Chapter 239
But after hearing these words, Shangguan Lan was not moved at all. Instead, he found them even more absurd and ridiculous.
The corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a mocking smile, and she asked coldly: "Zhao Han, at this point, do you still expect me to believe your nonsense?"
"I think the one you liked from the beginning to the end was Qiao Xin. You just have a responsibility to me." Shangguan Lan no longer had any extravagant hope that Zhao Han would like her, and she didn't dare to hope.
How far can you go in liking someone?
For Zhao Han, his love for Qiao Xin has gone beyond common sense and moral bottom line.
Even though he knew that she was sick and needed care, he was still able to be cruel enough to deceive her just to run away and meet Qiao Xin.
However, when their common daughter fell ill, Zhao Han couldn't even spare a moment to visit her, but instead stayed by Qiao Xin's side for 24 hours.
"Zhao Han, your liking makes me feel extremely disgusted!" Shangguan Lan's eyes were wide open, and tears fell uncontrollably, just splashing on his daughter's tender cheek.
Perhaps sensing his mother's sadness, the sleeping little Chang'an suddenly whispered, "Mom..."
Just these two short words exploded in Shangguan Lan's ears like thunder, instantly pulling her back to reality from her anger and despair.
She hurriedly hugged her daughter, patted her back gently, and hummed a lullaby softly, trying to let her daughter continue to sleep peacefully.
Zhao Han stood aside, staring blankly at the scene in front of him, feeling mixed emotions.
Shangguan Lan’s words just now were like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into his heart.
Could it be that she really no longer values my kindness and affection?
Thinking of this, Zhao Han felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife and was in unbearable pain.
However, despite this, he still shouted stubbornly: "Lan'er, I will not agree to divorce no matter what!" Before he finished speaking, he started the engine and sped away.
Zhao Han quickly returned home after speeding all the way.
It was almost dinner time, but the house was unusually quiet, with no sign of grandparents.
Until this moment, Shangguan Lan didn't understand that she had been deceived by Zhao Han! She looked up at Zhao Han, who was sitting at the dining table without a trace of guilt, and didn't understand what he was going to do now.
Zhao Han naturally also noticed Shangguan Lan's gaze, which contained no other emotion except disgust.
At this moment, the innocent Chang'an suddenly asked, and his innocent words made the atmosphere in the room even more solemn.
"Mom, where are Great Grandpa and Great Grandma? Dad clearly told me that I would be able to see them as soon as I get back!"
Chang'an blinked his big watery eyes, looked at his mother with confusion, and asked anxiously.
Mother Zhao smiled slightly, squatted down, gently touched Chang'an's little head, and coaxed softly: "Chang'an, do you really want to see your great-grandfather and great-grandma? Don't worry, baby."
"How about we go visit them together tomorrow? Today, your great-grandfather was so happy to hear that you were coming back that he accidentally fell down on his way out, so he couldn't come here. Tomorrow grandma will bring Chang'an to visit them."
Shangguan Lan, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing the news. She looked worried and asked quickly, "Mom, why didn't you tell us earlier that Grandpa had fallen down? Is he seriously injured?"
Mother Zhao sighed softly and comforted her, "Don't worry too much, Lan'er. Your uncle immediately asked the family doctor to come and see you after he found out."
"It's nothing serious. He's just old, and the fall gave him some shock. He needs to rest and recuperate."
"So after everyone discussed it, they decided not to let the old man travel here. Tomorrow you can take Chang'an with you to visit the old couple."
At this time, Zhao Han, who had been silent all this time, also spoke up: "Lan'er, let's take Chang'an home to visit grandpa and grandma tomorrow, okay?"
After saying this, he looked at Shangguan Lan with expectant eyes.
This time, Shangguan Lan did not directly reject Zhao Han's proposal as usual, but nodded slightly to show his agreement.
"What's wrong? Do you two have any special plans for tomorrow?" While carefully picking up delicious dishes for her adorable granddaughter, Zhao's mother looked up with a smile and turned her gaze to the two of them and asked.
Shangguan Lan, who was sitting next to him, nodded gently and replied softly: "Aunt Liang called and asked me to go back home. She also specifically asked me to bring Chang'an back with me so that they can see the child."
After hearing this, Zhao's mother couldn't help but turn her head and glance at her son. She saw that he looked a little unnatural, his eyes were evasive, and he looked guilty.
Seeing this, Zhao's mother couldn't help but sneer softly, thinking: "It really serves him right!"
But having said that, she still understood the matter in her heart.
After all, Shangguan Lan was supposed to marry into the Liang family, and even the grand wedding had already begun preparations and customization, but in the end, because of her own son, Shangguan Lan had to reluctantly break off the engagement.
All of this is owed by the Zhao family to the Liang family.
Mother Zhao calmed down a bit, then said to Shangguan Lan gently, "It is indeed time to go back and see them. Over the years, the Liang family has always treated you as their own daughter. This friendship is really rare."
As she spoke, Zhao's mother couldn't help but think of the little things she had experienced with Liang's mother, and a feeling of guilt welled up in her heart.
Then, Zhao's mother looked at Shangguan Lan enthusiastically and said, "Since you have decided to go back, please tell me the specific time in advance.
This will also give me enough time to prepare some gifts and specialties for you. You can’t go to visit someone empty-handed! "Faced with her mother-in-law's thoughtful care, Shangguan Lan was deeply moved and grateful.
So she quickly responded, "Thank you, Mom! Then let's go the day after tomorrow."
"Tomorrow we plan to take Chang'an to visit grandpa and grandma. Then in the evening, Zhao Han and I will take An'an to visit Dr. Mu to give the child a comprehensive check-up." After saying that, Shangguan Lan looked at Zhao's mother with anticipation.
"Mu Shen? You actually got in touch!" Zhao's mother said with joy on her face.
After hearing the news, her brows, which had been furrowed with worry, instantly relaxed, and the corners of her mouth lifted involuntarily, as if a huge stone hanging in her heart had finally fallen to the ground.
"Yes, Mom, we've got in touch. Zhao Han's junior sister Xia Ruoan is actually Mu Shen's sister. What a coincidence! And she has helped to find out the time and place. We can take An An there tomorrow." Shangguan Lan nodded with a smile, and her beautiful face was glowing with joy at this moment.
For a mother, nothing is more important than the health of her child.
"That's great, that's great! This junior sister really helped a lot, we must thank her very much."
"Doctor Mu is well-known for his excellent medical skills, but there has been no news about him in the past year. Even your father and I asked people around to find out, but we couldn't get any news about him."
Mother Zhao happily held her granddaughter Chang'an's hand and said with great emotion.
Looking at her cute little granddaughter, Zhao's mother couldn't help but tear up again: "My dear granddaughter, you don't have to go to the hospital every other day like before."
When he was moved, tears rolled down his cheeks.
Chang An, who was sensible, stretched out his chubby little hand, gently stroked Zhao's mother's face, and comforted her in a baby voice: "Don't cry, grandma, An An will be obedient and will get better soon."
The grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other tightly, and the warm scene was very touching.
"Okay, okay, grandma, don't cry. My dear granddaughter is the most sensible! Grandma will tell your grandpa this great news right away." Mother Zhao kissed her lovely granddaughter with a loving face and said softly.
She knew very well in her heart that Mu Shen, who was praised by all the people from traditional Chinese medicine families with a long tradition and superb medical skills, must have extraordinary abilities and outstanding qualities.
After a sumptuous lunch, Shangguan Lan took her daughter's soft little hand and slowly went upstairs.
At this time, Zhao's mother deliberately kept her son Zhao Han.
Mother Zhao questioned Zhao Han with an angry look on her face: "How dare you stop Lan'er from going to the Liang family? How can you have the nerve to make such a request?"
"You should think about it carefully. Do you think the Liang family will let you step into their door easily?" Zhao's mother mocked her son mercilessly.
After hearing this, Zhao Han's face turned pale and blue, and he had no way to refute.
"I have never been so embarrassed before! It was you who asked me to cancel my engagement with Lan'er, but in the end, you forced me to propose to Lan'er shamelessly."
"If it weren't for my precious granddaughter, I wouldn't bother with these trivial matters! I'm too embarrassed to see Lan'er again!"
Mother Zhao sneered and continued to scold Zhao Han: "Look at your behavior! Back then, Lan'er loved you deeply and wanted to marry you happily, but what about you?"
"Your eyes are so high that you look down on others and you have to chase Qiao Xin. What's the result? Qiao Xin has been abandoned by you? You just realized how good Lan Er is, but it's too late!"
"I also know that you are together now because of Chang'an. If Chang'an's condition gets better and if Lan'er wants to divorce, we will not stop her, and we don't have the face to stop her." Mother Zhao glanced at him and left.
Zhao Han looked at his mother in disbelief.
"Mom, I won't get divorced." Zhao Han looked at her and said.
"Then you should make Lan'er like you. Don't think I can't see that Lan'er doesn't want to live with you at all now." Zhao's mother sighed.
