Tuesday.

One day before the trial.

The autumn weather in Beijing was refreshing.

At the Jiang residence.

Restless, Tang Wanru paced back and forth in the house. She was about to die of anger.

"It must be Qiao Nian!"

She couldn't sleep for a few days in a row, and blisters appeared on her mouth. She was so angry that her eyes were about to roll back.

"She must be the one causing trouble behind the scenes. That's why no lawyer is willing to take Xianrou's case!"

Jiang Zongnan was still in the hospital.

Jiang Li had been living outside ever since he became an adult.

Other than a Filipino maid, only Jiang Yao was in the huge villa.

He was pulled back by his mother the moment he went downstairs and listened to her angry accusations.

Annoyed, he rubbed his temples and said, "Mother, don't suspect anything if you don't have evidence. It shouldn't be Qiao Nian. I've to go to the hospital to see Grandpa. Apply for an assisting lawyer from the court if you really can't find anyone."

The court provided humanitarian legal assistance to those who were unable to get a lawyer.

However, only those who could not afford legal fees would apply.

Tang Wanru wanted to find the best lawyer for Jiang Xian, so how could she be willing to hire these ordinary lawyers who didn't require money?

She was about to say something when Jiang Yao received a call from the hospital. It was unknown what the person on the other end of the call said, but Jiang Yao's dispiritedness was swept away and he raised his voice. "He's awake? Okay, I'll be right there."

Then, he hurriedly wanted to leave.

However, Tang Wanru quickly pulled him back and asked, "Who's awake?"

Jiang Yao didn't want to tell her at first, but then he thought about how she was also a member of the Jiang family and how happy he was. He told her, "Grandpa. The doctor just called to inform me that Grandpa is awake. He's been awake for ten minutes."

Tang Wanru didn't care much at first, but then she thought of something. She quickly took her bag and followed him out. "Wait, I'll go to the hospital with you."

Old Master Jiang was in a coma for five days before he woke up.

Everyone from the family rushed to City General Hospital as soon as they received the news.

Jiang Yao and Tang Wanru were the first to arrive.

Jiang Yao first went to find a doctor to ask about Old Master Jiang's health, while Tang Wanru went into the ward to visit the old man.

Old Master Jiang was old and had been in a coma for a long time. Even with the famous Old Master Huang in the medical field treating him, his body was still very weak.

Jiang Yao understood Old Master Jiang's general situation from the doctor and returned to the ward.

Unexpectedly, the moment he entered, he saw Tang Wanru standing in front of the bed, wiping her tears.

When he entered, Old Master Jiang was lying on the hospital bed. His hair had turned white, and he looked tired and weak. He narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips without saying anything.

"Dad, just help…" Tang Wanru was talking, but halfway through, she stopped when she saw him enter. She wiped her tears and forced a smile, then said perfunctorily to the old man on the bed, "Dad, take good care of yourself. I won't disturb you anymore. I'll go out first."

She picked up her bag and rushed out, afraid that Jiang Yao would question her.

She didn't even ask Jiang Yao if he wanted to leave with her.

Jiang Yao waited for her to go out, then looked at the old man on the bed with his eyes closed. He wanted to ask the Old Master if his mother had just said something about Jiang Xianrou.

He swallowed his words, unwilling to mention these things when the old master had just woken up.

Qiao Nian arrived half an hour later than Tang Wanru.

Tang Wanru was probably afraid that Qiao Nian would know that she had been there, so she didn't stay in the hospital for long.

However, Qiao Nian already knew that Tang Wanru had been to the hospital. She even visited Old Master Jiang.
