Chapter 23: Cousin

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Tan Xinhan didn’t care about this at all. She was just here to deliver the meal as a formality. There were so many grandchildren in the Tan family and naturally, Old Master Tan didn’t need her, a granddaughter who wasn’t in a favored branch of the family, to worry about his meals.

What she was doing now was just for others to see.

Upon hearing that, Tan Xinhan pretended to have just remembered something. “Cousin, look, I forgot. I’ll go deliver food to Grandpa first. If I have time, I’ll go to your house to hang out!”

At the mention of going to the Su Family villa, Tan Xinhan was reminded of Su Muxue’s endless clothes and accessories. She’ll just beg a bit and she’ll easily be able to have some of them.

Tan Xinhan even swallowed her own drool thinking about this.

Fine, another greedy person.

Su Muxue shook her head. This was the consequence of not having boundaries. Everyone treated her things as their own.

“Cousin Xinhan’s grandfather is so amazing and you’re so filial to him. He must be very nice to your family too, right? It’s been so many years, why hasn’t cousin invited us to your house?”

“Erm…”

“Oh look, you’re preparing to go home?”

Before Tan Xinhan could finish speaking, an old voice came from the door. At the same time, Yan Zhao walked in.

Seeing Su Muxue standing up on the floor, Yan Zhao first put the things in his hands on the table and then said in an unquestionable tone, “You haven’t fully recovered yet, why are you getting out of bed?”

When she saw him, Su Muxue was furious. “I’ve recovered. I can go home now!”

Yan Zhao frowned. “No, you…”

He couldn’t say the rest. He wanted Su Muxue to rest more, but he had never said caring words to anyone.

He had no experience at all!

Su Muxue wanted to leave, but he stood there and blocked her way. She had no choice but to sit down. At this moment, she heard a weak voice. “Grandpa… Grandpa.”

It was her good “cousin” who said it, directing it at the white-haired old man at the door.

However, the old man did not hear what Tan Xinhan said. Or rather, he did not want to hear it.

He was quite interested in the lover-like quarrel between Su Muxue and Yan Zhao.

Su Muxue looked at Yan Zhao and wondered who this old man was.

Yan Zhao gave a concise introduction. “He’s the doctor that’s treating your fever.”

If people who were familiar with them knew that Old Master Tan was being summarized in such a simple sentence, they would have wanted to argue with him.

Even Tan Xinhan felt that Yan Zhao and Su Muxue were like fools, they rush in where angels fear to tread.

She was waiting for her grandfather, Tan Xu, to flare up, but she did not expect him to accept this introduction with a smile!

“Yes, I’m the doctor who treated your fever yesterday. How do you feel today, young lady? Are you fully awake?”

It was just an ordinary question, but Su Muxue felt that there was a deeper meaning in his words. She couldn’t help but look at the old man and saw a pair of deep and wise eyes.

“It’s a good thing that you’re clear now, but if there’s anything you don’t understand in the future, you can come and ask me.”

Not only did Tan Xu give Su Muxue his contact number, but he also gave her the herbs he used on her yesterday. “I found this herb when I went up a mountain to pick herbs. It’s fated with you, so I’ll give it to you. It looks good when worn as an accessory too.”

That was true. The herbs were stored in a uniquely shaped bottle. Even if there were no herbs inside, it could still be worn as a necklace.

“But I’m not related to you at all. Why would you give me something so valuable?”

Only then did Tan Xu look at Tan Xinhan, who had been standing at the side for a long time. “If I remember correctly, you’re Xinhan’s cousin, right? So, you’re indeed related to our family! And this isn’t that valuable, I have as many as you want..”
