Chapter 469: You're responsible for your own mistakes
He Tingchen helped Lin Rushuang out, fearing that she would lose her balance, and almost half-supported and half-carried her into the car.
Along the way, he didn't mention Jiang Yuyan again, but only chatted with her occasionally about some light topics.
"I heard from Wang Ma that Wangwang Huang knocked over a flower pot at home today, and Shuangshuang even went to teach Wangwang Huang a lesson."
Lin Rushuang knew that He Tingchen was worried that Jiang Yuyan's matter would affect her, so she cooperated and chuckled.
"Really? It seems Wangwang Huang is gradually adapting to this home. I remember that when he first came back, he was easily frightened."
"You're used to it now. Aunt Wang said Wangwang Huang and Shuangshuang are getting along very well now."
After returning to the apartment, He Tingchen first asked Lin Rushang to sit on the sofa, poured her a cup of warm honey water, and then went to the kitchen to heat up the pigeon soup and brought it out.
"Take your time to drink. Don't be in a hurry. There's more in the kitchen."
Lin Rushuang was a little uncomfortable with He Tingchen's behavior for a moment, she held the bowl.
"I'm fine here, go and do your thing."
"I've almost finished dealing with everything at the company. I've asked Li Wenyuan to look after the hospital. He'll call me if he has any news."
Lin Rushuang subconsciously closed her hand holding the bowl, and her throat tightened.
"How is Jiang Yuyan?"
"It's hard to say right now, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's Jiang Yuyan. If she hadn't pushed you, she wouldn't have been hit by the car."
Lin Rushuang nodded. She was just frightened by the situation at that time. As for guilt, she didn't feel any.
Just as He Tingchen said, if Jiang Yuyan hadn't had bad intentions, this accident could have been avoided.
Watching her sipping the soup and her complexion gradually returning to its rosy color, he took out his cell phone and saw the message from Li Wenyuan.
Jiang Yuyan has been released from the operating room. Both of her legs were severely comminuted and fractured. The doctor said amputation is necessary to save her life.
He Tingchen's fingertips paused on the screen.

After replying to the message, He Tingchen put his phone aside and focused on accompanying Lin Rushuang.
He didn't want these negative news to affect her anymore. He just wanted her to have a peaceful pregnancy and wait for the wedding.
In the hospital, Jiang Yuyan slowly woke up in the ward.
The effect of the anesthetic gradually wore off, and she felt a piercing pain in her legs. But when she moved her legs, she found that there was nothing underneath her. There was no familiar touch in the quilt, only a coldness.
"My legs...where are my legs?!"
Jiang Yuyan suddenly lifted the quilt and saw the empty trouser legs. She screamed instantly, and her voice was so shrill that it scared the nurse outside the door.
"Why are my legs gone?"
Li Wenyuan heard the noise and walked in from the corridor. Looking at Jiang Yuyan, who was lying on the bed, his face showed no sympathy, only indifference. "The doctor said your leg is too badly injured and must be amputated, otherwise your life will be in danger."
"Amputation?!" Jiang Yuyan's eyes widened, staring at Li Wenyuan. "Why didn't you stop them? Li Wenyuan, have you been hoping for me to become a cripple?"
Li Wenyuan frowned, his tone cold.
"Jiang Yuyan, you have to understand. It was you who tried to push Rushuang that caused you to get hit by the car. You deserve it. I've done my best to stay here and protect you."
"I've done my best?" Jiang Yuyan laughed, tears streaming down her cheeks. "What did you say when you were pursuing me? You said you'd treat me well for the rest of my life and protect me forever! Now that I've become like this, you're telling me you've done your best? Li Wenyuan, you're a liar!"
"I did lie to you, but you also schemed against me."
Li Wenyuan ruthlessly exposed her disguise.
"Do you think I don't know that you approached me just for the Li family's money and status? Now that you've become like this, it's all your own fault. It has nothing to do with me."
He looked at Jiang Yuyan's hysterical appearance without a single ripple in his heart.
"We're divorced now. I have nothing to do with your affairs anymore. I'll have my assistant leave you some medical expenses. You'll have to take care of yourself from now on."
After saying that, Li Wenyuan turned around and left, leaving Jiang Yuyan crying and cursing behind him without looking back.
The crying sounds in the ward gradually died down, leaving only Jiang Yuyan's desperate sobs echoing in the cold air.
Less than half an hour after Li Wenyuan left, two police officers in uniform walked into Jiang Yuyan's ward.
The ticking sound of the monitor was particularly clear in the quiet room. Jiang Yuyan leaned against the head of the bed, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes. Her empty trouser legs lay flat on the quilt, like two pieces of lifeless cloth.
"Jiang Yuyan, we are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. We are here today to talk to you about what happened in front of the bridal shop today."
The leading policeman took out his notebook and spoke in a calm tone with unquestionable seriousness.
"According to the surveillance video and eyewitness testimony, it was you who approached Lin Rushuang and pushed her, correct?"
Jiang Yuyan's body suddenly stiffened, and her fingers tightly grasped the bed sheet beneath her.
She raised her head, the redness and swelling under her eyes still lingering, her voice hoarse but with a hint of sophistry.
"I didn't push her! She dodged on her own and I lost my balance and fell out!"
"The surveillance footage is very clear. The amplitude of your pushing was large, and there was a vehicle coming from the opposite side of the road at the time. It's impossible that you didn't see it."
Another policeman took out a tablet, pulled up the surveillance screenshots and handed them to her.
"Look here. When you reached out your hand, your gaze was clearly directed toward the oncoming car. This shows that you were aware that your actions could put Lin Rushuang in danger, and you even had the motive to deliberately let her get hit by the car."
"I didn't!" Jiang Yuyan suddenly screamed, waving her hand and knocking the tablet out of the policeman's hand. "I just had a few words with her. I didn't mean to kill her! She was lucky enough to dodge it, and I was unlucky enough to get hit by the car!"
"Whether it was her fault or not, the law will determine based on the evidence."
The leading policeman picked up the tablet, his tone still calm.
"But based on the existing evidence, your actions already constitute the crime of intentional injury, and even the motive of attempted murder. You knew that pushing Lin Rushuang onto the road would put her life in danger, yet you still carried out the act. This constitutes the elements of a crime."
"Criminal?" Jiang Yuyan trembled uncontrollably. "I didn't commit any crime, and Lin Rushuang is fine now. It's me, can't you see? I'm already a cripple, and you still want to put me in jail?"
"The law does not exempt you from liability just because you were injured."
The police looked at her collapsed expression, and there was a hint of regret in his tone.
"Now that the evidence is irrefutable, it's best if you cooperate with the investigation and truthfully confess your actions. Perhaps you can get a lighter sentence."
"Leniency?"
Jiang Yuyan laughed, her laughter was shrill and desperate.
"I'm already in this state, what good is a lenient sentence? My legs are gone, and my life is over!"
