Chapter 2072: Stubborn as a Dead Duck

Jiang Mobai had one more thing he wanted to urge Jiang Motian about: "Regarding my affairs..."

"Rest assured, I'm not the type to go around wagging my tongue."

Jiang Motian knew what Jiang Mobai was worried about, and she gave him a solemn promise.

Jiang Mobai, however, gave a soft huff and muttered, "Yeah, you're the best at throwing cold water on people."

Regarding this point, Jiang Motian did not deny it.

She even gave a faint smile.

Seeing this, Jiang Mobai clicked his tongue and said with dissatisfaction, "Still laughing? You nearly angered me to death!"

"Hey, hurry up and drink your soup. You're drinking so slowly, you're making me crave it."

"Even if you're craving it, I won't let you have any!"

After Jiang Mobai finished speaking, he asked with a bit of awkwardness, "So, do you want some?"

"No, I'm going to go mooch a meal with Yangyang in a bit."

That's right, Jiang Motian had freedom of movement; whatever she wanted to eat or drink, she could just go get it.

Unlike himself...

Jiang Mobai let out a resentful sigh.

He began to sit there in sullen silence.

Seeing Jiang Mobai looking completely broken, Jiang Motian felt a bit helpless.

She glanced at Wei Yangyang.

Wei Yangyang tapped her watch, signaling that it was time to go.

Jiang Motian took this opportunity to leave with Wei Yangyang.

Wei Yangyang hadn't had much contact with Jiang Mobai in the past.

But she still knew what kind of person he was.

Yet, thinking about Jiang Mobai's behavior since returning to the country this time...

Wei Yangyang couldn't help but comment, "I feel like Mobai has changed quite a lot since coming back this time."

"Yeah, since he got back, it seems he hasn't proactively hit on any women."

For Jiang Mobai, that really isn't easy.

It's hard to tell if he's truly turned over a new leaf, or if he was scared off by Sui Xin.

Or perhaps... because of Su Kexuan?

This latter hypothesis made Jiang Motian fall into deep thought.

But she didn't ponder for long before being interrupted by Wei Yangyang: "Why did you provoke Mobai just now?"

Jiang Motian shrugged and replied, "Because I wanted to know how much he likes Kexuan, and whether his feelings can help him overcome his difficulties."

So that was it.

Wei Yangyang recalled the moment and summarized, "Mobai was shrinking back; he was hesitant, afraid of losing, yet unwilling to leave."

These were all negative descriptions.

But they also precisely illustrated one point: "So, Mobai really likes Kexuan."

Jiang Motian thought the same and nodded gently.

Wei Yangyang asked again, "Then what about you? Are you going to help?"

"How can I help? His debauchery over these years has left Kexuan with a terrible impression of him."

This... is also true.

Wei Yangyang started to get a headache too.

And only now did she understand what Jiang Motian meant by that "if only I'd known today" comment earlier.

Letting out a long breath, Wei Yangyang said melancholically, "He has jumped straight into hell-level difficulty."

"Who's to say otherwise? But for now, healing is the priority; everything else can wait until he recovers."

Wei Yangyang nodded in agreement.

She remembered what Jiang Motian had said about coming to her house to mooch a meal and asked, "Are you coming to my house to eat?"

"Yeah, I'm serious!"

"Then I'll let Wei Mama know."

Wei Yangyang smiled and called Wei Mama.

After hanging up, the two best friends naturally started chatting about a new topic.

And that poor little thing in the Hospital was just forgotten in the corner like that...

Fortunately, after a few days, the poor little thing was able to be discharged and go home to recuperate.

Because the cast on his leg couldn't be removed yet, Jiang Mobai's life was very inconvenient even after returning home.

He needed crutches to go in and out.

In terms of daily life, he also needed servants to take care of him.

This made Jiang Mobai feel extremely awkward.

Because of this awkwardness, the smile had vanished from Jiang Mobai's face.

He didn't really leave his room much either.

Jiang Baobao didn't want her son to be stifled, so she took the initiative to go chat with him and even brought a wheelchair.

Who would have thought that as soon as Jiang Mobai saw that wheelchair...

He immediately said with a face full of resistance, "I don't need that thing, it's like I can't take care of myself!"

"Hmm... but at the moment, you really can't take care of yourself."

Jiang Baobao's bluntness left Jiang Mobai speechless.

The next second, he stood up leaning on his crutches, his emotions somewhat agitated: "I can take care of myself!"

"Fine, fine, fine, I know, hurry up and sit down. You're wobbling all over the place; what if you fall?"

"I won't fall, I've been practicing using the crutches for the past two days, it's quite convenient!"

Convenient?

Jiang Baobao did not think so.

She felt that this son of hers was just being stubborn.

Right now, Jiang Mobai needed someone to persuade him.

But, who would be suitable to ask?

Jiang Baobao began to consider candidates in her heart.

At this moment, a servant knocked and entered, saying, "Miss Wei has come to visit the Second Young Master."

"It's Yangyang, hurry and let her in."

Upon hearing that Wei Yangyang had arrived, the expression on Jiang Baobao's face softened a little.

However, what Jiang Baobao did not expect was that Wei Yangyang had not come empty-handed.

When she entered the door, she was carrying a large bag in her hand.

Jiang Baobao asked in confusion: "This is..."

"Didn't I also injure my leg a while ago? I bought some health supplements, cushions, and things like that. I found them quite useful, so I brought some for Mobai to see if he could use them."

Wei Yangyang meant well.

Moreover, the familiar experience allowed her to empathize with Jiang Mobai.

Such a person... wasn't she just perfect for counseling Jiang Mobai?

Jiang Baobao felt that Wei Yangyang had come at the perfect time.

She said with a face full of smiles: "Then you and Mobai chat more, I'll go cut some fruit for you two."

"Sorry to trouble you."

"Oh my, why be so polite with your auntie? We'll be family soon!"

As Jiang Baobao said this, she patted the back of Wei Yangyang's hand.

Wei Yangyang lowered her head slightly, a flash of shyness crossing her face.

Her wedding date with Li Xingyan had already been set.

In the near future, she would become Li Xingyan's bride.

Thinking of that day... Wei Yangyang became even more shy.

A sweet smile still hung on her face.

But the sound of the door closing as Jiang Baobao left brought Wei Yangyang back from her reverie.

She patted her cheeks, ordering herself to calm down.

Then she took the items out of the bag, preparing to introduce them to Jiang Mobai.

Who knew that just as she opened her mouth to say a word, Jiang Mobai leaned on his crutches and walked over to the cabinet.

Wei Yangyang tilted her head in curiosity.

She saw Jiang Mobai take a small object out of the cabinet.

Wei Yangyang looked closely...

A dumbbell?!

What Jiang Mobai had found really was a dumbbell.

She saw him holding the dumbbell in one hand, lifting it up and down, and starting to exercise.

He even reminded Wei Yangyang while exercising: "Keep going, I'm listening."

Wei Yangyang could not continue.

She suddenly felt that she and Jiang Mobai were in completely different situations.

For Jiang Mobai, Wei Yangyang's experience would not have any guiding significance...

Wei Yangyang pursed her lips and asked a question: "Are you, exercising?"

"Yeah."

Jiang Mobai had been lying in bed all day with nothing to do; he had gained weight, and his muscle definition was no longer obvious.

This was terrifying.
