had been working to secure a partnership with the Ho Group, and Mr. Ho himself had hinted at a cooperation intention before today. How come he suddenly changed his mind"Are you questioning me" The lig..."Toward, late." He Hanchuan clenched her chin, but when he saw the mark he had pinched on her jaw, his hand involuntarily loosened.

Their breaths intertwined, their voices close enough that their lips brushed when they spoke. The air crackled with unspoken tension, yet neither of them met the other's gaze with any hint of romantic longing.

Two years ago, the day before your birthday, I went to the Jiang family and went upstairs. I stood in the room opposite Jiang Qifeng. Heganchuan interrupted her directly, his eyes dark and unclear, his breathing slightly faster than usual, "So, you don't remember anything!"

Some images flashed through A-Wan's mind, her pupils constricted, her body stiffened slightly, and her heart was a little flustered, so much so that she didn't notice the hand holding her chin trembling.

No wonder He Hanchuan didn't seem to like Jiang Qingran that much, yet he repeatedly humiliated and tormented her for her; no wonder He Hanchuan suddenly changed his attitude towards her at the birthday banquet!

She only thought that He Hanchuan liked Jiang Qingran, and she broke Jiang Qingran's leg, so he would break her leg and frantically humiliate her... As a result, it turned out to be because of this.

Anger, unwillingness, helplessness, and hatred surged through Xiangwan's limbs, almost shattering her heart!

She gave him a cold look and scoffed, "I thought Mr. He was shrewd, it turns out..."

Bang!

The hospital door was suddenly kicked open, and Jiang's mother stormed in with a furious expression. Upon seeing He Hanchuan and Xiang Wan in an ambiguous posture, she was taken aback at first, then her face flushed red with anger as she strode forward, raising her hand to slap Xiang Wan.

Towards the evening, a hand without emotion was raised by a towards attempt to prevent Jiangmu's actions. However, a well-defined hand beat her to it and did what she wanted to do.

As a senior, it's inappropriate for you to do this," He Hanchuan tugged at his lips, a chill radiating from his brows and eyes. "You should learn how to behave properly from Qingran."

Towards the end, she drooped her eyes and let out a meaningless sneer, then took a few steps back to create distance between herself and the two.

"Hanchuan, you're actually still protecting this little slut You..." Jiang's mother looked at him incredulously and questioned him loudly.

He Hanchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice carrying a hint of coldness. "Auntie Lin should be more careful with her words."

"Since you're getting engaged to Qingran, why is Xiangwan still clinging onto you What else could she be but a troublemaker!" Jiang's mother pointed at Xiangwan, her face contorted with undisguised disgust and hatred.

She didn't even give Hoshikawa and Ina a chance to speak. She spoke rapidly, accusing Ina, "No wonder you suddenly said you were going to treat Ina. Didn't this little flirt recently get close to you That's why you wanted to heal her leg!"

"One's disrespectful to elders, the other's a shrew yelling in the street. This Lin family, a hundred-year-old scholarly lineage, is truly eye-opening." Xiang Wan scoffed and stepped forward, looking down at her, and said slowly, "I want to treat my leg, I will treat it; I don't want to treat it, I won't. When did Mrs. Jiang have the right to say three things and four things"

He Hanchuan gazed at Xiang Wan, his eyes gradually becoming deep and profound. She had some resemblance to her former self, but there was also a difference. This was all because of...

His Adam's apple bobbed, his heart ached, and his fingers trembled slightly. He couldn't tell if it was hate or...liking for her that overwhelmed him more.

Jiang Mu couldn't believe that she was being criticized by Xiang Wan. She pointed at Xiang Wan, her finger almost touching the latter's nose, "You..."

"To be frank, Madam Jiang, please don't get angry. Anger is bad for your health." Xiangwan curled the corner of her lips, but her eyes held no mirth whatsoever.

"Neither you nor anyone from the Jiang family are gods or ancient emperors, so you have no control over my life and death. You also have no right to interfere with my decisions or tell me what to do."

Hearing this, Mother Jiang gasped in anger, her finger extending a few more inches forward, "向晚, you...you...you little..."

"Little wretch" Xiang Wan interrupted her with a smile, "Mrs. Jiang, you come from a scholarly family after all. Your vocabulary could be more elegant and varied. You keep repeating the same few words over and over again; I've had enough to develop calluses on my ears."

As she spoke, she grabbed Jiang Mu's finger and forcefully pressed it down.

"A-wan, remember this: you're not a child anymore. If you cross me, don't expect any good consequences!" Jiang's mother snorted heavily, her face ashen.

"Mrs. Jiang, your words are truly amusing. You didn't offer me any good fruit even when I wasn't offending you."

"I warn you, don't get too arrogant!!!" Jiang Mu was already accustomed to Xiang Wan's low-profile demeanor recently. Suddenly being spoken back to like this, she was furious.

"I advise you to pray that some things don't come to light," said A-wei softly.

"Hanchuan, you better watch closely: This murderer is so brazen, her heart is black as night. Are you still going to let someone treat her leg!" Jiang Mu's face had gone from iron-grey to beet red, her breathing coming out in heavy gasps because of her anger.

"What I do doesn't need to be reported to Aunt Lin." He Hanchuan frowned slightly at her words, then said, "Aunt Lin, please go back."

Jiang Mu glanced at Xiang Wan, who was coldly watching her from the side. Feeling unwilling to just leave like this, she roared, "Han Chuan, I'll ask you one more time, are you really going to do this!"

Knock, knock!

Someone knocked on the door and then pushed it open, frowning and saying, “This is a hospital ward. Keep your voices down, please. Some manners wouldn't hurt.”

is the head nurse.

After that, she glared at Mother Jiang and left, slamming the door behind her.

Jiang Mu was first scolded by Xiang Wan and He Hanchuan for a long time. Now she was scolded by a little head nurse again, and she was almost furious! She pointed at He Hanchuan, then at Xiang Wan, and after a long pause, she finally said, "Hanchuan, what you did is really too much! I'll go back and have Qingran break off the engagement with you!"

"Aunt Lin might have gotten something mixed up. I'm not engaged to Qingran, and there was never a broken engagement." He Hanchuan said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother's face flushed through a spectrum of colors – red, then blue, then white, like an overturned palette of paints.

"And, if Aunt Lin could help Qingran give up on marrying into the He family, I would be overjoyed." He Hanchuan smoothed a nonexistent wrinkle on his chest and said with a smirk.

Jiang Mu looked at him, then at Wan, pointed at the two of them with her finger, sneered, and slammed the door shut with a bang before leaving.

The moment the door closed, only He Hanchuan and Xiang Wan remained in the ward.

Ge Hanchuan lightly tapped his right trouser leg with his hand, his drooping eyelashes trembling slightly. He looked at her with a raised head and said, "No one's here, say it."
