Not only Lin Zhenye was curious, but Mrs. Lin and Lin Zhiyan were also a bit curious.
Looking at the three pairs of curious eyes, Nan Yan smiled lightly and said, “Actually, that was not poison at all. It was a health tonic that I specially prepared for Zhiyan to strengthen her body.”
“She is too afraid of death and too mentally stressed, so she developed her own hysteria.”
She didn’t have the habit of carrying poison with her.
Moreover, she had always adhered to her master’s teachings that medical skills were meant to save people, not harm them.
She would only use her medical skills to teach a lesson to truly bad people.
As for someone like Grandma Lin, who was malicious and temperamental, even if she couldn’t stand her, she wouldn’t really do anything to her.
At most, she would just frighten her a little.
Upon hearing Nan Yan’s explanation, Lin Zhenye instantly felt relieved and apologetic. “I apologize for the spectacle, Miss Nan…”
“It’s nothing.” Nan Yan’s expression was casual as she took out the medicine she had planned to give later and handed it directly to Lin Zhiyan.
“This is a half-month’s supply. When you finish it, I’ll give you a new one.”
Lin Zhiyan nodded eagerly. “I will take it on time!”
“Good.”
Lin Zhenye and Mrs. Lin quickly thanked Nan Yan again, grateful for her concern for Lin Zhiyan’s condition.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Nan Yan looked at Lin Zhiyan and said, “Zhiyan, shall we continue to look at your album?”
“Yes, yes!” Lin Zhiyan was excited.
Her mood was not affected at all by Grandma Lin’s earlier behavior.
On the contrary, she was excited because she had finally let out a sigh of relief today and made Grandma Lin apologize to her.
Nan Yan was right; she shouldn’t be weak, and she shouldn’t be afraid of Grandma Lin.
She only needed to care about the people who truly cared for her, and she didn’t need to pay attention to those who harbored ill intentions toward her.
“Yanyan, thank you!” Lin Zhiyan expressed her gratitude sincerely.
Nan Yan ruffled her hair. “You did well.”
When Nan Yan realized what she had done, her expression stiffened.
It was just a casual gesture!
After finishing their meal at the Lin family’s house, Lin Zhenye wanted to have the driver take Nan Yan back home.
But Nan Yan declined.
Once they were outside the residential area, she hailed a taxi, intending to go to the Lantis Hotel to accompany Old Madam Qin.
She didn’t have much else to do.
However, before she could reach the Lantis Hotel, Old Madam Qin called her.
“Yanyan, why aren’t you at home?”
Old Madam Qin looked at the locked door with a touch of melancholy in her tone.
She had finally completed her grandson’s assessment task and had him buy the room next to Nan Yan’s, intending to surprise her by moving in today.
But after ringing the doorbell and knocking on the door, she realized that Nan Yan wasn’t home!
It broke the old lady’s heart.
She had put in so much effort just to move closer to her beloved granddaughter-in-law.
Nan Yan spoke gently, “I had something to take care of and went out. Grandma, are you at my place?”
“Yes, Grandma is waiting for you at your doorstep!” Old Madam Qin sounded disappointed. “Then, Yanyan, you go ahead and do what you need to do. When you’re free, let Grandma know.”
“I don’t have anything to do now. I actually planned to go to the hotel to find you.” Nan Yan pinched her brow. If she had known, she would have called Old Madam Qin in advance. “Please wait there for a moment, and I’ll be home soon.”
“Okay!” Old Madam Qin’s face immediately lit up with a smile. “But Yanyan, take your time. It’s fine. Grandma has plenty of time!”
She would be living here from now on, and there would be plenty of time to spend with her granddaughter-in-law!
For the sake of her precious granddaughter-in-law, she had even refused to go back to the capital.
She could only return when the relationship between the two young lovers stabilized and their feelings deepened.
“You don’t have to wait outside all the time. Go to the service room on the first floor and wait for me there,” Nan Yan said, worried that Grandma would strain herself by standing for too long.
“Okay, Grandma will wait for you!” Old Madam Qin happily hung up the phone.
It’s so good to have a granddaughter-in-law like her!
Nan Yan thinks about her in everything she does!
“Driver, please change the destination. I want to go to Jingtai Garden Residential Area,” Nan Yan requested, changing the destination.
After half an hour, they arrived at the apartment building. Nan Yan handed the fare to the driver and quickly walked inside.
There was no Grandma in the first-floor service room.
Nan Yan frowned.
Could it be that Grandma had been waiting upstairs all this time?
She entered the elevator and went up to the sixteenth floor.
But there was no one outside the corridor either.
Nan Yan couldn’t help but worry.
She took out her phone and called Grandma Qin.
“Yanyan, have you come back?”
“Yes, Grandma, where are you? Did you go back first?” Nan Yan asked.
“No, Grandma is waiting for you.” After saying that, Old Madam Qin hung up the phone.
Soon, Nan Yan noticed that the door opposite her apartment had opened.
Grandma walked out from inside.
Relieved, Nan Yan greeted her, “Grandma, do you know the owner of this place?”
“No.” Old Madam Qin smiled happily. “Grandma bought this apartment. From now on, Grandma will live here and be your neighbor!”
LNd11 Idli:
This Grandma really is stubborn…
But since she had already bought it, what could she say? Besides, she didn’t have the right to say anything.
“So, is Brother coming to live with you too?”
“No, he’s not.” Old Madam Qin smiled and said, “Ah Lu likes the atmosphere of hotels. Whenever he goes on a business trip, he always chooses to stay in a hotel.”
“Every major city has a Qin-owned chain hotel, and each hotel has a room specially reserved for him.”
She actually wanted Qin Lu to come and live with them. After all, the closer the distance between two young people, the easier it would be for them to become attracted to each other and deepen their relationship.
However, when she thought about her grandson’s lifestyle, she decided not to ask him.
Moreover, she wouldn’t be used to living with him either.
“Oh, then where will you have your meals?”
“The hotel will deliver the meals,” Old Madam Qin replied as if it were a matter of course. “Yanyan, how have you been handling your meals these days?”
Nan Yan paused for a moment and said, “I eat breakfast and lunch outside, and I cook dinner myself.”
“In that case, you don’t need to cook anymore. Grandma will ask them to send an extra portion, and we can eat together!”
Seeing the inviting look on Grandma’s face, Nan Yan had the words to refuse at the tip of her tongue but hesitated to say them. She smiled instead, “Thank you, Grandma.” “You don’t need to be so polite with Grandma!”
“Alright.”
Nan Yan smiled and took out her key to open the door, inviting Old Madam Qin inside.
At night, Nan Yan and Old Madam Qin were having their meal in Nan Yan’s house when the doorbell rang.
Nan Yan put down her chopsticks and went to open the door.
When she saw the elegant and peerless figure outside the door, she was momentarily stunned.
“Brother?”
Regaining her senses, she stepped aside to let him in.
“Why did you come here?”
Qin Lu’s voice was low and pleasant. “I came to see Grandma and also to see you.”
“Oh.” Nan Yan understood. “Have you eaten yet? If not, we can eat together.”
Qin Lu looked at the girl’s obedient appearance and reached out to ruffle her hair. “Well, let’s eat together.”
