BXBX NOVEL Chapter 441 - Tell Me What Is Going On
He sighed. "Our marriage... didn\'t quite happen that normally. We met in some unusual circumstances, and only five months later, we got married. But at that time, we weren\'t in love with each other. We got married because Yueqin needed it. In those five months, I realized she was a good woman in some unfortunate circumstances. I didn\'t find a problem and…" he wryly smiled, "I myself needed an escape from Zongying. Turned out that I needed that marriage too."
Han Huizhong silently looked away as he lowered his gaze.
"So, we didn\'t talk about our past. And at that time only, Guang came to me about being adamant to marrying Han Mingli. Of course, I didn\'t want it to happen. After how I suffered because of Zongying, I didn\'t want anything to do with the Han family nor did I want Guang to get entangled with them. That caused huge disagreements between us. One day, she said that she was pregnant with Han Mingli\'s child, and I was extremely furious with her. She just left, saying that she would marry Han Mingli at any cost. So, I let her go. I was really disappointed and angry with her, so I never told Yueqin about her. It was my way of not acknowledging a sister like her."
He clasped his hands together. "Even regarding Zongying, I did tell her later on about what had happened with me. But I never mentioned her name. I just said that there was once a woman in my life who did that to me. Yueqin respected my privacy, and she didn\'t ask me about that woman\'s identity. Even after Guang got married, the Han family and I stayed separately. That way, Yueqin never got to know about them."
Zizi frowned. "But now, she somehow met Keung, and he must have told him everything about the Han family. And he twisted the facts about how he suffered in this family and got kicked out!"
"It seems so."
An Guoting quickly said, "But even so! Yueqin is not the kind of a woman who will help Keung just because he wants revenge and the Han family business. She is not a fool. She must have definitely figured out what and why must have happened. I trust Yueqin!"
Xinyi peeked a glance at Han Huizhong and then back at An Guoting. "I am not sure but... what if Keung told her about what happened with Caihong seven years back?"
Han Huizhong slightly stiffened.
"If he brainwashed her into taking revenge for Caihong\'s sake as a mother, do you feel Mrs. An would agree to it?"
Silence.
Even An Guoting didn\'t have an answer to that. If Caihong was the case, then suddenly, he couldn\'t be so sure. After all, she was the mother.
How could a mother bear to know about such a horrific incident that happened with her daughter and not retaliate?
Xinyi slowly said, "That\'s why I feel that Mrs. An can be our witness against Keung if we find her and just talk to her. I know she has hurt Zhiyuan, but after talking to her...I didn\'t feel that she was a really bad woman. If she could listen to us and understand us, then I feel she will stand by our side."
An Guoting felt really grateful to Xinyi for her words. "I know, right? We should find Yueqin! She is not unreasonable. She will definitely understand us if we just got a chance to talk to her!"
Yunru and Xinyi shared glances, and he nodded. "I will look into it to see what I can do to find her."
Xinyi\'s phone buzzed, and she saw that it was a call from the hospital.
She quickly picked it up. "Hello?"
"Mrs. Han. Mr. Han Zhiyuan is awake now," The doctor said.
Her eyes brightened. "Really!?"
"Yes. He is asking for you. Can you please come to the hospital?"
"I will. I am coming right now!"
She cut the call and delivered the good news to everyone. "Zhiyuan is awake!"
Xia Liqin gasped. "Ahh finally!" She cried a bit but quickly wiped her tears. "That idiot son made us worry so much!"
Zizi eagerly said, "Let\'s go, let\'s go! I want to meet bro."
---
In the ward, even though the doctor had warned not to crowd the room, nobody listened to him, and they rushed to meet Zhiyuan.
He saw everybody\'s worried faces and weakly chuckled. The oxygen mask was still on his face. "You look as if you all have aged so much."
Zizi glared at him. "Whose fault is that!?"
"I know, I know. It\'s my fault. I am sorry. But I am fine now."
Xinyi was beside him, gently squeezing his hand. "You really scared me, Zhiyuan…"
A tear plopped on his finger, and his heart ached. "I am sorry," he whispered, "I will suffer whatever punishment you give me for making you cry."
"You better do it."
He smiled. "How is Siying?"
"He is with Dad. But he is missing you a lot."
"Tell him I will be back in no time. And then we will play a lot."
Xinyi squinted her gaze. "You are not partying or playing for a long time now, Mr. Han. You need full rest, is what the doctor said."
Zhiyuan weakly waved his hand in dismissal. "The doctor is always so serious. I already feel so energetic. Once I get out of this damn hospital and in our bedroom, I will be even more-"
"*Ahem!* Zizi coughed. "Bro. Keep that stuff till Xinyi only. It\'s too much information."
Xinyi\'s face reddened.
Xia Liqin mumbled. "It\'s all shameless genes gotten by Tian…"
Han Tian - "..."
What did I do? He has definitely got those genes from Dad! He is the epitome of shamelessness in the family!
After talking for a while, everybody left with Xinyi staying beside him.
Zhiyuan asked, "Now tell me what is going on?"
She cleared her throat. "What do you mean?"
"Don\'t try to hide it from me, Xinyi. Everybody looked a little anxious and edgy to me as if something serious had happened.. You have to tell me what it is."
