The Sweetest Medicine

After the commotion that Ye Xi caused at the association, Su Jiushan gave Xiao Xiaoying a rare apology and did not turn up at the seminars again.

But, the presence or absence of one person did not make a difference.

By this time, the seminars were nearing completion with less than 3 days left. After almost a month of interaction, everyone had grown really close and parting ways was a little difficult. So, before they returned to their own cities and hospitals, it was only natural to get together

Yu Gangan was really busy for the next few days.

She left early and returned late every single day, attending farewell gatherings.

Originally, after the seminars, Yu Gangan was supposed to return to Baiyang City.

But, Lin Jiayu and Lu Xuechen’s wedding was to be held in a week, so she naturally stayed for it before returning.

After visiting the Jiang Family Home last time, Yu Gangan did not return for another follow-up with the old man.

With Elder Huang around, there was nothing to worry about.

But, she suddenly received a call from Jiang Qi that day, asking her to give the old man another follow-up consultation.

The consultation was just an excuse; the old man simply wanted to see Yu Gangan.

Over the past few days, the old man often talked about Yu Gangan, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Although they were all complaints and he always called her a stupid brat, Jiang Qi knew he wanted to see her.

When Yu Gangan arrived at the Jiang Family Home, Elder Jiang was with a friend.

The two old men were seated on the balcony, drinking tea, teasing the birds, playing chess and chatting.

When he saw Yu Gangan arrive, Elder Jiang pointed to a chair next to him, gesturing for her to sit down. He had to finish the game of chess first.

Jiang Qi smiled and dragged Yu Gangan over. She then introduced the other old man to her, “This is Grandpa Jian.”

There were two simple coffee tables displayed on the balcony: one was for playing chess, while the other one was for making tea.

Jiang Qi poured some boiling water on some teacups to heat them up and proceeded to brew some tea. As soon as the tea met the water, they turned into leaves and the smell was clean and fragrant. After serving the two old men, she handed a cup to Yu Gangan, “Try some. This is Dahongpao tea from Wuyi Mountain.”

Her voice was soft, afraid that she would disturb the chess game.

Yu Gangan received the tea and took a sip. The flavor was fragrant and refreshing.

After the game ended, the two old men drew a tie, but they weren’t happy with the result, so they agreed to compete for another 300 rounds.

The cute little Jiang Qi poured them some more tea and said softly, “Grandfather, Grandpa Jian, have some tea first and play again later.”

Grandpa Jian smiled at Jiang Qi and picked up one of the teacups for a sip. But, it wasn’t clear whether the tea was too hot or the old man didn’t enjoy the flavor, he frowned and put the tea back down without drinking it.

He then looked at Yu Gangan and asked, “Is this the brat that cured you with vegetable water?”

Elder Jiang smiled slightly, “Yes.”

There was a sense of pride and honor in his words.

“She’s so young.”

“Don’t underestimate her. At our age, haven’t you learned that you can’t judge a book by its cover?”

Yu Gangan wanted to scoff, “…”

This wasn’t what Elder Jian said before.

Grandpa Jian laughed with obvious disbelief.

“If you don’t believe me, then let her check your pulse.”

This little fake brat even figured out his personality based on his pulse. Elder Jiang was sure he could convince Grandpa Jian.

At first, Grandpa Jian disagreed. He was healthy and had just had a full-body exam recently, what was the point of getting his pulse checked? But, after a bit of resistance, he suddenly agreed.
