Wu Zhiyuan was incredibly busy, and Chi Gui didn’t want to disturb him much, so after delivering some local specialties, she headed back.
As she passed by the entrance of the village, she stopped by to check on Granny Zhang at the old village chief’s house.
Granny Zhang’s sleep had greatly improved after taking the traditional medicine Chi Gui had given her, and her overall vitality seemed to have been boosted, it was just that her speech was noticeably weak.
Chi Gui observed her condition quietly, planning to ask Academician Wu from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Institute about it when she got back.
While contemplating Granny Zhang’s health, Chi Gui headed home. She had not taken many steps when someone suddenly blocked her path.
Chi Gui was startled and looked up to see Wang Shuai standing in front of her, his handsome face lit with a smile, "Good afternoon, Chi Gui!" frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Good afternoon," Chi Gui replied indifferently, then took a few steps to the side, ready to leave.
But Wang Shuai followed her, "I heard from Lu Lu that your granny has passed away. Are you living in that house by yourself now? Is there anything you need help with?"
"No, thank you," Chi Gui answered coldly.
Wang Shuai persisted, trying to catch up and find another topic to talk about, but after a couple of steps, suddenly another person appeared and bumped into him.
The person seemed tall and skinny, yet with that single bump, Wang Shuai found himself retreating several steps involuntarily.
"Sorry," said the person in a low voice, grabbing him, "Are you okay?"
"I’m fine," Wang Shuai hastily replied, eager to follow Chi Gui.
But with that delay, Chi Gui was already far away, and it was clearly inappropriate for him to chase after her now.
Wang Shuai could only walk back disappointedly.
On the roadside, the one who had bumped into Wang Shuai had caught up with Chi Gui and quietly asked, "Professor Chi, do you want me to make that person leave the village?"
Chi Gui shook her head.
After all, he was from Aunt Wang’s family and had done nothing too excessive, and she didn’t want to intervene.
Seeing this, the person nodded and then disappeared from sight again.
