Chapter 488: After going out to the banquet, will the disabled but determined Jiang Wuye post a second update? The Xie Family split primarily involved the company. If Shen Zhixian married Jiang Yanting at this time, the Jiang Family would very likely use this opportunity to make inroads into the Xie Family.

If they wanted to overthrow the Xie Family or the entire Xie establishment, it wasn't impossible. Although it sounded like a conspiracy theory, all possibilities had to be considered.

When Shen Zhixian left the Xie Family with her lawyer's documents, it was Xie Duo who sent her back.

"Little aunt, what exactly is your relationship with Jiang Yanting right now?" Even though they lived together, it still felt like something was missing.

"What's the matter?" "Since you already have a child, if you really want to be together, you surely have splans. Just living together without any clear intent doesn't seem proper, does it?" Xie Duo secretly hoped the two would separate. That man, not yet truly his uncle in the strictest sense, was already so presumptuous, domineering, and privileged-what would becof them in the future? He was afraid he wouldn't have "Good Days" ahead.

Shen Zhixian lowered her head and casually flipped through the materials without saying a word.

"Little aunt, may I ask, who took the initiative back in college between the two of you?" "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would take the initiative?" Due to her upbringing, Shen Zhixian wasn't a confident person to begin with-she was even a bit introverted. After going abroad, her English wasn't fluent, and she even went through a period of having no friends. Even if she had liked Jiang Yanting, she probably wouldn't have taken the initiative.

"Did Jiang Yanting pursue you?" Although from the photos released at a previous press conference, it seemed to be the case, Xie Duo couldn't imagine someone as aloof as Jiang pursuing a girl.

"Mhm." "Can you share a bit about the process with me?" Xie Duo wasn't usually one to gossip, but at this moment, the spirit of gossip within him was rising uncontrollably.

"At first I really didn't think he likedor wanted to chase me. He's quite reserved but also especially domineering..." Shen Zhixian didn't go into detail about their relationship, but Xie Duo had roughly guessed saspects... Who would have thought, you would be like this, Jiang Yanting.

** Meanwhile, Tang Wan returned hto pay respects to the ancestors and spent a total of 5 days traveling. Upon her return, it was Zhou Zhongqing who cto the airport to meet her, looking sharp in his suit, having styled his hair on purpose, and even holding a bouquet of flowers, making the occasion exceptionally formal.

Zhou Zhongqing's recent changes were drastic. He tidied himself up neatly every day, leaving the hospital staff speculating that he, at his age, was finally blossoming and welcoming spring...

Little did they know, he had taken on a goddaughter! However, colleagues couldn't be overly nosy. They only asked casually, "Dr. Zhou, do you have shappy news recently?" Zhou Zhongqing smiled and agreed.

Thus, the rumor spread through the hospital: Dr. Zhou was finally getting married.

But, after stime, when the invitations reached everyone, they turned out to be for an "Adoption Celebration." He said, "Now that I have a daughter, I can't be sloppy as before; otherwise, my daughter will look down on me." Tang Wan knew that Zhou Zhongqing would cto pick her up at the airport, but she was still a bit surprised upon seeing him. It was just an airport pickup; there really was no need for such a fuss.

Jiang Jinsang was at hthat day, also preparing in advance, but despite waiting from day till night, Tang Wan didn't return until it was dark.

"Xiaowu, I had Wanwan keepcompany a little longer; you don't mind, do you?" Zhou Zhongqing said with a smile.

With the adoption celebration approaching, though they had invited close friends and family, Zhou Zhongqing was very attentive. Right from the airport, he took her to eat, then insisted on buying her clothes. His overwhelming enthusiasm was too much for Tang Wan to resist, and the back-and-forth dragged on until nightfall.

Although Jiang Jinsang felt somewhat annoyed deep down, Zhou Zhongqing was going to be one of his fathers- in-law, so he could only say it was fine with a smile.

"Wanwan, do you want to cwithto check out the hotel tomorrow?" Naturally, he was referring to the venue for the Adoption Celebration.

Before Tang Wan could reply, Jiang Jinsang interjected...

"Tomorrow, the young master Huo is hosting us. He didn't attend our and m engagement party before; and agreed to treat us to treat us to dinner. It was only delayed because of my surgery.” Jiang Jinsang said smilingly. "Uncle Zhou, why don't you calong tomorrow?" Upon hearing that it was the Huo Family's young master hosting, Zhou Zhongqing still felt a bit intimidated. Besides, why would he intrude on a gathering of the younger generation?

After Zhou Zhongqing left, Tang Wan put away her luggage and then m returned to Jiang Vinsang's room. He looked as though he had just wiped his body down and was preparing to apply medicine to his wound. His abdominal wound was deep and long and couldn't cinto contact with water yet, so he could only dab at his body with a moist towel.

"Applying medicine?" "Mhm." Jiang Jinsang nodded.

"Lethelp you." Tang Wan said as she washed her hands, dried them, then picked up the ointment. Shen squeezed a small amount onto her palm and gently applied it to his wound in a dabbing motion, then carefully spread it to allow absorption. Share to your friends
