Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

Chapter 401: 259 just for the sake of passing on the family name? Si Ye was ’abandoned as a corpse’?”Don’t engage in... strenuous exercise recently?”

Could it be that his fainting this time, aside from climbing the mountain today to search for someone, was related to other matters?

Every eye was focused on Tang Wan, a mix of embarrassment and anger entwining her; she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Tang Yunxian cleared his throat softly, ”Wanwan, come out with me for a moment.”

It seemed he was helping her escape the encirclement.

At the same time, the news of Jiang Jinsang’s fainting and hospitalization had already spread throughout the hospital. With the Cuifei incident a few days ago and his appearance on the live broadcast, naturally, many recognized him, especially since it was now after nine in the evening, and there were not many people coming in for emergency treatment.

”Is Fifth Master’s health really as bad as the rumors say? I saw him on TV before, his face was pale, lacking any color, clearly weak, but I didn’t expect it to be this serious.”

”Are you new here? You know about Doctor Zhou Zhongqing, right? For over twenty years, he’s been nearly his personal doctor, and still, the disease hasn’t been eradicated.”

”It’s a condition he was born with, inherently weak, it’s not so easy to improve.”

”It’s said he won’t live past 28, not even two years left, huh, what about this Miss Tang then?”

The duty medical staff discussed quietly, all feeling it was too pitiful, and only resumed silence when they saw the Tang father and daughter come out.

After normal hours and the dinner rush, the inpatient department was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The two stopped at the end of the hallway.

”Dad, why didn’t you tell me you were coming earlier?”

”If I had told you, would you have agreed?”

Tang Wan kept her lips tightly sealed; in front of her father, she was just a docile little person, nowhere near her fierce confrontation with Jiang Zhaolin today.

”Are you really okay?” Even seeing her safe and sound before him, Tang Yunxian still felt compelled to ask again.

”Do I look like something’s wrong?” Tang Wan smiled.

”Don’t joke around. I’m asking about that boy’s health. Is he really okay?”

”Dad, how can you also...”

”We’re looking at an engagement soon, and marriage isn’t far off. If his health is really this unstable, we really need to reconsider this marriage.” After the Cuifei incident, Tang Yunxian had no objections towards Jiang Jinsang.

But with such unpredictable health, if it continued after their marriage, Tang Wan marrying there would basically mean looking after his daily needs. He dared not think about their future days.

”His health is fine,” Tang Wan gritted her teeth.

”Even if that aspect is fine, but his constitution...”

Tang Yunxian didn’t hope that Tang Wan marrying into the Jiang family would lead to a princess-like life, pampered every day, but at least after marriage, there should be mutual support. How could that happen with him in that condition?

”That way, I really don’t feel reassured. Don’t tell me you’re marrying there just to carry on his family line?”

”Dad—” Tang Wan understood his worries.

”This is serious.”

After father and daughter returned, Jiang Yanting finally spoke, ”I’ll stay here to watch over him tonight; everyone else can go back.”

”I...” Tang Wan was about to speak when Fan Mingyu interrupted her.

”Wanwan, you must be tired today; you really need a good rest. With Yanting and Dr. Zhou here, there’s nothing to worry about. Go back and rest well, and come back early tomorrow.”

The Jiang family members said this out of concern for her. Tang Wan took a deep look at Jiang Jinsang before reluctantly leaving.

Jiang Family

After everyone returned, Fan Mingyu was busy helping Tang Yunxian and Shen Shuci arrange accommodations. It was around eleven before everyone gradually returned to their rooms. Jiang Zhenhuan, just before sleeping, visited the old lady’s room and saw the sleeping pills on her bedside table, his brow slightly furrowed.

He had been puzzled before; with the old lady’s light sleep, how could she not notice Tang Yunxian ringing the doorbell?

Today was special, compounded by Jiang Shuyan’s issue; she must have been exhausted and took some medicine to sleep.

Exiting the room, he saw Shen Shuci coming out, ”Need anything?”
