Chapter 218 Good horses don’t eat the grass behind them

After that night, Jiang An didn’t see Gao Chuan for many days.

After finishing the handover procedures, Jiang An started working orderly in the hospital. Although the private hospital’s treatment was not as good as the previous City Hospital, the working hours were still generous and the pace was not as busy as before.

Since the hospital was in the city center, it was really inconvenient to run back and forth from the old house in West Suburb, so Jiang An started to look for an apartment.

Although she had some savings at hand, considering future living expenses, she still thought of renting an affordable apartment.

Wei Yan, knowing that she had started working, personally drove to pick her up from work and took her out for dinner to celebrate.

The two went to a Western restaurant, where the man gentlemanly ordered her favorite dishes and raised the glass of red wine to her: "Congratulations to Dr. Jiang on successfully finding a job!"

Jiang An replaced wine with juice, smiling as they clinked glasses.

For many years, Wei Yan took care of her meticulously like family, and she knew she could never repay his kindness in this lifetime.

The two briefly talked about Jiang An’s plans after returning to the country, and in the conversation, Wei Yan asked about the incident at the airport that day.

"Has that Mr. Gao not bothered you anymore?" The man asked tentatively as he cut the steak on his plate.

Jiang An was startled when he suddenly mentioned Gao Chuan, pausing her knife and fork, but regained her composure in a few seconds and chose to hide the fact that they had met from him, responding in a flat tone with her head down, "No."

Wei Yan silently nodded when he heard this, knowing that Jiang An did not want to remember the past sorrows, and wisely kept quiet.

Indeed, over the years, he occasionally heard some rumors about Gao Chuan, the unapproachable Second Young Master of the Gao Group, who was forced into business two years ago due to his grandfather’s threat, conducted business with ruthless decisiveness, and quickly became a rising star in the business world.

Of course, he also heard that Gao Chuan hadn’t started a new relationship over the years, and he couldn’t help but think that the man was actually waiting for Jiang An.

He recalled four years ago at the airport when he and Xia Zi left the airport and saw the dejected man; Xia Zi, indignant about the mess Gao Chuan had made with Jiang An, directly rushed up and pummeled the man who didn’t utter a word throughout.

At that time, he too had loathed Gao Chuan intensely, nearly coming to blows but eventually restraining his emotions.

Jiang An had already left, and he just coldly told him not to disturb her anymore and departed indifferently.

This incident, neither he nor Xia Zi told Jiang An, hoping as good friends that she could forget those sad memories and start a new life.

Jiang An also personally told him that after returning to the country, she would not have any relationship with Gao Chuan, but he felt inexplicably anxious.

He feared that this naive girl would, just like before, be foolishly taken away by someone else when he wasn’t careful.

"Brother Wei Yan, don’t worry, good horses don’t eat the grass behind them, I will keep my distance from him," Jiang An reassured him as she saw the worried expression on his face.

Hearing her say this, Wei Yan’s tense expression slowly relaxed, telling her to ask him for help anytime.

Jiang An nodded in agreement and tried to lighten the slightly heavy atmosphere between them: "Stop talking about me, how are things going with your blind date with your old classmate?"

Wei Yan, who was in his early thirties and perennially single, inevitably faced the challenge of blind dating, unexpectedly ending up meeting an old classmate who used to be his nemesis; they started quarreling as soon as they met.

Recalling his surprising encounter, the man frowned involuntarily and massaged his temples with a helpless gesture, "Don’t mention it, it’s headache-inducing."

Jiang An saw his troubled expression and couldn’t help but secretly laugh at the side.

She never thought that the always competent Wei Yan could be driven to the brink of tears by a woman.

After running around for three or four days, Jiang An finally rented a suitable apartment. After negotiating with the landlord, she prepared to pack up and move in.

Since she didn’t have to work on Sunday, Jiang An packed up her home, called a moving company, and moved her belongings to the new place.

The old house held too many memories of her and her mother; even if she would not live there in the future, she would not sell it. The woman locked each door, and just as she was about to leave, she saw Shen Mei, gasping for breath, climbing up the stairs.

An unexpected guest.

Jiang An froze on the spot, completely unprepared for the elderly lady’s sudden appearance.

Shen Mei noticed the bags and bags Jiang An was moving out and immediately asked her where she was moving to.

Since returning to the country, the old lady’s concern for her was more than evident, but her heart was set on having no further association with Gao Chuan, and Shen Mei’s repeated visits undoubtedly added to her troubles.

Jiang An moved her belongings aside and politely invited the old woman to sit in the house, then hurried to the kitchen to boil water.

Shen Mei walked back and forth alone in the living room, examining the photos on the wall, which were the old family portraits of Jiang An’s family from a long time ago.

Before Jiang An had married into the Gao Family, she only knew that the girl’s parents had both died, leaving her in a pitiful state. Today, seeing Jiang An’s childhood photographs made her feel even more heartbroken.

Such a good girl, ultimately, it was the Gao Family who wronged her.

Before long, Jiang An came out with a glass of water and saw Shen Mei staring blankly at her childhood photo on the table until she approached, and the old lady came back to herself.

The old lady followed Jiang An to the sofa, knowing that Jiang An had just started working and was not financially comfortable, she took the initiative and said, "Anan, if you don’t mind, I have an apartment under my name. You can move in there..."

Jiang An immediately shook her head to refuse and expressed the words she had held back for a long time, "Auntie, thank you for your concern, but there really is no possibility between Gao Chuan and me. Please don’t come looking for me again in the future."

Hearing Jiang An explicitly cutting ties with her in her presence, Shen Mei’s face showed urgency as she quickly grabbed Jiang An’s hand to explain, "Anan, I know you were wronged back then, and I don’t mean anything else. I can understand you not wanting to see Gao Chuan, but auntie truly cares for you and wants to look after you."

Jiang An, listening to the old lady’s heartfelt words, kept her head down, not responding.

After all, she was too sensitive, only thinking about staying far away from Gao Chuan without considering the feelings of the two elderly.

"I’ve discussed it with your uncle; we won’t hope for you and Gao Chuan to get back together anymore. We thought of unofficially adopting you as our goddaughter, to satisfy our wish. How does it sound, Anan?"
