Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2497: 2433: I Accept Your Kindness

Meng Xinian cast a puzzled glance at Chiang Xiao.

He was aware that Chiang Xiao had struck Gao Wei.

Yet Chiang Xiao was skilled at moderating her force, so how could she have caused such a grave injury?

Paralysis?

No way.

Chiang Xiao subtly shook her head.

She understood perfectly that she hadn't left anyone paralyzed.

“If the doctors detected nothing wrong, then what's the deal with Gao Wei? Haven't they made him get up and take a few steps?” Chiang Xiao voiced her curiosity.

Director Wei replied, “They likely attempted it. They assisted him to his feet, the physicians examined his legs, and at first, it seemed fine; he managed to stand. But right after, Gao Wei cried out in pain and fell down, claiming his legs felt powerless and he couldn't support himself at all.”

Pfft.

Just what kind of stunt is Gao Wei attempting?

Is it possible he's dealing with a mental block?

He claims paralysis even though everything looks normal?

Exactly as I suspected. Since that thrashing, there's been silence from him, and now it turns out he's lingering in the hospital!

“And how is Gao Ming holding up these days?” Meng Xinian inquired.

“He's completely out of options. That's his sole cherished son,” Director Wei stated plainly.

Why didn't Chiang Xiao feel the slightest remorse?

Recall, Gao Wei intended to sabotage her tea house enterprise. Moreover, she merely applied a method to strike one of his pressure points; who could foresee he'd be so delicate that it triggered a nervous collapse?

In that scenario, perhaps she ought to have struck him more forcefully then and actually shattered his legs? She shouldn't have restrained herself from inflicting real damage, merely aiming to startle him a bit?

Alas, acting virtuously proves truly challenging.

“Has Gao Wei accused me of paralyzing him?” Chiang Xiao questioned straightforwardly.

Director Wei denied it with a head shake, “He hasn't uttered a thing; his mindset seems off, but a few of his foolish companions mentioned you pursuing him. Even though they missed the conclusion, I believe Gao Ming will point the finger at you regardless.”

“Does this fall under Director Wei's duties as well?”

“Why should it concern me? You believe I've got no other tasks? When rowdies stir up chaos and the proprietor drives them off, do you suppose that's my concern to manage?”

Director Wei let out a derisive snort.

Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao found themselves suppressing chuckles.

Director Wei truly stands out. His statements neatly outline the entire affair. From his viewpoint, Gao Wei sought to make trouble, and she simply repelled him; it's merely an everyday conflict.

Director Wei is quite the character, thoroughly entertaining.

“Director Wei, your insight is spot on.” Chiang Xiao promptly praised.

“Regarding that fellow Hu, I'll investigate his background. Should anything arise, I'll inform you. Xiao Chiang, stay vigilant about your safety in the coming days.”

He had straightforwardly conveyed it to her.

Chiang Xiao nodded, “Thank you, Director Wei.”

On this occasion, Director Wei had genuinely visited to aid her, delivering valuable details.

She appreciated his goodwill.

“Director Wei, even if you can't sample this tea right now, I've got half a tin remaining back home; would you care to take it and enjoy it daily?”

“In that case, I'll gladly accept.” Director Wei didn't turn it down.

Upon arriving home and unpacking the parcel from Chiang Xiao, he discovered the so-called 'partially used' tea was in fact a tin that had been unsealed but remained brimming with leaves.

He couldn't suppress a smile.
