My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 2136: Chapter 2138: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi

The first thing that met the eyes was a cherry blossom tree.

In this season, Mahali’s cherry blossoms were in full bloom, a tree full of pink flowers swayed in the wind, dropping a ground covered in light pink petals.

Petals fluttered like rain, littering the ground beautifully.

In the garden, there was also a flower stand. On the stand were a dozen valuable orchids. Old Madam Fu liked to cultivate plants, and orchids, these expensive plants, were also found in the Rose Garden.

Jiang Nuan recognized at a glance that these seemingly ordinary orchids were quite pricey, with a rough estimate of each costing at least five figures.

Foreigners do not like to grow orchids, these delicate plants that rarely bloom.

It is usually people from Hua Country who appreciate growing orchids.

Besides, the owner of this house was quite peculiar; next to the orchid stand wasn’t any rare flowers but a tidy little vegetable garden, with recently delivered broccoli, small tomatoes, yellow flowers, and peppers, all present here.

Orchids paired with yellow flowers, the owner’s taste, hmmmm... very unique!

Jiang Nuan looked puzzled, carrying a cake.

Could it be that she was mistaken, that Tom hadn’t returned from Los Angeles, and a new owner, also from Hua Country, had moved into this house?

Mahali wasn’t a big city, usually only locals lived here; people from Hua Country, even if they emigrated, typically moved to big cities like Los Angeles. In small cities like Mahali, she rarely encountered fellow countrymen.

She wasn’t someone who liked to guess wildly, so instead of guessing, she rang the doorbell.

Ding dong.

No one opened the door.

She raised her hand again, rang the doorbell patiently.

Ding dong.

"Coming."

A hurried voice came from inside, and soon after, Jiang Nuan saw the door open in front of her, and a woman dressed as a Filipina maid appeared, with yellow skin and black hair, she was from Hua Country.

Jiang Nuan blinked, raised the cake in her hand, and softly said, "Hello, I am your neighbor from across the street. I have been frequently receiving fish recently, and I thought it was sent by a friend who used to live here, so I came to visit."

The Filipina maid looked enlightened, "Oh, that fish, it was sent by our master. Our master has a bad leg and is recuperating here. He likes to go fishing by the lake when he’s free, but he doesn’t like eating fish. He heard from the original owner of this house that the neighbor across the street likes eating fish, so he instructed me to send the fish to you. Did we cause you any inconvenience?"

So that was the case. Jiang Nuan quickly shook her head, "No, you sending me fish could never cause me any inconvenience. Is your master home? I would like to thank him."

"Well..."

The Filipina maid looked embarrassed.

Jiang Nuan asked curiously, "He’s not home?"

The Filipina maid hesitated and then honestly said, "No, our master is home, but master has a bad leg and doesn’t like meeting strangers. Please don’t worry about those small gifts. Our master said, we’re all from Hua Country, meeting a fellow countryman abroad is like meeting an old friend, and looking out for each other is expected."

Jiang Nuan inexplicably developed a good impression of her new neighbor, and after handing the cake to the Filipina maid, she said before leaving, "Actually, I’m a doctor. If it’s convenient, maybe I could help take a look at your master’s leg injury. If it’s not a bone injury, I could help with rehabilitation therapy."

"Uh, you’re a doctor?"

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Jiang Nuan waved her hand and said, "Not a traditional doctor; I work at a research institute; my main area of research is neurological medicine. If his leg injury is bone-related, I probably can’t do much."
