Chapter 493: 314 Fifth Master is crazily heartbroken? The little spring heart that was beaten to death Jiang Yanting originally thought that once his proposal was successful, he would be able to rightfully declare his sovereignty, but despite his busy efforts, he was still just an outsider.

Shen Zhixian noticed his uneasy expression and had just about to speak when her phone vibrated again, "Hello, uncle-" "Did I hear that Yanting proposed to you? Want to bring the kids over for dinner tonight?" Old Mr. Xie chuckled.

"It might not be convenient tonight; we have to go to his grandfather's place." Shen Zhixian didn't agree as she was likely to stay at the Fan family for dinner.

"Where are you guys now? Cover when you find the time, the lawyer is almost here, there's something I need to discuss, and you can head over after our chat—it's a bit urgent." Shen Zhixian glanced at the car's display clock; since Old Mr. Xie said it was urgent, she agreed.

"Are we going to the Xie family?" Jiang Yanting asked, tilting his head.

"It's still about dividing up the family, too many issues, too complicated." "I'll give mom a call then." Fan Mingyu, when receiving the call, just laughed it off, "No worries, I'll take the kids back soon." ** Xie Family The old man was holding a tablet, looping the video of their proposal online, constantly asking Xie Duo to describe the exact details of that moment.

"Grandpa, I've already explained it for the fourth time." Xie Duo really didn't want to relive that experience. "Don't you know I'm getting old and my memory isn't good? What's wrong with asking you to repeat it? What, you find your grandpa annoying?" Old Mr. Xie put down the tablet and looked at him, stern-faced.

"That's not what I meant." Xie Duo quickly explained.

Old Mr. Xie huffed, "I think that's exactly what you meant. I asked you to showthe proposal video, look at you, those impatient eyes? These high-tech products, I really can't use them, see how impatient you look?" "When you were little, you wrote essays saying I was capable of anything, always sticking behind me. Back then, your parents were so busy, it was I who brought you up from diapers." "Now you've grown up, got tough wings, thinking I'm outdated, out, just a hillbilly, right?" Xie Duo was speechless; you even know the word "out," who dares to say you're out-of-date? Xie Tongtong sat beside, trying hard to suppress her laughter but received a fierce glare from her own brother.

"Xie Duo, I know, you've always felt uncomfortable with Yanting being together with your aunt, but it's a done deal, since it can't be changed, try to accept it." His feelings were obvious to anyone in the Xie family. "When your aunt and uncle arrive, be warm to them, don't act passive-aggressive and petty." "Con, you're not a kid anymore, can you be a bit more mature?" Xie Duo couldn't help but laugh and cry, what more do you expectto do after saying all that? Soon, Jiang Yanting and Shen Zhixian arrived...

"Here, have stea." Du Jinglan cout smiling with tea.

"Thank you, auntie." Jiang Yanting was still very polite to her.

"Why callauntie? Zhixian callssister-in-law, you'll have to start doing that soon too." Jiang Yanting took the tea without a word.

Old Mr. Xie raised his walking stick, poking Xie Duo's calf. He stiffly invited Jiang Yanting, "Have sfruit and pastries; the pastries are still warm, tastes quite good." While speaking, he even proactively fetched him a piece.

Jiang Yanting squinted at him, and Xie Duo suddenly smiled brightly at him, honestly, it was still somewhat uncomfortable for him.

The lawyer soon arrived, and Old Mr. Xie stated, “Let's talk in the study." The lawyer and Shen Zhixian immediately stood up, but unexpectedly, the old man glanced at Jiang Yanting, "Yanting, calong too." "Should I calong?" Not only Jiang Yanting but the rest of the Xie family members were surprised, as the firm's lawyer, responsible for the family division, usually talks in the study, and the Xie family wasn't allowed to listen, so why was Jiang Yanting being invited? "That might not be appropriate." "We're discussing matters about Taotao and Jiangjiang, you're their father, there's nothing inappropriate, con in." The old man leaned on his cane and headed into the study first.

"Let's go, grandpa is inviting you in," Xie Duo reminded.

Before leaving, Jiang Yanting gave Xie Duo a deep look, "What's with you today?" The two were arch-enemies, Xie Duo was typically indifferent to him, and suddenly he was passing pastries and kindly reminding him, something felt unusual.

"What's with me?" Just been scolded by the old man, Xie Duo was still tactful, just going through the motions. "Did you take the wrong medication?" "Or is it because my proposal was successful, and you're already conscious of being the nephew you ought to be?" Xie Duo was so agitated he gritted his teeth, could this man be any more shameless? He smirked, "You want to be my uncle? Wait till you and my aunt are married then." A knife plunged in, followed by a flow of bright red blood.

Jiang Yanting did not entangle with him much and directly entered the study...

** Elsewhere Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang left the clubhouse and did not go directly hbut went to the hospital to see Zhou Zhongqing for a follow-up.

Zhou Zhongqing was hanging an expert plaque today and was so busy he was spinning. Just as he entered his office and saw Jiang Jinsang coming in a wheel air, he slightly raised his eyebrows: quite delicate.

Having surgery on his stomach, yet acting as if his legs were disabled.

"Uncle Zhou," although she had acknowledged him as her godfather, Tang Wan had not yet changed how she addressed him, "are you very tired? You should sit down and rest a bit; I knew you were almost done on your side and prepared smonk fruit tea for you. It should be just right to drink." "Good." Zhou Zhongqing held the cup and took a sip, the sweetness permeating straight to his heart. He glanced at Jiang Jinsang with the corner of his eye and clicked his tongue helplessly: No wonder they say having a daughter is like having a little cotton-padded jacket, truly caring and warm- hearted. If it were Jiang Jinsang, he'd probably just pay lip service, telling him to rest a bit and that would be it. After drinking half a cup of tea, Zhou Zhongqing began to examine Jiang Jinsang, "Have you been exercising too often recently?" Jiang Jinsang did not respond. Could this be seen too? "The body is not a machine; your chronic condition is congenital, and even though the surgery removed it, you should also moderate your exercise. No need to talk more about the principle of moderation, right?" "I've never seen you so eager to exercise your body before, heh—" Zhou Zhongqing's tone was clearly saying: you think I don't understand your little schemes? Even Tang Wan caught the hint and coughed with her fist to her lips, “Uncle Zhou, you don't have surgery today, right?" "Uh, I'll leave on ttoday." Before, Tang Wan didn't realize being a doctor was this strenuous, especially at Zhou Zhongqing's level. Having one or two days off in a week to leave on twas already quite good.

"What will you eat tonight?" Tang Wan intended to change the subject.

"I haven't decided yet." Zhou Zhongqing stood up, stretched his back, and signaled Jiang Jinsang to fasten his coat buttons, "By the way, Wanwan, I spoke to your dad on the phone a few days ago about the recognition banquet." "There's really no need for that.” Tang Wan felt it was too exhausting.

"Nowadays, there are special organizations to handle it; I just have Honey to pay smoney.” Zhou om Zhongqing put his stethoscope, "We discussed it, you and Xiaowu haven't registered for marriage nor held an official ceremony..." Jiang Jinsang's fingers hesitated on the buttons, his intuition told him: These two fathers-in-law getting together, probably up to no good.

Sure enough, what Zhou Zhongqing continued with was like a bolt from the blue.

"We were thinking; it's not appropriate for you to continue staying at the e Jiang Family Before, there was no choice, but now that you haveas a godfather, our house is quite big, and you can move in to live with me." Tang Wan hadn't expected Zhou Zhongqing to say such a thing.

"Uncle Zhou, you're hardly home, and Wanwan will be alone most of the tif she lives at your place, it might not be very safe." Jiang Jinsang frowned.

Having avoided Tang Yunxian, another Zhou Zhongqing pops up.

Zhou Zhongqing bent to organize his stethoscope, “Living at my place isn't safe, and living at your place is safer? Don't think I don't know what you are plotting!" "As the spring warms and brings renewal, it appears speople can't restrain their fluttering spring hearts." "Lettell you, with your health condition, without my permission, you are not allowed to engage in strenuous activities. If something happens in bed, who do you want to scare to death?" Jiang Jinsang's fingers tightened slightly on the buttons: Are you saying I need your permission to be intimate with my wife? My spring heart hasn't even started fluttering, and you've already crushed it. What more do you want? Tang Wan watched as tensions rose between the two, just about to speak when someone knocked on the door, "Doctor Zhou-" "Cin!" It was Zhou's assistant doctor.

"We just received a call that Elder Xie suddenly passed out at home, he's on his way to the hospital." Zhou Zhongqing had treated Elder Xie over the years for minor ailments.

"Elder Xie?" Zhou Zhongqing frowned, "How long till he arrives?" "The nearby ambulance went, about 6 minutes to the emergency room." "I'll head over immediately. How did he pass out?" "Unclear; the family member who called didn't specify...” Zhou Zhongqing didn't even have tto address Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang as he hurried out.

Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang exchanged a glance, both showing surprise, and they followed toward the emergency room...
