Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Yuan Jianing’s Little Scheme

Yuan Jianing said in a somewhat embarrassed whisper, "Aren’t you supposed to be at Grandpa Zhong’s house for acupuncture at 7:30?"

Luo Qiao looked toward Yuan Jianing, "How do you know that?"

She felt that Grandpa Yuan wouldn’t have mentioned it at home, so she stared at Yuan Jianing. Unable to withstand the scrutiny, Yuan Jianing coughed lightly and said, "Well, I told you not to get angry.

Zhong Zhaowei told me secretly, so I’ll accompany you tonight. Don’t worry, I haven’t told anyone. He made me promise, and I’ll go confess to Grandpa myself later and assure you, I won’t tell a soul."

Seeing Yuan Jianing’s expression, Luo Qiao burst into laughter, "So, are you taking this opportunity to go on a date?"

Yuan Jianing hastily raised her middle finger, "Shush, do you want to scare someone to death?"

Then quickly glanced inside the house, patted her little heart, and whispered, "Don’t tell the family, okay?"

Luo Qiao laughed, "Alright, your guilty look makes you even more suspicious."

After the two entered the house, Luo Qiao smiled and announced, "I’m back, sorry to make everyone worry."

Old Master Yuan relaxed when he saw Luo Qiao return; even though she was skilled in martial arts, after all, she was still a girl.

He smiled and asked, "Did you see your big brother and second brother?"

Luo Qiao nodded, "Yeah, I did. My grandparents really had a tough time; they gave so much."

Approaching the phone, she asked, "Grandpa Yuan, what was that number you dialed just now?"

Old Master Yuan took out a small book from the drawer under the desk, flipped it open, and pointed to Luo Qiao, "This is it, I got it from your fourth brother."

Once the call was connected, a voice said from the other end, "Qiaoqiao, is it you?"

Luo Qiao was moved once again; her grandfather must have gone there himself to avoid troubling Uncle Sun to come and go.

"Grandpa, it’s me. I’m at Grandpa Yuan’s house now. Don’t worry, the ground is covered with a layer of frost. Please head back early and be careful on your way."

After hanging up the phone, she let out a long sigh and said to Old Master Yuan, "I’m sorry to have worried you. From now on, I’ll try to get home earlier."

Old Master Yuan looked at her and smiled, "Is that all it takes to move you?"

In her past life, other than asking for test scores after exams, her parents usually waited for her to call; eventually, she seemed too lazy to call and found it meaningless.

So now, feeling valued and cared for by her family truly warmed her heart.

Luo Qiao smiled softly, "Yes, I am moved. Feeling valued and loved is very nice."

Getting up, she said to Old Master Yuan, "Allow Sister Jianing to accompany me."

Old Master Yuan looked at his granddaughter and smiled faintly, "Okay, go ahead."

It seemed that the old ginger was still spicier; Grandpa Yuan probably had spotted Yuan Jianing’s little scheme long ago.

The two made their way to the Zhong Family, where they were already awaited. Zhong Zhaowei stood at the gate, "You’ve come, come inside quickly."

Luo Qiao glanced at Zhong Zhaowei, amused by their awkwardness.

Zhong Zhiqiang, upon seeing Luo Qiao enter, quickly stood up and with a smile said, "You’re here, come in and warm up."

Luo Qiao replied with a smile, "It’s fine, it’s not too cold. Let’s get ready and talk."

Zhang Caiqin had already prepared the alcohol and gauze. Luo Qiao took out her needle kit, then disinfected all the Silver Needles again, and laid them out before she went to wash her hands and come back.

This time, they couldn’t just sit around. They asked the Zhong Family to push Old Master Zhong into the house, help him onto the bed, and then asked, "Grandpa Zhong, how are you feeling today?"

Old Master Zhong said, "Better than ever. My knee felt warm all day, and the leg that had no sensation seems to have a bit of numb feeling now, but I don’t know if it’s just my imagination."

After examining him, Luo Qiao noticed there was still a small amount of fluid in his knee, which meant yesterday’s acupuncture had an effect, and the swelling wasn’t as bad as before.

Luo Qiao said, "I will write a prescription for Grandpa Zhong later to complement the acupuncture. Take it for a few days first, and then we’ll see how it works."

Then she swiftly began the acupuncture. Once the needles were in place, she used her Special Ability to comb through the meridians in Old Master Zhong’s lower leg, and indeed, he began to feel sensation in his calves.
