Tang Wan saw her biting her lip without speaking, knowing she had already taken her words to heart. She paused for a few seconds as she passed by her side.
"Everyone has vanity, there’s nothing wrong with that. Who doesn’t want to be looked up to? But don’t use your little tricks on the wrong path, and don’t take others as fools."
"Just like on the day of the engagent banquet before, I knew so of what you were thinking. I didn’t expose you, to save you so face."
Tang Wan smiled as she spoke. Jiang Jinsang spoke with a honey sword, with a three-point smile in his words, and she had learned it almost perfectly.
Jiang Jiu pushed his sunglasses up the bridge of his nose. They say when a couple lives together, they start to resemble each other. The two of them indeed looked more alike.
"Focus on yourself, stop always watching others. If it happens again..."
"I won’t be so polite."
...
After leaving the ward,
"Wanwan, you this..." Chen Zhi also got the gist, "The little girl looks quite introverted, did she deliberately approach you guys? Did she do anything excessive?"
"Not at the mont, it’s just that so of her recent actions make uncomfortable. I gave her a little warning to prevent any future trouble."
Tang Wan didn’t want to think too badly of her, but her recent actions were indeed too deliberate.
Even Zhou Zhongqing thought Xiang Xiaoyuan had a good relationship with them. It was imaginable to what extent the hospital speculated about their relationship.
Chen Zhi listened to this and smiled:
"Actually, it’s normal. Who wouldn’t want to get close to you, especially the Shen Family? When I went for the production handover, people were inquiring about Shuci. It’s like that in the entertainnt circle, let alone in reality."
"If I didn’t know you guys, I’d rush to ingratiate myself too, given the chance."
"Who doesn’t want to hold onto your big leg?"
Tang Wan was amused by his words, "If she rely wanted to get close, I wouldn’t have intentionally warned her. It’s just her little thoughts and actions are plenty, which is unpleasant."
...
As the door opened and closed, Xiang Xiaoyuan knew they had left. Then suddenly, Tang Wan’s laughter ca through.
Like a sharp blade stabbing her heart, the laughter sounded as if ridiculing her, like a clown.
She bit her lip hard, a bead of blood rolled down from the corner of her mouth.
She clearly hadn’t done anything, so how could she be accused of being shaless, just because soone has money and power, they can do whatever they want.

At this ti, Tang Wan had already pushed the door and entered the ward, where Shen Shuci had been "arguing" with the two elders of the Shen Family. When they saw Chen Zhi arrive, they stopped imdiately.
"Little Chen is here, why did you bring fruit? I’ll be discharged the day after tomorrow; there’s plenty of fruit here that we can’t finish. Take it ho with you." The old lady smiled.
Chen Zhi smiled, "I’ve been too busy lately and haven’t had ti to visit you."
"I’m in good health. It’s just that Doctor Zhou insists on making stay a few more days." The old lady hurriedly invited him to sit down. Shen Shuci poured him water, looking no different from usual.
Tang Wan had just heard Xiang Xiaoyuan say there was "arguing" inside, and she looked at Jiang Jinsang. He just smiled, showing no abnormality.
Chen Zhi had work to do and left after half an hour. Only then did Shen Shuci tell Tang Wan that the two elders had decided to settle permanently in Beijing, selling their overseas house and settling all their assets.
"Such a big decision, why didn’t you discuss it with us?" Tang Wan was also surprised.
The old man Shen smiled, "I said I wanted to return to the country, would you two disagree?"
"Of course, we agree." Tang Wan also wanted the two elders to be closer to her to show more filial duties.
Old Shen concluded, "Since the result is the sa, what’s there to discuss."
"That’s just being unreasonable."
"Anyway, it’s decided. You two just stop talking; you’re making annoyed. Your grandmother’s health isn’t good, do you want to anger her to death?"
"Now you’re even starting to act unreasonably."
"This is abusing old age."
"..." Tang Wan was both amused and irked, "We’re not against you returning to the country, just worried that handling so many things might be too much for your health."
"Do you think I’ve beco too old and useless?"
"..."
"When your child is born, I can still raise them until adulthood."
"As for your and your grandmother’s property, I don’t want it either. Save it for your old age." The two elders had lived abroad, and Tang Wan was not with them, not considering herself a qualified granddaughter, and felt guilty taking the money.
"What’s up with the kid now? Not wanting the money? One’s beco stupid from pregnancy, what’s up with the other? Lost her intelligence in love?"
Tang Wan and Shen Shuci were both stunned at the sa ti...
How did this even turn into a personal attack?
The two elders held onto the money, but no one wanted it. They were sowhat annoyed, claiming to have raised two little fools, and said the money was left for their kids, bringing up various reasons all at once. Their voice rose slightly, attracting the attention of the dical staff who ca to do their rounds.
But they didn’t know what exactly was happening, seeing the old man Shen talking with a flushed face, and agitated, while Tang Wan and Shen Shuci seed to be arguing with him.
Then they heard keywords about property, money, housing, and imdiately imagined a dramatic scene of a wealthy family fighting over inheritance due to the elderly being ill.
"...I heard the two elders of the Shen Family have a lot of assets abroad, and the money should be left to Tang Wan, after all, she’s the biological granddaughter. No matter what, Shen Shuci is adopted."
"I heard most of it is left to Shen Shuci, and a little to Tang Wan, which makes her unhappy."
"These two elders have saved for a lifeti, the money is a lot, otherwise why would these two keep running to the hospital? Usually, their relationship seems pretty good, didn’t expect them to argue about money, aren’t they both rich enough?"
"Who in the world thinks they have too much money? I heard Old Shen even scolded the pair, surely because they were arguing."
...
Rumors spread like wildfire. Zhou Zhongqing even heard that the two elders of the Shen Family were dividing their inheritance, causing disputes, and specifically asked Tang Wan.
"Don’t listen to their nonsense, there’s nothing like that." Tang Wan found the rumors terrifying.
"That’s good, I saw the rumors spread so detailed, I thought..."
"It’s that both my aunt and I didn’t want the money, so my grandpa got anxious, even saying the two of us had intelligence problems." It was rare for Tang Wan to have a mont alone with Zhou Zhongqing and tentatively asked, "Godfather, there’s sothing I want to ask you, and I want a truthful answer."
"What’s the matter, being so serious?" Zhou Zhongqing chuckled.
"How is Brother Jing’s health really?"
Zhou Zhongqing didn’t expect Tang Wan to inquire about Jiang Jinsang, after all, that young man was in great health, saying two children in three years wouldn’t be a problem.
Suddenly being asked, Zhou Zhongqing thought maybe she noticed sothing unusual about Jiang Jinsang’s health in day-to-day life and imdiately asked seriously, "Has he shown any odd symptoms recently?"
"No, no, I’m just asking casually." Tang Wan observed Zhou Zhongqing carefully, seeing him suddenly serious, she secretly thought if sothing really was being hidden from her.
Zhou Zhongqing breathed a sigh of relief at her words, as he worried about that young man being too energetic and trouble pregnant won. It turned out to be nothing.
His expression tensed and then relaxed, which was perceived completely differently by Tang Wan.
Each with their own thoughts: one thinking Jiang Jinsang was a centuries-old disaster-monger, feeling she owed him from a past life, and the other worried soone might not live long...
Tang Wan touched her belly, her expression indecipherable.
Baby oh, if in the future your father... then what should I do, it will be just the two of us?
