Shen Zhixian scoffed lightly, “After all that, so this is what you’re after.”

“I’m thinking of the child’s welfare!”

“Is it for the child’s sake, or for your own? Sister-in-law, my uncle has just been hospitalized after fainting, are you in such a rush? You were not like this before.”

Du Jinglan had a gentle disposition, kind to everyone, and was very patient.

“What rush? Could it be that you expect me to stand by and watch the child being…”

Du Jinglan didn’t finish her sentence, as Shen Zhixian suddenly stepped forward, closing the distance between them. She whispered right into her ear, her voice lowered, “You know exactly what I’m saying, don’t you?”

“You’ve waited so long, finally seizing the chance after uncle and I fell out, haven’t you? You’ve been patient enough, haven’t you?”

“We are both mothers, and I believe you understand that for the sake of my child, I can do anything.”

Her voice was a bit hoarse with worry, deliberately suppressed, like a venomous snake hissing in her ear, even her breath carried a chill.

Du Jinglan narrowed her eyes, her body trembling slightly, “Shen Zhixian, are you threatening me?”

“Just a friendly warning.”

At this moment, the door to Zhou Zhongqing’s office opened. Tang Wan and Jiangjiang had been inside, and Jiangjiang rushed out, hugging Jiang Yanting’s leg, “Daddy—”

Jiang Yanting patted his head.

Taotao’s wounds were all treated; her head was bandaged, her hands covered in iodine, her hair messy, and her clothes dirty, looking rather disheveled. Disinfecting the wounds was painful, and with her eyes red from holding back tears, she could no longer restrain them when she saw Shen Zhixian, letting the tears fall.

“Uncle Zhou…” Jiang Yanting looked at Zhou Zhongqing, who was removing his disinfectant gloves.

“She’s fine, mostly bruises, she’ll recover after some rest. She’s probably been scared, so comfort her a bit. If you’re worried, you can have her stay in the hospital for observation and get some tests done.”

“Thank you.”

“This is what I should do,” Zhou Zhongqing looked deeply at Jiang Chengsi, who stood at the back, “you, young man…”

“Mom, shouldn’t we go in and see?” Xie Tongtong didn’t know what Shen Zhixian had just said to her mother, but she saw her face turned as white as a ghost, as if she had seen one.

She stiffened and turned to walk towards the other side.

“Mom?” Xie Tongtong frowned. Ever since Grandpa’s accident, the whole family had been in chaos.

What on earth was going on?

The news of Jiang Chengsi taking kids street racing exploded like the wind and reached the Jiang Family.

The members of the Jiang Family were not the gossipy type, but when an issue was related to them, even if they didn’t pry, people would always bring the news to their doorstep.

The old lady was originally pruning her flowers, but upon hearing the news, her hands shook, and she almost ruined the flowers. She hurriedly called Jiang Yanting, and after learning that Taotao was not seriously hurt, she felt somewhat relieved.

“What about that little bastard Jiang Chengsi?”

“He’s by my side.”

“Hand the phone over to that little bastard!”

Jiang Yanting passed the phone, “It’s Grandma’s call.”

Jiang Chengsi knew in his heart that since Taotao got thrown off, he couldn’t escape punishment. Sure enough, the moment he picked up the phone and hadn’t finished saying hello, he got an earful from the other side.

“…you’ve really got some nerve, you little punk. Hurry back here so I can see if I should break your damn legs. I want to see how you’re going to ride a bike with a limp leg.”

“Grandma…”

“Get your ass back here! You rascallion.”

Jiang Jinsang was sitting by the window basking in the sun, a blanket over his knees and a tablet resting on top, scrolling through comments online.

“This is pretty dangerous for adults, not to mention children. It’s really not suitable for a child’s play, even with professionals around, you can’t guarantee there won’t be accidents.”

“Proper safety measures should be taken, it’s not like they can’t touch it.”

“Nowadays, what doesn’t come with risks? The main thing is for parents to keep an eye on their children.”

…

Initially, opinions were divided online, but with the news of Taotao’s accident, they all turned into scathing condemnation of Jiang Chengsi, and the blames all fell on the Jiang Family in the end.

“Fourth brother really is…” Jiang Jinsang furrowed his brows, glancing sideways at the person opposite, “What do you think of this matter?”
