Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

"What, don't you want to marry into the family?"

The old lady's eyes sharpened as she said, "Or do you think the Jiang family can't give you what you want, or... do you simply look down on the Jiang family?"

"I never considered marrying into the family."

Chu Nan answered truthfully, "I never thought about getting anything from the Jiang family, nor did I look down on the Jiang family."

"Didn't you think about it? Did you feel pressured by me to buy it? Were you uncomfortable, so you rebelled?"

Faced with the old lady's question, Chu Nan chose to remain silent.

"Looks like I guessed right. You think I'm using Yingxue's shares to threaten you, and you think this old lady is unreasonable and heartless."

The old lady's fingers, which had been twirling the prayer beads, began to move again, one after another, slowly and steadily.

"You may be young and think love is everything, but as a young person who has already entered the workforce, I think you should let go of such naive ideas."

"I chose to let you marry into my family for only two reasons: first, you're a very honest person; second, Yingxue likes you."

"So you either become one of hers, or you don't become an obstacle to her, it's that simple."

Chu Nan said calmly, "Grandma, I never intended to be an obstacle for anyone."

"Then make your choice."

The living room was so quiet that only the ticking of the wall clock could be heard.

Jiang Yingxue stood between the two.

She looked at Chu Nan, then at the old lady, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.

Just then, Chu Nan's phone rang.

He glanced down at the caller ID—Xu Yi.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call."

Chu Nan answered the phone after saying hello.

"Xiao Chu."

Xu Yi's voice was urgent, "Is Xia Xia with you?"

"Sister Tang? She's not here."

"She didn't come to the company this morning, and we couldn't reach her by phone. She also missed the new product meeting this morning."

Xu Yi said anxiously, "I've already had someone check the company's surveillance footage. She hasn't appeared since leaving the office last night. Could you go to her house and check?"

"it is good."

Chu Nan hung up the phone, looked up at the old lady and Jiang Yingxue, and put his phone back in his pocket. "Grandma, could we put this matter aside for now? I have something urgent to attend to—"

"No, I said... this matter must be resolved today."

Faced with the domineering old woman, Chu Nan couldn't help but frown.

Jiang Yingxue realized that Chu Nan was about to lose his temper, so she quickly got up and said, "I'll go take a look."

With her departure, only Chu Nan and the old lady remained in the living room.

Chu Nan sat in a wheelchair, while the old lady twirled her prayer beads, one after another.

Chu Nan didn't speak, and neither did the old lady.

However, he could sense that the old lady's gaze was always on him.

"You must be wondering why I wouldn't force you to marry into the family if it were just because Yingxue likes you, right?" the old lady said first.

"A junior doctor at a community clinic, a graduate of Peking University Medical School with excellent grades, was reassigned to Yaotai Community because he assaulted his mentor."

"His lineage is unknown, but his medical skills far surpass those of his peers, and even exceed those of most experts who have practiced medicine for decades."

"You also know a lost ancient acupuncture technique, and... your skills are far superior to those of ordinary people."

Chu Nan frowned slightly.

"I've lived this long and seen more people than you've eaten meals. Someone like you won't stay stuck in a community clinic forever."

"So I have to get ahead of everyone else and bring you into the Jiang family. That's the third reason I'm forcing you to marry into the family."

"Without these advantages, you wouldn't even have the chance to talk to me here, let alone be forced by me."

She paused, her fingers still fiddling with the prayer beads. "I'm not asking you to marry her. I'm giving you a choice. Being a son-in-law of the Jiang family will save you a lot of trouble and allow Yingxue to truly establish herself in the Jiang family."

"But I've already made it clear that I don't want to, have I?"

That's why I threatened to take back all the shares held by Yingxue.

The old lady's tone remained unchanged. "Of course, if we take it seriously, it can't be called a threat."

"As I said, there is no need for an heir who cannot create value for the Jiang family to continue holding shares."

"Over the years, I've kept these shares for her, not because I favor her, but because I've been waiting for the right opportunity."

"Now that she has found you, whether she can keep what she deserves depends on you."

Isn't this still a threat at the end of the day?

Whenever I have concerns about Sister Xue, I inevitably find myself in a dilemma.

Just as Chu Nan was internally complaining, Jiang Yingxue hurriedly walked in.

"President Xia wasn't home, and there were no signs of a struggle. I was about to leave when I noticed my phone ringing on the floor, but the other end hung up as soon as I answered it."

As she spoke, she handed her phone to Chu Nan.

Chu Nan recognized it at a glance; it was Xia Wantang's phone.

Before he could even check who was calling, his phone rang again.

Chu Nan pressed the answer button. "Feed?"

"This time, the person who answered the phone didn't make a mistake."

A distorted voice came through the receiver, "No one answered before, and when they did, it was a woman. I thought you didn't care whether this CEO Xia lived or died."

Chu Nan's fingers tightened around his phone. "Who are you?"

The other person chuckled. "Who I am isn't important. What's important is that if you had answered the phone a few minutes later, this woman surnamed Xia might have been dead."

"If you want Xia Wantang to live, come to the old flour mill in the southern suburbs, alone."

"If I find out you brought other people with you, especially the police, I can't guarantee that this beautiful CEO Xia won't be able to leave unscathed."

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone immediately.

Jiang Yingxue's expression changed drastically. "She's... been kidnapped?!"

Chu Nan said with a gloomy expression, "It's very likely, and they're obviously after me."

As he spoke, he stood up from his wheelchair.

Jiang Yingxue was visibly taken aback upon seeing this, but didn't pay much attention, instead asking, "Are you really planning to go alone?"

Chu Nan replied, "It might be more convenient for me to go and handle it alone."

"You should call the police. After all, you have no idea who the other person is, and it's in a place like the southern suburbs."

The southern suburbs of Beihai are a notorious no-man's-land, with extremely fierce local customs.

Even Zhao Zhenhai, the Dragon King of the North Sea, couldn't make a sound when he smashed it.

The only time they suffered a loss was at the hands of the people from Nanxiang.

Although we don't know who the other party is, someone who can kidnap people and take them to such a dangerous place as the southern suburbs is obviously not a simple character.

Chu Nan was unaware of these things, or rather, it didn't matter to him whether he knew them or not.

His thinking was simple: since he had caused the trouble himself, he should solve it himself!

"Since the other party dares to say such things, it means they are not afraid of calling the police. Calling the police may bring unnecessary danger to Sister Tang."

Chu Nan took a deep breath. "Sister Xue, wait a moment. I'm going to rescue Sister Tang. I'll be right back."

Jiang Yingxue still looked worried, but before she could speak, the old lady used her cane to stop Chu Nan from leaving.

"Little guy, you seem to be underestimating me a bit..."
