After the divorce, I became a mountain god

While it is a matter of course that one should compensate for damaging other people's property, many people in reality, when faced with such situations, do not take the initiative to assume their due responsibility but instead argue with the other party, trying to shift the blame onto them. If they cannot shift the blame, they can at least minimize the amount of compensation they have to pay.

However, Mr. Dong did not argue his way out of this situation, but instead paid Xu Bo'an the corresponding compensation as requested. This improved Xu Bo'an's impression of Mr. Dong considerably.

Therefore, Xu Bo'an's polite attitude towards Mr. Dong today is mostly due to the preconceived notions he had yesterday.

At this moment, Zhang Jimin was deep in thought, pondering which of his granddaughters could win over Xu Bo'an, and didn't respond to Xu Bo'an's words.

Xu Bo'an looked at Zhang Jimin, whose face seemed troubled, and said, "Dr. Zhang, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

After hearing Xu Bo'an's question, Zhang Jimin finally came to his senses and looked at Xu Bo'an with an embarrassed expression, saying, "No...no, it's just that I feel you are too outstanding in terms of both medical skills and character. I wonder when my granddaughter Susu will be able to learn even a tenth of your medical skills!"

Zhang Jimin certainly couldn't reveal to Xu Bo'an that he was secretly plotting to have his two granddaughters make advances towards Xu Bo'an. So he simply steered the conversation towards that topic, hoping to indirectly glean some clues about his granddaughter Bai Susu and Xu Bo'an from Xu Bo'an.

Bai Susu is Zhang Jimin's granddaughter, so Xu Bo'an naturally had to praise her a lot in front of the old man!

Xu Bo'an said to Zhang Jimin, "Mr. Zhang, Susu herself graduated with a master's degree in medicine. She is a true medical prodigy. Of course, she can master her specialty with ease. Susu has made great progress in her studies recently. I think she has great potential in medicine and will definitely shine in the medical field in the future. You don't need to worry about that at all!"

Hearing Xu Bo'an speak so highly of his granddaughter, Zhang Jimin was overjoyed. If Xu Bo'an hadn't been there, Zhang Jimin would probably have been grinning from ear to ear.

However, since Xu Bo'an was still here, Zhang Jimin suppressed his smile, and only a faint smile could be seen on his wrinkled face.

Putting everything else aside, Xu Bo'an's high praise for Bai Susu indicates that he at least doesn't dislike his granddaughter, Bai Susu, which means there's still a good chance for the two of them.

Zhang Jimin looked at Xu Bo'an with a kind smile and said, "Bo'an, you've worked so hard teaching Susu medicine these past few days. If there's anything you need help with, just let her know!"

As Bai Susu's maternal grandfather, Zhang Jimin's words were quite succinct, and Xu Bo'an could certainly understand them. However, Xu Bo'an pretended not to know anything and politely said to Zhang Jimin, "Dr. Zhang, Susu is usually quite busy with work, and I don't want to bother her. Besides, I don't need any help with anything! There's no need to trouble her!"

Just as Xu Bo'an finished speaking, Bai Susu pushed open the door and entered. Seeing her, Zhang Jimin quickly said to his granddaughter, "Susu, you're finally done! Bo'an's here too, come and rest for a while!" Bai Susu felt a strange unease about her grandfather's words. Did he mean that just because Xu Bo'an was here, she could rest for a while? And if Xu Bo'an wasn't here, couldn't she just go to his office to rest? Honestly, what kind of logic was that!
What was Zhang Jimin thinking? Bai Susu, as his granddaughter, knew it all too well. She knew that her grandfather Zhang Jimin admired and loved Xu Bo'an, and she also knew that Zhang Jimin actually hoped that she could be with Xu Bo'an. But was it really okay to make things so clear in front of Xu Bo'an?

Bai Susu looked at her maternal grandfather Zhang Jimin and said, "Grandpa, look at what you're saying. I'm your granddaughter. Whether Bo'an is here or not, it's only natural for me to rest in your office for a while!"

Zhang Jimin looked at his granddaughter Bai Susu and said, "Yes, yes, you're right. You child, it's as if I've never let you come here to rest. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Have you finished your work this morning?"

Sitting in the chair, Bai Susu nodded and said, "Yes, I'm finally done!"

Zhang Jimin said, "It's good that I'm done with my work. I'll go learn medicine with Bo'an this afternoon!"

Bai Susu said to her maternal grandfather, Zhang Jimin, "That's what I'm planning too!"

After Bai Susu finished speaking, she looked at Xu Bo'an and asked, "By the way, Bo'an, do you have time this afternoon?"

Zhang Jimin had just overheard Bai Susu addressing Xu Bo'an by his full name. Given the older generation's strong traditional values, and Zhang Jimin's desire for a further development in their relationship, he felt it was inappropriate for Bai Susu to address Xu Bo'an that way. Before Xu Bo'an could reply, Zhang Jimin looked at Bai Susu and said, "Susu, Bo'an is your master now. How can you address him by his full name? You're being very impolite!"

Xu Bo'an looked at Zhang Jimin and said, "Mr. Zhang, it's alright, I don't mind! Whatever you call me is just a form of address, there's no need to be so particular!"

After listening to Xu Bo'an's words, Bai Susu made a mischievous face at her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, look, Bo'an didn't say anything, why are you making a fuss about this? Young people these days don't care about this!"

After listening to Bai Susu's words, Zhang Jimin's gaze turned serious as he looked at her. He said to Bai Susu, "Susu, you have formally performed the apprenticeship ceremony for Bo'an, so you have a true master-disciple relationship. Moreover, Bo'an taught you medicine without expecting anything in return. Out of respect, you should call him 'Master.' Do you understand?"

Seeing the stern expression on her grandfather Zhang Jimin's face, Bai Susu immediately became obedient and said to him, "Grandpa, I understand. From now on, I'll call Xu Bo'an 'Master,' okay? Don't be so strict! Otherwise, I'll be scared!"

Upon hearing his granddaughter Bai Susu's words, Zhang Jimin's stern expression vanished, replaced by a gentle one. He said to Bai Susu, "That's right! Never forget your place!" (End of Chapter)
