Chapter 1325: Chapter 1326: Feel the Pulse Chapter 1325: Chapter 1326: Feel the Pulse âWhat did you buy?â Meng Xinian propped his elbows on his knees, leaned forward slightly with hands clasped, and fixed a sharp gaze.
This posture exuded a strong sense of oppression, causing even Old Meng and Meng Chaojun to involuntarily lower their breaths, feeling somewhat stifled.
Sweat beads formed faster on Duan Qingqingâs forehead.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
âIt must be Grandpa Chen. Iâll go open the door.â Chiang Xiao turned and walked out.
Old Meng was puzzled. âDoctor Chen? Whatâs he doing here at this time?â
âWe invited him over,â Meng Xinian said indifferently, glancing at Duan Qingqing.
Duan Qingqing panicked, feeling that something was terribly wrong, and moved to stand up. She felt an urge to flee.
âSit down.â Meng Xinianâs flat tone stopped her from moving.
Meng Chaojun gave her a deep look.
Chiang Xiao helped Bao Shan into the room.
She didnât want to waste time; Director Wei was coming in the afternoon. If things werenât clarified and resolved before his arrival, there was a real chance Duan Qingqing could drag everyone down.
Old Meng and Meng Chaojun, the whole Meng family, Chiang Xiao didnât care about them.
What she cared about was only Meng Xinian.
Meng Xinian had never relied on the Meng family. If he ended up being dragged down by them, she would be furious.
So, as soon as she brought Bao Shan into the living room, she immediately said, âI heard that Duan Qingqing has been feeling unwell these days. I specially invited Grandpa Chen to take her pulse.â
âWhat? Take my pulse!â Duan Qingqing screamed, her voice sharp with fright.
Meng Chaojun looked at her. âItâs just taking your pulse, Qingqie, why panic?â
âI, Chao Jun, you know, Iâve always been terrified of doctors and medicinesâŠâ Duan Qingqing couldnât sit still any longer, standing up and stepping back.
Chiang Xiao walked over to her, reached out to hold her, pressing slightly on her shoulder. Duan Qingqing suddenly felt her half body go numb, unable to walk anymore, only able to lean on Chiang Xiao.
âWhat are you doing? What have you done to me? Chiang Xiao, let me go!â
Duan Qingqing felt on the verge of collapse inside.
âI havenât done anything, relax, it wonât hurt you, just sit still and let Grandpa Chen take your pulse!â
âI donât want to take my pulse! I just had a cold, itâs already better, why take my pulse? I think youâre up to something!â
Duan Qingqing screamed, but her body was numb, and she couldnât run away on her own.
Bao Shan didnât understand what the Meng family was up to; he was purely doing this as a favor to Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao.
If Chiang Xiao asked him to take Duan Qingqingâs pulse, then he would do just that.
He sat next to Duan Qingqing on the sofa, Chiang Xiao already pressing her hand onto the armrest.
âDonât touch me! Chao Jun, Chao Jun, Doctor Chen is still a man, how can you let him touch me?â Duan Qingqing turned her head to speak to Meng Chaojun, pitiful and aggrieved.
Old Meng glared at her.
What nonsense is this?
Doctor Chen is so old, and such a renowned traditional medicine doctor. Countless people beg for his diagnosis.
âShut up! Doctor Chen, donât bother with her nonsense.â
Bao Shan didnât respond, nor did he pay her any heed.
Actually, many people were currently watching every move of Meng Chaojun, learning about why they left the Capital and what they were up to, which soon reached his ears.
Coincidentally, it was these past few days that this news came through.
