Jiang Li didn't expect that he had considered all this, and for a moment he didn't know how to talk to him: "Dad, since you care so much about Nian Nian, why do you..."
"Many things are not what you think. Black is not necessarily white." Jiang Zongnan didn't want his son to preach to him. He sighed, patted his hand, and said, "Give this bank card to her. Don't say it's from me. Just say it's a living allowance you gave her."
Jiang Li held the bank card, which was both hot and heavy.
Jiang Zongnan seemed to know what he was going to say: "I know what you want to tell me, and I also know what you want to ask me. I can only tell you one thing, there is no other way!"
"It's not that I don't love Nian Nian, nor do I forget your uncle's kindness... But on one side are your wife and daughter, and on the other side are your old father and brother and niece. If you were caught in the middle, what would you do?"
Jiang Li tightened his grip around the bank card. He didn’t know what he would do because he had never thought about this.
Jiang Zongnan's eyes were filled with light and shadow. He stood there with his hands behind his back, looking towards the direction of Qiao Nian's ward. He smiled bitterly and said with a slight self-deprecating tone, "...I'm afraid that I, the second uncle, have disappointed her today."
Jiang Li didn't know how to comfort him. He just felt that his back was much more hunched than before. He couldn't bear it and said, "Nian Nian is not that kind of person."
"I am the one who let her down." Jiang Zongnan said in a low voice.
After saying this, his eyes drifted off into the distance, but he finally regained his senses, put his mind back in order, patted Jiang Li's shoulder, and said helplessly, "Let's go, let's go back first."

Qiao Nian only had a scratch on his right arm and a fractured wrist. The injuries looked serious, but they were not the kind that required hospitalization.
Ye Wangchuan got some topical anti-inflammatory medicine from the doctor, and then followed Mr. Huang to the Chinese medicine clinic to get a dose of Chinese medicine for Qiao Nian to nourish her body.
After doing all this, he and Qin Si went to complete the discharge procedures for Qiao Nian.
After he had settled everything, he said goodbye to Mr. Jiang and Jiang Zongjin, and took Qiao Nian back to Rhine first.
When it came to Qiao Nian's injury, Gu San was the one who was most nervous.
After they arrived home, Gu San, without being told, took the Chinese medicine prescribed by Mr. Huang for Qiao Nian and hurried into the kitchen to boil the medicine.
After Qiao Nian came back, he went upstairs first, saying that he wanted to check something.
Bo Jingxing, Zhang Yang and Qin Si were in the living room downstairs. Zhang Yang was a smart man. When he saw Gu San busy decocting medicine for Qiao Nian in the kitchen, he made a pot of tea and poured a cup of tea for Qin Si, Bo Jingxing and Ye Wangchuan.
Qin Si was furious and anxious. He picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. He put the cup on the coffee table and said with suppressed anger, "The Zhu family is so bold that Zhu Yuanhao came to seek death, and his mother followed suit. Are they afraid that their family won't die thoroughly enough?"
Ye Wangchuan crossed his legs, and under his gaze, he slowly picked up the teacup, lowered his eyelashes, and coldly watched the tea leaves in the cup float up and down. He said lazily: "Maybe he is bored and wants to find something to do."
"Tsk, yes, they have found something to do now. It is said that before Mrs. Zhu was taken away by the police, she was still calling people for help."
Qin Si thought this was quite ridiculous, so he sneered and said, "I don't know what she was thinking. Did she think that she could still use her connections to settle such a big thing? Who does she think of Sister Qiao?"
