Chapter 168 The Love Rival Returns to the Country

They were childhood friends.

Jiang An was still pondering this matter, seemingly lost in thought, and didn’t notice she was still chopping vegetables. Distracted, the knife fell onto her finger, and Jiang An reflexively let out a cry. Nearby, busy Aunt Liu hurried over, seeing Jiang An’s finger bleeding uncontrollably, she said with heartache, "Oh, Madam, you’re bleeding; I’ll get the first aid kit."

The two people still in the living room heard the noise from the kitchen and peeked over, seeing Aunt Liu rushing out of the kitchen anxiously asking.

"Madam just cut her hand while chopping vegetables," Aunt Liu informed them.

The Old Madam heard this and couldn’t help but show a worried expression, attempting to rise from the sofa, but was stopped by Song Xin next to her, "Grandma, don’t move; I’ll wrap up Jiang An’s wound."

Jiang An was still in the kitchen, pressing her finger that kept bleeding out, not expecting to be so clumsy, indeed, the relationship between the two was making her suspicious.

"Jiang An, come over here and sit down; I’ll wrap it up for you." Song Xin had already taken the first aid kit from Aunt Liu and called Jiang An out, and only then did Jiang An come to her senses, covering her finger as she walked out.

The cut wasn’t too deep, but there was quite a bit of blood. Song Xin first helped the girl to stop the bleeding, then wrapped a few rounds of gauze, watching Jiang An nervously in front of her, as if she herself would devour her.

"You should be more careful in the future; a doctor’s hands are precious," Song Xin said in a tone that was neither cold nor warm, as she finished bandaging Jiang An’s wound.

Listening to her, Jiang An’s face flushed with embarrassment, thinking to herself how embarrassed she was today, a grown-up who could be so distracted as to injure herself while cutting vegetables.

"Alright, just try to keep it dry from now on." Song Xin turned back to put away the first aid kit, seeing Aunt Liu’s worried look, she reassured, "Aunt Liu, let me help you."

After that, the two of them went towards the kitchen together. Jiang An, with her bandaged hand, naturally couldn’t enter the kitchen, so she looked down at her injured thumb; fortunately, it was her left thumb, and she instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning her head intending to chat with Grandma in the living room, she found the Old Madam had already fallen asleep on the sofa. Jiang An walked into the room, fetched a blanket for the elderly woman, and covered her, incidentally pulling out an album that was still in her embrace.

With nothing else to do, Jiang An sat beside and began flipping through the album herself, which contained many old photos of Gao Chuan, as well as family portraits of the Gao Family. Flipping through, she could roughly figure out who everyone was.

Soon, she saw two pictures of Gao Chuan who had grown up; it seemed to be from when he had graduated from university. The Old Madam must have attended Dr. Gao’s graduation ceremony at the time.

However, there were three people in the photo, besides Dr. Gao and Grandma, Song Xin was also present.

Both were dressed in master’s gowns, standing by Grandma’s sides, with a university podium in the background.

Jiang An was slightly startled by this photo; while a group photo couldn’t mean anything definitive, she couldn’t help but let her thoughts run wild.

After all, the two people in the photo looked very much like a couple.

Jiang An had originally planned to stay with the elderly throughout the evening, but after lunch, she received a call from Ji Wanwan, saying they hadn’t seen each other in a long time and inviting her out to hang out.

The girl greeted the two before leaving; with Song Xin there, she felt strangely uncomfortable all over.

Jiang An took a taxi in a hurry to meet Wanwan at the designated place, a stylish and elegant cafe favored by many young wealthy ladies for their afternoon tea sessions.

Upon arriving, Jiang An announced Wanwan’s reservation and followed the waiter upstairs, where she saw Wanwan sitting in a chair, sipping coffee. Excited to see Jiang An finally arriving, Wanwan waved enthusiastically from afar.

Jiang An hurried over and sat down across from Wanwan, noticing she wasn’t wearing sunglasses or a hat this time. Concerned, she asked, "Aren’t you worried about being secretly photographed like this?"

Wanwan, who was already passing the menu to Jiang An, replied dismissively, "It’s fine, the paparazzi can’t get in here, and even if they do, I’m not worried about being photographed."

"I’m planning to take a break after finishing the current movie I’m working on," Wanwan stated while stirring her coffee, letting the rich aroma fill the air.

The statement caught Jiang An by surprise, and she nearly exclaimed aloud, "Why?"

Wanwan had preemptively ordered the cafe’s signature salad for Jiang An, and she expected such a reaction as her agent had responded similarly when she had mentioned her plans earlier.

"I’ve had a successful career so far, it’s about time I focus on family matters." Wanwan declared, with a glint in her eyes shimmering with maternal instinct, "Maybe have a child for fun."

Understanding Wanwan’s gentle expression, Jiang An chuckled, "Your brother must be thrilled to hear this."

"It’s because you and Gao Chuan haven’t made any move, so Gao Yu and I must step up to keep Shen Mei’s mouth shut," Wanwan stated with a hint of frustration.

Both Wanwan and Gao Yu were in their thirties, and it was indeed time to consider having children.

Jiang An smiled and thought to herself that this was just an excuse Wanwan created to justify her desire to have kids.

The waiter soon brought over the salad and fruit tea Wanwan ordered for Jiang An. As Wanwan was about to remind herself why she had called Jiang An out today, she tapped Jiang An’s forehead with a maternal smile and said, "Speaking of which, did you know that your love rival has returned to the country?"

Caught off guard, Jiang An looked up bewildered, not immediately grasping what Wanwan was implying.

Seeing Jiang An’s confused expression, Wanwan clicked her tongue, expecting such a reaction.

"Do you know Gao Chuan has a childhood friend named Song Xin, who returned to the country at the beginning of the year?" Wanwan remarked, frustrated as if lamenting Jiang An’s obliviousness to her own romantic dangers.

Jiang An finally realized Wanwan was talking about Song Xin, and her expression darkened slightly. She nodded, "I know, she joined our department and is my teaching doctor."

Right after Jiang An spoke, Wanwan, who was sitting across from her, nearly choked on her coffee from such a shocking revelation.

"Damn," (referring to a plant).

Wanwan had initially only planned to give Jiang An a heads-up, but did not expect that Song Xin had already worked her way so deeply into the internal circle.
