In the car.
Chen Wan'er asked curiously, "Mengyao, where did you get the car? Did your superiors assign it to you?"
As Tian Yutang's daughter, it wouldn't be surprising if local officials tried to curry favor with her and showed their goodwill.
However, her daughter wasn't that kind of person!
"Xiao Fan lent it to me."
"How could you accept something so precious from him?"
Chen Wan'er was a little angry. It was said to be a loan, but cars were consumables. If she drove it for a few years, the car would be practically worthless. What was the difference between that and a gift?
"Mom~"
Tian Mengyao said aggrievedly, "Xiao Fan isn't short of money. Besides, he usually just stays in the medical hall and doesn't go anywhere. What's wrong with me borrowing it to drive?"
Seeing her daughter's attitude, Chen Wan'er's heart skipped a beat.
"Mengyao, tell me the truth, how far have you two gotten?"
"I..."
Tian Mengyao's face instantly turned red.
"It's not as bad as you think... I'm not an idiot."
"You're not an idiot?"
Chen Wan'er rolled her eyes and pushed her daughter's head.
"I think you're completely clueless!"
"Mom, I'm driving."
Tian Mengyao secretly rejoiced that she had managed to protect herself and hadn't let Lin Fan really have his way.
However, she hadn't been spared from being taken advantage of.
Thinking of their intimate moments together, Tian Mengyao's cheeks were as red as a ripe apple.
Chen Wan'er shook her head. Seeing the situation now, it was only a matter of time before her daughter fell for him.
After raising her for over twenty years, the thought of that day still filled her with a sense of loss and reluctance.
However...
After careful consideration, Lin Fan seemed like a good choice.
A truly hidden master!
If it weren't for her daughter being here, she would never have imagined that such a remote and desolate place could hide a divine doctor and a saintly hand who healed the sick.
And he was so young, with unlimited potential for future achievements!

Lin Fan returned to the medical hall after eating.
Lying on the sofa, he thought about what his sister-in-law had said – the frame of the new house was built, and it would be completed in about half a month. He was already eager to move into the new house.
After some aimless thoughts, he took out the "Qing Nang Jing" from under the bed and began to study it.
Ever since this thing came into his possession, he had taken it out to look at every night.
He had tried every method he could think of, even the unreliable idea of dripping blood, but he still hadn't discovered any hidden secrets.
Lin Fan was not discouraged.
Day after day, he stared at it, hoping that one day he could figure out what true inheritance Huang Shigong Liu had left behind. Even if he couldn't become as famous as Zhang Liang, he could at least pass on the crystallization of previous generations' wisdom.
Buzz buzz!
Time unknowingly passed until late at night.
As Lin Fan was engrossed in his research, his phone suddenly vibrated twice.
"Stinky Xiao Fan, are you asleep?"
"If you are, get up quickly."
"Hurry up, something urgent needs you!"
It turned out to be a message from Tian Mengyao.
"Not sleeping yet, what's the matter?"
Lin Fan replied quickly.
Logically, today was the day of reunion for mother and daughter. There were so many empty rooms in the village committee building, so what urgent matter could there be in the middle of the night?
Could there be a rat in the room?
"Don't worry about it for now, come over quickly. It's at the threshing ground on the west side of the village."
"Hey, why are you going to the threshing ground?"
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat.
He remembered the last time Tian Mengyao was possessed by a snake spirit, it was also in the middle of the night. Could it be...
Instantly, he dared not think further and quickly put on his clothes to leave.
When he went out, he turned back and circled around, stuffing a long fruit knife into his pocket, just in case.
In the dark night, he strode forward, leaping three to five meters at a time. His figure was like a phantom, his feet stirred up wind, and he moved like a phantom towards the threshing ground.
At the threshing ground.
The haystacks piled up like straw bales resembled giant graves, scattered haphazardly in the dark night.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Tian Mengyao shivered.
If it were her alone, she would never dare to come here in the middle of the night, even if she were killed.
Looking at Bai Jing, who was kicking and stretching her waist in front of her, the raging anger in her heart instantly dispelled the negligible fear.
"Hey, hey!"
Bai Jing performed two quick and sharp punching motions: "Are you really stupid? Letting a doctor fight me one-on-one?"
She curled her lips dismissively: "What? Do you think you're amazing just because you have a boyfriend?"
"Shut up!"
Tian Mengyao snorted, "Today, we'll settle both old and new scores!"
"Alright, I'll see how amazing your boyfriend really is."
Bai Jing hooked the corner of her mouth: "When I beat him down, don't you cry to Aunt Chen to go back home~"
"Bai Jing, today you'll be the one crying!"
As the two were arguing, a figure suddenly appeared.
Bai Jing alertly turned her head to the side and her pupils contracted: "So fast!"
"Mengyao, are you alright?"
Lin Fan shot over. He was still dozens of meters away just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was very close.
"Xiao Fan."
Seeing her lover, Tian Mengyao happily stepped forward.
Lin Fan's eyes were frighteningly bright in the dark night.
Upon reaching him, Tian Mengyao saw eyes that were glowing with a purple light. She was startled and stopped abruptly. However, in the next second, Lin Fan's eyes returned to normal.
Tian Mengyao rubbed her eyes, thinking she had misread.
Lin Fan saw Bai Jing there too and was very confused: "What are you two doing here in the middle of the night?"
"Xiao Fan, I have an important mission for you."
Tian Mengyao placed a hand on Lin Fan's shoulder: "You must agree."
"Tell me what it is first."
Lin Fan couldn't figure out what the two women were up to.
"Beat up that Bai Jing for me!"
Tian Mengyao's tone was firm, and she pointed lazily at Bai Jing with her finger.
"What?"
Lin Fan felt bewildered. Not sleeping at night and calling me out to beat up a woman, are you out of your mind, or am I?
"Lin Fan, come!"
Bai Jing contemptuously beckoned with her finger.
"Miss Tian now has a boyfriend and has become more capable. She wants you to teach me a lesson. Come on, let's try."
Bai Jing shook her shoulders and got into a fighting stance.
"You two, calm down."
Lin Fan looked left and right: "Does Aunt Chen know you are here?"
"This is a matter between us."
Tian Mengyao put on a stern face: "Xiao Fan, just tell me if you'll help or not? I haven't tolerated this injustice for one or two days."
"Coincidentally, I've been feeling annoyed for a long time too."
Bai Jing retorted sharply.
"Bai Jing! What are you annoyed about?"
Tian Mengyao stamped her foot in anger: "Since childhood, you've eaten our food, drunk our food, and even wanted to play with my toys. I haven't said anything yet, what right do you have to be annoyed?"
"You haven't said anything?"
Bai Jing sneered: "Who was it that cried and insisted on driving me away? Besides, what I ate and drank was from Aunt Chen and Uncle Tian's things. What does it have to do with you?"
"You! You're quibbling!"
Tian Mengyao trembled with anger.
