Seeing the clay pot, usually used for simmering soup, on the stove, Jiang Jingya quickly asked, "Auntie Zhang, what’s simmering on the stove?"
Auntie Zhang had obviously heard the conversation outside. "I just started simmering some ribs. Later, I’ll add more goji berries and Hongzao. That’s perfect for Jingrui to drink. It not only replenishes physical strength but also relieves fatigue."
That was exactly what Jiang Jingya had in mind. Since it was already stewing, it wasn’t appropriate to change to something else. "Auntie Zhang, could you please prepare a bowl of noodles for Jingrui first so he can line his stomach?"
Auntie Zhang replied with a smile, "There’s still a small bowl of beef sauce left from lunch. I’ll get the water boiling and cook the noodles right away."
After arranging everything, Jiang Jingya left the kitchen. She thought about the matter concerning the Wei Family girl and decided she still needed to mention it to her son to prevent any awkward situations later.
Huo Jingrui was quick. By the time Auntie Zhang had finished cooking the noodles, he had already freshened up.
Jiang Jingya went upstairs and knocked on his door. "Son, the noodles are ready. Are you all cleaned up?"
Huo Jingrui put away the towel he was using to dry his hair before opening the door. "Let’s go."
Jiang Jingya sighed inwardly as she looked at her handsome son. "Son, Mom has something to tell you."
Huo Jingrui’s face was full of wariness. "If this is about setting me up with someone, then stop right there. I’m not interested, and I don’t have time."
Jiang Jingya was so annoyed she swatted at him. "With that attitude of yours, I don’t even want to tell you! You’ll see who ends up being troubled. Honestly, it’s like my good intentions are taken for donkey’s liver and lungs."
Huo Jingrui detected the hidden meaning in her words. "Mom, it’s all my fault. Please, tell me. I’m listening."
Just then, Auntie Zhang brought out the noodles. "Perfect timing! There’s still a small bowl of the beef sauce from lunch. Have a taste."
Jiang Jingya saw her son’s chapped lips and felt a pang of heartache. "Auntie Zhang, please give him a bowl of the noodle broth as well."

Jiang Jingya looked at her son with a resentful expression. This son is really impossible. "Pan Huixin has started working at the Military District Hospital. She’s clearly there for you. If you’re not interested in her, keep your distance. That girl is very single-minded; be careful not to fall into her trap."
Actually, the members of the Pan family are quite decent. It’s just that girl who is incredibly stubborn. Over time, it can become rather tiresome.
