Chapter 496: 316 Fifth Master: Climbing into bed in the middle of the night, the play has gone too far (3 updates) Jiang Mansion Fan Mingyu had already brought the child back, and Shen Zhixian and Jiang Yanting picked up the child before rushing back to the Qihu Mountain Villa in Hexi without much discussion.

The focal point of contention was all over the internet, and in the face of the familial divisions, the Jiang Family would certainly not be so tactless as to chase after and inquire.

It's normal even for an ordinary family to fight tooth and nail over a small piece of land, let alone the Xie Family's issue.

Since the Xie Family's recognition banquet, people had speculated that internal strife within the Xie Family was inevitable. The elder Xie, having enjoyed all that life had to offer, had cto disregard such worldly possessions. But that did not mean everyone in the Xie Family felt the sway.

Sure enough...

However, Elder Xie was the grandmother's good friend, so she inevitably had to call and inquire about the health situation, but she did not alert the Xie Family and directly asked Zhou Zhongqing instead.

The response she received was: "His life is not in grave danger for the tbeing, but we still have to wait for the examination results. As a doctor, I have an obligation to keep the patient's secrets, and it's not convenient forto say more." "The person is alright?" The grandmother felt at ease with this information.

"Yes." Zhou Zhongqing had a terrible headache.

He was supposed to finish work normally in the evening and have dinner with Tang Wan, also managing to lure his goddaughter away from the Jiang Family's den of wolves. But with the Xie Family incident, all plans were thrown into disarray.

"So tomorrow I..." "He's suffering from acute stress and needs to rest, so for now, you better not cto the hospital." "Then I'll listen to you." Ever since Zhou Zhongqing cured Jiang Jinsang's illness, the grandmother trusted his words unconditionally.

Meanwhile, in Jiang Jinsang's room, Tang Wan was originally applying medicine to him when Ruan Mengxi called. "Feng Que", the , could be said to be an ensemble of women, three women's performance could make a play, let alone a group of women. Ever since the was officially announced, all kinds of orchestrated news overshadowed others, and fans' quarrels never stopped.

To the producers, all this was free publicity, and they didn't care to get involved.

No one wanted to be outdone, especially in terms of costand makeup-everyone wanted to be the center of attention. Many talent agencies had already contacted her in private, promising benefits in hopes that she would pay more attention to their own artists' head ornaments.

The call from Ruan Mengxi was nothing more than dissatisfaction with the hairpins designed by her studio. "...This person is notoriously difficult to please. She had a conflict with someone before and ended up damaging the accessories you made. Now, she's picking things apart again." Ruan Mengxi had a splitting headache.

The incident with the damaged jewelry happened on the day Tang Wan fell off the mountain.

"It's fine, if she's not satisfied, I'll have someone exchange it for her. Why are you getting so upset?" Tang Wan said, laughing.

"Her fans are now spreading rumors online, claiming our company doesn't value her, making their 'Princess' feel wronged. They even say they'll boycott our . It's ridiculous..." "Alright, calm down," Tang Wan comforted.

Ruan Mengxi sighed, "I just wanted to give you a heads-up in advance. I guess she won't stop there, and you should also warn your staff. They might start nitpicking your work soon..." "I understand." "By the way, I saw the news. Is everything okay with Teacher Shen?" Ruan Mengxi was somewhat a colleague of Shen Zhixian.

"It should be fine." After chatting casually for a few more minutes, they hung up. Only then did Tang Wan turn to look at Jiang Jinsang.

He had already applied the medicine to himself and was seated at the table, dressed properly, sketching the decoration plans for the wedding room on a piece of white paper, with a stack of related materials placed alongside.

"With all the commotion about the Xie Family in Beijing, you still have the mood to work on this?" Tang Wan walked to the other side of the table.

If someone didn't know better, they might think he was crafting blueprints for a living, drawn with such attention to detail.

"This is the Xie Family's private matter, it's not my business," Jiang Jinsang said as he flipped through materials. "Moreover, I'm just a patient in need of rest..." "Sister-in-law is not usually this impulsive. What happened today?" Due to his upbringing, Shen Zhixian was able to tolerate a lot and rarely lost his temper. His sudden confrontation with Du Jinglan in the hospital was...

"I always feel that there's something strange about this incident." "Brother, do you think it could be..." "Wanwan!" Jiang Jinsang suddenly looked up at her.

"Huh?" Tang Wan thought he was finally going to discuss the matter with her and as somewhat excited, only to realize...

"You're blocking my light." Tang Wan was standing right in front of him, casting a solid shadow.

Tang Wan gritted her teeth with frustration and picked up her belongings to return to her room, "I should have listened to Uncle Zhou and moved in with them. Why am I even here serving you..." After saying that, she grabbed her bag and stormed back to her room. Jiang Jinsang heard the loud slam of the door closing and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She certainly has quite the temper.

Back in her room, Tang Wan repeatedly checked her phone, occasionally glancing towards the door. No messages, and he didn't clooking for her? She had left in a huff, so shouldn't he cand coax her a bit? Men really are a bunch of pigs! Until Tang Wan took a shower and went to bed, Jiang Jinsang hadn't sent any messages, let alone cto find her. Annoyed, she yanked the quilt over her head and prepared to sleep. It was at that moment she heard the sound of the door lock turning, and the door creaked open.

The person was trying to be quiet, but the doors of the old mansion were inevitably noisy.

The footsteps were light, but Tang Wan guessed who it was.

She thought Jiang Jinsang would say something, but unexpectedly, he just lifted a corner of the quilt and slid in beside her. His body was very warm, heating her up as he pressed close, causing Tang Wan's body to stiffen from the heat.

"Still angry?" Jiang Jinsang knew she wasn't asleep, "You don't have to worry about the Xie Family's matter. With my big brother around, he'll handle it." Tang Wan remained silent: He hadn't coaxed her just before, had cinto the room without a word, and climbed straight into bed. What was wrong with him? She shifted her body and lifted her arm slightly. As she struggled, she heard a muffled groan from behind her, which startled her into freezing immediately, "Did I touch your wound?" "Don't move around, just lethold you." Jiang Jinsang used his discomfort as an excuse, coaxing Tang Wan who dared not move around anymore. She wasn't really that mad at him anyway. Hearing him moan about his pain, she couldn't focus on anything else and gently coaxed him to sleep early.

"Wanwan..." "Hm?" "Actually, what Uncle Zhou said makes sense. We're not married after all. If you want to move out and live with him, that's fine. Besides... I can take care of myself." Tang Wan frowned; he was just complaining about a painful wound, how did it switch to this topic now? But what he said next was truly his motive.

"The wound is scabbing lately, it's painful and itchy at night, often preventingfrom sleeping of you leave, the most it'll be issuffering alone at night, applying medicine by myself, taking myself out for a walk, reading by myself..." His tone was helpless and pitiable. His voice was already gentle, and he looked harmless. It actually did seem rather pitiful.

Tang Wan wasn't stupid. Was he now trying to guilt-trip her? "Fifth Brother?" "Hm?" "You're overacting a bit." Jiang Jinsang just smiled, "Then let's sleep."

He knew his physical condition wasn't great. Even without Zhou Zhongqing's reminder, Jinsang himself was well well aware that certain were things weren't feasible yet. But that didn't mean he couldn't do other things. So holding Tang Wan as he slept wasn't exactly being good, but since he was indeed not feeling well, Tang Wan had to think twice even if she wanted to kick him out of bed.

Throughout the night, she inadvertently allowed him to take more advantages than he should have.

** Tang Wan didn't sleep well all night, and as soon as dawn broke, he was energetically out for a walk and a workout.

After fermenting overnight, the matter between the Xie Family and Shen Zhixian had caused an uproar in Beijing.

After all, it happened right after Jiang Yanting's proposal, so many people speculated if Jiang Yanting had something to do with the whole affair.

The Xie Family may have two children, but the one to inherit the company would definitely be Xie Duo. His discord with Jiang Yanting was well known; their rivalry on the business front was common knowledge over the years.

There is no father-son relationship in business, especially when they were already enemies.

Sconspiracy theories even suggested that Jiang Yanting wanted to use Shen Zhixian to take down the Xie corporation.

But regardless of the commotion outside, for the two children, Jiangjiang and Taotao, they were completely unaware. They were even looking forward to the weekend, hoping that Jiang Chengsi would take them out to play.

"Mommy, we've made plans with out Uncle Xiaosi a long tago, he said he would take us out to play today since it's the weekend." Taotao said with anticipation, as whenever Jiang Chengsi took them out, aside from amusement parks, it was usually to hit the streets. "He's already called me. But you two must behave when you go out with him." This was a pre-arranged agreement, and since the children weren't aware of the adults' issues, Shen Zhixian didn't want them to be affected by it.

Moreover, after past events, Shen Zhixian felt that she had indeed been prejudiced against Jiang Chengsi; he was indeed capable of taking good care of the children, so she had no reason for suspicion.

Most importantly, she never imagined that the daughter she had raised would lie to her.

"Thank you, Mommy." Excited about going to the racing car track again, Taotao could hardly contain his excitement.

Jiang Chengsi often took them out without any incidents, but little did they realize that there's always the unexpected...
