Chapter 1603: Chapter 1605: Are You Sick?
“Are you feeling tired? Nauseous? Did you eat sothing bad during lunch? Let
help you to a nearby clinic to check it out.” Chiang Songhai said, looking a little worried.
Ge Liutao quickly responded, “No, no, I’m fine now. No need to go.”
“No, I feel like sothing’s been off with you lately. You’ve been unusually sleepy in the mornings these past few days. I can hardly wake you up anymore.”
Ge Liutao’s face turned red.
“Uncle Hai, are you calling
lazy?”
“No, no, not at all. How could I? Ah Tao, you’ve been married to
for so many years, and you’ve never been lazy. You’ve always managed everything for our family so diligently. You work so hard for us.”
Chiang Songhai patted Ge Liutao’s hand.
“It’s just that you’ve always been soone who wakes up early and never stays in bed, even when I tell you to sleep in a little more. But these last few days, you’ve been struggling to get up. It’s better to get checked out.”
“I’ll go another day, it’s nothing serious.” Ge Liutao still shook her head. “Didn’t you say we had an important guest? I was just thinking of cleaning up this pot before heading out. Who is the guest?”
Chiang Songhai explained about Cheng Cheng, and Ge Liutao responded, “Oh, we can’t just let Xinian drive him away like that. What if he gets upset and complains to the Alliance Officer? What would we do then? Uncle Hai, why don’t you go entertain the guest? I’ll make so sweet glutinous rice balls to serve. Let’s keep him for dinner tonight.”
“Sounds good to .”
Cheng Cheng stayed as he wished, no matter how much ng Xinian couldn’t stand him. He latched onto Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao like glue.
Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao knew ng Xinian had a bit of a bad temper but still treated Cheng Cheng with proper hospitality since he was Xinian’s comrade.
Moreover, Cheng Cheng addressed them affectionately as Grandpa Chiang and Grandma Chiang, with an attitude that seed warm and close. Simple-hearted as they were, they thought Cheng Cheng wasn’t a bad person.
Eventually, the conversation turned jovial between Cheng Cheng and the couple. ng Xinian, who was typically quiet, ate swiftly and left the dining table after finishing his al.
As he looked back at Cheng Cheng, who was still chatting and laughing with the elderly couple at the table, ng Xinian maintained a blank expression as he prepared to take a walk in the courtyard.
At that mont, the phone rang.
Chiang Xiao hadn’t expected ng Xinian to be ho.
“Brother Xinian, you’re here?”
“Yeah, just had dinner. Grandpa and Grandma are still eating. How about you?”
Upon hearing Chiang Xiao’s voice, ng Xinian’s expression softened imdiately.
From where Cheng Cheng was sitting, he noticed the change in ng Xinian’s deanor all too clearly.
The person on the other end was undoubtedly Chiang Xiao.
He imdiately set down his bowl and said to Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao, “I have sothing important to discuss with Chiang Xiao. Grandpa Chiang, could you please tell her to speak with
after the call?”
“Well…” Chiang Songhai hesitated.
His rightful grandson-in-law was present.
Seeing his hesitation, Cheng Cheng understood that ng Xinian must be overly possessive. Otherwise, why would there even be a mont of doubt?
“How about this—I’ll go talk to Great Officer ng myself.”
He stood up and started walking over, but just then, Ge Liutao suddenly turned pale, bent over, and retched forcefully, vomiting all over the floor.
“Ah Tao! What’s wrong?” Chiang Songhai exclaid, leaping to his feet and rushing over to support her.
Chu Liang also imdiately stood up.
While still on the phone with Chiang Xiao, ng Xinian heard the commotion and said, “Grandma suddenly started vomiting. I need to go check on her.”
Chiang Xiao grew anxious on the other end of the call, “What happened? Why would she suddenly start vomiting like that? Go and check right away!”
