Chapter 501: 320 Luring the Snake out of Its Hole, Jiang Family Father and Son's Bizarre Aesthetics (2 Updates)_2 Speople are afraid of wounds being torn open, of blood pouring out and of this family falling apart, while others are filled with guilt and fear...

"Yongqi, do you want to go back and rest?" Du Jinglan looked at her husband.

"No need." "You haven't eaten anything for almost a day. If this continues, even if father doesn't wake up, your body will collapse." "I'm fine. Let the kids go back and rest," Xie Yongqi said, looking toward Xie Duo and Xie Tongtong.

"Mom and Tongtong can go back. I'll stay here with Dad and take care of things." Xie Duo naturally couldn't leave.

After sargument, no one wanted to leave, and Du Jinglan could only sigh, "Then I'll go out to buy sfood. At least eat a little." Du Jinglan left the inpatient department and then, with trembling fingers, took out her cellphone...

* Meanwhile, in another ward, all the visitors had left. Taotao sat on the bed, head lowered, too afraid to speak, while Jiangjiang sat on the other side. They were both so nervous about the trouble they had caused and the lies they had told that they dared not speak.

Jiang Yanting went hto fetch sfresh clothes for Taotao, and Shen Zhixian sat at the head of the bed, peeling an apple.

She peeled it, cut it into pieces, removed the seeds, and handed them to the two children.

"I don't want to eat," Taotao said nervously.

"What about Jiangjiang?" Shen Zhixian asked.

He shook his head too.

"Mom..." Taotao said, plucking up courage, “I was wrong. Please don't blUncle Xiaosi; I asked him to takethere." "How many times have you gone?" Shen Zhixian couldn't believe her usually gentle and obedient daughter would lie.

Taotao counted on her fingers, ran out of fingers, and turned Shen Zhixian's face a shade paler with anger. "Mom, I really know I was wrong." Taotao, biting her little mouth and already injured, put on a pitiful face and acted spoiled.

Parents' hearts are soft and they can't bear to see their children like this, but Shen Zhixian had to harden her heart.

"Do you know that playing with cars is very dangerous, and you should not lie to me? Taotao, haven't I always told you that good children don't lie?" "I'm a bad child," Taotao said, biting her tooth, pitiful to the extreme.

Shen Zhixian was about to speak again when Jiangjiang, who had been standing beside her without her knowing, tugged at her clothes, “I was involved in this too. You askedto take care of my sister, and I didn't do a good job. If you want to blsomeone, blme." "I'm an incompetent brother." "I shouldn't have played dangerous things with my sister or lied with her.' Taotao had always thought that Jiangjiang was a little fool. Why was he stepping in now? It would have been fine to blher alone; after all, in her mind, Shen Zhixian was Jiangjiang's "stepmother" and would never get angry at him. Why did he have to step in! "Jiangjiang..." Shen Zhixian was truly shocked, "This tI really..." "You are still young, maybe you don't realize how dangerous it was. What if something terrible happened, what would your father and I do? Have you thought about that?" "I've only just..." Shen Zhixian's fingers slightly tightened, "Doing this, I really..." Shen Zhixian resented not being able to spank them, but seeing how frightened they were, she felt both anger and heartache.

"Mom..." Jiangjiang suddenly called her quietly.

His voice was very soft, like the faint buzzing of a mosquito.

Shen Zhixian stiffened, her eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up uncontrollably. Clutching Jiangjiang's shoulders, her voice trembled, "What did you just call me...?" "If you didn't hear, never mind," Jiangjiang said, hanging his head in silence.

Shen Zhixian felt at a loss, suddenly unsure what to do.

After Jiang Yanting returned, he knew that Shen Zhixian would surely discipline the children. He thought they would cry because of their guilt and fear of her scolding, but when he got back...

It was Shen Zhixian who was crying, tearing up and wiping tears continuously.

"What's wrong? Jiangjiang!” Jiang Yanting looked at his son, who had been mischievous since childhood and spoiled rotten, "Did you make her cry?" "No, he didn't upset me, we're good, don't scold the child for no reason!" Shen Zhixian immediately interrupted him, somewhat reproachful.

Jiang Yanting was bewildered: Before, Shen Zhixian had sworn to flay the hides off the two children, yet now she was protecting them? She took the bag of clothes from Jiang Yanting's hands, pulled the curtains around the hospital bed, and started changing Taotao's clothing.

Father and son were blocked outside the curtain, exchanging glances: Jiang Yanting: “What on earth did you do, kid?" He couldn't believe that Shen Zhixian's reddened eyes were caused by Taotao, because in his heart, his daughter was the most considerate and obedient child. A certain little Demon King was renowned in Beijing for being fierce.

Jiangjiang shrugged: "I didn't do anything!" Jiang Yanting: "Behave yourself." Jiangjiang stuck out his tongue at him, then turned to eat an apple, presenting his backside, which infuriated Jiang Yanting. This little rascal, screwing up and still making faces at him? He's really asking for a whooping, about to make a real scene.

Taotao had also heard Jiangjiang calling out "Mommy" earlier, and had been completely dumbfounded. She hadn't expected a major crisis to be averted by just two words, mainly her mother's reaction, which she found incomprehensible...

She was still too young to understand the concept of crying from overwhelming joy, she just knew she cried, and she found it very strange.

When Shen Zhixian took out the clothes Jiang Yanting brought, she was flabbergasted.

"Jiang Yanting, what on earth have you brought?" "What you said, intimate items, a set of pajamas, and an outfit.” "A princess dress, she's here for treatment, and you bring her this kind of clothing?" "Isn't it pretty?" It wasn't a matter of being pretty or not. The point was... and this color combination, truly epic, red with green, what kind of deathly palette was that, what goes on in his mind.

"Uncle, it's okay, I really like the clothes you brought," said Taotao sweetly.

Jiang Yanting couldn't care less about what Shen Zhixian thought, as long as his daughter was happy. Taotao's injury wasn't serious, she could be discharged from the hospital, but just to be safe, they kept her for observation for one day.

When Taotao changed into her clothes, Shen Zhixian showed them to someone, "Do you think this color combination works?" Jiang Yanting frowned: "Is there a problem?” His daughter was adorable, naturally, whatever she wore would look good.

"Jiangjiang, what do you think?" Jiangjiang took a long look: “It's really pretty." Shen Zhixian suddenly remembered the two paintings Jiangjiang had given to Jiang Jinsang, the characters in the paintings had boldly used colors; she should have expected that this was not a question to ask Jiangjiang.

** Two days later

Jiang Chengsi returned to the country. His departure was high-profile and so was his return. Most importantly, this the m seemed to have brought back a woman. Although the woman wore a mask, the reporters, sharp-eyed, deduced from her outfit and the fine lines around her eyes that she was of a certain age. Nonetheless, she was a woman, and the news, eager for a scoop, gave very eye-catching titles. [Jiang Fourth Master Returns to the Country with a Beauty.] [Jiang Fourth Master's Charm Sky-High, But His Taste is Unique, Seems to Favor Older Women?] [Cult Couple CP Breaks Up? Fans Heartbroken.] Qi Zeyan was nearly choked with rage. He had nothing whatsoever to do with him. The last tthey met was when Jiang Yanting proposed. Why did every the made the news, they had to bring him up? And this was something he couldn't explain, so he could only fret.

After Jiang Chengsi brought people back from Country E, reporters also captured him seemingly meeting Jiang Yanting and Shen Zhixian.

Ever since the elder Xie fainted from rage, Shen Zhixian had only shown up on that day and hadn't visited since. After Jiang Chengsi returned to the country, Shen Zhixian purposely made a trip to the hospital to ask when the old master would wake up, saying she had words for him... Her actions, to the Xie Family, naturally cwith various calculations.

Jiang Chengsi arranged for the people to stay in a hotel, which the media had captured, there was no red, there w need for investigation. That very night, someone in dark clothing, wearing a hat and mask and closely wrapped up, knocked on the door of the hotel room...
