“Ah, Miss Gu is a little unlucky. Guo Guo happened to have something on. I don’t know what’s wrong with her recently, but she’s been leaving early and returning late. But judging by the time, she should be back soon.”
The old man was afraid that Gu Man would be dissatisfied, so he quickly explained for Guo Guo.
Gu Man did not care about this and nodded to show that she understood.
“Then I’ll wait for her in the room.”
The old man heaved a sigh of relief and his gaze landed on the man standing beside Gu Man.
“How should I address you?”
“My boyfriend.”
Xiang Yin was about to introduce himself when Gu Man beat him to it. When he heard this title, the corners of his lips could not help but curl up, and the smile on his face became sincere.
He grabbed the old man’s outstretched hand and nodded with a smile.
The old man was clearly a little reserved. Even just by looking at Xiang Yin’s outfit, he knew that he was definitely not from an ordinary family.
He entered the wooden house first and wiped the bed before letting the two of them in.
The old man stood there, momentarily at a loss. He looked around at his surroundings and fixed his gaze on the water bottle. He fetched two cups for the two of them and poured some hot water.
“I don’t have anything to entertain you with. Miss Gu, I hope you don’t mind.”
“‘It’s fine. I came here today to take a look at Guo Guo’s condition. If you have anything else to do, you can go and do it. Don’t worry about us.”
Although Gu Man said that, the old man would definitely not let the guest stay here and get busy with other things on his own, so he still brought a stool over and sat there.
He was especially curious about Guo Guo’s matter and even a little nervous. He couldn’t help but ask.
“Chief Wang contacted me a few days ago and said that the herbs have been picked up. It’s just that you need to find better herbs.”
When he said this, the old man lowered his head and his voice became much softer.
“I know that ordinary stone is not enough, so when you cure Guo Guo’s illness, I can do anything.”
“That rock is enough.”
The old man opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. However, through his eyes, Gu Man knew that he did not believe her.
“The old man only thinks so because you don’t know the value of the meteorite. However, the meteorite is more precious to me than anything else.”
Gu Man’s tone was sincere. The old man looked at his sincere expression and chose to believe her, but his tone was still especially serious.
“No matter how valuable that stone is to Miss Gu, if you need my help in the future, I’ll definitely go through thick and thin. Guo Guo’s life is my life.”
Gu Man knew that even if she continued, she would not change the old man’s mind, so she did not say anything.
Instead, Xiang Yin, who was beside them, became interested in the stone in their words.
“Why is this stone so precious to you?”
When Gu Man heard this, she deliberated for a long time before answering.
“Do you remember the stone I bought at the auction?”
“The two stones came from the same place?”
As expected of Xiang Yin. With just this sentence, he immediately understood what Gu Man meant. However, he still did not know what was so good about this meteorite.
Although many people had been studying meteorites over the years, the substances on them were too strange. They had never found anything useful, so the meteorites were more valuable for science.
“Yes, that stone is very important to me.”
When Xiang Yin heard Gu Man’s words, he silently remembered them and decided that if he encountered the meteorites like this again, he would definitely bid for it and give it to Gu Man.
The two of them did not wait for long before the door was pushed open. A familiar voice came over. However, Guo Guo seemed to be thinner than before, and her face looked tired.
She looked up and was surprised to see Gu Man.
Initially, he thought that this charlatan would never come again. If it weren’t for Director Wang’s occasional messages, Guo Guo would have told his grandfather to give up on this small hope.
“Guo Guo..”
