Jiang Yingying subconsciously took it. “Thank you.”

“You should understand that just because I asked you to buy breakfast doesn’t mean that I’m really hungry. We just wanted to send you away to discuss something we didn’t want you to hear.” Chu Tang’s voice was low and cold, which made Jiang Yingying’s hand, which was wiping her sweat, freeze slightly.

As if he didn’t notice Jiang Yingying’s change in expression, Chu Tang continued, “So there’s no need for you to come back in such a hurry!”

Jiang Yingying pursed her lips and was about to speak when Jiang Xiaoyong hurriedly walked over and said, “Mr. Chu, Yingying was just worried that you wouldn’t be able to eat breakfast in time. Don’t mind her. She grew up in the countryside and can’t help but be a little oblivious sometimes. Please forgive her.”

“Uncle!” Jiang Yingying gritted her teeth. She didn’t feel that she was in the wrong, nor could she accept her uncle being so humble in front of Chu Tang.

“Yingying, shut up!” Jiang Xiaoyong looked at her disapprovingly. “You have to know that your image as Madam Chu will always be more important than anything else!”

“Between pride and people, people are more important!”

“Be more sensible! You’re now the daughter-in-law of the prestigious Chu family! Your every word and action represents the Chu family!”

While the two were in disagreement, Chu Tang listened quietly and turned around. He wheeled himself to the window to enjoy the morning breeze.

When he was ten years old, his last family member had left him. No one else took care of him like Jiang Yingying did. In order to let him eat breakfast earlier, she even climbed the stairs while panting.

He had always been lonely. Now that he heard an ordinary family quarrel over breakfast, he actually felt that this was a blessing. At the thought of this, Chu Tang couldn’t help but smile self-deprecatingly.

“He’s your breakfast. There aren’t any high-end pastries downstairs. There’s only warm fried dough sticks and soy milk. Don’t mind it,” Jiang Yingying said in a clear voice.

Chu Tang turned around and saw her beautiful face.

At this moment, Jiang Yingying was inserting the straw into the soy milk cup. Then, she smiled and handed it to him. “You rich people must have never drunk this before, right? It’s very tasty and refreshing.”

This was the first time Chu Tang had drunk soy milk made outside. It had a sweet taste. It matched Chu Tang’s current mood.

At this moment, the door to the emergency room opened.

The nurse pushed Old Madam Jiang out of the emergency room. “The patient is no longer in danger, but she still needs to be hospitalized for observation for a period of time.” With that, the nurse looked at Jiang Xiaoyong meaningfully. “The patient can’t get agitated.”

Jiang Xiaoyong nodded fiercely. “I understand.”

When Jiang Yingying heard this, she frowned. Who had agitated her grandmother again? Back then, when her grandmother found out that she was going to marry a disabled person, she was so angry that she fainted. How long ago had it been? Who had agitated her again? She looked at Jiang Xiaoyong.

Jiang Xiaoyong looked away in a panic and pushed Old Madam Jiang back to the ward with the nurse.

Because Old Madam Jiang had been unconscious, Jiang Yingying brought Chu Tang to see Old Madam Jiang a few times before leaving

Chu Tang returned to the Langyue Residence while Jiang Yingying went to school.

However, as soon as she stepped into the school, Jiang Yingying felt that the surrounding students were looking at her strangely. However, Jiang Yingying didn’t care and continued class.

Because her class schedule today was different from Yang Xuerong’s, they only met at night.

After school, Yang Xuerong found her and said angrily. “Yingying, that crazy woman Ba Baiyu has an online username called Beautiful Jade. Bah, doesn’t she find it disgusting?!”

“What does it have to do with us? She can call herself whatever she wants.” Jiang Yingying comforted her. Although their relationship with Ba Baiyu was average, they didn’t have to make fun of her online username.

Hearing this, Yang Xuerong was even more angry. “The problem is that this crazy woman posted on the school’s internet. She claimed that she had exclusive news that a poor student from the countryside was being kept by someone! There were many comments. Ba Baiyu said that there was a luxury car picking her up and now, her poor relatives are at the school gate asking for money!”

Only then did Jiang Yingying remember that Ba Baiyu had seen Chu Tang’s car when it came to pick her up after school yesterday evening. However, she was still a little uncertain. “She can’t be talking about me, right? I’m not a kept woman.”

Yang Xuerong rolled her eyes and took out her phone to show Jiang Yingying. “Of course I know you’re not! But that crazy woman is saying that it’s you. Your aunt is waiting for you at the school gate! If you’re discovered, you’ll be confirming this rumor!”
