Jiang Zongjin and Qiao Nian were still on their way to the nursing home.
At this moment, in the nursing home, Old Master Jiang hung up the phone, changed his relaxed and happy tone, turned his head, and asked with a serious face, “Where is Xianrou? Is she still not answering you?”
“She’s not answering my calls and just hangs up on me.” Jiang Li was standing beside Old Master Jiang’s bedside worriedly.
Putting his hand on his forehead, he was having a splitting headache. “Grandpa, what should I do now?”
Old Master Jiang’s eyes darkened slightly. He raised his hand holding the mobile phone, silently found Jiang Xianrou’s phone number from the address book, and called her in person.
“Beep…”
The first time Jiang Xianrou didn’t answer, but she didn’t hang up as she did with Jiang Li.
Old Master Jiang continued to make a second call.
“Beep…”
After a long beep, he finally got through.
“Hello?”
Seeing that the phone was connected, Old Master Jiang sat up straight involuntarily and spoke to her impatiently, “Xianrou, where are you?”
“I’m still at school, I have something to do.”
Old Master Jiang closed his eyes and asked again, “Do you know that the performance at the school celebration is being discussed on the Internet? I hope you…”
He had yet to finish speaking…
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Xianrou seemed to sense his intentions and immediately said coldly, “Grandpa, I’m busy here. The tutor is calling me, I can’t talk to you right now. I’ll get back to you later when I’m done.”
“Don’t hang up, I…”
Jiang Xianrou didn’t give him a chance to finish speaking. “Grandpa, that’s all. I’m hanging up. Bye.”
Old Master Jiang only heard the busy tone from the mobile phone. His cloudy eyes looked at the mobile phone in his hands. Jiang Xianrou had already hung up the call.
“She didn’t answer?” Jiang Li watched the whole process of Old Master Jiang calling Jiang Xianrou. He was so angry that he held his forehead and ran wild in the ward. “What the hell is she trying to do!”
Nian Nian was Zhui Guang. Did she think that the school celebration was not embarrassing enough? It would only be her who would be ashamed if the situation went on.
Besides, everyone was a family, was it necessary to do this?
She didn’t think about it before doing things. If the uncle found out, what would he think of their family?
Old Master Jiang was absent-minded for a long time. He did not speak, but his eyes were very tired. He had already reached the age of knowing his own destiny. At this age, he couldn’t talk about any ideals or aspirations. His biggest dream was to see the family in harmony and unity.
But look now, since he found Nian Nian, what the family had become.
He wasn’t dead yet!
Nian Nian didn’t even live in the Jiang family’s old house, and all the ghosts, snakes, and gods in the family came out.
Old Master Jiang had been proficient in tactics and was wise and amiable all his life. In this situation, apart from being angry, he had only a deep sense of powerlessness.
Just at this time, Tang Wanru instructed the nurse to come in with fresh flowers.
She was wearing a wrapping cheongsam and a beige shawl today. She looked elegant, extravagant, and approachable.
“You came at the right time.” Old Master Jiang waved at her and asked her to approach him upon seeing her come in.
Tang Wanru instructed the nurse to put the new flowers in the same place in the ward and then walked in Old Master Jiang’s direction.
Tang Wanru’s brows were gentle, and she looked knowledgeable and well-bred. “Dad, do you have something to say to me?”
Old Master Jiang didn’t like or dislike this second daughter-in-law of his. He nodded and told her about what happened, then sat up and said, “She refuses to pick up Jiang Li’s call. I called her just now, but she said she was busy. She can only listen if you tell her.”
