Chapter 413: Can Jiang Minghua Ever Outplay Him In Mind Games?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Tang Beibei gritted her teeth when she heard Jiang Minghua’s insult that she was an embarrassment to the Jiang family.

Suddenly, a large hand patted her back for her to calm down.

Jiang Minghua had been making rounds in the socialite circle with her mother since she was young. She was familiar with various scheming tactics. Making false accusations and lying was second nature to her.

His little wife, on the other hand, was a very frank person. It already took her great efforts to come up with tactful rebuttals to retaliate against Jiang Minghua.

“She is my wife. I will naturally keep her in check.

Jiang Jingchen glanced at Song Yan and let out a cold chuckle. “My wife is

Professor Chen’s student. Professor Chen from A-University is a world-famous TCM practitioner who has treated all kinds of complicated diseases.

“I wanted to discuss with you guys when I came here today about asking my wife to talk her mentor into treating my second brother. But since you guys think that my wife isn’t good enough, I won’t bring it up.”

Song Yan’s eyes lit up when she heard that there was still hope for Jiang

Minglang’s condition.

Professor Chen was a renowned veteran TCM practitioner. Not only had Song Yan heard of him, but even Jiang Xing had heard of him.

However, this veteran TCM practitioner was very eccentric and didn’t just treat any patient for money. Song Yan had tried to ask him to treat Jiang Minglang, but she had been rejected.

Now that Jiang Jingchen brought it up, she stared at Tang Beibei and asked, “Is your mentor really Professor Chen?”

Tang Beibei nodded. “Yes, Professor Chen is my mentor, but I’m not good enough. I wouldn’t dare to tarnish my teacher’s reputation.”

Song Yan was a little excited. “Beibei, you’re too modest. You were able to get into A-University and was selected by Professor Chen. How can that be considered tarnishing his reputation?”

Jiang Minglang was her son. She wouldn’t give up if there was hope for his treatment.

She stood up with a smile and said fawningly, “Beibei, come and sit down. Let’s talk about this.”

Tang Beibei retreated. They had never invited her to sit down when they visited. It was unbelievable that they were trying to cozy up to her now.

She said, “I’m young and insensible. My husband still has to teach me about life and keep me in check when we go home, or I would embarrass the Jiang family.”

Tang Beibei was mocking Jiang Minghua for what she said earlier. Jiang

Minghua was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.

Who knew that she was Professor Chen’s student and could help get treatment for her second brother?

Song Yan quickly asked her daughter to apologize to Tang Beibei, but Jiang

Minghua was reluctant.

Why should she apologize to Tang Beibei? Professor Chen was so eccentric.

Why would he listen to her?

For all they knew, Tang Beibei was using Professor Chen as a cover to tease them.

“Mom, Sister-in-law is just a student. How can she convince Professor Chen?

We’d better think of another way.”

It was not that Song Yan did not understand her daughter’s thoughts, but she would try as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

Since her daughter didn’t heed her advice, she could only look to Jiang Xing.

“Hubby, if we can get Professor Chen to treat Minglang, maybe we can turn things around for him. Will you ask Beibei to help, please?”

Jiang Xing also hoped that his second son would recover as soon as possible.

He glanced at Tang Beibei and said in a commanding tone, “You’re Professor

Chen’s student. Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“Professor Chen is an excellent doctor. Go and talk him into treating your second brother. If it works, the Jiang family will definitely treat you well.”

The Jiang family was his, not hers.

Jiang Xing obviously didn’t treat Tang Beibei as a member of the Jiang family. Putting aside whether Tang Beibei could talk Professor Chen into treating Jiang Minglang, Jiang Xing and Song Yan’s attitude when seeking treatment was repulsive.

It was as if Professor Chen must cure Jiang Minglang. If he couldn’t, they would blame Professor Chen for being incompetent and unworthy of his reputation.

Tang Beibei wanted to refuse, but the man tugged at her back. She turned to look at him in confusion when she heard him say, “Dad, you didn’t ask about my wife’s academic qualifications and her teachers. My wife can’t be so thick-skinned as to tell you that her mentor is Professor Chen, right?”

“Besides, my wife is just a student. How can she talk Professor Chen into treating Jiang Minglang? We’d better think of another way.”

He was using Jiang Minghua’s words to refute Jiang Xing.

Jiang Xing was stumped for words. He just glared at Jiang Jingchen.

Song Yan got anxious. She wiped her tears aggrievedly and said in a sobbing tone, “Jingchen, we all know that you don’t get along with Minglang. I can understand if you don’t want to help him.

“But you also said that you and he are brothers. You can’t just watch him spend the rest of his life like that. You have to help him.”

She was crying now to morally blackmail him.

Since Jiang Minglang was his younger brother, he must help him.

But did Song Yang remember how she and her son treated Jiang Jingchen back then when he was almost crippled in a car accident?

Jiang Minglang mocked him and said that he wouldn’t live to adulthood. If he became a cripple, he should just die early. If it were him, he definitely wouldn’t have the face to live on.

Now when Jiang Minglang was a cripple, Song Yan was begging him to find him a doctor.

Jiang Jingchen never claimed to be a magnanimous person.

“It’s not that I won’t help him. Jiang Minghua said that my wife’s medical skills aren’t good enough and that she would harm others. I wouldn’t want her to harm Jiang Minglang.”

Jiang Minghua could tell that Jiang Jingchen was using her second brother’s illness to force her to apologize.

“First Brother, asking Professor Chen to treat my second brother has nothing to do with her medical skills, right?”

Jiang Jingchen smiled. “Of course, it does. My wife is Professor Chen’s student.

If Professor Chen asks her to assist, my wife will come into contact with Jiang Minglang. What if my wife didn’t learn well and something happened to him, huh?”

Jiang Minghua’s expression froze as she looked to Song Yan for help.

Song Yan pondered if her daughter’s pride or her son’s future was more important.

It was obvious that her son’s future was more important than her daughter’s pride.

“Xiaohua, listen to Mom and apologize to your sister-in-law. If Professor Chen treated your second brother, it could be a real turning point for him.

Jiang Minghua was very reluctant and grumbled in her heart.

Her mother had promised to stand up for her. How could she go back on her word and help Jiang Jingchen bully her now?

She looked at Jiang Xing and said, “Dad, it’s not that I don’t want to apologize to her. What if she can’t convince Professor Chen? How about this? 111 apologize when Sister-in-law successfully talks Professor Chen into treating Second Brother.”

Of course, Jiang Xing sided with his daughter. “Xiaohua is right. Everything will be fine when Tang Beibei gets Professor Chen to treat your second brother.

“Yes, yes, I think so too. Dad, you’re so wise.”

Jiang Jingchen knew that Jiang Minghua was trying to fool them. She wouldn’t apologize now. And if his wife really convinced Professor Chen, she would come up with another excuse. If his wife brought up the apology later, she would say that Tang Beibei was petty and insensible.

Could Jiang Minghua ever outplay him in mind games?

Haha.

Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows and put his arm around his wife’s shoulders. “If you want my wife to beg her mentor, of course, it depends on her mood.”

“If my wife is in a good mood, she may succeed. If my wife is in a bad mood, she may not succeed!”

“You…” Jiang Minghua was pushed into a corner and cried in grievance. “Dad, Sister-in-law is so cold. She wouldn’t even help Second Brother.”

Tang Beibei opened her mouth. “It’s not that I don’t want to help. I don’t even get the most basic respect. If I’m cold as you said, it’s only natural that I won’t help Jiang Minglang.”

■■My indifference won’t affect my status as Jiang Jingchen’s wife. Why should I do something so thankless?”

Jiang Jingchen listened to Tang Beibei’s honest response and smiled.

Her words were direct and didn’t have the sugarcoating people often apply. She just called a spade a spade..
