Chapter 139 Grandpa Jiang’s Birthday
Nan Qiao raised her chin slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of determination and longing, and said softly: "Well, I have made up my mind. I want to study biology."
She paused, her gaze seemingly piercing through everything before her, gazing into a distant place filled with infinite possibilities. She continued, "Do you know? There are still so many insurmountable diseases in the world, like cancer. I don't know how many lives have been taken and how many families have been torn apart."
"I've been following relevant scientific research progress and understand that in the future, there may be miraculous things like genetic modification fluids, as well as more effective anti-cancer drugs and various other medicines that can change human health."
In the future, she will definitely bring these things back from the other world, and then it will be more convenient for her to participate in the research.
Nan Qiao's face flushed with excitement, and she continued, "I think studying biology will allow me to step into the laboratory and truly delve into these things."
"Maybe I can be a part of the process that helps these amazing drugs develop. Even if it's just a small contribution, it would be worth it."
“I want to explore the unknown mysteries of biology, to unlock the genetic code, and to find ways to restore health to those suffering from illness.”
Wang Xiaoxuan couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard Nan Qiao's words, her eyes full of surprise and admiration: "Wow, Qiao Qiao, your idea is amazing!"
"I can imagine you busy in the lab in your white coat. It would be great if you could really develop those amazing drugs!"
Nan Qiao smiled softly and patted Wang Xiaoxuan on the shoulder. "I hope so. Our top priority right now is to master the professional knowledge, and then we'll move towards this goal step by step."
The two smiled at each other, and Wang Xiaoxuan nodded, her eyes full of longing and determination. "Okay, Qiao Qiao, don't worry. I will study hard and we will make progress together."
Two days passed by in a flash.
The sun was pouring down on the earth. Lin Yue had already parked the car at the door, ready to take Nan Qiao to Fumanyuan.
Inside the house, Nan Qiao stood in front of the mirror, raised her hand and waved it gently, using magic to make her hair grow.
I saw that the hair that was originally at ear level grew longer rapidly and soon returned to its previous waist-length appearance.
Then Nan Qiao changed into a long dress with an ancient style. The material seemed to be the finest silk, giving people a gentle feeling of being a daughter of gold.
After dressing up carefully, she held an exquisite box in her arms, in which lay the extremely precious thousand-year-old ginseng, and got on a car to Fumanyuan.
The car stopped steadily in front of Fumanyuan. Nan Qiao gently opened the door and got out of the car with light steps.
She looked up at Fumanyuan. The quaint building looked even more charming under the sunlight.
Nan Qiao adjusted her long skirt, put on a faint smile, and walked slowly towards Fumanyuan with elegant steps. Her appearance complemented this place full of ancient charm.
As soon as Nan Qiao stepped into the gate of Fumanyuan, a waiter came up to greet her respectfully and led her forward.
Under your feet is a winding pebbled road, spread out in an orderly manner, as if telling the story of time.
Soon, the waiter brought Nan Qiao to the hall. The hall was bustling with activity, with people standing around talking in low voices or sitting around leisurely sipping tea.
Looking up, I saw Grandpa Jiang sitting at the head of the table, with a genial smile on his face and an air of majesty that came from his lack of anger.
At this time, Pang Min was walking towards Grandpa Jiang with Lan Yuchen, holding a carefully prepared birthday gift in his hands.
The gift was placed in an exquisite gift box with a gold-rimmed edge and lifelike auspicious beast patterns carved on the surface, as if it was about to break through the wall at the next moment.
When you open the gift box, you will find a longevity god figurine carved from mutton-fat jade. The jade is warm and delicate, and emits a soft luster under the light.
The God of Longevity's expression is portrayed extremely realistically, with a sweet smile. The cane he holds in his hand and the longevity peach beside him are carved in great detail. It is obvious that they were made by a skilled craftsman and are of great value.
Pang Min and Lan Yuchen walked up to Grandpa Jiang, respectfully presented the gifts, and said, "Grandpa Jiang, may you be blessed with blessings as vast as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains. This is a small gift from us, and we hope you like it."
Grandpa Jiang smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, thank you for your thoughtfulness."
However, his gaze only glanced at the gift quickly without lingering for long.
He looked up at Pang Min with concern in his eyes and asked, "Why didn't your father come?"
Pang Min quickly bowed and responded, "Grandpa Jiang, my father is ill and feeling a little unwell. I was afraid that he would pass his illness on to you, so I didn't come. I hope you won't blame me."
Grandpa Jiang frowned slightly when he heard this, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Oh, you have to take good care of yourself when you are sick. Give him my regards."
Pang Min quickly agreed, with a proper smile on her face. She gently pulled Lan Yuchen over to her side, bowed slightly to Grandpa Jiang, and introduced him in a friendly tone, "Grandpa Jiang, this is Lan Yuchen, my boyfriend. I brought him here to celebrate your birthday today."
Upon seeing this, Lan Yuchen hurried forward, bowed respectfully to Grandpa Jiang, and greeted him in a clear voice: "Grandpa Jiang, I, Lan Yuchen, wish you a happy birthday, good health, and a long life."
Grandpa Jiang just nodded slightly, a polite smile on his lips, and replied lightly: "Well, hello."
The words were brief, revealing a sense of alienation.
After saying that, Grandpa Jiang turned his gaze away, as if he had no interest in talking to them anymore.
The smile on Pang Min's face suddenly froze, and his heart seemed to be blocked by something, full of loss.
She bit her lip and silently pulled Lan Yuchen aside, glancing at Grandpa Jiang from time to time, hoping for another chance to talk to him.
Seeing this, Nan Qiao walked into the hall holding the exquisite box.
Her ancient-style long skirt swayed gently in the wind, making her look like a fairy walking out of an ancient painting.
In an instant, it seemed as if the air in the entire hall stagnated for a moment, and everyone's eyes, as if attracted by a magnet, fell on Nan Qiao at the same time.
The crowd began to whisper, "Oh, this is Miss Nan Qiao? She is really fresh and refined, with an extraordinary temperament."
"Yes, seeing is believing. Look at this appearance, it is really extraordinary."
Immediately, everyone in the hall, whether familiar or unfamiliar with Nan Qiao, greeted her, "Hello, Miss Nan Qiao."
"Miss Nan Qiao, I didn't expect you to come too."
Lan Yuchen, who was standing aside, couldn't help but frown slightly, his heart full of doubts, thinking to himself: These people are all of high status, why are they all greeting Nan Qiao so warmly?
When Pang Min saw everyone greeting her warmly, and saw how they acted as if no one was around when she came in, she felt a fire rising in her heart.
Her expression became uglier and uglier. Damn it, she was pretending!
