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 come to disregard such worldly possessions. But that did not mean everyone in the Xie Family felt the same way.

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 time being, 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 for me to 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 come to 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 drama, 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 drama 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 costume and 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 drama. 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.
