Chapter 466: 298 Fifth Master is too unpopular, woke up and went to get the certificate (15 updates)_2

He hadn’t been sleeping well and had lost weight.

"It’s okay."

"I honestly didn’t like him before, you know. If his health doesn’t improve, you might have to live this way for the rest of your life. This really worries me..." Although it wasn’t very late at night, the hospital was eerily quiet, and Tang Yunxian couldn’t help but feel emotional, "Your mother passed away early, and I know all too well how hard this is. I don’t want you to end up living your life like I have."

"Dad, Xiaowu is different from Mom; he’ll get better!"

Tang Wan clenched her teeth, certain in her words.

"You’ve been taking such good care of him, and if he doesn’t recover, I’ll have Uncle Teng arrange for you to meet someone right away, and we’ll go back to Pingjiang to get married."

With a laptop on his knees, Jiang Yanting flinched at these words, nearly deleting all the files he had organized.

"If he never wakes up, you can’t wait for him forever. Don’t blame me, his heartless father; I don’t want you to live like this."

"There are plenty of good men in the world. My daughter is so outstanding; are you worried about not finding someone who’s healthy and understands you? Why hang yourself on a withering tree?"

"We’re already engaged," Tang Wan said through clenched teeth.

Jiang Yanting opened his mouth to say something in defense of his brother, but Tang Yunxian cut across,

"Marriages can be dissolved, let alone engagements."

The comment was...

Irrefutable.

"Actually, I’ve always been against you marrying so far away. It’s too far; if someone bullies you, there’s no family to back you up. If he really doesn’t wake up, let’s just go home."

"Once we’re home, I’ll arrange for you to meet someone else. There are countless men out there, if you don’t like them, we’ll find someone else."

"Given enough time, you’ll forget about him."

...

Jiang Yanting felt that Tang Yunxian was deliberately provoking him.

Ever since Zhou Zhongqing had mentioned that some stimulation might help, many had visited—grandma, mom and dad, Qi Zeyan, Jiang Chengsi... Tonight, it was his soon-to-be father-in-law’s turn.

Some people are simply not good at heart; with such an opportunity to "get back," pointing a finger, scolding, stimulating him, no one would pass up on the chance.

After using Qi Zeyan to provoke Jinsang earlier today, he even joked:

"If we manage to wake him up with this, it’d actually be a great achievement; not a bad job at all. If he doesn’t wake today, I’ll come back tomorrow."

...

"Dad, stop talking," Tang Wan said, realizing her father’s intentions.

Her Xiaowu was so unpopular, why were there so many eager to provoke him? Even her dad was doing it.

"If he wakes up..." Tang Yunxian was actually very worried inside. Even if he woke up, if his health was still bad, or in the worst case he had some paralysis or disability, what then?

But before he could express his doubts, Tang Wan interrupted him.

"Once he wakes up, we’ll go register our marriage!"

Her gaze was piercing, her tone even more certain.

Tang Yunxian and Jiang Yanting were both momentarily stunned.

Tang Wan, seeing her father finally silenced, bowed her head and dipped the towel in hot water again to wipe his face, noticing his eyelashes tremble slightly. She initially thought it was just the stimulation, even casually looking towards Jiang Yanting, "Big brother, later could you wipe his lower... half... body."

His eyelids trembled, slowly opening, and in her heart, Tang Wan felt both surprise and joy, the last few words caught, broken in her mouth.

"I’ll help him wipe in a bit." Jiang Yanting had been practically looking after him all the time recently.

The old lady even said something like, "Show the same meticulous care you did with Jiangjiang, just look after your brother that way."

Jiang Yanting had no experience with kids, and when Jiangjiang was little, he sometimes cried incessantly for no apparent reason. Even with Jiang Yanting’s patience, he’d eventually get annoyed, almost tempted to throw him out of his arms...

Think about it, this is his real son, let’s forget it.

"Five... Brother Five, are you awake?" Tang Wan’s voice trembled, unable to hide her excitement.

Jiang Yanting and Tang Yunxian exchanged a glance, putting down whatever they were doing in a hurry to check on him.

Jiang Jinsang seemed to see a white fog before his eyes. Having had his eyes closed for too long and remained in the dark, it seemed he was still unable to adjust to the brightness in front of him. He could hear voices, but everything in front of him appeared as a blur.

"Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou—" Tang Wan, who usually maintained her composure, was now clutching a towel as she pushed open Zhou Zhongqing’s office door.

Zhou Zhongqing was not scheduled for surgery tonight and was wearing the neck massager she had gifted him, preparing to rest when she startled him nearly causing him to fall off the chair.

"What’s wrong!" He thought something had happened to Jiang Jinsang.

"He’s awake, he’s awake!"

...

Zhou Zhongqing hurriedly ran to the hospital room, and because of Tang Wan’s shout, everyone on the floor knew that Jiang Jinsang had awoken. Fortunately, this ward had few people and it wasn’t too late, but it still disturbed others’ rest. On her way back, Tang Wan, if encountering any patients or family members who poked their heads out, kept apologizing profusely.

The news of Jiang Jinsang’s awakening quickly spread, and by then it was nearly nine in the evening. The old lady had already gone to bed but dressed again to personally visit the hospital.

Smiling, she kept muttering,

"This boy, always causing trouble since he was little, worrying people. I didn’t expect he’d still be the same grown up. How nice it would have been if he woke up during the day, but he had to wait until it was dark, and everyone was asleep. It tires out my old bones..."

After regaining consciousness, Jiang Jinsang was quickly surrounded by some medical staff. His mouth was too dry and his throat too hoarse to talk, his body lacked strength, and he could only manage to make a gesture of lifting his arm.

Tang Wan stood by, biting her lip, her eyes welling up with tears.

These past few days, everyone kept saying that surgery wasn’t the hardest part; the first step was a successful surgery, and what followed would be even harder...

Every time she heard that, he had not awakened yet. Watching him just lying there, how could she not be anxious?

Finally, he had awakened...

"Xiaowu, lift your right hand," Zhou Zhongqing said excitedly as well.

Jiang Jinsang heard him, blinked, raised his hand, stretched his leg...

But out of the corner of his eye, he saw Tang Wan taking sharp breaths as if she wanted to cry, looking thinner too, which naturally pained his heart. He raised his hand, wanting to touch her...

Just as he lifted it, Zhou Zhongqing pressed it down again, "Now lift your right leg."

Jiang Jinsang frowned, continued to reach out his hand; his throat hurt too much to speak, so he could only try to reach Tang Wan...

After several attempts to lift it, Zhou Zhongqing pressed it down again: "Can’t you hear my instructions? I said leg, not hand... Why do you keep lifting your hand?"

Tang Wan also noticed his continuous hand-reaching, yet she didn’t quite grasp what he was trying to do.

Still foolishly looking at Zhou Zhongqing, she asked a question that almost made Jiang Jinsang vomit blood:

"Did Brother Five damage his brain?"

Is this something one’s own wife should say?

Jiang Jinsang sighed heavily, put down his arm, and per Zhou Zhongqing’s instructions, stretched his arms, kicked his legs...

"It’s fine now, next is just to recuperate well." Zhou Zhongqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, turning to Tang Wan, "Don’t worry, his brain should be fine."

Although it was already very late, still quite a few people trickled in...

Qi Zeyan, who had been working overtime at the company, also ran over to take a look.

As he was leaving, Tang Wan walked him out, he frowned slightly, "I feel like the way he was looking at me was a bit strange."

"Uncle Zhou said, he could hear and probably remember what we said, so..." Tang Wan smiled, these past days he had "scolded" the harshest.

Qi Zeyan felt a chill blow over, his back of the neck felt chilly, and he fled the hospital like escaping.
