Edison Qin received her promise and felt relieved. He smiled and said, "Since you say so, then I can rest easy. I will prepare the contract tomorrow, and all you'll need to do is sign it."
Ja Jiang nodded in response.
After discussing the compensation, Edison Qin personally escorted her to the door and watched her drive away.
As he watched her car disappear into the distance, Edison Qin turned back into the house and made a phone call to Andrew Li.
"How is Grandpa Qin doing?"
As soon as the call connected, Andrew Li's voice came through, accompanied by the sound of flowing water.
Edison Qin smiled and replied, "He's already awake. Dr. Jiang indeed has some skills."
Then, he remembered the peculiar atmosphere between Andrew Li and Ja Jiang when they were together and curiously asked, "Brother Andrew, do you know Dr. Jiang... from before? I have a feeling that something's not quite right between you two, and I haven't seen you act this way with other women."
Edison Qin initially thought that Andrew Li genuinely believed that ja Jiang was being deceitful. However, when he saw Andrew Li step in to help and even request an apology from Amelia Qin for ja Jiang , he became puzzled. He had a vague feeling that these two individuals might have known each other before, but the exact nature of their relationship eluded him.
Andrew Li answered Edison Qin 's call, primarily out of concern for Grandpa Qin's health. When Edison Qin asked about this matter, Andrew Li's tone became somewhat stern, "I don't know her. If we had known each other before, I would have asked her to treat Grandpa Qin a long time ago."
With that, the call was abruptly disconnected before Edison Qin could react.
After hanging up, Edison Qin found it increasingly strange. Andrew Li's tone just now, it sounded so unyielding. Did they really not know each other?
...
When Ja Jiang returned home, it was already late at night.
Ava Xi was with the two kids, playing with Lego in the living room.
Upon seeing Ja Jiang return, the three of them put down their Legos and greeted her.
"Mommy!"
The two kids affectionately rushed into her arms, expressing concern, "Why are you back so late? We're already sleepy."
They yawned with their eyes half-closed.
Ja Jiang smiled and gently patted their heads, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."
Then, she raised her gaze and wanted to thank Ava Xi.
Ava Xi understood her intention and quickly waved her hand, "Don't be polite. These two are like my godsons! But you, coming back so late, have you had dinner?"
Ja Jiang shook her head, "I've been busy and haven't had a chance to eat."
She had been busy treating Grandpa Qin and discussing the supply of medicinal herbs with Edison Qin, so she hadn't noticed her hunger.
Ava Xi gave her a helpless look, "I knew you'd get like this when you're busy. We saved some dinner for you. Go eat."
The two kids also urged her to eat.
Ja Jiang felt warm inside as she was pushed to the dining table by the two children. She quickly had a simple meal.
Ava Xi and the kids sat with her.
Seeing that she had almost finished eating, Ava Xi asked with concern, "You came back so late today. Is the patient's condition very serious? How is it progressing?"
Ja Jiang smiled and nodded, "The patient's condition is indeed quite serious, but I believe I can cure him."
Not only that, she was confident that she could successfully resolve the issue of medicinal herb supply for the research institute.
Thinking about this, Ja Jiang felt in high spirits.
Ava Xi was very confident, "If you say you have a chance, then you will definitely cure him. I believe in you!"
