"I just called that brat and told her she'll be over in a bit! That brat, she really goes all out!"
The old man was just saying it casually. Does the Jian family have any shame? This girl's fighting skills were taught by that guy. If she goes easy on him, he'll look down on her!
Long Tingwei, however, was unwilling to let the old man speak of Jian Mujin in that way, and retorted, "The pain I caused her back then was far greater than what I suffered. She did nothing wrong!"
"Yes! That's right! She can't do anything wrong! Get some rest, it'll take some time to recover from this concussion. Go back to work after you're discharged, try to distract yourself, and then find an opportunity to make your move on Dan'er!"
Long Tingwei remained silent.
A moment later, Jian Mujin came running in, and as soon as she entered, she asked in an exaggerated manner.
"Grandpa, I heard Long Tingwei got beaten up? Did they call the police? Did they catch the culprit? It's really serious! What exactly happened?"
The old man looked at his grandson, who was lying back on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, then glanced at the somewhat nervous Jian Mujin, and sighed deeply.
"We caught them. Those people wanted to rob Long Tingwei because they knew he was a big boss. They asked for too much money, and Long Tingwei got angry and was about to call for help when these people beat him up."
However, it wasn't just those few who were beaten up like that; they said it was a masked female warrior who did it! I've already sent people to collect footage from nearby security cameras; we're sure we can find this woman!
When Jian Mujin first heard the reason, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If she had found out the reason and helped Long Tingwei drive those people away, the money wouldn't have been wasted on those thieves.
Fortunately, they caught him, so Long Tingwei shouldn't have suffered much loss.
When she heard about the masked female warrior, Jian Mujin secretly grinned. But when the old man continued talking about collecting video footage, she was startled again.
"Grandpa, the person is wearing a mask, how can you tell who it is?"
"What's so difficult about that? Was she masked the whole time? She must have started masking herself halfway through. Just pull up all the nearby security footage, find women with similar builds, and then see who's wearing black stockings. That should basically lock down the killer!"
"Oh my god!" Jian Mujin was so frightened that she sat down on the ground, trembling all over. "Grandpa, you really found him? What are you going to do with the murderer?"
The old man couldn't hide the smile on his face. Was he scared now?
Long Tingwei had already opened his eyes. He took in Jian Mujin's tense, scared, and trembling expression. Although he wanted to laugh, he didn't.
She was like this when he helped others bully her before. He didn't feel sorry for her then, but seeing it now, he felt extremely pained.
"Of course, we should hand her over to the police station and lock her up for a few years!"
The old man wanted to say something harsh, but seeing her like this, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"A few years? My God!" Jian Mujin's hands were shaking so badly that she almost fainted.
"However, if she admits her mistake and tries to appease my grandson, I will consider not prosecuting her!"
Jian Mujin patted her chest and said, "How difficult is it to please people?"
She struggled to her feet, grinned at the old man, and explained, "I ran all the way here, I'm exhausted, my legs are weak!"
"Hey, are you alright? Do you want some water? Do you want some spicy hot pot? I'll go buy it for you if you want. Oh, you don't eat spicy food, so how about I buy you some fruit? That masked female warrior was a real bastard, she actually beat you up like this! Sigh..."
Jian Mujin was already trying to please Long Tingwei. As soon as she got over, she immediately touched Long Tingwei's face with her paws and then pulled his head to look at him closely.
The close proximity stirred Long Tingwei's heart. He reached out and grasped Jian Mujin's hand, saying in a hoarse voice, "My head hurts so much. You're touching me so comfortably. Will you stay with me?"
Jian Mujin nodded blankly, unaware that her hand was being held in Long Tingwei's palm.
Taking advantage of the situation, the old man said, "Dan'er, why don't you marry my grandson? Look at him like this, it breaks my heart. If you marry him, he'll get better faster!"
Jian Mujin glanced at Long Tingwei's half-dead appearance and immediately bristled.
"Old man, you're being unfair! Your grandson is already like this, and you still want me to marry him? What if he dies after I marry him? I'm already a divorcee with scars on my body, and nobody wants me. Now you're making me a widow! Are you trying to ruin me?!"
The old man's lips twitched with anger, and he almost kicked her. What widow? Was she cursing his grandson?
Long Tingwei reacted strongly. He immediately sat up, grabbed Jian Mujin, and said urgently, "No, no, as long as you agree to marry me, I will get better immediately. I can't bear to leave you alone. I will never let you become a widow!"
Long Tingwei suddenly perked up, made Jian Mujin blink hard, and said to the old man, "Look, isn't he perfectly fine? Doesn't that mean I've saved him? Haha, definitely!"
Jian Mujin immediately broke free from Long Tingwei's hand and tried to curry favor with the old man.
Long Tingwei smiled bitterly. She still didn't want to, did she?
"Grandpa, I cured your grandson, is there any reward?"
Jian Mujin's greedy appearance made the old man shake his head.
What do you want?
"I want you to introduce me to someone..."
He's unwilling to introduce Long Tingwei, and he's unwilling to introduce anyone else either. Isn't this just putting people in a difficult position?
"Dan'er, I recently bought you a car, it's red, do you like it?"
Long Tingwei was in a complicated mood. He suppressed his anger, forced a smile, and tried to distract her from finding a partner by talking about other things.
Jian Mujin was indeed delighted, "Really? Then I'll take a good look!"
When someone took her to see the car, the grandfather and granddaughter remained silent.
"It's alright. It takes time for a wound to fully heal, let alone the scars left on the heart. This girl is very resilient; she should recover faster!"
The old man patted Long Tingwei on the shoulder to comfort him.
"But Grandpa, every time I see her looking at me with those distant eyes, it's torture for me. Is there any way to get her back to me quickly?"
Long Tingwei weakly covered his forehead and eyes with his hands. The old man knew he was not feeling well, sighed, and then shook his head.
"We can only wait. Haste makes waste. What's meant to be yours will come to you!"
Long Tingwei let out a long sigh of relief. What comforted him most was that he and Dan'er had not actually divorced.
If Dan'er insists on leaving him, that invalid divorce agreement can bring her back to his side.
Long Tingwei smiled bitterly. He really didn't want to force her unless absolutely necessary!
When Jian Mujin learned that Long Tingwei had bought her a car, she jumped for joy and immediately took out her phone to call her friends, chattering excitedly nonstop.
"Dan'er, how can you be so shameless? I feel sorry for Long Tingwei. Take my advice and make up with her, okay? I've never seen a man go to such lengths for a woman. If you don't agree, you'll definitely regret it one day!"
