132 A Randomly Picked Couple
“Grandma, this is too much. How am I qualified to talk about marriage with Mystical Miao?”
Zhong Nian’s face was filled with awkwardness. A goddess like Mystical Miao wasn’t someone he was worthy of.
The Zhong family had two descendants, Zhong Heng and his brother, Zhong Lu. Zhong Lu had two children, and the eldest son, Zhong Wei, was now training in the military with his father.
Zhong Wei’s level of excellence was comparable to Tong Pei’s group whereas Zhong Nian was somewhat mediocre compared to Zhong Wei.
Zhong Nian’s studies were good, but his competition results and decision-making ability at home were not good enough. Therefore, the old lady thought that there was no need to arrange a marriage for him to marry into a wealthy family. She could find him an outstanding lady who could help him in all aspects.
As for Guo Miao, although she was still a high school student, she was excellent in both her medical skills and studies. It was said that she had even participated in various competitions.
Apart from her poor family background, Old Madam Song Zhen liked her very much.
However, this made Guo Miao feel a little awkward.
In her previous life, she didn’t have a marriage contract. The Guo family despised her and wanted to hide her, let alone open her to these marriages.
“That’s right, Grandma. Don’t set me up so early. I don’t even know what are my plans for the future. Besides, what if Zhong Nian meets someone he likes in the future?” Guo Miao laughed. Her main goal in this life was to give her father and Xuxu a better life. As for love and marriage, these were things that she could give up.
Haicheng’s rich and powerful circle was complicated, and she didn’t want to get involved.
“Grandma, I also think that Zhong Nian and Guo Miao are still young. Besides, Mystical Miao and Zhong Nian don’t have much of a relationship right now. There’s no need for them to settle down so early.” Tong Tong, who had been standing silently beside Zhong Nian, opened his mouth.
Tong Tong knew that although Guo Miao’s family wasn’t that aristocratic, she herself was rarer than ten wealthy families.
Hearing that Guo Miao and Tong Tong were on his side, Zhong Nian also spoke up, “That’s right, Grandma. We’re free to love now. There’s no need to set an engagement for me. I’ll definitely find you a beautiful and gentle granddaughter-in-law in the future.”
Song Zhen looked at her grandson and Guo Miao, who were both insistent on not accepting the engagement, and shook her head without saying anything more. “I didn’t think it through. Just assume that I’m muddle-headed. Don’t mention this again in the future.”
“Grandma, you don’t have to worry. Maybe we’ll be fated to meet in the future,” Guo Miao comforted her.
As they were talking, Tong Xin walked in with a plate of snacks while massaging her waist. “This is the rice cake I made. Mystical Miao, try it.”
Tong Xin wasn’t that old, so she also called Guo Miao ‘Mystical Miao’ like Zhong Nian and Tong Tong did.
Guo Miao picked up the cake and took a small bite. The cake was sweet and smooth in the mouth. Although it was the simplest rice cake, the style was very exquisite. It was in the shape of a flower and decorated with sweet osmanthus.
“This is delicious.” Guo Miao gave her a thumbs-up.
Grandma Song sighed. “My eldest granddaughter-in-law is good at everything, but her health isn’t the greatest now. She’s now with Zhong Wei in the military, but she’s not pregnant even after so many years. She’s also ill.”
Grandma Song sighed. She was old and wanted to see her great-grandson the most.
Tong Xin smiled bitterly. “I’m a premature baby, so I was born with poor health. The doctor also said that my spleen is weak and my qi and blood are deficient. Even if I give birth to a child, the child may not be healthy.”
This matter might be the bane of Tong Xin’s life. She and Zhong Wei were childhood sweethearts. Although Zhong Wei knew that she was in poor health, he still persuaded his family to let the two of them get engaged in high school.
It was just that every time she saw Zhong Wei staring at the children in the courtyard in a daze, Tong Xin would feel her heart ache. The two of them might never have a child of their own in this life.
Old Madam Song looked at Tong Xin and sighed. She really doted on this sweet child.
Guo Miao glanced at Tong Xin. Her lips and cheeks were a little pale, and her hands were always on her waist. Guo Miao was almost 90% sure that she should be lacking kidney qi.
“I should have a solution, but I don’t know if you’re willing to let me try, Xin Xin.”
When Tong Xin heard this, she opened her mouth in surprise. “Can I still be treated?”
Guo Miao nodded. “If you don’t mind, let me check your pulse.”
