Chapter 497: 317 scolds Jiang Chengsi: Is the Jiang Family going to ruin the child? Tang Wan was entangled by Jiang Jinsang all night yesterday, he woke up energetic, while she slept in until the sun was high in the sky.

When she got downstairs, she saw the old lady trimming a branch with a pair of scissors wrapped in red thread. The old lady smiled at her when she saw her out of the corner of her eye, "Awake?" "Grandma..." Tang Wan was somewhat embarrassed because she got up late, "I went to bed a bit late last night, so..." "Xiaowu told us, he said you went to bed late, so we didn't disturb you." "Xiaowu said that?" "We understand, grandma isn't sold fogey, you just cback from Pingjiang, and that boy was bound to pester you..." The old lady's smile carried a bit of mischievousness, "Xiaowu has been quite persuasive since he was young, not many can endure it, but Wanwan..." "He doesn't know when to stop, you can't follow his nonsense, sthings need to be just right, no rush, right?" Tang Wan understood the implication, and her face burned with embarrassment.

It seemed in the future, she needed to lock her door when she slept.

Tang Wan hadn't had breakfast yet when she received a call from Zhou Zhongqing, suggesting they have lunch together and discuss the matters regarding the family recognition banquet. However, Zhou Zhongqing still had a few patients to see, so they decided to meet at the hospital.

"You're going to the hospital, please check on the Xie Family while you're there. I also called them last night, they said the person hasn't woken up yet, needs rest, and they're not allowing visitors. You go over, even if you can't see them, at least we've been there," the old lady instructed.

Tang Wan nodded in agreement. Jiang Jinsang cback from exercising outside and saw her leaving. He intended to follow...

"You want to go out again?" The old lady held the scissors, "We especially moved to the old house for speace and quiet, for you to recuperate, and you're itching to run outside." "Uncle Zhou said it's good to go outside and breathe sfresh air." Jiang Jinsang found various reasons to want to go outside.

Tang Wan looked at him, "I'm going to see Uncle Zhou, and you want to calong?" Jiang Jinsang frowned and didn't say a word.

After all, he was going to be one of his future fathers-in-law, not someone he could afford to offend.

** Inside the hospital Tang Wan bought flowers and fruit, and first went to visit Elder Xie's ward. She still wasn't allowed in, and the Xie Family members were all guarding outside. When they saw her, they naturally exchanged courtesies.

There were many visitors today. Although they couldn't enter, people stood outside the door and comforted the Xie Family. Tang Wan didn't stay long due to the crowd.

However, she and Zhou Zhongqing were already at the parking lot, ready to go for lunch, when she unexpectedly received a call from Jiang Chengsi.

"Hello, Chengsi? How cyou have tto call me?" Zhou Zhongqing answered the phone while fastening the seat belt with one hand, "What's that? The kid fell?" Tang Wan, who was initially sending a message to Jiang Jinsang from the passenger seat, instantly becalarmed.

It was the weekend, and Jiang Chengsi had taken the two kids out, which the Jiang Family and she knew about.

"When will you reach the hospital? Okay, I'll wait for you in my office." Zhou Zhongqing ended the call, ready to get out of the car.

"Uncle Zhou? Who fell?" "Taotao!" Tang Wan's heart pounded. She hurriedly followed him to the office. Zhou Zhongqing had just gotten dressed when Jiang Chengsi arrived with the child. Apart from Jiangjiang who followed behind with red-rimmed eyes, there were a few others, three dressed in racing suits and one in a business suit, looking like a manager. "Put her here!" Zhou Zhongqing had a bed, and he told them to gently lay the child down. Taotao's clothes were scuffed and dirty, her neatly tied ponytail was now loose and sagging. Her forehead was scraped, and the palms of her hands had blood beads, but the protective gear on her head, elbows, and knees seemed to have prevented any injuries. However, when Zhou Zhongqing tried to remove the gear, she kept on crying out in pain.

"Endure it for a bit, grandpa is going to check on you." For Zhou Zhongqing's age, it wasn't inappropriate for a child to call him grandpa.

And his assistant was already prepared with iodine, alcohol for disinfection, and the like.

Zhou Zhongqing looked toward Jiang Chengsi, "Jiang Chengsi, you took her to..." It was clear from the protective gear on Taotao and the people in professional racing outfits behind him what they had been up to.

"It's dangerous even for adults, you really..." Zhou Zhongqing could only soothe her while he took off Taotao's protective gear.

"I've done a preliminary check, the bones don't seem injured, but I still want to bring her in for a check-up." Jiang Chengsi stood on the side, looking very solemn.

There were medical personnel on standby at the racing track, responsible for emergency care, but ultimately, they'd still need to bring casualties to the hospital.

Zhou Zhongqing frowned and signaled his assistant to pull the curtains around the bed for privacy before he began examining Taotao.

Other than the clearly visible injuries, the rest of her body bore marks from bumps and knocks, no broken skin or bleeding, but there was redness, swelling, and bruising. With such tender skin, it was no wonder she was in severe pain.

"Uncle Zhou, Taotao's okay, isn't she?" Jiang Chengsi reached up to scratch his hair, feeling somewhat restless. "Should we get an X-ray to check, or does she need to stay in the hospital for a couple of days?" "I wasn't paying attention at the time, I didn't take good care of her." Zhou Zhongqing's voice cfrom inside, “Can you shut up?” Jiang Chengsi: "..." Tang Wan had already taken Jiangjiang aside and poured him a cup of hot water. Though usually everyone called him the little Demon King or the little ancestor, he was after all just a child, still in shock, his little face pale and his small hands trembling slightly.

"Don't be afraid, your sister will be fine," Tang Wan held his hand tightly, soothing him in a low voice. "Really? Will she be okay?" "Definitely." Before her words had finished, the office door suddenly burst open. The ones who entered were none other than Du Jinglan and Xie Tongtong, who had clearly heard the news and rushed over.

"Where's Taotao?" Du Jinglan was visibly anxious, but Zhou Zhongqing was still treating her wounds, the assistant blocked her, preventing her from seeing.

"Mrs. Xie, please calm down. The child is fine; the teacher is taking care of her."

"How did she fall?" Du Jinglan glanced at the people inside the office, noticing Jiangjiang wearing protective gear and Jiang Chengsi being there, she understood immediately and couldn't help but sneer. "Taotao was always so well-behaved and obedient, she never did anything dangerous. In our home, we never let her get hurt, so how is it that she gets injured as soon as she's with the Jiang Family?" "Is this how the Jiang Family brings up children?" "I am responsible for this incident, it is indeed my fault." Jiang Chengsi was never someone to shirk responsibility. If a child got hurt on his watch, he would definitely own up.

In Beijing, he was notorious for his unruly behavior, never playing by the rules, and being particularly outlandish, not just in the Jiang Family, but in the entire Beijing circle as well.

People inevitably viewed him through tinted lenses, and Du Jinglan was no exception.

"Taking kids to play with Racing Cars?" "What you do with your life is none of my business, but you shouldn't bring harm to the children." "She's still so young, and you're letting her play with these things, it seems like you're intentionally trying to ruin her!"

Jiang Chengsi initially thought, since Taotao grew up in the Xie Family, Du Jinglan's panic and irritation were normal, kie was willing to let her vent, but as she spoke, her words becincreasingly nasty, especially the disdainful and contemptuous look she gave him. He wasn't someone with a good temper either and responded with a laugh, "Mrs. Xie, you should be careful with your words!" "That tone, are you threatening me? The child had an accident in your care, and you still think you're right?" "I failed to look after her properly, I am responsible. You can reprimandfor that, but to say I want to ruin her? I simply wanted to make her happy." Du Jinglan snorted derisively, "Are you implying that Taotao was unhappy in the Xie Family?" "If you're determined to misinterpret my words, there's nothing I can do about it," Jiang Chengsi chuckled.

"You..." Du Jinglan was just about to speak when Zhou Zhongqing pulled back the curtain, his expression dark, "Are you done yet? Get out, both of you. This is a hospital, not a place for you to raise your voices." His voice was stern, clearly scolding both for their inappropriate behavior.

Thick-skinned, Jiang Chengsi didn't take it to heart, whereas Du Jinglan, who had never been reprimanded like this, turned pale with embarrassment.

It was the weekend, and Shen Zhixian had been at hsorting out seasonal clothes for the childrenn when she received the call and hurried to the Hospital. Meanwhile, a piece of news suddenly appeared online, claiming that Jiang Chengsi often took the two children racing and speeding through the streets. Initially, this report received mixed reviews, but it was quickly followed by news of Taotao's accident, tipping the scales entirely in one direction...
