Chapter 157: Not Wanting Her to Leave

The air was left with nothing but silence.

Li Beijue did not speak, so Assistant Chen had no choice but to stand there obediently.

Li Beijue's brows were tightly locked, as if he were thinking about something.

That girl from sixteen years ago was not Jiang Baobao...

But how could that necklace have any connection to her mother, Xia Xuerou?

And that little girl named Tiantian—her features and silhouette were also extremely similar to the girl from sixteen years ago!

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and suddenly thinking of something, he ordered in a low voice: "Go and check if there are any women in the Jiang Family around Jiang Baobao's age, and if they ever attended Huating."

"Yes." Assistant Chen agreed quickly.

The two chatted for a few more sentences before he turned and left.

Li Beijue sat alone in the car for a long time without moving, just staring with deep eyes at the direction of the villa entrance.

He had previously thought he had already found her...

But since it isn't Jiang Baobao, then... should he still let her continue to stay here?

Yanbao and Mobai currently cannot do without her, but if the girl from sixteen years ago is found, Jiang Baobao must leave!

Li Beijue's heart stirred slightly; he did not know why, but the moment he thought about letting Jiang Baobao leave, he suddenly felt somewhat displeased.

After a long while, he suddenly reached out and slammed the steering wheel.

Forget it, before the person is completely found, just let that woman Jiang Baobao stay here for now!

On the other side—

Jiang Baobao had just returned to her room when she heard her phone ringing frantically.

She scanned the screen casually, discovered that it was actually a call from Liu Xin'ai, and hurriedly answered it.

"Xinaijie, is something the matter?"

Jiang Baobao asked straight to the point.

Immediately after, she heard Liu Xin'ai say softly: "Baobao, about the opportunity we discussed earlier to have your uncle re-examined, do you have any idea when you might have time? His illness has dragged on for too long; it is better to treat it as soon as possible. I am truly quite worried..."

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao also furrowed her brows and sighed helplessly in her heart.

She had been truly busy during this period, and having just had a conflict with people from the Lu Family, she had not been in too much of a rush to bring Cheng Hao out.

But for Liu Xin'ai, since there was hope, even waiting one more day was a form of torture.

"Xinaijie, don't be anxious yet. I'm afraid this matter still requires Grandma's cooperation. I need to call her first; once we have discussed it, I will notify you, okay?" Jiang Baobao said in a low, soothing voice.

Liu Xin'ai agreed immediately: "Okay, then I will wait for your news! You can come to the Hospital anytime; I will be in the department these next few days!"

"Okay, then if there are any developments, I will let you know as soon as possible." Jiang Baobao agreed, then hung up the phone.

She then quickly found the number for Old Madam Jiang, which she had already had someone investigate, in her phone.

"Beep—"

The phone rang only once before it was answered.

"Hello? Who is this?" Old Madam Jiang's voice was somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly replied: "Grandma, it's me. I have something to tell you."

"Baobao?" Old Madam Jiang paused for a moment, subconsciously lowering her voice: "What is it? Go ahead."

Jiang Baobao then said: "I have contacted a Hospital that can re-examine Uncle's condition, but... I'm afraid I need your cooperation. Otherwise, just getting Uncle out will be a problem..."

"Okay! Tell me how you want me to cooperate, and I will definitely do my best!"

Once Old Madam Jiang heard it was to have Cheng Hao seen by a doctor, she agreed instantly without hesitation.

Jiang Baobao thought for a moment, then asked: "Does the Lu Family have any activities they need to attend recently? It would be best if we find a time when they are all out of the house..."

"These next few days will work!" Old Madam Jiang's eyes lit up, and she said in a hurried tone: "I heard them say the Lu Family seems to be negotiating some business recently; they have been leaving early and returning late these past few days, and are rarely home."

"Is that so? Then that makes things easier!"

Jiang Baobao let out a sigh of relief, a hint of a smile appearing on her face.

She then whispered: "Grandma, tomorrow morning after they leave, you just..."

The next day—

The family of three from the Lu Family indeed left the house early in the morning.

Not long after, Old Madam Jiang appeared before the housekeeper, limping.

"Housekeeper Li... I accidentally fell just now, and my leg seems to have some trouble. Could I trouble you to help me call an ambulance..."

Old Madam Jiang asked in a low voice, her figure hunched over, her left leg slightly bent, as if she were truly in unbearable pain.

The middle-aged woman addressed as Housekeeper Li immediately rolled her eyes in annoyance and spoke in a sharp, mean-spirited tone: "The master and mistress aren't home, so where would we have the money to call an ambulance for you? You'd better find a way yourself..."

Housekeeper Li dropped that sentence and turned to walk away without hesitation.

The people of the Lu Family did not hold Old Madam Jiang and Cheng Hao in any regard, and naturally, those who worked as servants were the same.

A dark glint flashed in the depths of Old Madam Jiang's eyes; she had long expected this result.

She then hurriedly called Housekeeper Li back and asked: "Then I won't trouble you, but... I might have to take Cheng Hao out with me. If I'm not there, his emotions might not be very stable..."

Housekeeper Li pondered for two seconds, seemingly struggling over whether to agree.

If this old woman weren't there, they would have to arrange for someone to go to the backyard specifically to watch that madman...

Thinking of how Cheng Hao acted when he had an episode, she finally waved her hand and said impatiently: "Do as you please!"

Old Madam Jiang said nothing more, watched her walk away, and then limped back to the backyard.

The two did not use the main entrance, but instead had someone open the small gate behind the garden.

Old Madam Jiang held Cheng Hao's hand, turned a street corner, and saw the black car waiting there.

Seeing them walking over, Jiang Baobao hurriedly rolled down the car window.

She was wearing large sunglasses on her face, afraid of being recognized in this vicinity.

Watching the two people get into the car, she then hurriedly told the driver to start the vehicle.

"Grandma, they didn't suspect anything, did they?"

Jiang Baobao asked hurriedly.

"No." Old Madam Jiang shook her head: "I just did as you taught me, saying I accidentally fell; how would they care about me? They just let me come out to see a doctor by myself..."

Jiang Baobao nodded lightly, but her mood was somewhat heavy.

The old woman before her eyes had once been an old lady surrounded by everyone like stars around the moon.

But now, there wasn't even anyone by her side who could care for or look after her, and her whole being was written with the vicissitudes of life.

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking, a silly laugh from Jiang Chenghao suddenly reached her ears.

"Pre... pretty..."

Jiang Chenghao reached out and pointed at the diamond bracelet on Jiang Baobao's wrist, appearing very interested.

Seeing this, Jiang Baobao hurriedly took off the bracelet and stuffed it into his hands.

Jiang Chenghao immediately acted as if he had obtained some treasure, holding it up before his eyes to examine it carefully, while making small exclamations of surprise.

Seeing this, Jiang Baobao felt a sudden, bitter ache in her heart.

If there really is any abnormality in today's examination results, she must find out why her uncle became like this!
