13: Chapter 13 "Miraculous Healing" - Demonstrating Power

Old Lady Wang, who had been holding Qin Ge's hand and sitting on the sofa with a beaming smile, heard Jiang Yingxue's explanation.

She looked at Qin Ge beside her, and in an instant, her expression became somewhat unnatural.

Jiang Yingxue's heart skipped a beat.

She felt so regretful she wanted to slap herself.

It's over!

This excuse was too absurd.

She had just said Qin Ge was discussing business, yet the next second he appeared right next to her grandmother.

It was a massive slap to her own face.

Most importantly, Grandma was incredibly sharp; she must have guessed something.

Jiang Yingxue looked at Qin Ge sitting on the sofa, her teeth itching with hatred as she clenched her small fists.

It was all Qin Ge's fault!

This guy did it on purpose!

He intentionally didn't reply to her messages and didn't coordinate with her.

And now, he was just watching her make a fool of herself in front of Grandma!

Old Lady Wang pulled a long face and stared at Jiang Yingxue, annoyed. "What exactly is going on here?"

Qin Ge took the Old Lady's hand and said with a smile, "Grandma, can't you tell?"

"Originally, we planned to give you a surprise. But Xiao Xue drives slowly, so I arrived first. I couldn't wait to see you, so it ended up like this."

The Old Lady turned to Qin Ge, her face full of a kind smile. "Really?"

Qin Ge nodded firmly. "Of course it's true. Since the last time I saw you, Grandma, it's been thirty-one days, nine hours, twenty-eight minutes, and seven seconds—no, eight seconds..."

The Old Lady burst into laughter at Qin Ge's few words.

She held Qin Ge's hand, her eyes full of doting affection. "My Qin Ge's mouth is like it's been smeared with honey. You aren't lying to Grandma, are you?"

Qin Ge shook his head repeatedly. "Of course not!"

Sizing up Qin Ge's face, the Old Lady muttered suspiciously, "Why does Grandma feel like you've become even more handsome than before?"

Qin Ge couldn't help but want to laugh.

What was his charm score before?

Ever since he took the beauty rejuvenation pill and the aura pill, his temperament and looks were maxed out.

Of course he was more handsome than before.

His looks were even more formidable than his physique, okay?

Hearing this, Jiang Yingxue sized up the Qin Ge before her.

It was as if she were seeing him for the first time.

Qin Ge really did seem different from before.

He was better looking, more pleasing to the eye.

She couldn't find a single flaw.

If she had to use a word to describe him, "peerlessly handsome" seemed very fitting.

Qin Ge held the Old Lady's wrinkled hands with both of his. "Grandma has also become more beautiful."

Knowing what to say in any given situation.

He had mastered these social graces back on Earth.

Not to mention when facing an Old Lady who adored him?

The Old Lady patted Qin Ge's hand. "Nonsense, how old is Grandma already? My face is full of wrinkles."

Qin Ge shook his head. "Beauty is in the bones, not just the skin! Your bone structure, Grandma, is nearly perfect. Xiao Xue inherited her looks from you; otherwise, how could she be the number one beauty in Yunhai City today?"

"If you were a few decades younger, Grandma, the title of Yunhai City's number one beauty would have to change hands!"

Jiang Yingxue quickly sat down next to her grandmother, hugging her and muttering affectionately, "Grandma is very beautiful. In her old photos, she's no worse than me."

The Old Lady hummed, pretending to be angry. "So that means when I was young, I was still a little bit worse than you, Xiao Xue?"

Jiang Yingxue pinched her fingers together in a tiny gesture. "Just a tiny bit."

"You, you just love yourself too much!" The Old Lady poked Jiang Yingxue's smooth forehead, then her gaze turned cloudy with disappointment. "With your temper, only Qin Ge can put up with you."

She glared at Jiang Yingxue. "If I find out you dare to bully Qin Ge in the future, see if I don't give you a thrashing!"

Qin Ge flexed his biceps and showed off to the Old Lady. "Grandma, look at these muscles. Xiao Xue bullying me? I could knock the crap out of her with one punch!"

Even the Old Lady was momentarily speechless.

She glanced at her slender granddaughter.

The Old Lady couldn't help but smile.

She shook her head and took Jiang Yingxue's and Qin Ge's hands, placing them together.

Jiang Yingxue instinctively wanted to struggle.

Although she and Qin Ge were boyfriend and girlfriend.

Some physical contact had still never happened.

She was a bit uncomfortable.

However, since it was in front of her grandmother, she didn't dare pull her hand back.

She could only blush and silently endure it.

The Old Lady looked at Qin Ge and said earnestly, "Child, Xiao Xue just has a bit of a bad temper. In reality, she's not a bad person at heart."

"Grandma wouldn't feel at ease leaving Xiao Xue to anyone else."

Her cloudy eyes filled with emotion as she looked at Qin Ge. "Child, can you promise Grandma that after I'm gone, you'll never let Xiao Xue be mistreated?"

"If she dares to bully you, you can scold her or even hit her, but you must never just ignore her."

"Grandma is afraid that after I'm gone, no one will truly care for Xiao Xue anymore."

Jiang Yingxue hugged her grandmother, sobbing with grievance, "Grandma, don't talk nonsense. You won't die. You'll definitely live to be a hundred!"

The Old Lady counted on her fingers. "Then I can only live for twelve more years."

Jiang Yingxue shook her head. "No, Grandma can live to be a hundred and twenty, or even two hundred!"

She didn't care!

She just couldn't accept that her grandmother would leave her!

The Old Lady said self-deprecatingly, "Then wouldn't Grandma become a thousand-year-old turtle?"

Qin Ge chimed in, "Or a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise."

Jiang Yingxue looked up and snapped at Qin Ge, "You're the tortoise!"

"You, you, you!" The Old Lady raised her hand as if to hit Jiang Yingxue. "What's wrong with being a tortoise? If Grandma were a tortoise, I could live for ten thousand years!"

"Grandma isn't even dead yet, and you're already bullying Qin Ge."

"You really want to anger Grandma to death, don't you?"

The Old Lady grabbed Jiang Yingxue's hand and slapped the back of it several times.

It would have been fine if she hadn't, but the movement was too much.

The Old Lady was suddenly panting for breath.

This shortness of breath became increasingly severe.

Within half a minute, the Old Lady began to tremble like a leaf.

"Medicine! Medicine!" Jiang Yingxue pointed to the Old Lady's handbag and cried out urgently.

Qin Ge resisted the urge to respond with "Check it out," took a large number of capsules out of the bag, and looked at Jiang Yingxue with a frown. "When was the last time she took this medicine?"

Jiang Yingxue immediately replied, "Two and a half hours ago."

Qin Ge shook his head. "This medicine is too hard on the heart. It can't be taken multiple times in a short period; otherwise, something will go wrong."

Jiang Yingxue suddenly remembered the doctor's instructions and said with red eyes, "Then what should we do? Right, call an ambulance! Call an ambulance!"

Qin Ge raised his hand to stop her. "It will take at least half an hour for an ambulance to get here. It's too late."

He picked up the Old Lady in his arms and walked straight to Jiang Yingxue's bedroom.

After settling the trembling Old Lady, he reached out and began to perform a massage on her acupoints with smooth, flowing movements.

In Western medicine, the Old Lady's condition would be called palpitations and a spike in blood pressure, leading to complications.

But in the eyes of Chinese medicine, it was a blockage of Qi.

A Chinese physician with some skill just needed to smooth it out.

Coincidentally, after obtaining the medical skill "The Art of Restoring Life," Qin Ge's mastery of Chinese medicine techniques was as natural as moving his own limbs, not at all inferior to the leading lights of the Chinese medical world!
