Chapter 438: Chapter 429: Unlucky Child

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Lingxi looked at Wei Minmin and Pei Xinyuan who sat down nearby.

"I have a question for you."

"What question?" Wei Minmin patted her chest confidently, "I promise to tell you everything I know."

Pei Xinyuan nodded along.

"Under what circumstances would you feel nauseated when you hear the word ’boyfriend’?"

Wei Minmin: "..."

Pei Xinyuan: "..."

The two exchanged glances for a moment before Pei Xinyuan hesitantly opened her mouth and leaned in closer to ask softly, "Sister Xixi, are you having conflicts with your boyfriend?"

This situation seems a bit serious!

Jiang Lingxi pushed her shoulder lightly, shaking her head with a wry smile, "There’s nothing like that, we never have conflicts. This time we are just talking things over."

"Oh, oh, that’s good then."

Wei Minmin also breathed a sigh of relief, touching her chin in thought, "Well, if thinking of a boyfriend makes me nauseated, it would be cheating. I absolutely cannot tolerate cheating. If my future boyfriend cheats on me behind my back, I would be so disgusted I could die, I’d want to treat him like trash and throw him away."

Jiang Lingxi couldn’t help but remind her as she spoke through gritted teeth, "You don’t even have a boyfriend yet."

"Hmm, that’s true!" Wei Minmin relaxed her expression and coughed lightly, "Actually, I was thinking of maybe pursuing that Mr. Chong, after all, he has the looks and the build, I could eat an extra bowl of rice just looking at him every day. But now, I think I can’t handle this type of demanding young master, so forget it."

Pei Xinyuan: "..." She couldn’t hold back, "Minmin, you really dare to think big!"

"There’s no law against thinking."

Jiang Lingxi could only tap the armrest of the chair, "Off-topic, guys."

The two stopped, quickly placing their hands on their knees like obedient students.

"What about you, Xinyuan?"

"If I had a boyfriend, I’d probably be like Sister Minmin. Cheating is truly disgusting. If I found out, I might not be able to tolerate it for a minute."

Jiang Lingxi nodded thoughtfully, "Alright, that’s the end of the Q&A."

She might have figured out why Yun Yi got hurt.

If it were truly as she suspected, then this kid is really unlucky.

Qian Yisheng pushed open the hospital room door while holding his daughter, and was startled by the scene inside.

He turned and quickly handed his daughter to the nanny who had followed along, then rushed over, reaching out to grab the fruit knife in Zhang Lingxuan’s hand.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Yisheng," Zhang Lingxuan pointed the tip of the fruit knife at her wrist artery, "Grandpa doesn’t want me anymore, I can’t think of any other way, can you help me meet Grandpa and have him come over?"

Qian Yisheng stared intently at the fruit knife in her hand, making a fist ready to snatch the knife at any moment, "You forgot, today is An’an’s first day of school, your grandpa must be sending An’an for enrollment."

"An’an, again with An’an." Zhang Lingxuan’s head throbbed at the mere mention of that name, furiously shaking her head as if to expel the name, "If only she wasn’t here. As soon as she came, she took everything away from me!"

Qian Yisheng didn’t dare to provoke her any further upon seeing the blood trace under the knife, so he nodded reluctantly, "Alright, alright, I’ll go, just put the fruit knife down first."

Zhang Lingxuan, seeing her objective achieved, loosened her grip.

Qian Yisheng quickly snatched the knife back, put it in his pocket, and felt completely exhausted.

He turned to instruct the nanny, "Take Nannan out to play for a while."

He had initially intended to bring his daughter to accompany her mother and comfort his wife’s emotions.

Now it seemed that not scaring the daughter would be the best outcome.

Qian Yisheng did leave accordingly but didn’t really go to find the elderly man. Instead, he brought back a doctor and a nurse.

With the patient’s consent, a sedative could be administered to stabilize emotions if the patient had self-harming tendencies.

By the time Zhang Lingxuan noticed something was wrong, she was already restrained and injected with a shot.

Before slipping into unconsciousness, she glared at her husband with hatred in her eyes.

"You lied to me!"

Qian Yisheng closed his eyes expressionlessly.

These days, he had asked countless times what exactly happened at that club at the time, but in this matter, his wife’s lips were tighter than a clam shell.

He even went to find the owner of that club to inquire, but the other party was vague and evasive with him, not even having surveillance footage from that night.

Amidst all the confusion, while taking care of his emotionally unstable wife and not wanting to rely on the nanny alone for childcare, Qian Yisheng, after much consideration, could only request another day off.

Fortunately, his boss was considerate, patting him on the shoulder and approving the leave readily.

Sitting on the long bench set on the lawn in front of the inpatient department, Qian Yisheng held his phone and dazed for quite a while before resolutely dialing his sister’s number.

"Yiheng, can you give me Jiang Lingxi’s contact information?"

"This is how you use the video function, right? Got it, got it, finally learned it. An’an, don’t worry, Grandma will definitely take beautiful videos of you, and then send them to your Sister Xixi."

Gao Lan clicked save on the video she just recorded on her phone and heard a rhythmic knock on the door, "Who is it?"

"Grandma, it’s me."

"Little Lei, when did you become so polite? An’an, go open the door for him."

Xu Ling’an responded and got up to walk to the door.

Outside, Xu Lei stood awkwardly behind Elderly Zhang, hesitating, but decided not to mention it wasn’t him who had knocked.

During this hesitation, the door in front of him opened.

Xu Ling’an looked at the grandfather standing outside, dressed in a gray pinstripe suit with a tie and hat, and his gaze moved to the cane in his hand. He pressed his lips together and stepped aside, "Please come in."

"Ah," Zhang Nachuan responded, a broad smile replacing his initial nervousness, "An’an, there’s no need to be so polite with Grandpa." With that, he stepped into the house.

Xu Lei followed, quickly explaining when Xu Ling’an gave him a glaring look, "I just came over from the back, and saw this old man already standing at the door."

"Sister Gao."

Gao Lan stood up, "Mr. Zhang, please sit down. An’an said you were busy, didn’t expect you to make time and come over, we were just about to head out."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Nachuan realized that An’an hadn’t told her grandmother about what happened that night.

Well, after all, the elderly can’t handle stress well.

So he swallowed back his apologies, "Sending An’an to school to enroll is such an important event, I can only attend it once in my lifetime, I had to make time no matter how busy I am."

Gao Lan poured him a cup of water, "Have some water first, and then we’ll set off."

Xu Lei didn’t dare to sit down, "An’an, where’s your luggage? I’ll put it in the car for you."

Zhang Nachuan put down his cup, nodding, "Yes, yes, I specifically asked Zhang Ye to get a car with enough space today so everything can go in the trunk, no need for a cab."

Having said that, he looked somewhat anxiously at Xu Ling’an, "Also, in that small apartment, Grandpa took the liberty to add some things, An’an can have a look when there’s time to see if it’s arranged alright."

Xu Ling’an looked at his grandfather, who had taken off his hat, revealing a lot more white hair than a few days ago, and gently nodded in response.
