Chapter 84: 084 Wuye: What I want... is only her Chapter 84: 084 Wuye: What I want... is only her Tang Yunxian was making inquiries on one side, trying to find out who had leaked the news to Elder Tang, while the TV station's recording stuwas far from quiet.
Although this was only a program recording, not a live broadcast, the Tang Family didn't contain the spread of the news, and everything that happened had already been reported on the inteby reporters who had infiltrated the crowd.
"The Tang Family's grand feud, a modern-day Farmer and the Viper." "Shocking! The noble lady of the past, now clanking into prison." "There is a hidden secret behind Elder Tang's fainting, and the culprit is..." Various headlines swarmed the internet, and reporters attracted by the news, as well as onlookers eager for a spectacle, had already filled the TV station.
Despite the police's thorough preparations, when they escorted Zhang Liyun and her daughter out, they still faced attacks from sof the more aggressive members of the public.
"She's too wicked, Elder Tang is such a good person, and yet she dared to be so vicious. Biting the hand that feeds her, she'll get her just deserts!" "You're not even worth a finger of the former Mrs. Tang. A sparrow may aspire to beca phoenix by perching on a branch, but it's still not a phoenix." "Officer, two attempted murders on Elder Tang-if it's not the death penalty, she must be sentenced to life imprisonment, right? Everything she uses is provided by the Tang Family, an ungrateful wretch." The crowd was abuzz with comments, and Tang Mo, who had never seen such a scene before, hung her head, her whole body trembling. Hearing the words “death penalty” erupt from the crowd, her feet slipped, and she fell straight down the stairs.
The police were trying to disperse the crowd on one hand and escort them on the other, and they didn't manage to catch Tang Mo as she tumbled down.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSof the overzealous people who were close by had already rushed over and stepped on her a couple of times.
"Momo" Zhang Liyun felt heartbroken but was powerless to help.
* At this time, Tang Wan was still sitting in the car on the way back to the hospital. The news of Tang Mo's fall and trampling had spread all over the internet. The police were around, and it wouldn't cost someone their life, but she would definitely suffer from bruises and scrapes.
From the corner of her eye, she saw her grandfather holding Jiang Jinsang's hand, "...Xiaowu, I really owe you for this time. If it wasn't for you, these old bones of mine would have either been smashed to death or frozen in this cold weather." "This is what I should do, you really don't need to be so polite." Elder Tang looked at Jiang Jinsang with increasing satisfaction, "I originally left you to recuperate in Pingjiang, but I didn't expect to keep troubling you." "I heard that when Wanwan's dad didn't return, it was you who looked after her in the hospital. When He An tried to take advantage of Wanwan, you were the one to promptly stop him. Just think, for all these deeds, our Tang Family can't thank you enough." "Saving a life is no trivial matter. Tell grandfather, is there anything you want? As long as I can make it happen." What he wanted...
Her, of course! Jiang Jinsang's eyes involuntarily glanced at Tang Wan.
When their eyes met, Tang Wan felt a jolt in her heart: Why are you looking at me? The old man, being sharp, noticed his gaze passing over himself and landing on his granddaughter. Just as he was about to speak, Tang Wan's phone vibrated. She quickly answered, "Hello-Grandpa..." Jiang Jinsang's lips were pressed tightly. This was definitely not a Zhang Family member. Zhang Liyun's parents had passed away early, leaving only the siblings to rely on each other, so...
Did Tang Wan have another grandpa? This relative had never shown face, and the Tang Family rarely mentioned them. Jiang Jinsang had not paid much mind to it.
"...There's nothing wrong on my end, everything is taken care of. It must be late over there, go rest early." After hanging up the phone, Elder Tang explained: "After Wanwan's mother passed away, she was the only child left in their family. Her grandmother was devastated, and fearing the memories, she moved abroad early on. They only return twice or thrice a year. In fact, her father's trip this twasn't just for work; as the year-end approaches, he probably went there again. That's why I told him not to rush back and to spend stwith them...” Jiang Jinsang nodded. It was a great sorrow in life for the elderly to send off the young! If it was their only daughter... The impact was imaginable.
The mention of Tang Wan's birth mother seemed to cast a pall over the atmosphere in the car. Jiang Jinsang didn't press further, but changed the subject, "Grandpa Tang, did you leave with the doctor's approval?" The old man suddenly looked out the window, "Xiaowu, do you see that ancient city wall? It's said to be over a thousand years old." Jiang Jinsang: "Are you trying to change the subject?" Old Master Tang chuckled dryly, "Is it that obvious?" Tang Wan: Anyone with half a brain could see it! Jiang Jinsang: "Uncle Zhou is not in the best of moods." This Uncle Zhou was naturally the medical authority from Beijing-Zhou Zhongqing, the one who had previously treated Jiang Jinsang.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Tang snorted, “What can he do to me? I have a temper too!" ** In the hospital Jiangjiang fiddled with a model toy at his side and turned to look at the person next to him, who had offered to peel an apple for him. The apple had been peeled down to just the core.
"Uncle Qi? Are you okay?" "I'm fine." Qi Zeyan had been preoccupied with the TV station's situation and, having learned it was resolved, he cursed himself for missing the opportunity to impress. However, upon thinking it over and looking at the empty hospital bed, his scalp practically exploded.
The news of Old Master Tang waking up was closely guarded by the Tang Family. To Tang Yunxian, Qi Zeyan was definitely an outsider; there was no way he would be informed.
Jiang Jinsang had his own motives, so he naturally wouldn't tell him either.
Qi Zeyan knew about the TV station issue; even if he couldn't be of much help, he could still cto show support, so he got himself ready bright and early and rushed to the hospital room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that time, only Tang Wan and Jiangjiang were there, with the old gentleman lying on the hospital bed with an IV, seemingly still in a deep slumber.
As he knocked and entered, Tang Wan frowned: Why is this guy here again? "General Manager Qi, the Fifth Master is not here." Tang Yunxian had gone to the TV station earlier, and Tang Wan, worried, had allowed Jiang Jinsang to accompany him.
"It's okay." Qi Zeyan was secretly gleeful-that was even better. But then, he caught sight sight of a little light bulb in his peripheral vision and frowned slightly; there was also this little third wheel, "I know your family had an incident, I cspecifically to check." "General Manager Qi, we..." Tang Wan tried to stop him, but the man was too quick with his mouth, spilling everything out.
"That family is despicable, wanting to expose you guys on the TV station. Miss Tang, if there's anything you need help with, just say it—" Qi Zeyan hadn't finished his words when he saw the old man, previously lying on the bed, sit up with a jolt.
"Holy shit!" He was so startled his whole body shuddered, and his face went pale.
This was... playing dead!
"What TV station?" Old Master Tang had awakened the night before, been checked over by the doctor and specialists, eaten something, and only after much ado had been put to sleep in the latter part of the night. Qi Zeyan arrived while he had not quite been clear-headed, and just the mention of the TV station had made him bolt upright. "Grandpa, it's nothing; don't move around, you're still hooked up to the IV!" Tang Wan was frustrated—Qi Zeyan was just a blabbermouth.
What happened after was completely uncontrollable. Old Master Tang was not easily fooled; he changed his clothes and insisted on leaving, and Tang Wan could only follow.
Just as Qi Zeyan was about to accompany them, Tang Wan stopped him, "You stay to take care of Jiangjiang!" "..." After they left, Qi Zeyan looked at the little guy, "Jiangjiang, did I do something wrong?" The little guy looked at him earnestly, "There's still tto run away now."
Qi Zeyan wanted to chase after Tang Wan. How could he possibly take off? So he was left to face the music in e the hospital. Tang Yunxian had wanted him to get lost, was he done for? Even Wanwan's gaze seemed off...
