Chapter 742 - 745: Some Rejoice While Others Grieve

"Oh! Doctor Jiang, what are you saying? I don’t trust anyone else, but I do trust you."

Jiang Ran’s response to the old lady’s words was neither here nor there.

Whether the old lady trusted her or not wasn’t really important to Jiang Ran.

After all, the facts were right there. She might not believe them now, but eventually, she would.

The old lady still looked earnestly at Jiang Ran, "Doctor Jiang, my daughter-in-law is pregnant now. Is there anything she needs to pay special attention to? Should she be taking some medicine?"

Jiang Ran looked over curiously, "She’s pregnant, not sick, why should she take medicine?"

"No." The old lady chuckled twice, "Isn’t it said that you should take some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy?"

"The pregnancy is perfectly fine, why take medicine? Medicine is three parts poison, too much isn’t good."

When she heard the first part of what Jiang Ran said, the old lady’s face already turned unpleasant.

But after hearing the latter part, the old lady quickly nodded with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Doctor Jiang, you’re right. Medicine is three parts poison, indeed we shouldn’t take it lightly. Otherwise, if my grandson has any issues from that, what would we do?"

Jiang Ran was speechless hearing the old lady’s words again.

The baby had just been conceived for a month, how could she already be sure it was a grandson?

If it turned out not to be a grandson, would the old lady change her expression right away?

It’s not that Jiang Ran was biased against the old lady, but the old lady’s various actions and words gave her that feeling.

But after all, it’s someone else’s family matter, and it’s the old lady’s own thinking, so others can’t interfere, hence Jiang Ran said nothing.

The old lady carefully supported Li Cuizhi to stand up, looking completely different from when they first met due to her attentive and cautious behavior.

Although people change, this change seemed a bit too outrageous.

Watching the old lady assist Li Cuizhi as they left, Jiang Ran then proceeded to see other patients.

Because the reputation of the clinic was growing, more and more people came attracted by it.

This was a good thing.

But some aspects were still a bit odd.

For example, most of these new visitors were coming for fertility issues.

Jiang Ran even felt at times like she wasn’t a doctor, but the Goddess of Childbirth.

When this thought emerged, even Jiang Ran couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

As the days grew hotter and summer clothing hit the market, Jiang Ran, although busy with the clinic, hadn’t completely put aside her collaboration with the Wu Family, and she had completed the necessary design sketches.

Seeing her designed clothes hit the market again, receiving unanimous praise, made Jiang Ran truly happy.

In this world, no matter the circumstance, there are always some who are happy and some who worry.

While Jiang Ran felt happy, the Jiang Family’s atmosphere felt much more subdued.

Engaged in the fashion business as well, the Jiang Family once led trends and dominated the field.

But now, within just a year, there was a subtle trend of the Wu Family overtaking them.

No matter who one is, experiencing such a disparity would be hard to swallow.

Jiang Zhongguo, always a man with a strong business drive, felt quite upset watching the Wu Family’s booming business while theirs was being suppressed.

Yet, there seemed to be no solution available.

Sitting idly in the study for half a day, Jiang Zhongguo finally stood up to find Jiang Zhi.

"Dad, I think we can’t go on like this."
