I never expected that while taking my grandmother to visit West Lake today, I would run into Jiang Chen.
"I came to West Lake with a classmate today. It's a world-famous attraction, and I've never been here before. This is my classmate Lin Jingzhu, and this is Zhou Xuemei!" Out of politeness, Jiang Chen explained his purpose and introduced his companions.
"Hello!" "Hello!" Yue Hui greeted Lin Jingzhu and Zhou Xuemei. Zhou Xuemei looked visibly surprised; as a local from Hangcheng, she knew who Yue Hui was. The famous beautiful CEO of Hangcheng had appeared on television numerous times, so Zhou Xuemei naturally recognized her.
After the three exchanged greetings, Jiang Chen was about to ask Yue Hui how she ended up there when Yue Hui pointed to the elderly lady beside her and said, "This is my grandmother. She has difficulty walking and rarely goes out. The weather is nice today, so I brought her out for a stroll."
"Hello, Grandma!" Jiang Chen, Lin Jingzhu, and Zhou Xuemei quickly greeted the elderly lady.
"Hello, hello!" The elderly lady nodded, feeling pleased that these were her granddaughter's friends. Especially the young man named Jiang Chen; it seemed her granddaughter had a good attitude towards him. The elderly lady rarely saw her granddaughter behave so positively towards a young man.
"Grandma, I know a bit of medicine; let me help you with your legs," Jiang Chen said, noticing that Yue Hui was supporting her grandmother as they walked slowly.
The elderly lady shook her head. "I've had this ailment for many years; even the hospital can't cure it. How can a young man like you help?"
But Yue Hui felt a surge of joy; she had witnessed Jiang Chen's abilities before, so it wasn't surprising that he knew some medicine. "Grandma, let Mr. Jiang take a look!"
Since her granddaughter trusted Jiang Chen, the elderly lady reluctantly agreed; after all, it wouldn't hurt to have a look. Yue Hui helped her grandmother sit down on a nearby bench, and Jiang Chen began placing his hands on the elderly lady's legs, using his energy to eliminate the hidden ailment in no time.
Lin Jingzhu and Zhou Xuemei were skeptical, especially Lin Jingzhu; she had never seen Jiang Chen study medicine before. Could it be that Jiang Chen liked Yue Hui and wanted to impress her? That seemed possible; no wonder Jiang Chen wasn't paying attention to her now. But how did they know each other? Moreover, it appeared that Yue Hui had a good attitude towards Jiang Chen as well.
"Alright, Grandma, try walking now!" Jiang Chen said.
"Is it really better already?" Even Yue Hui felt a bit doubtful.
The elderly lady stood up and walked around, feeling that her legs indeed felt much better.
"Wow, Grandma, your legs are really fine now?" Yue Hui noticed her grandmother walking much more lightly and couldn't help but ask in shock.
"Yes, Jiang Chen really helped me heal. I must say, this young man is quite impressive," the elderly lady nodded in agreement.
Lin Jingzhu and Zhou Xuemei exchanged astonished glances. Yue Hui was also surprised; her grandmother's ailment had been seen by many renowned doctors without any solution. Yet with Jiang Chen's help in less than two minutes, she was back to normal—this was simply unbelievable and left everyone stunned.
However, they didn't want to ask too many questions and simply smiled to praise Jiang Chen's skills.
"Miss Yue, you're so beautiful! I wonder if you have a boyfriend?" Zhou Xuemei asked with a smile.
At the mention of a boyfriend, Yue Hui's expression changed slightly as she thought of Hu Yuan and glanced at Jiang Chen, feeling somewhat awkward. But Jiang Chen remained unfazed and showed no change in expression.
"What's wrong? Miss Yue?" The elderly lady noticed Yue Hui's change in demeanor and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, Grandma. Let's go sightseeing at West Lake together with Mr. Jiang!" Yue Hui quickly shifted the topic.
Zhou Xuemei and Lin Jingzhu didn't press further and continued enjoying the scenery.
After visiting several attractions at West Lake, Yue Hui rented a pleasure boat and began to drift on the lake, which indeed offered beautiful scenery as an urban lake.
"Hey, isn't that President Yue? What brings President Yue out here to enjoy a boat ride on West Lake today?" Suddenly, a frivolous voice came from the bow of another boat.
Yue Hui frowned and turned to look. It was a young man in casual attire, whom she recognized as Dong Mingshui, the youngest son of the chairman of Lilon Group in Hangcheng. Dong Mingshui was notorious in Hangcheng as a wealthy second-generation heir, and Yue Hui had interacted with him before, leaving her with an unfavorable impression.
She glanced at him briefly before turning her gaze away.
Seeing that Yue Hui ignored him, Dong Mingshui wasn't offended. He whispered something to a middle-aged man beside him, who then grabbed Dong Mingshui by the back and leaped directly onto Jiang Chen's boat.
The two boats were about five or six meters apart, and the middle-aged man’s ability was impressive, leaving Lin Jingzhu and the others dumbfounded.
Dong Mingshui swaggered onto the boat, completely disregarding Jiang Chen and his companions, and walked straight up to Yue Hui.
"Miss Yue, why are you ignoring me? I haven't offended you," he said with a smile.
"Why should I pay attention to you? Please don't disturb me," Yue Hui replied coldly, clearly displeased by Dong Mingshui's uninvited presence and lack of manners.
"Miss Yue, what’s so great about hanging out with this group? It would be much more interesting to explore West Lake with me. To be honest, I've admired you for a long time. I heard you were engaged to Hu Yuan, Hu Sanxiong's son, so I kept my feelings hidden. But now that Hu Yuan is dead and you're free again, I feel I can't hesitate any longer. I've decided to pursue you," Dong Mingshui declared with a grin. His audacity was indeed remarkable; being a super-rich heir gave him the confidence to say such things.
"With you? Do you really think you have the right to pursue me?" Yue Hui scoffed, her eyes filled with disdain. Everyone knew her standards for a partner; she wouldn't even consider someone like Dong Mingshui—a notorious playboy—who dared to approach her. It was simply laughable.
"If I don't have the right, then who in Hangcheng does?" Dong Mingshui retorted proudly.
"Hmph! Who gave you that confidence? You're just being an eyesore in front of me; leave quickly," Yue Hui said coldly.
"Now that I'm here, I'm not going anywhere. Miss Yue, you should really consider me. A union between our families would definitely be beneficial," Dong Mingshui insisted stubbornly.
As the top socialite in Hangcheng, Yue Hui was stunningly beautiful and had been the dream girl of countless wealthy heirs. If Dong Mingshui could marry her, his family would surely approve, and he would gain significant prestige.
"Get lost." Faced with Dong Mingshui's relentless pursuit, Yue Hui had little patience left and dismissed him with a single word.
"Miss Yue, don't be angry! You’re not still hung up on Hu Yuan, are you?" Dong Mingshui chuckled lightly, showing no intention of leaving.
Yue Hui frowned and glanced at Jiang Chen. She felt worried that if Dong Mingshui continued to prattle on, Jiang Chen might just end up killing him.
