Chapter 628 - Guilt, Remorse, and Felt Sorry
Chapter 628: Guilt, Remorse, and Felt Sorry
Qin Shu looked out of the car window. As Han Xiao said, it was not snowing here, and the weather was warm.
The down jacket she was wearing had been taken off when she boarded the plane. She was only wearing a light blue sweater and did not feel the cold at all.
Qihua was a place suitable for a winter vacation.
No wonder it was the best choice for a winter vacation spot.
The journey was silent.
When the car stopped in front of a manor, Qin Shu turned her head to look out the window. It was a manor that was no less imposing than Sheng Yuan. Even if she didn’t enter, she could tell that its structure was magnificent.
Hua Wuyan pushed the car door open and walked over. He opened the car door. “Qin Shu, we’re here.”
Qin Shu took a look at Hua Wuyan and got out of the car. She looked at the Han Manor. This time, she could see it even more clearly. Its appearance was slightly different from Sheng Yuan. This manor had some modern designs, while Sheng Yuan was in ancient design It made people as if they had travelled back in time by just looking at it.
Just by looking at this manor alone, one could tell that Han Xiao’s Han family, was not comparable to ordinary wealthy families in terms of their power or wealth.
Just as Qin Shu was sizing up this manor, a man wearing a black and blue tang suit walked out of the manor. He was about forty years old and was the butler of the Han Manor.
The butler glanced at the woman beside Hua Wuyan and a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes. He retracted his gaze and nodded. “Young Master Hua is here. I’ll send someone to inform young master.”
Hua Wuyan had grown up with Han Xiao since young. The Hua and Han families were family friends, so their relationship was very good.
The Butler had watched them grow up together too.
Hua Wuyan rejected him directly. “There’s no need. I’ll go find him myself.”
He turned his head to look at Qin Shu. “Let’s go.”
“Okay.” Qin Shu acknowledged and followed Hua Wuyan in.
The Butler did not think too much about it. After walking in, he busied himself with his matters.
Hua Wuyan had come countless times to Han Manor. Even with his eyes closed, he could find Han Xiao’s residence accurately.
Qin Shu sized up the Han manor along the way. From the outside, it looked imposing. From the inside, the decoration was luxurious, exuding an air of grandeur.
Occasionally, a few maids would pass by on the way. They would raise their heads to look at her and Hua Wuyan a few times before leaving with a smile on their lips.
Needless to say, it was because of Hua Wuyan’s good looks.
Very few men would grow long hair that would not affect their appearance. On the contrary, they showed a different kind of handsomeness from others.
Hua Wuyan was more like a person who had walked out of a painting. He had a classical sense of beauty, especially his waist-length hair and his beautiful figure.
Hua Wuyan was used to it. He brought Qin Shu directly to Han Xiao’s residence.
After passing through the long corridor and a few moon cave doors, Hua Wuyan suddenly slowed down his pace. In the end, he stopped and looked at Han Xiao in the pavilion in the back garden.
As usual, he pushed his wheelchair and stayed in the pavilion. He looked at the garden full of flowers, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Qin Shu also stopped and followed Hua Wuyan’s line of sight. She saw a person sitting in a wheelchair in the pavilion. Just by looking at the side profile, she knew that this person was Han Xiao. She widened her eyes and stared at the person in the wheelchair in disbelief for a long time.
Normal people would not sit in a wheelchair.
So, Han Xiao…
She looked at Han Xiao’s leg and did not react for a moment.
Perhaps subconsciously, she did not wish for what she saw to be true, not to mention that Han Xiao was sitting in a wheelchair.
But no matter how much she did not want to believe it, the truth was the truth.
Han Xiao left suddenly because of his leg?
His leg was injured because of the accident in Mianxia?
Hua Wuyan turned his head to look at Qin Shu. When he saw the expression on her face, he could roughly guess what she was feeling at that moment.
Guilt was unavoidable.
This was within his expectations.
If he had no other choice, he would not be willing to do this.
Qin Shu stared at Han Xiao’s profile. During this period of time, Han Xiao had lost some weight. He was cold and didn’t speak much. At this moment, he was like an ice sculpture. He was expressionless, and his entire body exuded a coldness that kept others at a thousand miles away.
She looked at him for a long time and realized that there was no one around Han Xiao. He didn’t move at all, as if he was completely immersed in his world.
At this moment, Han Xiao, who was in a wheelchair, moved. He reached out to the round table at the side to get the phone on it. However, he bumped into a tissue on the side and it fell from the round table.
He gave up on getting the phone and bent down to pick up the tissue on the ground. Because he was a little far away, he did not get it for the first time. He sat up straight and turned the wheelchair. After pulling the distance between them, he bent down again.
He did not even have a maid by his side to serve him.
Seeing this, Qin Shu was about to walk over to help him when her arm was grabbed by someone. She looked at Hua Wuyan in confusion, not understanding why he wanted to stop her. Didn’t he bring her here to let her know about Han Xiao’s leg injury?
Hua Wuyan grabbed her arm and did not say anything. Instead, he pulled her out of the courtyard.
Qin Shu was forced to follow Hua Wuyan out.
Hua Wuyan didn’t say a word.
After they walked out of the Han manor, he said, “Didn’t you notice that there wasn’t even a maid in brother Han’s Courtyard?”
Qin Shu looked at Hua Wuyan.
Hua Wuyan continued, “The last thing brother Han needs is for others to help him. That would make him feel like a cripple.”
Qin Shu was stunned. No wonder she did not see a maid just now. So, Han Xiao relied on herself for everything he did?
She could not imagine that a person who sat in a wheelchair relied on himself to take care of his life.
For someone like Han Xiao who had a strong personality and was arrogant, the last thing he wanted was for others to help him no matter what, no matter when.
This was very similar to men. Although their personalities were somewhat different, they were all arrogant.
Her heart was suddenly pulled hard. There were other emotions other than guilt.
She felt sorry for Han Xiao.
If it weren’t for her, Han Xiao wouldn’t have taken the risk to enter the Elway Business Building and wouldn’t have helped her go up to the 13th floor to look for Fu Tingyu.
Then he wouldn’t have been hurt so badly.
After getting into the car, Hua Wuyan’s brows were tightly knitted together. He pursed his lips as if he was deep in thought.
Qin Shu’s emotions were very complicated at this moment. She had yet to recover from Han Xiao’s leg injury.
As the car sped along, she had no time to care about where the car would go and where Hua Wuyan would take her.
Hua Wuyan suddenly said, “I don’t need to tell you, you’ve guessed that Han Xiao’s leg was injured in MianXia.”
“It’s all because of me. If it wasn’t for me, his leg wouldn’t have been injured.” Qin Shu couldn’t describe her regret. She was afraid at that time, so she couldn’t care about anything else.
If she hadn’t suddenly run away in front of them, they wouldn’t have followed her to Mianxia.
Not only did she cause Jun Li to suffer such serious injuries, but she also caused Han Xiao’s leg to be injured.
Hanxiao’s Leg?
She suddenly looked up at Hua Wuyan. “What did the doctor say? Can his leg be cured?”
