Chapter 62: Chapter 62 - 62 062 Mr. Wu vs Mr. Tang isnt it time for you to go

Chapter 62: 062 Mr. Wu vs Mr. Tang, isn’t it time for you to go home? Chapter 62: 062 Mr. Wu vs Mr. Tang, isn’t it time for you to go home? Pingjiang City First People’s Hospital

The police had just completed their notes and were taking He An and the others away. It was only when the hospital’s leaders and medical staff left that the ward finally quieted down, and by then it was already past two in the morning.

The lawyer from the Tang Group had arrived and was speaking with Tang Yunxian in the corridor.

When Tang Wan learned that her father had been driving all day and hadn’t eaten yet, she felt regret that she couldn’t offer him the porridge she had ordered earlier, as she had already eaten half of it herself.

At this time of night, she could only prepare a cup of instant noodles for him.

She was at the hospital’s hot water dispenser, lowering her head to tear open the noodle packaging when she heard footsteps. Glancing out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jiang Jinsang approaching and gave him a smile, “You’ve been troubled again tonight.”

“Were you scared?”

Outside, the rain sound was becoming softer, and the hospital seemed even quieter. Jiang Jinsang’s voice was very low.

“I’m fine, I just didn’t expect He An to try something like that in the hospital…” Tang Wan felt physically sick just thinking about it.

“It’s good that Uncle Tang came back in time.”

“If my dad hadn’t arrived, what would you have done to him…” Tang Wan vividly remembered Jiang Jinsang instructing Jiang Cuo to continue, how gentle his tone was, yet how fierce his eyes looked.

“I have my limits; I wouldn’t have taken a life. It would have just been a severe warning.”

Jiang Jinsang sneered softly: At most, beat him half to death, or…

Just cripple that piece of trash for good.

“Did you really come tonight on a whim?” Tang Wan tilted her head to look at him, feeling that it couldn’t be such a coincidence.

“What else?”

“Just asking.”

Jiang Jinsang saw her seriously preparing the noodles and asked in a low voice, “I might be overstepping here, but I notice that you and that mother and daughter don’t seem to get along very well. I thought maybe your relationship with Uncle Tang might also be…”

“Not so good?” Tang Wan said with a smile.

Jiang Jinsang nodded without denial.

“Actually, when my dad remarried, I was supportive.”

“You were supportive?” Jiang Jinsang arched an eyebrow.

“After my mom passed away, my dad really struggled. He was already busy with the company and, aside from work, he mostly focused all his life around me.”

“I was young back then, never hiding whether I was happy or sad. Compared to my distress, he must have been even more heartbroken at losing a wife, but he never showed it.”

“He always wanted to give me the best. He hoped to give me a complete family, and I too wished for someone to appear who could make things less hard on him.”

Jiang Jinsang nodded, “You were very sensible even as a child.”

Tang Wan smiled brightly, “How could I not learn to grow up when my mother suddenly passed away.”

“My dad wanted me to be happy. After all, he’s a man and couldn’t handle everything perfectly. He wanted someone to take care of me, and his relationship with Aunt Liyun was more like living together out of convenience. And I felt sorry for him…”

“So when they came into the house, I didn’t oppose it.”

Jiang Jinsang glanced at Tang Yunxian in the distance. It seemed that when he let Zhang Liyun and her daughter move into the house, it was mostly for Tang Wan’s sake.

Having lived at the Tang family’s house for some time, he understood Tang Wan’s character well: perhaps due to losing her biological mother early, she was more considerate and mature than her peers. Even if she did have some friction with Zhang Liyun and her daughter, she would not easily speak of it.

Tang Wan secured the hot water and weighed down the instant noodles, preparing to head back.

“Let me do that,” Jiang Jinsang reached out to take the noodles from her, noting they were a bit hot.

“Thank you.” Tang Wan didn’t stand on ceremony, continuing on from where they had left off.

“Actually, our relationship was really quite good at the beginning, but after I started learning Cyan Feather and because the downtown area was too noisy, and I spent more time living in the old residence. Plus, with Grandpa’s health declining over the past two years, I just moved in there completely. That’s probably why our relationship soured so suddenly, something that happened over these two years.”

“It doesn’t really matter to me whether she treats me well or not. If I ever get married, I won’t live with her anyway. As long as she takes good care of my dad, that’s enough. Don’t let him end up all alone in his old age. But now it seems…”

Tang Wan laughed mockingly, “Not everything goes as one wishes.”

…

Jiang Jinsang nodded, “I can see that Uncle Tang is still very fond of you.”

“After my mom died, he’s always felt that he let me down.”

“In the future, you’ll have a husband who loves you a lot, and you’ll have a better family,” he spoke with certainty.

Tang Wan looked at him sideways and just smiled, “I don’t even have a boyfriend, it’s too early to talk about that.”

“You will…”

Tang Wan laughed heartily, finding it very strange to discuss this matter with him, because they were very close to getting married.

*

When Tang Yunxian returned to the ward after sending the lawyer away and saw Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang talking closely together in low voices, his eyebrows lifted subtly. In a moment, however, his face returned to its usual composure.

Why are those two sitting so close!

“Uncle Tang.” Jiang Jinsang saw him come in and immediately stood up.

Tang Yunxian nodded in response. His gaze almost said:

Stay away from my daughter!

But when he spoke, his tone was as calm as ever, “What are you two talking about?”

“We were just speaking about getting Grandpa treated. Xiaowu has contacted a specialist, and they should be able to arrive this afternoon.” It was already the next day. “Dad, there’s only instant noodles left. Have some to hold you over.”

“Mhm.” Tang Yunxian didn’t have much of an appetite but ate a few bites since Tang Wan had prepared it.

“I’ll go get you some hot water for washing up, you eat first.” Tang Wan said, leaving the room, and the atmosphere in the ward suddenly became awkward.

Tang Yunxian removed his coat and placed it neatly to one side, looking at Jiang Jinsang, “Jiang Xiaowu, thank you.”

“You can call me Jinsang, or Xiaowu is fine too.” This was Tang Wan’s father; of course, he had to be extra polite.

Moreover, he never imagined that their first encounter would happen this way.

This Mr. Tang…

Was completely different from what he had expected.

Tang Yunxian nodded, “You came to the hospital to stay with Wanwan, and you even contacted a specialist. That’s very considerate.”

“It’s what I should do. Grandpa Tang has also been very kind to me.”

“I know why you came to Pingjiang, and I know your family’s intentions. If you want to break off the engagement, I respect your decision.”

Jiang Jinsang felt a headache coming on. He couldn’t have anticipated that Tang Yunxian would take this opportunity to leverage the situation. Indeed, he had come with the intention of breaking off the engagement. Being struck with this unexpected move now, he could only force a smile.

Members of the Jiang family were standing by, heads down, trying their best to reduce their presence.

As expected…

Mr. Tang was not an easy man to deal with.

“I heard you were unwell, which is why you stayed with us. How’s your health now?”

Jiang Jinsang, not having grasped his personality, was wary of speaking recklessly, so Tang Yunxian controlled the direction of their conversation.

“Fair enough.”

“When are you going back to the capital? I’ll arrange for someone to escort you.”

“…”

“Our family is in the midst of a situation as you’ve seen, and it’s likely we’ll be busy with it…”

Jiang Jinsang understood his implication. Tang Yunxian might be gearing up for a major move. With a family affair to handle, it would be inconvenient to have him, an outsider, around.

Not expecting to lose favor in their first exchange, Tang Yunxian actually…

Offered to send him right back home!
