619: Aunt and Niece

Aunt and Niece

Yin Jia could not help but laugh. Was there anyone who would not be happy when faced with such a cheerful and warm person?2

The duo continued chatting, and they did not expect to hit off so well.

At this moment, Yin Jia's phone suddenly rang. It was Guan Tang. She rose to her feet and went out to answer the call.

"Sister, are you free this afternoon?" Guan Tang's exceptionally gentle voice rang from the other end of the line.

Yin Jia did not directly answer the question. Instead, she asked, "Why are you looking for me?"

Guan Tang replied, "Well, I want to see a Chinese doctor. I made an appointment with Doctor An."

Yin Jia was briefly stunned. When realization dawned on her, she said, "What time? I'll accompany you."

"2.30 in the afternoon," Guan Tang replied.

"Alright, let's meet at the parking lot outside of the hospital," Yin Jia said before disconnecting the call.

When Yin Jia walked into the room, Ye Cheng said, "You can leave if you have matters to attend to. There are doctors and nurses here. Moreover, I can take care of myself."

Yin Jia hesitated. Then, she asked, "Do you want to inform your family?"

Ye Cheng's expression darkened before he hastily said, "No, no. My father will be shocked. It's better to wait until I'm discharged and tell him face to face. As for my mother, her health isn't very good so I don't want to disturb her." Then, he smiled at Yin Jia before he continued to say, "It's alright. I'm not a child. You can go and do your work. When I'm better, I'll treat you to a meal and pass some of my good luck to you."

Yin Jia could not help but feel distressed for him. Hence, she readily agreed. "Alright. However, let me treat you to a meal instead. Not only did you get hurt because of me, but you're also passing some of your good luck to me. How can I let you treat me to a meal as well?"

"Alright, it's a deal," Ye Cheng said happily.

The duo exchanged numbers and reluctantly said goodbye.

…

Guan Tang poured herself a glass of fruit tea before she slowly picked it up. After taking a sip, she frowned. The tea was slightly sour. She had brewed the tea herself. It seemed like she would have to brew it all over again since she had gotten the ratio wrong.

At this time, Guan Ning walked over.

Guan Tang rose to her feet immediately. "Auntie."

Guan Ning smiled and gestured for Guan Tang to sit.

Just as Guan Ning was about to pour herself a glass of tea, Guan Tang quickly helped Guan Ning. Then, she said, "I didn't choose the prunes well so the tea's a little sour."

Guan Ning did not seem to mind. She took a sip and said, "I think it's okay."

Guan Tang smiled. "I didn't expect you to like it. I was just thinking of making another pot."

Guan Ning looked at her beautiful niece before she sighed softly and said, "It's been hard on you. However, you're always able to find your own peace in this chaotic world. If only Yin Yi has half of your composure, even if I die now, I'd die in peace."

Guan Tang hurriedly said, "Aunty, what are you saying? How can you say such unlucky words? Yin Yi is happy-go-lucky. She's my sister. No matter what, I'll always take care of her."

Guan Ning seemed to be very satisfied with Guan Tang's answer. She watched Guan Tang refill her glass before she softly said, "Cheng Che has a good relationship with his fiancee."

Guan Tang replied calmly, "I know. I called her and made an appointment to meet her in the afternoon."

Guan Ning's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Guan Tian smiled. "I have to know my enemy well, right? Yin Jia will be accompanying me as well."

Guan Ning was even more surprised by this. "How did you persuade her?"

Guan Tang took a sip of the tea before she said, "There's no need to persuade her. I only told her I'm going to meet Doctor An in the afternoon, and if she would like to come with me. She naturally agreed."

Guan Ning's face was filled with disbelief.

Guan Tang calmly said, "Auntie, I know what she's up to. Hence, I'm bringing her to meet that woman. Isn't she trying to start a war between the two of us? Then, I'll just lull her into a false sense of security. If she wants to watch a good show, I'll let her watch it. She wants to be the good person on both sides, but I won't let her do that. Let's see which side she chooses to stand on."
