Inside the luxurious Tang Family home, the lights were brightly lit.
Elder Tang's condition had stabilized, so he was sent home. To please him, the entire family had gathered at the hospital to pick him up.
"Grandfather, it's getting late, I'll help you to your room," Tang Xuan and her husband said as they supported him.
"Grandfather..." Tang Jingxuan jumped in.
"Jingxuan, grandfather's not feeling well. Don't anger him with your nonsense. Learn how to act accordingly," Tang Xuan stopped him. On the surface, she appeared to be acting considerate towards Elder Tang's condition. But in reality, she was merely preventing Tang Jingxuan from mentioning Tangning's accident.
However, Elder Tang wasn't easy to fool. So, he stood up straight and said, "Jingxuan, speak. Grandfather will listen."
Tang Jingxuan took a quick glance at Tang Xuan. Hai Rui had not yet made any official announcements and he didn't actually know the truth. So, he decided to wait for the truth before notifying Elder Tang of the incident.
"It's nothing grandfather."
"What do you mean it's nothing?" Mother Tang rushed down the stairs towards Elder Tang, "Father, can you give me some time? I want to chat to you about something."
"Yuling, whatever it is, can we talk about it tomorrow?" Elder Tang asked in a harsh tone.
"Father, if it was something regarding me, I would be indifferent, but, this is an issue related to Tangning. There is no way I can hold it in until tomorrow," Mother Tang approached Elder Tang. "I previously tried to see you at the hospital, but I was stopped by Tang Xuan's people. Since I couldn't see you, I patiently waited at home."
"Go ahead and speak then."
Elder Tang glared at Tang Xuan.
"Xiao Ning fell while she was filming and we currently don't know if she's dead or alive."
"What?!" Elder Tang was shocked.
"Grandfather, calm down..." Tang Xuan immediately said. "Grandfather, the situation isn't as bad as she says it is. I've already asked someone to look into it. Tangning only suffered a minor injury and is fine."
"Someone? You've never liked the people in the entertainment industry, how did you manage to find out so quickly?" Mother Tang immediately asked. "I also asked someone to look into it. In fact, this someone was from Hai Rui. But, to this point Hai Rui has not officially explained the situation and has kept everything confidential. How did you manage to find out?"
"Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean I can't do it."
"When did you start caring about Tangning?" Mother Tang refuted.
"Yuling, since Tangning is fine, I guess it's a blessing in disguise. Once she's out of the hospital, you can go visit her. There's no need to make a fuss about it at home," Elder Tang pretended to be in favor of Tang Xuan. "I understand why you are acting this way. But, since Tangning is fine, let's talk about it later."
After speaking, Elder Tang turned to leave. But, Mother Tang suddenly screamed from behind, "Father, if you cause Tangning to suffer because you want to protect Tang Xuan, then I no longer have any reason to be nice to the Tang Family. I may not be able to find the real reason behind Tangning's fall, but, I'm sure Hai Rui would be able to do it. When that time comes, I hope you can handle it."
This time, Mother Tang turned around first.
An annoyed look appeared on Tang Xuan's face as she said to Elder Tang, "Grandfather, let me help you back to your room."
Elder Tang did not say a word as he walked back to his room with the support of his walking stick.
Tang Xuan and her husband returned to their room. At this time, Tang Jingxuan sneaked into Elder Tang's bedroom and had a chat.
"My precious grandson...were you disappointed with grandfather a moment ago?" Elder Tang sighed. "Grandfather has always been a symbol of fairness and justice. Yet lately, all I've been doing is avoiding and retreating. Tell me honestly, how is your Sister Three?"
"She should be fine," Tang Jingxuan replied.
