Tan Rou took out the present for Shen Jing. “Auntie, this is the bracelet we bought on the way here. I think it suits you very well. Try it on.”
Shen Jing was very surprised. She knew jewelry well, so she could estimate the price of this bracelet at a glance. “You’re giving me such an expensive bracelet?” To Shen Jing, the price of this bracelet was average, but to Tan Rou, this bracelet must have cost her a lot of money.
“Yes.” Tan Rou nodded. “Third Brother brought me to the Antique City for a walk. I bought a painting, but I didn’t expect it to be the long-lost authentic work of Wu Dao, ‘The Hundred Miles of the Spirit River’. I sold it. 1 bought it for 3,000 and sold it for 50 million.”
“I see.” Shen Jing said, “I’ve heard of this painting before. It was said that it appeared once more than twenty years ago, but for some reason, it suddenly disappeared. With how much money you made, I guess you didn’t lose much either.”
“So, Auntie, just accept it with peace of mind.” Tan Rou took out the bracelet. “Shall we try it on?”
Shen Jing reached out and took off the jade bracelet she had been wearing. “Rourou, could you help me with it?”
Shen Jing had been living like a prince for many years. Her skin was delicate and white, and the white jade bracelet suited her perfectly.
“It’s so beautiful!” Shen Jing couldn’t put it down. “I’ll wear this when I go out in the future.”
“Auntie, don’t be in a hurry to take your hand back.” Tan Rou said, “Just let me check your pulse as well.”
Shen Jing was very happy. She rolled up her sleeves and said, “Rourou, the medicine you gave me is really useful. I’ve only taken it for a while, but I could feel that the quality of my sleep has improved a lot. My body doesn’t hurt as much anymore.”
Tan Rou nodded slightly and carefully checked her pulse. There was no problem in general. The remaining poison in her body would slowly disappear too.
“Auntie, have you eaten anything cold recently?” Tan Ron’s expression turned solemn.
Shen Jing smiled awkwardly. “It was too hot yesterday. I was a little thirsty when 1 was looking at my friend’s house, so I drank a small glass of ice water.”
“Haven’t I told you before? Your body isn’t too healthy yet and you shouldn’t take too many cold things.”
As she was getting lectured by a young girl, she felt a little embarrassed. “I… I’ll remember it now.”
Tan Rou also felt that her words were too harsh, so she softened her tone. “What I meant was that you can only eat whatever you want after you’ve fully recovered.”
Shen Jing understood that Tan Rou was doing this for her own good, so she promised, “I promise I won’t eat secretly again. 1’11 definitely strictly follow the doctor’s advice.”
Tan Rou nodded in satisfaction. “Alright, I’ve already checked your situation. You don’t have to take this batch of medicine after you finish it. I’ll change some of the medicine for you and ask the Third Brother to bring it over for you.”
Shen Jing was very touched. “I really don’t know how to thank you.”
“There’s no need to thank me.” Tan Rou looked at Zhuang Liu. “The third Brother has also helped me a lot.”
Shen Jing looked at the two of them, her heart filled with anticipation. When would her son be able to woo Rourou?
After Tan Rou checked on Shen Jing, it was Zhuang Liu’s turn. “Since I would be staying here for dinner, why don’t I take this opportunity to give you acupuncture?”
Zhuang Liu looked at his mother and then at the auntie who was cooking in the kitchen. He suddenly felt shy. “Let’s go back to the hotel. We’re just here for dinner today.”
“It’s not time for dinner yet. I’ll give you acupuncture.” Tan Rou took out a bag of silver needles from her bag. “According to the situation of the acupuncture last time, you don’t need to do the acupuncture again after this.”
“Rourou, is his leg really going to recover?” Shen Jing asked excitedly when she heard Tan Ron’s words.
Tan Rou understood Shen Jing’s feelings. She suggested, “Why don’t you come with me, Auntie? I’ll perform acupuncture on Third Brother now. I’ll have to trouble you to wipe my sweat.” Usually, Tan Rou would wipe her sweat during acupuncture. With Shen Jing around today, she could save some trouble.
“I… Can I?” Shen Jing really wanted to participate in this acupuncture session. She had been blaming herself for not being able to cure her son for so many years. Now that there was an opportunity for her to participate in her son’s treatment, she would definitely seize it.
“Of course you can.” Tan Rou could empathize with Shen Jing’s feelings. Women were more sensitive and it was easier to develop empathy. She invited Shen Jing to come along because she wanted Shen Jing to untie some of the knots in her heart. This would be beneficial to her recovery..
