Even though Jiang Wenhao spoke up for Yin Manqing, no one present believed that this matter had nothing to do with her.

Who in the Jiang Family doesn’t know that Jiang Wenhao is a good-natured person, never speaking ill of others, always bottling things up inside?

Even when he had a car accident back then, despite many pieces of evidence pointing to Yin Manqing, he still defended her.

"Wen Hao, don’t be afraid. Your dad may be confused, but we’re not. Your grandfather will back you on this matter." Jiang Zhengfang said in a deep voice.

Qiu Shuyun, eager to see the house in chaos, chimed in, "Right, Wen Hao, even if you don’t think for yourself, you should think for Xiangqing. Being kind can lead to being bullied; you can’t always surrender and endure."

Jiang Wenhao explained, "I’m telling the truth. Recently, I’ve taken some new medicine, and it’s been quite effective. I was worried about any mishaps at the engagement party, so I took more, which might have caused rejection due to its strong effects."

"Is that so?" Jiang Zhengting looked at him doubtfully.

"Yes, aunt, I wouldn’t lie." Jiang Wenhao said, "The medicine is in my room, right under my nose. Besides Xiangqing and myself, no one can touch it, and Xiangqing would never hurt me."

Everyone’s eyes fell on Liu Xiangqing, instinctively believing Jiang Wenhao’s words.

It was evident how upset she was when he fainted.

What’s more, she had no motive.

"Alright, let’s not bring this up anymore and let Wen Hao rest." Jiang Zhenghong spoke up, "You’ve all had a tiring day, go home and rest."

Everyone nodded, gave Jiang Wenhao some reminders, and then left.

Only Liu Xiangqing and Jiang Zhenghong remained in the ward with Jiang Wenhao.

Jiang Wenhao suddenly asked, "Mom didn’t come, is she angry because everyone is slandering me?"

Jiang Zhenghong’s eyes flickered as he said, "No, you fainted suddenly, and the engagement party was a mess. She went to clean it up. You rest well, I’ll come to see you later."

"Dad, no need to come today. Rest well." Jiang Wenhao said, "Having Xiangqing with me is enough."

Jiang Zhenghong glanced at his daughter-in-law and nodded, "You’re doing a great job."

"Dad, it’s what I should do."

Watching Jiang Zhenghong leave, Liu Xiangqing suddenly threw herself into Jiang Wenhao’s arms, crying, "You scared me to death."

Jiang Wenhao patted her back, comforting her, "I’m alright now, don’t worry."

"Don’t do stupid things like this next time."

"Okay, I got it."

Shortly after, Jiang Jingheng received a call learning Jiang Wenhao had awakened.

At this moment, Mu Yan was already awake, sitting on the bed drinking bone broth.

Seeing Jiang Jingheng hang up the phone, she said, "When you go to the hospital, say hi to my brother for me."

Jiang Jingheng looked at her, saying, "Who said I’m going to the hospital?"

"Ah?"

"There’s no need to go. My brother has my sister-in-law. You need me to take care of you." Jiang Jingheng tossed his phone aside, glanced at the bowl in her hand, the soup was finished, but hadn’t eaten any meat.

He frowned slightly, "Finish eating the meat."

"But I just want to drink the soup, don’t want to eat the meat. How about you eat it for me?" Mu Yan said while handing him the bowl.

Jiang Jingheng, somewhat helpless, took it, ate the meat, and then poured her another bowl of soup.

"Then have some more soup."

Mu Yan watched him pour the soup and suddenly said, "I feel like Mom isn’t as bad as I thought."

"Why bring her up?" Jiang Jingheng said in a calm tone.

Mu Yan bit her lips, "Didn’t my brother say on the phone that this time it was his own issue, unrelated to others? Today, Mom was slandered by so many, and Dad publicly slapped her, she must feel very aggrieved."

"So what." Jiang Jingheng said coolly, handing her the bowl of soup, his voice softening, "Drink it slowly, be careful not to burn."

"Okay." Mu Yan took it, looked at his composed face, thought about it, but didn’t mention it again.
