Chapter 205: Why Doesn’t She Know How to Fight for Herself
Jiang Chenglang walked over to her bedside and stretched out the back of his hand to check her forehead.
“You’re still a little hot.”
He said unhappily, “Is this doctor useless? He can’t even cure such a small thing?”
Jiang Chenglang took out his cell phone and made a call. After hanging up the phone, he said, “Wan Wan, please wait a little longer. I’ve called another doctor to come over and take another look at you.”
Jiang Wan said in a hoarse voice, “Thank you, Big Brother.”
Ni Manman has met Jiang Chenglang a few times before but other than greeting him politely, she did not say anything else.
However, this time, she could not help but want to seek justice for Jiang Wan, so she mocked him rudely, “Director Jiang, you’re a busy man. To ask for a meeting with you, we have to make an appointment a few months in advance, right? Mustn’t have been easy for you to make time to come today.”
Before Jiang Chenglang could say anything, Jiang Wan quickly tried to smooth things over. “I didn’t tell Big Brother about this. It’s not that Big Brother didn’t come on purpose. Big Brother didn’t know that I’m sick.”
Then, she hurriedly said to Jiang Chenglang, “Big Brother, please don’t take it to heart. Man Man is a blunt person. She only such things because she cares about me.”
“It’s okay.”
Jiang Wan blinked. “That’s good then.”
Ni Manman snorted coldly and turned her head away.
Jiang Chenglang walked out and asked the servants at home about Jiang Wan’s recent situation. He learned that she had been attending classes on time and the tutor had even praised her for her hard work. However, she did not have a good appetite and could not eat much throughout the day. She did not seem to sleep well at night either. There had been a few nights where she had woken up after having a terrible nightmare.
If she wasn’t eating or sleeping well, it was no wonder that her immune system levels had dropped and she fell sick.
Soon, the doctor arrived.
He gave Jiang Wan a check-up and said, “She has an upper respiratory tract infection. I’ll prescribe some medicine. She needs to be put on a drip for two days. Take plenty of rest and eat a light diet.”
Jiang Chenglang instructed someone to accompany the doctor to get the medicine. He sat down on the stool in the room.
Ni Manman said unhappily, “Wan Wan, are you still going to stay here?”
Jiang Wan covered herself with the blanket, revealing only her small face.
She said softly, “I don’t think there’s anything bad about staying here. It’s quiet, and I can study hard. It’s pretty good.”
“You!”
Like an emperor thinking about a eunuch, Ni Manman’s heart ached for the broken Jiang Wan.
Why doesn’t she know how to fight for herself?
Now that Jiang Chenglang was here, it was a great opportunity. She could just pretend to be miserable and cry in front of Jiang Chenglang. Jiang Chenglang would definitely take her home.
Why was she so stubborn and so determined to put on a brave face?
Ni Manman did not know why Jiang Wan had been kicked out of the Jiang family home. Of course, Jiang Wan would not tell her the truth.
When Ni Manman had asked about it, Jiang Wan only gave her a vague answer. Ni Manman guessed that Jiang Yu must have done some under-table job.
After all, she managed to make her and Wan Wan run three laps around the sports field. What else could she not do?
Ni Manman crossed her arms and sulked.
Jiang Wan comforted her again, “Alright, don’t think too much. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. It’s almost the end of the month. Time really flies.”
Ni Manman replied, “That’s right. It’s almost the end of the month. It’s almost January.”
Wait, the end of the month?
Is something happening?
Ni Manman looked at the date and said, “That’s right. It’s almost the day of the Feng family banquet. You have to get well soon. Otherwise, how are you going to attend?”
