Jiang Zhiyuan looked solemn. His eyes swept across the mess in the music room and his cold eyebrows were curved upwards.
âHow did Anâning faint?â
Jiang Xuecheng darted a look at Jiang Zhiyuan and said, âIâll explain later. Letâs send Anâning to the hospital first.â
Although he didnât like Sheng Anâning, he couldnât watch Sheng Anâning die here.
If this was the case, he was afraid that Su Wan would have a hard life in the Jiang family in the future.
Sheng Anâningâs move was dangerous but it was indeed a clever one. Other than breaking her own retreat, she broke that of Jiang Xuechengâs and Su Wanâs at the same time.
Sheng Anâningâs grandfather was Jiang Zhiyuanâs subordinate and was his friend of life. Back then, when the Sheng family entrusted Sheng Anâning to the Jiang family, Jiang Zhiyuan had promised to treat her like his own granddaughter.
In reality, the Jiang family treated Sheng Anâning as such. From a young age, Sheng Anâning enjoyed the privilege of being the Jiang familyâs young missy. Luo Xiuxiu had treated her as the apple of her eye too.
Hence, no matter what, they would not allow anything bad to happen to Sheng Anâning here.
Before Jiang Xuechengâs voice died down, Jiang Haoxuan had carried the unconscious Sheng Anâning and in a hurry, went pass the seniors who surrounded the door as he rushed out of the music room.
Xu Ziyao saw Jiang Haoxuanâs anxious look and frowned. Both her sons worried her. How nice it would be if the person Sheng Anâning liked was Haoxuan.
The situation might not be as ugly as it was today.
***
Jiang Haoxuan and Sheng Anâning got into the ambulance. Because the Jiang familyâs old mansion was closest to The City Hospital of S City, Sheng Anâning was sent there first. If the situation changed, they would consider transferring her to Zhao Hua Hospital.
The seniors of the Jiang family were worried about Sheng Anâning. So, they ignored their need to rest and drove their cars to the hospital.
Naturally, Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan could not fall behind. So, they drove their Koenigsegg Agera R and followed suit.
In time of crisis like this, if Jiang Haoxuan confused everyone and distorted the truth in the hospital, Su Wan wouldnât be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the river.
Jiang Xuecheng drove very fast. Su Wanâs mind was filled with what happened today and she was in a state of confusion at the moment.
Through the rear-view mirror, Su Wan saw Jiang Xuechengâs father driving his car. She sighed softly. At the thought of the need to explain the matter all over again in the hospital later, she fretted.
Jiang Xuecheng heard Su Wanâs soft sigh and frowned. Then, he consoled her softly by saying, âDonât be afraid, Iâm here.â
Just like how he had promised Lin Feiâer at Zhao Hua Hospital today, he would not allow anyone to bully Su Wan, even if those were his family members.
The bright light from the street lamp shone on Jiang Xuechengâs face and Su Wan could see his current expression clearly.
From his deep and cold eyes, she could sense some tenderness.
A different feeling sprang up in her mind and she gaped but not a single word could be uttered.
Su Wan felt as if something was stuck in her throat and it gave rise to her urge to cry.
If there is one person who cares for you so much in this world, the feeling is indescribable. She was touched but it was stained with bitterness.
When Jiang Xuecheng arrived at The City Hospital of S City, Sheng Anâning had already been sent into the emergency department.
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng, alongside seniors of the Jiang family, went to the level where Sheng Anâning was.
The night grew darker and not many patients were left in the City Hospital of S City though occasionally, one could still hear the sound of patients or nurses walking.
Su Wan raised her head to look at the ceiling. Her eyelids suddenly twitched.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
In fact, Su Wan despised the hospitals. Since the day of her parentsâ accident, she didnât like the smell of disinfectant in the hospitals. Lin Feiâerâs accident a while ago had deepened this sort of feeling in Su Wan.
However, now, she had no choice but to sit on the chair outside the emergency ward.
The minute they sat down, Luo Xiuxiu couldnât suppress her anxiousness. She came over to Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan as she asked, âWan, tell me, why did the two of you come back suddenly? Why did Anâning become like this?â
Luo Xiuxiu genuinely liked Sheng Anâning. On one hand, she was concerned about her husbandâs subordinate and on the other hand, Sheng Anâning was a likeable child.
Su Wanâs lips moved. She saw that Xu Ziyao and the others looked toward them too. For a moment, she didnât know how to explain to Luo Xiuxiu.
How could she convince them that the seemingly gentle and pure Sheng Anâning had planned such a vicious plot against her as soon as she returned?
How could she be tactful enough to show her calmness?
When Jiang Haoxuan saw Su Wan in a silence, he misunderstood that she had a guilty conscience. He thought of the uncertain fate of Sheng Anâning, who was still in the emergency room, and a throbbing pain arose in his heart.
âGrandmother, do you know what kind of wife Brother has married? She was trying to force Anâning to death!â
It was not only Luo Xiuxiuâs, but even Xu Ziyaoâs, Jiang Zhiyuanâs and Jiang Weiâs faces changed. They had obviously not expected an exaggerated argument between Su Wan and Sheng Anâning.
âGrandmother, I...â
Just when Su Wan was about to provide an explanation, Jiang Xuecheng blocked her and stood in front of her like a knight.
Although Su Wan was his wife, Jiang Xuecheng knew that in the eyes of the Jiang family members, her worth was much lower than Sheng Anâningâs.
Sheng Anâning had stayed in the Jiang family for more than ten years. She was a girl whom Luo Xiuxiu, Jiang Zhiyuan, Jiang Wei, and Xu Ziyao watched grow up.
Peopleâs hearts were biased. Who could guarantee absolute fairness?
He was the eldest son of the Jiang family. It would be much better if he were to explain compared to Su Wan.
Jiang Xuechengâs eyes moved and he stared at Jiang Haoxuan steadily. His eyes were as deep as the ocean.
âYou avoid the important points and dwell on the trivial. You speak slandering words against your sister-in-law. Have you returned everything you learned to your teacher?â
Jiang Xuechengâs voice was as gentle as the river but once it entered everyoneâs ears, there was a kind of terrifying power.
This was the first time Jiang Haoxuan was directly criticized. His expression laxed and he snorted coldly.
âYou only know how to defend Su Wan but youâve never turned back to look at Anâning who stands behind you!â
What was so good about that woman Su Wan? To Jiang Haoxuan, what Sheng Anâning had done for Jiang Xuecheng was far more than Su Wan.
When the Jiang seniors heard what Jiang Xuecheng said, their hearts surged like waves.
Jiang Zhiyuan stared at Jiang Xuecheng with a face of solemnness.
After all, he was once the powerful man in Jiuzhou who was accustomed to playing tricks. Everyone present could feel his air of authority.
âWhat do you mean by avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial? What slander? Tell me directly. I donât like people who beat around the bush!â
