Jiang Beihuai visited Old Madam Jiang in the hospital in the afternoon. Only his little uncle and Jiang Beili were there.
The three aunts still didn't come, and even their children never visited the old woman.
Although his little uncle was physically present, his mind had long flown to making dirty money. His phone never stopped ringing as he was scheming with others on how to seize land and borrow excessive amounts from the bank.
Jiang Beihuai subtly reminded him, almost on the verge of a direct confrontation, telling him not to do evil in the name of the Jiang Group.
However, his little uncle remained stubborn. Jiang Beili also tried to persuade him, but he remained unmoved.
"Come on, Ahuai. Don't act all high - and - mighty with me. I know you're afraid I'll take your throne," Jiang Jiaqi even judged the noble - minded with his own petty heart. "I know I don't have your business acumen. I'm content with just getting a little share while you enjoy the big profits. So don't meddle in my affairs."
Since his little uncle had said so, Jiang Beihuai didn't find it appropriate to interfere further. Jiang Beili didn't say much more to his own father either. After simply greeting Jiang Beihuai, he left first.
Grandma was still in a coma, but indeed, all her physical functions had improved a lot compared to before.
Jiang Beihuai carefully asked the doctor about the nursing of acute symptoms and hired an additional experienced professional caregiver.
Looking at Grandma's unconscious face, even the faint resentment in his heart diminished a bit. After all, she was an old woman.
Although he had always wanted to break free from her control, Jiang Beihuai still hoped that Grandma would be healthy and safe. At least, he didn't want her to end up dying a desolate death.
He dealt with the group's affairs with a painful and complex mood, and it wasn't until he met Bai Wenxi in the evening that he felt relieved.
So when the girl invited him to exercise, he readily agreed without hesitation.
Moreover, Su Yuning was the first rich relative he met after returning to the wealthy family. She didn't care about one's background, was cute and smart, and was especially caring towards Bai Wenxi.
For the long - standing friendship between her and Bai Wenxi and her kindness all along, Jiang Beihuai was willing to introduce her to his closest and most trusted circle.
After the three of them finished dinner, they rushed to the stadium in a hurry. Jiang Beihuai and He Feifei simply wanted to exercise, while Bai Wenxi was worried about her sister's social life.
After all, Su Yuning had just graduated from college and hadn't experienced the hardships of society. She had been well - protected by Bai Wenxi, her uncle, and aunt since childhood.
Bai Wenxi was really afraid that she would be led astray by people with ulterior motives. There were already too many young and handsome boys around her who wanted to get something for nothing.
If those boys succeeded, Yuning's cousin's first marriage would surely be a complete mess.
"Hey, brother - in - law! Come here quickly," Su Yuning was wearing a sports miniskirt and had a high ponytail. Her whole body was overflowing with youthful charm.
She held a badminton racket in her left hand and waved her right hand high to greet the three of them.
"Why aren't you waiting for us inside the badminton stadium? It's still quite windy at night," Bai Wenxi saw that Su Yuning's hands were freezing cold and couldn't help nagging. "You've sweated so much. If the cold wind blows on you, what if you catch a cold and get sick tomorrow?"
Su Yuning showed her snow - white teeth and grinned widely. "It won't happen. Hurry up! Let's go play badminton together."
Seeing her jumping around restlessly, Bai Wenxi grabbed her hand. "Don't be in such a hurry. Let me introduce a little sister to you first."
She put her arm around He Feifei's shoulder and faced Su Yuning. "Look, this is the new friend I told you about."
"She's the playmate sister of your brother - in - law from his hometown. She's on vacation from college and came to stay with us for a few days."
He Feifei was a bit hesitant at first. Although Bai Wenxi was a very gentle and considerate person after getting along, she had met many domineering and unreasonable rich young ladies before.
She was afraid that Su Yuning was also such a person. If they couldn't get along well, it would be embarrassing for Bai Wenxi, and she didn't want to make Sister Bai sad.
However, unexpectedly, Su Yuning was even more enthusiastic and lively. When she saw He Feifei's round face, delicate and petite appearance, and snow - white skin.
She really took a fancy to her and familiarly put her arm around He Feifei's. "Since you're a good friend of my brother - in - law, you're also a good friend of mine, Su Yuning."
"Come on, Sister Su will take you to experience the high - tech badminton stadium and make you sweat like crazy tonight."
Seeing her carefree sister only knowing how to drag people around for fun, Bai Wenxi was worried. "I really want to see which boy it is that has won Yuning's favor."
Jiang Beihuai knew that his wife's protective instinct had flared up again. He couldn't help but laugh and cry. "She's a young girl. She's bound to fall in love someday. You can't just lock her up."
"Moreover, breaking up a loving couple is never a good thing. Think about the grudges and love - hate relationships among our parents' generation. It's better to let her fall in love freely."
Bai Wenxi knew that she was being overly worried. She originally wanted to convince herself not to treat her sister like a naive child.
But after seeing the boy who was playing badminton with her, she immediately changed her mind.
Jiang Beihuai also didn't expect it to be him!
"Beili?"
The two said in unison, both not expecting it to be this person.
Jiang Beili awkwardly touched his nose and was a bit afraid to look Bai Wenxi in the eye. "Sister - in - law, you, you're here."
After saying this dryly, he fell silent.
Bai Wenxi had tried every means to prevent Jiang Beili from having a blind date with her sister, but unexpectedly, the two got along very well and had already been hanging out together for a while.
Thinking about her previous cold attitude towards Jiang Beili, Bai Wenxi felt quite at a loss.
Jiang Beihuai was quite impressed with his cousin. He didn't expect that Su Yuning, who was so lively and a bit of a tomboy, could get along so well with him.
"Come on, stop standing there. Let's all play badminton together. We're not strangers," Su Yuning didn't notice the undercurrent and cheerfully greeted everyone.
Since they took into account that He Feifei was young, they let her play against Su Yuning first to practice.
Jiang Beili left the court and sat on the bench to wipe his sweat. Bai Wenxi immediately sat down beside him, on high alert. "How did you get to know Yuning? Why didn't you tell me? Who invited the other to play badminton today?"
Her tone was very sharp. Jiang Beili frowned when he heard it, but he was polite enough not to lose his temper directly.
He took a few gulps of water before answering these questions. "Sister - in - law, we're both adults. We don't need to report our relationship to others, do we?"
The sweat on his forehead glistened under the light. His beautiful fox - like eyes were slightly raised. "She's always the one who invites me. If you don't believe me, go ask her."
Knowing her sister's personality, if she wasn't willing, Jiang Beili couldn't have persuaded her to go out.
But Bai Wenxi wasn't convinced and wanted to ask further. Jiang Beihuai walked over and put his hand on her shoulder.
The two looked at each other. Jiang Beihuai subtly shook his head and then showed great concern for his cousin. "Beili, your sister - in - law is just too worried. Don't be angry."
Jiang Beili gave a calm smile and put the white towel on his head. The hanging corner of the towel blocked the upper half of his face, making it hard to see his expression.
"I'm not angry. Our relationship is actually very simple," he didn't seem to care much about Su Yuning. "She invites me out to play, so I come. It's just to kill time."
