The moment Qin Shu raised her head, Hua Wuyan saw her eyes redden, and the corners of her eyes were faintly discernible.

  He was stunned for a moment.

  If he said he regretted it, he should have regretted it when he went to the capital.

  But from this moment on, not only did he regret it, he blamed himself too.

  Brother Han didn’t want her to know about this because he didn’t want her to feel guilty.

  However, at this moment, he was doing something that made her feel guilty.

  The more Hua Wuyan was silent, the worse Qin Shu’s premonition became. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Can his leg be cured?”


  Hua Wuyan looked at Qin Shu. The word “Can’t” seemed to be stuck in his throat and he could not say it no matter how hard he tried. Looking at Qin Shu’s face that was getting paler and paler, his tightly pursed lips opened. “Yes, I need Brother Han’s cooperation to cure it.”


  Qin Shu seemed to see the hope and asked anxiously, “You mean that his leg can be cured, right?”


  “Yes.” Hua Wuyan thought for a while and said, “It’s just that Brother Han doesn’t want to see a doctor, nor does he want to receive treatment.”


  Qin Shu hurriedly asked, “Why is he not willing to receive treatment?”


  Hua Wuyan said, “Brother Han is so arrogant. As he suddenly became like this, he would become depressed and unwilling to see people.”


  Qin Shu lowered her eyes when she heard that. She thought of Han Xiao who was sitting in a wheelchair. No matter who it was, they could not accept that they could not walk like normal people.

  They were both arrogant people. Their statuses were noble, so their self-esteem was very high.

  Han Xiao was calm and composed. On the surface, nothing could be seen, but in his heart, he would be depressed.

  An outstanding person like him should be in high spirits and not sitting in a wheelchair, daydreaming all day.

  They waited for the car to stop at the entrance of a manor.

  The driver slowed down before stopping the car. After he steadied himself, he opened the car door.

  Hua Wuyan got out of the car.

  Qin Shu pushed the car door open. After she got out, she saw another manor appear in front of her. She now knew that wealthy and powerful families, big families, all preferred manors over villas.

  Especially large families with ancestral roots, they preferred antique gardens.

  Hua Wuyan walked to Qin Shu’s side and turned his head to look at her. “This is my house. You will stay at my house for the time being.”


  “Okay.” Qin Shu responded and followed Hua Wuyan into the house.

  Just as they reached the door, a young man ran out. He was about sixteen years old and had a slender figure. His appearance was very delicate and pretty, but he was slightly immature.

  “Brother, where did you go?”


  Just as the young man finished speaking, he saw the girl beside Hua Wuyan. A hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes as if he had remembered something.

  He suddenly turned around and ran into the manor like a gust of wind.

  As he ran, he shouted, “Mom, brother has brought a girlfriend back for the New Year…”


  Qin Shu:”…”


  “…” Hua Wuyan didn’t have time to explain before he ran away.

  He looked at Qin Shu awkwardly. “He’s my younger brother. He’s always been so crazy when he talks. Don’t mind him.”


  Qin Shu shook her head at him. “It’s fine. He’s quite cute.”


  Cute?

  He was someone who wouldn’t mind a big fuss just to watch a show.

  Hua Wuyan tried to hide his awkwardness. “Let’s go in.”


  Qin Shu nodded and followed Hua Wuyan into the living room.

  Before they reached the living room, a noblewoman walked towards them. Her face was exquisite and well-groomed, making her look like she was only in her thirties.

  She was dressed luxuriously and her hair was tied up, making her look even more dignified and elegant.

  The young man followed beside the noblewoman, his height was half a head taller than the noblewoman.

  The young man pointed at the girl beside Hua Wuyan and whispered in the noblewoman’s ear, “Mom, that’s brother’s girlfriend. He’s been out for so long and he’s kidnapped a girl back.”


  When the lady saw Qin Shu for the first time, her eyes flashed with surprise. Whether it was her appearance or her temperament, she liked this girl.

  Her son had good taste.

  She tilted her head slightly, her demeanour was dignified, and her voice was like an oriole. She didn’t seem to be at her age at all.

  “How can you say that she’s kidnapped? It’s his capability to bring his girlfriend back.”


  The noblewoman said in her heart. What she was afraid of was that he would not bring his girlfriend back.

  The youth chuckled. “I feel like he tricked her to come here.”


  The noblewoman glared at the youth without batting an eyelid. “If you don’t know how to speak, then shut up.”


  The youth curled his lips and did not dare to make a sound.

  When he retracted his gaze and looked at Hua Wuyan and the girl beside him, he smiled kindly. “Wuyan, aren’t you going to introduce her?”


  Hua Wuyan glanced at his younger brother before turning to his mother. “Mother, she’s my friend. Her name is Qin Shu.”


  Following that, he introduced her to Qin Shu. “She’s my mother.”


  Hua Wuyan’s mother was born into a wealthy family. Her surname was Chen and her name was Rui.

  Chen Rui took two steps forward, held Qin Shu’s hand, and walked towards the living room, completely ignoring Hua Wuyan’s existence.

  Chen Rui looked at Qin Shu with a smile. He said that they were friends because she felt embarrassed.

  “Your name is very nice. How old are you this year?”


  Qin Shu glanced at Hua Wuyan. What was going on?

  Hua Wuyan shrugged helplessly.

  She did not forget to reply, “Auntie, I’m 20 this year.”


  Chen Rui smiled and asked, “When did you and Wuyan meet in university?”


  Facing such a warm and kind aunt, Qin Shu answered her questions naturally. “Auntie, we’ve known each other since high school.”


  Hearing this, the smile on Chen Rui’s face deepened. They had known each other for so long, so their relationship must be very good.

  The youth walked to Hua Wuyan’s side and looked at Qin Shu. He asked him curiously, “Brother, where did you get such a beautiful girlfriend?”


  Hua Wuyan paused and raised his hand to knock his brother’s head. “Don’t talk nonsense. She’s not my girlfriend.”


  The young man snorted. “You just keep pretending. If she’s not your girlfriend, why do you bring her home?”


  “I’m too lazy to talk nonsense with you.”


  Hua Wuyan ignored his brother and chased after the two women in front of him. “Mom, she’s getting off the plane today. I’ll bring her to her room to rest.”


  “You’re right.” Chen Rui nodded in agreement. She held Qin Shu’s hand and patted the back of Qin Shu’s hand with her other hand. “Treat this place as your home. Don’t be shy. Just tell me what you like to eat. I’ll get the chef to prepare it.”


  Chen Rui’s voice was pleasant and gentle. Qin Shu, who was nervous initially, was not nervous anymore. She vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

  “Thank you, Auntie,” she thanked her politely.

  “Mom, I’ll take her to rest first.”


  Hua Wuyan pulled Qin Shu’s arm. After saying that, he led her to his courtyard.

  He wanted to settle Qin Shu down first before turning around to explain to his mother.

  In order not to feel awkward, Qin Shu followed Hua Wuyan’s footsteps.

  The Han’s manor was very big. After a few rounds, they finally reached a courtyard.

  Hua Wuyan explained as he walked, “This is my courtyard. Usually, no one comes here.”


  Qin Shu did not care much about where she lived. She turned her head to look at Hua Wuyan. “Wait, I want to ask you something.”
