Chapter 887: Chapter 536: Wanwan vs. Little Green Tea, Leaving You Some Dignity (Part 2)
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, thereās nothing wrong with that. Who doesnāt want to be looked up to? But donāt use your little tricks on the wrong path, and donāt take others as fools."
"Just like on the day of the engagement banquet before, I knew some of what you were thinking. I didnāt expose you, to save you some 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 wonāt 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 moment, itās just that some of her recent actions make me uncomfortable. I gave her a little warning to prevent any future trouble."
Tang Wan didnāt 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, itās normal. Who wouldnāt want to get close to you, especially the Shen Family? When I went for the production handover, people were inquiring about Shuci. Itās like that in the entertainment circle, let alone in reality."
"If I didnāt know you guys, Iād rush to ingratiate myself too, given the chance."
"Who doesnāt want to hold onto your big leg?"
Tang Wan was amused by his words, "If she merely wanted to get close, I wouldnāt have intentionally warned her. Itās 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 Wanās laughter came 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 hadnāt done anything, so how could she be accused of being shameless, just because someone has money and power, they can do whatever they want.
**
At this time, 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 immediately.
"Little Chen is here, why did you bring fruit? Iāll be discharged the day after tomorrow; thereās plenty of fruit here that we canāt finish. Take it home with you." The old lady smiled.
Chen Zhi smiled, "Iāve been too busy lately and havenāt had time to visit you."
"Iām in good health. Itās just that Doctor Zhou insists on making me 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 didnāt 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 same, whatās there to discuss."
"Thatās just being unreasonable."
"Anyway, itās decided. You two just stop talking; youāre making me annoyed. Your grandmotherās health isnāt good, do you want to anger her to death?"
"Now youāre even starting to act unreasonably."
"This is abusing old age."
"..." Tang Wan was both amused and irked, "Weāre not against you returning to the country, just worried that handling so many things might be too much for your health."
"Do you think Iāve become too old and useless?"
"..."
"When your child is born, I can still raise them until adulthood."
"As for your and your grandmotherās property, I donāt 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.
"Whatās up with the kid now? Not wanting the money? Oneās become stupid from pregnancy, whatās up with the other? Lost her intelligence in love?"
Tang Wan and Shen Shuci were both stunned at the same time...
How did this even turn into a personal attack?
The two elders held onto the money, but no one wanted it. They were somewhat 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 medical staff who came to do their rounds.
But they didnāt know what exactly was happening, seeing the old man Shen talking with a flushed face, and agitated, while Tang Wan and Shen Shuci seemed to be arguing with him.
Then they heard keywords about property, money, housing, and immediately 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, sheās 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 lifetime, the money is a lot, otherwise why would these two keep running to the hospital? Usually, their relationship seems pretty good, didnāt expect them to argue about money, arenāt 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.
"Donāt listen to their nonsense, thereās nothing like that." Tang Wan found the rumors terrifying.
"Thatās good, I saw the rumors spread so detailed, I thought..."
"Itās that both my aunt and I didnāt 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 moment alone with Zhou Zhongqing and tentatively asked, "Godfather, thereās something I want to ask you, and I want a truthful answer."
"Whatās the matter, being so serious?" Zhou Zhongqing chuckled.
"How is Brother Jingās health really?"
Zhou Zhongqing didnāt expect Tang Wan to inquire about Jiang Jinsang, after all, that young man was in great health, saying two children in three years wouldnāt be a problem.
Suddenly being asked, Zhou Zhongqing thought maybe she noticed something unusual about Jiang Jinsangās health in day-to-day life and immediately asked seriously, "Has he shown any odd symptoms recently?"
"No, no, Iām just asking casually." Tang Wan observed Zhou Zhongqing carefully, seeing him suddenly serious, she secretly thought if something 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 women. 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 someone 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?
