288 I Believe You
Shen Hanyu really didn’t want to answer, but Sang Qianqian was looking at him with a burning gaze, as if she wouldn’t stop until she got to the bottom of it.
His thin lips were tightly pursed as he slowly looked at Guo Muyang. His gaze was like a sharp blade, as if he was going to cut him into pieces.
Guo Muyang felt a shiver run down his spine. He knew that the situation wasn’t right. After all, he was the one who caused the problem, so it was better for him to clean it up.
“Miss Sang,”
“You’ve misunderstood. That’s not what I meant,” Guo Muyang said vaguely.
“Then what did you mean?”
“The old lady tried a lot of ways to keep Hanyu alive.”
Guo Muyang was quick-witted and blurted out, “You didn’t know this, but the old lady was worried about Hanyu. She not only asked famous doctors from all over the country to treat Hanyu, but she also got all kinds of local antidotes for Hanyu to try. Hanyu couldn’t bear the pain anymore, so I told her that instead of doing all this, she should just try and induce Hanyu into having a child so his bloodline can go on…”
“President Guo, do you think I’m easy to fool?”
Sang Qianqian smiled. “When you and Shen Hanyu worked together to trick me and my family, didn’t you feel enough accomplishment? Now you’re trying to lie to me for the second time?”
Guo Muyang was speechless.
He couldn’t be blamed for what happened back then. He had no choice.
Sang Qianqian glanced at Shen Hanyu. He was still sitting there without a word, as if he had not heard her and Guo Muyang’s conversation.
Now she was really angry.
It was enough to lie to her once. However, to lie to her again was simply intolerable.
“Stop the car.”
Sang Qianqian said lightly, “Put me down by the side. I’ll take a taxi to the hospital.”
Guo Muyang knew that he was in big trouble this time. “Miss Sang, it’s late at night. It’s not safe for you to take a taxi alone…”
“That’s my business.”
Sang Qianqian’s face was tense. “Stop the car. Otherwise, I’ll…”
When she said this, she raised her hand and pressed on the door handle, as if she would pull the door open and jump out if the car did not stop.
Of course, it was only ‘as if’.
After being reincarnated, no one knew the value of life better than Sang Qianqian.
Of course, she would not do something so dangerous, but Shen Hanyu had gone too far and made her very angry.
He had hidden everything from her and even allowed Guo Muyang to come up with such an outrageous reason to trick her. After all that, he still acted so indifferent.
Did he think she was a fool?
The moment her hand touched the doork.n.o.b, Shen Hanyu’s expression changed. He pulled her into his arms at lightning speed.
His actions were so forceful that Sang Qianqian fell into his arms, her nose smacking heavily on his firm chest.
Shen Hanyu’s face was filled with anger. “Sang Qianqian, what are you trying to do? Is it fun to play with your own life?”
“It’s not fun. I’ve been asking you for the truth, but you just won’t answer.”
Sang Qianqian’s nose was so painful that tears started to well up in her eyes. She covered her nose and said in a m.u.f.fled voice, “You were the one who insisted on lying to me. It wasn’t enough to lie to me once, you wanted to lie to me a second time…”
She was half-lying in his arms and looked up at him. Her voice sounded like she was crying, and her eyes were full of tears. She was trying hard to hold them back, looking aggrieved and pitiful.
Shen Hanyu’s anger seemed to freeze, and he could no longer let it out.
“I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to overthink it.”
Shen Hanyu’s voice was filled with helplessness, but it had subconsciously softened. “My grandmother thought that my poison was incurable, so before I died, she wanted me to…”
Sang Qianqian sat up in a hurry. “What did she want you to do before you die?”
Shen Hanyu was silent for a few seconds. “Leave my bloodline.”
Sang Qianqian looked as if she had been struck by lightning and was stunned on the spot. “How, how did she do that?”
“She…”
Shen Hanyu’s expression was a little stiff and forbearing. It was obvious that he did not want to talk about this.
“She gave Hanyu some medicine, and then put a very pure and beautiful young girl in his room.”
Guo Muyang saw that he was in a difficult position to speak, so he said, “Luckily, I went to the capital to look for Hanyu at that time. I called him and found that his voice was not right, so I went to the Zhen family with Fang Lan. Luckily, we arrived in time. Otherwise, Hanyu’s child would’ve been a few months old by now.”
Thinking back to the time when he and Fang Lan had barged into the room, Guo Muyang wanted to laugh upon seeing Shen Hanyu’s sorry state.
He had known him for so long, but he had never seen him in such a situation. That incident could simply go down in history.
He said, “Because of this, Hanyu wanted to leave the Zhen family immediately. The old lady wiped her tears and admitted her mistake. She was so anxious that she fainted. Hanyu stayed after Fang Lan’s persuasion. After that, no matter what Hanyu said, the old lady would go along with him. She never mentioned anything about marriage and having children again.”
Sang Qianqian could understand Old Lady Zhen’s desire to leave his bloodline behind, but what kind of melodramatic method was this…
If Guo Muyang and Fang Lan had arrived a little later, and if Shen Hanyu had really had a child with that girl, she would not have had a chance with Shen Hanyu even if she had found the antidote…
Shen Hanyu felt nervous for no reason when he saw that she was lost in her thoughts.
He explained in a low voice, “Nothing happened that night. Believe me, I…”
“I believe you. You don’t have to explain.”
Sang Qianqian was still a little scared. She reached out and hugged him gently. Then, she realized something and quickly let go. “Just don’t lie to me next time.”
She was really scared of his lies.
The unexpected hug came and left quickly. Shen Hanyu’s body stiffened, and then his heart softened.
He looked at the girl and said gently, “I won’t lie to you in the future.”
There was a strange gentleness in his dark eyes. Sang Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat as she hurriedly turned her head to look at the night view outside the window.
She wondered if she had been too optimistic about Shen Hanyu’s situation this afternoon, when she thought that she could last three weeks.
Alas, she felt that it would only take a few days for Shen Hanyu to completely melt her heart.
—
When the car arrived at the hospital, Shen Hanyu walked her out of the car. Guo Muyang followed behind, obviously wanting to go up with her.
“You guys should go back first.”
Sang Qianqian thought for a moment. “My father and brother might not want to see you. Besides, it’s too late at night now. They’re probably already asleep.”
When she was in a coma at the hospital, Shen Hanyu was nowhere to be found. Her brother had gone to Guo Muyang many times to ask him to contact Shen Hanyu, but he had refused to see him. As a result, the Sang family had a bad impression of him.
Now that her brother was injured, he must be in a bad mood. Her father was probably not in a good mood either. If he saw Shen Hanyu, he might treat him badly.
Although Shen Hanyu would meet her family eventually, it would be better to find another time.
Shen Hanyu did not insist. He sent Sang Qianqian to the hospital. “We’ll come visit another day.”
Worried about her brother, Sang Qianqian ran straight to the ward.
