He Yan casually made up a story: "It's nothing, I just had bad luck and tripped and fell, fracturing my leg."
After the soldiers helped He Yan to the courtyard where he lived, the housekeeper saw them.
Sister Chen quickly stepped forward to support He Yan: "Oh my, my little darling, what happened to you? You went out early this morning, how did you come back like a wounded soldier?"
He Yan listened to her exaggerated shouts with a splitting headache.
The whole family came out to see what was happening.
Su Qin was heartbroken by He Yan a few days ago. When she saw her son's injured leg, she felt awkward, but still asked with concern, "What happened?"
Upon seeing this, He Ya immediately asked exaggeratedly, "Did you break your leg? I told you, that mother and daughter are demons in disguise. If you go looking for them again, you'll lose your life there."
Hearing his sister speak of his wife and children like that, He Yan angrily retorted, "Shut up! I think you're the one who's a thousand-year-old demon in disguise, yet you're so annoying."
"Mom, look at him! He doesn't know what's good for him at all!"
He Ya pointed at He Yan and stomped her feet in anger.
Su Qin quickly advised, "Okay, he's in a bad mood, just ignore him."
Sister Chen helped He Yan to his bedroom. Su Qin, worried and wanting to know why he was injured, followed him in.
"How did you get your leg injured? Is it related to that mother and daughter? Tell your mother the truth."
Su Qin knew that He Yan had been going out early and returning late every day to see that mother and daughter, so his sudden leg injury must be related to them.
"To be honest, I fell accidentally and it had nothing to do with anyone else. Stop with the conspiracy theories."
Ever since he learned how his mother and sister treated Xiaohua and her daughter, he has had a very bad attitude towards his mother and sister.
Su Qin pointed at him angrily, and after a long while, she could only stammer, "You, you, you..." before finally shutting up and turning away in anger.
He Ya found the phone book at home and called Lu Zhan's house, saying she needed to talk to Lu Zhan. Lu Zhan didn't want to answer He Ya's call, but He Ya called back and said that He Yan had fallen and injured his leg. When Lu Zhan heard that He Yan had injured his leg, he said he would come to visit the injured man immediately.
When He Ya heard that Lu Zhan was coming, she quickly went to her room to dress herself up, putting on her latest and most fashionable women's clothes, along with red high-heeled lambskin shoes. She also styled her hair into big waves and let it fall down, and she had to admit that she looked quite charming.
He Ya felt exceptionally good about herself, looking at herself in the mirror from left to right, extremely satisfied.
She felt that dressing up would definitely make Lu Zhan's eyes light up. Last time, Lu Zhan came over early in the morning, and she didn't even have time to dress up.
She made him see a less attractive side of herself, and the thought of it made her angry. This time, she was determined to make sure Lu Zhan couldn't help but fall for her.
When Lu Zhan arrived, He Ya greeted him warmly at the door. However, Lu Zhan didn't notice He Ya's carefully chosen attire at all. His entire focus was on He Yan's leg injury, and he was eager to know exactly what had happened between He Yan and his wife.
"Sister Xiaoya, I'm going to find He Yan." Lu Zhan said, and ran straight upstairs.
But He Ya grabbed his wrist. As expected of the commander's daughter and the regimental commander's older sister, she was really strong, befitting her military family background.
"Sister Xiaoya, what's wrong? Is He Yan not in his room?"
He Ya shook her head, and said to Lu Zhan with an expectant look, "Do you see anything different about me today?"
Lu Zhan was confused and too lazy to look, so he quickly replied perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, Sister Xiaoya looks especially beautiful today."
He Ya shyly let go of his arm, cupped her face in her hands like a young girl, and said bashfully, "Really?"
However, Lu Zhan had already dashed upstairs in a flash. He Ya stomped her foot angrily: "Since you think I look beautiful today, don't you know how to appreciate me properly? How annoying!"
When Lu Zhan entered, he saw He Yan sitting on the bed with one leg propped up, and he jokingly said with a smug look, "Did you really break your leg?"
He Yan was furious when he saw him and said irritably, "You still have the nerve to come here."
Lu Zhan expressed his innocence: "How could I be ashamed to come? What's wrong with you? Did you eat explosives?"
He Yan was so angry that he didn't want to talk to him. Lu Zhan walked over and tapped his bandaged leg: "Didn't you say you would find a chance to break your leg after Ye Xiaohua finished her college entrance exam? How come you broke it so soon? Did you do it on purpose or by accident?"
He Yan didn't want to talk to him and turned his face away.
Lu Zhan scratched his head, wondering what he had done to offend him.
Are you angry with me?
He Yan immediately retorted, "Shouldn't I be angry with you? Look at the terrible idea you gave me."
Lu Zhan immediately understood: "Is it because Ye Xiaohua won't allow you to stay at her house to recover from your injuries?"
He Yan gave him a look that seemed to ask, as if he already knew the answer.
"That shouldn't be the case. Women are usually kind and compassionate. Did you fall at her house because of her and the child?"
Lu Zhan felt there was definitely something fishy going on.
He Yan snorted coldly: "Heh... According to your logic, that means Ye Xiaohua isn't a woman, so she's neither soft-hearted nor kind."
Lu Zhan forced He Yan to tell the truth. After learning the whole story, Lu Zhan laughed so hard he fell onto He Yan's bed and rolled over.
Luckily, they were brothers who grew up together, otherwise He Yan would have kicked him out and let him gloat over his misfortune.
"Your wife is really interesting, not bad, not bad at all. Sigh, let me tell you, the main reason you fell wasn't serious enough to cause a fracture, not even a broken bone, so it doesn't arouse a woman's pity."
Lu Zhan summarized the reasons for his failure.
"So, should I take a knife and cut off my own leg?" He Yan said irritably.
Lu Zhan quickly shook his head: "That won't do. That would leave him disabled. Women might feel pity, but they'll eventually start to dislike him."
"Get out of here! You useless piece of trash!" He Yan angrily kicked Lu Zhan with his good foot.
Lu Zhan dodged quickly and missed the kick, which made him angry again.
"I'll give you another good idea, this time it'll definitely work."
Before Lu Zhan could even say what idea he had come up with, He Yan interrupted him disdainfully: "What good ideas could you possibly come up with with that pig brain of yours? Don't get me into trouble! Get lost!"
Lu Zhan ignored him and said, "Your main injury this time was too minor, just a fracture. It's not very effective. If I were you, I would definitely do it again. For example, if you scald yourself with boiling water, a big red patch of skin and flesh would be a shocking sight. But don't scald your face, or you'll be disfigured."
Lu Zhan looked He Yan up and down, then kicked his injured leg: "Yes, pour it on this injured leg, and I guarantee your wife will be so heartbroken she'll personally take care of you."
