Chapter 660 - He Could Not Bear to Refuse The Girl’s Request
Chapter 660: He Could Not Bear to Refuse The Girl’s Request
He had been by Han Xiao’s side taking care of him during the two days when he had a high fever.
He grew up with brother Han and knew his personality well.
He kept everything to himself, making him anxious as a bystander.
He had always been quiet, but ever since he returned to Qi Hua, he had become even more silent.
He just wanted to fight for brother Han’s injustice.
He wanted Qin Shu to remember what happened on the mountain, the memories that should have belonged to her.
Qin Shu was stunned on the spot, slowly digesting Hua Wuyan’s words.
“Ask yourself, what kind of person is brother Han, and how he treats you?”
Hua Wuyan glanced at Qin Shu with a complicated look in his eyes. Then, he turned around and left the side hall.
After Hua Wuyan left, only Qin Shu and Fu Tingyu were left in the side hall.
When the man lowered his eyes, he realized that the girl’s expression was bad. He did not bother to ask any more questions. He bent down, carried the girl horizontally, and strode out.
Shi Yan and Yeluo were standing guard outside the flower manor.
When he saw the fourth master carrying Qin Shu out, Shi Yan immediately opened the back seat door.
After the fourth master carried Qin Shu into the car, he closed the door, got in the car, and drove away.
Fifteen minutes later.
In the hotel suite.
Jun Li had been waiting in the hotel the whole time. When he heard the door open, he stood up hurriedly.
Before he took two steps, he saw Fu Tingyu carrying Qin Shu into the room. His calm and gentle eyes were filled with worry. “What’s wrong with her?”
“She’s tired.” The man carried the girl and strode into his room.
Jun Li followed him in.
The man laid the girl flat on the bed. His slender fingers caressed the girl’s temples and tucked her hair behind her ears.
Jun Li stood in front of the bed and looked at Qin Shu. He found that she had lost weight. His eyes were filled with worry and felt sorry for her.
Qin Shu’s eyes were as bright as the stars when she looked at the men in front of the bed. It was only then that she realized that Jun Li came to Qi Hua too. She saw that his eyes were the same as the man. There were obvious dark circles around their eyes. This was because he did not get enough sleep after staying up all night.
When she looked at his face again, it was even paler, like a piece of white paper.
She looked at the two people in front of her and revealed a relieved smile. “I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.”
The man gently caressed the girl’s pale face. His deep magnetic voice had a soothing effect.
“Sleep for a while first. Don’t think about anything.”
How could Qin Shu sleep at this time? “I can’t sleep. I want to go and take a look.”
Fu Tingyu understood what the girl was talking about. She was talking about having a look when Han Xiao being forced into marriage.
When he saw the girl like this, how could he refuse?
“I’ll bring you there.”
While Qin Shu was changing, Jun Li knew about everything that had happened during this period of time from Fu Tingyu, as well as everything that had happened to Han Xiao.
Jun Li pondered for a moment. “I’ll go and have a look too.”
Fu Tingyu glanced at Jun Li. It would not affect him if he went, so he did not reject him.
The three of them went to the Han manor in formal attire.
Fu Tingyu handed over the greeting cards in advance.
At this moment, in the Han Manor.
The Han manor occupied a large area. The venue for the competition was an open space in the manor.
The main seats and guest seats were in the open area.
The Yue, Huo, and Fan family heads, as well as the three daughters, had arrived too. They sat on the guest seats respectively.
Old Master Han sat at the head seat, waiting for Hua Wuyan and Qin Shu to come over.
In the capital of Qi Hua, the four great families, Han, Hua, Yue, and Rong.
With the Han family at the head, the other three families were incomparable to them whether in terms of wealth or power.
The Fan and Huo families were second to the Rong family, and they had a place in Qi Hua too.
Therefore, after the Han and Rong families broke off their engagement, the other families could not hold back and wanted to become in-laws with Han Xiao, who was the head of the four great families.
In fact, it was similar to a political marriage. There were only benefits without any harm for them.
In addition, Han Xiao, who had the title of Qi Hua scholar, whether it was his temperament, look, or ability, was the best among the younger generation.
The women who liked him flocked to him too.
Old Master Han said that the winner would be the young madam of the Han family.
At first, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
However, after waiting for almost an hour, Hua Wuyan and Qin Shu did not come. The atmosphere was awkward.
About half an hour passed.
The heads of the Yue, Huo, and Fan families whispered to each other in confusion.
“Why isn’t she here yet? Is she not giving face to the Han family ?”
“Who dares to act big in front of Old Master Han? Isn’t it obvious that she doesn’t care about Old Master Han?”
“I heard that she’s not from Qi Hua. As for who she is, it seems likes he’s off to a good start.”
The other three daughters also looked at each other, their eyes were filled with doubt.
They admired Han Xiao for a long time, and this was a rare opportunity, so of course, they had to fight for it.
Old Han’s expression became more and more unsightly. The hand that was resting on the armrest of the chair gradually tightened, as if to express his impatience.
Just as everyone was getting impatient from waiting, Lihang pushed Han Xiao and walked over from the side of the cement road.
This open area was a little far from Han Xiao’s courtyard, and it took some time on the way here.
Seeing that Han Xiao arrived, the three daughters revealed their looks of admiration because it was difficult to meet Han Xiao.
Han Xiao’s name was well-known, but he rarely appeared in public.
Initially, regarding the first heir of the Han family, Han Xiao, they only heard of his name and never see him. People in the outside world were very curious about Han Xiao.
There were many bad rumours too.
At the very least, it was said that Han Xiao had an accident or had his face disfigured, so he did not show up.
Some of them were saying that Han Xiao had an incurable disease and was paralyzed in bed. He would soon die.
After the Han family released the news that Han Xiao was studying abroad, the rumours gradually subsided.
In fact, Han Xiao had been abroad all these years. Even if he returned to the country, he would only stay for a few days before leaving.
In grandfather Han’s eyes, it was only because his grandson was young that he so insisted on this matter. After that, he would stop.
However, he did not expect that this wait would last for seven years.
When grandfather Han saw that his grandson came, he remembered that Hua Wuyan and Qin Shu did not come. He had a slight guess in his mind.
Lihang pushed Han Xiao to the front of grandfather Han.
Han Xiao looked up at grandfather Han on the chief seat. His voice was cold and calm. “Grandfather, cancel the competition.”
As soon as Han Xiao finished speaking, everyone was stunned. They all looked at Han Xiao in confusion.
When grandfather Han heard this, he was even more certain of one thing.
“You are the one who didn’t let her come?”
Han Xiao nodded. “Yes, grandfather.”
It was rare that grandfather Han did not reveal a stern expression this time. He thought that his grandson had put it down.
Otherwise, such a good opportunity allowed him to be with the woman he had been looking for for seven years. He had no reason to give up.
“Then do you know that if you don’t let her participate in the competition, one of the three daughters over there will be the young madam of the Han Family?”
Han Xiao looked at his grandfather’s white temples and his face over the years, thinking that he had been carrying the burden of the Han family alone in the past seven years.
And he, who should have shouldered the heavy burden, had never cared about the Han family.
“I am not marrying any of the three of them. If grandfather truly loves me, don’t force me anymore.”
