Her heart hammered against her ribs, the suffocating feeling of her heartbeat crushing even more intense than before.
She took a deep breath, sipped swater to calm herself, and noticed her phone vibrate twice. She lowered her eyes to look at it.
A message from Jiang Jinsang: [Rest well. Follow your thoughts, and I'll handle the rest.] Tang Wan's breath deepened and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
* The next day dawned, warm with the winter sun, a rare beautiful day.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTang Wan had not slept well last night because a certain little one was too restless during sleep. After she got up, washed up, and stepped outside, Jiangjiang was watering the flowers in the yard with a pink spray bottle.
"Sister, good morning." "Morning." "Sister, I'm sorry. I heard from Second Uncle that I frightened you last night. I was just worried about you rushing out and wanted to wait for you to cback. I didn't expect to fall asleep while waiting." Jiangjiang walked over to apologize.
"It's alright. But let's keep the fact that I went out for so long last night a secret from everyone, including Great Grandpa." "Second Uncle toldthat too; Great Grandpa's health isn't good, and we shouldn't worry him." Jiangjiang readily agreed.
Tang Wan smiled and ruffled his hair. "Where's your Second Uncle?" "He's with Great Grandpa, taking Daidai for a walk in the small park." "Why didn't you go?" "I wanted to wait for you." Jiangjiang's sweet talk made her chuckle softly.
Actually, it wasn't that Jiangjiang didn't want to go for a walk; he was just afraid.
The small park was full of elderly men and women who would flock around him energetically like wolves upon sheep or cats sniffing out fish, overwhelming him.
"Let's go to the front yard and get ready for breakfast." Tang Yunxian got up early, sitting on the sofa reading the "Pingjiang Daily." He focused only on the politics and finance sections. Seeing Tang Wan leading Jiangjiang in, he folded the newspaper and placed it on the coffee table. "You're up?" "Dad, good morning." "Grandpa, good morning!" Actually, by traditional terms of address, Jiangjiang should call Tang Wan Auntie, so calling Tang Yunxian grandfather was natural.
"Have a seat, we'll eat breakfast when your grandpa and the others cback." Tang Wan glanced at the finance section headline, which featured several large, bold, black characters: [He Family holds press conference, suspected of losing major shareholder position, fully abandons He An!] She picked up the newspaper and skimmed it.
Seeing her interest, Tang Yunxian explained, "After He An's incident, it had a very bad effect on his family's company. The stocks plummeted. Even if the He Family could bear it, the other shareholders couldn't stand such turmoil." "Recently, there's been fierce stock power struggles within the He Group, but the He Family holds more than half of the shares and won't easily lose control of the company." "It's just an excuse to hold a press conference to completely disassociate from He An and try to salvage their declining situation." The newspaper had too many words, and Tang Wan was too lazy to read every detail. “So, cutting ties will save the company?" "It's too late..." Tang Yunxian scoffed lightly.
"Just like how nations in ancient times liked to blcertain women, declaring them a calamity to the state. If it wasn't for internal corruption and decay, how could a single woman topple an entire dynasty?" "He An never dealt with company matters, yet he held sshares. With the He Group in decline, those shareholders and management are just looking for a scapegoat..." "To cover their own incompetence!" Tang Yunxian revealed the truth of the matter.

Tang Wan listened intently, "So, no matter if He An is implicated or not, sentenced for many years, he's doomed to be abandoned."
"Even if he hasn't committed a crime, there are plenty of ways to target him. In the eyes of some,.e. incompetence is the original sin." Tang Yunxian scoffed lightly. "Why are you suddenly interested in his family's affairs?" Tang Wan never initiated discussions about anything related to the He Family.
"Just saw it in the newspaper and asked." "If He An is publicly discarded, then Mrs. He's situation is quite difficult indeed." Conversation halted only when Old Tang and Jiang Jinsang returned.
"What were you talking about?" The old man arrived in a good mood, carrying a birdcage.
"Nothing much,” Tang Yunxian stood up. “Just mentioned that Wanwan's grandparents might cback for a visit soon." "Oh, that old thing still knows to cback?" Old Tang teased jokingly, but a smile gradually widened in his eyes.
"He's been quite worried about you, wants to chfor a visit."
"At my age, a little illness is normal.
Tell them there's no need to run back and forth; that's just pointless hassle!" Tang Yunxian smiled and said nothing.
