When he got to the living room, Mo Han looked around but didn’t see anyone else.
He placed the KFC he had bought on the dining table, then plopped down on the sofa and peeled a sugar mandarin from the coffee table before asking, "Ning’er, where are mom and dad and Chen Chen? Why are you the only one at ho?"
"Dad is playing with Chen Chen in the park of the neighborhood, playing with sand with other kids. By now, they should almost be back."
Luo Ning sat next to Mo Han, took the peeled sugar mandarin from her husband, bit into a segnt, and continued, "As for mom, what else could she be doing? She’s certainly not outside playing Mahjong."
"I’ve scolded her many tis, but she has never listened..."
"Right, what did Miss Qin want with you?"
Mo Han replied with a smile, "Nothing much, just that there was an elder in her family who wasn’t feeling well, and I went over there to give her a couple of needles. She’s pretty much better now."
His words were a mix of truth and falsehood. Miss Qin i’er had indeed asked him to go to the Wen Family to help treat granny Chen, but the old lady’s condition was quite tricky. Even for him, he had to perform the Zixiao Divine Needle technique several tis and use a Qiankun Elixir to revive her.
"Really?"
Luo Ning was obviously skeptical, "Xue Lao and Gui Lao are considered the leading figures in Jiuzhou’s field of traditional dicine, if even they can’t cure her, how could a few needles from you do the trick?"
"Of course, that’s a given. Don’t you see who your husband is?"
Mo Han boasted, "Although Xue Lao and Gui Lao have superb dical skills, they may not have seen every illness."
"The ailnt that Miss Qin’s family elder had was sowhat rare, not many people know how to treat it. It just so happens that I ca across it in a dical book I read, so that’s why..."
Luo Ning nodded, half-believing and half-doubting.
Mo Han, worried she might keep quizzing him, quickly changed the subject, "Ning’er, how many orders did you take today? Did you surpass a hundred?"
"Not surpass a hundred? Do you know how many orders the company received before I ca back from the studio?"
Rolling her eyes at him, Luo Ning replied, "Over three hundred orders, and that’s after I turned many away. If we accepted them all, our studio wouldn’t need to rest for the next five years."
"Luckily, Sister Ling knew I was under a lot of pressure and brought over more than fifty professional designers to help ."
"Oh."
Mo Han nodded, quite satisfied with Ling Yuzhu’s managent.
Indeed, she lived up to her reputation as a strong woman who had built Shengtian Group into the leading enterprise of Jiangling City, arranging everything so thodically.
"President Ling is really good to you. With so many professional designers helping out, those three hundred orders should be finished quickly."
"Mm."
Luo Ning nodded and smiled, "I was so anxious when I saw all those orders and couldn’t accept them. It’s a good thing Sister Ling ca with those designers. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known what to do."
"Good things take ti, just take it slow."
Mo Han smiled and asked, "Right, you ntioned earlier that you wanted to discuss sothing, what is it?"
Luo Ning said, "Husband, do you rember He Hui?"
"He Xiaohui? Isn’t she your high school classmate?"
Mo Han nodded and replied, "I rember during college you even took to Jiangling City’s No. 1 Normal School to see her. What about her?"
"She ssaged this morning, saying that her wedding is next Saturday and she wants us to bring Chen Chen along to attend, and to have Chen Chen be a flower girl."
"That’s no problem," Mo Han said with a smile. "Weddings are a joyous occasion, and I rember she ca to ours that year, so we should definitely return the favor."
"Saturday is perfect since Chen Chen doesn’t have school. We can bring her along and share the happiness."
Luo Ning seed to have more to say and hesitated before continuing, "There’s another issue that’s a bit troubleso."
Mo Han: "It’s okay, go ahead."
"Xiao Hui’s situation is a bit unusual. Her family has quite traditional thinking, and Xiao Hui didn’t take proper precautions recently and ended up getting pregnant by accident."
"Her family doesn’t really approve, and on top of that, she has a younger brother, so her parents are demanding a bride price of three hundred thousand. Although her fiancé, Peng Ye, has so money, his family also doesn’t really approve because Xiao Hui cos from a rural area."
"Xiao Hui and Peng Ye managed to scrape together two hundred and eighty thousand after much difficulty, but they’re still short twenty thousand. I was thinking about when Chen Chen was ill, Xiao Hui lent five hundred, so..."
"No problem, it’s just twenty thousand. You can make the decision," Mo Han said with a casual smile.
Luo Ning gave an awkward smile, "There’s also..."
"Uh..." Mo Han scratched his head, "Ning’er, just say everything at once."
Luo Ning continued, "Peng Ye and his family are not getting along too well. Originally, he was supposed to hire a car to pick up Xiao Hui, but his family, to force Peng Ye to give up, put Xiao Hui’s family in a difficult position by asking them to arrange the bridal escort."
"Xiao Hui is rather introverted and doesn’t have many good friends, just as her only close friend she can rely on. While my Porsche is quite nice, it wouldn’t really look appropriate for a wedding convoy."
"I don’t want Xiao Hui to feel inferior going to Peng Ye’s family, so I was thinking of asking your opinion, to see if we could borrow a nice car from one of your friends to put on a bit of a show."
