Jiang Li did not expect him to have considered this. He didn’t know what to say. “Dad, since you’re so concerned about Nian Nian, why are you…”
“Many things are not what you think. They’re not always black or white.” Jiang Zongnan did not want his son to preach to him. He sighed and patted his hand. “Give her this bank card. Don’t say that I gave it to you. Just say that you’re helping her with the living expenses.”
Jiang Li held the bank card. It was hot and heavy.
Jiang Zongnan seemed to know what he was going to say. “I know what you want to tell me, and I know what you want to ask me. I can only tell you one thing. I have no choice!
“It’s not that I don’t dote on Nian Nian, and it’s not that I don’t remember your uncle’s kindness… but on one side is my wife and daughter, and on the other is my old father, brother, and niece. What would you do if it were you?”
!!
Jiang Li tightened his grip on the bank card. He didn’t know what he would do, because he had not thought about any of this.
Light flashed in Jiang Zongnan’s eyes as he stood there with his hands behind his back. He looked in the direction of Qiao Nian’s ward and smiled bitterly, then said with a hint of self-mockery, “…I’m afraid that as her uncle, I have disappointed her today.”
Jiang Li didn’t know how to comfort him. He only felt that his back was much more hunched than before. “Nian Nian isn’t that kind of person.”
“I’ve let her down,” Jiang Zongnan whispered.
After saying that, his gaze drifted into the distance. He finally pulled back his rationality and composed himself. He patted Jiang Li’s shoulder and said helplessly, “Let’s go back.”
…
Qiao Nian’s right arm was bruised, and her wrist was fractured. It looked like a serious injury, but it was not the kind of injury that required hospitalization.
Ye w.a.n.gchuan took some anti-inflammatory medicine from the doctor and followed Mr. Huang to the Chinese Medicine Hall to get some medicine for Qiao Nian.
After doing this, he and Qin Si went to settle her discharge procedures.
After he had settled everything, he told Old Master Jiang and Jiang Zongjin that he would take Qiao Nian back to Rhine Apartments.
Gu San was the most nervous person about Qiao Nian’s injury.
Upon reaching home, Gu San took the Chinese Medicine that Mr. Huang had prescribed for Qiao Nian and hurried into the kitchen to brew the medicine.
Qiao Nian went to the second floor to check something.
Bo Jingxing, Zhang Yang, and Qin Si were in the living room downstairs. Zhang Yang was a sensitive person. Seeing that Gu San was busy brewing medicine for Qiao Nian in the kitchen, he made a pot of tea and poured some for Qin Si, Bo Jingxing, and Ye w.a.n.gchuan.
Qin Si was furious and fl.u.s.tered. He picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp, then placed it on the coffee table. He suppressed his anger and said, “The entire Zhu family has been gutsy recently. It’s enough that Zhu Yuanhao came to court death, but his mother also came along. Are they afraid that their family won’t die thoroughly?”
Ye w.a.n.gchuan crossed his legs and slowly picked up his teacup under his gaze. He lowered his eyelashes and looked coldly at the tea leaves floating in the cup, then said lazily, “Maybe they’re bored and want to find something to do.”
“Tsk. Yes, they’ve found something to do now. It’s said that before Madam Zhu was taken away by the police, she was still calling people everywhere for help.”
Qin Si felt that this matter was quite ridiculous, so he sneered and said, “I don’t know what she’s thinking, either. Could it be that she thinks that she can settle such a big matter with her connections? What kind of person does she think Sister Qiao is!”
