At this moment, a voice interrupted.
"Old Master Meng? What are you doing here? Looks like Old Meng has been sent in again? What, is his condition not good? My condolences, you are not young anymore, donāt let it become too much to bear and end up having something happen to yourself."
The statement dripped with schadenfreude.
Upon hearing this, Old Mengās face turned dark.
What does this mean?
Cursing Meng Chaojun to die?
And cursing him to have an accident too?
Thereās not a bit of comfort in those words!
Chiang Xiao looked up and saw Gao Ming.
Gao Weiās father.
Could it be that Gao Wei has also been brought to this hospital?
Thinking of Gao Weiās cowardly look before, and later the appearance of his beaten-up face, Chiang Xiao scoffed coldly.
"I see that Alliance Officer Gaoās eyes are unfocused, face pale, and spirits low. Is it because a family member has been hospitalized, or is it because Alliance Officer Gao himself is unwell?"
Chiang Xiao retorted with just one sentence.
She feels a little soft-hearted toward the old man because, after all, he is the grandfather of the man she loves, and sheās also called him grandpa for several years; soft-heartedness is understandable, but towards others?
Sheās not going to become putty all of a sudden.
Gao Mingās face also darkened.
"You are... Chiang Xiao, right? I remember you."
So what if you remember? Is that supposed to be impressive, is she supposed to feel honored?
But, for him to say this, does that mean they still havenāt figured out who beat up Gao Wei and his gang of friends?
Really?
Gao Wei didnāt say anything?
Chiang Xiao suddenly felt a bit curious.
"Well, itās not surprising, Alliance Officer Gao. Iām quite famous these days, youāve probably seen me in the newspapers, right?"
Chiang Xiao boasted somewhat smugly.
Old Meng was initially frustrated by Gao Mingās words, but now hearing Chiang Xiaoās comeback, his mood suddenly brightened.
"Haha, right, my granddaughter-in-law does have some skills. Xiao Gao, you should also tell Gao Wei to find something proper to do, and not laze around all day."
Xiao Gao...
Gao Ming was inwardly furious.
This old man always relies on his seniority; even though heās in such a high position, he still calls him Xiao Gao like before!
It makes him sound like some household security guard!
"Thanks for your concern, old man. Gao Wei just has a little cold recently!"
His son, lazy around?
"Coming to the hospital for a cold? Thatās weak. When Xinian gets a cold, he just drinks ten big cups of hot water every day and the next day heās back to being lively." Old Meng said with much pride.
Chiang Xiao added: "Grandfather, Gao Wei has always been beaten by Brother Xinian since he was a child, itās clear heās physically weaker."
A smile crept into Old Mengās eyes, and he nodded, saying: "Youāre right. But Xinian is much more mature and steady now, he doesnāt play these kiddie games."
"Thatās for the best, his skills have improved significantly, what if he hits Gao Wei again and ends up punching him to death?"
Pfft.
Doctor Xu standing by didnāt dare to interject at all.
Besides, there wasnāt anything for him to interject.
Were this old and young duo trying to provoke Alliance Officer Gao to death?
Couldnāt they see his face turning blue, as if he was about to make a move?
"Perhaps you two should focus on discussing Old Mengās condition."
Gao Wei said as he turned and left.
His remark indeed hit Old Mengās sore spot as his expression of pride faded and he sighed.
Chiang Xiao said: "Grandfather, even though it has spread, it doesnāt necessarily mean thereās no chance."
