Jiang Wan lowered her eyes.
She smiled wryly at herself and said, “Big Brother, if you really want to think that way, I can’t do anything about it. Indeed, it’s just as you said. It’s too coincidental. If I were in your position, I might think the same way.”
“I can only blame myself. I can’t blame anyone else.”
She tilted her head and said, “Since that’s the case, you can leave. I’ll discharge myself from the hospital. I don’t need you to pick me up. I can’t go back to the Jiang family home anyway. I’ll go back to where I’m staying now. You don’t have to worry. I won’t disturb you and Big Sister.”
Jiang Chenglang clenched his fist and put it to his mouth, deep in thought.
He opened his mouth and spoke in this cold atmosphere.
“During the mole incident, I asked Xiao Yu if she did it and she said no. I believed her.”
“This time, I want to ask you.”
Jiang Chenglang called her in the now unfamiliar, long-lost address, “Wan Wan, did you do this?”
Jiang Wan raised her eyes.
She looked straight into Jiang Chenglang’s eyes but her heart skipped a beat.
A thought popped up in her mind like a bamboo shoot after a rain. It was telling her that if she lied again this time, she would lose all of Jiang Chenglang’s trust, and she might even be kicked out of the Jiang family for good.
However, if she admitted it, the consequences wouldn’t be much better.
Since she had done it, there was no need to be afraid. Besides, there was no way out now. It was better to go all the way.
Jiang Wan steeled her heart and said with certainty, “No, Big Brother. I didn’t do it.”
Thinking about it, this matter was originally so big but in the end, she still went down and was suppressed.
With the involvement of the Jian family, she presumed that she had done it flawlessly. Otherwise, Jiang Chenglang would have found out long ago and would not be talking to her here.
Jian Hanshen had promised her that he would not sell her out just like that. He would not go back on his word.
Then, what was she afraid of?
Jiang Chenglang twisted his fingers.
Then, he stood up.
“Since you didn’t do it, I will go and handle your discharge papers, and then…”
He paused and said calmly, “We’ll go back and pack up. I will take you back to the Jiang family home.”
Jiang Wan was stunned. She didn’t expect Jiang Chenglang to agree so readily.
“Big Brother… is this true?”
Jiang Chenglang nodded. “Of course it’s true.”
Jiang Wan was ecstatic.
Jiang Chenglang had already walked out of the ward.
When he walked out of the ward, he looked back and took out his phone to make a call.
Jiang Chenglang, who had always maintained a straight face in front of his company’s subordinates, was surprisingly soft-spoken when he made the call.
He sounded like a child who had made a mistake. His words were filled with fawning, begging for forgiveness, and a little guilty.
After he hung up the call, Jiang Chenglang let out a long breath.
The dark shadow between his brows had dissipated a little. Jiang Chenglang pinched the space between his brows. There was an indescribable frustration in his heart.
The position that he had always held in his heart could not be used by others.
What if it was really Jiang Wan though?
Could it really be Jiang Wan?
…
Jiang Yu hung up the call.
The others had looked at her when she picked up the call. Her expression turned cold and she did not seem to be in high spirits.
Jiang Zeyu asked curiously, “Little Sister, who called?”
Jiang Yu: “Jiang Chenglang.”
“Big Donkey Jiang?”
Hearing the name of another person who wanted to snatch his little sister, Jiang Zeyu was very alert. “Why is he looking for you?”
“It’s nothing. It’s just a small matter.”
Jiang Yu picked up her chopsticks. “Let’s eat.”
