Chapter 77 - 77 Seventy-seven jealousy

Chapter 77: Seventy-seven, jealousy Chapter 77: Seventy-seven, jealousy Song Yan Ning looked at Mr. Zhou with a humble smile, “Grandpa Zhou, I’ve only learned the basics; my grandfather’s medical expertise is truly profound. You should let my grandfather take your pulse; he’d surely detect the cause in no time.”

Mr. Zhou laughed heartily and teased Song Yan Ning, “But I want you to take my pulse.” He didn’t actually have any illness; it was just that with age, his blood pressure was a bit high. However, he usually controlled it very well. Having Song Yan Ning take his pulse was simply to see whether she could determine his issue.

“Alright then, I will respectfully comply,” Song Yan Ning walked up to Mr. Zhou and reached out to place her hand on his wrist.

“Xiao Ning, take a look at me too when you’re done, my stomach has been quite uncomfortable lately,” Grandpa Wang said cheerfully as he watched Song Yan Ning.

“Of course, Grandpa Wang,” Song Yan Ning nodded in reply.

Qin Yushen watched Song Yan Ning, his thin lips unconsciously curving into a slight smile. She was really special, making him irresistibly want to know more about her.

Song Yanxue noticed the smile on the corner of Qin Yushen’s mouth, and the rage and jealousy inside her could no longer be contained. She stepped forward, intending to fiercely reprimand Song Yan Ning and make her understand her place and what right she had to seduce Brother Yushen. Brother Yushen was hers; she was the one who was truly suitable for Brother Yushen.

Yang Xin’er reached out to stop Song Yanxue, who was about to dash forward, “Xiao Xue, mind the setting.” To be honest, Song Yan Ning’s performance today was quite unexpected to her. However good her performance was, she still wouldn’t like her.

“Mom, she’s seducing Brother Yushen,” Song Yanxue gritted her teeth and glared at Song Yan Ning, wishing she could glare a hole through her.

Yang Xin’er glanced around at everyone, and seeing that their attention was on Song Yan Ning, she sighed in relief and pulled Song Yanxue aside to whisper, “Xiao Xue, listen to Mom, I know you really hate that eyesore, and I feel the same. So today, you have to perform even better, don’t let her overshadow you, understand?”

Song Yanxue nodded, “But Brother Yushen smiled at her.” She had been with Brother Yushen for so long, and she had never seen him smile at her, yet today, Brother Yushen had smiled at that eyesore more than once. She was so jealous!

“Don’t mind it, with Mom here, I assure you that Xiao Shen will definitely marry you,” Yang Xin’er patted Song Yanxue on the shoulder, comforting her softly. Xiao Xue could enter the Emperor Realm for training, a place Song Yan Ning could never reach in her lifetime. How could she compare with her Xiao Xue? In the future, Xiao Xue would definitely surpass Song Yan Ning by leaps and bounds.

“Okay!” Song Yanxue nodded and looked at Song Yan Ning with a hint of mockery and triumph in her eyes. Since Mom said so, what was there to worry about?

Song Yan Ning withdrew her hand, “Mr. Zhou, your health is very good, but you need to watch your blood pressure, especially in terms of diet. Make sure to go for low salt and low fat. Try to keep it light. It’s best to take a walk after dinner, about half an hour to an hour would be appropriate.”

Mr. Zhou nodded appreciatively, “Not bad! Such medical skill at such a young age will certainly lead to great achievements.”

Song Yan Ning smiled modestly, “You flatter me, Grandpa Zhou!”

“Hahaha… Old Song, your granddaughter has really won my heart. I have a grandson just a few years older than Song Yan Ning; she’s so outstanding, and surely there will be many suitors in her future. It would be great if we could become in-laws sometime down the line,” Mr. Zhou thought the idea wasn’t bad. His grandson was just a few years older than Song Yan Ning; her outstanding nature meant she wouldn’t lack pursuers. By securing her early, he wouldn’t have to worry about someone else sweeping her away.

Qin Yushen’s eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of displeasure in his depths.

“Mr. Zhou, stop dreaming, Xiao Ning has long been promised to my Xiao Sheng in a child betrothal,” Mr. Qin chuckled. Xiao Ning was a child he had set his sights on, and he wouldn’t let anyone snatch him away.

The displeasure in Qin Yushen’s eyes vanished instantly, his slightly raised eyebrows indicating his good mood.

“Mom,” Song Yanxue shook Yang Xin’er’s hand, her eyes filled with anxiety.

“Don’t worry, you have me,” Yang Xin’er reached out and rubbed Song Yanxue’s head. She would never let such a thing happen. Xiao Shen was destined to be Xiao Xue’s husband, her husband alone. Only someone as exceptional as Xiao Xue was suited for Xiao Shen.

“Mom!” Song Yanli approached Yang Xin’er and pointed at Song Yan Ning, “Is she Xiao Ning’s sister? She’s so impressive!” She had seen Xiao Ning’s sister just now and was truly amazed.

Yang Xin’er frowned slightly, displeased.

“What’s so impressive about her? Can she play the piano? Does she dance Latin? Can she speak English?” Song Yanxue snorted discontentedly. It was just some medical skills learned from their grandfather, nothing extraordinary.

Song Yanli ignored Song Yanxue and walked over to Song Yan Ning, “Xiao Ning sister, I’m your second sister, Song Yanli. Welcome home.” She thought Xiao Ning’s sister wasn’t ugly, just a bit dark-skinned and her features had yet to develop. Perhaps when Xiao Ning’s sister grew up, she’d be even more beautiful than her and her elder sister.

“Hello!” Seeing Song Yanli’s genuine smile, Song Yan Ning also smiled in response.

“Xiao Ning sister, you’re really amazing, knowing how to check pulses. Can you teach me?” Song Yanli looked at Song Yan Ning expectantly. Her dream was to become a doctor who saves lives and helps the injured.

“No problem,” Song Yan Ning smiled and nodded.

Song Yanxue stomped her foot in frustration, “Mom, look at Xiao Li.”

Yang Xin’er thoughtfully observed Song Yan Ning. Indeed, Song Yan Ning had impressed her. In such a short time, not only had she managed to deal with these old gentlemen, making them happy, but they were also competing to have her as their granddaughter-in-law.

Even the usually obedient Xiao Li was taking her side. This Song Yan Ning was not to be underestimated; she had to make her leave Beijing soon. Otherwise, the old man might really agree to let her return to the Song Family.

“Xiao Ning, you should move back home,” Mr. Song said. Such an outstanding child, if well nurtured, was bound to have a limitless future. It was just unfortunate that the quota to enter the Emperor Realm was already filled. Otherwise, giving it to Xiao Ning would have definitely made her even more outstanding.

“Yes, Xiao Ning sister, you should stay at home,” Song Yanli said with hopeful eyes. If Xiao Ning sister stayed, she could learn medical skills from her.

Yang Xin’er and Song Yanxue both watched Song Yan Ning with tense faces. If she dared agree, they would definitely make life difficult for her.

Yang Lisheng and Li Meixiang also looked at Song Yan Ning, their eyes filled with a mix of reluctance and joy. Mr. Song suggesting Xiao Ning stay in the Song Family made them truly happy for Xiao Ning, even though they felt a deep sense of reluctance.
