Chapter 407: 262 Engagement Eve, Unexpected Guest [Lantern Festival Message]

Two days before the engagement

Tang Wan was in the courtyard, watering the green plants with a pink watering can, while talking to Jiang Jinsang

on the phone via a Bluetooth headset. An engagement was not as complicated as a marriage; there weren't so

many troublesthings, so she was relatively free.

It was said that there had been snow in Beijing a few days ago, but Pingjiang had already experienced spring

rains, with flowers blooming across half the city.

"Will Mr. Shen and his family cwith you?" Tang Wan had also invited Shen Zhixian to her engagement.

"Yes." As the engagement was approaching, Jiang Jinsang seemed radiant and rejuvenated.

"Have you been following the doctor's advice lately, taking supplements and exercising..."

Ever since Jiang Jinsang agreed to have the surgery, Tang Wan had returned to Pingjiang and nagged him about

his meals three times a day like a mother. Qi Zeyan even joked that he might end up marrying a mother.

"Yes, you lately..."

Jiang Jinsang hadn't finished speaking when Tang Wan’s phone vibrated. A call from Beijing interrupted, "Brother,

I need to take this call."

"Hello—"

"Miss Tang, we are from the Hexi Police Station in Beijing. You're not currently in Beijing, right..."

"Yes."

It was nothing other than the case involving Jiang Shuyan, and there were sdetails they needed to confirm

with her.

"... She becfree from life-threatening danger last night, but her legs are basically disabled. The doctor said

even with good rehabilitation, she won't be able to walk like a normal person. In the worst-case scenario, she will

need a wheelchair for mobility and will be disabled for life."

Tang Wan held the watering can in her hands and continued to water the plants without saying a word.

"This morning we went to the hospital room to question her, but she was quite agitated and uncooperative with

the investigation."

Her reaction was expected; Jiang Shuyan was a proud person, and given her young age and the disability of her

legs, she must find it difficult to accept.

"Her family would like to discuss compensation with you, to seek leniency for her. They will probably contact you

soon..."

"I understand."

"No problem, | heard you are getting engaged. Congratulations."

"Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Wan continued her long chat with Jiang Jinsang.

"Whose call was it?" Jiang Jinsang sat by the window, basking in the sunlight. There had been a heavy snow a

few days ago, and although it had melted, the temperatures had dropped a few degrees more than usual. He

was covered with a thin blanket over his knees.

"It was from the police station, still about Jiang Shuyan."

"Any problems?"

"Just the sold issues..."

"That's good then."

Jiang Jinsang was poking at the shell of Lord Wansui.

Lord Wansui was lazily munching on dried shrimp, completely ignoring him.

Can't you see I'm eating? Stop bothering me!

It slowly moved its body, but because it was too slow, Jiang Jinsang caught it and pulled it back, repeatedly,

which made Jinsang chuckle quietly and call it, "Silly tortoise."

Lord Wansui: ...

After Tang Wan hung up the phone, she tidied up the flowers and plants in the courtyard a bit, then heard

footsteps outside, followed by Shen Shuci appearing.

"Aunt."

"Jiang Zhaolin is here."

Tang Wan'’s brow furrowed, and she hurriedly wiped the dust off her hands. "What is he doing here?"

Since the incident with Jiang Shuyan, she hadn’t seen Jiang Zhaolin again.

"I'm not sure, but your brother-in-law is hosting him."

"Are grandpa, and my grandparents..."

"They went to the small park for a walk and haven't returned yet."

"Let’s go and see."

At the Tang family’s front hall, Tang Yunxian sat opposite Jiang Zhaolin. Outside, the spring was mild and warm,

and Hua Mei was chirping under the corridor, yet the atmosphere inside was slightly eerie.

"Mr. Jiang." The housemaid served him tea and then stood aside, watching quietly.

"Have stea." Mr. Tang Yunxian was polite and seemed very amiable. He looked up and greeted Jiang Zhaolin

with a smile. Yet, as he lowered his eyes to drink the tea, there was a shadow in his eyes that would not disperse.

"Thank you."

During the tit took to drink tea, Tang Wan had already arrived from the East Courtyard, "Dad, Uncle Jiang."

"Sit." Tang Yunxian patted the spot beside him.

Tang Wan had already noticed the pile of gifts on the table beside her, likely brought by him.

"I might not be available on the day itself, so | took the opportunity to cover today since | was free," Jiang

Zhaolin looked at Tang Wan. "Congratulations."

"Thank you."

She had just received the phone call from the police station, and then Jiang Zhaolin had suddenly shown up from

far away; she could guess the purpose of his visit.

Meanwhile, in the Jiang family’s residence in Beijing

Jiang Jinsang was still teasing the tortoise, Lord Wansui, who retracted into his shell, refusing to deal with him,

yet Jinsang still continued poking.

"Sir—" Jiang Cuo knocked and entered the room, "Jiang Zhaolin has gone to Pingjiang."

"He must be trying to gain leniency for Jiang Shuyan. | wonder how the Tang family will handle it. You and Miss

Tang are about to get engaged, and many people are keeping an eye on it."

Jiang Jinsang glanced at his watch. "At this hour, grandfather and my grandfathers should have gone out for a

walk. He really knows how to pick the time."

He had lived with the Tang family for a long time, and the elderly were very regular in their routines: tai chi in the

morning and chess in the afternoon.

"Seems like it..."

"You can go now; | need to make a phone call."

Jiang Cuo walked out of the room, puzzled, and it took him a while to realize.
