Chapter 406: 261 All are masters: Black-hearted, slick moves (3 updates) 2

"He said you were unwilling to undergo surgery." Concerned about his daughter's lifelong happiness, Tang

Yunxian spoke very directly, "Can you explain why?"

"Jinsang, don’t blme for being heartless as an uncle, but if it's true—as the rumors go—that you won't live

past twenty-eight, | won't let my daughter marry you."

Thinking about Tang Wan possibly having another child in the next one or two years... he didn’t dare to think

about how she would manage in the future...

Tang Yunxian’s wife had passed away early, so he understood this kind of suffering all too well. Previously, he

thought Jiang Jinsang’s health was acceptable, and rumors should not be fully believed, but this sudden collapse

forced him to reconsider the issue.

"Dad..." Tang Wan tried to speak up but was immediately silenced by a cold glare from Tang Yunxian, who then

turned to look at Jiang Jinsang, "If you two get married, your illness will no longer be just your concern, | must

consider Wanwan'’s well-being."

"I understand." Jiang Jinsang looked at him seriously, "I will cooperate with Uncle Zhou’s treatment and surgery."

"That's good..."

Zhou Zhongging was standing outside the door at that moment, shaking his head helplessly upon hearing this;

this stubborn kid wouldn't comply unless he was pressured by his father-in-law.

Did he really think there was nothing he could do about him?

At this time, from inside the hospital room, another voice echoed, "Wanwan, sorry for worrying you again..."

"I'm fine."

"If I had known | would meet you, | would've cherished my health a thousand times, a hundred thousand times

more, and stay by your side until we're old."

Zhou Zhongging stood outside, his skin crawling with goosebumps from such sappy love talk!

He found Jiang Xiaowu insufferable and wished he could sew his mouth shut with surgical needles.

Inside the room, Tang Yunxian clenched his fist, brought it to his lips, and coughed twice, "Alright, since you've

agreed to the surgery, just focus on recuperating. Actions are more substantial than words."

"You've worried us." Jiang Jinsang’s hand under the blanket fidgeted nonstop, "Then... do we need to postpone

our engagement?"

Surgery isn’t something that can be done overnight. There's preparation and recovery to consider, not to

mention it takes a hundred days to heal from bone and muscle injuries. His surgery would clearly be more

complex than just an appendectomy.

"The engagement date will remain the same, but when to get married will depend on your recovery."

"Thank you, Uncle Tang."

"It’s not just for you." Tang Yunxian sighed, if it wasn’t for Tang Wan’s affection, he wouldn't have agreed to let

Jiang Jinsang be his son-in-law based on his health alone. Moreover, the engagement was set long ago, relatives

and friends had been notified, and outsiders were aware—canceling last minute could lead to unnecessary

trouble.

Besides, an engagement isn’t a marriage; there's always room for maneuvering.

"Dad, I'll peel an apple for you," Tang Wan said with a smile.

"If I had said no to your engagement today on account of his health, | fear | wouldn't even get to taste an apple,"

he replied with a tone so sour, as if he had consumed a bowl of vinegar.

At noon, Zhou Zhongging visited the hospital room before ending his shift and was shocked to hear Jiang Jinsang

was to undergo surgery.

"You're serious, Xiaowu? Am | hearing this right, you're actually going for surgery?"

He seemed completely surprised as if this was news to him, but the two knew each other too well, Jiang Jinsang

had known him since childhood, and could only reflect: the act was overdone, leaving obvious traces.

Jiang Jinsang gritted his teeth inwardly, yet managed to smile at him, "Yes!"

Oscar owes you a statuette, the truth about the surgery cfrom you, and now you're playing dumb.

"It was voluntary, right? Nobody forced you," Zhou Zhongging confirmed with him, "Don’t go blaming anyone

later, complaining toon the operating table."

"I'm doing this willingly." Jiang Jinsang smiled, his gaze making Zhou Zhongging’s heart race, dealing with smart

people was indeed exhausting.

"That would be..." Zhou Zhongqing pulled out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Tang Wan,

"Wanwan, from now on, make sure he follows the nutritional raon here, watches his diet closely every day,

exercises his body, and gets well enough to be ready for surgery."

Everyone: "..."

You're all prepared, what was all that pretense just now? What kind of scheming is this?

"I understand." Tang Wan took the paper, unfolded it and glanced at it; there were no specified recipes, just a

mention of what nutritional elements needed to be supplemented daily, and how much activity should be

maintained every day.

When Zhou Zhongqing left the hospital room, with his hands clasped behind him and an extremely pleased look

on his face, he shook his head as he went. If it weren't for the hospital's ban on making loud noise, he would

probably have burst into song.

Tang Yunxian looked at Jiang Jinsang’s expression and couldn’t help but laugh, "Now I finally understand why

father likes you. Why?"

These two, one old and one young, showed strikingly similar attitudes toward surgery, a type of people certainly

attract each other.

And at that moment, the news of Jiang Jinsang’s fainting and hospitalization had slowly started to spread

throughout Beijing. Even the conversation between Tang Wan and Tang Yunxian at the end of the hallway

somehow got twisted into the Tang Family objecting to the engagement because of Xiaowu’s poor health.

"They say Mr. Tang flatly disagrees, but the engagement had been set long ago and is not easy to call off."

"I heard Miss Tang is marrying into the family purely to continue the lineage for Xiaowu, after all, with his health,

who knows when he might kick the bucket."

"No wonder the Jiang Family treats her so well; they feel indebted and want to compensate her."

"Otherwise, why would they get into such a dispute with the Jiang Zhaolin family, afraid she’d run off? They want

to secure her."

Tang Wan saw these online comments and didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry; they were all made up without

any foundation, utter nonsense.

Even when Tang Yunxian was caught by reporters asking about Jiang Jinsang’s health, a single glance from him

could be twisted by the reporters into various meanings.

"Now you understand how the rumors that | won't live past twenty-eight and my brother wanting to murder me

started, right?" Jiang Jinsang said to her with a smile.

Three men make a tiger, exactly like that.

business, was clear that the Jiang Family might be heading for turmoil.

But for such a long time, there had been no move from the Jiang Family, which felt like...

They didn’t dare to confront him head-on!

She had asked Jiang Jinsang how their family planned to deal with Jiang Zhaolin.

"Company matters are being handled by my dad and brother; there's no rush."

"Not in a hurry?"

"Until the last moment, you never know what kind of hidden cards the enemy has. Besides..." Jiang Jinsang’s

voice was laced with amusement, "If you can’t eradicate the problem in one go, why not just bide your time?"

Tang Wan inwardly shuddered: heartless and scheming!
