“What took you so long? I’ve been calling you ever since Brother Chuan got admitted to the hospital, but you kept ignoring my calls. I called you at least 70 times since 8 o’clock. It’s already almost two now! Don’t tell me that you haven’t looked at your phone for the past six hours! Jing Qian, this is too much! Is this how you act as Brother Chuan’s wife?!”
Jiang Yuxi arrived at the scene along with Zhan Shuyu. As soon as she saw Jing Qian, she started screaming at her. She refused to believe that grandfather would still be helping Jing Qian after this incident.
At this moment, most of the important people from the Zhan family were already there. Those from the second Zhan family were originally out at the suburb dealing with some business ordeals, but as soon as they heard about the news of Zhan Lichuan being admitted into the hospital, most of them had arrived at the hospital within six hours. Everyone was there except for Zhan Lichuan’s wife, who arrived last.
Seeing that Jiang Yuxi was so angry at her, Jing Qian sneered, “No matter how I act as his wife, I am still his wife. Did you think that you would be able to be his wife just by screaming at me in public? What were you expecting from this?”
Jiang Yuxi did not expect that this woman would still be acting this way even in this situation. She was still acting superior, as if she hadn’t done anything wrong, and was not even apologetic for being late.
She was so frustrated that she continued screaming in rage, “Yes, I am no one to you. In your eyes, I’m just an outsider. So what? When Brother Chuan was in trouble, I was the one who was helping, even though I was an outsider. I was waiting outside for the Deputy Director of the Lawrence Institute of Medical Research, but you, the actual wife, went out. You went missing when everything happened. Jing Qian, where were you? Who were you with? Are you going to say it yourself or do you want the Zhan family to investigate you?”
She was sure that Jing Qian had a lover outside. She was absolutely sure about this. She had left 70 missed calls for this woman, who must have taken the opportunity to meet her lover.
Now that grandfather was angry as well, as long as she successfully got rid of this unfaithful woman from the Zhan family, she would have the opportunity to get close to Zhan Lichuan.
Zhan Shuyu, who was standing next to them, got frustrated instead. Her face dark, she said to Jiang Yuxi, “That’s enough! Shut up! Don’t you know what is more important now? Why are you trying to start an argument here? Yuxi, Jing Qian is the Young Mistress of the Zhan family, Ah Chuan’s wife. If she did anything wrong, grandfather would be the one to lecture her, not you.”
After being lectured by Zhan Shuyu, Jiang Yuxi was unhappy, but she kept quiet as well.
As for Jing Qian, when she saw that Jiang Yuxi finally kept her mouth shut, she continued, “So what you are saying is that for the past few hours, you have been waiting outside for the Deputy Director of Lawrence Institute from Country Z? Was it because the man has no legs and couldn’t walk for himself, which is why you had to wait for him all night outside so that you could carry him in once he arrived?”
“YOU!”
Jiang Yuxi wanted to continue arguing with Jing Qian, but she was aware that Jing Qian was a peasant from a small town and had an extremely vicious mouth. If she continued arguing with her in this manner, it would be impossible for her to win.
Therefore, she took a deep breath and said, “You’re right. I am useless, which is why the only thing that I could do was to wait for Director Qing. At least I have the right attitude as Brother Chuan’s younger sister. What about you? What have you done for Brother Chuan?”
“Oh, nothing much. It’s just that when you walked in, I was telling grandfather that I had gotten some pills from a friend of mine, which would help with Ah Chuan’s condition.”
Zhan Yihe, who was by their side, decided to speak up once again.
“Qianqian, I already told you just now that Third Brother’s condition isn’t a joke! You can play with someone else, but his condition is not something that you should experiment on. Look at your pill. It isn’t even labeled. This must be something that you got from the market, right? How could you give something uncertified to Third Brother?”
