Chapter 764: Chapter 765: No Need to Get Married Anymore!4

Right, we can find a caregiver for him now.

Mo Ran called Mo Yan’s phone, "Hello, sis, I need to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"It’s about Mr. Yuan, I had lunch with him today and he developed an allergic reaction to shrimp and is now hospitalized. Could you arrange for a caregiver to look after him?"

"Which hospital?"

Mo Ran told her the address, and Mo Yan said she’d have someone take care of him very soon.

"Sis, he doesn’t like being in contact with strangers, so, you know... handle it as you think best."

"I see. Don’t worry, I know what to do, just need to be polite and courteous to him."

"Okay, thanks. I have to hang up now, I’ve got other things to handle."

"By the way, what’s up with you? Why aren’t you arranging a caregiver for him?"

"Just have something to do, I’ll tell you about it tomorrow. That’s it, I’m hanging up." Mo Ran hung up the phone, looked out the window, and suddenly noticed something was off.

"Driver, is this the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau?" It felt like they were going in the opposite direction.

The taxi driver answered her firmly, "Of course, it’s the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"But it doesn’t seem right to me, like it’s not the usual route."

"This route also goes to the Civil Affairs Bureau, don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know, as if I’m trying to scam you out of money."

Mo Ran was at a loss for words but couldn’t help asking again, "How much longer until we get there?"

"About twenty minutes."

"That long? Can’t you go faster? I need to get there within fifteen minutes."

"No way, twenty minutes is already the limit. In fifteen minutes, it’s impossible to get there."

Mo Ran grew anxious, "But I remember the trip only takes fifteen minutes!"

"Indeed, if you take another route, it only takes fifteen minutes, but this route takes a bit longer."

"Then why didn’t you take the closer one?"

"Because I’m not familiar with that road," the driver told her confidently.

Mo Ran was so angry, she had never encountered such a stubborn, self-assured driver.

"Stop the car, I want to get out!" She would hail another taxi; she refused to believe she couldn’t make it in fifteen minutes.

It seemed like the driver didn’t want to lose her as a passenger, so he quickly tried to appease her with a smile, "If you get off now, even if you take a shortcut, it’ll still take twenty minutes. Better stick with my car, I’ll go as fast as I can, and I promise to get you there in about ten minutes, okay?"

"Are you familiar with this route?" Mo Ran couldn’t help but be skeptical.

"Of course! I’ve driven it more than a couple of times!"
