Ou Mucen saw her and initially wanted to assist, but when he saw her petite frame stubbornly supporting herself against the bed and shifting to the wheelchair by the side of the bed, he quietly retreated.
Yes, she had always been a strong girl. Back then, she survived such adversity, so how could this small hardship easily defeat her now?
Sometimes, a person’s nature never changes, no matter what.
Moving from the bed to the wheelchair, the young girl already had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. Despite that, she didn’t feel tired; with the wheels of the chair rolling, she happily set out.
"Sister Wang, shall we go to the flower market today?"
"Of course, young miss. We’ll go after you’ve finished breakfast."
"Alright, then I’ll go brush my teeth and wash my face first!" She was truly happy, just like what Ji Chengzhi had said—people who stay inside for too long always want to go out for a walk.
Seeing this lifted Ou Mucen’s spirits as well. He picked up his notebook and prepared to leave the house.
But at that moment, in the living room, the girl who had just entered the bathroom suddenly poked her head out, "Husband, will you go see Han Duo again? If you do, you might as well ask her to visit Chengzhi."
That was a real roundabout way of speaking. Even he, who was used to her way of talking, was caught off guard for a moment.
To visit Ji Chengzhi? What did she mean by that?
He turned back to look at her, "Why should Han Duo visit Ji Chengzhi?"
The woman in the bathroom blinked, "Because Chengzhi is a doctor. She should see him. I think her illness is quite serious."
Ou Mucen finally understood, "Are you referring to last night?"
"Yeah, she said she was just weak from a lack of vital energy, but the jade she wore around her neck is from the Ming and Qing Dynasty, a Jade Clasp. Such a Jade Clasp, being so old, should become brighter and more translucent when worn by a healthy person, but hers is all grey and white."
Ou Mucen was stunned!
This woman, wasn’t she supposed to be clueless about everything? How could she still know so much about that stone? It’s absurd!!
Just staring at her, Ou Mucen watched intently for a long time before he asked, "So by that, you mean... what illness does she have?"
The woman brushing her teeth shook her head, "Dunno, but it’s definitely not minor. For the jade to become that dull, she either has a fatal illness or really bad luck."
To actually say she has bad luck, did that damned girl become a fortune teller after dying once?
Ou Mucen’s mood soured, and he glared at her. His handsome face was exceptionally grim, "What are you rambling on about? Take care of your own health. You can’t even take care of yourself, yet you’re meddling in others’ affairs."
After speaking, he disregarded her, put on his shoes, and left the house.
Ye Ning, fuming in the bathroom, glared helplessly: "Sister Wang, he scolded me!"
Sister Wang bent over laughing, "Yes, yes, the young master is certainly disobedient. Tonight, when he comes back, Sister Wang will scold him for you."
Only after hearing that did the aggravated girl continue brushing her teeth.
Having brushed her teeth and because she could visit Chiz Street today, Ye Ning quickly finished her breakfast. Then she and Sister Wang headed out together.
Of course, accompanying them were two bodyguards dressed in black to protect her, though they were invisible to their charge.
