The next morning, in the hot sumr, at around seven or eight o’clock, the sunlight was already blazing and dazzling.
Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang arrived at the hospital to find Huo Qinqi helping the two elderly Shen family mbers pack their things, waiting for the doctor to make the rounds. After that, the old lady needed to et with the attending doctor, Zhou Zhongqing, and she could be discharged and go ho before noon.
Tang Wan watched as soone folded everything neatly and organized it well, while Shen Shuci only helped with the small tasks.
The more the old lady looked at Huo Qinqi, the more satisfied she felt. However, the old man maintained the deanor of a prospective father-in-law.
Even though there wasn’t much to pack for the hospital stay, tidying it up was still quite the task.
"Fifth Brother..." Tang Wan nudged the arm of the person beside her.
Why was Huo big brother actively helping while he was just standing there?
"He needs to show off his capabilities; I shouldn’t steal his thunder."
Huo Qinqi had sharp ears and heard every word clearly. Glancing sideways at the person, Jiang Jinsang added:
"I’m in poor health, not as hardworking as so people."
Tang Wan: "..."
How could he be so righteous and justified?
"Grandma, has Fourth Brother co yet?" Tang Wan sat down next to the old lady.
"Chengsi? No, he hasn’t."
"Grandma ntioned having Fourth Brother co to help, so I thought he was here."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Shen felt even more that the Jiang Family handled things too ticulously and carefully, affirming that Tang Wan had married into the right family. "It’s just a discharge, we don’t need so many people to pick us up. She’s just being too polite..."
She was aware that Old Lady Jiang cared about her because she valued Tang Wan, so she held her hand tightly and repeatedly told her to be filial to her grandmother in the future.
"I know." Tang Wan nodded, always rembering the kindness her grandmother showed her.
...
anwhile, at the Jiang Mansion
Old Lady Jiang originally sat in front of the courtyard, wearing glasses, threading a needle, and sewing a small object. Watching the sun rise and the temperature rise, she then went inside.
"Old lady, this little tiger you’re sewing looks really nice," one of the housemaids said, smiling.
"I just don’t know if Wanwan will like it. I originally wanted to make her so clothes, but I’m getting old, my eyes are poor, and my hands are rough. The things I make, the kids may not appreciate. Young people’s taste isn’t the sa as ours."
"She’ll definitely like what you make."
"When she cos by tonight, I’ll let her take a look first." The old lady took off her glasses and rubbed her temples.
Because the two elderly Shen family mbers were being discharged in the afternoon and needed to pack their luggage, they were worried about being rushed for lunch, so they set the ti for the evening.
"I don’t know if Chengsi went to the hospital. This boy loves to sleep in. I asked him to go help, and he’d better not forget about it." Worried, the old lady called Jiang Chengsi.
**
At this ti, Jiang Chengsi wasn’t sleeping in, but had just parked his car outside a laboratory, putting on a prepared wig and sunglasses for disguise and tracking.
His eyes were fixed intently on the laboratory entrance, his nerves highly tense. When his phone vibrated, his breath caught, and his heart almost leaped out of his chest.
Last night, his brother surprisingly gossiped about You Shenming manufacturing drugs at ho. Since a certain grandson likes to offend people, Jiang Chengsi thought You Shenming had offended his brother, so his brother planned to rashly take risks and break the law.
It’s not worth jeopardizing one’s future for such scum.
Worried his brother might do sothing foolish, he tailed him to the laboratory early in the morning.
When the phone vibrated and he saw the caller ID, he took a deep breath, "Hello, Grandma—"
"Did you get to the hospital? You didn’t forget what I told you last night, did you?"
"No, I’m on my way." Jiang Chengsi thought, handling the discharge should get them to about eleven o’clock, so it wasn’t too late for him to drive over later.
His brother’s issue seed more pressing.
Wearing the wig and sunglasses, he’d purposely dressed in all black today. After about five or six minutes, a police car ca out, followed by Jiang Shiyi’s car, speeding south along with the police car, heading straight to a club’s entrance.
Two officers got out of the police car, and from Jiang Shiyi’s driver and passenger seats got out two people...
Jiang Chengsi was stunned then, how could it be her?
As for Jiang Shiyi’s work issues, he never pried too much. Although he knew he went to the laboratory, there were no fewer than a hundred labs in Beijing, at least dozens. So he didn’t think much of it; last ti he went to pick him up after a dinner party, he only saw so male colleagues...
He had no idea that Lin, the team leader, was there.
Though he usually acted carefree, he was quite sharp.
