Sister Xia paused for a moment.
She started to stutter a little.
"Master, perhaps... perhaps the young master left in a hurry and didn't want you to worry. Maybe... he'll let you know he's safe once he gets to M country."
Jiang Chi didn't quite agree with Sister Xia's explanation; he still felt something was off.
These servants have been with him for many years, and he knows them well enough to tell if they are lying.
"I'll go back to Bamboo Garden in a bit."
Without even thinking, Sister Xia said, "Master, don't rush back. Rest and recover in the hospital first. The young master and the young cousin are very worried about you."
Listen to this, something's not right!
They must be lying!
"A-Tuo didn't go abroad at all, did he? Something happened, right? He won't let me go back to Zhuyuan, he must be hiding something from me."
The old man was shrewd, and Sister Xia didn't know how to continue the conversation; she couldn't lie.
"Master, the young master is doing this for your own good. Don't think too much about it, just focus on getting better."
"How is Atuo? I need to know."
With the master so insistent, Sister Xia didn't know what to do.
If the master and Butler Du suddenly return, it won't be able to be kept secret.
The young master's door hasn't been replaced yet, and the window glass won't be replaced until this afternoon.
With a sigh, Sister Xia said, "Master, young master attempted suicide. He was rushed to the hospital last night. He said he was saved, but he hasn't woken up yet."
What a terrible thing!
Jiang Chi's expression was very serious, his brows furrowed tightly.
His heart ached.
It's alright, he can handle it.
"I understand, you don't need to inform Ah Zhi."
"Master, don't worry, the young master will be fine. He will wake up. We're already taking care of him and have found the best doctor for him."
"Okay, I'm hanging up."
...
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chi casually called Nangong Jin.
"Which ward is Atuo in? I want to go see him."
"Grandpa Jiang, please don't get agitated. Ah Zhi has already taken care of things, and everyone has stopped arguing. Ah Tuo will wake up later."
“I need to know about his situation. Tell me everything. It’s okay, I’m not upset. I feel sorry for him. The one who tied the knot must untie it.”
After thinking about it, Nangong Jin spoke, and Jiang Chi listened attentively.
Jiang Chi's emotions were also somewhat complicated.
...
Jiang Chi sat in his wheelchair and asked Du Bin to push him to see Jiang Tuo.
Jiang Chi: "I also have my faults. The grudges of the previous generation should be resolved as soon as possible. I don't want them to be fighting and arguing after I'm gone. That won't do."
Du Bin: "Sir, please speak calmly and don't get angry. At this point, everyone should have calmed down and be able to listen."
Jiang Chi: "If A-Tuo's suicide can't bring them to their senses, then all his efforts have been in vain. It's too much to ask A-Tuo to bear the burden; I should do something for him."
Du Bin: "Everything will be alright!"
"I hope so," Jiang Chi nodded.
...
More than three years later, Wei Yuan met Jiang Chi for the first time.
She looked at him without saying a word.
If it were before, she would definitely have responded with harsh words and would have been determined to infuriate him to death.
Although she didn't like this old man, he was someone Atuo was desperately trying to protect, so for Atuo's sake, she restrained herself.
Jiang Chi's voice was much calmer, and he wasn't as serious anymore. "Come in, I have something to say. You all know what happened back then. We all have the same goal, none of us want to hurt A-Tuo, and we all hope he's doing well. So, it's not that we can't sit down and talk calmly."
Wei Yuan remained silent, but she nodded slightly, indicating her willingness to talk.
...
Suddenly, the door opened, and Jiang Yan heard footsteps.
Looking up, she saw her father and Wei Yuan.
For over twenty years, the father and daughter have never been at odds with each other when they meet.
Jiang Chi: "How is A-Tuo?"
Jiang Yan still had dried tear tracks on her face, and she was still holding her son's hand. "He hasn't woken up yet."
Jiang Chi had many feelings, some of which were hard to put into words. "If you can figure things out and see things clearly in time, there are still many possibilities. A-Tuo shouldn't blame you. I was also wrong; I didn't handle things well back then. From beginning to end, I was doing it for your own good, not wanting you to be hurt."
Wei Yuan interjected, "You drove my father to his death, don't you feel any guilt at all? So many years have passed, don't you wake up in fear at night?"
Before Jiang Chi could respond, Jiang Yan glared at Wei Yuan and said, "My son's hospital room isn't for you to argue. Hasn't A-Tuo's suicide attempt brought you to your senses?"
For A-Tuo's sake, Wei Yuan tolerated it.
She still glared at Jiang Chi with annoyance.
Du Bin was about to mention Wei Yuan when Jiang Chi gave him a look.
At that moment, Du Bin swallowed back what he wanted to say.
Jiang Chi: "I'll play you a recording. I didn't drive Song Zhongqian to his death. He was very extreme."
...
Jiang Chi has saved the recording from that year on his phone.
Play it for them immediately.
Before Song Zhongqian could even speak, Jiang Yan clenched her fist tightly.
She was angry, sad, and annoyed at how stupid she had been.
Jiang Yan also shed tears; she could hardly bear to listen anymore.
He admitted it; everything he did was for his first love.
Because that woman had a heart condition, which worsened after she risked her life to give birth to Wei Yuan.
He asked her for money again and again, only to find out it was all for that woman's medical treatment.
Song Zhongqian is such a jerk!
Hearing this, Wei Yuan felt a mix of emotions.
She never imagined her father was this kind of person; even she thought he was a scumbag, unworthy of being human...
[Yes, I only wanted money. I never loved Jiang Yan. It was your daughter who was stupid enough to offer herself up. I knew I couldn't escape. The woman I loved most was dead. I had no intention of living; it was meaningless. After I die, I want you father and daughter to kill each other. I hate you!]
[Song Zhongqian, you've acted so despicably, wronged so many people, what right do you have to hate others? No one has wronged you, you're just too arrogant! You don't even want your son and daughter, you don't even want to live anymore, you're despicable and shameless!]
The cold laugh from Song Zhongqian was chilling.
[Your daughter is easy to coax. She's agreed to raise Wei Yuan, so you'll be watching her every day, causing you endless trouble and driving you crazy. I will leave your daughter; I never wanted to be with her. You and your daughter are disgusting!]
I will expose your ugly face to the world, and I will not allow your daughter to be raised in the Jiang family.
【You're wrong. As long as Jiang Yan loves me, she'll raise them and hate you. I'm not worried about my son; he's your grandson too, you won't abandon him. They're the Jiang family's time bombs, boom... I can imagine how terrible things will be for you all.】
[Dad... Zhongqian...]
It was Jiang Yan's voice. She had arrived, and what followed was her witnessing Song Zhongqian jump off the building.
He said that his father forced him to jump off the building, and only after he died would his father allow A-Tuo to return to the Jiang family.
