Cao Xue looked embarrassed. She lowered her head and tried to explain, but Cao Wei interrupted her: "Let's leave now."
Cao Xue looked at He Lingchuan with reluctance, holding Cao Wei's hand tightly, and said stubbornly, "I'm not going back."
She stood in front of He Lingchuan's hospital bed, her eyes filled with heartache: "Sister, please let me stay here. I really like Brother Lingchuan. I'm not doing this to repay a debt of gratitude."
Cao Wei was exasperated, her face turning pale with anger: "So what if you like him? He doesn't have any feelings for you at all."
Since Cao Wei and Shen Yanxi had a complete falling out, her attitude towards Shen Yanxi changed very quickly, and she was no longer as warm towards her as before.
Cao Wei grabbed Cao Xue's wrist, gradually increasing her grip: "If you still want to be a daughter of the Cao family, come back with me and don't hang out with this scoundrel."
Cao Wei now completely regards He Lingchuan as an enemy. He Lingchuan was both amused and exasperated, but upon further reflection, he realized that Cao Wei did indeed deserve to die.
Cao Xue was so young and already so infatuated with him. Gu Chengze didn't believe him when he said he hadn't interfered or seduced Cao Xue.
He's like someone who's swallowing a bitter pill, unable to express his feelings.
All he could do now was to express his thoughts to Cao Xue, thoughts that neither of them should have had in the first place: "Cao Xue, you and your sister go back, and don't come back again."
Cao Wei stood aside and sneered, "You get the money and then tell my sister to stop coming to you. You've really got a good plan."
Hearing her words, He Lingchuan looked helpless: "Then what do you want me to do?"
He sighed, "It's not right for me to send Cao Xue back now, nor is it right to keep her here."
He Lingchuan sighed: "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to pay you back."
"You're going to pay me back? How are you going to pay me back? We don't even know when you'll be discharged from the hospital, and you're talking about paying me back? I think you should just give up. My parents said that this money is for buying a heart transplant. Don't come looking for my sister again. If you see my sister again, just call me."
Cao Wei spoke coldly, and after saying this, she grabbed Cao Xue's hand and prepared to leave.
Cao Xue shook her a few times with all her might. Because she was in the recovery period, she was very weak. Cao Wei only tugged at her lightly, and she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Cao Xue gently patted Cao Wei's shoulder, wanting to say something, but was silenced by a look from Cao Wei: "You think our house isn't messy enough? They don't even welcome you, so why are you still shamelessly staying here?"
Cao Xue stood silently behind Cao Wei, her head bowed and a look of guilt on her face.
Seeing her aggrieved look, He Lingchuan felt a pang of pity.
"This is also my fault. I was tactless. Please stop talking about her."
"Of course this is your fault, how else could it be my sister's fault?"
Cao Wei looked at He Lingchuan with displeasure: "Stop pretending to blame her. I'll be grateful if you don't provoke her in the future."
After saying the last word, Cao Wei turned and left.
Watching her departing figure, a trace of loneliness appeared in He Lingchuan's eyes.
Shen Yanxi saw all the changes in his expression and said sarcastically, "If you can't bear to part with him, then go after him. I think he seems to really miss you."
Shen Yanxi deliberately drew out her voice, and He Lingchuan lowered his head awkwardly when he heard her voice: "Don't talk nonsense. If Cao Wei hears this, she'll come back and make a scene again."
"I think you're the one who's really hoping they'll come back."
Shen Yanxi suddenly started acting unreasonably. She stood in front of He Lingchuan, grabbed his hand, and said, "He Lingchuan, do you still want the child?"
He Lingchuan looked up in surprise: "You've thought it through? You're planning to hand the child over to me?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanxi's expression changed instantly. She turned her head away, her face haughty: "Don't even think about it."
He Lingchuan had known she would say that; Shen Yanxi was just testing him to see if he was with Cao Xue.
He looked Shen Yanxi up and down with some doubt: "Shen Yanxi, since you don't want me to be with Cao Xue, shouldn't you also show your sincerity and leave Zhou Mingyan?"
Since she doesn't allow herself to find someone new, she can't be with Zhou Mingyan either.
Shen Yanxi raised an eyebrow, her tone firm: "What right do you have to tell me what to do?"
"Then what right do you have to tell me what to do?"
He Lingchuan sneered, his eyes full of disdain: "You don't actually think we're still a legally married couple, do you? Even if we are, you have no right to tell me what to do. Don't forget, you're the one at fault."
Shen Yanxi's face instantly turned cold. She said coldly, her whole body filled with hostility: "Don't be ungrateful. Mingyan and I are innocent. It's you and Cao Xue who are entangled in something ambiguous."
"clean?"
He Lingchuan sat up, his eyes full of inquiry and doubt as he looked at Shen Yanxi. He deliberately lowered his voice and asked directly in front of Gu Chengze, "But I clearly saw you and He Lingchuan come out of the same room. Is this what you call innocence?"
"When will you..."
Shen Yanxi suddenly stopped mid-sentence, her eyes widening as if she had just realized something: "You saw everything?"
She stepped forward, her lips moving as if to explain, "We didn't say anything that time."
He Lingchuan stared into her eyes, and after she finished speaking, he deliberately laughed out loud: "Nothing happened? Do you think I'd believe that?"
A man and a woman alone in a room, and they even came out at the same time the next morning, yet Shen Yanxi said nothing happened between them? How ridiculous.
He Lingchuan glanced coldly at Shen Yanxi, his tone icy: "I no longer care about you and Zhou Mingyan. I just want to know, how is Nan Chen?"
The name Nan Chen seemed to trigger Shen Yanxi's temper. She suddenly frowned and looked at He Lingchuan with resentment: "You still know to ask him? I thought you were busy flirting and forgot that your child had just been rescued from the jaws of death."
"How is he?"
He Lingchuan was somewhat anxious. He gripped the blanket with both hands, feeling intense pain in his body with every movement.
"Nothing much, just a little frightened."
After saying this, Shen Yanxi paused, and under He Lingchuan's expectant gaze, she said, "It seems that he no longer intends to acknowledge you as his father."
These words were like a bolt from the blue for He Lingchuan. He stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "This is impossible."
After saying that, he was about to get out of bed, but Gu Chengze stopped him: "Ling Chuan, your wound hasn't healed yet, the doctor doesn't recommend that you leave the ward."
Gu Chengze forcefully pressed He Lingchuan down on the bed and patiently calmed him down: "Don't listen to Shen Yanxi's nonsense, calm down."
