Supper Baby

008 Throw Him Out !

Upon learning that Tan Mo was the pot-thrower, Jiang Tingfang's gaze sharpened.

Her cousin was on good terms with Yuan Xing, so naturally she'd extend some courtesy to this young lady connected to that rich young master.

"Fine. For your sake, I'll hear her out."

She crossed her legs, hands resting on her knees, exuding queenly authority.

Tan Mo had already prepared her explanation when she learned who Huaisheng was taking her to see. Now she simply recited the words she'd organized.

"My little sister took me to the lounge to rest, but after drinking some tea, she fainted. I went to find help, but as soon as I opened the door, I saw a strange man.

The moment he saw me, he lunged. He'd locked the door, and I couldn't outrun him, so I went to the balcony to find a way to call for help. Throwing the pot was the only way to get attention."

She bowed to Jiang Tingfang in apology. "I'm sorry, Miss Jiang. I deeply apologize for ruining your birthday."

Jiang Tingfang didn't look at her. Instead, she asked Huaisheng, "Dr. , what was the situation when you went up?"

She wouldn't take Tan Mo's word alone—she preferred multiple perspectives.

At the time, everyone had been looking up to find the pot-thrower, herself included.

And her eyes had caught the moment Huaisheng leaped onto the balcony with incredible agility, reaching the spot in an instant.

Huaisheng nodded. "Yes. When I jumped up, I overheard that man telling her something like 'Scream all you want, no one's coming to save you.' Luckily, I arrived in time, so neither of the Tan sisters was harmed."

After getting a general understanding of the situation, Jiang Tingfang reviewed the second-floor lobby surveillance footage and confirmed the identity of the man who had entered the room. Only then did she turn to Tan Mo.

"Miss Tan, I believe it is our Jiang family that owes you an apology. If not for Dr. Huaisheng's timely intervention, you could have been in serious danger." She rose and offered Tan Mo a sincere apology.

The Jiang family's butler, Uncle Tang, entered carrying a card on a tray and handed it to Jiang Tingfang.

"This is a super-VIP annual card for Lijing Xuan, one of our Jiangdong Group's establishments. Please accept it as a personal token of my apology." Her attitude was genuine.

The Jiang family was a leader in Jiangqi City's restaurant industry, owning multiple establishments. Lijing Xuan was their only members-only restaurant—without a VIP card and reservation, entry was impossible. The VIP card offered a 20% discount on all purchases plus access to exclusive events.

Such a card was hardly cheap, and Jiang Tingfang gave it away freely—a testament to her sincerity in making amends.

"Then thank you for your kindness, Miss Jiang." Tan Mo accepted the card.

Seeing her accept it, Jiang Tingfang turned to Huaisheng. "Dr. would you mind taking Miss Tan downstairs for a check-up? Just to make sure there are no other injuries. Is that alright?"

"Of course." Huaisheng agreed readily.

After seeing Tan Mo taken care of, Jiang Tingfang settled back into her chair and issued her orders. "Uncle Tang, take the security team and throw Pei Yan out. Notify the Pei family to come collect him. And do it conspicuously—let everyone know that from now on, I don't want to see him at any event attended by our Jiang family."

Pei Yan was being blacklisted by the Jiangs.

"Miss Jiang, thank you for your help. We'll be leaving now." Huaisheng led Tan Mo out.

Back in the main hall.

Xu Piao had sensed danger the moment the party was interrupted.

She tried contacting her daughter, but Tan Qi's phone remained unanswered, filling her with unease.

Just then, Jiang Tingfang approached her.

"Mrs. Tan, hello. Would you mind coming with me for a moment?"

"Of course." Xu Piao was slightly surprised.

With the birthday girl herself extending the invitation, she naturally couldn't refuse. If this opportunity could help her daughter connect with Jiang Tingfang, the future benefits would be plentiful.

But when she realized Jiang Tingfang was leading her to the Jiang family's temporary infirmary, her heart skipped a beat—a bad feeling crept in.

"Miss Jiang, what is this...?" Xu Piao's tension spiked.

She rushed into the medical room and found Tan Qi lying on the bed, receiving an IV drip.

"Qiqi!" She threw herself at the bedside, anxiously examining her daughter.

The Jiang family's private physician approached. "Don't worry, Mrs. Tan. The third young miss was given a mild sedative. She should wake up in a little while. Please don't be concerned."

"A sedative? Who dared to drug my daughter?" Xu Piao demanded urgently.

"Mrs. Tan, rest assured. Pei Yan, the one who administered the drug, has already been dealt with by our Jiang family." Jiang Tingfang patted her shoulder. "You should thank your second young miss. If not for her, the third young miss might have been in real danger."

In truth, she had reviewed the lounge surveillance footage and saw that Tan Qi had intended to drug Tan Mo. But for some reason, Tan Mo had chosen to conceal that fact.

"Is that so?" Xu Piao was taken aback.

She didn't believe for a moment that Tan Mo would help Tan Qi.

"Honestly, the situation was quite urgent. I think your second young miss is very brave—I truly admire her." Jiang Tingfang sat beside her, signaling closeness.

The Jiang family had good relations with the Yuan family in the capital, so naturally many people wanted to befriend Jiang Tingfang—the Tan family included.

This was a signal. She was telling Mrs. Tan that she wanted to be on good terms with Tan Mo. It was both a form of protection and a warning.

Anyone who messed with Tan Mo was messing with Jiang Tingfang.

Xu Piao understood this perfectly.

But she wasn't happy about it.

Why did Jiang Tingfang's favor fall on Wang Chuyan's daughter instead of her own?

"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay longer. Our physician will remain here to look after Miss Tan. Goodbye." Jiang Tingfang clicked away on her stiletto heels.

Meanwhile, Tan Mo had been led by Huaisheng to another lounge in the Jiang residence.

"Drink some warm water. Settle your nerves." Huaisheng casually poured her a cup.

Tan Mo held the cup and took a sip. It wasn't too hot.

"Dr. Su, is there something you want to tell me?"

"Mm. I wanted to ask you, little sister—was the hospital room you stayed in after the accident Room 823 at Jiangqi City First Hospital?" Huaisheng cut straight to the first question.

Hearing this, Tan Mo was startled.

Knowing about that room—could this be someone she knew from before?

"Yes. Do you know me?" Tan Mo nodded.

She, too, wanted to know what kind of person she was before losing her memory.

"Not me. A friend of mine knows you. I'm asking you this because I hope you'll give him a chance to meet you." Huaisheng pulled out her phone, opened a QR code contact, and handed it to her.

Tan Mo accepted the friend request. "Alright. I'll definitely visit someday."

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask you. During this time, have you noticed anything unusual about your body? For example, have you discovered that you have... abilities different from ordinary people, like superpowers?"

Different from ordinary people—could she mean the ability to overhear phone conversations?

But how could Huaisheng know about that? Could it be that she wasn't the only one in the world with such an ability?
