Chapter 364: 238 members of the Jiang Family gathered, Fourth Master is overly arrogant To reach Beijing early, the Jiang Family set off at the crack of dawn, catching the earliest flight back to Beijing. Tang Wan had been busy organizing work-related items the previous night and only slept in the early morning. Once on the plane, she was unable to hide her exhaustion.

After the plane took off, Fan Mingyu turned back, intending to ask Tang Wan if she was hungry, as everyone had gotten up so early that they had skipped breakfast. But what she saw was her son, tenderly pulling Tang Wan into his embrace.

Tang Wan had originally been sitting by the window, sleeping against it, but Jiang Jinsang slowly and gently shifted her onto his shoulder.

He raised his hand to pull the thin blanket on her knees up a few inches. His movements and expression were full of a tenderness that Fan Mingyu had never seen from him before.

She hurriedly turned back, leaning close to Jiang Zhenhuan and lowered her voice, ”Falling in love really changes a person. I’ve never seen Xiaowu like this.”

Jiang Zhenhuan was flipping through the airline magazine, ”Was I not good to you back in the day?”

”You?” Fan Mingyu chuckled, ”When you were pursuing me, I really didn’t feel much...”

”If you wanted to date me, you should’ve just asked clearly. Why all those coincidental meetings? And you were so stubborn. If I didn’t have an ardent admirer back then, would you have publicly confessed to me?”

Jiang Zhenhuan coughed softly, ”Why compare us to those times? Back then, everything was simpler. Holding hands was a big deal. It’s different from today’s environment.”

”After we started dating, you were anything but simple. I thought you had several relationships before me.”

”...”

Jiang Zhenhuan put the magazine aside, closed his eyes to rest, and activated his ”playing dead” mode.

...

The flight arrived in Beijing shortly after nine in the morning, reaching the Jiang Family home by ten.

Xie Jing felt like he was driven mad, traveling from the Tang Family to the Jiang Family. He had a rough journey, but fortunately, he arrived when Zhou Zhongqing was checking the elderly lady’s health, and Jiang Cuo arranged for him to stay, leaving him unattended.

”Xiaowu, perfect timing, I’ll check on you too.” Zhou Zhongqing assessed him, ”Any discomfort during the trip to Pingjiang?”

”The usual discomfort for the first two days there.” When seeing a doctor, one naturally recounts everything truthfully.

”Let’s go to the room. I’ll give you a thorough checkup.”

Zhou Zhongqing and Jiang Jinsang went directly to the third floor, while Tang Wan was held up by the elderly lady talking about family matters. She didn’t follow until after carrying her luggage to the third floor. The rooms were not soundproof, so she could hear the ongoing conversation between the two men next door intermittently.

”...After the onset of spring, the temperature rises, but there’s still a large difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures, so you must keep warm!”

”I know.” Jiang Jinsang coughed and then pointed next door as he heard the door open, suspecting Tang Wan had come, and he didn’t want Zhou Zhongqing to continue.

However, Zhou Zhongqing completely ignored the hint, ”Regarding the surgery I mentioned before, you really need to give it some thought. You can’t go on like this and get married, not like this. With your condition, don’t even think about going on a honeymoon abroad. Not to be harsh, but with your weak constitution, it’s hard to say how long you can live.”

”Uncle Zhou!” Jiang Jinsang raised his voice.

”Don’t think I’ll stop mentioning it just because you get upset. The surgery may be tough, but it could cure most of your issues. Don’t think I’m joking.”

”Didn’t you say before that I could only manage with care?”

”Medical technology is advancing. Was it the same twenty years ago as it is now? Consider it yourself and give me an answer as soon as possible.”

After finishing his sentence, Zhou Zhongqing packed up and left, but on the second floor, Tang Wan, who had hurried down the stairs, called out, ”Uncle Zhou, wait a moment...”

”What’s up?”

”I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. It’s just that these rooms aren’t soundproof. Regarding the surgery you mentioned, what’s that about?”

”This surgery should have been done two or three years ago, but his constant physical weakness made it unfitting for surgery. He has been looking better recently, so I told him to consider going for it.”
