Chapter 645: Why Isn’t She Apologizing First?
Hearing Jiang Yiqian’s words, someone beside her couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t that treatment s.h.i.+ Jin’s? Why did I hear from my grandfather that s.h.i.+ Jin was the one who suggested it? The doctor proved it too. Back then, many people praised her.”
“That’s not true at all, okay? Don’t you guys know that she has a friend who’s a doctor? That doctor was the one who performed my grandfather’s surgery back then? How could s.h.i.+ Jin be so shameless to use her friend’s belongings as her own!” Jiang Yiqian pouted.
“I see.”
“s.h.i.+ Jin really likes to flatter herself.”
“That’s right. In order to be worthy of Master Fu, one naturally needs to have something on their face to be able to do it.”
“I originally thought that she really had something, but it seems like she was just boasting.”
The people around them started whispering.
Qin Fanya held her wine cup and remained silent, but she agreed with these discussions.
Then, everyone started talking about Qin Fanya. “Even if s.h.i.+ Jin really came up with that treatment method, it’s nothing much. What Fanya is researching now is human genetic engineering, the light of the future of human technology!”
“That’s right. How can those old things s.h.i.+ Jin is studying be compared to Fanya?”
“That’s right! Fanya, you’re going to come up with another world-shaking research project this time, aren’t you? I heard that you’re going to use Traditional Chinese Medicine to a.s.sist international big names in research. This is really amazing. Can you share it with us?”
Jiang Yiqian waved her hand. “What are you guys trying to find out? This is a highly confidential study. Even if it’s not confidential, what can you guys understand even if Fanya tells you? If you want to learn any medical skills, go learn from s.h.i.+ Jin!”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Jiang Ning walked over with a gla.s.s of red wine in her hand. There were many people around her.
As the heiress of the Jiang Family, Jiang Ning’s status could not be compared to someone irrelevant like Jiang Yiqian.
Her arrogant att.i.tude made Jiang Yiqian’s eyes turn red. She stood up and said, “We were just talking about s.h.i.+ Jin and Fanya. We didn’t get in your way, did we?”
“Continue then. I want to know what it is!” Jiang Ning walked over with a smile on her face.
Jiang Yiqian said loudly, “I said that s.h.i.+ Jin was fis.h.i.+ng for fame and used her friends’ stuff as her own. She even bragged about it to everyone in Hong Kong. Is there anything wrong with that? I also said that s.h.i.+ Jin’s research is nothing compared to Fanya’s.”
Just as she finished speaking, the red wine in Jiang Ning’s hand suddenly splashed onto her face, piercing into her eyes. Jiang Yiqian exclaimed, “Jiang Ning, what are you doing!”
“I can’t stand you, so I splashed wine on you.” Jiang Ning’s tone was still smiling. “Can’t I?”
“You!”
“Let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t spout nonsense if you don’t know anything. s.h.i.+ Jin’s treatment is her own. It doesn’t belong to anyone else, and it’s even more forbidden for you guys to gossip about it!”
Wiping the red wine off her face, Jiang Yiqian said awkwardly, “We’re just telling the truth!”
“Alright then, feel free to talk about it. Next time, don’t go looking for Doctor Zhu to impart the experience to your family!”
Instantly, many people stopped talking. These people more or less had a group of bodyguards at home. If they were injured, they naturally needed treatment.
They still had to rely on Doctor Zhu, and behind Doctor Zhu was s.h.i.+ Jin.
“Jiang Ning, you’re splas.h.i.+ng wine on me. Apologize to me!” Jiang Yiqian yelled in exasperation.
“You haven’t apologized to s.h.i.+ Jin for your nonsense.” Jiang Ning held the empty wine gla.s.s and looked calm.
“I’ll tell Grandpa!” Jiang Yiqian hollered angrily.
Jiang Ning crossed her arms and looked at her in amus.e.m.e.nt. “Grandfather? That’s my grandfather, not yours.”
Jiang Yiqian: “…”
Someone at the side stepped out to smooth things over. “Alright, Jiang Ning, we’re all brothers and sisters, so cut it out. Your behavior of splas.h.i.+ng wine is indeed not good. Apologize to Qianqian!”
Jiang Ning glanced at the person who spoke. It was Jiang Qingsong, her cousin. His father and her father were biological brothers, and he was much closer to her than Jiang Yiqian was. However, in the two generations of the Jiang family’s younger generation, there wasn’t a single person who could do anything. They couldn’t manage company affairs, but they were quite good at minding other people’s business.
“Why doesn’t she apologize first?” Jiang Ning said coldly.
“At the very least, her words didn’t cause any real harm. You splas.h.i.+ng wine on her is different.” Jiang Qingsong stood up, putting on what he thought was a fair att.i.tude.
“Ha, that’s funny. To spread rumors about others in public and spout nonsense, isn’t that considered harmful? Then if I call you trash, that’s not harmful either?” Jiang Ning asked.
Jiang Qingsong was so angry that his face turned green. The two generations of the Jiang family were not very good. Everything was handled by Old Master Jiang alone, and he, Jiang Qingsong, was considered the worst of the worst. The people outside secretly called him trash behind his back. Therefore, Old Master Jiang and Old Madam Jiang would rather pamper Jiang Ning alone than give him a chance.
Now that Old Master Jiang’s condition had improved, Jiang Ning was the first to take over the management of the company. As a man of the family, he was actually inferior to his female cousin.
He was already upset with Jiang Ning, and he had indeed sided with Jiang Yiqian. Now that Jiang Ning had called him trash, how could he not be angry?
“Jiang Ning, don’t go overboard!”
“How am I going overboard? Didn’t you say that words won’t cause any substantial harm? So what if I call you trash? Even trash can be considered a loving nickname.” Jiang Ning didn’t pamper him and said whatever hurt his heart.
Jiang Qingsong’s expression was so ugly that no one could look straight at him.
Qin Fanya saw that the cousins were causing such a huge ruckus and said calmly, “If you want to fight, go back and fight. Aren’t you embarra.s.sing your family in public?”
“What does that have to do with you?” Jiang Ning rolled her eyes at her.
Jiang Qingsong also realized that arguing with a woman in public was a very embarra.s.sing thing. He immediately shut up and turned to Jiang Yiqian. “Go and change your clothes. Stop arguing with Jiang Ning. You can’t win anyway.”
Jiang Ning said loudly to the crowd, “I’m not here to argue with you. I just want to say that if there’s no evidence, don’t talk nonsense and don’t talk too much about it. Everyone better believe the truth and not make up baseless rumors.”
Jiang Yiqian added, “Alright, since you’re so protective of s.h.i.+ Jin, I’d like to see what other tricks she has up her sleeves! Now that she’s bragging so much, don’t embarra.s.s yourself in the future!”
Everyone discussed for a while before dispersing.
Jiang Yiqian ran to the washroom to clean up.
