Provocation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Zhang Huanhuan, that sl*ut!” Mrs. Zhang said angrily. “She’s really infuriating. Don’t you see she’s simply provoking me?”

Zhang Xun said, “Her goal is to anger you and Nuannuan, so you can’t be fooled by heer. You can be forgiven once, but what do you think will happen if you do it again?”

Mrs. Zhang was speechless.

Hearing her son say this, she felt a lingering fear.

“Mom,” he continued, “You have to stay calm for me and Nuannuan. Do you understand?”

“Alright, Mom knows.” she nodded.

He heaved a sigh of relief. If it weren’t for his mother and sister being useless teammates, he would’ve been able to control the company long ago.

Old Madam Zhang rushed to the hospital. Zhang Huanhuan was still in the emergency room, so Mr. Zhang was sitting on a chair in a daze. There were still a lot of blood stains on his shirt.

She gathered her emotions and let Mother Wang support her as she walked over.

“How is she?” she asked.

Mr. Zhang felt a little ironic when he heard his mother’s worried words. Was she afraid something would happen and affect Second Brother’s rise?

“Mom, why are you here?” He pretended to be surprised.

He thought his mother would definitely use a commanding tone to control Zhang Huanhuan’s mouth.

She sighed and pretended to be very guilty.

“Something so big happened, so I had to come and take a look. No matter what, Huanhuan is mine…” she said.

She deliberately admitted Huanhuan as her granddaughter. She knew that as long as she said so, she’d definitely get the result she wanted.

Mr. Zhang was stunned. His mother was acting differently from what he had expected. Not only did she not care about his second brother, but she also admitted Huanhuan’s identity. Was he dreaming?

He found this scene unreal, but he was still very touched. After all, having an affair in marriage and having an illegitimate daughter was very disgraceful.

“The situation is still uncertain. Let’s wait for now,” he replied.

“What a sin!” Old Madam Zhang sighed.

Mother Wang accompanied her in acting. She said,” Old Madam, don’t worry. Miss Huanhuan will be fine.”

Old Madam Zhang nodded. It was best if nothing happened. If something happened, it’d be over. Zhang Huanhuan, that sl*t, really inherited that mistress’s attitude.

About half an hour later, the doctor came out.

Old Madam Zhang and Mr. Zhang stood up together. He asked, “Doctor, how’s the patient inside?”

“Are you Zhang Huanhuan’s family members?” the doctor asked in confusion.

Yes, we are,” Mr. Zhang nodded without hesitation.

Old Madam Zhang was very dissatisfied, but she didn’t show it.

The doctor said, “I’m Doctor Cheng, Zhang Huanhuan’s attending doctor. You don’t have to worry since she’s doing fine.Zhang Huanhuan is fine. She only got a slight concussion, so her head is only slightly injured. It’s currently being stitched up.”

“Doctor Cheng, there won’t be any side effects, right?” Old Madam Zhang was as calm as water, but she was acting panicked on the surface. “Wouldn’t stitches disfigure one’s face? Doctor Cheng, you mustn’t leave her with a scar. A young lady can’t have a scar on her face!”

There were at least two benefits for Old Madam Zhang to say that.

Firstly, she’d seem like a good grandmother in front of the doctor.

Secondly, she wanted Mr. Zhang to think she cared a lot about Zhang Huanhuan.

Dr. Cheng said lightly, “There won’t be any side effects. As for scars, it depends on the person’s physique. They just need to eat more fresh fruits and focus on a light diet with high nutrition. Anyway, I still have something to do, so wait here for a while. The patient should be out soon.”

“Amitabha. Thank you, Dr. Cheng. We’ll take good care of the child,” Old Madam Zhang said gratefully.

“You’re too kind, Old Madam. This is my duty as a doctor.” Dr. Cheng nodded.

After saying that, he left quickly.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Huanhuan, who was wrapped in gauze and had a pale face, was sent out.

***

In the high-class ward, Mr. Zhang looked at his unconscious daughter and felt very sorry for her.

Old Madam Zhang looked at everything and felt very upset, but she didn’t show it at all.

She spoke up, “Son, Dr. Cheng said that Huanhuan is fine, so don’t worry.”

“Mom, I’m going to get a divorce,” He said with a ferocious expression.

She stood up and replied, “Come out with me for a while.”

“Huanhuan hasn’t woken up yet, so I can’t just leave,” he said in a repulsed manner.

She said, “It’s only in the corridor. Moreover, the nurse said it’ll take at least half an hour for her to wake up. Mother Wang will be here to watch over her.”
