Lao Jiang's eyes widened in astonishment.
It took him a long moment to recover. "Well, well! You had everything planned out ages ago! Tell me... was I part of your scheme too?"
Song Ning nodded. "Of course! You're one of the most important people in it! I wouldn't bother scheming over just anyone! It took me so much effort to lure you to the hospital in your previous life! Honestly, in this life... it's been quite a bit easier!"
"Hmph!" Lao Jiang couldn't suppress the smile tugging at his lips, but he still turned his head away with an air of wounded pride, refusing to acknowledge her.
Song Ning glanced down at her leg and continued:
"Once my stitches are out, come over there with me and have a look!"
Lao Jiang kept his chin raised, stubbornly refusing to answer.
Seeing this, Song Ning lowered her voice. "In your previous life, you were thirty-eight before I managed to lure you to the hospital, and I had to use Grandma Jiang as bait. In this life... perhaps you won't have to wait that long?"
Jiang Chengshi whipped his head around. "What do you mean? Explain yourself! Are you saying... I, I might... meet your Grandma Jiang sooner?"
This time, it was Song Ning's turn to lift her chin and say nothing.
Jiang Chengshi grew anxious.
"Hey! Little girl! Is that really true?"
"Guaranteed!" Song Ning replied.
"Fine, then! Three days! I'll come remove your stitches myself in three days!"
"Oh! Lao Jiang! When you get back, help me find all the textbooks and materials from first through fourth year. I need to start preparing!"
"Preparing for what?"
"The school's assessment! First, I'll get my medical license. Then we can discuss taking over the hospital under contract. Along the way..."
