sister-in-law, so she could only live like a walking corpse... Cowardly, pathetic, shameless, murderer—these labels others imposed on her occasionally pierced her heart, but for someone who had ex...Lu Yanzhen nodded and didn't speak again. Instead, Lu's mother asked, "Medical books are quite dry, can General He read them"

"Just so-so." He Hanchuan wiped the sweat from his nose and walked to Xiangwan, reaching out to her. "It's getting late, you should go back"

向晚 glanced at his hand, then quickly looked away. She stood up. Just as she was about to speak, Liu's room door opened.

"It's only nine o'clock, it's still early." Auntie Liu came out, her round face had put a smile back on. "Mr. He is now Wanwan's boyfriend, can't restrict her freedom either, right"

"Hello, Hanchuan. 'If we were at a bar or KTV, time wouldn't be an issue. But this is Dr. Lu's home, and both Dr. Lu and Dean Ying have to be at work by nine tomorrow morning. We shouldn't stay here too long.' "

"He might not be aware of our usual sleeping schedule," Liu Shu said, her tone laced with gunpowder. "We usually go to bed after midnight, and staying here a little later in the evening doesn't bother anyone."

"Mrs. Lu added, "Mr. He doesn't come here often, so why don't you stay for a while longer before leaving"

"Would you like to stay for a while longer, or leave now" He Hanchuan didn't answer directly this time, but instead turned his head and asked towards the evening.

Xiangwan glanced at Liu Shen, who was now so angry she looked like a celestial monkey about to explode. If you added another spark, she'd go off! “…Let’s just sit for a while longer,”

"Then I'll excuse myself, Mrs. Liu, Dean Ying, and Dr. Lu." A pain shot through his abdomen, causing He Hanchuan's brow to furrow slightly. Then, without making a sound, he sat down on the sofa.

"It's no trouble at all," said Lu's mother with a smile, then brushed her hair behind her ear and said to Lu Yanzhen, "Xiaocen, go make some tea."

Lu Yancen didn't go, but sat down instead. "I did two surgeries today, I'm too tired to move,"

He said it like that, but he looked calm and carefree, not at all like someone who was too tired to move.

"Just showing up without even bringing a little gift, and then asking for tea" Liu's wife sat down on the sofa facing Xiang Wan and He Hanchuan with an air of nonchalance. "There's cold white wine in the kitchen, just go pour yourself some."

Maybe because she was angry, she didn't even give He Hanchuan a shred of sympathy.

Lu's mother, who looked well-preserved, gave a slight, stiff smile. "Xiaocen and his wife are tired, so they might have spoken a bit harshly. They usually talk like this too, don't mind it, Mr. He."

"Not greeting before entering, I was too abrupt." He said.

Mrs. Liu saw him and immediately became angry. She picked a piece of dragon fruit with a clean toothpick, and handed it to Xiang Wan, "Eat more."

Then, he got up and went to the study to make tea with a large red robe. He made a total of four cups, one for each person except Han Chanhua, clearly leaving him out in the cold.

"I can't appreciate tea. I've had this Da Hong Pao for so long, and yet I drink it like chewing peony—a complete waste." Lu Mu pushed her cup of tea towards He Hanchuan, "Good tea should be enjoyed by those who understand it."

He didn't answer. "Thank you for your good intentions, Dean Ying," he said calmly, "but I had tea tonight and can't sleep."

"Just so happened I had something a bit salty for dinner, give it to me." Aunt Liu took the big red robe and gulped down several mouthfuls. Then she slammed the teacup onto the table.

Mrs. Lu wanted to ease the tension, but Lu Yancen and Xiang Wan didn't respond. Aunt Liu directly disrupted the atmosphere, and after a while, the atmosphere became even worse than before.

"Manager He said Wanwan is your girlfriend. How come I remember everyone saying Miss Jiang is going to be engaged to you" Aunt Liu got straight to the point: "Do you want to play around with Wanwan for a while and break up after a while to marry Miss Jiang, or do you want to break off the engagement with Miss Jiang and marry Wanwan"

Before He could answer, she pressed on, "Your mother likes WanWan so much, she hasn't even mentioned having her move in! How would your father and grandfather agree to that!"

Marriages in wealthy families are never simply a matter of two young people. They are the result of power struggles involving various parties, intertwined with numerous interests and hidden agendas.

She saw it very clearly: Don't look at He Hanchuan as the CEO of Heshi Group, usually domineering and arrogant, but in fact, he is just a puppet of Mr. He! The actual person in charge of Heshi Group is still Mr. He!

He Hanchuan wasn't favored by the old man anyway. If he refused the marriage arranged long ago and instead married a "murderer" who had been driven out of the Xiang family, don't even think about continuing as the nominal head of the He Group.

At that time, don't say that Mr. He disagreed. Mrs. He, who loves Wanwan so much, wouldn't ruin her own son's future for an unrelated junior!

He Hanchuan's brow furrowed slightly, imperceptibly. He didn't respond immediately.

He could certainly say some things that Auntie Liu would enjoy hearing, but Yanan was also here. He didn't want to make promises about things he hadn't figured out how to solve yet; that wouldn't be responsible of him towards her.

"What do you mean by staying silent Don't tell me you're planning to marry Jiang Qingran and have Wanwan be your mistress" Aunt Liu slammed her hand on the table, her face dark as she stood up.

Lu Yancen turned his head to glance at Xiang Wan, who remained silent. No wonder she didn't say that He Zong was her girlfriend, but rather her lover.

"Sister-in-law, as for the private matters between President He and Wanwan, I think we should just stay out of it, right" Influenced by Liu's aunt, Lu's mother didn't have a good impression of He Hanchuan.

However, the First Hospital has a lot of high-end equipment sponsored by the He Group, and some patients who can't afford treatment are also helped by the charitable organizations founded by the He Group. She couldn't offend them.

“Private matters” Liu Shn’s voice rose sharply. “Now that Wanwan’s mom and dad don’t care for her, who else should take care of her”

Xiang Wan licked her dry lips, her throat feeling a little tight, "I…"

"Thank you, Aunt Liu, for considering Xiangwan so much. She is fortunate to have such a caring elder like you. But my woman, I love her more than anyone else."

"I was the one who hurt her before, and it was my fault. I can't promise to make A-Wan the happiest woman in the world, but I can promise to do everything I can to protect her." He stood up, looking at Aunt Liu whose face was red with anger.

向晚 clenched her fists tightly, a fierce glint in her eyes. She found his words oddly amusing.

"Protect her with all your might" All her pain was caused by him, and that pain stemmed from just a misunderstanding!

What if he misunderstood her again Would he just pretend today's conversation never happened and continue to torment and humiliate her as if nothing was wrong!

"I'm disturbing you today, it's getting late, I'll take my leave." Xiang Wan tried to act natural, but the frenzy of hatred churning in her heart still made her look unusually gloomy.

She was afraid of being too embarrassing, so she quickly left after speaking.
