Chapter 220 I'll be able to pay back all the money I owe you this year.
Huang Shan's face flushed red. She wasn't sure if Shen Yan had heard Chu Rou's words, which was really embarrassing.
"Brother Shen Yan, you've arrived."
She didn't dare to look Shen Yan in the eye. After speaking, she lowered her eyes and didn't see the surprise and inexplicable emotions in Shen Yan's eyes.
Chu Rou turned around and saw Shen Yan. Her eyes, which had been crying all day, were filled with tears again. "Brother Shen Yan, Xiao Luo is badly injured."
Shen Yan shifted his gaze from Huang Shan to the hospital bed, where Shen Luo was still unconscious.
He walked over, frowned as he looked at his younger brother wrapped up like a dumpling, feeling both angry and resentful. He resented the evildoers, and he was angry at himself for not being able to protect his family.
His initial motivation for becoming a lawyer was to send bad people to prison, but after entering society, he realized that the world is not black and white, and there are many things he cannot do, leaving him feeling powerless.
"Where is the person who hurt Xiao Luo?" Shen Yan asked in a deep voice.
“An eye for an eye,” Chu Rou replied. “Ding Zhiyi’s injuries are no less severe than Xiao Luo’s.”
Shen Yan raised his head and looked at Chu Rou, "Why did this guy surnamed Ding kidnap Xiao Luo? Is it because we offended his son at our last dinner party?"
"He went way too far!"
Chu Rou frowned. "Ding Zhiyi's target is me, and he also has my mortal enemy by his side..."
Chu Rou only said half of what she said before realizing something was off. Ding Zhiyi didn't seem like the kind of man who would be bossed around by a woman; He Yin was probably just exaggerating.
She had only said a few sarcastic remarks to Ding Zhen at the time, so Ding Zhiyi really didn't need to kill her!
"Could it be that Ding Zhiyi blamed you for Ding Zhen's dismissal?" Mo Chi suddenly asked.
Chu Rou blinked. "Then I'm really unlucky. This is an undeserved disaster!"
"I did what Ding Zhen did." Qi Wende appeared at the door of the ward at some point.
Everyone looked at Qi Wende.
Qi Wende entered the ward. "Rou Rou, I'm sorry, Dad didn't expect to cause trouble for you and Shen Luo."
Chu Rou sighed, realizing that Ding Zhiyi hadn't made a mistake in choosing the wrong person; it really was their family who did it.
"Dad, didn't you go too far?" Chu Rou knew her father was trying to avenge her, but it seemed he had gone a bit too far.
Qi Wende's voice was icy cold, "He brought this on himself. Who told him to speak so rudely to you?"
“This time it was Dad’s oversight,” Qi Wende softened his tone, “and we won’t leave any more problems for next time.”
Chu Rou:......
She hoped there wouldn't be a next time; she was truly terrified. This time it was Xiao Luo, but next time... she didn't want anyone around her to get hurt again.
"Dad, you should tone down your temper a bit."
"Okay!" Qi Wende agreed to whatever Chu Rou said unconditionally.
Huang Shan was delighted to hear about the fate of the Ding family father and son. "Sister Chu Rou, Uncle Qi has rid D City of a menace. The Ding family should be able to have some peace and quiet for a while now."
Qi Wende snorted coldly, "The Ding family will never be able to cause trouble again. They don't think they can get away with just a beating! I'm going to make the Ding family disappear from D City."
"Dad, what do you want to do?" Chu Rou asked in surprise, realizing that she knew too little about her father.
Qi Wende's gaze fell on Chu Rou's surprised face. Afraid of frightening his daughter, he said, "Of course, it's to make it impossible for the Ding family to continue their business in D City."
"Oh!" Chu Rou breathed a sigh of relief. She was terrified; she thought her father was going to kill her!
Mo Chi didn't see anything wrong with it, and he wouldn't let the Ding family off so easily.
Qu Jie stood up. "Sister Chu Rou, it's getting late. You've had a long day. You should go and rest. I'll stay and take care of Chen Luo."
Chu Rou glanced at Qu Jie's swollen eyes and couldn't help but sigh. She nodded and said, "Then we'll leave first. There are too many people, and Xiao Luo won't be able to rest well. It's just that you've had a hard time."
Qu Jie shook her head, "It's not hard work."
Chu Rou and the others left the ward together and decided to stay at a hotel near the hospital.
Huang Shan was going home. At the hospital entrance, she waved to everyone, "I won't stay at the hotel with you. I'll go home and come back tomorrow."
Shen Yan took a step forward and walked to Huang Shan's side. "I'll take you home first."
"Huh? No need. D City is my territory. I can do whatever I want there." For some reason, Huang Shan became apprehensive about being alone with Shen Yan.
She used to wish she could be with Shen Yan 24/7.
"Shanshan, it's too late. Let Brother Shenyan take you. Otherwise, I'm worried." After saying that, Chu Rou pulled Mo Chi and Qi Wende away.
Shen Yan stood in front of Huang Shan and saw that she kept her head down. "What's wrong? It's only been ten days since we last met, and you're already treating me like a stranger?"
Huang Shan looked up, a hint of panic in her eyes. "No, I was just worried you'd be tired after running around all day."
“I’m not tired,” Shen Yan said, draping one arm lightly over Huang Shan’s waist and pointing to the left with the other. “My car is parked over there, let’s go over there.”
"Oh!" Huang Shan was led by Shen Yan to the car like a puppet on a string.
Shen Yan opened the passenger door, let Huang Shan get in, and closed the door.
Shen Yan sat in the driver's seat and noticed that Huang Shan's seatbelt was not fastened, so he leaned over and fastened it for her.
Huang Shan, who was in a daze, was startled, and her heart pounded wildly.
Shen Yan fastened his seatbelt, turned on the navigation, and asked, "Where do you live?"
"Huh? Oh!" Huang Shan swallowed hard and gave her home address.
The two remained quiet throughout the journey. Shen Yan found it somewhat unusual; Huang Shan, who used to chatter incessantly, seemed to have changed her ways today, remaining completely silent.
Huang Shan fidgeted with her fingers, feeling very nervous for some reason, perhaps because her feelings for Shen Yan had changed.
She fell in love with Shen Yan at first sight, attracted by his looks and temperament; his mature charm was something that students lacked.
She wanted to be with Shen Yan, to become his girlfriend, and she was willing to shamelessly stay by his side.
But as she spent more time with Shen Yan, her mindset gradually changed. She stopped focusing on appearances and her heart slowly began to fall for him. Perhaps this is what love is all about!
The more she sank into this situation, the more painful it became, as she received no response from Shen Yan.
After being away from Shen Yan, she desperately missed the time she spent with him, and no one knew that she would cry every night.
When she saw Shen Yan again today, her heart was pounding in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single word.
Shen Yan drove to Huang Shan's house. After parking the car, he said to the stunned Huang Shan, "Shan Shan, you're home."
"Oh!" Huang Shan snapped out of her daze. She hurriedly unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and didn't dare to turn her head. "Thank you, Brother Shen Yan!"
"Shanshan!" Shen Yan suddenly called out to Huang Shan.
Huang Shan turned around. "Is there anything else, Brother Shen Yan?"
Shen Yan shook his head. "I just wanted to tell you that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will be able to pay off the money I owe you this year."
