Chapter 324: Heartbreak, He Wants to Go to the Engagement Banquet
Two days later—
Jiang Baobao deliberately got up early and tidied herself up carefully, planning to attend Liu Xin'ai's engagement banquet.
The engagement banquet would not start until noon, but after thinking it over, she was truly worried about Liu Xin'ai's mental state, so she decided to go a bit earlier to see her.
But she did not expect that just as she was about to leave, she heard her phone ring.
Seeing that it was a call from Old Madam Jiang, Jiang Baobao was a bit surprised and hurriedly answered it.
As soon as the call connected, she heard Old Madam Jiang say anxiously: "Baobao! Your little uncle is having an episode! The Lu Family members are not here today, is it convenient for you to come over? Your little uncle is currently locked up by me, and there is no one else in the villa who can manage him... I... I really don't know what to do..."
Just as Old Madam Jiang finished speaking, the sound of forceful door-banging came from behind her!
It was also accompanied by Jiang Chenghao's heart-wrenching shouts, which kept coming through the receiver.
Jiang Baobao felt her heart jump with fright and hurriedly promised quickly: "Don't panic, I'm coming over right now!"
She put down the phone, and without another word, she strode out the door, drove her car, and sped toward the direction of the Jiang Family Villa.
Fortunately, the villa's location was far from the city center, and there were not many cars in the morning, so not long after, Jiang Baobao arrived outside the villa.
Jiang Baobao stepped forward and banged on the villa's main gate with a "bang, bang, bang."
The next second, the villa door was pulled open from the inside.
"Why is it you again?"
The person who came to open the door recognized Jiang Baobao and asked with an unkind tone, seemingly wanting to block her.
But just as they were about to speak, they were interrupted by another servant who had hurried to the doorway.
"Are you here to deal with the madman in the backyard? If so, hurry over there."
The person who arrived also had a disdainful tone, and while speaking, they pulled the person blocking the doorway aside to make room.
Jiang Baobao was in no mood to talk nonsense with them; without another word, she immediately strode inside.
Behind her, the servant who had just opened the door looked puzzled and whispered to the person beside them: "Didn't the master and mistress say not to let her in... Now that they aren't home, how about... we go up and tell the young lady?"
The other person heard this, looked at them speechlessly, and whispered back: "The young lady probably hasn't woken up yet; she's been in a terrible mood lately, do you want to go and court disaster?"
The person who asked just now did not speak.
The other person spoke again: "The madman in the backyard is having a sudden episode; what if we accidentally get hurt by him? Isn't it just right that someone came to handle it? When the master and mistress come back tonight, we'll tell them about this, and they won't blame us..."
The two people whispered to each other while turning to go to the kitchen.
The garden—
As soon as Jiang Baobao entered, she saw Old Madam Jiang looking over here anxiously.
She hurriedly walked over quickly, and before she could even speak, she heard a huge banging sound from the dilapidated Flower Room!
"Baobao, you finally came! Your little uncle... he hasn't had an episode for a long time, I don't know what's wrong with him today... Usually, just giving him an injection of Zhentingji is enough, but today he won't cooperate no matter what..."
Old Madam Jiang grabbed Jiang Baobao's hand, looking at the door of the Flower Room with heartache, her face full of helplessness.
"Get out! I want to get out!"
Jiang Chenghao was roaring in the room, his voice already a bit hoarse from shouting.
Old Madam Jiang hurriedly said with heartache: "Ever since just now, he has been saying he wants to go out, to go attend some engagement... but... but..."
Hearing this, Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, and she hurriedly asked: "Little uncle said he wants to go to an engagement?"
"Yes, that's what he said..." Old Madam Jiang nodded very firmly.
Jiang Baobao's expression suddenly tightened; she looked at the door in front of her in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock.
The person getting engaged today is Xinaijie.
So, did little uncle remember when Xinaijie told me the engagement time last time?
A sharp pain suddenly struck Jiang Baobao's heart, and she hurriedly said: "Grandma, let's let little uncle out first..."
"This... I'm afraid he will hurt you..." Old Madam Jiang's expression was hesitant.
Jiang Baobao shook her head firmly, her tone resolute: "I know how to soothe his emotions. Later, when the door opens, please find the Zhentingji and quietly give it to me..."
"Okay..." Seeing Jiang Baobao's determined attitude, Old Madam Jiang had no choice but to agree.
Then she added worriedly: "The Zhentingji needs to be administered with a syringe, but it's very small. If you're going to use it, you must catch him off guard and inject it into his arm for it to be effective..."
"Okay, I understand."
Jiang Baobao nodded with a solemn expression, her eyes fixed on the door in front of her.
Then she slowly lifted her feet and walked over.
Jiang Chenghao was still inside, banging on the door with a "bang, bang" sound, shouting meaninglessly, occasionally mixing in the word "engagement."
Jiang Baobao took a deep breath and suddenly asked loudly: "Little uncle, you want to go out, is that right?"
The room was suddenly quiet for a moment.
The next second, the man's even more intense response suddenly came.
"I... I want to go out! Engagement! Go to the engagement! Ah, ah, ah!"
It was as if only these few words remained in his mind, and he answered without hesitation.
Jiang Baobao hurriedly responded loudly: "Okay! I'll let you out, but you have to promise me to be good, then I can take you!"
"You... you..."
Jiang Chenghao seemed to recognize who was talking to him from outside, and he suddenly quieted down, as if he had suddenly returned to his usual self.
There was no sound in the room for a long time.
Jiang Baobao couldn't help but feel a bit worried and stepped forward to open the door.
The next second, she suddenly heard the person inside ask: "Are you... the friend of the... beautiful sister?"
The fingertips Jiang Baobao was about to touch the doorknob with suddenly trembled slightly, and she answered in a low voice: "It's me, I'll take you to find her."
The room became quiet again.
Jiang Chenghao seemed to be showing that he was really being good, and there was no sound at all.
Only then did Jiang Baobao carefully and tentatively unlock the door.
The dilapidated door was opened from the outside.
Jiang Baobao walked in cautiously, only then seeing Jiang Chenghao crouching pitifully in the corner.
Hearing the sound of someone entering, he finally lifted his head.
Immediately after, he flashed an innocent smile at Jiang Baobao and said obediently, "I... I am very well-behaved..."
Jiang Baobao suddenly could not help it, her nose stinging sharply.
She mimicked Jiang Chenghao's posture and crouched down in front of him, holding back the tears in her eyes as she smiled at him too.
Then, as if coaxing a small child, she spoke softly, "Uncle, do you want to go out? But if we go out, don't we need to change into new clothes first..."
Jiang Baobao asked in a low voice, and the next second, she suddenly felt something small being shoved into her hand.
