Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao Nian took the water from Jiang Zongjin with her uninjured hand and took a sip. Hearing this, she put it down and said calmly, “I’ve checked.”
“It wasn’t an accident?” Old Master Jiang’s expression darkened. He gripped the armrest of his wheelchair tightly, and his turbid eyes suddenly turned cold. He was unyielding. “Who did it?”
Qiao Nian didn’t say anything.
She put the mineral water aside and propped up her legs. They were long and straight, and her expression was quite playful. She only said, “… I’ll take care of this matter. You don’t have to worry about it.”
She did not say who did it. Instead, Old Master Jiang felt that this person might be related to his family. He felt a headache for a moment. His heart ached as he looked at the girl’s exquisite eyebrows.
Jiang Zongjin didn’t think too much about it. Qiao Nian’s accident had given him a fright. At this moment, he only had lingering fear and didn’t want to think about anything else. When he heard that Qiao Nian didn’t want to talk about it, he quickly comforted the old man. “Dad, it’s fine if Nian Nian doesn’t want to talk about it. Let’s not ask. She’s already so old. I believe she’ll handle it well.”
Old Master Jiang glanced at his silly eldest son. His temples twitched again. He pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
He didn’t say anything, but he was determined to check it out in private.
Old Master Jiang and Jiang Zongjin were talking, but a junior like Jiang Li was too embarrassed to interrupt. He waited patiently for them to finish speaking before going over to ask Qiao Nian about her injury. He also asked her to pay attention not to use her right hand for the time being and not to get it wet.
He rambled on quite for quite a bit.
Only Jiang Zongnan remained silent in the entire treatment room.
He was also the calmest or least concerned of the few of them.
After Jiang Li carefully reminded Qiao Nian of some things to take note of, he turned around and saw his father standing there alone.
He couldn’t help but call out, “Dad, aren’t you going to say something to Nian Nian?”
Jiang Zongnan seemed to have woken up from a dream. He pressed his temples and slowly walked over.
Qiao Nian’s expression was still the same as before. She seemed to treat him no differently from how she treated Old Master Jiang and the others.
However, Jiang Zongnan felt a little uncomfortable. He pursed his lips and asked after a long time, “Nian Nian, is your arm alright?”
Qiao Nian raised her hand, her voice rather hoarse. “My right wrist is fractured. I’ll need to recuperate for half a month. The rest is fine.”
She said it so easily that Jiang Zongnan frowned, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Qiao Nian saw that he wanted to talk to her a few times, but she didn’t take the initiative to ask him what he wanted to say.
After hesitating a few times, Jiang Zongnan made up his mind and said softly to the girl in front of him, “It’s good that you’re fine. Just now, Zhu Yuanhao’s father called me and said something. He wants me to beg you to let their family off.”
“Zhu Yuanhao’s father called you?” Jiang Li was stunned for a moment. He asked in confusion, “Dad, what do you mean? Why did Zhu Yuanhao’s father call you?”
Old Master Jiang raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Zongnan.
Jiang Li seemed to have thought of something and reacted in shock. He frowned and asked Jiang Zongnan, “Dad, do you mean that Nian Nian’s accident has something to do with their family?”
Jiang Zongnan was embarrassed by the question and did not know how to respond.
