Chapter 390 - : Luo’s Workshop’s Store Manager (2/2)

The middle-aged woman greeted him, “Come here, Mr. Xiao, please have a sit. I will pour you a glass of water.”

“That isn’t necessary.”

Xiao Luo refused directly, then turned to look at Tan Ningfu, “Where is your grandma?”

He just wanted to quickly accomplish what he had promised and leave. He didn’t want to be entangled with Tan Ningfu, let alone with his family.

“Mr. Xiao, I think you should take a drink and rest for now,” Tan Ningfu said.

“It’s okay, I still have other things to do,” Xiao Luo said.

“But… okay then, this way.”

Tan Ningfu was a little disappointed. She didn’t expect Xiao Luo to keep her a thousand miles away. She thought she and Xiao Luo could be considered friends. After all, the two flew the plane together and landed it safely.

Xiao Luo followed her to the innermost room, opened the door, and saw an old lady lying on the bed covered in a thick quilt. Her eyes were tightly shut, very peaceful in looking.

“My grandma passed out again. Before this, she’ll wake up in a while. But she’s kinda different this time. She has been in a coma for one day and one night. I’m worried about her,” Tan Ningfu said wistfully.

She has been in a coma for one day and one night?

Xiao Luo couldn’t help but glance at Tan Ningfu’s parents. Their elderly mother in the family had been in a coma for a day and a night straight, and they were still in the mood to play chess. How big their hearts must be?

The middle-aged woman walked over at this moment and said nonchalantly, “Ningfu, don’t worry about it, it is not once or twice that your grandma has fallen into a coma. She’s the same every time, isn’t it? It’ll be fine. She’ll wake up in no time, and even if she does not, she’s already so advanced in age, it’s just about time for her to go.”

“Mom, how could you say that? Grandma will wake up, she’ll live a hundred, no, a thousand years.”

Tan Ningfu responded while biting her scarlet lips. She was brought up by her grandma since she was a child. She loved her grandma more than her parents. When she thought that her grandma might be leaving her forever, tears immediately rolled in her eyes.

“You’re right, grandma can definitely live until a thousand.”

At this time, the young man who had just played chess with Tan Ningfu came over and echoed.

Grey short sleeves, neatly combed hair, fair and clean face, 1.8 meters in height; he looked just like a model and a rich kid from a wealthy family.

Tan Ningfu did not respond to him. She turned her head and looked at the old lady lying on the bed unconsciously with a heart burdened with disquietude.

Xiao Luo entered the room, sat down on the edge of the bed, and extended his hand to read the pulse of the old lady. Sometimes, Chinese doctors could tell sicknesses that Western doctors couldn’t.

“Ningfu, are you sure he’s up to it? Does he know how to take pulses at such a young age? Isn’t it that only old Chinese doctors excel in reading pulses?” the middle-aged woman expressed her doubts towards Xiao Luo’s ability.

Tan Ningfu picked up the cudgels and said, “Mom, how many times must I tell you, Mr. Xiao rescued an old man who fell unconscious on the plane. There is absolutely no problem with his ability.”

“Ningfu, society is a complicated place. I’m afraid that you might be cheated. What if he did it on purpose just to get a chance to approach you? You must always be vigilant towards the people around you,” The middle-aged woman whispered.

Tan Ningfu was too lazy to talk to her mother who kept on twisting things up with her words. She curled her lips bitterly.

“A-he-hem…”

The middle-aged man coughed a few times to remind his wife to be mindful of the situation. After all, Xiao Luo was right here with them at this moment to treat his mother. Even if she were to gossip about him, she still had to pick the right time for it.

The middle-aged woman turned aside from the topic of discussion. She glanced at the young man and smiled, “Ningfu, your father and I are very satisfied with Xiao Lee. What’s more, you two were classmates in high school. This is something predestined by the Heavens. Look at how well Xiao Lee is doing. He even got himself a Porsche. Now, he is a store manager of a company in Jiangcheng and has his own successful business. By the way, Xiao Lee, which company are you working for as a store manager in Jiangcheng City?”

The young man lifted his chest with pride, “It’s Luo’s Workshop in Jiangcheng, auntie.”

“Yes yes yes, Luo’s workshop. Look at this memory of mine, I forgot it immediately after you said it.”

The middle-aged woman clapped her own forehead, and then preached to Tan Ningfu, “Luo’s Workshop is at the top among large companies in Jiangcheng. Last year, a few pieces of news about the company made it to the headlines. The company has more than 50 billion dollars in total assets. The salary of a store manager in Luo’s Workshop is something that others couldn’t compare to. It just so happens that Xiao Lee likes you so much. He has already come to our house a few times now. It would be great if you two could make a couple.”
