Chapter 242: Yan Zhiqing Turned into a Disrespectful Brat from a Brat in Old Lady Yan’s Heart

“But I’m hospitalized now! I’m so badly injured! The doctor said that one of my legs won’t be able to heal fully anymore. That means I’ll have a limp in the future! I’ll be limping, do you understand?” Jiang Changdai shouted. Since her neck was fastened in a cast, she instantly felt a surge of pain shooting through her body after her emotions made her stretch her neck slightly.

“Then you go look for the Lu family father and son! Your leg has been crippled for them, so you ought to ask them to be responsible for you. What’s the matter with you? Why are you arguing with me? I’m telling you, Jiang Changdai, I’m only willing to find you a caregiver and pay for the full cost of your operation, medication, and hospitalization because you’re my younger sister. If someone else is was troublesome as you, I’d itch to throw them out of the family enterprise. I’d even have the heart to kill them!” Jiang Changzai slammed the table with force as he shouted at the top of his lungs.

His eyes were very red. Besides his current anger, it was also due to a lack of proper sleep.

“If you have any filial piety, then don’t stir up trouble in the future again. The Old Lady nearly died from the racket you caused!” Jiang Changzai said. He was so provoked that his voice choked up.

He did not say this to scare Jiang Changdai. When Old Lady Jiang first heard the news, she felt slightly unwell. Old Lady Jiang was not very muddled like Jiang Changdai; she knew what this meant to the Jiang Family. When she closed her eyes upon hearing the news with her face draining of color, the whole family became frightened.

“Then what about my leg?” Jiang Chandai did not even bother to check on her mother’s condition. She was wholeheartedly worried about herself. “Not a single one of you wants to come visit me?!”

“Aren’t both Lu Zhenting and his son in B City? Just get them to come see you,” Jiang Changzai sneered coldly.

Jiang Changdai’s mind immediately went blank. She was originally laying on the bed, but she subconsciously wanted to sit up.

However, how would she do so now? Even the slightest movements hurt her so much that she howled and caused trouble for everyone. The only uninjured hand was currently holding the phone, so she could not lift her hand to wipe away the tears.

“Say what? Zhenting is in B City as well?” Jiang Changdai asked in a startled manner. Then she turned her head and bellowed at the caregiver, “What the hell are you staring at me for? Raise the headboard for me. You don’t even have the slightest bit of awareness to play it by ear. What’s the point of still working as a caregiver!”

Suppressing the injustice in her heart, the caregiver moved forward to raise the headboard.

When Jiang Changzai heard how affectionately Jiang Changdai said the word “Zhenting”, his heart was filled with disgust.

“He hurried to B City on the day of the press conference. Didn’t he even tell you about this despite how close you are with him?” Jiang Changzai smiled grimly.

A bad feeling brewed in Jiang Changdai’s heart. “I…I don’t know. Maybe it’s because they’re so busy that the reporters phone calls aren’t going through.”

Jiang Changdai did not say that it was the hospital that had attempted to contact Lu Zhenting and his son.

“It couldn’t go through? Who told you this? Both of them are currently responding to reporters twenty-four seven. In fact, they’re speaking pompously to the media. Lu Zhenting insisted that you’re the one who suggested the plan to him, and that he’s also one of the victimized parties. Didn’t you know? The letter from the lawyer of the Yan Family had already been sent out. The two of them certainly wouldn’t dare to hide and disappear.” Jiang Changzai said mockingly.

Jiang Changdai did care about the Yan Family the way she did the pair of father and son. She did not even care about the Jiang Family nor ask about her mother’s condition.

Meanwhile, Jiang Changzai had completely given up as he was focused on preserving Jiang He for now. As for Jiang Changdai, he decided he would no longer regard her as his younger sister.

“I’m currently in Ning City, rushing around trying to handle the mess you caused. I haven’t really slept since the mishap happened, so I don’t have time to go to B City. If you want someone to keep you company, go look for Lu Zhenting and his son. If you don’t believe me, you can try calling their phones to see if they turned off their phones or they simply don’t want to pick up your call. As for any future matters, don’t bother me with them anymore. Since you side with Lu Family so wholeheartedly, then you can go look for them when you have any issues in the future.” Jiang Changzai laughed after he finished speaking.

She had genuine family members and relatives, yet she did not rely on them, thinking only that the father and son pair were any good. Anyone who heard of such a matter would certainly find it laughable.

“I’ve given the caregiver a month’s worth of money. If you’d like to use it, then feel free; if not, then leave it at that. Don’t look for me from now on.” Jiang Changzai hung up after he was done talking.

In Jiang Changdai’s mind, she was focusing only on what Jiang Changzai had said regarding what Lu Zhenting and his son had said to the media. She did not put even an iota of thought into the matter concerning Old Lady Jiang.

As she thought of this, she felt increasingly discontented, so she decided to make a phone call to Lu Zhenting. When she was flipping through the contacts, she realized that the phone she was using was not even hers. Instantly, she returned the phone before rudely ordering the caregiver to go get her bag and give it to her.

She immediately dialed Lu Zhenting’s number after receiving the phone. The call could go through this time, but no one picked up.

As time passed, Jiang Changdai became increasingly disheartened.

Finally, on her sixth try, the other party picked up his phone. However, it was not Lu Zhenting who picked up, but Lu Zhenghang. Regardless of who it was, she had some comfort at last.

Jiang Changdai did not even have the time to get excited before Lu Zhenghang stunned her with his words, “Aunt Jiang.”

Jiang Changdai’s lips trembled violently as tears streamed down her face. “What did you…you call me?”

“We have someone here right now, so it’s not very convenient to talk. Father has been particularly busy these past few days, so he hadn’t even bothered to eat any food.” Lu Zhenghang lowered his voice, “That’s why he didn’t contact you all this while. How’s it going over there?”

Hearing her son’s seemingly caring words, Jiang Changdai felt somewhat comforted. Nevertheless, the desire in her heart to unload her emotions grew even stronger. “No matter how busy you guys…you guys are, do take some time to come see me as well. I’m alone in the hospital and have no one to keep me company. I have offended the Yan Family extremely badly for you guy’s sake. Even Zhiqing no longer cares about me; she didn’t even inform me that she’s been discharged from the hospital. I’ve laid here for so long but she didn’t visit me. The Jiang Family also doesn’t care about me anymore. You guys are all I have left now. Zhenghang ⸺”

As Jiang Changdai was speaking, she began to cry.

Lu Zhenghang was annoyed by her crying but he suppressed the annoyance in his heart and said, “I’m currently tied up, so I’ll go see you once I have time. I know you feel wronged because of this matter. Don’t worry, dad has told me that he definitely won’t treat you badly. I’ve been rushing all over the place with dad over the past two days, and he can’t even have a good rest, which is making his eyes red. He could only sleep at 3 in the morning today, but even then, didn’t forget to ask me about your condition. Even though he barely slept for a couple of hours, soon he had to wake up to get back to work.”

Once Jiang Changdai heard what he said, she felt touched. “Then hurry and don’t bother him. Tell him that I…I can bear with it.”

…

Lin Chu did not know how difficult Jiang Changdai had it in the hospital.

This was because Wen Ren and the gang had to return to T City early the next morning. A leave of one and a half days had previously been requested for Wen Xu.

The schoolwork actually did not matter as what Wen Xu learned in the Lanshan Institution was much more advanced than the course in school. Rather, it was the training in the Lanshan Institution that could not be dropped.

Once the two Yan family elders heard of this, they scrambled to tell Yan Beicheng to invite them for a farewell dinner. They suggested that they would not attend so as to avoid making the few little ones in the Wen family feeling uneasy again.

In that case, Fang Boran, Hao Donghuai, Yuan Jiangyi, and Wei Wucai had to come as well.

Fang Boran even brought Lu Nanxi and arrived at Sheng Yue together. After supposing that the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the Lu Family no doubt missed their grandson and granddaughter, he also brought the two kids along.

However, the kids had had too much fun over the past two days so they were very tired. Besides, his father-in-law and mother-in-law truly could not bear to be apart from the kids. After all, they would be leaving tomorrow so he had the two children stay at the Lu Residence to continue bonding with their grandparents.

Yan Zhiqing initially did not have to go as she was still injured. After all, it would inconvenience others if she went out. Not to mention, she was not even familiar with the Wen Family. The last time that Wen Ren and his family came to the Family Mansion, she did not really talk to them, nor did she have much to talk about with Fang Jiaran.

Fang Jiaran, on the contrary, got along pretty well with Yu Zi and Lin Chu. They were all married and both Fang Jiaran and Yu Zi had given birth before whereas Lin Chu was a soon-to-be mom who would be delivering a child shortly. The three of them did not have to beat around the bush looking for a conversational topic. If the topic was on the kids, they could talk endlessly for hours at a time. Thus, Yan Zhiqing did not butt in.

Besides, she…she was not close to Yu Zi and Lin Chu. She did not think of trying to get close to them was the most appropriate thing to do.

Yu Zi also left it at that. How could Lin Chu compare with her?

However, Old Lady Yan felt that Jiang Changdai had improperly raised Yan Zhiqing since she was young. Old Lady Yan certainly did not trust the character of those who could vibe well with Jiang Changdai. After all, birds of a feather flocked together.
