Seeing Lu Qi’s smile, Qiao Nian couldn’t help but smile as well. Her mood was now much better than usual. "You don’t have to treat me like an outsider. Just call me by my given name."
Lu Qi’s eyes lit up. "You’re older than me. I’ll call you Sister Nian Nian, okay?"
Suddenly, an aged voice came from the side.
"Qi Qi, you only have one elder sister!"
Qiao Nian looked over and saw an old lady with white hair. She appeared to be reserved and taciturn, unlike Matriarch Gu’s natural amiability.
Lu Qi’s expression turned awkward. She quickly said, "Nian Nian, this is my grandmother."
Lu Qi had changed the way she addressed Qiao Nian.
Qiao Nian smiled at Matriarch Lu and greeted politely, "Madam Lu, how do you do?"
When Matriarch Lu heard Qiao Nian’s voice, she shifted her gaze to Qiao Nian, sizing her up. Then, she nodded indifferently. "So you’re Professor Qiao Nian. I heard from Qi Qi that you’re a knowledgeable young lady."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Qiao Nian took a good look at Matriarch Lu. Her lips were pale, and the whites of her eyes were slightly yellow. Qiao Nian narrowed her beautiful fox-like eyes, frowning a little. "Madam Lu, have you been feeling unwell lately?"
Matriarch Lu was stunned for a moment.
"Do you have any difficulty breathing in the middle of the night, or feel that your chest is tight?" Qiao Nian asked solemnly.
When Matriarch Lu heard Qiao Nian’s words, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She nodded. "A little lately."
Qiao Nian seemed to be deep in thought. She continued asking, "Do you feel a swelling pain in your temples? Is your back perspiring? Do the soles of your feet feel like they’re burning?"
Matriarch Lu’s gaze softened as she looked at Qiao Nian. She had long heard that some doctors could tell a person’s health condition just by looking at their physiognomy. Now, it seemed that Qiao Nian was truly capable. "A little."
Frightened, Lu Qi gripped Matriarch Lu’s hand tightly. She looked at Qiao Nian in fear and unease. "Nian Nian, did you just say that my grandmother’s health..."
