Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master's Wife-Chasing Strategy

Chapter 563 The Arrogant Duan Langlang: Snatching from Me? Beating Your Face (1)

At this moment, Beijing’s First People’s Hospital…

Tang Jingci had never expected that Qiao Xiyan would actually say ‘strengthening my physical strength’. She was ashamed, angry, and anxious for a moment. But her father was still here, so she couldn’t confront him openly.

“Why did you flare up in the bathroom?” Tang Wangjin looked away from the phone and turned to look at his daughter.

“Nothing,” Tang Jingci said in a low voice.

She couldn’t possibly tell him that Qiao Xiyan had teased her.

Her fingers subconsciously caressed her waist and abdomen. The place he had touched just now felt as though a thin current of electricity had run through it. At this moment, she still felt numb and hot.

From the corner of her eye, she saw the breakfast Qiao Xiyan had brought.

Egg drop soup and steamed dumplings.

“Dad, I still want to eat something.” She only had one usable arm, so it was inconvenient for her to move.

“Still eating? Weren’t you full just now? I remember you don’t eat much.” Tang Wangjin was suspicious. Tang Jingci had an ordinary physique. She would gain weight if she ate, and she would lose weight if she went on a diet and exercised. Girls always wanted to be slender and beautiful, so she would restrain herself when eating.

“I just want to eat.”

“It’s a blessing to be able to eat. It’s good to eat more.” Tang Wangjin didn’t realize anything. “You girls shouldn’t always think about losing weight.”

Tang Jingci’s left arm was injured, so eating didn’t affect her. She was drinking a few sips of soup with a spoon when she heard a knock on the door. She looked up and saw a middle-aged man she didn’t know standing at the door. The woman behind him…

She had seen her yesterday. They were people from the He family.

“You are…” Tang Wangjin hurriedly stood up to welcome them. After all, they were holding flowers and a fruit basket, so they were obviously here to visit Tang Jingci.

“Mr. Tang, I’m sorry to disturb you so early. My name is He Maozhen.” He had just introduced himself when Tang Wangjin’s expression turned cold. “I’m He Xi’s uncle.”

The police had come to take statements yesterday, so the Tang family knew about the He family structure.

He Xi’s parents had passed away early, and it had always been Old Madam He and her uncle and aunt raising her. Yesterday, the He family had wanted to visit them, but their family had also been in a mess. At the time, Qiao Xiyan was here and directly blocked them.

“You have the guts to come!” Tang Wangjin’s tone was cold.

“Don’t misunderstand. I’m not here to plead for He Xi. She did something wrong and should be punished. I just want to visit Miss Tang and hope that she will recover soon.”

He Maozhen brought He Shiqing inside the ward and placed the flowers and fruit basket on one side.

Qiao Xiyan came out of the bathroom, leaned against the wall, and sized up the two of them.

He Xi was arrested, and Old Madam He almost had a cerebral hemorrhage and was hospitalized. But this man…

He can actually smile, and he’s in high spirits.

“He Xi made a mistake, and as her uncle, I can’t escape the blame. This is a criminal offense. What will happen depends on the court’s judgment. I definitely won’t interfere…”

He Maozhen wasn’t stupid. She wasn’t his biological daughter. He definitely wouldn’t want to get involved in this trouble. He had already decided to let He Xi fend for herself.

When Tang Wangjin heard this, he initially thought that He Maozhen was quite sensible. But the topic became more and more off topic.

“… Mr. Tang, I heard that you’re preparing to return to China to develop? How long are you planning to stay in the capital? I can help arrange accommodations for you as compensation.

“Our He family will take full responsibility for all your expenses in the capital. While you stay and work here, if you encounter any difficulties, although I don’t have much energy, I can help you solve them.”

Tang Jingci sat quietly and sized up the father and daughter in front of her.

Everyone in the room could roughly guess what He Maozhen was thinking.

In fact, ever since Tang Jingci’s identity became known, it became apparent that she had no emotional entanglements with Duan Linbai, nor were the two old friends. The reason Duan Linbai took care of her in every way possible was definitely because of her father.

The news that Tang Wangjin was preparing to return to China to develop spread like wildfire.

The He family’s visit…

They just wanted a piece of the pie.

The He family was in a mess right now. His niece had been arrested for attempted murder, yet he still had the mood to come and flatter Tang Wangjin. He was really shameless to the extreme.

“Haha—” Seeing the awkward atmosphere in the ward, He Maozhen laughed dryly. “Mr. Tang, this is my business card. You can contact me if you have anything.”

Just as he was about to hand over his business card, an incongruous voice sounded behind him.

“Oh, it’s suddenly so lively?!” Duan Linbai suddenly arrived at the door with the doctor and a few nurses.

“Young Master Duan.” He Shiqing’s words were still gentle and soft. She retreated to the side obediently. “We came to visit Miss Tang.”

Duan Linbai raised his eyebrows. From the corner of his eye, he saw the business card in He Maozhen’s hand, and his eyes narrowed.
