He has worried himself sick over the years for her, but she still lives a life of idleness and complacency.
It even nearly destroyed the medicinal herb garden he had painstakingly cultivated.
"I know a little," Chen Ran said tactfully.
"You're too modest," Wu Haoran laughed. Then he added, "Since you're so outstanding, why don't you help me with an illness?"
"Grandpa!" Xiaoling, who was standing nearby, immediately became anxious, feeling that her grandfather was insulting Chen Ran.
Chen Ran raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is something wrong with your health?"
"Sigh." Wu Haoran sighed, his eyes filled with worry. "I've been feeling unwell lately, and I've been to many places, but they can't find the cause."
"Let me see," Chen Ran nodded.
“Okay.” Wu Haoran didn’t hesitate and led Chen Ran into the house.
Along the way, Wu Haoran chatted with Chen Ran, asking about Chen Ran's teachers and parents.
Chen Ran gave a simple answer.
He didn't dislike Wu Haoran, but he didn't like him either.
“This gentleman…” Li Xuan couldn’t help but interject at this moment.
She noticed that Chen Ran was different from others and became wary of him.
She felt that Chen Ran might not be as simple as she imagined.
However, Chen Ran glanced at her, a look of disgust flashing in his eyes.
He didn't say anything, turned around and left.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, are you deaf?" Li Xuan shouted angrily, somewhat embarrassed and angry.
Chen Ran paused, turned around and said coldly, "Do I know you? What right do you have to tell me what to do?"
“You…” Li Xuan was speechless with anger.
"Alright, this young man just came back from the mountains, he's probably exhausted, let's leave him alone," Wu Haoran stopped him.
Li Xuan bit her lip, feeling frustrated but unable to vent her anger.
"Haha, let's go to the living room to chat," Wu Haoran said warmly.
Chen Ran nodded.
The two entered the living room.
Soon, the tea was served.
Li Xuan stared at Chen Ran, her eyes shifting between light and shadow.
She felt a sense of familiarity with Chen Ran, but she just couldn't quite place him.
"I haven't been feeling well these past few days, could you please take a look at me?" Wu Haoran said, taking a sip of tea.
Although he was old, he was in excellent spirits, exuding an air of refinement and wisdom.
"I only know some basic medical skills," Chen Ran said calmly.
"Hehe, I know." Wu Haoran waved his hand and said seriously, "Ordinary doctors can't cure my illness. But Xiaoran, you're different. You definitely have a way."
"I can give it a try, but I need some materials," Chen Ran said after a moment's thought.
0 ·····Requesting flowers·· ·····
"Don't worry, I'll prepare the materials you need. I won't treat you unfairly," Wu Haoran readily agreed.
His gaze toward Chen Ran grew increasingly kind, for Chen Ran possessed a quality quite similar to his own when he was young.
Especially when he looked at Xiaoling, his eyes revealed concern; he was a kind and good man.
"Xiao Ran, thank you." Xiao Ling smiled happily.
... 0th
"Silly girl, it's been so long since we last met, I should be thanking you." Chen Ran patted Xiao Ling's head affectionately.
Xiaoling blushed and said coquettishly, "Don't move around like that, I'm almost not tall enough."
"In another two or three years, you'll have grown into a beautiful young woman," Chen Ran said with a smile.
The two were talking and laughing.
Li Xuan, on the other hand, stared blankly at Chen Ran and Xiao Ling, looking somewhat bewildered.
How did Chen Ran become her grandfather's grandson-in-law?
The plot twist was so fast!
After an incense stick had burned, the two said goodbye and left.
Wu Haoran then stopped Chen Ran and arranged a house for him.
"This house was built as a gift for Xiaoling. Please make do with it for now," he said apologetically.

"It's nothing," Chen Ran nodded.
"By the way, Xiao Ran, I'll have someone pick you up tomorrow for Xiao Ling's engagement ceremony," Wu Haoran suddenly said.
"Yes, I will go," Chen Ran replied.
"Oh, by the way, I have a friend in Nanxianling. If you run into him, remember to let me know." Wu Haoran said and then left.
Chen Ran watched Wu Haoran's retreating figure and nodded slightly.
This world is, after all, full of wonders.
night.
Chen Ran sat cross-legged on the "610" couch, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
Suddenly, a crisp knock sounded at the door.
"Who?" Chen Ran asked in confusion.
"Chen Ran, it's me." A soft and melodious female voice came from outside the door.
Chen Ran frowned, wondering what kind of trouble Wu Feifei was up to now.
He opened the door and saw Wu Feifei standing there.
Today, she is wearing a snow-white dress.
Her skin was as white as snow, and her figure was graceful and slender, radiating youthful beauty.
"What's up?" Chen Ran asked.
"I'd like to invite you to dinner to express my gratitude," Wu Feifei said gently, with confidence.
"Oh," Chen Ran replied casually, and prepared to close the door.
"boom!"
But at that moment, Wu Feifei suddenly slammed into the door.
"Ah!" she cried out in pain, her forehead instantly becoming red, swollen, and bleeding.
Chen Ran was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled.
Wu Feifei stomped her foot angrily and ran away.
"Is this woman stupid?" he muttered, then closed the door and began his cultivation.
The following day, the Wu family held a banquet.
The banquet was enormous, with hundreds of tables, all centered around Wu Haoran.
Wu Feifei was also on the invitation list.
As the protagonist of the day, she was surrounded by a throng of admirers.
A proud smile appeared on her lips as she basked in this honor.
She looked at Chen Ran with icy eyes.
Today, she will display her charm and conquer the man who dared to reject her.
"Hmph, just a country bumpkin, how dare he look down on me!" Wu Feifei sneered inwardly.
Soon, the banquet began.
"Xiaoling, come on, dance with the sisters." Wu Feifei called to Wu Ling.
"I don't know how..." Wu Ling muttered.
But the next moment, her eyes widened in surprise.
Because of Chen Ran, he actually pulled her forward.
“You…you…” She stared blankly at Chen Ran.
"I'll teach you," Chen Ran whispered.
