Chapter 599: 381 Spoiled Vitality Essence, Chased by the Whole Dog Family? (3 updates)
Spring water warmed in Beijing as temperatures rose, making the whole city lively. Two things concerning the Jiang Family were particularly eye-catching:
One was naturally the wedding of Jiang Yanting and Shen Zhixian. The couple had both a son and a daughter, and since Shen Zhixian was also an aunt from the Xie Family, it was said that the elder Xie had prepared a generous dowry for her, and even Xie Tongtong had returned to the country to help with the arrangements.
The other was a matter involving an intellectual property dispute at Tang Wan’s studio, where You Congrong’s fans had made a fuss, received no response, and were now holding their breath, ready to accuse publicly during the touring exhibition.
Some media, somehow getting wind of the news, reported that Tang Wan would also attend the exhibition, which surprised many.
The original creator and the alleged infringer attending the same event?
Was this audacity or sheer shamelessness?

At that moment, Jiang Jinsang was at the hospital, Zhou Zhongqing had just returned to the country last night, and Tang Wan had joined him for a meal at the Jiang Mansion. He brought many souvenirs, and almost everyone got something, Jiangjiang and Taotao even received some handmade chocolates, naturally making them even happier.
Tang Wan also indirectly inquired about Jiang Jinsang’s health. He simply smiled and said, "He has recovered very well. I just came back, it’s a good time to take him to the hospital, I’ll check him."
At the dining table, Zhou Zhongqing and Jiang Jinsang didn’t get along but still maintained superficial peace. However, Tang Wan knew both men well...
Their performance, forced smiles, clearly had elements of acting. Could they really be hiding something from him?
Tang Wan had previously arranged with Fan Mingyu to accompany her to the airport to pick someone up in the morning and couldn’t accompany him to the hospital.
"Wuge, why don’t you go for your hospital check-up in the afternoon? I’ll go with you then."
"There’s no need; I can go by myself. We’ll meet at uncle’s house at noon."
The person Fan Mingyu was going to pick up was Jiang Jinsang’s cousin, who had gone abroad for studies. Naturally, she was also returning for Jiang Yanting’s wedding.
Fan Mingjue and his wife were quite busy with work the next morning and unable to pick up from the airport. Since she was Fan Mingyu’s only niece, whom she adored dearly, she volunteered to go.
Therefore, early the next day, Tang Wan accompanied Fan Mingyu to pick up the guest, while Jiang Jinsang went to the hospital alone.
Just entering Zhou Zhongqing’s office, he knocked on the door, "Uncle Zhou—"
Zhou Zhongqing was examining some CT scans, his assistant stood by him, jotting something in a notebook. When he saw him enter, the assistant gave a reminder, but Zhou Zhongqing didn’t even lift his eyelids, only saying, "Come in and close the door."
Jiang Cuo and Jiang Jiu were naturally left standing outside.
"Dr. Zhou seems a bit off today, he wouldn’t do anything to our grandpa, would he? The atmosphere doesn’t feel right."
Jiang Jiu bluntly said, "When have they ever gotten along?"
Jiang Cuo was at a loss for words, as his statement indeed had no flaw. After all, when they were with Jiang Jinsang, Zhou Zhongqing was already treating him, and the two had indeed never gotten along.
After Jiang Jinsang entered the room, just as he was about to pull out a chair to sit down, he heard him say, "Go over to that bed, take off your clothes, I need to examine you."
The assistant hung his head, solely focusing on his notebook, clearly not daring to get involved in a battle of wits.
"..." Jiang Jinsang knew it was deliberate, "I didn’t have to take off my clothes for previous checks."
At most, it was just taking off an outer coat.
"Are you questioning my professionalism?" Zhou Zhongqing raised an eyebrow, "Or do you think I’m deliberately making this hard for you?"
Jiang Jinsang just smiled, not commenting, "Whether or not you are, you know best."
Zhou Zhongqing put down the CT scans he was holding, sizing him up from head to toe, "With just this bit of flesh on your body, which I’ve seen before, what’s there to look at?"
"..."
"Quickly, don’t waste my time, I’ve got a meeting to attend at the oncology department soon." Zhou Zhongqing was indeed feeling a bit stifled inside, but it wasn’t like he could actually start hitting or screaming. In fact, compared to Tang Wan, he cared more deeply for Jiang Jinsang. When he said it was hard, he was genuinely worried about his health.
His condition was unprecedented, and his recovery had been too rapid; he was afraid of any further complications, so asking him to undress was not just to trouble him.
But once he had undressed, Zhou Zhongqing saw sporadic nail marks and bite marks scattered across his body...
Jiang Jinsang wasn’t prone to scarring, but his skin was so pale that these marks were all the more stark.
If it were a stranger, it would be normal—deep emotions between a man and a woman often leave some marks. But his wife happened to be his own goddaughter...
That was somewhat awkward.
