Fang Lan indeed had many things she wanted to tell Sang Qianqian. However, with Shen Hanyu’s threat, she had no choice but to keep her words to herself.
Fortunately, she had already made preparations to settle for the second best option when she met Sang Qianqian today.
“I know what you want to ask me, Miss Sang. It’s related to Hanyu, right? Do you think that Hanyu’s att.i.tude toward you has changed a lot since you woke up?”
Fang Lan didn’t want to beat around the bush, so she went straight to the point the moment she saw Sang Qianqian. “To be honest, I don’t know what Hanyu is thinking, but I can tell you what I know.”
Fang Lan avoided the main point and did not mention any details about what had happened after Sang Qianqian had fainted.
She talked about how when Sang Qianqian was taken away by Ruan Cheng’s men and locked up in that abandoned mental hospital, Shen Hanyu had found out about her whereabouts and rushed there. However, there had been an explosion. At that time, Shen Hanyu had mistakenly thought that she had pa.s.sed away.
“Ruan Cheng used a woman who looked like you as bait to set up the explosion. At that time, Hanyu received a phone call from your father. It was a blessing in disguise. Thanks to the phone call, he was a little further away from the explosion, but the blast inevitably hurt Shen Hanyu.”
She continued, “When he was sent to the hospital, he was almost dead. There was bleeding in many organs and more than ten fractures. He was on the verge of death. It was a terrible sight. He stayed in the ICU for 11 days. Do you know how many critical condition notices the doctor gave him?”
Without waiting for Sang Qianqian to say anything, Fang Lan answered, “Seventeen times. At that time, Guo Muyang and I both thought that Hanyu was dead. We were both crying.”
“However, Hanyu made it through in the end, and even the doctor found it unbelievable. The first thing he did after he regained consciousness was to ask Guo Muyang to hold a press conference to announce his death.”
“In order to make Ruan Cheng let his guard down and believe that he’s dead, Hanyu kept it from everyone, including Uncle Shen. He even gave his position as Phoenix’s President to Guo Muyang. Even if I don’t say it, I’m sure you can guess who he’s doing this for and what his goal is.”
“But, Miss Sang, Hanyu was so sad that he lost you. He was tortured by the unbearable pain. In order to avenge you, he sat in front of his computer day and night, planning and executing one attack after another against the Ruan family. But what did you do?”
“You married Xie Shi’an. Your wedding with Xie Shi’an was known throughout the country. Although the Xie family didn’t announce your ident.i.ty, anyone who is familiar with you can tell that it was you in the wedding photo you took with Xie Shi’an.”
Fang Lan said a lot in one breath, and she had no intention of stopping. “Have you ever thought about how Hanyu felt at that time? In order to prevent all his previous plans from falling through, he couldn’t even stop this wedding. He couldn’t appear in front of you. He could only watch you marry Xie Shi’an and watch the woman he loved become someone else’s wife.”
“I don’t mean to blame Miss Sang. At that time, you had no choice and agreed to marry Xie Shi’an. I think you were forced. I’m telling you all this because I want you to know how much Hanyu loved you.”
Fang Lan looked at Sang Qianqian meaningfully. “If Miss Sang can’t return his love with the same amount of love, then at least, don’t doubt it. Otherwise, even I, an outsider, would feel sorry for Hanyu.”
Sang Qianqian only felt that it was a little difficult to breathe.
It was as if her heart was being pressed down by a huge rock, tightly contracting. A long and deep dull pain came, and it would not go away for a long time.
“I… don’t doubt him at all.”
She spoke with difficulty, “I just want to know if anything happened to Hanyu while I was unconscious.”
“You might have to ask Shen Hanyu that question.”
Fang Lan was forced to fulfill her promise to Shen Hanyu. “Other than what I told Miss Sang just now, I don’t know much more than you do,” she said, going against her will.
She had already said what she needed to say and had no intention of staying any longer. “Miss Sang, I’ve said everything I can. I’ll take my leave first. I still have to go back to the Zhen family, or I won’t be able to explain to my second uncle and Grandma Zhen.”
“Fang Lan,”
Sang Qianqian pulled her back, her face pale. “Can you take me to see Hanyu? I won’t enter the Zhen family’s residence, I’ll wait for him outside the door. Just tell him to come out for a while.”
