Moreover, she is also very good at cooking.
But she had clearly seen it just now: the young man picked up the food and stuffed it into his mouth at an alarming speed, leaving her speechless.
"Is he a reincarnation of a starving ghost? He even eats his vegetables so fast!" Xiaoling muttered to herself.
She didn't think anything of it; since Wu Haoran was paying, she didn't care if she wolfed it down or not.
Chen Ran ignored her and buried himself in his work.
In no time, the plates on the table were empty.
Xiaoling's eyes widened; this guy was eating even more voraciously than she was.
Wu Haoran, however, burst into laughter, his eyes sparkling.
He patted his stomach and let out a burp.
"Brother Chen, I told you you had a good appetite," he laughed heartily.
"You guys continue chatting. I'm going for a walk." Chen Ran stood up, preparing to leave.
He really wanted to see Li Xuan. He had helped her when her father was critically ill, but he hadn't expected to anger Wang Zhen.
He wanted to know if Li Xuan had anything to do with that incident.
Moreover, he also wanted to see what Wang Zhen was all about.
"Okay, you can play by yourself, I won't keep you company." Wu Haoran nodded.
Then he added, "Brother Chen, go to the next room and find Xiaoling. Have her show you the way. My leg is all in your hands now."
"Don't worry, I promise I won't let everyone down," Chen Ran chuckled.
"Good, good!" Wu Haoran was overjoyed.
……
Chen Ran walked out of Wu Haoran's house and headed forward.
"Bang! Bang!"
There was a knock on the door.
Xiaoling walked over.
"Dr. Chen, please come with me," she said respectfully.
"Oh?" Chen Ran raised an eyebrow.
"My grandfather is taking us to a banquet today. Please come with me and change your clothes while you're at it," Xiaoling explained.
Chen Ran suddenly realized.
"Your grandfather, he must be Mr. Wu, right?" he asked in a low voice.
“Yes.” Xiaoling nodded.
"Hehe, what a nice old man," Chen Ran remarked.
Xiaoling pursed her lips, a look of surprise in her eyes. Chen Ran's tone was completely devoid of any awe or fear, only indifference.
Just like her, although she also calls Wu Haoran "Grandpa", she doesn't really respect him in her heart.
She felt that Wu Haoran was just an ordinary member of the Wu family, unlike her grandfather, who was so worthy of respect and admiration.
“My grandfather is no ordinary man; he’s the vice president of the Jiangnan Medical Association,” she chuckled, quite proudly.
“Hmm?” Chen Ran asked in surprise.
"Don't underestimate my grandfather. He's the most famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Jiangnan Province. He has a huge influence, and even the wealthy and powerful people in Jiangnan Province have to give him some face," Xiaoling said proudly.
She noticed Chen Ran's surprise and realized that Chen Ran must not know Wu Haoran's prestige in Jiangnan.
"Really? That's pretty impressive." Chen Ran chuckled.
“Of course.” Xiaoling nodded proudly, then suddenly lowered her voice and whispered, “I heard that the Su family in Jiangzhou and Bailu Academy both wanted my grandfather to join. But my grandfather refused them all, which offended a lot of people.”
"Really?" Chen Ran was taken aback.
"Do you think I'm lying to you? Go ask my grandpa, he'll definitely tell you." Xiaoling looked at Chen Ran with disdain.
She didn't think Chen Ran was qualified to meet Wu Haoran.
Chen Ran smiled but didn't say anything more.
Soon after, Xiaoling brought Chen Ran to the room where Wu Haoran was.
"Knock knock knock..." Xiaoling gently knocked on the door, her face slightly flushed.

"Who is it?" a woman's voice called out, tinged with nervousness.
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Chen Ran's lips.
"Grandpa, it's me, Xiaoling!" Xiaoling called out urgently, her voice filled with excitement.
There was a moment of silence in the room, then the door was slowly opened.
A beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam appeared before Chen Ran.
She had a beautiful oval face, skin as smooth as cream, eyebrows as green as emerald feathers, and a nose as straight as a hanging gall bladder.
This woman possessed a gentle, graceful demeanor that inexplicably evoked feelings of pity in those who saw her.
The woman was none other than Li Xuan.
She looked at Chen Ran with surprise and suspicion, then her expression changed slightly, and resentment appeared in her eyes.
"It really was you!" she gritted her teeth, glaring at Chen Ran.
Chen Ran looked at Li Xuan with a strange expression, not expecting to run into her here.
It was she who allowed Wu Haoran to capture her back then.
This woman clearly harbors a grudge against me.
His eyes were cold, and he didn't speak.
"Chen Ran, what are you doing here?" Xiao Ling exclaimed in surprise.
"This is my room, can't I be here?" Chen Ran said coldly.
"Uh..." Xiaoling paused, feeling somewhat embarrassed. After all, Chen Ran was her grandfather's savior. And Li Xuan was also considered her grandfather's savior.
So, by that logic, Li Xuan is Chen Ran's enemy, but also her grandfather's benefactor.
"Grandpa, Chen Ran is my friend, please don't bully him..." Xiao Ling said weakly.
"Hmph!" Li Xuan snorted coldly, not believing Xiao Ling's words at all.
Just then, footsteps were heard inside the room.
"Xiao Ran, you're here! Come in quickly and let Grandpa take a good look at you." A strong, weathered male voice rang out.
Chen Ran's eyes grew colder, knowing that Li Xuan had moved to the Wu family's house, while Wu Haoran had moved to another room.
He took a deep breath and looked up at Li Xuan.
At this moment, Li Xuan's expression remained cold, but her eyes were bloodshot.
She looked at Chen Ran, her resentment growing stronger.
"So this is your true nature. I'm quite impressed," she said coldly.
Chen Ran frowned, feeling that Li Xuan had become a stranger.
Li Xuan's previous aloofness and haughtiness have completely vanished.
He shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to Li Xuan, and went straight into the room.
"Chen Ran, this is my grandfather, quickly greet him." Xiao Ling pulled Chen Ran inside and urged him.
Chen Ran glanced at Wu Haoran, then looked at Xiao Ling and said helplessly, "Your grandfather hasn't even spoken yet, so it's not my turn to speak."
“He’s an elder, so naturally we should let him say what he wants,” Xiaoling said, displeased.
Wu Haoran patted Chen Ran on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Little Ran, don't mind her. My granddaughter is stubborn. I've spoiled her since she was little, which has led to her developing this personality."
Chen Ran smiled but didn't say anything.
Xiaoling paused, then stomped her foot, feeling that her grandfather was being too biased.
However, Wu Haoran seemed not to notice her reaction and continued, "Actually, this girl has always been very filial to me since she was little. I almost forgot that I had a granddaughter. When she came back this time, I saw through her thoughts at a glance, so I brought her out to relax."
"Oh," Chen Ran replied perfunctorily.
Wu Haoran was taken aback, not expecting Chen Ran to be so calm. However, considering Chen Ran's age, he didn't think much of it.
"By the way, I heard you're a medical doctor with excellent medical skills," he asked, his face showing admiration.
His granddaughter is a complete playboy; she can't do anything worthwhile except chase girls.
