Chapter 580: Don’t Go (II)
Han Xuehan was very angry. She had been waiting, waiting and waiting. She even told Han Ziyan to bring Han Yichen back home as soon as possible. However, this girl did not listen to her. What was even more shocking was that she actually refused to bring Han Yichen home. Just now, she heard her father insist that he wanted to go back home and yet Han Ziyan kept dawdling.
One look at their father and Han Xuehan knew that he was not feeling well.
How could Han Ziyan not see it? Why did she refuse to bring their dad back home? Glaring at her, she said angrily, “Han Ziyan, tell me, what do you want to do? Dad is not feeling well, and you can see that, too. So why are you refusing to let him go back home? Just what do you want to do?”
Han Ziyan stammered; she had never expected to be found out. This was, after all, an abandoned park, and no one came here, but who would have thought that Han Xuehan would actually come looking for her here? This was really surprising and quite a blow to her good plan. “I…I just wanted to spend time with Dad after what had happened…we have hardly talked. Is it so wrong to bring him outside and chat with him a little?”
Hearing her response, Han Xuehan was speechless. She looked at Han Ziyan, whose eyes were already red with tears, and she could not help but glare at the woman. She realised that she was not a match for this woman, so she turned her attention to her father and said to him calmly while suppressing her anger, “Dad, come with me. I will take you home.”
As she spoke, she reached out and took Han Yichen’s hand into hers. But to her surprise, as soon as she helped Han Yichen up, Han Ziyan reached out and stopped her. “Eldest sister, I… I still want to talk with Dad. Why don’t you let him stay with me a little longer?”
“What is wrong with you?” Though Han Xuehan’s temper was good, she could not help but frown in annoyance. She looked at Han Ziyan with a hint of frustration in her eyes, and she could not help but ask, “Just what are you trying to do? If you want to talk with Dad, then you can talk to him at home. Why do you insist that he stay with you in the park? And that, too, in this park. Do you not know that coming here is considered unlucky? Dad is recovering from a major surgery, and you brought him here. What are you even planning to do?”
Han Xuehan thought that Han Ruochen was thinking too much when she said that there was a good chance that she would find their dad in this park. After all, this park was almost sealed off after someone died, but because the fishing village was too small, no one paid attention to this park, nor did anyone go to the county to report it. Instead, they started avoiding this park altogether. And yet Han Ziyan brought their dad to such a place.
People warded off bad luck, but why did it seem like this woman was bent on inviting bad luck for their family? Injured people attracted evil spirits faster than anyone!
What kind of intentions did Han Ziyan have for bringing their father to such a place? Han Xuehan was terrified even thinking about it.
“Eldest sister, you are wronging me unjustly!” cried Han Xuehan. In her heart, she was cursing the abandoned woman for causing trouble for her. She was a married daughter, and a married daughter was like spilled water; what was Han Xuehan doing, questioning her for no reason? However, she still suppressed her anger and said in a soft, wronged voice, “Sister, I did not mean anything, I swear. I was just…I was just missing Dad and wanted to talk to him without being judged. But I was also worried that he would bump into someone in the park where everyone goes, so I brought him. It’s not like I wanted to harm him. I just wanted some alone time with my dad.”
If it were the past, Han Yichen and Han Xuehnan would have been fooled, but after seeing Han Ziyan’s attitude in the hospital, they knew that the woman was lying. If she really wanted to talk with Han Yichen, she could have talked with him in the hospital, but she kept to herself the entire time. But now she was insisting that she wanted to spend some time with Han Yichen. This was the kind of talk that they could not believe at all.
“Dad’s tired.” Han Xuehan ignored the tears in Han Ziyan’s eyes and made a move to walk away with Han Yichen. “I will take him back home first. If you want to talk with him, you can do so in the evening. I will talk with Ruochen first; she will not say anything to you.” Han Xuehan was still softer-tempered than others, so even though she did not trust Han Ziyan, she did not call her out. Instead, she gave her a way out.
But who would have thought that Han Ziyan did not want it!
Instead, she stepped forward to tug Han Yichen back. “Dad, don’t go; stay with me.” She was really worried. If Han Yichen returned home and caught Meng Yunhan before she could steal money, then there would be no end to this matter. As long as Meng Yunhan stole that money, they would be able to push the blame on other villagers, but if she was caught, then there was no point!
What’s more, even she would be dragged down by her mother.
That foolish woman! She even told her to hire a few men and then steal that sum of money, but she refused. Now look at the mess that happened.
“You…”
