r lips, wanting to smile, but couldn't manage it. Instead, her eyes felt a little sore and watery."How come," she looked so heartbroken for other men, it was infuriating. He let out a cold snort, gri...Yuzuru stiffened, her gaze following the crowd's.

He Hanchuan walked out of the crowd with a faint expression. The sunlight fell on him, and the collar of his shirt cast a shadow at his collarbone, blending abstinence with a hint of sexiness.

She unconsciously looked at the middle of his suit pants. It wasn't clear how badly he was hurt, but if you looked closely, you could see that his gait was unnatural.

"Are you done looking Hmm" He Hanchuan walked straight to Xiang Wan's front, bent down and whispered in her ear.

Toward the end of her sentence, Yue Wan naturally withdrew her gaze and said in a voice only the two of them could hear: "I'm sorry..."

No one knew what the two of them were saying, but they could be seen whispering to each other and acting very intimately.

For a moment, everyone was a little confused.

Didn't people say that Hello and Hualing's relationship was very bad

That doesn't really look like it!

Jiang Qingran bit her lip, unconsciously clenching her hands that rested on the wheelchair.

"Hanchuan, what do you mean by this"

Jiang Mu was stunned for a long moment before reacting, saying in shock and anger, “Yowan almost killed Qingran, you actually invited her to the birthday party”

Xiang Jianguo stared intently at He Hanchuan, lost in thought.

A barely perceptible smirk played on He Hanchuan's lips, a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "Who my mom invites to her birthday party is none of your business, Aunt Lin. Your reach extends far indeed, doesn't it"

"Don't misunderstand, Auntie didn't mean it that way." Even though he was just a junior, Jiang's mother didn't dare to act superior. "Auntie just felt..."

"It's not what Aunt meant." He Hanchuan coldly interrupted her, turned and left, but stopped after two steps.

He glared at the still-standing Xiangwan, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. "Not catching up"

"I'll take my leave then." Xiangwan said softly, raising her foot to leave, but just as she did, she put it back down.

She tugged at her dress, glanced at the crowd, and sneered, "Oh, right, this dress was prepared by Mrs. He, not earned through sleeping with someone. I suggest Miss Jiang and Mrs. Jiang speak with evidence in the future. If it were anyone else, they would probably sue you for defamation."

Everyone looked at each other, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang's faces flushed red and then white, like a palette of colors.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Jiang Qingran put his hands in his lap and apologized sincerely. "I was just worried that you would go astray, please don't mind."

"If I said I minded, I'd probably be called a tit for tat again." Xiang Wan glanced at Xiang Jianguo, whose face was flushed red. Worried that He Hanchuan would get impatient, she quickly followed after him.

Jiang Qingran's pupils reflected the figures of the two walking side by side, her eyes flickering.

"In the future, when you see A-Wan, remember to take a detour. If we're not around, who knows what kind of outrageous and harmful things she might do." Jiang's father warned with a serious expression.

Jiang Qingran sighed and said helplessly, "Dad, how many times have you said this I could recite it by heart."

"All memorized and still not listening" Jiang's mother poked her forehead, then turned to Xiang Jianguo and Jingyun, saying: "I'm telling you, Old Xiang, Jingyun, shouldn't you parents also take good care of your own daughters"

Before either of them could speak, she continued, "Let me say something unpleasant. If that murderer harms my daughter again, I will definitely sue her and have her spend the rest of her life in prison! We don't need to continue our companies' cooperation either!"

“We failed to teach her well, and we caused so much trouble for your family. We are sorry for that. We apologize.”

Toward felt guilty about the national awakening, his spine couldn't even straighten up, "But you also know that our family has long since severed ties with her. I wanted to control her but was powerless, and I hope you can understand."

"Mom, there's still something you want to say" Father Jiang interrupted before his wife could continue. "Let it be, this isn't entirely their fault. Lao Xiang, the CEO of that new materials company we talked about earlier is also here, let's go meet him together."

Everyone responded with a resounding "yes" to the proposal for national construction.

"A Feng, you should come with us too," said Father Jiang.

After the three left, Yijing also found an excuse to leave.

"Qingran, what's wrong with Hanchuan" There was no one else around, and Jiang Mu's face had completely darkened. "Xiang Wan almost killed you, how could he invite her to the banquet"

"I'm not quite sure. But my aunt has always liked Yanan a lot, and not so much me. Maybe she invited Yanan here" Jiang Qingran smiled lightly.

"No matter who invited him, just now Kankawa's way of acting wasn't he supporting Xiang Wan" Jiang's mother frowned, "Could it be that Kankawa has feelings for Xiang Wan"

"You're overthinking it." Jiang Qingran said softly, but there was a hint of uncertainty in her heart.

Jiang Mu squatted down to meet her gaze, "Perhaps I'm not overthinking things. If Han Chuan didn't like Xiang Wan, why would he still not be engaged to you after two years"

Jiang Qingran bit her lip, her eyes dimming.

"Qingran, don't think I'm nagging. Men are all like this, they eat from the bowl while looking at the pot. You have to keep a close eye on Hanchuan, don't let him be seduced by some sly fox spirit one day, and you're still calling her your sister!" Jiang Mu fussed and said.

"Han Chuan is not like that, he's different from Dad." Jiang Qingran regretted the words as soon as they left her mouth and called out softly, "Mom—"

"Your girlfriends are here too, go play with them. I'll go find you some aunts." Jiang's mother had a fleeting look of embarrassment on her face before getting up and leaving.

Jiang Qingran rubbed her aching temples, letting out a barely audible sigh.

On the other side, on the spiral staircase.

Towards the evening, Yelan followed behind He Hanchuan, several times wanting to speak but holding back.

She wanted to say thank you, but she was afraid he would think she was being too forward. She also wanted to ask how his injuries were, but she couldn't bring herself to speak up.

"What are you still following me for" He Hanchuan suddenly stopped and asked nonchalantly.

Towards Evening barely stopped her steps before she bumped into him. Being this close made her feel suffocated, she took a step back, widening the distance between them before saying, "Just now... thank you."

"You think I'm helping you" He chuckled softly, lifting her chin and forcing her to look at him. "I just don't want my mom's birthday party ruined by you."

They were very close, her reflection the only thing in his eyes.

Towards Evening lowered her gaze, suppressing the emotions rising in her heart, “No matter what reason you had for saying those things just now, reality is that you helped me out of a tight spot. I should thank you.”

“If I knew it would help you out of this mess, I wouldn’t have said anything.” Two years ago, her eyes held only passion and adoration, but now there was only world-weariness and exhaustion.

He felt a little off, Ge Hanchuan couldn't explain it. His brows furrowed slightly before he gently released her chin.

At almost the same time, Zhao Yu's teasing voice rang out, "Is my arrival a bit inappropriate"
