You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

As she spoke, Bai Yuning gave Jiang Che a meaningful look.

Jiang Che, hands in his pockets, retorted irritably, "Why aren't you at home resting and sleeping in instead of getting some time off? What are you doing here causing trouble?"

"Uncle Liu will bring the car over soon, you should go back and rest."

On the surface, Jiang Che's tone was very unpleasant, as if he was deliberately picking a fight, but in reality, he meant that Bai Yuning could get some rest.

After all, they are siblings by blood, and Jiang Che knows how difficult it is for his cousin, who is a doctor, to take a vacation.

"Hey Jiang Che, you're really dishonest. How could you discard someone after they've served their purpose?"

"Qinghe was in the hospital for a week, and I was running around taking care of everything. Now that she's been discharged, you're turning your back on me?"

Bai Yuning pushed open the car door, stepped out in her high heels, and casually patted Jiang Che on the shoulder.

The siblings were subtly responding to each other with jokes, while Su Qinghe remained oblivious, assuming they had a fight.

So he quickly grabbed Bai Yuning's arm and spoke up for Jiang Che: "Sister Yuning, don't mind him. He's just stubborn. He was actually saying yesterday that he wanted to find some time to thank you properly."

Bai Yuning couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at her future sister-in-law's adorable, anxious expression.

"Alright, alright, I'll let it go for your sake."

Then she looked at Jiang Che and said, "Stop being so wishy-washy. Come on, I'll take you out for a nice meal to get rid of the bad luck from the hospital."

Before Jiang Che could even speak, Su Qinghe, fearing he might disagree, tugged at his sleeve, tilted her head up to look at him with hopeful eyes.

"Ah Che, Sister Yu Ning went out of her way to get here, let's go have a meal together~"

She desperately wanted to integrate into Jiang Che's social circle. Bai Yuning was the first person in the Jiang family to accept her, so she had to seize every opportunity to get closer to him so that Jiang Che would never be able to leave her.

Jiang Che hadn't planned to refuse any longer. He patted Su Qinghe's head helplessly, "Okay, what do you want to eat? It's on me."

Bai Yuning crossed her arms and laughed smugly: "No need for you to invite me, I'm already ready, get in the car."

At this moment, Uncle Liu also parked his car on the side of the road and was about to get out to greet his young master when he saw Jiang Che walking towards him.

So Uncle Liu rolled down the car window first, and Jiang Che happened to walk to the window at that moment. "Uncle Liu, you take them home first. I'll take Qinghe and my sister out for dinner. They can take a taxi home later."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Liu glanced at Bai Yuning not far away, then nodded respectfully: "Yes, young master, please take care, Miss Su and Miss Su."

After watching Uncle Liu's Rolls-Royce leave, Jiang Che walked back to the two women and then took Su Qinghe's hand to sit in the back of the Audi A8.

Bai Yuning got into the driver's seat, and the car started quickly, heading smoothly and fast towards the city center.

"Qinghe, how are your eyes feeling now? Do you see double if you stare at me?"

During the journey, Bai Yuning broke the silence by looking at Su Qinghe through the rearview mirror and asking with concern.

Upon hearing this, Su Qinghe, who was busy being affectionate with Jiang Che, quickly moved her body and tried to get closer to the rearview mirror hanging in the front row.

She stared at Bai Yuning's face for a long time, then looked at the roadside trees rushing past the window, and honestly shook her head, "No double image."

"Yu Ning, you look so beautiful today, even more so than when you wear your white coat."

"That's right. If I don't dress up, when your Jiang Che takes me out, people will think he's brought a bodyguard." Bai Yuning laughed.

The two best friends started chatting away, one sentence after another. Jiang Che, a grown man, couldn't really get a word in edgewise, so he could only lean back in his chair and listen to their conversation.

As he listened, Jiang Che's gaze involuntarily lingered on Su Qinghe's profile.

Seeing her covering her mouth and giggling uncontrollably, he also smiled, but his smile was one of relief.

It's obvious that Su Qinghe is in much better condition now than when he first took her in.

At that time, Su Qinghe could barely speak properly, and she was weak and timid. She could barely exchange a few words with him, let alone with a stranger.

Now, she can not only chat with Bai Yuning without any problems, but also shows no sign of being awkward in her behavior.

At this moment, Jiang Che felt that all his hard work during this period had been worthwhile.

Jiang Che, who had just come to his senses, overheard the two discussing where to eat later. Seeing that he could finally join the conversation, he quickly asked:

"Sis, where are you planning to take us to eat? I'm telling you now, Qinghe is being discharged from the hospital today, so I'm not going to eat at a bad place."

Bai Yuning turned on her turn signal and drove the car onto the main road leading to the city center. "Don't worry, I booked a table at Yunqi Pavilion. You know that Yunqi Pavilion makes the most authentic medicinal cuisine. It's perfect for Qinghe, who has just recovered from a serious illness, so let's give her some nourishing food."

Yunqi Pavilion.

Su Qinghe was familiar with this name. Before the Su family fell from power, she had heard her father mention it. It was the most famous Chinese winery in Lincheng, and it used a membership reservation system.

Back then, my father had to ask many people for favors to get into the place twice in order to negotiate a big business deal. After he came back, he kept complaining about how high the prices were and how difficult it was to book a table.

Su Qinghe was now very clear about the distance between herself and that place, and a sense of inferiority that had not appeared for a long time surged into her heart again.

"Yunqi Pavilion must be very expensive, right?" Su Qinghe asked softly, her head lowered slightly, her tone revealing her inferiority and disappointment. "Sister Yu Ning, we can just find somewhere to eat, there's no need to spend so much..."

Bai Yuning glanced at Su Qinghe in the rearview mirror, keenly noticing her unease, and immediately reassured her casually, "What are you thinking about? Why are you being so polite with me?"

"Jiang Che has taken plenty of good stuff from me before, and he's shameless enough not to feel embarrassed, so you have even less reason to feel embarrassed."

"Besides, you'll be part of the Jiang family sooner or later. When the family has a meal together, why talk about spending money?"
