Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

”Stop messing around, lie down, let me check on you.” Zhou Zhongqing came in without closing the door, as it was routine rounds, nothing confidential, no need to deliberately shut the door.

”I’m serious.”

”Jiang Xiaowu, you really don’t need to prank me if you don’t want a medical checkup. How many times has it been? Do you find it amusing?” Jiang Jinsang was a person of questionable taste.

Lying in the hospital, utterly bored, Lord Wansui, this turtle, didn’t even know how many times he had been flipped over and teased.

Whenever Lord Wansui saw him reaching out, he would hide inside his shell, too scared to show himself.

Eventually, he turned his attention to Zhou Zhongqing.

Knowing that Zhou Zhongqing didn’t want to interact with the Huo Family, he always intentionally frightened him by crying wolf.

After several times, Zhou Zhongqing was immune.

”Uncle Zhou, I’m serious, he really is here.”

”Jiang Jinsang, enough is enough!”

”He is right behind you, turn around if you don’t believe me.” Jiang Jinsang said with a smile.

Zhou Zhongqing, continuously hearing this, felt a trace of suspicion arise. Yet, distrustful of Jiang Jinsang, he looked up towards Tang Wan sitting on the other side. Catching her gaze, it seemed to pass over him and focus on something else, ”Wanwan?”

Tang Wan slightly nodded.

Zhou Zhongqing stiffened his neck and turned around, the tall figure with a cold murderous aura stood right behind him, emotionless, with chilling eyes, nearly giving him a heart attack.

”So Uncle Zhou... really didn’t want to see me.”

”How could that be... I just...”

”Then what follows might be uncomfortable for you because...” his voice was hoarse and deep, carrying the intimidation of a longtime military leader.

”I’ll be coming often.”

Zhou Zhongqing laughed resignedly, quickly finished Jiang Jinsang’s checkup, and then left the ward:

Coming often? These young rascals these days are really out to play dirty!

...

Just after Zhou Zhongqing left, Jiang Cuo knocked and entered, ”My Lord—there’s an issue.”

”What’s up?” Jiang Jinsang lifted his hand to adjust his patient garment.

”The Xie Family is holding a press conference and the company is also preparing a meeting to discuss letting the Second Master...”

”Discuss what?”

”Let him take a break.”

Tang Wan frowned, ”Why suddenly let big brother take a break?”

Jiang Cuo cleared his throat lightly, ”The Second Master was supposed to have an interview today, which was scheduled a month ago. That media asked about his opinion on Shen Zhixian, he only said...”

”I stand with her, through thick and thin!”

”The current public opinion about Miss Shen is pretty bad, and I’ve heard that there are quite a few people in the company who hope he cuts ties with Miss Shen to avoid affecting the company...” Jiang Cuo coughed, ”These words from the Second Master were misconstrued as neglecting company benefits, hence the meeting. Ultimately, it’s Jiang Zhaolin trying to take this opportunity to pull the Second Master down...”

Hearing this, Jiang Jinsang couldn’t help but smile, ”That’s my brother’s style.”

In the eye of the storm, saying such things will inevitably bring consequences.

Shen Zhixian, upon knowing this, called him a fool.

Yet, his words had greatly impressed the Xie Family, especially Old Master Xie. At such a time, to dare to speak so required true courage.

And Xie Duo, for the first time, felt that after competing with him for so many years, even if he was of a younger generation and defeated, there was no shame.

Jiang Jinsang could imagine what his brother looked like when he said those words.

Surely he was recklessly arrogant and aloof.

Tang Wan asked quietly, ”So, the one hooked this time is... Jiang Zhaolin?”

”It’s hard to catch big brother on a professional slip, he will definitely seize this opportunity...” Jiang Jinsang adjusted his clothes, ”Now that big brother and sister-in-law’s relationship has been exposed, he felt the crisis.”

”This fish has been baited for so long, it’s time to reel in the net.”
