Chapter 213: Chapter 213: If the Villain Doesn’t Understand, Better Replace Him with Me!
“Ah, ah, ah, someone’s been murdered, doctor! Come quickly, save them!”
Because the incident happened at the hospital.
Madam Cheng was quickly taken away by the medical staff.
Jiang Nanshu was completely stunned.
“How convenient, he gets injured and is immediately taken to the hospital. I hope there’s trouble. Will Liang Ciqiu end up behind bars? Tsk, tsk, it’s getting more and more exciting.”
“I wonder if Su Ran’s groveling crew will take a hit, are the overseas big shots coming back soon?”
Jiang Nanshu hid the excitement in her eyes and looked at Lu Qingyan worriedly, “Brother Qingyan, Liang Ciqiu, after all, is part of the Lu Family. Will he be alright?”
Lu Qingyan glanced at her coldly, “You’re worried about him?”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
“He was a male model I once supported. His face is still bearable, but his character isn’t.”
Noticing that Lu Qingyan’s mood was turning colder because she hadn’t answered,
“Oh no, you’re getting angry? I can’t afford to lose the favorability I’ve built up!”
So she quickly said seriously, “How is that possible! I was only worried that it might affect your reputation, I just mentioned him by the way.” She paused and felt that she could embellish her words further. To appear kind-hearted and sensible, she added, “Of course, I care for anyone you consider family.”
Lu Qingyan gave a soft chuckle, as if ice were melting, and leaned towards Jiang Nanshu’s ear, “You don’t need to love them. Loving me is enough.”
Jiang Nanshu felt her ears burning.
“Are you possessed? You’re even talking sweetly now.”
Noticing Jiang Jingcheng’s gaze.
Lu Qingyan: “…”
Absolutely no secrets at all.
He regained his composure and changed the topic, “I wonder how Huang Ruanting is doing.”
Yes, Huang Ruanting.
Jiang Nanshu turned to Jiang Jingcheng, “Second brother, was a girl who had her leg bitten off by a bear brought to the hospital last night? How is she doing?”
Jiang Jingcheng replied indifferently, “She’s out of life-threatening danger but still unconscious. Her right cheek was bitten off, and she either has to use crutches or get a prosthetic limb for the missing leg.”
Jiang Nanshu felt a pang of sympathy.
“The plot never mentioned all these messy incidents. Is it because I ended up getting Lu Qingyan, triggering a butterfly effect? But it’s strange, Su Ran was fine, why did he go camping in Mingyue Town?”
Lu Qingyan grabbed Jiang Nanshu and led her outside.
“Aunt Ji has been successfully admitted to the hospital. If you’re worried, I can send a car to pick up Uncle Ji and the rest, but we need to head back to the mansion first. Xuxu’s mom has come to pick him up.”
Jiang Nanshu: “?”
“Why are you dragging me along to send off your nephew?! I still want to watch the drama!”
She tried to pull away, but Lu Qingyan held on even tighter.
Jiang Nanshu could only turn her head and look awkwardly at Jiang Jingcheng who was still standing there, “Second brother, I’ll head home first. If there’s any situation, contact me anytime. I’m a bit worried about their safety.”
“Please deliver the juiciest updates, especially about Cheng An, that bootlicker; make sure he gets his surgery done quickly. I fear delays could lead to complications!”
Jiang Jingcheng: “…”
Holding Cheng An’s medical record in one hand, he said to the nurse beside him, “Arrange surgery for the young master Cheng as soon as possible. If his wound festers and gets infected, it could be life-threatening.”
The nurse looked at Jiang Jingcheng adoringly, quickly nodding, “Doctor Jiang, I’ll arrange the operating room immediately.”
“Wait.”
The nurse paused in her tracks.
Jiang Jingcheng continued, “I won’t participate in this surgery. I have an important cardiac surgery to perform this afternoon, Mr. Cheng’s surgery. Have the dean arrange for someone else.”
The nurse hurried off.
Jiang Jingcheng didn’t want to get involved with the messy situation. Madam Cheng was injured, her condition uncertain, and Cheng An’s family would surely arrive soon. Cheng An had specifically asked him not to take charge. Even if Cheng An’s leg could recover without amputation, he wouldn’t do the surgery.
He also wanted to know just how deep Cheng An’s love could go.
Outside the hospital,
Shang Xu and Jiang Hemian sat in the car waiting for others to come out.
Jiang Hemian said directly, “Future brother-in-law, can you take me to the research institute? I haven’t been at work for two days, and I’m craving it.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
[Go ahead then, who can surpass you? Cherish your last moments at work.]
Jiang Hemian just smiled, not saying a word.
Until the car stopped outside the research institute.
Then Jiang Hemian invited, “Nannan, want to come visit my lab next week?”
“I don’t…”
“Forget it,” Jiang Hemian cut off her refusal with a perfect smile, “Let me invite you.”
Jiang Nanshu felt a chill down her spine.
[Damn, why such a sinister smile? I’ll go back and tell Chu Muxi that you only see her as a sister.]
He didn’t wait for Jiang Nanshu to react, leaving suavely.
Lu Qingyan saw her dejected look and remarked in a mild voice, “Don’t want to go?”
Jiang Nanshu nodded, coughed lightly, and badmouthed Jiang Hemian through the steam of her tea: “Didn’t I fracture his hand before? He held a grudge against me for over a year. Last time I visited his lab, he pulled out a knife, saying if I ran slow, he would stab me. It was terrifying!”
Lu Qingyan, thinking of the chaotic situation of the Jiang Family, smiled sardonically and suggested to Jiang Nanshu, “If you don’t want to go, seek your elder brother. Go work with him on a project. I heard he recently acquired another plot of land, in Nanshan District.”
[I don’t want to go with him nor seek out that lunatic Jiang Yisen… Wait, what did you say he acquired?]
“Brother Qingyan, did you just say my elder brother, besides the Yan Mountain project, acquired another project?”
Jiang Nanshu looked troubled, clearly kept in the dark.
Lu Qingyan raised an eyebrow nonchalantly, Wuhu, it seems Jiang Nanshu is unaware.
He stated bluntly, “Yes, he bought land there in Nanshan District.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
[Bao Yan, Bao Yan, you big villain planning to merge with the Jiang Family, what are you up to, letting my brother scoop up such a treasure? If villains don’t get it, might as well let me take over! I could make my brother lose his shirt.]
“Nanshan District is in the suburbs, barren and by the sea, has he gone mad? Why would he buy that land, he’s bound to lose a fortune,” Jiang Nanshu fretted outwardly for her family but was actually seething with rage.
Thinking this,
She immediately dialed Jiang Yisen’s phone.
No answer on the first try; she called again.
After persistently calling nearly five times, Jiang Yisen finally answered.
His voice was lazy and indifferent, “What’s up? Sister.”
Jiang Nanshu’s voice sweet and clear: “Big brother, where are you? I haven’t seen you for a long time, I miss you.”
“I’m at…” Sounds of doors opening and car horns came from Jiang Yisen’s end, then after a few seconds, he continued, “I’m buying chewy, bouncy bubble tea.”
Jiang Nanshu: “?”
Sensing Jiang Nanshu’s confusion,
Jiang Yisen explained, “Fang Minghe wanted a drink.”
