Chapter 620: She Thought the Nan Family Was Poor

“East Sea,” Jiang Yu rested her cheek on her palm, tilting her head, “You remember that old man called Elder Lu, right?

He completely dried out his lips trying to get her to be his apprentice, and she wouldn’t agree.

It made Elder Lu so angry that he’d get into drinking bouts with me several times, and he’d curse her when he was drunk, saying she was wasting her talented hands.”

Pei Dongshi nodded, “I remember.”

“I think he had a point, your junior sister,”

Jiang Yu drawled melodiously, stretching the last note ever so slowly, and glanced deliberately at Nan Jiaojiao, “She’s fed by the heavens but uses a leaky bowl, she has skills but she’s just too lazy.

When she’s short of cash, she’d sell a couple of drugs or run overseas to sell a painting.

Once she has money, she slacks off.

You set her up with Veil of Immortality, right?

She doesn’t care about it at all; I’ve never seen anyone so lazy.”

Bo Yanching’s eyes twitched, looking meaningfully at Nan Jiaojiao, “Veil of Immortality is yours too?”

“I…” Nan Jiaojiao wanted to be modest, but following Jiang Yu’s jest, said, “I was short of money at the time.”

“It’s not her fault, though.”

Jiang Yu waved his hand, as if to reason with Bo Yanching, “Her grandfather fell ill a few years ago.

It was quite serious, nearly died.

Jiaojiao, in order to raise money, indeed exchanged her talents for some cash and managed to pull her grandfather back from the brink.”

Bo Yanching’s heart tightened, leaning closer to Nan Jiaojiao, “Is that true?”

Nan Jiaojiao gave him a look, her expression complex, and finally nodded.

“Is your grandfather’s health better now?”

“It’s better.”

Bo Yanching said, “If you’re ever short of money again, tell me, I’ll give it.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s expression grew more complicated, hesitating to speak.

She indeed had raised money for her grandfather’s illness because she thought the Nan family was poor.

Her grandfather and her young uncle had always been low-key.

They never told her about the prestige of the Nan family in Green City.

In fact, even before her grandfather retired from Nan’s, he was already the richest man in Green City.

Since then, the Nan family’s fortune could compare with those in the top ten of the international wealth rankings.

It was ridiculously wealthy, and to this day, no one knew just how rich the Nan family really was.

After her grandfather fell ill and her young uncle was not at home, she suddenly felt full of family duty.

She sold medicines and paintings, feeling incredibly noble and burdened.

She even revealed the skills she had hidden for more than ten years, truly giving everything.

Little did she know, her grandfather had always had a private doctor.

The look the butler, Uncle Qiu, gave her when she returned with the money…

even thinking about it made her cringe.

“How is his health now?

Has it relapsed?

I know a few authoritative doctors; tell me what illness your grandfather had, and I can arrange something,” Bo Yanching coaxed her warmly, taking the matter seriously.

Nan Jiaojiao took a deep breath, feeling stifled, “You’re better off not knowing.”

One clown in the family was enough, and besides, she felt embarrassed even just mentioning such foolish acts.

Bo Yanching stared at her without blinking.

It made Nan Jiaojiao so uneasy, “There’s been no relapse.

He’s doing very well.

You’ll see when you visit during the New Year.

If there’s really an issue, I’ll definitely tell you.”

Only then did Bo Yanching let it go.

“Ahem…”

Pei Dongshi knew that Jiang Yu was intentionally misleading, and seeing how awkward Nan Jiaojiao was, he felt anxious for her and wanted to help clarify things a bit, but Jiang Yu kicked him hard.

He opened his mouth and inhaled a gust of cold air, coughing even harder.

“Choked?

How careless of you.”
