Volume One, Chapter 19: Su Wanyue Has Met with Trouble

What?

I was terrified!

How could a dead person like me be at the airport? That was pure nonsense!

But my grandmother’s eyes shone brightly as she stared intently at Fu Hanzhou, afraid to miss a single word.

“Xing’er really came back? Then hurry up and bring her home!”

Fu Hanzhou nodded and sped off as soon as he left the door.

I looked at my grandmother’s expectant eyes and sighed deeply.

How heartbreaking it would be if she waited in vain for my return.

Just the thought of it filled me with guilt.

Fu Hanzhou’s cold expression softened slightly when he heard I was at the airport.

He must have thought I had come back to admit my mistakes.

In the past, whenever we argued, I was the one who always backed down and came back after a few days of sulking. Today was already the seventh day.

Fu Hanzhou believed he had me completely under control, his face full of arrogance.

Judging by his expression, he was probably imagining the scene where I would apologize to him.

Before I knew it, we arrived at the airport.

The airport was crowded, but he didn’t get out of the car.

His car was the one I knew best—it was the car I bought.

He waited arrogantly, expecting me to get in on my own.

However, even after the crowd at the airport had thinned, I still hadn’t appeared.

His heart skipped a beat.

An uneasy feeling crept over him.

He called me, but there was no answer.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is not available…”

Fu Hanzhou’s smile froze on his face, dark clouds gathering ominously around him.

I sat in the passenger seat, watching people come and go outside, yawning from boredom.

Fu Hanzhou was completely unsettled!

He waited at the airport for two hours only to be played for a fool. Anyone would feel bad about that.

In a fit of anger, he drove back to the Su family estate.

He didn’t even consider any other possibilities; he simply believed I had deceived him.

I had no way to explain my suffering.

I was dead—I couldn’t speak—but what about the killer?

Why had he called Fu Hanzhou out?

This mystery was finally solved when I returned to the Su family estate!

There was a pool of blood at the entrance of the Su residence.

I was stunned!

Who was injured?

Was it someone from the Su family? Or was it the killer?

Fu Hanzhou hesitated for a moment, then rushed into the Su estate.

The moment Su Wanyue saw him, she burst into tears!

“Brother Hanzhou!”

Everyone present treated Fu Hanzhou like a righteous avenger, coming to him with complaints!

Especially Su Rong, who looked at me with pure disgust whenever my name was mentioned.

“Hanzhou, we’ve all been deceived! Tang Xing deliberately lured you away so she could take the chance to hurt Wanyue. She’s utterly despicable!”

Hearing that Su Wanyue was injured, Fu Hanzhou, usually calm and composed, lost all his composure at that moment.

“Wanyue, you’re hurt?”

Su Wanyue slowly lifted her head, her voice full of grievance and meekness: “Sister Tang Xing was just angry. Don’t blame her; if anyone’s to blame, it’s me for having such bad luck. I shouldn’t have come back to the Su family.”

“So it was her! She deliberately lured me away to leave Wanyue vulnerable! Her ultimate goal was to attack you! Tang Xing, you’re so ruthless—you even hurt a pregnant woman!”

Su Rong had completely lost patience with me. She had been worried about me earlier, but now she was openly cursing.

“Tang Xing, I’m so disappointed in you! How could you harm your own junior sister?”

A torrent of accusations and slanders was hurled at me without a shred of evidence.

Grandmother’s face darkened as she stood up for me, her sharp gaze sweeping over everyone present: “Who here has any proof that Xing’er did this?”

Su Rong thought Grandmother was biased toward me and stepped forward, pleading on behalf of Su Wanyue: “Clan Leader, you saw it yourself. The person who attacked was bribed by Tang Xing to target Wanyue, all to make her lose the baby. How could you protect such a venomous woman?”

Grandmother sneered coldly: “I may be old, but my heart remains sharp. I see through everything clearly.”

“What do you mean?”

Su Rong was puzzled.

Grandmother said, “I plan to report this matter to the police and let them uncover the truth. Wanyue, what do you think?”

Su Wanyue’s face turned pale. She had hoped to use this incident to gain sympathy and ruin Tang Xing’s reputation, but she hadn’t expected the clan leader to call the police.

Her face drained of color, and she lowered her head guiltily, biting her lip as she weakly looked toward Fu Hanzhou: “Brother Hanzhou~”

Su Wanyue, with her delicate appearance and pitiful expression, stirred Fu Hanzhou’s heart deeply.

He stepped forward and shielded Su Wanyue in his arms.

“No need to investigate! The mastermind behind this is Tang Xing!”

I was stunned!

Fu Hanzhou believed Su Wanyue without even checking the facts, condemning me outright!

Grandmother immediately rejected this without hesitation!

“That’s impossible. Xing’er isn’t that kind of person!”

Fu Hanzhou sneered coldly: “She deliberately lured me away just now to leave Wanyue vulnerable. That’s the best evidence!”

With Fu Hanzhou’s reminder, everyone present began to murmur.

“I wondered why Tang Xing suddenly sent Hanzhou to the airport. Turns out she had ulterior motives!”

“Tang Xing is so vicious. How could such a woman be worthy of Hanzhou?”

“If you ask me, Hanzhou and Wanyue are truly meant to be!”

The crowd’s accusations surged like a tidal wave.

I trembled all over, shaking my head desperately: “It wasn’t me! It really wasn’t me! Mom, don’t believe Su Wanyue’s words!”

Su Rong shouted, “If I see Tang Xing, I’ll make her kneel and apologize to Wanyue!”

Tang Yu said, “Exactly! I want her to know what it feels like to be stabbed!”

Tang Feng asked, “What about you, Hanzhou?”

My pupils constricted as I looked toward Fu Hanzhou.

What would he do?

“I’ll have the divorce papers prepared. I want to divorce her as soon as possible.”

Boom—

Those words struck like thunder on a clear day!

I forced a bitter smile and shook my head: “Fu Hanzhou, Fu Hanzhou, am I really that kind of person in your eyes? Or have I always been so despicable to you?”

After so many events, Su Wanyue had become the focal point of everyone’s protection.

Looking at Su Wanyue’s pitiful appearance, I finally understood why I was losing.

In front of Fu Hanzhou, I was always stubborn, insisting on doing everything myself, never learning to show weakness like Su Wanyue.

Showing vulnerability before my parents, showing vulnerability before Fu Hanzhou.

It turned out tears were the most effective weapon for a woman against a man.

But I also understood that in Fu Hanzhou’s eyes, Su Wanyue was the woman he truly cared about.

To him, my tears were worthless!

At that moment, I seemed to let go.

Grandmother, however, was furious at the crowd and fainted!

“Madam!”

“Clan Leader!”

The old steward and Tang Feng were both panicked as they watched Grandmother collapse.

If the clan leader fell ill in the Tang family, the other branches would surely tear him apart!

Their faces turned pale as they hurriedly took Grandmother to the hospital.

Everyone followed, and I went along to the ward.

When Grandmother came out, it was already two in the morning.

“Clan Leader, are you alright?” Tang Feng was deeply shaken.

Grandmother glared at him in anger.

“Get lost!”

She had just had a nightmare in which she saw Xing’er being murdered!

Xing’er was bleeding and crying for help!

And she was powerless to save her!

“Where is Xing’er?” Grandmother asked involuntarily.
