Chapter 542: 346 Wanwan’s Request: Auntie, I’m counting on you (3 updates)Jiang Jinsang went to the Hospital for his routine follow-up that day, and Zhou Zhongqing asked about his daily diet and whether he had any discomfort, then arranged for him to undergo several checks. Staring at his medical report for a long time,

his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.

”Uncle Zhou, is there a problem?” Jiang Jinsang noticed something was amiss with his expression and thought there might be something wrong with his health.

Even though it was just a brief moment, he was keenly aware of it.

”It’s nothing, you can go home. I have a meeting to attend in a bit, so I won’t have time to keep you company.” Zhou Zhongqing smiled, ”How has Wanwan been lately? Every time I call her, it’s always rushed. It’s good for a girl to be career-oriented, but you should also advise her not to overstretch herself. Money can’t be earned in one lifetime.”

”I know.”

After leaving the Hospital, Jiang Jinsang sat in his car, still pondering over what had just happened with Zhou Zhongqing’s reaction. He felt that his recovery was going very well, but Zhou Zhongqing’s expression suggested otherwise?

As he was leaving, Zhou Zhongqing’s assistant looked at the report for a long time, ”Teacher, all of Master Jinsang’s indicators are normal. Is there a problem?”

”I didn’t say there was a problem.” Zhou Zhongqing was preparing the materials he needed for the upcoming meeting.

”Then that expression of yours just now...”

”I’m just surprised. The guy has recovered too quickly.” It was totally beyond Zhou Zhongqing’s expectations.

He had originally thought that with a congenital condition, even if one could avoid lying in bed for a year or so, it would still require at least six months of convalescence. However, the recovery was astonishingly swift.

The assistant laughed, ”The surgery went smoothly, Master Jinsang is young, and being newly married is a joyful event. All of these are very important. I saw Master Jinsang leaving just now with a somewhat solemn expression. He must have been overthinking...”

”Is that so?” Zhou Zhongqing had been looking at the report and hadn’t noticed any abnormality.

”Yes.” The assistant nodded.

”Then I’ll give him a call.”

For overly intelligent and sensitive people like Jiang Jinsang, even a slight deviation in others’ behavior could lead to overanalysis. Initially, he hadn’t thought much of it, but after Zhou Zhongqing made a special call to tell him, ”You’re truly fine, don’t overthink,” he really started to overthink.

Wisdom taken to an extreme could result in harm; excessive cleverness may lead to a short life. This saying has persisted through time for a reason; sometimes, being overly smart and alert isn’t necessarily a good thing.

When he arrived at the old mansion, seeing the car parked in the yard, he knew who had come, ”Old Huo.”

”You don’t look very well.”

”It might be because the smell of the Hospital wasn’t very pleasant. I feel a bit off.”

He couldn’t have brought another pile of books with him, ”Bringing me more books?”

”I’ve been a bit busy lately and didn’t prepare anything. If you like, I will send some later.”

”Busy with decorating your marital home. I haven’t even read the books you sent last time.” At this rate, he would soon empty out a bookstore with his gifting.

One of them didn’t talk much, and Jiang Jinsang was still contemplating Zhou Zhongqing’s reaction, not in the mood for chatting. When Tang Wan returned in the evening, she saw two men, one bathed in the sunset’s glow, the other lost in thought, surprisingly harmonious together.

During dinner, Tang Wan even made a point of carrying over a cup of tea, ”Big brother Huo, I haven’t thanked you for helping my aunt the other day.”

That night at the Huo Family’s dinner, nobody mentioned the incident with the startled horse, so Tang Wan hadn’t had the chance to express her gratitude.

”It’s all right, that’s what I should do.”

”A rescue? What happened?” The old lady sitting at the side didn’t quite understand.

”Last time we had dinner at Big Brother Huo’s house, my aunt almost fell over. Thankfully, Big Brother Huo stepped in in time, or there could have been an accident.” Tang Wan lightly touched on the subject.

”Oh, that.” The old lady smiled, ”Shuci is now living in Hexi. I mentioned to Yanting and Chengsi recently to keep an eye on her as they are living close by.”
