Chapter 740 - 743: No Progress

If Wang Cuilan didn’t ask, Jiang Ran wouldn’t bring it up voluntarily, and she wouldn’t feel it was a big deal.

But now that Wang Cuilan asked, Jiang Ran felt that if she didn’t say something, it didn’t seem quite right.

Seeing the hesitant expression on Jiang Ran’s face, Wang Cuilan showed a knowing expression.

"No need to say, I understand."

Jiang Ran, "???"

Before Jiang Ran could ask what Wang Cuilan understood, she heard Wang Cuilan say, "Are you guys planning to introduce Pei Yang to a girlfriend?"

"?"

"I know, you can’t help but worry about your younger siblings. Shanshan is already settled, so there’s no need to worry, but that kid Pei Yang really makes people worry. Thinking of introducing a girlfriend to him is for his own good."

"Ranran, rest assured, go ahead and find someone for him. If he dares to say anything, I’ll be the first to set him straight."

Listening to Wang Cuilan’s words, Jiang Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

But when it came to explaining things clearly to Wang Cuilan, Jiang Ran didn’t even know where to start.

After thinking for a little while, Jiang Ran finally said, "Actually, this... Mom, things aren’t settled yet. I’ll tell you first thing when it takes shape, how about that?"

Wang Cuilan patted Jiang Ran’s hand, "Is there anything I can’t trust you with? Of course, that’s great! Come on, let’s get inside and have a meal!"

Even though Jiang Ran knew Wang Cuilan must have misunderstood, she really didn’t have a way to explain right now and could only let it be.

The two of them went inside together, and just as they entered, they met Pei Yang’s worried gaze.

Jiang Ran blinked at Pei Yang, signaling him not to worry.

Pei Yang’s mind was quick enough, and after seeing Jiang Ran’s signal, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to head to the kitchen.

Wang Cuilan only brought up this matter once that day. After that, although she often smiled at Jiang Ran with a mysterious look, she really didn’t ask anything else.

Even Jiang Ran couldn’t help but praise Wang Cuilan for her ability to hold it in.

Usually, when someone has a matter they’re concerned about, they can’t help but ask about it.

But Wang Cuilan managed to hold it in by sheer force.

It’s often said that those who can endure what others cannot will achieve what others cannot; there’s some truth to that.

After the medical clinic opened, Jiang Ran became busier than before.

But all her efforts were paying off.

On the opening day of the clinic, it was a lively affair and gained some reputation.

Plus, with the promotion from friends and family, as well as the customers accumulated from selling Scar Removal Ointment previously,

every day after opening, there were patients coming for consultations.

Not to say the business was excellent, but as long as people came to seek treatment, even if they were skeptical about Jiang Ran at first,

by the time they left, they were all smiles.

The clinic’s reputation spread through word of mouth among these people.

More and more people came, and the clinic became increasingly well-known.

This was a mutually beneficial situation.

In this busyness, time slipped by quietly.

Before anyone realized it, more than a month had passed.

In this past month, Jiang Ran also paid some attention to Pei Yang and Wu Qian but didn’t notice anything substantial.

They seemed not to have met or even called each other.

Without contact, how could there be any progress?

Of course, Jiang Ran just sighed inwardly and didn’t intend to interfere.
