But this action, in the eyes of everyone, is a very intimate action.
This has caused many people to question their initial suspicions.
"Is it really Lan Mei's boyfriend? In that case, Mr. Chen is just trying to fetch water from a bamboo basket, all in vain."
"Such a close relationship, the relationship is extraordinary."
Such whispers of discussion reached Chen Nan's ears like needle pricks.
He wished he was the one standing next to Lan Mei.
After a direct visit, the old lady's relatives came to congratulate her.
Then, it’s time to prepare for the banquet.
I don't know who it was, but shouted from below: "Old lady, it's your ninetieth birthday, why don't you play a song to show off your ageless voice?"
All the guests at the banquet were naturally interested and clapped their hands in encouragement.
Although this suggestion is good, the old lady has not let go of her voice for many years.
Coupled with age, various body functions decline, and lack of Qi and blood, it is really worrying to sing a complete song.
But everyone looked expectantly, and the old lady especially wanted to give it a try.
"Mom, your body... should we forget about it?" Lan Zhengyang said worriedly.
Lan Letian also nodded in agreement.
Seeing this situation, Chen Nan also advised: "Grandma, forget it, your old body can't hold on."
Many relatives around me also came over to stop him.
But at this time, Qin Fan spoke up.
"It doesn't matter. I think grandma can sing and she will feel happy and all her illnesses will go away."
"Qin Fan, what are you talking about? The old lady is not in good health enough to continue singing."
Lan Letian scolded unhappily.
"Qin Fan, today is the old lady's birthday. If something happens, can you afford it?" Chen Nan wasted no time in accusing her.
"Meier, your boyfriend seems unreliable."
The second aunt laughed and said something sarcastic.
Even Lan Zhengyang and Rong Manli frowned slightly, but Lan Mei looked indifferent and did not refute.
She looked at Qin Fan confidently, knowing that this little brother had a sense of proportion.
"Grandma, I'm a doctor. I'll accompany you up and sing."
Qin Fan ignored the objections and looked at the old lady with a smile.
His eyes revealed inexplicable strength and confidence.
"Okay! Then I'll sing, Qin Fan, come up with me."
The old lady is also very stubborn, and at the same time she is encouraged by Qin Fan.
Seeing that the old lady was insistent, everyone was expecting and worried, but it was hard to continue persuading her.
I could only watch helplessly as Qin Fan helped the old lady to the host table.
"See how your boyfriend not only refuses to persuade, but also encourages the old lady." Lan Letian complained angrily.
"Lan Mei, Qin Fan is too impulsive. The old lady doesn't have the energy of a sixty or seventy year old." Chen Nan also said.
"As long as Qin Fan is here, nothing will happen. If grandma is happy, let her enjoy herself as much as she can."
Lan Mei glanced at them with immense trust.
On the stage, after the old lady stood still, she came to the microphone seriously and joked.
"Then the old woman is going to show off her humiliation and sing a piece of "Five Daughters' Birthday Wishes". If she doesn't sing well, don't make fun of her."
Although I am ninety years old and my body is thin, I seem to be in particularly good spirits today.
The old lady sang the song, word for word, and every movement was still in style.
But no one noticed that Qin Fan was holding the old man's hand, his fingertips were pointing at the meridians in her palm, and the power of merit continued to seep into her.
Among the twelve main meridians of the human body, 6 are related to the hands, and there are 23 acupuncture points related to the hands.
In addition, there are 34 extra-meridian acupoints distributed on the hand.
In other words, while the old lady was singing with all her strength, Qin Fan had already performed a comprehensive massage on the three yang meridians, three yin meridians and their acupuncture points.
As soon as the song ended, the old man was emotionally infected and couldn't help but sweat a little.
His face also became much rosier.
"Wow~wow"
The hundreds of guests were shocked, not only by the old man's singing, but also by his rare energy.
The old lady is as clear as a mirror. She usually only sings a short verse at most. How could she sing a complete song heartily like today?
She knew very well that it was the warmth from her palms that made her energetic.
"Thank you!"
She patted Qin Fan's hand and returned to her seat, seemingly still unfinished.
"Mei'er, Qin Fan is a good young man! Very good!"
The old lady said good things to Qin Fan and praised Qin Fan. Lan Zhengyang and Rong Manli also showed happy smiles.
Chen Nan's lungs were almost exploding with anger, and his face felt hot. He and Qin Fan were two stark contrasts.
A young doctor with no family background and no status suppressed him firmly.
"Qin Fan, aren't you a Chinese medicine practitioner? Tomorrow I will make you ashamed!"
Chen Nan swore secretly in his heart and even twitched his fist.
During the banquet, when toasting to each other, it's all about you coming and going.
"Mr. Chen, it's really difficult to make a reservation at this Xiangxi restaurant. Thank you very much this time." Lan Zhengyang said.
Chen Nan smiled lightly and said, "Uncle, you're welcome. I'm familiar with the manager of Xiangxi Restaurant."
"Our group company spends hundreds of thousands a year at Xiangxi restaurants. Members, if you have anything to do in the future, just tell me."
He glanced at Qin Fan intentionally or unintentionally, his face full of arrogance.
"Uncle, when the banquet is over, I will go and tell their manager that there should be a discount for today's banquet."
"Well, thank you Mr. Chen."
Just as he was talking, a waiter brought a large cake, and three beautiful waitresses came with him.
Each waitress holds a plate of carefully prepared food in her hands. The ingredients are carved with dragons and phoenixes, and longevity peaches to welcome good fortune.
The waitress placed the three delicacies on the old lady's table and gave each of them their names.
"This is auspiciousness, blessings like the East China Sea, and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains."
Lan Zhengyang asked in confusion: "Waiter, these three dishes are not on our menu."
The pretty waiter smiled sweetly: "There is a distinguished guest who specially ordered this for the old lady."
"And, we give away three delicacies for free."
When Lan Letian heard this, he laughed loudly and patted Chen Nan on the shoulder.
"Mr. Chen, you are determined."
"Oh, Mr. Chen is so attentive. He even made a special trip to give the birthday boy three delicacies."
"Well, Mr. Chen knows how to handle things."
There were voices praising Chen Nan all around.
Chen Nan was stunned at first, but then he smiled happily.
Unexpectedly, Xiangxi Restaurant would show him such favor by serving three priceless exquisite dishes.
"It's nothing. After all, we are big customers and old acquaintances."
Qin Fan was slightly surprised, but he didn't care and continued chatting with the old lady.
The banquet lasted until almost two o'clock in the afternoon and people kept coming to congratulate the old lady.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked towards the old lady and the others.
"Uncle, that's Manager Zhang from the restaurant, he's here." Chen Nan said.
He stood up and pulled up his suit.
Manager Zhang saw Chen Nan and nodded with a smile, "Mr. Chen is here too."
"Well, Manager Zhang..."
Chen Nan was about to say a few polite words to Manager Zhang, but found that Manager Zhang was walking straight towards the old lady.
"Old birthday boy, do these three delicacies still suit your taste?"
"Thank you, thank you so much. It's fragrant, soft, delicious, and easy to digest." The old lady praised it several times in a row.
"Okay, with your compliment, I'll feel relieved."
"Mr. Qin, are you satisfied?" Manager Zhang asked respectfully.
Immediately, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, and asked the old lady if she was satisfied or not, that was the right thing to do.
But Manager Zhang asked Qin Fan again, are you satisfied? What is going on? This is the first time for him to come to the Lan family.
"Thank you, Manager Zhang. As long as grandma likes it, I'll be satisfied."
Qin Fan smiled and nodded.
"Mr. Zhang... Manager Zhang, you mean, these three delicacies?..." Chen Nan hesitated.
"Well, Mr. Qin is a distinguished guest of our Xiangxi Restaurant and has a black gold diamond card. These three delicacies were prepared by Mr. Qin personally for the birthday girl."
"Only distinguished guests with Black Gold Diamond Cards can taste all our delicacies for free and require all services we provide."
"The birthday girl is Mr. Qin's elder. Today's banquet is all discounted at 20%."
Manager Zhang said to the guests present with a smile.
"Boom"! Like a stone hitting calm water, all the guests started talking.
Chen Nan's head was buzzing, his ears were red, and his face was burning.
It turns out that the three delicacies were prepared by Qin Fan for the old lady. He also had a black gold diamond card, which allowed him to taste all the delicacies for free and request all services from the restaurant.
The key is that it was the restaurant manager who took the initiative to say all discounts, and Qin Fan didn't say a word.
This was like a loud slap on Chen Nan's face.
Lan Letian was also ashamed. At first he always thought it was Chen Nan who did it.
Who would have known that all this was just for the sake of Qin Fan, an outsider.
Lan Zhengyang and Rong Manli looked at each other, and looked at Qin Fan differently.
They felt that Qin Fan, a young man, was attentive, sensible, and well-connected. The most important thing was that he did not want to make great achievements.
Finally, Manager Zhang personally toasted to the old lady and drank a glass of wine with Qin Fan and Lan Mei.
The birthday banquet ended like this, and I spent the afternoon walking around the city with the old lady.
I didn't return to my residence in the suburbs until seven o'clock in the evening.
This is a courtyard house specially built by Lan Mei for her parents so that they can take care of the old lady.
