Chapter 159: Only Listen to the Words of the One You Love Most

Old Mrs. Jiang was silent for a long moment, then asked with a trembling voice, "Then... if it wasn't caused by the car accident, why on earth did Cheng Hao end up like this..."

"This... there is no way to be certain at the moment." Liu Xin'ai's expression was also one of indignation and helplessness.

She pondered for two seconds before saying, "If it wasn't caused by physical trauma, then there are many reasons that could have made him this way. Each one requires a slow screening process, and I'm afraid it will take a great deal of time and energy..."

"We can't do it today." Jiang Baobao suddenly spoke up, interrupting the two of them, and took out her phone to check the time.

She then continued, "Our time is limited today. We've been out for too long, and someone might report this to the Lu Family, so we must head back quickly."

Liu Xin'ai's gaze flickered for a moment, and she looked at Jiang Chenghao to the side with some reluctance.

She hadn't expected... that after so many years apart, their reunion would only last this short half hour...

Her heart felt a bit bitter, yet she still squeezed out a smile and waved at Jiang Chenghao.

Jiang Chenghao immediately ran over obediently, stood by her side, and smiled brightly.

"Cheng Hao, we have to go back..." Old Mrs. Jiang stepped forward to take Jiang Chenghao's hand.

The next second, she saw his expression change instantly!

"I don't want to go back!" Jiang Chenghao shrieked, grabbing Liu Xin'ai's hand tightly, glaring at Old Mrs. Jiang with a look as if he were about to strike.

Old Mrs. Jiang was startled by his appearance and instantly dared not act rashly again.

Jiang Baobao also didn't dare to breathe, fearing she might startle the Jiang Chenghao before her.

Liu Xin'ai felt a burning pain in the arm he was gripping, but she didn't care at all.

She pondered for two seconds, reached out, and gently patted the back of Jiang Chenghao's hand, her movements as soft as they could possibly be.

Jiang Chenghao indeed calmed down instantly.

Liu Xin'ai's eyes suddenly turned red, and she forcibly suppressed her emotions before whispering, "Cheng Hao, you are the most obedient. If you go home nicely today, we can see each other again when there is time, okay?"

Liu Xin'ai coaxed the person beside her in a soft, gentle voice, just as if they were two people in the heat of love acting spoiled with each other; so many years had passed, and yet there had never been a moment of estrangement.

Jiang Chenghao did not make a sound; he looked at Liu Xin'ai and blinked, seemingly thinking seriously about her words just now.

After another moment, he finally slowly loosened his grip on Liu Xin'ai's hand.

Although the expression on his face was still somewhat reluctant, he obediently stepped back two paces and took the initiative to stand by Old Mrs. Jiang's side.

"Ne... next time..."

Jiang Chenghao muttered under his breath, his eyes constantly darting toward Liu Xin'ai.

Liu Xin'ai's heart softened completely, and she hurriedly nodded in agreement, "I will come to see you next time I have a chance. It's a deal, hmm?"

"Mm-hmm!" Jiang Chenghao immediately nodded heavily, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.

Jiang Baobao and Old Mrs. Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them chatted with Liu Xin'ai for a few more moments before leaving with Jiang Chenghao.

Back in the car, Jiang Baobao's expression became somewhat grave.

"Grandma, the matter of Uncle's car accident back then... I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Jiang Baobao said in a low voice, looking at Jiang Chenghao with a worried expression.

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but sigh heavily, her face full of weariness.

"I was just an old woman... back then... I really didn't think that much. It's all my fault for failing to judge people correctly; at first, I even thought those people in the Lu Family were good people!"

As Old Mrs. Jiang spoke, the words had barely left her lips when she heard Jiang Chenghao to the side smiling and parroting, "Good people! Good people!"

Seeing this, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but frown: "Uncle is..."

"He is like this usually." Old Mrs. Jiang said in a heavy tone, tidying up Jiang Chenghao's messy hair before continuing, "I really... never expected that Xin'ai would be able to communicate with him just now. Usually, when I try to say something to him, he can sometimes understand, and sometimes he doesn't understand anything at all..."

As Old Mrs. Jiang spoke, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in her eyes as she asked, "Baobao, since your uncle can recognize Xin'ai, does that mean there is still a possibility of him recovering!"

Jiang Baobao was stunned by the question, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

This kind of thing... is simply impossible to explain.

Perhaps it was just that the bond between Uncle and Xinaijie was deep enough that he appeared incredibly docile and obedient the moment he saw her.

Jiang Baobao couldn't bear to let the old lady be disappointed, so she smiled and said, "Perhaps there really is a possibility of recovery. Xin'ai's medical skills are so brilliant, she will definitely find a way to cure Uncle. Next time there is an opportunity, I will bring you and Uncle out together, and we can have a more detailed examination done."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Jiang nodded repeatedly: "Good, I'll leave it to you. Before, it was Grandma..."

"Grandma, let's not mention the past; I stopped taking it to heart a long time ago." Jiang Baobao interrupted Old Mrs. Jiang and shook her head gently: "The only thing we need to do now is to cure Uncle as soon as possible and take back everything that originally belonged to the Jiang Family!"

On the other side, at Li Corporation—

Assistant Chen hurriedly took a file and ran quickly into Li Beijue's office.

"President Li, there is news regarding the matter you asked me to investigate."

As Assistant Chen spoke, he quickly placed the file in his hand in front of Li Beijue.

Li Beijue's expression tightened, and he immediately put down the work at hand.

Assistant Chen continued his report: "Miss Jiang's mother had a younger sister, which is Miss Jiang's aunt, named Xia Huiya. Her daughter, Lu Qing'er, is about the same age as Miss Jiang and once attended Huating Academy."

"Lu Qing'er?"

Li Beijue subconsciously murmured the name, then asked, "Where is that Lu Qing'er now?"

Assistant Chen hurriedly replied, "She is in the country, and the address is in the Lu Family's data."

Upon hearing this, Li Beijue quickly flipped to the second page and, sure enough, saw the address of the Lu Family villa at a glance.

His gaze flickered for a moment, and he suddenly stood up.

"I have something to take care of, so I'm going out. Cancel the afternoon meeting. Unless there is an emergency, leave all other matters until I return."

Li Beijue dropped the sentence and strode out of the office.

Outside the Lu Family residence—

Jiang Baobao did not dare to park the car at the entrance. Seeing the villa already in sight, she hurriedly asked the driver to stop.

"Grandma, I won't be able to drop you off any further ahead. I'll watch you go in before I leave."

Jiang Baobao said this while opening the car door.

But the next second—

A "Screech—" sound rang out.

A car that happened to be passing by suddenly slammed on its brakes for some unknown reason and stopped.

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but frown at the piercing sound.

Immediately after, she saw the door of the car opposite open.
