Fleeting Fortune: A Pampered Life

Chapter 471: 301 operations are so tricky, you can never imagine (3 updates) "How to get married is one thing, but how to divorce?" In ordinary circumstances, Jiang Jinsang wouldn't allow himself to be at a disadvantage, but his body wouldn't permit it. The slightest bit of anger made his abdominal wound hurt. Besides, he'd been in a good mood lately, so he couldn't be bothered to squabble with them. It was normal for them to trade insults.

Getting angry was harmful to one's health and would only give someone a good laugh, which wasn't worth it. Jiang Chengsi sat to one side, peeling a tangerine while smiling, "Are the second brother and sister-in-law not here today?" "Shen Shuci is coming over, they've gone to the airport to pick her up." Jiang Jinsang wasn't a three-year-old child. He was recovering well and was also in the hospital, so there was no need to be attended to 24 hours a day.

"Shen Shuci... you even used her full name. Dare you call her 'Auntie'?" Jiang Chengsi laughed, "Isn't she a bit younger than the sister-in-law? People online are saying Xie Duo's situation is tragic, having to call the second brother 'uncle.' It looks like you're about there too, soon having to respect a young girl as your elder." Jinsang smirked, “If I call her 'Auntie,' according to our family's ranking, don't you have to call her 'Auntie' too? You think you can avoid it?" With Jiang Yanting having left, Jiang Jinsang switched his bantering target. This state was normal for the Jiang brothers. Someone sat quietly on the side, drinking water, used to the routine. Legs crossed, they watched the show in silence...

"How's it going over there recently?" Jinsang suddenly changed the subject, looking at Chengsi and naturally referring to Jiang Zhaolin's situation.

Chengsi, peeling his tangerine, simply answered, "Not bad." But in reality, how could Jiang Zhaolin's situation be good? He fancied himself clever, but he was grounded by his junior, Jiang Jinsang, in front of so many people at the company. He was extremely proud and had already been humbled by Jiang Shiyi when he suddenly suffered an aneurysm. Though he was saved, his mind wasn't right anymore.

Barely regaining snormalcy and refusing to cooperate with treatment, the doctor bluntly said, "The aneurysm was indeed caused by acute anger. If you don't care for your own body, we are not responsible for any future paralysis or sudden death." He did cherish his life, so he quieted down, but it seemed as though he had aged all at once.

Even to his wife, who was looking after him, he said bitterly, "You must be happy to seelying here like this!” His usually compliant mother actually resisted, "I am quite happy, indeed." Jiang Zhaolin was almost angered to death. "Even you..." His son was unfilial, and now his wife was betraying him too.

"Ever since you joined the company, you've had so many social engagements. When was the last twe had a good meal together? Whenever I bring you meals, you say I'm only doing useless and unnecessary things. Instead, I should be spending the tto network with more ladies, which might help you... Sometimes I think about it, and it is quite pointless." "I know those assistants and secretaries who want to please you take very good care of you, but I just wanted to see you more." "Now I can see you every day, and I indeed feel happy." She smiled, "And don't always say your son is unfilial. All these years, how much effort have you put into them? You always scold Chengsi, calling him a rebellious son, but he still cback from abroad for your birthday last year, and you chased him away with curses again..." "Do you even remember when his birthday is? Feelings are mutual." "Since he left, all these years, do you even know how I, as a mother, have gotten through? Now that you are like this, if you still think about fighting and can't stay calm, maybe one day... we should just divorce." His mother spoke gently and softly, as if she had awakened him. Quiet now, he cooperated with the treatment and was well-behaved.

Chengsi would visit his mother, always feeling that with his father lying sick in bed, wasting away, his mother seemed increasingly happy, dressing up exceptionally beautifully every day.

Unable to hold back once, he said, "Mom, you've been dressing up really nicely lately."

"If he passes away, I'll also need to find myself a partner. I'm getting old, and if I don't dress up, no one will want me. You wouldn't mindfinding you a stepfather, would you?"

Chengsi had never spoken to Jiang Zhaolin, and with a sidelong glance, he saw him, burning with rage, his face ashen, neck stretching, and legs kicking, barely able to keep from passing out. “I don't mind.” He had already severed ties with Jiang Zhaolin, and didn't care about this.

This angered him so much he called him a rebellious son and told him to get lost.

"I'm here to see my mom. She hasn't said a word, what right do you have to tellto get lost?" Jiang Zhaolin was left fuming, unable to do anything.

So, when Jiang Jinsang asked him, he simply said: Not bad!

m "And cousin? How has he been lately?” Jinsang spoke up, interrupting Chengs's train of thought. Since he last saw Jiang Shiyi at the company over half a month ago, he hadn't seen him since.
