The two of them walked out while chatting about topics related to traditional Chinese medicine.
When they reached the hospital lobby, Du Wenbin borrowed paper and pen from the nurse at the front desk and wrote down an address: "Xinyan, keep this, visit when you have time."
Xinyan smiled and accepted it with both hands: "Thank you, Iâll definitely visit when I have time, please send my regards to the elderly."
Calling her "the elderly" was indeed somewhat impolite, but she didnât want them to think she was trying to cozy up.
Du Wenbin probably guessed this too: "Donât call her âthe elderlyâ, next time just call them Grandpa Du and Grandma Du."
Xinyan laughed crisply: "Alright, Iâll listen to you."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they parted ways.
He Jinxuan watched the elderly man leave: "How did you guys meet before?"
Xinyan then recounted the incident on the train: "The old man was really nice, he answered a lot of my questions and taught me a lot about traditional Chinese medicine during the trip."

At the entrance of Lyu Junchengâs family courtyard in the Mechanical Factory, a crowd had gathered, watching the drama unfolding inside. Many were whispering quietly.
A woman walked to the Tian Familyâs courtyard wall: "Qinglan, whatâs going on here?"
Sister Tian glanced at the neighboring Lyu Family, shook her head and said, "I wasnât home earlier, so I really donât know what happened."
The woman continued, "How did she fall just like that?"
Someone chimed in, "I just heard Granny Yao say the child canât be harmed, whatâs going on?"
"I donât know, I heard someone say before that although Yao Huiâs child was saved, Yao Hui was seriously injured this time and will have to stay in bed to recuperate."
"So whatâs the situation now, doesnât Lyu Juncheng want this child?"
Sister Tian, upon hearing this, quickly found an excuse to return to her courtyard, unwilling to get involved in this topic. It would be strange if Lyu Juncheng wanted this child, he can barely raise his own, let alone someone elseâs. How is that possible?
Inside the house, there was still arguing, but it was clear that people inside were deliberately keeping their voices down, with only bits of sentences occasionally audible.
Granny Yao glared angrily at Lyu Juncheng: "Lyu Juncheng, are you even human? How could you treat Yao Hui like that?"
Lyu Juncheng squatted in the corner: "Can you blame me? If Yao Hui hadnât schemed against me, would I have married her?"
Granny Yao was now extremely regretful, thinking: Why didnât I stop my youngest daughter, how is this matter going to be resolved?
It turned out that ever since Yao Hui got pregnant and had a fight with Lyu Juncheng, the two had been in a cold war.
Lyu Juncheng not revealing the betrayal didnât mean he could endure Yao Huiâs betrayal, so he thought he could quietly get rid of the child and simply treat Yao Hui as a complete housemaid in the future.
So he tampered with something in the kitchen, and Yao Hui indeed fell for it. Although the child in her womb was resilient enough that even after a fall caused bleeding, the surrounding neighbors were helpful and got her to the hospital in time, saving the child.
However, the doctors also said Yao Hui had injured her health this time, and it would be best for her to rest at home until the child is born.
Let alone that the child wasnât Lyu Junchengâs, even if it was his, he didnât have the conditions to let her lie at home for seven or eight months now, so how could Lyu Juncheng agree?
Feeling guilty, Yao Hui did not dare to confront Lyu Juncheng directly. When he returned to work in the workshop and Mrs. Yao came home to cook, she got off the hospital bed, wanting to ask the doctor about her condition directly.
Only she didnât expect to hear an enormous joke.
