Zhang Hongmei was puzzled. What could be so urgent? But asking the driver wouldn't help. They certainly wouldn't know.
When they arrived at McCann's house, Zhang Hongmei got out of the car, while Huang Meihua and Beth were sitting on the sofa.
Annie ran downstairs. "Mom, you've come to see me?"
"Yes, but Grandpa and Grandma need to talk to me. How about Uncle Zeng plays games with you first?"
At this moment, Beth and Huang Meihua came over. "Annie, Grandpa has something to talk to your mother about."
“Okay, Uncle Zeng, let’s go upstairs. I’ll play the piano for you. I’ve learned a new piece.”
Zeng Zhongkang was actually unwilling; he also wanted to know what had happened, but since Hongmei had sent him away, it meant she didn't want him to know.
The three went to the study. Huang Meihua gave Zhang Hongmei a glass of milk.
"Hongmei, the Second Prince is completely ruined."
"Oh? What happened? We didn't intervene, did we? What's wrong with him?"
“Someone intervened, and not only is he no longer a man, but he will also be unable to take care of himself. Our people just came back and told me that the Second Prince's tendons and ligaments are now completely crippled. He will be unable to take care of himself from now on.”
"Who has such a grudge against him? Now he can't go out and cause trouble for others, right?"
"We don't know yet. Our people are just watching from a distance and can't know the specifics. But we saw that the Second Prince's wife was taken away."
"Could it be that the couple is hurting each other? But how can one woman control the second prince?"
"We don't know the specifics yet. There are still people there following up, and news will be sent back when it comes."
"Oh, then we don't need to do anything, right? I think we should just withdraw our people. There's no need for this. We can't afford to give anyone a handle to use against us."
"I've already told them. They won't get involved."
Zhang Hongmei's heart was pounding. It couldn't have been Zhang Shouyi; the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. She started to get restless.
"Godfather and Godmother, I'm going home. I need to go to the hospital. Aunt Wang has been in the hospital for the past few days. I think she'll be giving birth soon."
"I understand. I'll go to the hospital to see her tomorrow."
The driver took them both home. Zhang Hongmei greeted them, saying, "Aunt Chen, you've prepared the soup. I'm going to the hospital in a bit. I need to change my clothes first."
I entered the space in the bathroom, and because I was in a hurry, I didn't write anything down, I just said it.
I regretted it a little after I got through it. Zhang Shouyi should have been sleeping at this time.
I took a shower and changed clothes in the room. After I finished, I found a voice recorder on the table.
"Honey, you don't need to worry so much. I sent someone to do this. You just need to focus on your studies and come back. I'll take care of the rest."
After hearing Zhang Shouyi's words, Zhang Hongmei's eyes reddened. How to put it? It was like being bullied as a child, wanting to get revenge. But the adults in her family had indeed very firmly avenged her. That feeling of being protected was incredibly moving.
But then I wonder if I went too far? After all, they didn't really hurt me.
But then she remembered what Beth had told her—that the second prince had sent someone to investigate her after they left—and realized that she was just taking precautions.
Anyway, I'm not particularly upset.
Zhang Shouyi waited for a while, but didn't receive a reply from his wife. He knew that the girl was probably getting stuck on something again.
"Wife, don't feel burdened."
Go and investigate the Second Prince; you'll see that what I did wasn't excessive.
After hearing this, Zhang Hongmei, fearing that Zhang Shouyi might be genuinely worried, immediately responded.
"Brother Zhang, I'm not feeling guilty anymore. I've thought it through. You're still up at this hour? Don't work so hard."
"I woke up because I felt your letter; my sleep was very light."
Zhang Hongmei thought to herself, "I can't do this again. It's wasting his time too much."
"Brother Zhang, I'm fine now. I need to go to the hospital. Aunt Wang is about to give birth."
Okay, don't overthink it. Be careful on the road.
Zhang Hongmei went downstairs and saw Zeng Zhongkang sitting on the sofa waiting for her, with a thermos and lunchbox already placed on the coffee table.
"Let's go."
They got into the car and left the house. "Hongmei, was this done by one of our people?"
Zhang Hongmei nodded, regardless of whether Zeng Zhongkang could see it or not.
"Now that the matter has been resolved, why are you making that face?"
"Zeng Zhongkang, don't you think we've gone a bit too far?"
Why do you think that?
"After all, it didn't cause me any harm."
"You were lucky. Otherwise, do you think we wouldn't have had a fierce conflict if we actually met?"
"But I just feel like it's gone a bit too far."
"I don't understand your thinking, but I can tell you clearly. If I had that power, I would do the same, and I might even take his life directly."
Why did the McCain family want to support a successor? Because they knew what kind of person he was, and they wanted to prepare for the future. You surely know the principle of "the early bird catches the worm," right?
Zhang Hongmei remained silent, but she still felt uneasy.
The two arrived at the hospital. Zhao Tiancheng stayed with Wang Xinyi in the ward.
"Why are you two here again? We can just grab something to eat outside."
"It's alright, it's not far by car. Aunt Wang, how are you feeling today?"
"It's fine, I don't feel anything. Staying here is a waste."
“How could it be a waste? If you fall ill at home and then come here, there might be problems. So it's better to stay in the hospital. Besides, it's not as comfortable as home here, but it's safe. You don't have any family or friends at home anyway, so it doesn't matter where you are.”
"I know, you look so nervous? You two haven't eaten yet, have you? Hurry up and go back."
We're not in a hurry. We'll go back after you've finished eating.
Knowing that Zhang Hongmei was stubborn, Wang Xinyi quickly invited Zhao Tiancheng and Zhang Hongmei to eat.
The next morning, Zeng Zhongkang got up early and first went to the hospital to deliver food to Zhao Tiancheng and the others before driving Zhang Hongmei to school.
The bicycle had to be left for Shen Yunfang. She needed to deliver lunch to the hospital. So the four of them drove to school.
Some students came to drive in the morning, and some even drove nice cars. But the sight of four foreigners driving top-of-the-line luxury cars was quite eye-catching.
After the first class, Wyatt suddenly came over and said, "Hongmei, I'm coming to see you tonight."
"Okay, but you can be there by seven. I have to deliver food to the hospital."
Is Ms. Wang about to give birth?
"Not yet, but the doctor and Uncle Zhao both told her to be admitted to the hospital in advance, so they would feel more at ease."
“Okay. Carlos will go too.”
"Yes, I received his call this morning."
Zhang Hongmei roughly knew why the two of them had gone there together, but she really couldn't say anything; it was better to play dumb.
