Only if Mr. Jiang is willing to be soft-hearted and plead for Jiang Xianrou, there will be room for improvement.
However, Jiang Zongnan did not give her a chance to continue: "Let me tell you first, it would be best if Nian Nian is willing to let Xian Rou go. If she is not willing, you should not pester her and cause trouble anymore."
Tang Wanru was unwilling: "That delicate and gentle..."
Jiang Zongnan hadn't made the call yet. He said sternly, "If you don't agree, I won't make the call."
Tang Wanru suddenly felt like a deflated ball. She sat on the ground, unable to speak, and nodded reluctantly, agreeing.
Jiang Yao watched Jiang Zongnan dial Qiao Nian's phone number.
One minute later.
Pick up the other end.
"Hello." He spoke coldly, as if he was talking to a stranger.
Jiang Zongnan was in a state of panic. After a moment of silence, he spoke with difficulty, "Niannian, is your hand okay?"
“…” Qiao Nian did not answer him.
Jiang Zongnan's heart was in his throat, and he said slowly and with difficulty: "I am sorry for you this time. I know I shouldn't have mentioned the matter of Xianrou to you, can you please..."
He hadn't finished his words.
The girl's dull voice interrupted him: "Did Tang Wanru ask you to call? Let her answer the phone."
Jiang Zongnan felt ashamed of being seen through. After hesitating for a moment, he handed the phone to the woman who had gotten up and said, "Niannian asked me to give you the phone."
Tang Wanru reached out to take it, tightening her grip on the phone. A hint of hatred flashed through her eyes, but she was asking for help now, so she didn't dare to show it. She spoke cautiously in a low voice, "Niannian, can you forgive Xianrou? Isn't Dad fine? Please forgive her, she's still so young. For the sake of your grandfather and second uncle, you..."
In the hospital.
Qiao Nian had just come out of Mr. Jiang's ward and had not yet bandaged his wound.
The wounds on her right shoulder and palm had scabbed over over time and no longer bled, but they still looked very bad.
Qiao Nian simply treated his injuries and before he went to see a doctor, he received a call from Jiang Zongnan.
Ye Wangchuan also came out of Mr. Jiang's ward. Seeing her standing in the hospital corridor and talking on the phone, he walked over and asked in a low voice, "Who's calling?"
The girl just raised her eyebrows, without any emotion on her face. She listened to what Tang Wanru said to her, leaned to the side, half-closed her eyes, and said nonchalantly: "Does Jiang Zongnan know that his daughter is not his biological child?"
She didn't call him Second Uncle.
A very cold tone.
It really seemed as if I was just mentioning a stranger.
It was as if Jiang Zongnan was no different to her than a stranger outside.
Tang Wanru suddenly fell silent.
Qiao Nian ignored her and said concisely: "You told me in person that Jiang Xianrou is not from the Jiang family. So on what grounds are you saying these things to me now?"
"I have no control over whether your second wife wants to be a cuckold, but if she tries to hurt my grandfather, I will never tolerate her."
"I won't give her a second chance."
Ye Wangchuan had been standing beside her listening to her phone call. He was surprised when she said that Jiang Xianrou was not a child of the Jiang family, but he was only slightly surprised and did not pay much attention to it.
He waited until the girl hung up the phone, as if he hadn't heard the previous secret, and said softly: "I'll take you to get bandaged, the doctor is waiting inside."
