: Chapter 18 There will definitely be a way

After sending Rao Xuewei home, it was already late. Shen Nanfeng was about to return to the company when he received a call from Jiang Zhicheng.

Seeing the three words "Jiang Zhicheng" jumping on the mobile phone screen, Shen Nanfeng's face became even gloomier. After a pause, he still answered the call.

"Hello."

"Nanfeng, are you busy?"

Jiang Zhicheng's slightly flattering voice sounded on the phone.

Shen Nanfeng frowned slightly, a trace of annoyance crept up his brows, and asked in a deep voice , " What's the matter?"

"It's nothing important. Xiaowan's mother was in a car accident today. Her condition is serious. I'm afraid Xiaowan is upset. Please take care of her these days."

Jiang Zhicheng seemed to be feeling sorry for his daughter, but in fact he wanted to tell Shen Nanfeng about Lin Shuran's car accident.

Shen Nanfeng was slightly startled. Thinking of the time when he ran into Jiang Wan in the hospital today, he quickly asked , " Did she go to the hospital today because of this matter?"

"Yes, it's in Jiangcheng Hospital, your uncle's hospital."

Jiang Zhicheng naturally told the hospital information, and the implication of his words was obvious.

For some reason, Shen Nanfeng suddenly felt a little guilty, but his tone remained cold.

"Okay, I understand. I'll make arrangements at the hospital."

Jiang Zhicheng was waiting for Shen Nanfeng to say this. After succeeding, he continued attentively , " By the way, I recently found a good ginseng. Doesn't the old man like to make medicinal wine? I'll let Xiao Wan give it to him."

"Um."

Shen Nanfeng responded lightly, and the two ended the call.

Shen Nanfeng was in a complicated mood at this moment. He looked at the night outside the car window with deep eyes, and a series of questions emerged in his mind.

Jiang Wan stood me up today because her mother was in a car accident?

Why didn't she tell me about such a big thing?

And why is there a strange man with her?

Since you can't figure it out, let's investigate.

Shen Nanfeng retracted his gaze and instructed Lu Chuan in the driver's seat , " Find out who was with Jiang Wan in the hospital today."

"OK."

Lu Chuan quickly agreed, and then the two of them returned to the company under the cover of night.

On the other side, Jiang Wan finally left the hospital after being persuaded by Shao Yinyin. As soon as they stepped into the house, Jiang Zhicheng called.

Jiang Wan's mood had improved a little, but her expression suddenly darkened after she saw Jiang Zhicheng's call.

Thinking of his behavior in the hospital just now and his indifference towards her mother, Jiang Wan was in no mood to answer his call.

But now was not the time to lose her temper. She was not yet strong enough to break free from Jiang Zhicheng's control. Jiang Wan could only suppress her inner resistance and answered the phone.

"Hello."

"I have a piece of top-quality ginseng here. I'll have someone send it to you tomorrow. Please give it to Mr. Shen."

Jiang Zhicheng said in a commanding tone.

Jiang Wan, who was already impatient, finally couldn't help it anymore and asked sarcastically , " Do you need help with something again?"

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your mom got into a car accident, and you didn't even tell Nanfeng about it? If I hadn't called him just now, he wouldn't even know about it!"

Jiang Zhicheng looked righteous and confident, with a hint of blame in his eyes.

How could Jiang Wan not understand his little thoughts? He just wanted the Shen family to help solve the problem of medical expenses.

He is reluctant to even pay for his wife's medical expenses. His mother's efforts over the years might as well be fed to a dog.

Jiang Wan clenched her knuckles until they turned white, and the resentment in her heart continued to rise.

Before she could say anything, Jiang Zhicheng continued , " Nanfeng will help us arrange things at the hospital. You should think more about how to please your husband in the future, and don't let me worry about you all day long."

Jiang Wan sneered.

"Are you worrying about me? I think it's for your company and your own interests?"

"How can you talk like that? If I hadn't earned money to support you these years, would you have grown up so well? Would you have been able to marry into the Shen family so smoothly?"

It was the same rhetoric again. Jiang Wan was tired of hearing it, but was powerless to refute it.

What Jiang Zhicheng said was true. He raised me very well since I was a child, but in the final analysis, he just wanted to rely on me to make profits for him.

Jiang Wan didn't want to waste any more words, yet couldn't reveal her current relationship with Shen Nanfeng, so she could only deal with it for the time being.

"Okay, I got it."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Jiang Wan knew from childhood that she was just a daughter who was useful to Jiang Zhicheng. Jiang Zhicheng had always wanted a son, but he and Lin Shuran only had one daughter. Over the years, they had gone through a lot of troubles, seeking medical treatment everywhere, but to no avail. As Lin Shuran got older, Jiang Zhicheng's idea of having a child was forced to end, so he tried every means to use Jiang Wan to gain the greatest benefits. Until she married into the Shen family, Jiang Zhicheng finally got what he wanted.

No matter how Jiang Zhicheng treats her, as long as he is good to her mother, Jiang Wan feels that everything is worth it.

But what she didn't expect was that when her mother's life was at stake, Jiang Zhicheng only cared about the money and had no affection for his wife. In order to avoid paying for her mother's medical expenses, he even tried every means to get the Shen family to pay for it.

A feeling of sadness arose spontaneously. In just one day, Jiang Wan witnessed the indifference of family affection and the betrayal of her lover.

Thinking of the moment when Rao Xuewei gently stroked her belly, she finally couldn't hold it in anymore and her tears couldn't stop flowing out.

"Wanwan, why are you crying?"

Shao Yinyin, who was standing by, looked at Jiang Wan with tears streaming down her face and instantly panicked.

The blow from her lover failed to defeat Jiang Wan, but the indifference of her family made her completely collapse.

Shao Yinyin understands Jiang Wan better than anyone else. What she desires most in her heart is a peaceful life with the company of her lover and relatives.

However, in just a few days, all of this was shattered.

The loss of a loved one and the passing of the mother who had been closest to me since childhood also brought me to this great change. It would be a little too much for anyone to endure if they were to experience all of this at the same time.

"Do you think I am a failure in life? I can't keep the one I love, and I can't protect the one I want to protect ... "

Jiang Wan was filled with self-blame. For the first time in more than 20 years, she felt that her life was such a failure.

Shao Yinyin held Jiang Wan in her arms with heartache. It was the first time she saw Jiang Wan so vulnerable.

"No, I don't think so at all. I think you are very good, better than any of them! We don't care about those we can't keep, but as long as we try our best, we will find a way to protect those we want."

"Well, there must be a way!"

Jiang Wan nodded heavily and wiped the tears from her face.

From this moment on, she will do her best to protect the people she wants to protect!
