Chapter 781: Using The Incident To Break Off The Engagement
After the previous interrogation, the attending physician was already in a cloud of gloom, feeling that his future was bleak.
However, what he didn’t expect was that the Emperor would come to such a conclusion in the end!
Didn’t he already make it clear that this matter was a misunderstanding?
Why did he still have to involve the eldest daughter of the Siswell Family?!
Right now, the attending physician’s greatest wish was for this matter to be reduced to a small matter. If it was reduced to a small matter, it would be best if he could just pretend that it didn’t happen.
However, from the looks of it, the emperor’s intention seemed to be to cause more trouble?!
“Your Highness–”
The attending physician looked anxiously at the young man in front of him. His lips parted, and just as he was about to defend himself, he suddenly saw Jiang Xuecheng turn around and give him a cold glance.
The attending physician shivered and subconsciously felt a little afraid.
Not to mention that he had something in the other party’s hands, even if it wasn’t the case, just the iron-like relationship between superiors and subordinates was enough to crush someone to death.
The attending physician could only reluctantly shut his mouth and silently pray that these things wouldn’t implicate him.
Whether it was the high priest, the emperor, or the eldest daughter of the Siswell family, they were all figures that he could not carelessly provoke.
Yet today, he had suffered a setback here!
Director Fan was a shrewd person. Naturally, he could sense the subtle interaction between the attending physician and Jiang Xuecheng.
He had doubts in his heart, but it was not good for him to show them. He could only cough awkwardly.
“Your Highness, if this matter is related to miss Diya, how should we deal with it?”
When Jiang Xuecheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows calmly.
“Director Fan, this matter is a little complicated. You don’t have to worry about it. I will handle it. Tomorrow, I will personally ask Diya to come over.”
When he heard that this burden did not fall on him, Director Fan immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Lady Diya liked the emperor too much. Recently, she had even relied on the High Priest’s promise to officiate the engagement between her and the emperor. She could not wait to reveal her so-called “Fiancée” status at all times.
However, it was believed that anyone who did not have a discerning eye could see that the emperor was not satisfied with this forced engagement.
Perhaps, when the high priest returned, the three of them would sooner or later cause a huge ruckus.
This kind of complicated matter was the most difficult to deal with. Director Fan definitely did not want to get involved in this kind of muddy water.
…
After Jiang Xuecheng said that he would handle the venomous scorpion matter himself, Director Fan, the attending physician, and the medical staff quickly left Su Wan’s room.
Su Wan recalled the worry between the attending physician’s brows when Jiang Xuecheng first came in with the attending physician. She immediately felt that this matter was a little strange.
Su Wan thought for a second before speaking hesitantly to Jiang Xuecheng.
“Xuecheng, that venomous scorpion, was it really Diya who let it in?”
Jiang Xuecheng smiled faintly as he walked towards Su Wan. He could not help but reach out and stroke Su Wan’s black hair.
“I’m very sure that it wasn’t her.”
Even Jiang Xuecheng believed the attending physician’s earlier words. That venomous scorpion might really have accidentally crawled into Su Wan’s room.
However, this venomous scorpion could involve too many things, so he had to be extra careful.
…
Hearing Jiang Xuecheng’s certainty, Su Wan actually shivered.
Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng seriously. Seeing that the other party was still casually playing with her hair, Su Wan suddenly felt a little bitter in her heart.
“Jiang Xuecheng, although I don’t like that young lady, it’s not good for you to accuse her like this…”
Su Wan had been wronged before, and that kind of feeling was definitely not good.
Xuecheng had long expected Su Wan to have such a reaction. His Wan Wan was too soft-hearted, which was why she was easy to be used and even hurt.
In fact, sometimes he would rather Su Wan had a harder heart, but he could not bear to part with her pure and innocent heart.
In this world, it was always so difficult to have both.
However, with him by her side, he would try his best to protect Su Wan from harm.
Jiang Xuecheng’s phoenix-like eyes darkened. He reached out his hand and gently scratched the bridge of Su Wan’s nose.
“Wan Wan, what can I say to you when you’re like this? Do you still remember what Diya said during the day?”
Su Wan was stunned. She did not know why Jiang Xuecheng suddenly brought up this matter.
She carefully recalled what had happened during the day. Su Wan was not an idiot. She quickly grasped the main point of Jiang Xuecheng’s reminder.
Diya had previously arrogantly flaunted her engagement with Jiang Xuecheng.
Moreover, she had said that the high priest would be back in two weeks and would personally host the engagement ceremony between her and Jiang Xuecheng…
When Su Wan thought of this, her hand subconsciously trembled.
He fixed his gaze on Su Wan, and a faint light flashed across his eyes.
“You mean that we can use this venomous scorpion incident to cancel your engagement with Diya?”
Hearing Su Wan’s analysis, Jiang Xuecheng’s slightly curved thin lips curled up even more.
“Wan Wan, I realize that although you’re a little stupid, you’re not to the point of being incurable.”
Back on Earth, Su Wan was teased by Jiang Xuecheng from time to time. Although she knew that the other party had no ill intentions, Su Wan could not help but roll her eyes.
“Alright, alright, alright. You’re the smartest. Are you satisfied?”
“I’m the smartest, but I’m not old.”
Jiang Xuecheng shamelessly accepted Su Wan’s “compliment”. At the same time, he shamelessly praised himself that he was still young.
Su Wan could not help but roll her eyes again when she heard that.
Why could this guy even say such narcissistic words in such a serious manner as if it was really true!
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan grimacing, a trace of a low laugh leaked out from his throat. He could not help but reach out and pinch Su Wan’s cheek.
Hmm, it felt really good.
Even if this incident did not happen, he had to find an opportunity to let Diya understand his situation.
It was impossible for him to marry Diya.
From the beginning to the end, the only woman he loved was Su Wan.
It would be better for everyone if this matter was resolved as soon as possible.
When he thought of that rich young lady, Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes darkened and his expression became colder.
Moreover…
Based on the things that Diya had done to Su Wan in the past, it was definitely not an injustice for her to be labeled as such!
Regardless of whether it was the dress that Diya had hidden the needles in, or the fact that she had pushed Su Wan into the water, it was enough to make Jiang Xuecheng bear a grudge to the end.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Su Wan was fine and it wasn’t a good time to shed all pretense of cordiality with the Siswell family, Jiang Xuecheng would have already dealt with Diya in private!
…
When Su Wan saw the malicious look in Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes, she couldn’t help but frown.
She reached out and tugged on Jiang Xuecheng’s sleeve, asking carefully.
“Jiang Xuecheng, What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
After all, he had just been bitten by that venomous scorpion. Even if his wound was treated, it would still hurt more or less, right?
When Jiang Xuecheng saw the concerned look in Su Wan’s eyes, he felt a slight warmth in his heart. The fierce look in his eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by an unconcealable gentleness.
“Wan Wan, I’m fine. Didn’t you say you wanted to take a shower earlier? Why don’t we go now?”
