Chapter 57: 057 Stepping on the love rival? Wuye and Qi Duidui, one foot each
Tang Wan didn’t know what Qi Zeyan had read to the old man, yet she still smiled and thanked him.
“Your special visit is already much appreciated; bringing so many things and even reading the news to Grandpa, thank you.”
“It’s what I should do.”
“Isn’t Aunt Liyun here?” Tang Wan looked around the sickroom.
“She went out to get some hot water.”
Qi Zeyan originally wanted to brag about his great achievements just now, but then he felt it was somewhat shameful to speak up.
Soon, Zhang Liyun and Tang Mo returned; seeing that Tang Wan had arrived, they exchanged looks, and the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
“Aunt Liyun, why don’t you and Tang Mo go back first, it’ll be fine if I stay here.”
“I’ll stay; I can look after you.” Zhang Liyun said breezily as if nothing had happened.
*
By this time, it was lunchtime. Qi Zeyan and Tang Wan were just in a typical collaborative relationship. Tang Wan glanced at her wristwatch and was about to ask him to go have lunch when someone knocked on the door.
Tang Mo was closest to the door, she didn’t ask questions, and just opened it—it was actually He Shao.
Carrying a meal box, he clearly came to deliver lunch.
When their gazes met, the atmosphere was subtly charged.
“He Shao, how come you’re here, come on in.” Zhang Liyun’s enthusiasm was unusually warm.
“You probably haven’t eaten yet, I brought you something to eat.”
“That’s very kind of you.”
“It’s just a small gesture.”
“Wanwan, He Shao helped us get in touch with the best specialists in Beijing; the old man will certainly be fine, don’t worry.” Zhang Liyun said with a smile, her attitude towards He Shao was so warm it was abnormal.
It even made people think she was trying to set up Tang Wan with He Shao.
Tang Wan pursed her lips and kept quiet.
Jiang Jinsang didn’t even give him a glance, but Qi Zeyan was seriously sizing him up: So it’s him?
He had just been wondering who this person was, and now here he was.
“He Shao, don’t stand there…” Zhang Liyun wanted to invite him to sit down, but the seating in the sickroom was limited and already taken by Jiang Jinsang and Qi Zeyan.
He Shao looked at the fox-eyed man and the one in sunglasses standing aside; he wanted to ease the relationship with Tang Wan, these were obstacles he couldn’t bypass, and obviously, he had done his homework on Jiang Jinsang, so he braced himself and approached.
“Lord Jiang, hello, I’m He An, we’ve met here today already.” He said with a smile, reaching out his hand.
He couldn’t afford to offend this man, so no matter how awkward, he had to keep a smile plastered on his face.
Jiang Jinsang smiled faintly, “Actually, we’ve met before today.”
“Really? When?”
He Shao used to have a lot of fun in Pingjiang; not just the people in the circles, but even ordinary folks knew his name. It wasn’t strange for them to recognize or have seen him.
“A few days ago, in front of the entrance of Fuyou Bar.”
“…”
That was when he was being put into a police car; He Shao’s face instantly turned ashen, his lips tightened, unable to utter half a word.
The people from the Jiang Family stood on the side, unable to hold back their snickers.
They had thought there would be some exciting confrontation, but it hadn’t even started, and it was over? This guy was too weak.
This person’s wounds had not yet fully healed, and he was sharply jabbed again, and it was their Lord Jiang who was ruthless.
He An’s hand hung in mid-air, as Jiang Jinsang had no intention of shaking hands with him, and all he could do was retract his hand in chagrin.
It was then Qi Zeyan suddenly spoke up, “Mr. He, I heard you helped Mr. Tang find the best specialists in Beijing?”
With Qi Zeyan’s interjection, it seemed like he was helping him out of an awkward situation.
He An naturally smiled broadly, eager to show off in front of Tang Wan, yet too embarrassed to smile too widely, “Actually, it’s no big deal, just a small favor, really.”
“Excuse me, which hospital and which doctor are you looking for?”
“Uh?” He An was startled. He was only responsible for finding someone; he wasn’t actually clear on who the specific doctor was.
“All the good doctors and experts in Beijing can’t avoid the Jiang Family. I was just talking with Jinsang about how he had brought in his own familiar expert. That’s the real authority in the field. Before that, the expert hadn’t mentioned being entrusted to come to Beijing. I’m curious…” Qi Zeyan chuckled lightly.
“Which of Beijing’s best experts are you actually referring to?”
It was well-known that Jiang Jinsang’s health was poor, so the doctors he knew were naturally the best.
And indeed, He An had found a doctor; all that talk about the ‘best’ was just to sound good.
He never expected Qi Zeyan to make such a big fuss about it.
Jiang Jinsang laughed softly, “Seeing a doctor is no small matter. It’s better to be cautious when contacting experts, to avoid delaying the condition.”
“Exactly, and besides, seeing a doctor isn’t a show. Does it need to be known by everyone?” Qi Zeyan agreed.
“If Mr. Tang is like this, with rumors already spreading outside, if you really care about the Tang Family, you should know when it’s best to keep a low profile.”
“Making such a grand gesture, you’re giving a life-saving grace. Could it be that you expect Miss Tang to be so grateful to you that she would offer herself in return?”
…
After Qi Zeyan finished speaking, the entire hospital room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Because that was indeed He An’s intention, being called out on the spot left him with a face as pale as a sheet, extremely embarrassed.
“No, I had some conflicts with Miss Tang before; I made some mistakes and just wanted to make it up to her,” He An gritted his teeth, only able to come up with such an excuse.
“I thought you had ulterior motives…” Qi Zeyan, who was always adaptable, added, “Then, I was being too cynical.”
“No, how could that be.”
At this moment, He An truly felt like smiling on the outside, cursing in his heart.
After all his efforts, Qi Zeyan had exposed him in just a few words, ruining his chance to get close to Tang Wan.
Tang Wan had been silent all along and only now spoke up, “Still, thank you, Mr. He, for your kind intentions.”

“It’s nothing.” He An, looking at Qi Zeyan, felt both stifled and furious.
“President Qi, it’s already noon. Should I arrange someone to order lunch for you?” If Mr. Tang hadn’t had an accident, she would have been accompanying him today.
“No need, Jinsang and I will just go out and grab something casual to eat.”
Jiang Jinsang had been sitting at one side and upon hearing this, he raised an eyebrow slightly, “I’ve already eaten.”
“Then you definitely haven’t eaten enough.”
“…”
As Qi Zeyan and Jiang Jinsang were leaving, they cast another glance at He An, “Mr. He, there’s nothing left for you here, let’s go together.”
He An: I damn well don’t want to leave!
But he had no way to refuse Qi Zeyan and had to follow him, head held high.
The group walked out of the hospital room; Qi Zeyan was asking Jiang Jinsang what he wanted for lunch, treating him as if he were invisible.
Finally, when the elevator came, as Jiang Jinsang and others got on, He An was about to enter when Jiang Jiu blocked his path, “Sorry, Mr. He, there’s no more space.”
He An: Are you freaking kidding me? There’s clearly space inside.
He had been beaten up by Jiang Jiu, and seeing him still made his wounds ache faintly. He had to grit his teeth and endure it, smiling as he waved them goodbye.
Once the elevator doors closed, Qi Zeyan clicked his tongue: “Such trash, and he thinks he’s a rival worthy of me?”
“You cooperated quite well just now.”
“Wait till I win over your sister-in-law; I won’t forget your red envelope.”
Jiang Jinsang only replied, “It’s what I should do.”
Qi Zeyan didn’t understand the meaning of these words at the time, thinking it was out of friendship, feeling that he was very loyal. It was only later that he realized he was the one being helped!
Thinking about how hard he had worked before, he nearly had a heart attack out of frustration!
