In the end, Jiang Chenglang decided to pay a visit to Jiang Wan anyways.
When he arrived, the servant who opened the door was surprised to see him. He had to ask a few times before the servant stammered that Miss Jiang Wan was resting in her bedroom.
Jiang Chenglang asked casually, “Is she sleeping?”
If she was asleep, it wouldn’t be a good time for a visit. He would leave after taking a quick look at her.
That was what Jiang Chenglang had thought. However, as he approached the room, he heard voices coming from inside.
It was an unfamiliar female voice. “How can your big brother treat you this way? You’re so sick and your big brother doesn’t come to see you. Has he been that busy with work recently?”
“I’ve heard that the Jiang Corporation has won another big project recently, but no matter how important the work is, is it more important than your loved ones? After all, you’re his biological sister! Even if he can’t come to visit, he should at least give you a call to show his concern, right?
“Come on, he chased you out of the Jiang family home and left you here all alone. He and Jiang Yu are living happily together. I was wondering why you took such a long leave of absence. Turns out that you were chased out of your own home… Why didn’t you tell me? If you had told me earlier, I would have come to see you a long time ago. There was no need for you to hold it in.”
Then, someone coughed a few times. Jiang Wan said in a hoarse voice, “You know that I care about my reputation too much. I’m so down and out, why would I call you to see me? It’s so embarrassing.”
“Between close friends, what’s there to be embarrassed about?” Ni Manman disagreed. “Don’t try to stop me. Give me your phone. I’ll call your big brother right now and ask him to come and see you.”
“No, no, no!” Jiang Wan quickly stopped her. “I just have a fever. It’s not a serious illness. I’ll be fine soon. There’s no need to trouble anyone with such a small matter.”
“He’s not just anyone, he’s your big brother. Wan Wan, why are you acting so scared?”
The more Ni Manman spoke, the angrier she got, “You’re always like this. You always think of others and don’t think of yourself. It’s just a short trip. It won’t take much time. How pitiful is it for you to be sick here alone? If my parents dared to treat me like this, I would definitely disown them! Only you would try to speak up for your big brother!”
“I just…” Jiang Wan suddenly exclaimed, “Big Brother! Why are you here?!”
The door to the room had not been closed properly and Jiang Chenglang suddenly walked into the room.
He glanced at Ni Manman then his gaze fell on Jiang Wan. He saw that her face was pale and she had lost a lot of weight. She indeed looked very sick.
Jiang Chenglang frowned. “Wan Wan, how are you feeling? The doctor has been to see you, right? What did he say?”
Jiang Wan coughed twice and then whispered as if she was suppressing another cough, “The doctor said that I’ll be fine after a good rest. It’s not a problem. Big Brother, why are you here?”
She glanced at her friend and Ni Manman clarified, “I didn’t make the call. You haven’t even given me your cell phone. I don’t have your Big Brother’s phone number, and I’ve just got here. I have not left your room, so there’s no way I could have told him.”
Jiang Wan said unhappily, “Then I know who it is. I already told her not to, I didn’t expect…”
She sighed and said, “Big Brother, I didn’t mean to disturb you. I didn’t control the servants well. After you leave, I will talk to them again. If you are busy, perhaps you should head off first? Really, I’m okay.”
Jiang Wan squeezed out a smile, but her small face was sunken and pale, which made her look weak and feeble.
