Chapter 230: Such a Gentle Person
Fu Hanchuan's gaze lingered for a moment, his thin lips pressed into a straight line as he hesitated.
"Hanjiang..."
In the end, he still didn't say anything.
"Brother," Fu Hanjiang's heart sank, growing more uneasy. "What could it be that's so difficult to talk about?"
Fu Hanchuan remained silent.
"Brother!" Fu Hanjiang was getting anxious. "You can't even tell me?"
He guessed, "Could it be that you really did something to let Le Yi down?"
Fu Hanchuan's eyes flickered, seemingly confirming the suspicion.
"Brother!" Fu Hanjiang was stunned, stepping closer to his brother and lowering his voice. "Say something!"
"Hanjiang..." Fu Hanchuan frowned deeply, hesitating.
"Brother!"
"Second Young Master!" Qi Si stepped forward timely, pulling Fu Hanjiang back. "The First Young Master knows what he's doing, please don't push him."
"I'm pushing him?" Fu Hanjiang's forehead veins bulged as he looked at Fu Hanchuan. "Brother, your personal matters indeed don't need to be told to me! But I hope you really know what you're doing!"
He pointed inside the ward area. "Today, Le Yi only fainted from low blood sugar, what about next time? If something really happens to her next time, will you also be unable to get to her in time when she needs you?"
Hearing this, Fu Hanchuan's eyes darkened, still silent, seemingly at a loss for words.
Fu Hanjiang silently looked at his brother, his full of doubts and dissatisfaction ultimately turning into helplessness.
"As your brother, I've said all I can—go in and see Le Yi, she was just asking about you."
After speaking, he turned and walked out of the ward area.
"Young Master," Qi Si looked at the silent Fu Hanchuan, advising him, "Actually, why not tell the Second Young Master? He is your most trusted brother, and having his help could save you a lot of trouble with Miss Yao."
"Enough," Fu Hanchuan frowned, glaring at his confidant. "I have my own plans for this."
"Yes," Qi Si immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say more.
Fu Hanchuan walked into the ward area.
Should he tell Hanjiang? As Qi Si said, if Hanjiang knew, it would only be beneficial for him.
Or, should he wait a bit longer and see?
…
After Fu Hanjiang left, Sheng Xiangsi lost interest in watching the movie.
With this time, she might as well go back and accompany Junjun?
She grabbed her bag and walked out of the theater.
It was the after-work rush hour, and the entertainment venues were crowded.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Xiangsi was bumped into, causing her shoulder to stagger, almost falling.
"Are you okay?"
Someone beside her helped her up.
"I'm fine. Thank you."
Just as Sheng Xiangsi was thanking him, she noticed something was wrong. She touched her wrist... Damn, her watch was gone!
She suddenly looked up and saw the person who had bumped into her—a man wearing a black baseball cap.
"Thief!" Sheng Xiangsi vaguely remembered what the person looked like. "Thief! He stole my watch!"
In the crowd, the man looked back guiltily.
"Stop! It's you!"
Sheng Xiangsi pushed through the crowd and ran after the black baseball cap.
"Don't run! Ah..."
"Stop!"
Suddenly, a familiar figure dashed past her.
Tall, familiar—it was Zhong Pei!
Sheng Xiangsi was surprised to see him in this situation. Watching Zhong Pei's sprinting figure, she couldn't help but think about his leg...
Was his leg healed enough to run like this?
Ahead, Zhong Pei had already caught up with the black baseball cap, kicking the back of the man's knee, making him kneel.
"Where's the watch? Hand it over!"
"Hmph."
The man sneered, reaching into his pocket, suddenly pulling out a knife and stabbing at Zhong Pei!
Then, he pushed Zhong Pei to the ground and ran off!
"Zhong Pei!"
Sheng Xiangsi arrived just in time to see this scene.
Her face turned pale, her knees weak as she fell to the ground, supporting Zhong Pei. "Zhong Pei! Where are you hurt?"
"I'm fine..." Zhong Pei held his arm, looking at the pale-faced woman, smiling lightly. "Don't worry, it's just my arm, it's nothing serious."
Nothing serious?
Blood was seeping through Zhong Pei's fingers, and he called this nothing serious?
"We need to go to the hospital immediately!" Sheng Xiangsi helped Zhong Pei up. "Let's go, now!"
"Okay..."
Zhong Pei nodded, apologizing, "Sorry, I couldn't get your watch back."
"Why mention the watch at a time like this?"
Sheng Xiangsi frowned and shook her head. If she had known a watch would cause Zhong Pei to get hurt, she wouldn't have chased after it in the first place!
"The car's here, get in!"
"Okay."
…
On the way to the theater, Fu Hanjiang received a call from Uncle Chen.
"Uncle Chen. I'm almost there."
"Second Young Master," Chen Zhong said, "I arrived at the time you mentioned, but I didn't see Miss Xiangsi, and her phone isn't reachable."
What?
Fu Hanjiang frowned. "Okay, I got it, I'll call her."
"Alright."
After hanging up, Fu Hanjiang immediately called Sheng Xiangsi.
As Chen Zhong had said, she didn't answer.
Could it be that she was angry?
But Fu Hanjiang called again, and unexpectedly, this time, it connected.
"Hello."
"Xiangsi," Fu Hanjiang was relieved and happy. "I'm almost at the theater. Where are you? Have you come out? Which exit?"
Unexpectedly, Sheng Xiangsi said, "I'm not at the theater."
"?" Fu Hanjiang was taken aback, having a bad feeling. "Then where are you?"
"I'm at the hospital."
Sheng Xiangsi didn't hide anything, explaining what happened.
"Alright, I got it. I'm coming over now."
After hanging up, Fu Hanjiang's face turned dark.
Zhong Pei again.
This is endless?
At the hospital.
When Fu Hanjiang arrived, Sheng Xiangsi was helping Zhong Pei sit down on a bench.
After seeing the emergency doctor, it turned out that Zhong Pei's arm was more serious than they thought. The wound was quite deep, possibly affecting the nerves, and needed surgery for stitching. They were now completing the preparations.
Sheng Xiangsi felt remorseful and self-blaming. What kind of jinx was she, making Zhong Pei get hurt every time they met.
"It's all my fault."
"Don't say that." Zhong Pei couldn't stand seeing her upset. "It's not your fault, it's that thief's. Don't punish yourself for someone else's mistake, okay?"
"Zhong Pei..."
Sheng Xiangsi's eyes welled up with tears.
He was still so good, as if he would never bear a grudge, no matter what he went through, he wouldn't grow resentful.
How could there be such a gentle person in the world?
"Don't cry."
Zhong Pei took out a tissue from his pocket, originally intending to wipe her tears.
But, he held back...
He didn't have that right anymore.
"Here." Zhong Pei handed the tissue to her. "Wipe your tears. I still need you to run around for me."
"Hmph."
Sheng Xiangsi broke into a smile, looking up at him. "Yes, Young Master Zhong."
