Initial Selection of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Competition

Old Lady Blake had already investigated the Wiles Family when Ivy River’s identity was revealed.

She later learned that Ivy had a playmate, but she hadn’t found out the specifics.

She asked, "Does this girl know Ivy?"

Edwin Blake didn’t speak, but his silence was indicative of his attitude.

"Oh, Ivy’s friends are definitely not a problem. You little rascal, chasing after Ivy’s friend without telling me, making me worry for so long."

Old Lady Hodges was in a great mood. She waved at the kneeling Alexander Hodges, "Get up. Next time, let me know in advance, and I won’t be angry."

Alexander Hodges glared resentfully at Edwin Blake.

With a light hum, he still grabbed Edwin’s arm to slowly get up from the ground.

Edwin gave him a disdainful look without saying anything.

Old Lady Hodges said happily, "Come sit down. Kneeling must be tiring, right? Grandma didn’t punish you on purpose. It’s just you’re too unreliable, and Grandma had no choice. You understand, right?"

Alexander nodded without speaking.

"How far have you and the girl gotten? Have you held hands or kissed? Grandma’s telling you, it’s hard to find a partner these days. You should treat her well, or if she runs off, see how I’ll deal with you."

Old Lady Hodges continued her nagging, "When do you plan on being together? Remember to bring her home to meet Grandma. Don’t do it quietly, got it?"

Alexander nodded.

"Hey, why aren’t you talking!"

Alexander said with some grievance, "Dad just told me not to talk. He said if I spoke, he’d kill me."

Old Lady Hodges glared at Soren Hodges, "How can you talk to the kid like that!"

Soren said helplessly, "It won’t happen again. I’ll be careful with my words next time."

Alexander said pitifully, "You better promise, Dad. I was almost suffocating."

"As long as you don’t upset your grandma again, I promise not to hit you."

Alexander pursed his lips, "I never meant to upset Grandma. It’s just that Grandma tends to overthink, what can I do..."

"You little rascal!"

Soren pointed at Alexander’s nose, ready to scold him but was stopped by Old Lady Hodges, "Oh, he’s still young. Why do you always scold him? Alexander, come sit by Grandma. Let’s not bother with your dad."

"Grandma, do you want to ask about the girl? Don’t bother, hasn’t my brother already said it, nothing’s set in stone yet."

Alexander could guess what Grandma wanted to say and directly dispelled her thoughts.

Old Lady Hodges said irritably, "Ivy is a good kid. Any girl who can play with her can’t be bad. So you should treat her well. Work hard to win her over so that Grandma can stop worrying."

"We’ll see. What if someone better comes along."

Alexander thought of Madeline Woods and glared at Edwin Blake.

Seriously.

How could he bring that shrew in as an excuse?

Seeing this look, Edwin said slowly, "Cherish the one in front of you. Don’t just think about the one in front while longing for the one behind. Grandma said you should go after the girl wholeheartedly, so do it sincerely."

Old Lady Hodges laughed, "Edwin is still so obedient. Well said! When you have free time, chat with your brother more. Let him guide you."

Alexander knew Edwin was doing this on purpose.

He cheekily said, "Grandma, my brother can barely take care of himself. His girlfriend isn’t even talking to him. He happily tries every day but always gets turned away. If I follow his advice, I’ll be single forever."

"What?" Old Lady Hodges was surprised, "Edwin, you’ve woken up, huh? I was going to tell you to quickly get back together with Ivy. Missing a good girl would be a loss. But it seems you’ve already made your move!"

"No, Grandma Hodges. Ivy isn’t a doctor? I’ve been getting medical check-ups from her. Because of my long-term late nights and social engagements, my stomach isn’t too good. I asked her for medicine, and Alexander saw that."

Edwin explained briefly.

But his eyes were cold, staring at Alexander, as if saying: If you dare say anything unnecessary, you’ll pay the price.

Old Lady Hodges was puzzled, "Really? I thought you had a revelation."

Alexander pouted, "Yes, Grandma."

"But Edwin, Grandma tells you, Grandma Hodges is right. It’s time to consider getting Ivy back. The kids are growing up..."

Old Lady Blake was still nagging.

Edwin’s phone rang.

He glanced at it and answered, putting it on speaker.

Harry Ross’s voice came through, "President, are you done? We need to go to the hospital. Madam has notified the time."

"Alright, I’ll head there directly. Send me the schedule."

Edwin said and then hung up the phone.

Old Lady Blake laughed, "Is Ivy looking for you?"

"Yes, she’s going to give me some acupuncture, said my spleen and stomach are a bit weak."

"Good, go quickly, don’t upset her, understand?" Old Lady Blake instructed.

Edwin nodded, helplessly, "Grandma...as long as Ivy doesn’t mess with me, who do you think is your real grandchild..."

"Aren’t I reminding you? I’m telling you again, as long as I’m alive, no woman other than Ivy will step through the Blake Family door."

Edwin walked out quickly, "Okay, okay, I get it. Grandma Hodges, I’m leaving now. I’ll be sure to speak nicely to Ivy."

"Alright, go on. Alexander, quickly follow. Ask your sister-in-law what the little girl likes. Then cater to that."

Old Lady Hodges said cheerfully.

Alexander was looking for an excuse to leave. He immediately got up and ran out.

"I’m leaving, Grandma, Old Lady Blake, see you! I’ll come back in a few days to see you! Bye, Dad!"

Alexander hurried after Edwin and started complaining right away.

"Brother! Why did you tell Grandma that! You’ve made a big trouble for me. Just thinking about that tomboy gives me a headache!"

Edwin said coldly, "If I didn’t say that, do you think Grandma would let you off?"

"So, you did it for my sake?"

Edwin shook his head, "No, mostly I did it for myself. I’m afraid you’ll drag me into it, so I had to say it."

Alexander: "..."

Indeed, a businessman, only out for profit!

"But you didn’t have to bring up Madeline Woods. I’ve only met her once. You could’ve picked anyone else instead of that tomboy."

Alexander complained bitterly.

"Madeline Woods is Ivy’s friend." Edwin didn’t waste words.

Alexander’s eyes darkened, "Yes, she’s my sister-in-law’s friend. Grandma might torture me every day afterward. I don’t even have her contact information. How do I fool Grandma?"

"Fine, I’ll get you the contact information."

"It’s not about the contact information. You, find a suitable opportunity to tell Grandma clearly that I don’t like Madeline Woods!"

Edwin ignored him, starting the car and coldly throwing out a sentence.

"You do like her. Now I’m going to get my treatment. I’ll give you the contact information later."

Alexander looked at the car driving away, gritting his teeth, "Edwin Blake! Sooner or later, sister-in-law will deal with you!"
