Chapter 325: Love is Deeply Engraved in the Heart

~7 min read 1,254 words

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, reacting subconsciously that it was a syringe.

Immediately after, she heard Jiang Chenghao in front of her obediently agree: "Okay... change... change clothes..."

As Jiang Chenghao spoke, he took the initiative to stand up from the floor himself, turned around, and walked toward the bedside.

A bag was hanging on the wall there, and Jiang Baobao recognized it at a glance; it was the clothes she had bought for Jiang Chenghao last time.

She saw Jiang Chenghao walk over obediently by himself, then find a shirt.

Without anyone's help, he put it on and, somewhat clumsily, lowered his head to button it up.

Jiang Baobao watched his movements and couldn't help but be a little dazed.

"Baobao..."

Old Mrs. Jiang suddenly tugged at Jiang Baobao's arm cautiously.

Jiang Baobao snapped back to reality, lowered her eyes, and swept a glance at the Zhentingji in her hand without changing her expression.

If she could... she really wanted to take her little uncle with her.

Even if it was just to see Sister Xin'ai from afar...

A bold idea popped into Jiang Baobao's mind, but it only flashed by for a moment.

She understood that taking such an uncertain factor out was truly a bit risky.

If Jiang Chenghao really saw Liu Xin'ai and then committed some extreme act, it would be completely beyond her control...

Jiang Baobao took a deep breath, finally made up her mind, and walked toward Jiang Chenghao.

"The sleeves here aren't straightened out; let me help you."

As Jiang Baobao spoke, she reached out toward Jiang Chenghao.

Jiang Chenghao had no defenses against her and immediately stood still obediently.

Jiang Baobao kept one hand behind her back, clutching the syringe tightly, her mood somewhat bitter.

Yet, she still spoke slowly: "Little uncle, would you turn around, please?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chenghao nodded obediently and immediately turned his head to face the wall.

Jiang Baobao cautiously brought out the hand she had been hiding behind her back.

The next second, she jabbed it fast, steadily, and accurately into Jiang Chenghao's arm!

"Ah!"

Jiang Chenghao let out a sharp cry and instantly took a big step forward.

Then, he accidentally bumped into the bed frame and fell to the floor in a sorry state.

The medicine in Jiang Baobao's hand, however, had already been pushed into his body in that very instant.

"Cheng Hao!"

"Little uncle!"

Old Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Baobao immediately rushed over nervously together and helped Jiang Chenghao up from the floor.

But due to the effect of the medicine, his eyelids were already uncontrollably heavy, and he looked drowsy.

"I... want to go... find... the pretty sister..."

He kept muttering in his mouth, and a minute later, he completely lost his voice and fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Baobao hadn't expected the medicine to take effect so quickly; seeing him asleep, she then cautiously looked at Old Mrs. Jiang and asked: "Grandma... is this okay?"

"Yes, let's put him on the bed..." Old Mrs. Jiang nodded and sighed somewhat heavily.

After all, Jiang Chenghao was a grown man, and it took some effort for the two of them to finally get him lying properly on the bed.

After carefully tucking him in, the two of them walked out together.

Jiang Baobao closed the door cautiously, but her eyes were filled with unconcealable worry.

Immediately after, she heard Old Mrs. Jiang suddenly ask: "Baobao, what exactly does an engagement mean? Whose engagement banquet is your little uncle going to attend?"

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, and she couldn't help but feel sad again.

She paused for two seconds before answering: "Grandma... it's Sister Xin'ai; Sister Xin'ai is getting engaged to someone else today."

"Xin'ai?"

Old Mrs. Jiang was stunned by this and subconsciously asked: "Who is that girl Xin'ai getting engaged to?"

Jiang Baobao replied softly: "It's someone from the Qin Family."

"The Qin Family..."

Old Mrs. Jiang was slightly taken aback, then pondered for two seconds before she couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.

"The Qin Family... that girl Xin'ai won't suffer if she marries into there..."

Old Mrs. Jiang muttered to herself, then asked in confusion: "But how did Cheng Hao know about this?"

Jiang Baobao turned her head to look at the Flower Room in front of them, a shadow flashing across her eyes, and then she recounted the meeting of the three of them earlier, her mood becoming increasingly heavy.

After hearing this, Old Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but wipe away tears.

"I knew it... Cheng Hao has always had that girl Xin'ai in his heart, but the two of them are ultimately destined to have no fate in this life... However... Baobao, can you beg that girl Xin'ai for me for one thing..."

"Grandma, tell me." Jiang Baobao hurriedly agreed.

Immediately after, she heard Old Mrs. Jiang continue: "Right now, only Xin'ai can still give your little uncle some hope in his heart. I think... perhaps she can help your little uncle recover a bit. Can you beg her..."

"Grandma, don't worry, Sister Xin'ai said she wouldn't ignore little uncle and will definitely find a way to cure him!" Jiang Baobao knew what Old Mrs. Jiang wanted to say and hurriedly agreed.

Old Mrs. Jiang nodded, thinking of how Jiang Chenghao had acted like he was going crazy to get out just now, and felt a pang of heartache.

Jiang Baobao, however, suddenly thought of something, and her expression became hesitant.

She hadn't told Grandma the test results of those medicines yet...

Recently, Tiantian had been injured, and there were many things regarding the competition, so she hadn't explained to Grandma that the previous medicine hadn't shown any problems...

Or... should she keep it from her for now and think of another way herself?

Jiang Baobao's expression was conflicted for a long while, but in the end, she decided to speak the truth.

"Grandma, that medicine you gave me last time... Xinaijie has already checked it," Jiang Baobao said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jiang's eyes widened immediately, and she hurriedly pressed, "And the result? What did the result say? Is there a problem with the medicine?"

Her expression was full of anticipation, and her tone was somewhat hurried.

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, and she shook her head gently with some regret.

Old Madam Jiang was stunned, then she suddenly grabbed Jiang Baobao's hand: "How is that possible? That is the kind of medicine your uncle has been taking all along... it's impossible for there to be no problem!"

"Grandma, I didn't want to see this result either, but that medicine really has no problems..."

Jiang Baobao's tone was also full of helplessness, and as she spoke, she suddenly asked: "Are you truly certain that Uncle only took this one type of medicine?"

"I am certain!"

Old Madam Jiang nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Jiang Baobao did not speak, but instead began to ponder carefully.

If it really was caused by medicine... then that medicine could not possibly be without problems.

Xinaijie also said that drug residues can still be detected in Uncle's body, so he must have taken it recently.

Could it be that Xia Huiya and the others secretly...

As Jiang Baobao thought about this, she suddenly realized something, and she abruptly looked up and asked: "Grandma, is everyone from the Lu Family away today? When I came in today, I only seemed to see the servants."
