Chapter 363: Chapter 357: Ants on a Hot Pot, Decision to Acknowledge Relatives_2

Jing Huai held his breath, not speaking, so the assistant who had just put down the luggage had to step up.

"Sister Wen, this wound on Brother Huai was accidentally scratched by Teacher Xu Qingmei with a nail. At first, we both didn’t notice, thinking that such a shallow wound would scab over soon. It wasn’t until we got back to the hotel that someone pointed out, and Brother Huai found the wound was still bleeding."

"Afterwards, I went to the pharmacy to buy some hemostatic ointment, but Brother Huai’s wound got unbearably itchy after applying it. I didn’t believe it at first, so I tried it myself and found no issue. With no other option, that’s why we came to the hospital."

Li Yuwen found it incredible after hearing that, but looking at the expressions of the two in front of her, they didn’t seem to be faking it, "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said it might be because Brother Huai’s coagulation function is relatively poor, but Brother Huai insisted on having the blood from the wound tested, and now the test results aren’t out yet."

Li Yuwen turned to Jing Huai, "I remember when you got a cut on your calf while filming with a wire, the doctor didn’t say anything about coagulation issues, right?"

He didn’t know what was wrong with him, but precisely because he knew he didn’t have any coagulation disorders, he couldn’t help but panic, shaking his head dejectedly, "No."

"Did Xu Qingmei have any nail polish or something like that on her nails?"

As a fellow woman, Li Yuwen knew that some of today’s nail polishes contain a lot of chemicals, some of which are harmful to the human body and might hinder wound healing.

Jing Huai thought carefully, "Probably not, but maybe it was clear polish."

Li Yuwen irritably waved her hand, "Forget it, anyway it’s already been exposed online, leaving the hospital won’t help now, so let’s just wait for the test results."

Seeing Li Yuwen like this, Jing Huai knew she didn’t yet know Jiang Lingxi had already posted a clarification, momentarily hesitating to speak.

Li Yuwen understood him better than he thought, seeing his expression, she immediately had a bad premonition, "Something hasn’t happened again, has it?"

"Jiang Lingxi, she posted a clarification half an hour ago, restoring all the fake photos that appeared online. I didn’t expect her to act so quickly this time! And now, a lot of people who saw the clarification are suspecting that I orchestrated it myself."

Li Yuwen, who had just gotten off the plane half an hour ago: "..."

She couldn’t help but pinch her own nose bridge.

She was thinking about getting admitted to the hospital too!

The three people in the room, immersed in anxiety, didn’t notice a nonchalant figure passing by the door.

Xiyuan.

Near four in the afternoon, the rain that had lasted nearly all day finally stopped.

Soon after, the sky cleared completely.

In the pavilion by the lake, Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing sat facing each other.

On the stone table in front of them was a laptop.

Intermittent voices came out from it.

Upon hearing that Jing Huai also asked the doctor to test his blood, Jiang Lingxi raised an eyebrow, "It seems this person isn’t entirely foolish."

Shen Yunqing reluctantly nodded his head, "Well, that way, there’ll be two sets of test data to reference."

Then, listening to Li Yuwen and Jing Huai discuss how to deal with her clarification post, Jiang Lingxi idly looked at the lake in front of her as she listened.

A swarm of ants on a hot pan, hardly worth worrying about; it was better to look at the lake.

This lake wasn’t very large; after all, it was a private residence.

But in modern times, having a private lake like this was already rare.

The breeze blew, and looking at the shimmering lake under the sunlight, along with the blooming water lilies by the shore and the row of spruce trees on the opposite bank she had seen in photos before, the scenery in front of Jiang Lingxi suddenly reminded her of a little cutie she saw months ago.

Thinking of it, she spoke up, "By the way, do you remember that I once saved a black turtle?"

With her mention, Shen Yunqing recalled, "Of course I remember, after all, in my life I’ve only seen that one black turtle over a hundred years old. But why do you suddenly bring it up?"

Jiang Lingxi withdrew her gaze from the lake and smiled at Shen Yunqing with some pride, "Well, you’d never guess, it’s still alive, and I’ve even seen and touched it. Wouldn’t you call that fate?"

This time, Shen Yunqing was truly astonished; there was no reason for Her Majesty to lie to him, so it must be true.

"So, it has indeed lived for over a thousand years! When did Your Majesty see it? Wait, could it be, during that ’Survival’ live broadcast a few months ago?"

After all, such a big black turtle could only appear in remote wilderness.

And the only time the person in front of him had recorded a program in the wild was during that ’Survival’ live broadcast.

"Did you watch that broadcast too?" Jiang Lingxi could hardly imagine this person holding a phone, watching the live stream, "Yes, it was at that lake at the end, it’s living there now."

"That night I heard some noise by the lake, and I thought it was the water monster people talked about during the day coming ashore, so I quietly went to check..."

Before she could finish sharing her experience of that night, Jiang Lingxi’s phone on the table suddenly lit up.

Shen Yunqing instinctively glanced at it, "It’s An’an."

Jiang Lingxi stopped speaking and answered the call.

"Sister."

"I’m here, have you spoken to Grandma about the paternity test yet?"

"Yes, and Brother Xiao Lei is also here. Grandma said she’s very happy for me."

"But why do you still sound so down?"

"But I can feel that Grandma is still a bit sad. Mr. Zhang has other children, but Grandma only has me."

Jiang Lingxi narrowed her eyes slightly, "Did Grandma say anything else?"

"Grandma said now that the test results are confirmed, we shouldn’t keep them waiting too long, lest they think we’re being pretentious. It’s best to meet officially as soon as possible."

"Grandma makes a good point."

Jiang Lingxi agreed that it was best to meet soon, though not because Zhang Nachuan seemed eager, but she wanted to see what attitude the rest of the Zhang Family had towards Xu Ling’an.

It’s not that she was overly suspicious, but it had been nearly two decades, and suddenly a new relative appeared. Some might accept it well, while others might not be able to.

"Sister, when it’s time for the recognition, could you come with me? I think I might get a bit nervous."

Listening to Xu Ling’an’s cautious voice, Jiang Lingxi agreed without hesitation, "Alright."

If Xu Ling’an hadn’t said anything, she would only have watched silently.

But now that she mentioned it, she was definitely going.

The sister she found, naturally, no one could bully her!

"Then, I’ll call Mr. Zhang later to discuss the meeting."

"Yeah, there’s no rush to go back to the crew tonight, take the chance to stay at home with Grandma. You don’t have to rush over tomorrow; I’ll talk to Director Wei."

"Okay, thank you, Sister."

After hanging up, Jiang Lingxi put the phone down, "An’an’s Grandma’s reaction was just as I expected."

A granddaughter who she had raised was finally found by her blood relatives. No matter how reluctant she felt, Gao Lan would not stop Xu Ling’an from recognizing them.

Having more family members to love her child, she might be sad, but also happy.

"I just wonder what Zhang Nachuan’s eldest son’s family thinks of An’an."

You can’t blame her for being realistic; it’s been like this throughout history.

Once An’an officially joins the family with a clear identity, given Zhang Nachuan’s wealth, having an additional heir, especially one he originally felt guilty about, he would likely favor and compensate An’an.

Beyond emotional favoritism, it’s also about material compensation.

But to the other members of the Zhang Family, will An’an be a niece or sister they are glad to have found again, or someone who takes away what should have been theirs?

Before meeting the rest of the Zhang Family, Jiang Lingxi remained cautious about this.
