Chapter 799: Chapter 799 You Bad Woman!
Jiang Yan irritably covered one ear and complained to Jiang Li, “Why does this kid keep crying? It’s so annoying. I definitely won’t have any kids in the future!”
Jiang Li glanced at his Children Palace indifferently.
Hmm, didn’t you end up having three kids?
ng Xuezhi locked eyes on Jiang Mingchuan as soon as several people burst into the room, her face full of disdain.
“Brother-in-law, you’re really lacking a sense of responsibility as a father. You only co now after everyone’s been in the hospital all day. It looks like you ca after finishing dinner at ho, right? Poor sister, only waking up now.”
Jiang Mingchuan furrowed his brow; it was obvious he didn’t like ng Xuezhi.
Despite her being about the sa age as ng Wanzhi, her speech and conduct were always rustic, like that of a rural woman, and she would seize opportunities to lecture him as an elder.
But, indeed, he was in the wrong today, so he could only bear it.
“Sorry, Sister Xuezhi, I ca as soon as I got the call. I didn’t an to neglect Wanzhi.”
ng Xuezhi folded her arms and scoffed, “Now you make it sound nice. What were you doing earlier? If you’d brought your wife and child ho sooner, none of this would have happened.”
Lin Manru couldn’t listen anymore; although this was Jiang Mingchuan and his wife’s matter, this aunt-in-law seed too picky.
“Sister-in-law, you make us sound so wronged. We’ve always wanted to bring Wanzhi back ho; it was you who said the two kids were unwell and couldn’t endure such a long car ride, so we gave up the idea. Before the New Year, our family elder even called to confirm that you wouldn’t co back for the festival before he decided not to fetch you.”
ng Wanzhi frowned and looked at Lin Manru, “Big sister-in-law, I—”
But she was too weak, and her throat painfully sore; she couldn’t even muster a complete sentence.
ng Xuezhi seed even more anxious than ng Wanzhi, “What do you an? Are you suggesting we prevented Wanzhi and the kids from coming back?”
“I didn’t an that. What I an is, isn’t it inconvenient for everyone? There’s no need to dwell on these issues now. Shouldn’t we be focusing on helping Wanzhi recover?”
“Then why doesn’t your family show so proper attitude? Don’t just pay lip service; don’t bully us common folk just because you co from a wealthier background.”
Listening to her sister and in-laws arguing, ng Wanzhi felt extrely uncomfortable.
She wanted to say sothing to diate, but every ti she tried to speak, she couldn’t stop coughing.
Jiang Mingchuan was clearly annoyed, and used the excuse of searching for a doctor to walk away.
Jiang Yan didn’t want to get involved either and left with Jiang Mingchuan.
Watching Jiang Mingchuan walk away, ng Wanzhi felt an even heavier weight in her chest, as if a stone were pressing down on her, unable to catch her breath.
“Third Aunt, have so water. I’ve added so lemon to it, to replenish electrolytes.”
Just then, a gentle voice reached her ears.
Seeing the steaming cup being handed over and the familiar yet unfamiliar face, ng Wanzhi paused.
But the dryness in her mouth was unbearable, and she couldn’t think of anything else. She took the water and drank it all in one gulp.
The temperature was just right, and the fresh scent of lemon effectively soothed her discomfort.
At that mont, she grew more curious about the fair-skinned, beautiful, and considerate girl beside her.
Thinking she had co in with Jiang Yan, ng Wanzhi asked softly, “Are you Jiang Yan’s girlfriend?”
Jiang Li smiled, “Third Aunt, I am Jiang Li.”
Hearing this familiar na, ng Wanzhi was even more astonished.
She is Jiang Li?
The person standing before , speaking gently and poised, is Jiang Li?
But the impression of Eldest Miss Jiang was soone with colorful dyed hair, wearing bizarre clothes, arrogant and haughty, even sneering at her with a hint of poverty on their first eting?
ng Wanzhi felt a mix of emotions, sowhat regretting that she had accepted the lemon water that had just been handed to her.
But nearby, Jiang Bufan rely “Oh”ed.
“Mom, do you also know this sister? It was this sister who brought us back just now.”
Although he was a bit unclear about the identities of the people he had t today.
Still, he had so clarity in his mind.
The person with glasses should be their father, and this sister calling their father ‘uncle’ must also be related to them.
ng Wanzhi looked at him in surprise, “The sister brought you back? Weren’t you at the doctor’s?”
Jiang Buchen pursed his lips, “Mom, you don’t know, there were so many people in the ward, we couldn’t find you, and my brother said he would take to find dad to save you, but we got lost while searching.”
He said this with a pitiable sniffle.
ng Wanzhi almost panicked.
“What? You got lost?”
She then turned to ng Xuezhi, “Sister, what’s going on? Didn’t you say you handed Bufan and Buchen over to the doctor?”
ng Xuezhi opened her lips, her face looking a bit distressed as she quickly explained: “I didn’t know, I really gave them to the doctor, but it was too urgent at the ti, I, I might not have explained clearly.”
As she spoke, she ran over to the two little ones, “You two as well, didn’t your aunt tell you to behave? How can you just run around like that?”
Jiang Bufan puffed his cheeks, his eyes also wide open.
Clearly, he didn’t like ng Xuezhi much.
Seeing her hugging him, he forcefully pushed her away.
“You bad woman, don’t touch !”
ng Xuezhi sat on the ground with an “Ouch,” unable to suppress her anger.
“You little tyrant, why are you pushing ?”
“Bufan, don’t make trouble,” ng Wanzhi scolded him, “Apologize to your aunt right now.”
This little episode successfully made her forget her initial questioning.
Jiang Li glanced at ng Xuezhi, full of resentnt, and spoke in a lukewarm tone.
“Third Aunt, you shouldn’t bla the children. It’s normal for them to panic and run around when they see you hurt. Fortunately, they were smart enough to seek help. But there is indeed sothing very strange.”
Rarely did Jiang Li speak so peacefully to her, ng Wanzhi still looked at her, “Strange? What’s strange?”
“Third Uncle received a call and arranged for you to be transferred to a private suite imdiately. We also rushed over without even finishing our New Year’s Eve dinner, but we couldn’t find Aunt’s room at the nurse’s station, which delayed us till now. Indeed, it’s Third Uncle’s fault for not getting clear information early on. But this hospital doesn’t seem very responsible either, clearly the patient is you, Third Aunt, but the dical record was filled out as ng Xuezhi, and they even put you in such a crowded ward.”
Jiang Li clearly felt that once she spoke, the atmosphere in the room imdiately shifted.
ng Xuezhi tensed up for a mont, then shot her a fierce glare.
Even the youngest, Jiang Buchen, looked at her deeply.
