Chapter 408: Chapter 408

"You all are too kind! Have some water, have some water!"

Jiang Honest wouldn’t take others’ words to heart.

"Master Jiang! Please accept these things. Jiang Lei may look young, but after a surgery, if he doesn’t recover well, there could be many problems. If you need anything, you can tell us! We’ll help if we can.

Speaking of which, I heard that Jiang Lei drives at the textile factory. This job isn’t bad, but being on the road all year round could lead to dangerous situations like today’s. How about I help Xiao Jiang get a new job?

Our hospital’s fleet needs a director. Xiao Jiang seems suitable for this job—it’s safer and less worrisome. The pay is the same, no less than the textile factory."

Wu Pingjing spoke up; he was in charge of the hospital’s administration, so placing a connection wouldn’t be an issue.

Besides, it was a legitimate transfer.

Jiang Lei was stunned—to become a director at the hospital.

"That’s not possible! I don’t know anything, nor do I know how to treat patients, how could I work at a hospital?"

Jiang Honest also pondered—they offered help to his family, and now even wanted to arrange a job. It seemed odd.

Was there something else?

"It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s not like they want you to be a doctor. The hospital has a fleet, not just ambulances but also many other vehicles that need management. You’d be the head of the transport team, dealing with vehicles, not patients.

Why are you afraid if you’re not treating patients?"

Wu Fei spoke without reservation.

Seeing Jiang Lei’s face turn pale, she hadn’t expected Jiang Xiaoxiao’s brother to be such a coward.

Born to the same parents as Jiang Xiaoxiao?

Oh, she forgot, he probably isn’t.

After all, Jiang Xiaoxiao is a child of the Fang family.

"Mr. Wu, Wu Fei, do you have something that you need our Xiaoxiao’s help with? Or do you need the Song family’s help? If there’s something, just say it. I, Jiang Honest, may not have other skills, but I can tell you are good people.

If there’s anything we can help with, feel free to ask, as long as it doesn’t go against our conscience, we will help. Jiang Lei’s job issue doesn’t need to trouble you."

Jiang Honest wasn’t foolish—asking his daughter to do favors without understanding the consequences could pull them back.

Jiang Lei immediately realized.

A windfall from the sky isn’t a good thing.

He shook his head, "Yeah, I really don’t need a new job! This job is great. No need! Really, no need."

He couldn’t let anyone have leverage that would trouble his sister and brother-in-law.

Wu Pingjing and Xu Meng were both surprised—they assumed these were ordinary people who would eagerly accept such good fortune, expecting Jiang Lei and Jiang Honest to happily agree.

This was a good thing.

Who would have thought they’d be so cautious?

Wu Pingjing smiled wryly; they were used to trading benefits for what they wanted.

Now they encountered sincere and clever people.

Xu Meng glanced at her husband’s expression and spoke calmly.

"Master Jiang, we indeed have something to ask Xiaoxiao for help with. To be honest, we offended your daughter, and now I have an urgent matter that only your daughter can assist with. We came to express goodwill, hoping Xiaoxiao will forgive us for our previous blindness and give us a chance.

Master Jiang, we just ask for forgiveness."

Xu Meng kept it brief; she heard Jiang Xiaoxiao’s mother was protective of her daughter and even sent Dean Feng packing. They didn’t dare say they were asking Jiang Xiaoxiao for medical help.

Afraid Jiang Honest wouldn’t agree.

Jiang Honest realized it was indeed related to his daughter.

"That’s easy to say, this kid doesn’t hold grudges. Our Xiaoxiao has a good temper and forgives quickly, don’t worry! I know my daughter; she’s soft-hearted and easy to talk to."

Are you talking about Jiang Xiaoxiao?

Are you sure you’re not mistaken?

Your Jiang Xiaoxiao is easygoing, has a good temper, and is soft-hearted?

I must have met a fake Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Wu Pingjing and Xu Meng kept smiling; it seemed Jiang Xiaoxiao had a good relationship with her parents and was greatly loved by them.

"Could you accompany us to see Xiaoxiao? We are afraid..."

Xu Meng wasn’t sure about Jiang Xiaoxiao’s temperament, but she didn’t want to be refused even if the chance was slim.

With Jiang Honest there, at least Jiang Xiaoxiao wouldn’t easily explode.

At least not drive them away immediately.

Jiang Honest nodded and stood up.

"Alright! I’ll go with you. Let’s go!"

They weren’t there for Jiang Lei, staying was just wasting time.

The four of them went to Jiang Xiaoxiao’s ward.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was having dumplings.

Fan Xiuying had just come in.

Seeing her daughter obediently lying in bed, she showed a satisfied smile.

Song Moting hadn’t woken up yet; the child had been too exhausted these days.

Fell asleep and couldn’t wake up.

Fan Xiuying had stewed chicken soup for five hours and made small dumplings for her daughter.

Golden egg slices, green scallions floating on top, and plump little dumplings, made one’s mouth water.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had initially used hunger as an excuse but was now genuinely hungry.

Fan Xiuying smiled, "Starved, huh? Alright, alright, let mom get it out for you to cool. These two other lunchboxes are for your dad and brother; I’ll take them over in a bit."

Lovingly serving her daughter a bowl and setting it aside.

At this moment Jiang Honest brought them in.

The four people came in with a buzz.

Fan Xiuying regained her thoughts, realizing Jiang Honest had brought guests.

But she didn’t recognize them.

Judging by their attire, they didn’t seem like ordinary people either.

She looked at Jiang Honest with a questioning gaze.

Jiang Honest smelled the dumplings, knowing the child’s mother had returned home specially to make them for Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Looking at Jiang Xiaoxiao’s face, which had thinned considerably, he felt heartache.

"Xiaoxiao, Comrade Wu and his wife came to see you; they heard they offended you. They came to apologize, having brought a large pile of things to your brother’s ward, including sea cucumbers, bird’s nests, ginseng, and deer antler.

You and Wu Fei are good friends, no matter what the reason is, don’t be too angry. Let’s talk things over, okay?"

Jiang Honest acted as the peacemaker but didn’t immediately tell Jiang Xiaoxiao to forgive them.

Because Wu Pingjing and the others wouldn’t say how they offended Jiang Xiaoxiao, Jiang Honest didn’t dare ask.

If they mistreated his daughter, Jiang Honest wouldn’t stand for it.

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at Wu Pingjing and Xu Meng—they came to apologize!

They even figured out how to find her third brother and father.

Another glance at Wu Fei and it was clear it was all her doing.

Wu Fei smiled as she stepped forward.

"Auntie, I’m Wu Fei, the one who was always around your house for meals a few days ago, you wouldn’t forget me, would you?"

Fan Xiuying naturally recognized Wu Fei; the kid claimed to be Jiang Xiaoxiao’s friend, frequently appearing at their house and pestering Jiang Xiaoxiao.

But she could tell what kind of kid Wu Fei was.

Straight-talking and straightforward, although her words were unpleasant, her heart wasn’t bad.

Fan Xiuying instinctively assumed the kids had quarrelled or had other issues.

She didn’t take it seriously.

"Auntie recognizes you, how could I not."

"Auntie, these are my uncle and aunt, we’re apologies today for offending Xiaoxiao. As you can see, I’ve personally brought them to apologize to Xiaoxiao. Please speak on our behalf; otherwise, just look at Xiaoxiao’s gaze, she’s about to eat me. I’m too scared to get close to her."

Wu Fei gave Jiang Xiaoxiao a pitiful glance.

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s gaze was cold, even carrying daggers sweeping towards Wu Fei.

Wu Fei was genuinely frightened.

Fan Xiuying glared at Jiang Xiaoxiao.

What kind of expression was this child showing?
