21 I'm Not That Weak

Dirtied the courtyard...

After Jiang Jinshang finished speaking, even the autumn night wind seemed to have become colder. No one was stupid. He was secretly mocking Tang Mo..

If I beat you up, you won't be able to do anything about it.

Tang Wan had seen his ability to humiliate someone before. At that time, he was said to have a cold heart, but now..

He was just ruthless.

The bodyguards punches were heavy. With Zhang Liyun's support, Tang Mo hunched her back. Her nose was bruised and her face was swollen. The corners of her mouth and eyes were stained with blood.

"Send her to the hospital. I'll pay for the medical fees." Jiang Jinshang rubbed his fingers. His gaze was indifferent.

Tang Wan pursed her lips from the beginning to the end and did not say anything. All she knew was the ruthlessness of Fifth Master Jiang.

After the beating and trampling, he sent her to the hospital. It was obvious that he was chasing her away.

"I reckon it's not a big deal. There's no need for any medical fees. I'll change my clothes later and bring her around. She should be fine after applying some medicine." Zhang Liyun was cooking just now and was still wearing an apron.

Jiang Jinshang had already said so much earlier. How could they have the nerve to ask for medical fees?!

"Ms. Tang Mo, you really have to be careful with your words and actions in the future to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings."

From the beginning to the end, he did not even say a word of apology. He had already used his actions to tell Tang Mo that everything that happened today was of her own fault.

Tang Mo moaned loudly as if she was seriously injured. Zhang Liyun did not even bother to eat and brought her straight to the hospital.

***

After Zhang Liyun and her daughter left, the atmosphere was much better.

Old Master Tang sat at the head of the table while Jiang Jinshang sat to his left. Tang Wan brought out a dish of green conch shrimp from the kitchen.

"How do you prepare this dish?" Old Master Tang was recently given orders not to consume any seafood in conjunction with the new medicine he began.

"Just don't eat it." Tang Wan brought the shrimp directly to Jiang Jinshang. She remembered the last time when they ate, she had ordered this dish, and he had eaten quite a lot.

"Thank you." Jiang Jinshang's heart was slightly moved.

He clearly remembered which dishes the two of them had ordered for their first meal, and she..

...remembered his preferences.

Old Master Tang's eyes darted back and forth between them, and he was grinning from ear to ear.

"Madam Chen, today is a happy day. Bring over the plum wine that was brewed last year. Jinshang and I will have some." Old Master Tang spoke loudly.

Zhang Liyun left halfway through cooking, and Tang Wan took over. There was still the last dish to be served on a plate. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that her grandfather had already taken out some wine glasses and placed one in front of him and one in front of Jiang Jinshang.

"Grandfather, you can't drink too much wine." Madam Chen had already taken out the wine.

The body of the indigo bottle was painted with a white plum. When she unscrewed the bottle cap, the room was filled with the sweet and sour plum fragrance.

"It's okay. I'm happy today." The old man smiled. Just as he was about to take the wine bottle, Jiang Jinshang stood up. "Grandfather Tang, let me do it."

The bodyguards stood at the side and cursed in their hearts:

Yesterday, he was still Old Master Tang, but today, he was already Grandpa Tang..

 How fast it had changed.

"It's fine. Just make yourself at home. There's no need to be so courteous." The old man didn't care. Jiang Jinshang was polite, and that gave the old man a good impression of him.

However, as soon as he took the wine bottle, he was intercepted by a hand that stretched out from the side.

"Two sick people, what are you drinking? Now that you're feeling better, do you think you can trash your bodies again?" Tang Wan frowned and looked displeased.

Jiang Jinshang only looked at her. With a burning gaze, she pretended to be fierce. Surprisingly..

She looked a little cute.

"Just one or two glasses. It's Jinshang's first day here and he's enjoying himself. The doctor didn't tell me to abstain from alcohol," Old Master Tang snorted. "Jinshang, you can't drink either?"

"If it's just a little, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Look, he can drink too. Let's just drhave a small glass. I don't mind if you control my dietary intake but why do you have to pull Jinshang in?" Old Master Tang sneered. "You're not his wife, so why do you care so much?"

"Grandpa!" Tang Wan knew what he was thinking. If he said it in private, then it's fine.. How could he spout such nonsense in front of Jiang Jinshang? She was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"One glass, right? Then I'll pour you guys some wine. Which I'll then put away immediately."

"You little girl..." Old Master Tang was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Tang Wan poured a small glass for her grandfather before pouring one for Jiang Jinshang.

The small wine glass was the size of two thumbs. It needed to be poured very carefully. If one was not careful, the wine would spill out.

"Thank you for your concern just now." Jiang Jinshang was sitting in his seat. He tilted his head slightly and could clearly see the side of her face.

Because she was cooking, her long hair was tied up, revealing a part of her neck. It was fair and slender. Perhaps the kitchen was filled with smoke and heat, her ears were pink and tender.

It was known that there were plenty of beautiful ladies in the south. Tang Wan would definitely be considered among them.

Even if it was knockout beauty, a second glance..

Could still captivate people's hearts.

At this moment, the distance was so close that it was a little unbelievable.

The moment he opened his mouth, Tang Wan felt his breath blow over. The hair on her temples seemed to be fluttering slightly as it rubbed against her face.

It tickled her heart a little.

"You're welcome," Tang Wan said in a low voice.

"Actually..." he seemed to be getting closer.

"My body isn't as bad as you think."

He lowered his voice to the lowest level, but it was still gentle and clear. It was inexplicably a little ambiguous.

Your body isn't that bad. What does it have to do with me? Then quickly get well and return to your own home.

Tang Wan's hand trembled slightly and the wine spilled out. She withdrew her hand, straightened her body, corked the wine, and left calmly.

Old Master Tang picked up the wine glass and placed it at the tip of his nose to sniff. It was as if he was sniffing the fragrance of the wine, but his peripheral vision kept falling on the youngsters next to him. The more he looked at them, the more suitable they seemed to be for each other.

But until Tang Wan returned to her seat, her heart still palpitated and she couldn't feel at ease.

She raised her hand to tidy up the messy hair beside her ear. She kept feeling that his voice just now echoing in her ears. They were sitting directly opposite each other, and their gazes inevitably met. Perhaps it was because they had drunk some wine, but she inexplicably felt that this person..

...was radiating heat all over.

***

Jiang Jinshang didn't talk much. Elder Tang was the talkative one, so he just listened quietly. In the end, the food was already cold, so Tang Wan had to reheat the dishes.

After the meal, Jiang Jinshang accompanied the old man for a chat while Tang Wan helped Madam Chen clean up the table.

"Miss, the dishes you cooked are quite suitable for Fifth Master Jiang's appetite," Madam Chen said with a smile.

Tang Wan glanced at the table. The only dish that had been finished was the green conch shrimp.

It was always great to have ones cooking cleaned up. She smiled and lowered her head to pack her things, not saying a word.

At this time, Jiang Jinshang's situation in the Tang family was also reported back to the Jiang family.

Their family was also having dinner at this time. At the dining table, they were still discussing about someone who was difficult to serve and picky with his food. However, they found out that everything had gone very smoothly.

They even drank a little wine while eating shrimp.

Mrs. Jiang let out a long sigh of relief. She was afraid that her second son would look for her to throw a tantrum and blame her for taking matters into her own hands. From the looks of it now, she seemed to be having a good time.

Could it be that he couldn't throw a tantrum in someone else's house?

After all, no matter how bad his temper was, he still had a reputation to keep.

She tilted her head and looked at her eldest son. "Don't stare at your son while he's eating. I'm asking you a question. What do you think is going on with Jinshang this time..."

"There must be something fishy going on. He's acting weird..." his voice paused.

"There must be something fishy going on."

The little guy was holding his chopsticks and hiding the carrot strips under the rice. With an innocent look on his face, he tried to divert his father's attention. "I miss uncle. When will he come back?"

"Are you going to dig a hole and bury the carrot?"

"Don't leave the table until you finish eating the vegetables."
