Chapter 409: 263 Confrontation vs. Stab with a Soft Knife, One More Ruthless Than the Other (2 Updates)_2

Criticizing someone by indirect implication, are you suggesting he is even worse than a beast?

"| still have smatters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." With things coming to this point, how could Jiang

Zhaolin have the face to stay.

"Mr. Jiang, the check." Tang Yunxian glanced at the check on the tea table.

Jiang Zhaolin snatched it up, crumpled it in his palm, and was about to reach the door when he was called back

again.

"And those things..."

Jiang Zhaolin took a deep breath, carrying the items, and just as he got to the doorway, the door was pushed

open from outside, and he ran into the old Master Tang head-on.

"Oh—Zhaolin, when did you get here?"

"Just arrived." Jiang Zhaolin was fuming inwardly, but this was the Tang Family's territory, and he had no place to

vent, his face twisted with anger, his words, seeming to be pried out from between clenched teeth.

"Are you... leaving?" Old Master Tang, leaning on a walking stick, had had surgery stago. With his

granddaughter’s engagement and Old Master Shen keeping him company, his days had been comfortable, and

he’d gained weight, looking even more kind and benevolent when smiling.

"Still carrying the items?" Old Master Tang frowned, looking over at Tang Yunxian who had cout upon

hearing the noise, "Yunxian, what's going on? He comes over and you don’t call to notify me! Our guest is

carrying items over, what did you do to upset him like this?"

"Dad—" Tang Yunxian furrowed his brow, how did his father return so early?

"Zhaolin, cin and sit down." The old man grabbed his hand and ushered him inside.

"Old Master Tang, | really must be going."

After such an ugly scene earlier, how could Jiang Zhaolin have the face to continue staying.

"Now that you are here, stay a little longer." Old Master Tang turned his head to look at Tang Yunxian, "A guest

who has cfrom afar, and even brought gifts, and you want to send him away?"

"Yes, cin and have a seat." Old Lady Shen smiled warmly.

Jiang Zhaolin had just been sternly rebuffed, almost to the point of rage, with Tang Yunxian all but personally

throwing him out, along with his gifts. What was Old Master Tang playing at now?

With the three elders being overly enthusiastic and Jiang Zhaolin still holding the items, he found himself in a

very passive position, inexplicably being dragged back into the living room.

After exchanging pleasantries, Old Master Tang looked at him smilingly, "I heard Shuyan has already woken up,

how is she? No serious issues, | hope?"

"She's alright." What else could Jiang Zhaolin say in such a situation.

"That's good to hear..." Old Master Tang exhaled a long breath of relief.

"Thank you for your concern."

Jiang Zhaolin was filled with a tumult of thoughts, unable to discern Old Master Tang's true intentions. Logically

speaking, he should be tougher to deal with than Tang Yunxian, so why was he being so cordial?

"When will she be able to leave the hospital?" Old Master Shen inquired.

"It's unclear, she may need to recuperate for a while." They were so polite that Jiang Zhaolin had to return the

civility.

In someone else’s territory, it was inappropriate to have an outburst when the hosts were all smiles.

"It’s enough that she’s alive; | also wanted to mention, if needed, | could introduce her to a few good doctors,"

said Old Master Shen with a smile. But his next words sent a chill down Jiang Zhaolin’s spine, "After all..."

"She'll have to go to prison later."

She can't afford to lose her life!

Tang Wan was also baffled, not knowing what gher grandfather and Old Master Shen were playing. They

knew about what Jiang Shuyan had done and were so furious they were nearly ready to storm Beijing; how could

they possibly speak to Jiang Zhaolin with such gentle and soft voices?

It turned out they were playing with a soft knife.

This cut was far more vicious than her father’s approach.

Jiang Zhaolin's face paled instantly.

"Punishment is just a means; education, making her recognize her wrongs, is the essence. Isn't that right,

Zhaolin?"

Old Master Tang was all smiles, but each sentence was like a poisoned hook, scraping across Jiang Zhaolin bit by

bit.

It hurt fiercely and was malicious.

He was effectively cut off from any chance of retreat.

And it was spoken as if it were for his consideration, for the future of Jiang Shuyan.

Jiang Zhaolin gritted his teeth in silent resentment but still had to keep up a smile, "You're absolutely right."

"You've call this way, it wasn’t easy; stay for a meal before you go," Old Lady Shen proposed warmly.

"No need, | still have smatters to take care of."
