Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1245 - 1244: Stealing a Moment Amidst the Busyness

"And the floor of the hospital is slippery. If you accidentally fall, no one will help you, as everyone is busy here. Anyway, the patient’s condition has stabilized and might be out soon. Please wait nearby for a while."

Jiang Na appreciated the nurse’s kind words and hurriedly nodded: "Thank you, nurse. I understand. I’ll be more careful next time. I’m really sorry for causing trouble in your work."

As the nurse was about to leave, she suddenly noticed Jiang Na’s face and her eyes lit up. Wasn’t this Jiang Na the celebrity from TV? And didn’t people say she was arrogant? But in reality, she was quite polite.

"Hurry up, the director over there is still waiting for our response. What are you dawdling here for?"

The nurse in front said harshly, and the round-faced nurse could only look at Jiang Na regretfully. She wanted an autograph, but it seemed there was no opportunity now. She hoped Jiang Na would still be here when she returned.

Jiang Na breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Seeing how busy the nurses were, she didn’t want to disturb them and casually found a place to sit down.

Originally, Jiang Na could have arrived earlier, but she encountered an unexpected situation on the way, including a flat tire, so getting there took some time.

"Nana, it’s good that the person is okay now. Just sit here and rest for a bit. You’re not looking good at all, and there are many reporters around. If they catch a picture of you, they’ll probably think something happened again, and it’ll be tomorrow’s headline."

The assistant quickly took out Jiang Na’s makeup kit, found her a spot, and urged her to touch up, but Jiang Na was in no mood for that and closed the makeup case.

She said weakly, "We can’t stop the media from talking; let them say what they want. Besides, I already ran into quite a few media earlier. Right now, I’m really not in the mood. My good friend is lying inside. How do you expect me to do makeup? Let people say whatever they want."

Seeing Jiang Na like this, the assistant packed the makeup kit away. Indeed, Jiang Na was in a bad mood, and she decided not to add to her troubles.

"Alright then, take a moment to rest here."

After the assistant left, Jiang Na sighed. As her assistant said, she was a celebrity and should care about her image.

But she really couldn’t care right now. The assistant would likely be disappointed, she thought, tugging at the corners of her mouth in self-mockery. Jiang Na knew her assistant was very responsible—too responsible.

Sometimes, Jiang Na just didn’t want to live her life according to her assistant’s ways, as it felt suffocating.

The assistant was particularly frustrated at the moment. She paid great attention to details in many things, but Jiang Na was always reluctant, even subtly rejecting them. How was she supposed to handle her star client?

Thinking about this, she glanced out the window and saw Old Master Xiao and Xiao Zhen immediately.

Oh right, how could she forget? After such an incident, Xiao Zhen and Old Master Xiao must be at the scene.

Jiang Na was leaning back in her chair, exhausted. After the assistant returned, she tried to compose herself and barely managed a smile.

"Nana, when I went out earlier, I think I saw Old Master Xiao and Xiao Zhen here. Should you go and talk to them?"

The assistant knew that given Jiang Na’s status, she must know Old Master Xiao. Hearing this, Jiang Na’s eyes lit up.

"Sure, I’ll go ask them now. Come with me."

After speaking, Jiang Na led the assistant over to Old Master Xiao. Seeing his graying hair, Jiang Na sighed. Perhaps only Old Master Xiao from the Xiao Family truly cared for her good friend?

"Grandpa Xiao, why are you here too? I asked the nurse earlier, and Yiyi is stable now. Why don’t you rest a bit? I’ll wait here for Yiyi."

When he saw it was Jiang Na, Old Master Xiao managed a smile. Jiang Na had grown up with his granddaughter, and he found her lively and adorable.

"You little girl. Ever since you became a big star, Grandpa hasn’t seen you for a long time. Didn’t expect to run into you today. Are you here for Yiyi? It must be taking up your time. If you’re busy, go ahead and leave; Grandpa will stay here."

Old Master Xiao spoke with genuine affection, knowing how busy the entertainment industry was with its non-stop engagements. He was truly moved that the young girl found time to visit.

Meanwhile, Jiang Na, upon hearing this, felt a warmth in her nose. Old Master Xiao indeed treated her like a real granddaughter.

"Grandpa Xiao, there’s nothing at my company. I’m just really worried about Yiyi, so I came. Don’t feel burdened, and believe that Yiyi will be okay."

Seeing this child boost his spirits, Old Master Xiao felt somewhat better. This young girl always managed to bring pleasant surprises.

The assistant finally smiled too. While Jiang Na wasn’t biologically the old man’s granddaughter, her cuteness and efforts to keep him happy from a young age meant she had a good relationship with him. After Jiang Na’s reassurance, the assistant also felt more at ease.

"Miss Jiang Na, you finally arrived. The old man has been talking about you. But, Miss, she’s alright now, probably just getting a blood transfusion. She’ll be out soon, so don’t worry."

Jiang Na nodded gratefully, gazing towards the entrance of the emergency room, the doors still tightly shut with the rescue ongoing.

Just as Jiang Na was about to refocus her attention, she saw Xiao Zhen keeping vigil at the door, pursing her lips. According to what Yiyi said, Xiao Zhen did love her.

But some things were beyond their understanding as children. So, Yiyi often spoke on behalf of Xiao Zhen.

Yet Jiang Na didn’t agree at all. She thought that if Xiao Zhen truly loved Yiyi, he wouldn’t have married another woman; hence, whenever Xiao Keyi praised her father, Jiang Na was particularly dismissive.

"It’s just that your grandpa is the best to you. That father of yours is no better than a stranger, always hurting you. I’ve seen you secretly crying outside so many times. Stop denying it. An indifferent parent is no different from having none at all, so stop getting upset over that so-called father."
