Chapter 5 Meeting again
As Grandpa Jiang looked at his granddaughter, he seemed to see the baby still in swaddling clothes in his mind's eye.
When he first found Jiang Ning, the little girl was only a few months old and covered in blood. Everyone advised him not to take her in because she was too small and wouldn't survive without breast milk.
But it was winter, and none of the onlookers wanted to adopt Jiang Ning. Old Master Jiang couldn't bear it and took Jiang Ning back with him. Even though his son and daughter-in-law opposed his adoption of Jiang Ning, he still insisted.
As his grandfather, he wanted Jiang Ning to live a good, peaceful, and joyful life more than anyone else.
This is also the reason why Grandpa Jiang named Jiang Ning with the character 'Ning'.
“Ningning, we’re family, so let’s not talk about those empty words. Since you’ve decided to start over, don’t think too much. Grandpa gets a salary every month, so supporting your college entrance exam and university education is no problem at all. It’s getting late, so calm down, wash up, and go to bed. I’ve even saved your room!” Even if Jiang Ning didn’t get into a good university or give him a better life, Jiang Ning was still his granddaughter, and his devotion to her was selfless.
“Okay, Grandpa.” Jiang Ning nodded and walked towards the room.
Grandpa Jiang also walked to the corner of the living room.
Seeing the old man familiarly pull back the curtain and lower the single bed to prepare for sleep, Jiang Ning felt a pang of sadness. It seemed she needed to quickly find a way to make money, improve the quality of life, and let the old man live in a luxury single room.
Return to the room.
After taking a shower and removing her heavy makeup, Jiang Ning sat in front of the dressing table and finally saw the original owner's true appearance beneath the heavy makeup.
The person in the mirror had skin as white as snow, crescent-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. She was a stunning beauty with striking features. What surprised Jiang Ning even more was that she had thought the original owner only resembled her by about 70 or 80 percent. She never expected that she and the original owner looked exactly alike.
Even the position of the small red mole under the eyebrows is exactly the same.
It seems.
Her rebirth as the original owner due to the bombing may not be a coincidence.

the next morning.
six thirty.
After a quick wash, Jiang Ning changed into her workout clothes and prepared to go downstairs for a morning run.
Grandpa Jiang is already busy at the restaurant.
Jiang Ning greeted the old man with a smile, "Good morning, Grandpa."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jiang turned to look at Jiang Ning, somewhat surprised, "Ningning, why are you up so early?"
“I’m going for a morning run,” Jiang Ning replied.
The original body was in poor health; he had only been in a fight last night, and his whole body ached when he woke up this morning.
Jiang Ning decided to train hard and regain her good figure and physique from her previous life.
Morning run?
Upon hearing this answer, a look of heartache flashed in Grandpa Jiang's eyes again.
My granddaughter used to live a very carefree life, sleeping whenever she wanted except for school hours. But now, she actually gets up at six o'clock in the morning and even goes for a morning run.
I can't even imagine what kind of life my granddaughter had to endure during the year she spent in the Cheng family, trying to please them!
After going downstairs.
Jiang Ning first jogged around the neighborhood twice, then practiced a set of Five Animal Frolics exercises, and didn't return home until two hours later.
Grandpa Jiang had already prepared breakfast: freshly steamed meat buns, porridge, and a plate of spicy cabbage.
Grandpa Jiang smiled and said, "Ningning, go wash your hands and get ready to eat."
"Okay, Grandpa." Jiang Ning went to the bathroom to wash her hands.
After washing my hands, I went to the restaurant and sat down to eat with Grandpa Jiang.
The morning sun shone through the window, casting a soft glow on the grandfather and grandson.
While eating, Grandpa Jiang said, "Ningning, your Grandpa Zhou is still in the hospital. I happen to be off today, so after breakfast, you can come with me to the hospital to see him."
"Okay." Jiang Ning nodded and took a sip of porridge.
After finishing their meal, Grandpa Jiang suddenly received a call from the supervisor asking him to work overtime, so he had to ask Jiang Ning to go to the hospital first.
Just before leaving, Grandpa Jiang handed Jiang Ning a card. "Ningning, this is the money Grandpa usually saves for you. The password is your birthday. You can use this card for your daily expenses from now on. Don't worry about not having enough money. Grandpa's money is more than enough to support you. If you run out, just ask Grandpa for more."
To provide for his granddaughter, after deducting the rent, Grandpa Jiang saves 1500 yuan for her every month.
Jiang Ning looked at Grandpa Jiang and asked, "Grandpa, how much money do you have in this bank card?"
"Probably around 30,000," Grandpa Jiang replied.
Jiang Ning continued, "Then consider this money an investment in me. In ten days, at most ten days, I can increase the balance in this card tenfold. Grandpa, just wait for me to take you to live in a big villa!"
Although Grandpa Jiang smiled and agreed, he didn't take his granddaughter's words to heart.
How could a little girl like her have such great abilities?
Let alone ten days, she can double her bank account balance.
I'm afraid even ten months wouldn't be enough.
After saying goodbye to her grandfather, Jiang Ning took the nutritional supplements and went out to take the bus to the hospital.
About forty minutes later, she got off the bus.
Just as she reached the hospital entrance, a figure wearing sunglasses hurriedly walked past her.
But soon.
The man stopped, took off his sunglasses, revealing a flirtatious face, and struck up a conversation with her with a smile, "Beautiful lady, haven't we met somewhere before?"
Jiang Ning slightly raised her eyes.
They quickly recognized him as Yun Haotian, whom they had met just the night before.
But Jiang Ning didn't want to have anything to do with him right now, so she said coldly and distantly, "We're not close, thank you."
Yun Haotian stared at Jiang Ning's retreating figure, feeling slightly dazed. He was handsome and dressed in designer brands, and it was always beautiful women who would approach him. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation, and also the first time he had been rejected.
This feeling is a bit subtle!
**
Jiang Ning has a bad sense of direction. She followed the signs for about ten minutes before finally finding the elevator in the inpatient department. As soon as she entered the elevator and pressed the button for the ninth floor, a figure rushed over, and then an arm reached in from the outside. The elevator doors immediately opened to both sides.
Then Yun Haotian, who had just been chatting with Jiang Ning, appeared at the elevator door and respectfully greeted, "Uncle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and slender figure walked inside.
Shen Jingnian, dressed in a suit and tie, exuded a powerful and intimidating aura. Almost as soon as he stepped into the elevator, the atmosphere in the small space instantly became oppressive.
Anyone else would probably have been intimidated by Shen Jingnian's powerful aura, but Jiang Ning remained calm.
She didn't take this person seriously at all, turned around to face the elevator wall to fix her hair and admire her own beauty. She was so calm and composed that it was as if there was no one else in the elevator.
The elevator walls were wiped very clean, and Jiang Ning's eyebrows and eyes were clearly reflected on them.
Yun Haotian recognized her at a glance as the girl who had just been at the hospital entrance.
Yun Haotian's pupils contracted slightly, a look of shock flashing across his face.
Without him!
All because Jiang Ning was too calm.
Shen Jingnian not only has a top-tier net worth, but also top-tier good looks. The young girls outside are undoubtedly captivated by his stunning good looks, but Jiang Ning is completely oblivious to them!
Who is she?
Just then, Jiang Ning's arm was suddenly grabbed, and with a gentle tug, she fell into a broad and sturdy chest, her high nose bridge throbbing painfully from the impact.
A faint sandalwood scent wafted into my nasal cavity.
Everywhere.
boom!
At the same time, the wooden board on the top of the elevator, used to keep out dust, fell heavily onto the spot where Jiang Ning had just stood.
If Shen Jingnian hadn't pulled Jiang Ning away in time, Jiang Ning's head would be smashed to pieces by now.
In fact, Jiang Ning's alertness has always been very good, but because she had just been reborn and her five senses were still slowly recovering, she did not notice the abnormality at the top of the elevator in time.
Looking at the fallen plank, Jiang Ning was still shaken. She looked up and thanked him solemnly, "Thank you!"
"It was nothing," Shen Jingnian said, his expression unchanged.
It was when she looked up that Jiang Ning noticed a thin layer of sweat on Shen Jingnian's forehead. Although it was already the hot summer, the hospital kept the room temperature at around 20 degrees Celsius all year round in order to inhibit bacterial growth. He was only wearing a black silk shirt, so how could he be sweating?
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. Jiang Ning immediately noticed the abnormality and then asked, "Have you been feeling irritable lately, and do you also experience dizziness when you wake up in the morning?"
Seemingly surprised that Jiang Ning could see through his symptoms at a glance, Shen Jingnian lowered his head slightly, his exquisite phoenix eyes filled with the majesty of a superior. Even though he deliberately concealed his sharpness, it still made people tremble with fear.
After a moment, he spoke calmly, "That's right."
Jiang Ning narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, "Heat is a yin evil, and its nature is to contract and draw, obstructing qi and blood. You have had these symptoms for two or three months. In traditional Chinese medicine, this is a typical case of qi and yin depletion. If it is not treated in time, it will cause serious damage to the lungs and lead to coma."
As Jiang Ning spoke, she took out paper and pen from her bag, quickly wrote down a prescription, and handed it to Shen Jingnian. "This is a prescription that can cure Qi and Yin depletion syndrome. I have written down all the precautions."
Shen Jingnian took the prescription and said calmly, "Thank you for your trouble."
Jiang Ning smiled slightly, "We're even."
He saved her once.
She saved him once too.
Jiang Ning dislikes owing favors to others the most.
Yun Haotian looked at Jiang Ning's profile, his eyes filled with vigilance.
He accompanied his uncle to the hospital.
But the doctor said it was because of excessive internal heat, and that taking some heat-clearing medicine would be enough. These symptoms were completely contrary to what Jiang Ning said, and they were not as serious as Jiang Ning described.
Is she using some special method to attract her uncle's attention?
Ding!
The elevator then sounded an alarm.
We've reached the ninth floor.
Jiang Ning turned to leave, but as she reached the corner, she turned back again and instructed, "Remember to take the medicine I prescribed!"
Shen Jingnian stared in the direction she had disappeared, his phoenix eyes narrowing slightly. "So... it was her."
is her?
who is it?
Hearing this, Yun Haotian looked puzzled.
Then, considering that Shen Jingnian is still a lifelong single and has always viewed women as monsters, he unexpectedly saved Jiang Ning today.
Thinking of this, Yun Haotian seemed to have discovered some earth-shattering gossip, "Uncle, did you fall in love with that girl at first sight?"
love at first sight?
Standing at 1.92 meters tall, Shen Jingnian exuded an imposing aura beside Yun Haotian. He reached out and tapped Yun Haotian's head, his tone icy, "The girl I like in this world hasn't been born yet. Besides, I'm against marriage."
