Chapter 415: Chapter 405: He Occupied the Moral High Ground

"Since you came here for this matter, you must have some connection with Elder Long, right? There aren’t many ways you could know Elder Long, Zhou Yaming is one. So, are you here to play a piano piece for Elder Long?"

Jiang Zhe quickly analyzed Jiang Fanyue’s current situation, intentions, and purpose in just a few words.

Jiang Fanyue was stunned, and it took her a moment to conceal her true emotions.

"No matter why I came here, Jiang Zhe, I hope you consider the consequences of this matter carefully."

"Let me guess, what piece did you play for Elder Long?"

Jiang Fanyue’s eyes widened in fear.

However, Jiang Zhe did not continue, as if her attention had been recaptured by the fruit, and she picked up a cherry again, eating it leisurely.

Jiang Fanyue’s heart, which had been held high in anxiety, slowly settled down; Jiang Zhe was just scaring her.

After all, how could Jiang Zhe possibly know what piece she had played?

Jiang Zhe spoke slowly and deliberately, "If you have ulterior motives and want to cling to power, don’t wrap your intentions in such a flawless and harmless package."

Jiang Fanyue fidgeted awkwardly with her fingers.

After finishing eating, Jiang Zhe suddenly hurled the cherry pits at Jiang Fanyue.

Jiang Fanyue was hit abruptly and jumped in fright.

"Get out, you’re ruining my mood for eating cherries."

Jiang Fanyue bit her lip and turned to leave.

When she went out, Jian Xiliang and Wen Xia’s car just happened to arrive.

"Uncle, aunt, what brings you here?" Jiang Fanyue asked in surprise.

"Didn’t you say you were coming to the hospital to see Enci? We thought we’d come take a look too. But your grandfather said there’s no need to go in, so we decided to pick you up afterwards and go out to eat together."

Jiang Fanyue immediately nodded.

During the meal, Jian Xiliang inquired about the recent events.

After listening, he commented, "Jiang Zhe doesn’t listen to advice at all?"

"She scolded me and sent me out," Fanyue said with her head down.

Jian Xiliang did not say anything.

Wen Xia consoled, "Let it be, she just has that kind of personality. This issue is too big; it’s not your fault that you can’t handle it, and no one will blame you."

"I really didn’t expect her to be like that. Uncle, aunt, I was originally thinking about introducing you to the Long family and getting to know them."

Jiang Fanyue said softly.

Connecting Jian Xiliang’s career with the Long family would certainly be smooth sailing.

The couple was moved and said, "We’ll talk to your grandfather about this again, let the old man step in and persuade Jiang Zhe."

Jiang Fanyue returned to school and reported the situation to Zhou Yaming in his office.

Zhou Yaming said, "Jiang Zhe’s temper is foul and stubborn; it’s normal that you couldn’t handle her. Forget it, I’ll work on Dr. Tang’s side."

Seeing Jiang Fanyue still somewhat dejected, he added, "Don’t be downhearted, go back and prepare your piece well. Cai Yasi’s side is about to start recording, and this time there will even be an MV shoot, and then your music will be presented to the whole country."

Jiang Fanyue suddenly remembered the pointed remark Jiang Zhe had made earlier today and felt an unreasoned worry surface in her heart.

But then she thought again, it was just scaring herself unnecessarily.

She said with a smile, "I understand, thank you, Professor Zhou."

Fan Yin, who was standing by, glanced indifferently at Jiang Fanyue when she heard Jiang Zhe’s name.

Jiang Fanyue lifted her chin and looked down at Fan Yin; she had not forgotten the public embarrassment Fan Yin had caused her before.

...

Jiang Zhe was somewhat surprised when she received a call from Fan Yin.

"Professor Fan?"

"Jiang Zhe, have you run into some trouble recently?"

Jiang Zhe immediately realized what this was about and didn’t expect Fan Yin to still show such concern for him.

He calmly said, "It’s nothing, just some minor issues."

"If you encounter any problems and need help, feel free to tell me," Fan Yin said with a smile.

"I will."

After Jiang Zhe hung up the phone, Qin Jingchen walked over; he was on the phone with someone else.

His phone calls had increased recently, and Jiang Zhe guessed that it must be because of Elder Long’s situation, drawing many people to him.

Although they didn’t dare to pressure him overtly, it was still a nuisance.

"Is Dr. Tang still attending to Tang Xinru?" Jiang Zhe asked.

"A father taking care of his daughter and neglecting his work, holding the moral high ground, he indeed has a firm grip on that," Qin Jingchen replied.

Jiang Zhe continued, "Haven’t you arranged for some other doctors for Elder Long?"

Knowing he couldn’t hide such matters from her, Qin Jingchen told her everything: "We’ve sent several doctors over, but Old Man Long is getting on in years and can be somewhat stubborn. Even though all the doctors who went over are leaders in their field, after seeing them, Elder Long always says he doesn’t feel much better and looks listless. Clearly, he only wants Dr. Tang."

Because of this, people from the Long family came to him repeatedly.

The calls from Lady Qin and other relevant personnel exploded.

"Since Elder Long holds such esteem, let’s pay him a visit tomorrow," Jiang Zhe suggested.

...

At the Long residence.

Elder Long, a man of great virtue and prestige, was still physically robust.

But the minor ailments and pains made him feel weak, and his household was on edge.

He barely ate a few bites of breakfast before he lost his appetite.

Persuasion from Long Feilie and Long Feiyan was futile.

The servants could only take him upstairs first.

Doctors came and went, but none could solve the predicament Elder Long currently faced.

Long Feiyan, in her early thirties and of a fiery temperament, said, "I’ll go bring Dr. Tang over right now!"

"Feiyan!" Long Feilie restrained her, "This time, Dr. Tang has already become arrogant due to favoritism. If we continue to indulge him, who knows how conceited he will become later."

"His concern for his daughter is understandable, though."

"Being concerned for his daughter is one thing, but I see he’s also relying on his years of contributions, wanting to assert his importance. Even without Tang Xinru’s incident, there would likely be a next time. Haven’t you heard? He’s now openly using Grandfather’s situation to build his own reputation."

Long Feiyan was not stupid; enlightened by Long Feilie’s words, she furrowed her brow immediately, "But there aren’t any other solutions right now."

"Let’s have Jiang Fanyue come over first and play some music to soothe Grandpa’s spirit," Long Feilie said.

Apart from Dr. Tang, it was Jiang Fanyue’s piano music that also seemed to benefit Elder Long’s health.

Dr. Tang was responsible for the physical care, while Jiang Fanyue tended to the spiritual care.

"Sir, Mr. Qin has arrived," the butler announced.

"Let him in," Long Feilie immediately responded.

Although he was a contemporary of Qin Jingchen and much older, Qin Jingchen’s status was nonetheless extraordinary.

Qin Jingchen’s personal visit showed the importance he attached to the matter.

The butler immediately went to invite the visitors in.

Meanwhile, Long Feiyan also made a phone call to Zhou Yaming.

Shortly after, Qin Jingchen and Jiang Zhe entered together from outside.
