Chapter 921 Caring For Miao Jing

Qiao Nan knew that regardless of the location, particularly in the capital and Mo Du, the price of housing would be very expensive in the future. Qiao Nan was envious of the Zhai family and the Lin family for having houses in more than one city.

In the previous life, Qiao Nan worked her entire life but she was not able to have a house of her own in the third- or fourth-tier cities, let alone a small quad near the city center.

She was reminded of the song 'Wu Huan Zhi Ge'[1] by Xiao Yueyue[2]. She thought about his song and took a deep breath. Comparisons were odious.

"Dad, did Mom have any food today?" As someone who was through rebirth, Qiao Nan could not help but be concerned about housing. However, she did not forget that she was here to take care of Miao Jing today.

"She had some plain porridge. She said that she was sleepy and did not have an appetite. She had half a bowl of porridge and refused to have any more of them." Zhai Yaohui did not have much experience in taking care of Miao Jing. Moreover, he did not have much time to take care of her. Therefore, he felt helpless.

He knew that Miao Jing was uncomfortable. Hence, he took her to the hospital once the plane landed and bought porridge home.

But other than that, Zhai Yaohui did not know what else to do. He had no time to get other things for her as well.

Qiao Nan gave Zhai Yaohui a resigned look. There was nothing that she could say about his inept way of taking care of Miao Jing. He was indeed inexperienced. "Where is her medicine? Let me take a look. Some medicine has to be taken on an empty stomach while some have to be taken after meals, else it will be harmful to the stomach. Mom might not have an appetite, but plain porridge won't do. A patient will have a bad appetite and finds everything tastes bland. Therefore, we need to prepare flavorful and nutritious food for her. Since she is sick, all the more she must have her three meals. If she skips her meals, she will not have any strength, let alone be strong enough to fight the illness."

Zhai Yaohui calmed down upon hearing Qiao Nan's words. He took out Miao Jing's medicine and placed them in front of her. "These are her medicine. I am running out of time. This is the key. When you reach, tell the guard and someone will send you in. There is money in the second drawer on the left side of the long table in the living room. I will leave Miao Miao to you."

"Sure." Qiao Nan agreed right away. Since Zhai Yaohui was the chief, it was not surprising that he would be occupied with work now that he was in the capital. "Dad, how about you? You have been here for half a day. Mom had half a bowl of porridge, but I suppose you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"I am alright." Zhai Yaohui shrugged off her concern.

Qiao Nan was exasperated. "Dad, you have to eat no matter how busy you are. People of your generation, especially those who are in this field, have sustained all sorts of injuries. You should not find it troublesome to have meals and starve yourself as a result. It will be another burden to the body. Why is it that Director Shi and you have the habit of skipping meals when you are busy? I hope that Brother Zhai does not have the same habit."

Zhai Yaohui paused momentarily at Qiao Nan's nagging. He then smiled, feeling reassured. "Alright, stay home and take care of your mom. I will take care of my meals on the way."

Old Master Zhai was after all a rough man. His wife passed away at an early age. Zhai Yaohui had his ways since he was young. When he grew up, he had his own way of doing things.

Zhai Yaohui was used to behave as he wished.

It was only when his mother was around did she discipline him.
