Chapter 416: Chapter 406 Difficult to Drink and Ineffective

"Mr. Qin, Miss Jiang," although Long Feilie was meeting Jiang Zhe for the first time, he already knew of her importance to Qin Jingchen due to this incident.

"How has Grandpa Long been feeling lately?" Qin Jingchen asked.

Long Feilie helplessly said, "The doctors recommended by Mr. Qin are all quite good, but Grandpa does have chronic conditions, so we haven’t decided which one to keep for the long term."

Meaning, none of the doctors were up to par.

Long Feiyan was already helping Long Zhan down the stairs from the upper floor.

Seeing Qin Jingchen, Long Zhan laughed and said, "Jingchen, what brings you here today, having so much free time?"

His voice was like a great bell, full of vitality, but his face looked somewhat haggard, showing that his minor ailments had indeed been troubling him recently.

"Grandpa Long has been unwell, and as a junior, it’s only natural to come and visit," said Qin Jingchen.

"Sit down, don’t stand on ceremony. Is this your little girlfriend?" Long Zhan asked.

"Yes, Grandpa Long. Her name is Jiang Zhe," replied Qin Jingchen.

Jiang Zhe greeted Long Zhan and then sat down with Qin Jingchen.

Long Zhan smiled and said, "What a coincidence that she’s also surnamed Jiang. I’ve recently gotten to know a young friend who is also named Jiang. She plays the zither quite well, which really helps to lift my spirits. Feiyan, did you say Fanyue will be coming by in a bit?"

"Yes, Grandpa. I just called Professor Zhou. They should arrive soon. Fanyue also mentioned she would bring her great-uncle and great-aunt to visit you, knowing you enjoy lively company and wanting to cheer you up," Long Feiyan replied.

"Good, good. Jingchen, Jiang Zhe, I’ll introduce you to them later."

Long Zhan, who was used to wielding swords and spears in his youth, had a cheerful disposition and loved lively atmospheres.

Jiang Zhe subtly lowered her gaze and remained silent.

Qin Jingchen nodded: "Alright."

Meanwhile, the butler was leading Zhou Yaming and the others in.

Jian Xiliang and Wen Xia had never imagined they would ever set foot in the Long residence.

Although they aspired in their careers, they had never imagined pursuing it in this fashion.

Jiang Fanyue was able to bring them along this time because Jian Xiliang had achieved something in the construction of Jincheng’s West Suburb, which had raised his profile, and Zhou Yaming, believing in the value of having more friends, had agreed to Jiang Fanyue’s suggestion to introduce them.

Secondly, Jiang Fanyue now displayed remarkable talent, making Zhou Yaming very optimistic about her future, so he did her a favor.

Thus, the group of four made their way into the Long residence.

Long Feiyan was also warm and hospitable, standing up with a smile to welcome them.

Zhou Yaming immediately spotted Qin Jingchen and Jiang Zhe seated on the sofa.

His dislike for Jiang Zhe caused his gaze to drift briefly, and he didn’t pay serious attention to the pair.

Jiang Fanyue softly reminded him, "That’s Mr. Qin."

Zhou Yaming was then taken aback, realizing the relationship between Jiang Zhe and Mr. Qin was genuine.

"Mr. Qin," Zhou Yaming greeted, "Grandpa Long, Mr. Long."

"Please, have a seat," Long Zhan invited.

"These are Fanyue’s great-uncle and great-aunt, who are like her parents. They’ve come to visit Fanyue and specifically wanted to pay their respects to you," Zhou Yaming introduced Jian Xiliang.

Long Zhan, who loved a lively atmosphere, smiled and said, "Since they are Fanyue’s relatives, you are most welcome."

Jian Xiliang and Wen Xia were pleasantly surprised and took seats cautiously at the side after glancing at Jiang Zhe.

The couple knew that this visit marked their formal entry into the circles of the capital.

And they never dreamed that it would be through the influence of Jiang Fanyue.

Long Feiyan brought over a bowl of medicine, whispering, "Grandpa, it’s time for your medicine."

"Take it away, take it away, I won’t drink it," he refused.

The bitter aroma of traditional Chinese medicine filled the air, emitting an unpleasant smell.

Old Long had spent a lifetime fighting on the battlefield and had never feared anything, but now in his old age, he had developed a child’s temperament, stubbornly refusing to take his medication.

Jiang Zhe sensed the smell of medicine, his nose twitched slightly, and Qin Jingchen turned his head to look at her.

Long Feiyan and Long Feilie took turns persuading, but the elder Long refused to drink.

Seeing that the medicine had cooled down, Long Feiyan had no choice but to have someone take the medicine away.

"The medicine prescribed by these people is not as effective as Doctor Tang’s. If it were vile but effective, that would be one thing, but it’s vile and ineffective. Isn’t this just making me suffer for nothing?" Long Zhan said.

Everyone just laughed it off, avoiding the subject.

Long Feiyan said with a smile, "Since Fanyue is here, why not have Fanyue play a piece to help Grandpa relax?"

Jiang Fanyue stood up and said, "Then I’ll give it a shot, despite my inadequacy."

Long Feilie looked at Jiang Fanyue with appreciation. This young girl was not only talented but also humble, which was indeed rare.

The Long family’s piano was placed right in the center of the living room. Due to the vastness of the room, the piano didn’t get in the way; in fact, it added to the decor.

Jiang Fanyue was obviously very skilled. She walked straight to the piano, lifted the cover, and began to play.

The elder Long originally looked somewhat haggard and had only gathered his spirits to come downstairs and greet the guests because of his passion.

Upon hearing the piano, he instantly felt as if celestial music was pouring into his ears, and his spirit lifted significantly.

Seeing this, Long Feiyan quickly had someone bring some easily digestible food to elder Long’s side.

While elder Long listened to the piano, he casually took the food.

By the time the piano music stopped, he had eaten quite a bit.

All the others also felt refreshed and, looking back at elder Long, who had eaten quite a bit, they couldn’t help but be amazed.

Jian Xiliang and Wen Xia were witnessing such a miracle for the first time, and they couldn’t help but feel deeply moved in their hearts: the calming effect of the spirit truly had such a significant impact.

They couldn’t help but look at Jiang Fanyue’s talent with renewed respect.

Long Feiyan was very pleased and clapped her hands, saying, "Well done. Fanyue, you have made great progress."

"Fanyue has always been very diligent, indeed very good," Zhou Yaming said with a smile. "Her pieces will soon be used by another one of my students for an album release. After a while, it will hit the market. By then, we’ll send some over to elder Long."

Long Feiyan chuckled, "We’ll definitely support when the time comes."

Encouraged, Jiang Fanyue laughed and said, "Then I’ll play another piece to help elder Long adjust his mood."

Nobody disagreed.

Jiang Fanyue then sat in front of the piano and continued to play.

The gazes of everyone on her were both warm and admiring.

Only Jiang Zhe, her gaze was cold throughout the whole process.

Qin Jingchen’s eyes were downcast; he did not look in Jiang Fanyue’s direction but slightly furrowed his brow upon hearing the piano.

Zhou Yaming noticed the expressions of the two and shook his head silently.

Qin Jingchen’s frown deepened.

Elder Long’s rosy complexion suddenly turned deathly pale, and then he suddenly vomited violently.

Long Feilie and Long Feiyan both were startled and looked back at him, to find the bowl meant for food now stained red with blood.

"Grandpa!"

"Elder Long!"

Everyone crowded around.

Jiang Fanyue also stopped playing the piano.

Long Feilie had the butler hurry to call for emergency services, while he anxiously supported elder Long.

Long Feiyan’s face was filled with concern.

Zhou Yaming suggested, "The ambulance will take a while to arrive. Let Fanyue continue playing; it can help stabilize elder Long’s emotions."
