Chapter 2140: Left Speechless by the Retorts

Xiao Qian shouted righteously, "If anything happens to my grandfather, I won't let you off!"

This woman's shouting gave Jiang Mobai a headache.

Even while Jiang Mobai was on the phone calling an ambulance, she kept on accusing them.

Finally, Jiang Mobai couldn't take it anymore.

He stared at Xiao Qian with a cold gaze.

This stare successfully made Xiao Qian fall silent.

Jiang Mobai then spoke slowly, questioning, "You have the strength now, but what were you doing just a moment ago when you were needed to help?"

"I..."

"If you really want to help your grandfather, put your coat under him to keep him from catching a chill!"

Use her own coat?

That was a luxury item, and very delicate at that.

Yet it would have to be placed on the ground, not only to be pressed down but also to get covered in dirt?

Xiao Qian was not willing.

Seeing that Xiao Qian neither moved nor spoke, Jiang Mobai more or less understood what was going on.

This made the smile on his face carry a few more notes of mockery: "A coat is actually more important than your own relative; you really are a model of filial piety!"

Xiao Qian heard the mockery in Jiang Mobai's words.

But she did not accept it, instead demanding righteously, "Take off your coat and put it under my grandfather!"

"On what grounds?"

"On the grounds of respecting the old and cherishing the young!"

"We fed him medicine and helped call an ambulance; we have already done all that is humanly possible!"

"But if it weren't for you upsetting my grandfather, would he have fainted?"

"Then why don't you talk about what your grandfather did to me?"

Regarding the truth, the old professor was ultimately in the wrong.

Xiao Qian could not refute this either.

In the end, she could only roll her eyes and make an accusation out of thin air: "Small-minded!"

Wang Zi was shocked by this woman's thick skin.

He asked, "You don't even know how to care for your own grandfather, yet you blame us? How can your face be so thick!"

"You..."

"If I were your grandfather, I would definitely jump up and smash your head!"

"I..."

"Having a pair of grandparents and grandchildren like you is truly a misfortune for the family!"

"..."

Xiao Qian was rendered speechless by Wang Zi's question after question.

Knowing she couldn't win against the sharp-tongued Wang Zi, she simply turned around and ignored him.

And in the end, Xiao Qian still didn't put a piece of clothing under the old professor.

The old professor just waited all alone for the ambulance to arrive and take him to the Hospital...

Worried that Jiang Mobai was tired, Wang Zi said, "Brother Mobai, you go back and rest; I'll follow to the Hospital and wait for the results."

Jiang Mobai was indeed a bit tired, so he did not decline.

But who could have guessed that not long after the old professor was sent to the Hospital, he woke up.

His complexion was very poor.

His eyes were also panicked and distraught.

Seeing his granddaughter standing by his side, he hurriedly grabbed her hand and asked, "Where is Jiang Mobai?"

"He's already left, but his accomplice is still outside."

Hearing this, the old professor tightened his grip involuntarily.

The old professor's body was still very weak.

With that little bit of strength, he couldn't hurt Xiao Qian at all.

But Xiao Qian was frightened by the old professor's sinister gaze and called out weakly, "Grandfather... are you alright?"

"How could I be alright? The situation is very unfavorable for our family right now; if we can't seize the opportunity to turn things around, we will lose all our reputation!"

"Then, then what should we do?!"

The old professor's eyes turned, and he whispered instructions to Xiao Qian: "In a moment, find a way to lure Jiang Mobai's accomplice away, then find a reporter you are familiar with."

"Why find a reporter?"

"I want to apologize in public!"

Apologize...

Xiao Qian realized something.

And her discovery made her even more panicked: "Grandfather, could it be that back then... you really..."

The old professor was unwilling to explain further.

He furrowed his brows and arranged: "There is no point in talking about this now; just do as I say, and as for the rest, I have my own plans!"

Xiao Qian dared not delay and turned to walk out of the ward.

As for the old professor, having just woken up, his body was very exhausted.

Yet he had no time to rest; sitting there, he replayed the events of these past years in his mind like a movie.

Afterward, he found a few key colleagues and students and urgently made some plans...

Meanwhile, Xiao Qian, who was outside the Hospital room, did not see Wang Zi.

Worried that the other party might have some underhanded tricks, Xiao Qian stopped a medical staff member and asked, "Where is the person who was standing here just now?"

"Oh, he answered a phone call and then left in a hurry; it seems he had an urgent matter to attend to."

He left?

That is just great!

Xiao Qian smiled and thanked the medical staff member who provided the information, then went to contact a reporter.

This task was not difficult for Xiao Qian.

After all, she was in the modeling circle and frequently came into contact with people of that profession.

But which reporter would be the most suitable choice?

Xiao Qian thought carefully and finally made her choice...

On the other side, Wang Zi, who was driving back to the racing team, was on the phone with the coach: "Please stop rushing me, I am already on my way back!"

The coach had already been lecturing him for quite a while.

But he still hadn't cooled off.

Originally, the racing team had a simulation training session in the afternoon.

The team members had all already arrived at the training ground.

Yet they waited and waited, but never saw a sign of Wang Zi.

Worried that something might have happened, the coach called Wang Zi.

As it turned out... this ancestor had actually forgotten about the simulation training race!

The more the coach thought about it, the angrier he became.

He started lecturing again: "Jiang Mobai is not here right now, and if we want to remain invincible, we must strengthen our training. But look at you, acting so lackadaisical; it is so disappointing!"

"Coach, I already know I was wrong, really!"

"You know you're wrong now, but what were you doing earlier? To be able to forget such an important matter shows that you don't value training at all!"

"How could that be? It's just that the matter on my end was also quite important, and once I got busy, I lost track of time."

"Oh, what matter could be more important than training?"

"It's just..."

Wang Zi had intended to explain truthfully.

But then he thought better of it, feeling that he shouldn't reveal Jiang Mobai's plans and arrangements.

Since he couldn't tell the truth, Wang Zi had to make up an excuse.

And this excuse... hmm...

Wang Zi racked his brains.

But before he could come up with a suitable excuse, the coach let out a cold snort.

Then he said: "That's enough, stop making up excuses; I'll deal with you when you get back!"

After saying this, the coach, having lost all patience, hung up the phone.

Wang Zi slumped his shoulders and let out a long sigh.

He figured that once he got back to the racing team, physical punishment would be inevitable.

But he deserved to be punished.

Today's incident was indeed Wang Zi's oversight.

If Wang Zi had remembered the simulation training earlier, he wouldn't have been caught off guard.

Then, thinking about how there was no one watching over the Hospital side...

Wang Zi quickly called Jiang Mobai, intending to tell him about this.

But the person who answered the phone was not Jiang Mobai.

"Brother Wang Zi?"

Wang Zi reacted for a moment before asking: "Momo?"

The person who had picked up the phone at this moment was indeed Li Moning.

She was holding Jiang Mobai's phone and said, "Mm."

"Why are you the one answering the phone? Where is your brother?"

"Him? He's careless with his things; he left his phone in the living room and went back to his room to sleep."
