Chapter 1390: Chapter 797: Third Brother’s Scheming Exposed? Jiang Xiaowai Is a Born Drama King (Part 2)
After wiping the seats, he took a spray, sprayed it twice in the car, and drove away after confirming there was no smell.
...
Jiang Shiyi sent Si Qingxiao back, and the Jiang Family was quietly grumbling in their hearts. Someone is occasionally quite caustic and sharp-tongued, likes to make jabs at Jiang Chengsi, and they’re worried he might scare people away!
"Won’t third brother really scare people away?" Tang Wan asked while coaxing her son to sleep.
Xiaowai today went to a full moon banquet, met many people. Usually, he’d be asleep by this time, but tonight he refused to sleep no matter what; it was already eleven, and his eyes were still wide open.
"No, third brother is desperate enough for someone to take over fourth brother, he’s bound to work hard to push him." Jiang Jinsang was opening a drawer to get Jiang Xiaowai’s health card, "Tomorrow I’m taking him for a vaccination, and I have lunch with Uncle Zhou."
"I remember." Tang Wan pursed her lips, eyeing Jiang Jinsang.
He now looked no different from ordinary people, but ever since Tang Wan got pregnant and went through postpartum, even Jiang Jinsang’s meals had improved significantly.
Huo Ran was about to become a ball...
How come his fifth brother just doesn’t gain weight?
Born with fair skin, he looked even more lean and slender.
"Fifth brother..."
"Hm?" Jiang Jinsang packed the things needed for the child’s vaccination and put the bottles and diapers needed for going out one by one.
"Tomorrow, you should also have a check-up; after the New Year’s, you haven’t gone for a physical exam."
Recently, Tang Wan had been absorbed in her son, completely forgetting about someone’s health issues.
"Alright." Jiang Jinsang didn’t refuse either; a physical exam is never bad, if there’s truly a health issue, early discovery leads to early treatment.

Elsewhere, at No. 9 Mansion
Geng Dong sat in a private room, arms around a woman’s slim waist, she seemed to have no bones, clinging to him, tracing and teasing with her fingers on his chest...
Ultimate allure.
The private room was crowded with men and women, singing and drinking, excessively decadent.
"Brother Dong, thanks again for helping me customize the necklace today, I’ve told you it’s quite pricey, I really don’t want you to spend so much on me..." The woman said, while feeling rather pleased inside.
Though she spoke and teased for half a day, the man hugging her didn’t react. She looked up to find him actually daydreaming, "Brother Dong? Brother Dong—"
"Hm?" Only then did Geng Dong snap back to reality, "What’s up?"
"I should be asking you, what’s going on with you? You didn’t see some pretty girl and got bewitched, did you."
"No." Geng Dong smiled and hugged her tighter, "You and Tang Wan were classmates and had a pretty good relationship, right."
"What’s up?" The woman smiled but instantly grew alert inside.
"When you have time, help me find out when Jiang Chengsi is coming back."
"Fourth master?"
She furrowed her brows; everyone in their circle knew that Geng Dong and Jiang Chengsi didn’t get along, he actually wanted to find out about Jiang Chengsi?
"Brother Dong... What are you planning by looking into fourth master?"
"Don’t ask about what shouldn’t be known." Geng Dong smiled, "Just help me find out."
The woman merely curled her lips into a smile, already contemplating inside.
...
Early the next morning, she went to Tang Wan’s studio, under the pretense of customizing something to see Tang Wan.
She had come several times before, customized many items, and considering she’s allegedly Tang Wan’s classmate, Chen Zhi was quite courteous to her, "Miss Yang, I’m truly sorry, Teacher Tang isn’t here today."
Since she wasn’t a close acquaintance, Chen Zhi referred to Tang Wan as Teacher.
"Not here?"
"Accompanying the child for vaccination, might come in the afternoon, if you have any matters, you can tell me, I’ll convey them to her for you."
"No need, I just passed by, came to check in, since she’s not here, I’ll head out first."
Which hospital Tang Wan’s child was going to wasn’t even needed to inquire; naturally, it would be the one where Zhou Zhongqing was.
She drove straight to the hospital...
At this moment, Tang Wan was taking the child for vaccination.
The little guy was in her arms, Jiang Jinsang and Zhou Zhongqing standing nearby, making the vaccine doctor a bit nervous, after all, the hospital’s most authoritative doctor was right there.
Tang Wan rolled up the child’s sleeve, the little one was pretty well-behaved today.
Typically, children would cry and fuss at the hospital, but Jiang Xiaowai didn’t, with nurses on the side using toys to entertain him, his attention was wholly captured.
Until the doctor gave him a shot, feeling the sting, he suddenly snapped back, staring at the doctor.
"Good boy, it’ll be over soon, it doesn’t hurt, right..." The doctor smiled and consoled, needle still in the skin, afraid he’d cry or twist his arm, and even Tang Wan and the others were on high alert.
The doctor swiftly injected the medicine, immediately removed the needle, and handed a cotton ball for Tang Wan to press against the injection site.
Jiang Xiaowai seemed to react belatedly, as soon as he left the doctor’s office, he twisted his body and burst into loud sobs—
"Wah—" That was a pitiful cry.
It seemed like he was using all his strength to tell everyone he was in pain.
"Didn’t the shot finish? It doesn’t hurt anymore..." Tang Wan was a bit helpless, this little one was quite the drama king.
Minutes had passed after the shot, then he decided to cry?
"Let me hold him." Zhou Zhongqing, rarely having leisure, said, "Come to grandpa, grandpa will get candy for you..."
The little Xiaowai still liked Zhou Zhongqing a lot, lying in his arms for a moment, and stopped crying.
Jiang Jinsang had to go for a check-up, Tang Wan followed Zhou Zhongqing back to the office to wait for him, along the way, whenever they encountered doctors or nurses, they’d greet them, praising the little guy for being cute.
Along the way, they picked up quite a few things like candies and toys, Tang Wan felt a bit embarrassed, a little guy just cried, eyes red, snot bubbles nearly forming, yet still giggling at others.
Everyone knew Zhou Zhongqing’s little grandson was here, many came around to join in, Tang Wan got squeezed outside.
"Godfather, I’ll go check on fifth brother, I’ll leave Mutang with you."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Zhou Zhongqing was usually very busy; being a doctor isn’t easy, last week he barely rested, at one point, he spent over 40 consecutive hours in surgeries, so it’s rare to have the time to be close to a little grandson.
Anyhow with having a little grandson, anything about Jiang Jinsang or a goddaughter, he didn’t care.
Previously on phone calls, he’d inquire about Jiang Jinsang’s health and any issues; now, apart from caring about little Xiaowai, he doesn’t even greet Jiang Jinsang.
Tang Wan teased him about this, "Don’t you care about fifth brother anymore?"
Zhou Zhongqing had a simple reason, "I’ve been worrying for him most of my life, haven’t I done enough? What more do you want from me?"
That seemed perfectly reasonable.
...
Tang Wan went to find Jiang Jinsang; the hospital was crowded, every examination room had long queues, especially the ones for ultrasound checks, just packed, unable to move.
Tang Wan didn’t see anyone here, phoned, maybe due to hospital phone silent mode, no one picked up.
Jiang Jinsang was undergoing a full physical, so there was a lot to check, at this hour it was unclear where he was, Tang Wan hadn’t planned to keep searching, she intended to buy some daily items from the hospital’s first-floor supermarket before heading back to Zhou Zhongqing’s office.
Seeing the tissue if gone on Zhou Zhongqing’s desk, she hadn’t replenished it yet.
Going to the hospital’s supermarket required passing by the registration area, unexpectedly running into an acquaintance.
Someone sat on a bench in the registration hall, face pale, hands pressed against the stomach, seemingly very uncomfortable; initially Tang Wan found her familiar, took a few steps and turned back for another look...
"Leader Lin?" Tang Wan’s voice rang out, the person pressing on her stomach looked up at her.
It truly was Lin Luyou.
