Chapter 498: 318 Exploiting the Topic to Expand, Warning: Don't Touch My Daughter (2 more chapters) Hospital Shen Zhixian and Jiang Yanting rushed to the hospital just as Zhou Zhongqing was still carefully treating Taotao's wounds, which were relatively minor but needed to be handled with extra care due to the child's young age. "What exactly happened?" Shen Zhixian looked towards Jiang Chengsi, who was standing at the entrance. "Sister-in-law, second brother, I'm sorry, I didn't watch the kids properly." "You took them to the racing car track?" Jiang Yanting said with a stern expression.

"Second brother..." "How did they fall?" Shen Zhixian couldn't enter the room, but she could hear Taotao's muffled groans coming intermittently from the office, causing her heart to tremble wildly and her mind to be in turmoil.

"It was just an accident." Jiang Chengsi briefly explained what had happened.

Today was no different from any other day; he drove the two kids around the track for a couple of laps, naturally not going very fast.

But the two children insisted on riding by themselves. These were motorcycles meant for adults, and there was no way for the kids to play with them.

He was someone who indulged the children a lot and, in the end, had no choice but to relent after their badgering. He told them that if they wanted to ride motorcycles, they at least needed to learn how to ride bicycles first, because otherwise they wouldn't be able to maintain basic balance once on the motorcycle. Neither child knew how to ride a bicycle, but both showed extrinterest. Unfortunately, there were no children's bicycles at the racing track, so Jiang Chengsi simply turned his head to make a call, hoping to get a couple of bicycles brought over.

Taotao stood beside the motorcycle, which hadn't been completely turned off and the keys not removed. At first, she just touched the body of the motorcycle...

Jiang Chengsi saw her out of the corner of his eye and specifically warned her that she could touch the body, but not to tamper with anything else.

But children are naturally curious, and there were many buttons on the motorcycle's handlebars. She was just randomly touching them.

Unexpectedly, the rear wheel suddenly started turning, and the motorcycle, which had been stationary, lurched into motion, knocking Taotao down and almost pinning her underneath.

Everything happened so suddenly, they gave her a brief checkup before bringing her to the hospital.

The child was sufficiently frightened, and so was Jiang Chengsi.

"At the end of the day, it was my fault for not looking after them well enough." Shen Zhixian was both anxious and irritated deep down. If he was to blame, she herself wasn't blameless, as after all, the child had been out playing for so long and she, as the mother, hadn't noticed.

"We will talk about this matter later," Shen Zhixian bit her lip tightly.

"Don't you know?" Du Jinglan was also guarding the door, looking agitated and speaking in a sarcastic tone. "Mom!" Xie Tongtong frowned.

"The reports have said it, they have been there many times; do you parents really have no idea?" "Mrs. Xie, I have already said that my brother and sister-in-law were completely unaware," Jiang Chengsi frowned.

"Do you think that's believable? The child played out there for so long, and not a single word about it when she got back? Everyone knows how well-behaved Taotao is, could it be that she wouldn't say anything when she got back? Did she deliberately lie?" Du Jinglan challenged.

"Sister-in-law..." Shen Zhixian's fingers tightened slightly.

"Even if Taotao hid it, she is such a good child, why would she lie for no reason? It could well be someone taught her, I really don't understand what the Jiang Family is trying to do." "A perfectly good child, taken out to play such dangerous games, and now she has even learned to lie." "Tell me, if it's not to ruin the child, then what is it? She used to be so good when she was with our Xie Family." Shen Zhixian knew in her heart that Du Jinglan was just seizing the opportunity to make trouble, but her next words made Shen Zhixian's heart skip a beat.

"I do not want a perfectly good child to be ruined by the Jiang Family." "Zhixian, I know you want to make up for Jiangjiang and might have neglected Taotao lately. Her residence registration is still with our Xie Family, so if you really cannot take care of her, I think she would be better off staying with our family." Keep Taotao? Shen Zhixian scoffed lightly, "After all that, so this is what you're after." "I'm thinking of the child's welfare!" "Is it for the child's sake, or for your own? Sister-in-law, my uncle has just been hospitalized after fainting, are you in such a rush? You were not like this before." Du Jinglan had a gentle disposition, kind to everyone, and was very patient.

"What rush? Could it be that you expectto stand by and watch the child being..." Du Jinglan didn't finish her sentence, as Shen Zhixian suddenly stepped forward, closing the distance between them. She whispered right into her ear, her voice lowered, "You know exactly what I'm saying, don't you?" "You've waited so long, finally seizing the chance after uncle and I fell out, haven't you? You've been patient enough, haven't you?" "We are both mothers, and I believe you understand that for the sake of my child, I can do anything." Her voice was a bit hoarse with worry, deliberately suppressed, like a venomous snake hissing in her ear, even her breath carried a chill.

Du Jinglan narrowed her eyes, her body trembling slightly, "Shen Zhixian, are you threatening me?" "Just a friendly warning." At this moment, the door to Zhou Zhongqing's office opened. Tang Wan and Jiangjiang had been inside, and Jiangjiang rushed out, hugging Jiang Yanting's leg, "Daddy-" Jiang Yanting patted his head.

Taotao's wounds were all treated; her head was bandaged, her hands covered in iodine, her hair messy, and her clothes dirty, looking rather disheveled. Disinfecting the wounds was painful, and with her eyes red from holding back tears, she could no longer restrain them when she saw Shen Zhixian, letting the tears fall.

"Uncle Zhou..." Jiang Yanting looked at Zhou Zhongqing, who was removing his disinfectant gloves.

"She's fine, mostly bruises, she'll recover after srest. She's probably been scared, so comfort her a bit. If you're worried, you can have her stay in the hospital for observation and get stests done.” "Thank you." "This is what I should do," Zhou Zhongqing looked deeply at Jiang Chengsi, who stood at the back, "you, young man...

"Mom, shouldn't we go in and see?" Xie Tongtong didn't know what Shen Zhixian had just said to her mother, but she saw her face turned as white as a ghost, as if she had seen one.

She stiffened and turned to walk towards the other side.

"Mom?" Xie Tongtong frowned. Ever since Grandpa's accident, the whole family had been in chaos. What on earth was going on? ** The news of Jiang Chengsi taking kids street racing exploded like the wind and reached the Jiang Family.

The members of the Jiang Family were not the gossipy type, but when an issue was related to them, even if they didn't pry, people would always bring the news to their doorstep.

The old lady was originally pruning her flowers, but upon hearing the news, her hands shook, and she almost ruined the flowers. She hurriedly called Jiang Yanting, and after learning that Taotao was not seriously hurt, she felt somewhat relieved.

"What about that little bastard Jiang Chengsi?" "He's by my side." "Hand the phone over to that little bastard!" Jiang Yanting passed the phone, "It's Grandma's call." Jiang Chengsi knew in his heart that since Taotao got thrown off, he couldn't escape punishment. Sure enough, the moment he picked up the phone and hadn't finished saying hello, he got an earful from the other side.

"...you've really got snerve, you little punk. Hurry back here so I can see if I should break your damn legs. I want to see how you're going to ride a bike with a limp leg." "Grandma..." "Get your ass back here! You rascallion." Jiang Jinsang was sitting by the window basking in the sun, a blanket over his knees and a tablet resting on top, scrolling through comments online.

"This is pretty dangerous for adults, not to mention children. It's really not suitable for a child's play, even with professionals around, you can't guarantee there won't be accidents." "Proper safety measures should be taken, it's not like they can't touch it." "Nowadays, what doesn't cwith risks? The main thing is for parents to keep an eye on their children." Initially, opinions were divided online, but with the news of Taotao's accident, they all turned into scathing condemnation of Jiang Chengsi, and the blames all fell on the Jiang Family in the end.

"Fourth brother really is..." Jiang Jinsang furrowed his brows, glancing sideways at the person opposite, "What do you think of this matter?" "It's pretty normal for Jiang Chengsi to do something like this, isn't it?" He was someone who never played by the rules, capable of taking a child street racing around his own estate.

He had recorded it, but not exposed him, but that didn't mean others wouldn't find out about it.

Jiang Jinsang narrowed his eyes: Now, his brother and sister-in-law are clearly ready for a showdown with the Xie Family. He didn't believe that the Xie Family, that ghost, had such a long reach to dare to harm Taotao in front of Jiang Chengsi. This matter was most likely an accident, but given the current climate, it was inevitable that people would exploit the situation.

Jiang Jinsang raised his eyebrows, looking at him, "Did you know about this earlier?" "A little earlier than you guys." He kept his head down, not once looking at Jiang Jinsang even as he spoke.

"Is Minesweeper really that much fun?" The man was naturally dull, apart from training, the only ghe played was this one, incessantly.

"Do you want to play too?" He raised his brows, glancing at Jiang Jinsang.

Jiang Jinsang had no real interest in that kind of game, but before he could say anything, the person opposite said calmly: "This gmight seem simple, but it's not something everyone can play well. It really tests one's intelligence." Jiang Jinsang: "..." What is that supposed to mean? Saying I'm not smart enough? He really had the nerve. All of Beijing might say he's in poor health, but this was the first tsomeone suggested he lacks intelligence! At that moment, the sound of the old lady angrily ordering Jiang Chengsi to chand her reproach echoed from downstairs.

Jiang Jinsang slightly raised his eyebrows, the news sure traveled fast, “Aren't you leaving?" "Leave for what?" "What do you think? Fourth brother will be hsoon."

Soon Jiang Chengsi would return, and faced with the old lady's temper, she would definitely give him a fierce scolding, and it wouldn't be surprising if she got violent with him. This family embarrassment, the host having a family matter to attend to, as a guest, surely, he should leave as soon as possible. "He's coming back, what does that have to do with me? I'm here to visit the sick, seeing you is enough." That statement made it clear, he was staying to watch the unfold.

Not long after, the sound of a car was heard from outside, Jiang Jinsang's brow furrowed slightly. Considering the distance from the hospital to the old house, Jiang Chengsi shouldn't be arriving this soon. Jiang Cuo knocked and entered, "Sir..." "Who's here?" "It's Third Young Master." Jiang Jinsang chuckled. What was he doing here? "Old Huo, do you think he's here to plead, or... like you, here to watch the ?" The other person looked up at Jiang Jinsang, "I'm here to visit the sick." Stubborn as iron! Jiang Jinsang: "..."
