Chapter 432: Chapter 423: Something Really Happened
"What does your injury have to do with Jiang Lingxi?"
Zhang Lingxuan quickly turned her head to look over, meeting her husband’s inquisitive gaze, "You, you heard wrong."
Qian Yisheng was certain he hadn’t heard wrong and was sure his wife hadn’t said this because she was in a confused state. But looking at her face, still lacking much color, he swallowed more questions, "If you don’t want to talk about it now, then don’t. Just focus on getting better."
"Where are Mom and Dad?"
Since she was already in the hospital, it must have been her parents who brought her here. But where were they now?
"Mom and Dad went back to rest for now. I’m staying the night. Nannan is with my sister. She’ll bring Nannan to see you at the hospital tomorrow."
"What about Grandpa? Did Grandpa come?"
"I didn’t see Grandfather." Qian Yisheng furrowed his brow, "Was he here tonight too?"
If even Grandfather was here, who would dare harm his wife?
Zhang Lingxuan turned her head away, clearly refusing to answer.
Her uncontrollable trembling hands revealed her current panic.
She had fainted, and Grandfather hadn’t even come to see her.
Was he disappointed in her, or had he really decided to abandon her?
No, it can’t be. Grandfather had adored her since she was little. Besides, Xu Ling’an wasn’t really in trouble. As long as she behaves well in the future, Grandfather will surely forgive her.
"Lingxuan, Lingxuan?"
Qian Yisheng’s brow furrowed even deeper, "You just woke up, you shouldn’t get too emotional. If there’s anything, you can tell me. I’m your husband; is there anything you can’t tell me?"
"No, nothing." Zhang Lingxuan first shook her head in denial, then suddenly sat up and hugged him, "Yisheng, I only have you now, you’re all I have! Waaa, they’ve all abandoned me, they don’t want me anymore!"
Qian Yisheng hugged his emotionally agitated wife, softly comforting her, while firmly believing in his heart.
Something big happened tonight that he didn’t know about.
And it involved Jiang Lingxi!

The extended business car stopped at the alley entrance. Xu Ling’an got out of the car, seeing his brother-in-law also wanting to get out with him, he quickly said, "It’s just a short distance left. I’ll jog there in two minutes. You don’t have to see me off."
Shen Yunqing, thinking it would be hard to explain when he met Gao Family’s grandma later, just nodded, "Don’t overthink when you get home. Rest well and prepare for school."
Xu Ling’an smiled broadly and nodded heavily, "I know, brother-in-law, sister also reminded me. Everyone has to bear the consequences for their actions. Don’t let irrelevant people affect your mood."
Shen Yunqing handed over a box, "Take it. Our numbers are saved inside. Just remember these words, and go back."
Xu Ling’an hesitated but took it, "Thank you, brother-in-law." She slightly bowed and left.
She walked all the way to the doorstep, looked back, and saw the car lights slowly fading away.
"An’an?"
Xu Ling’an looked up at the second-floor balcony, "Grandma."
"Come in quickly, why are you back so late? Did you have dinner?"
"Not yet. There was something to handle at Grandfather’s side. They couldn’t attend to me, so I came back."
"Then Grandma will go down and make you some noodles."
The steaming noodles were brought to the table, a pair of chopsticks was stuffed into her hands, and the aroma of sesame oil greeted her warmly. Xu Ling’an blinked hard.
She quickly picked up a bite and put it in her mouth, "It smells so good, it’s so delicious!"
"Looks like you were starving. Don’t worry, Grandma cooked plenty this time. There’s more in the pot if it’s not enough. An’an, what happened at your Grandfather’s place, is it serious?"
Unexpectedly coming back to stay again.
Could it be that the old man is ill?
If he’s in the hospital, given An’an’s character, she should have gone there, not come here!
"Yes, something happened at my grandfather’s eldest son’s house, and Grandfather needs to handle it."
Upon hearing it was about her granddaughter’s not-so-close uncle, Gao Lan immediately lost interest in probing the issue, "Since your Grandfather is busy, stay home and keep me company. When your school starts, if your Grandfather is still busy, you have Grandma!"
"Hmm hmm."
While Xu Ling’an and Gao Lan had a warm ambiance, Zhang Nachuan’s place was utterly desolate.
Zhang Ye watched the old man enter the room with Madam Nalan’s memorial tablet, locked the door behind him, and then there was no sound. He didn’t dare to leave, so he stood guard at the door.
In case something happened to the old man inside, he could respond immediately.
The scent of sandalwood filled the room.
Zhang Nachuan lit incense for his wife’s tablet, and then he sat trembling on a mat beside it, motionless.
"Ayue, I’m really in pain right now!"
"This child Lingxuan, we watched her grow up. How did she become like this?"
"Do you know what she did today? She actually... No, it’s better not to say, lest you hear it and get angry down there."
"This child is self-destructive. It’s really unstoppable. I’m truly disappointed in her this time!"
"I originally planned to leave all those dowries to her. After all, Anfeng will let Xiaozhou inherit the company in the future. Then An’an came along, and I thought I shouldn’t favor one over the other. They’re both girls, so I decided to give them half each."
"Human greed is insatiable! Ayue, I’m giving your dowries to our granddaughter. You wouldn’t mind, right? You’ve seen that child. She’s obedient and sensible. She suffered a lot of grievances this time, and I still don’t know how to face her. The least I can do is try to make it up to her."
The wind quietly opened a crack in the door. Zhang Ye cautiously reached out, intending to close it, when he heard intermittent sounds coming from inside.
He couldn’t help but sigh after hearing it all.
Even he must admit, Zhang Lingxuan really messed things up this time.
He knew a thing or two about Chen Rui’s conduct, and dealing with him wouldn’t end well!
If she heard the old man’s original plan, considering what he knew of Zhang Lingxuan’s nature, she’d likely go crazy.
She could’ve gotten half of the old lady’s dowry, but now she gets nothing.
No, according to that Miss Jiang’s intent, in the future, besides the surname Zhang, Zhang Lingxuan has nothing to do with the Zhang Family financially.
What she did was, simply put, impressive!

"Achoo!"
Jiang Lingxi rubbed her itchy nose.
Suspecting that Zhang Lingxuan might be cursing her right now.
Lu Zhengzheng, on the other hand, was very worried. She quickly pulled a jacket from her bag and draped it over Jiang Lingxi, then handed her a cup of freshly brewed hot water, "Xixi, drink some hot water to warm up. The weather here on the Gobi is really something. Just one rain, and the temperature dropped at least ten degrees!"
The main thing is there’s still a scene to shoot. According to the schedule, Xixi has to wrestle with someone in the mud.
Thinking about it, she couldn’t help but curse the director who planned this scene.
It’s so cold, and they have to roll in the mud. Why don’t you try doing it yourself?!
The key is, Xixi and another lead agreed to it!
The moon after the rain was exceptionally bright, and the set was lit with big night lights, illuminating the area for half a mile around as if it were daytime.
Jiang Lingxi drank half a cup of hot water, stood up, took off the coat Lu Zhengzheng had covered her with, accepted the prop weapon handed to her, gave it a couple of swings to get the feel, and walked onto the set.
Chong Yin had a curved knife this time, his neat clothes wrapping his sleek form as he stepped through the muddy water to Jiang Lingxi, his steps pausing slightly.
This one’s murderous aura tonight seems a bit too obvious, doesn’t it?
