CHAPTER 408: CHAPTER 381 REFUSAL TO COOPERATE

Jiang Yongheng slowly opened his eyes, his vision a blur.

He felt dizzy and there was a ringing in his ears. As the calls rang out, his consciousness gradually became clear.

"Yongxing, you all... have come."

Jiang Yongxing tightly held Jiang Yongheng’s hand, tears blurring his vision. He said with a trembling voice, "Brother, you finally woke up, oh, after so many hours, it’s good that you’re awake!"

"Where is Kede? Where is he?"

Although Jiang Yongheng’s breathing was a bit rapid and his voice soft, he was clear in his mind.

At this moment, his greatest concern was his only son, Jian Kede, fearing that he would act rashly and cause further troubles.

Little did he know, the person was already in detention.

Jiang Yongxing was slightly taken aback, a forced smile crossing his face, "Kede has gone to the company, this child... it’s hard on him too. Brother, how do you feel? Any discomfort?"

Jiang Yongheng took a deep breath and said gently, "Just a little dizzy, nothing serious."

That was a relief!

Jiang Yongxing relaxed, gripping Jiang Yongheng’s hand tightly, and said with determination, "Brother, once you’re a bit better, we’ll work together to restore our family’s glory. For now, you need to rest well. Leave the rest to us to handle, don’t worry, it’s nothing serious."

Jiang Yongheng felt his brother’s steadfast support and was comforted.

He deeply believed that no matter how many difficulties and misfortunes the Jiang Family faced, as long as the family bond remained strong, there was still a chance.

The hospital room was filled with the warmth of familial love.

The emotions of several distant relatives around him changed rapidly the moment Jiang Yongheng woke up—there was surprise, concern, and a bit of sympathy.

Of course, there was also some helplessness and anxiety, as the group’s debt issues were still unresolved.

"It’s good that you’re awake, there’s nothing to worry about now!"

"Yes, yes, yes, how about it, do you want some water? You’ve been asleep for hours since yesterday."

"Should we adjust the bed a bit?"

People chattered back and forth, some fetching water, others seeking medical help, as Jiang Yongheng watched, tears streaming down his face, a warm feeling in his heart.

Soon, medical staff arrived at the hospital room.

They asked gently about Jiang Yongheng’s feelings and hearing, tapped lightly on several parts of his body, and checked his breathing carefully.

Jiang Yongheng cooperated with the medical staff, moving as instructed and answering each question carefully. He knew well that the key to a swift recovery was professional treatment and managing his emotions.

All grief had to be temporarily set aside.

Meanwhile, other family members quietly waited in the rest area. Some felt relieved, hoping for Jiang Yongheng’s speedy recovery; some were intrigued by Jiang Yongli’s suggestions; others just wanted to go home as soon as possible.

Though their reactions varied, after yesterday, everyone felt the fragility of life and realized that nothing was more important than health and life, emphasizing the importance of cherishing life.

After the medical staff left, Jiang Yongheng noticed that his sister, Jiang Yongli, whom he had once ostracized and neglected, had also come to visit.

Feeling a bit guilty, Jiang Yongheng smiled and said, "Yongli, is that you?"

Jiang Yongli responded indifferently, "Yes."

She didn’t want to utter consoling platitudes and didn’t know what to say.

She resented Jiang Yongheng but also pitied him, given that his wife had passed away, his niece Ke Xin had left, and Kede was still locked up in detention.

So much had happened to their family in one day; it was too much for anyone to bear.

Feeling the atmosphere becoming awkward, Jiang Yongheng spoke again, "Yongli, about the past... it was my fault for making things difficult for you. After our parents passed away, I shouldn’t have doubted you, leaving you to drift alone for so many years, it wasn’t easy, I know."

Jiang Yongli remained silent, her head gently shaking, but her nose felt sore.

She had never thought of fighting her brothers for the inheritance; it was just a little more favoritism from the parents because she did well in her studies, which led to discord among the siblings, her brothers always opposing her.

These years, it had been hard for her alone, struggling outside. It was bad enough that Jiang Yongheng didn’t help, but he competed with her for clients and resources.

Jiang Yongheng knew that his apology couldn’t solve everything, so he said, choking up, "Yongli, your sister-in-law is no longer with us, and Kede is too reckless... you’ll need to take more care in the future. We are a family, let’s put the past behind us, okay?"
