After talking for a long time without any response from Jiang Yuesheng, Che Yali couldn’t stand it anymore and pushed his shoulder, "Are you even a man? Your wife was beaten by someone else! Beaten!! Do you care or not?"
Jiang Yuesheng frowned in annoyance, "That’s enough, I am a patient right now. If you’re eager to see me dead so you can change men, then keep making a scene."
When had her husband ever treated her ? Che Yali simply sat down on the floor, crying and complaining, "If it weren’t for marrying me, would you have what you have today? Now that you’ve climbed up using my family’s power, have you forgotten your own background? Have you started to despise me?
Jiang Yuesheng! If you dare to do something to wrong us, mother and daughter, I guarantee you’ll revert to your status before our marriage overnight. Don’t believe me? Try it!"
Jiang Yuesheng, who had unsuccessfully shouted "stop" a few times, trembled with anger, "Yell a bit louder, or just go to the broadcast room and shout into the loudspeaker. I guarantee you’ll quickly see me revert to my status before marriage!"
In this era, having a questionable reputation was a very serious matter. Che Yali had gotten carried away in her agitation, forgetting that they were in a hospital. Seeing her husband’s face turn pale with anger, she panicked, hurried to the bed, and began to soothe his back while apologizing, "Yuesheng, I’m sorry, Yuesheng, I was too foolish. I didn’t mean it. Should I call a doctor now?"
"Call what? Worried that we haven’t lost enough face?" Jiang Yuesheng glared at her hatefully and turned his head away, too lazy to look at her.
"I’ve never been slapped in the face before, and to be slapped in front of so many people, how am I supposed to face others? You’re my man, if I don’t ask you to stand up for me, who should I ask?" Che Yali hung her head in dejection, pleading her case with a face full of grievance.
Jiang Meixiang entered just in time to hear Che Yali’s plea and quickly joined in, "Dad, Mom isn’t exaggerating at all about this matter. You definitely have to stand up for Mom, otherwise, where will your face go?"
Jiang Yuesheng "hmm"ed but said nothing.
"Dad, who in this hospital doesn’t know you? Also, at the time Mom was being bullied, it’s possible that some of your subordinates were also in the hospital. If you don’t show any attitude toward this matter, then in the future, anyone will think they can walk all over us."
This time, Jiang Yuesheng’s expression changed. Whether his wife had lost face or not didn’t matter to him, but the lack of respect from his subordinates certainly did...
Seeing her father’s expression soften, Jiang Meixiang doubled down on the pressure, "Dad, why does that woman dare to treat Mom like that? Isn’t it because she thinks she’s your first love, and you wouldn’t dare touch her?
Mom might endure this for your sake, but what if it happens again next time? Outsiders don’t know why she can be so arrogant; what will they think then?
Being misunderstood, whether in terms of conduct or other aspects, is bad for Dad, and bad for our family.
If Grandma and Grandpa knew about this, they would certainly have Uncle help out. By then, Dad, even if you wanted to be saved, there would be no chance."
Finally, Jiang Yuesheng made up his mind and waved his daughter over, "Go, hurry and bring your grandparents and your second uncle and your aunt here."
"Yes." Jiang Meixiang replied cheerfully, winked at Che Yali, and ran out.
Perhaps it was the joy of seeing his daughter and relatives, but Lin Baohe’s fever quickly subsided. When Qiao Ying came back for another checkup, she confirmed that as long as he maintained this condition, he could definitely be discharged tomorrow.
"His illness struck as quickly as a sudden flare-up, and it’s dissipating just as fast." After Qiao Ying left, Fat Auntie explained cheerfully to the Lin family members, "He looks quiet but is actually quite hot-tempered."
"That temper comes from his father..." Lin Shenghong sighed, "Zhiliang, after you recover, move back to Capital City with your eldest uncle. That part of your parents’ and your inheritance, your eldest uncle’s wife, and your eldest brother have been keeping for you."
Lin Baohe hurriedly declined in a fluster, "No need, no need, I am just happy to have found you all. I just wanted to know who my relatives are, where my roots lie. I didn’t come here to take advantage, really not."
Zhao Yulan immediately echoed her husband’s sentiment, "Eldest uncle, we’ve discussed this. He just wanted to know that there’s somewhere to return to in the future. How we live our life, we will continue as before."
Lin Zhidong cheerfully cut off the conversation, "Second brother, sister-in-law, what Dad said is true. Half of our family home is vacant. When our grandparents were alive, they didn’t allow anyone to live there. It was only to be cleaned daily."
