In the ward, Han Xueyou was weakly leaning on a pillow behind her waist, sitting there with a guilty conscience.
In fact, when she saw Han Qing the moment she woke up, she was so terrified that she almost fainted again.
After all, she didn’t expect Shen Qi to message Han Qing about this, and she was unsure whether the two of them had met.
If she lost her title of being the Young Lady of the Han family in order to get Ye Moxuan’s affection, it would be a very unprofitable bargain.
Whether it was background or relationship, she wanted them all!
“Why?” Han Qing’s voice was cold, with no hint of emotions. Han Xueyou raised her head and looked at him, and her eyes drooped again in fright. What should she say? She never thought that Han Qing would know about this, nor did she think that he would be involved.
It could only be said that she had miscalculated this time.
She didn’t pay much attention when cutting herself. At the beginning, she only cut lightly, but the blood wasn’t enough, so she used a little bit of strength. Who knew that due to her trembling hand, the cut would be so deep?
It felt like she had taken a tour around hell before coming back.
Thinking of this, Han Xueyou felt the aftershock, and her eyes were red as tears rolled down her cheeks.
When Han Qing saw that, he couldn’t help frowning.
“You cried after just a question from me? Where has all your courage when you tried to commit suicide gone?”
“Qing—” Han Xueyou called his name between sobs, but Han Qing only felt annoyed when he saw her, and he didn’t feel sorry for her at all. However, he still remained a calm expression, revealing nothing.
“I-I was wrong this time, Qing. Please don’t be angry at me.” Han Xueyou knew that Han Qing was not a person whom she could placate by crying. The only way to deal with him was to confess her mistake quickly, so she quickly apologized to Han Qing.
“President Han, Miss Shen is here.”
Su Jiu’s announcement came from outside the door. When Han Xueyou heard Shen Qi’s name, her face suddenly became pale, and she shouted loudly, “No! I don’t want to see her!”
She screamed so loudly that she almost lost her voice, and her voice was so shrill that everyone was startled. Upon seeing that, Han Qing frowned. “You don’t want to see her?”
“Yes!” Han Xueyou nodded vigorously. “I don’t want to see her. Secretary Su, please ask her to leave quickly!”
Regardless whether Shen Qi and Han Qing had met before, she couldn’t take any risks now. If they hadn’t met, her behavior this time would be worth it. She would never let them meet each other.
If they had met, at least she would have no regrets.
No matter what, she would grab every opportunity to do this.
Han Xueyou suddenly became very agitated—even her eyes and body movements became emotional. Han Qing frowned when he saw this. Yesterday, he saw clearly how Shen Qi treated Han Xueyou like her sister. She was always worried that something would happen to Han Xueyou, and even when she left, she was in despair. On the other hand, Han Xueyou’s attitude was different.
Their attitude toward each other was complete opposites.
Shen Qi, who was standing outside the door, clearly heard Han Xueyou’s words. Then, Su Jiu turned around to look at her awkwardly.
“Miss Shen, Miss Xueyou said that—”
Shen Qi, who looked pale, bit her lower lip, as if she was enduring something. After a while, she raised her head again and smiled weakly. “She is still very weak, so it’s better for her to stay calm. Since she doesn’t want to see me now, I will go back first.”
After speaking, Shen Qi turned around and left, ignoring Su Jiu’s reaction.
As the two groups of people were only separated by a door, both sides could hear the conversation on the opposite ends.
After Han Xueyou heard Shen Qi say that she was leaving, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. When she relaxed, she noticed that a sharp gaze had been staring at her. Han Xueyou looked over and met Han Qing’s gaze, which was staring at her fixedly and inquisitively.
Han Xueyou suddenly became nervous and stammered, “Q-Qing, I-I just don’t want to see her right now. I—”
“You don’t have to explain anything.” Han Qing stood up and stuck one of his hands in his pocket. “I’m not interested in the conflict between you two, but…” He paused for a while. “She was the one who sent you to the hospital yesterday. Shouldn’t you at least thank her? Is this what you’ve learned from the Han family?” he asked coldly.
Han Xueyou’s face turned pale. “Qing, I—”
Han Qing turned around and walked out.
“Qing!”
Han Xueyou yelled, wanting to jump out of bed to catch up to him, but Han Qing’s pace was very fast. He soon left the ward and told Su Jiu, “Keep a watch on her, and don’t let her run around.”
“Yes, President Han.” Su Jiu came in and closed the door of the ward, but Han Xueyou got up, trying to catch up with him.
“Miss Xueyou, you’ve heard him yourself. You are too weak now, so it’s better for you to lie on the bed and rest.”
“No, he misunderstood me. I’m going to explain myself to him!” Han Xueyou pushed Su Jiu forcefully. However, as she was really weak after all, Su Jiu pushed her back to the bed to sit down. Then, Su Jiu sighed helplessly and explained to her, “You know President Han’s temper very well. If you chase after him at this time, he will be angry.”
Hearing this, Han Xueyou suddenly returned to her senses. Indeed, Han Qing’s temper was like that. If she still chased after him, he would get angry.
Forget it, then.
Han Xueyou bit her lower lip and suddenly thought of something. “Secretary Su, has Shen Qi met Qing?”
Su Jiu was taken aback when she heard that. “Huh?”
“I mean, how did you know about this yesterday? Did Shen Qi notify you?”
Su Jiu was speechless for a long time before shaking her head. “Miss Xueyou, committing suicide is such a big issue. Do you think that Miss Shen would not tell us? I know you are very good friends, but we should be notified, seeing that such a serious incident happened. After all, President Han is your family. Are you angry with Miss Shen because she let your brother know about it? Is that why you don’t want to see her?”
Hearing that, Han Xueyou’s face turned pale. “I just didn’t want him to worry.”
Su Jiu paused for a moment before saying, “Miss Xueyou, with all due respect, you have chosen to commit suicide; it has nothing to do with worrying him or not. Or do you—”
“I used the wrong words just now. I just didn’t want my brother to know,” Han Xueyou replied angrily and glared at Su Jiu. “What’s the matter with you? Why do you always refute what I say? Are you close with Shen Qi ?”
Su Jiu was speechless when she heard that.
She merely smiled slightly.”Miss Xueyou, please don’t joke around. Miss Shen and I only have a businesslike relationship. I’m not close to her at all.”
However, Su Jiu found Han Xueyou’s behavior very peculiar—after she woke up, she didn’t look like a person who just had a failed suicide attempt at all. On top of that, her reasons were quite inconsistent, which felt very strange to Su Jiu.
However, she couldn’t pinpoint precisely what was off.
Regardless of that, Su Jiu became increasingly curious about Han Xueyou’s matters.
