Huo Mian had a strong feeling that whoever gave her the calabash was from her family or someone who loved her very much.
Did that mean that she was going to meet this person one day?
At this thought, Huo Mian became extremely excited. She touched the calabash again and again but didn’t want to put it down. Therefore, she decided to wear it around her neck…
Calabashes helped to avoid evil and gain wealth. Moreover, it was rumored that good jade would protect its owner and became one with them after a while.
Huo Mian decided from that moment on, she was going to wear this necklace until she met that person.
“Honey…? It’s still dark outside, why don’t you sleep for a little longer?” Qin Chu woke up in a daze.
He reached out to hug Huo Mian; who knew that Mr. Qin was so clingy in the morning?
“I couldn’t sleep…”
“Are you still thinking about the Calabash?” Qin Chu moved up to her and kissed Huo Mian on the cheek.
“Honey, who do you think gave it to me? It’s such an expensive present… The pair cost 720 million and this person gave one to me, meaning that I gained an extra 360 million yuan all of a sudden… It’s scary.”
“The lottery is nothing compared to the money you came across, Honey…” Qin Chu joked.
Huo Mian smiled as she rested her head on Qin Chu’s chest…
Huo Mian had been in a good mood ever since she received the present. Not because of how much it cost; rather, she had a feeling that this person was somehow related to her by blood…
Huo Mian wondered countless times about who that person was – could it be her sister or brother?
When she finally met that weird girl, Huo Mian finally came to the realization that her genius was nothing in comparison… That girl was the perfect definition of ‘gene mutation’.
Huo Mian cuddled with Qin Chu and they didn’t climb out of bed until seven…
After a simple breakfast, they both drove to work.
It was January 4th of the lunar calendar. There weren’t a lot of patients at South Side and most of the doctors were still on vacation.
After organizing documents for an hour, Huo Mian looked at the patient list from her computer.
There were zero appointments lined up in the neurology department… She had nothing to do.
Just then, her assistant knocked on the door. “Chief, someone’s looking for you.”
“Let them in.” Huo Mian nodded.
Then, she saw Xie Juan walk in with a cardboard box in her hand. Her clothes were obviously new.
“Mrs. Xie, why are you here?” Huo Mian immediately got up and poured Xie Juan a cup of hot water.
“Dr. Huo, I made these sausages from pork that I bought from the countryside. They’re homemade and really good, so I made you a box.”
“Thank you so much, Mrs. Xie… but, I can’t eat that much, just give me one or two links.”
“It’s easy to store. If you can’t finish it, just put it in the fridge… It’s really good, Shuai Shuai and I both love it. I made a box for Ni Yang, and he said they’re good too.” Xie Juan seemed to be in a great mood.
“Thank you.” Huo Mian carefully took the box and put it on the floor of her office.
In the past, she used to think the person who abandoned Ni Yang must be a cruel and ruthless woman.
Moreover, when she first met Xie Juan, the latter was so hard to approach.
Later, after understanding what she had been through and her past hardships, Huo Mian decided to help her.
That’s when she realized that Xie Juan was a good woman who had had an extremely hard life.
She remembered everything Huo Mian had done for her and repaid the latter through her own methods.
She made Huo Mian a hat and scarf, and she often came by with free-range eggs and local specialty foods.
Today, she came with home-made sausages. Although it wasn’t anything expensive, it was the thought that mattered.
“Mrs. Xie… how are things going between you and Ni Yang?”
Huo Mian had been busy recently, and so had Ni Yang. It was the end of the year, so he traveled all over the country, attending one New Year’s gala after the other.
It had been more than twenty days since Huo Mian last saw him. Yingzi usually had Ni Yang’s phone, so she never got the chance to call and ask him.
Since Xie Juan mentioned Ni Yang, Huo Mian decided to ask about them…
