Chapter 427: I’ve Been Waiting for You to Say That

"Alright then, don’t mind if we do!"

Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying didn’t stand on ceremony with Shen Nian and immediately accepted.

It wasn’t that they wanted to take advantage of Shen Nian. If they ever had anything good, they would definitely think of her too.

Shen Nian told Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying that she and Lu Cheng were planning to invite their close colleagues from the group for a meal. Both Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying were all for it, and Lin Jingyun even offered to go over and help Shen Nian.

Zhang Ying wanted to help too, but in her current condition, no one would dare let her.

The three of them discussed it for a while longer and quickly settled on a rough date for Shen Nian and Lu Cheng’s dinner party.

"By the way, what happened to Liu Fanglan?"

Zhang Ying hadn’t forgotten about Liu Fanglan. She despised the woman for viciously shoving her to the ground. Thankfully, Shen Nian had been there, and her baby was fine. Moreover, Liu Fanglan had always made things difficult for Shen Nian. She didn’t want Liu Fanglan to get away with it after everything that had happened.

This time, before Shen Nian could speak, Lin Jingyun told Zhang Ying how the group had dealt with Liu Fanglan.

Zhang Ying was a group leader’s wife and had been with the group for a while, so she could also understand the group’s considerations.

"She got off easy! Xiao Nian, don’t worry. If anything like this happens again, you have to tell us. We’ve got your back!"

"I have a feeling that after word of this gets out, no one will dare to try anything with me again."

Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying glanced at each other, both recalling how Shen Nian had silenced Liu Fanglan with a single needle. They instantly believed her.

But in any case, the fact that a menace like Liu Fanglan was finally leaving was a great thing.

Over the next few days, Shen Nian and Lin Jingyun visited Zhang Ying from time to time. With Shen Nian’s periodic treatments, the pregnant Zhang Ying’s complexion improved day by day.

It made Lin Jingyun so jealous that she lamented not having met Shen Nian when she was pregnant.

It wasn’t until she received a call from the Chu Family that Shen Nian realized several of these leisurely days had already passed.

The Chu Family had called specifically to remind Shen Nian about her visit. After her last trip to their home, Shen Nian had already agreed on a date for her next visit and scheduled Chu Zhengwei’s second acupuncture session.

This time, however, Lu Cheng didn’t have the day off, so Shen Nian had to go alone.

Just like last time, Chu Yunze drove to the group’s entrance to pick up Shen Nian.

She had met Chu Yunze a few times now, so she didn’t feel awkward even without Lu Cheng there.

"You have no idea! For the past few days, Mr. Chu has been talking about you nonstop. Just today, he kept rushing me to leave and pick you up, afraid I’d be even a second late!"

The moment Shen Nian got in the car, Chu Yunze started grumbling good-naturedly. It had been a long, long time since he had seen his grandfather care so much about someone.

"Mr. Chu probably just has a craving."

Shen Nian said with a smile. ’Mr. Chu is actually quite endearing.’

"Isn’t that the truth? He only eats that happily when you’re around. Forget Mr. Chu—even I’m starting to get a craving!"

"In that case, I’ll make a new medicinal dish for you all today!"

"That’s fantastic! I was waiting for you to say that!"

"Brother Yunze, I heard from Ah Cheng about the injury you sustained back then. Even though it’s healed, your body was severely weakened at the time. If you’re willing, I can help you slowly nurse it back to health."
