Chapter 217
Shu Tian didn't know how she got to the hospital from the villa. She was taken there by ambulance and was like a zombie. She watched Shu Changlei being pushed into the operating room and then being
pushed out, and finally being arranged in a VIP ward.
More dramatically, Jiang Chujing's ward was downstairs, but Li Han hadn't come to Shu Tian for the past three hours.
He didn't care about her anymore.
This thing exposed all his feelings.
Between Jiang Chujing and her, he chose Jiang Chujing without hesitation. Even if Shu Tian's father's heart attacked because of being enraged by Jiang Chujing, he still asked Shu Tian if she had been satisfied reproachfully.
Looking at Shu Changlei, who was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, Shu Tian felt sad, thinking that her efforts recently were ridiculous and pathetic. Seeing Shu Tian's red eyes, Ye Lihua couldn't bear to blame her, walked over and patted her on the shoulder, "Go rest for a while. I'm here to take care of your father."
Shu Tian stared blankly for a while, then raised her hand to wipe her tears. Without saying anything, she got up and left the ward.
She walked all the way to the window at the end of the corridor. The cold wind outside blew in, breaking her disguise and exposing her weakness. Her tears kept falling down, like a broken bead necklace.
A few hours ago, she had been happily telling Shu Changlei that she was going to Li Han's home and introducing her beloved man to her parents with great anticipation. In the blink of an eye, everything changed, making her realize that everything that had happened before was a bubble.
Li Han didn't trust Shu Tian at all.
Shu Tian crossed her arms, cold as if she had been pulled out of the icy cold water. Was she disappointed? It didn't seem to be. She was more than desperate. Li Han was so good at disguising that she hadn't taken Jiang Chujing seriously.
Perhaps Jiang Chujing was right. Shu Tian was the third person between them.
Just as she was in a daze, Ling Junze hurried over, his face full of anxiety, "Shu Tian, uncle is in stable condition. A blood vessel in his heart is blocked because he was ignited. He needs a heart stents surgery later. I've already discussed the plan with his attending doctor. You don't have to be too anxious."
"How much does the surgery cost?" Shu Tian raised her hand to wipe the tears off her face. At this point, she didn't want anyone to see her embarrassment.
"It's doesn't matter. You don't have to worry about medical expenses. We will charge Li Han." In fact, Ling Junze did not intend to charge her, but he was afraid that she would insist on paying, so he said casually.
Li Han?
She was afraid she wouldn't need him anymore.
Shu Tian gave a wry smile silently. After a while, she asked him, "What's going on with Jiang Chujing?"
Ling Junze was in a daze for a moment. He hesitated for a while, thinking about how to reply to her, but Shu Tian said, "Just tell me the truth. I know everything."
Ling Junze sighed, "Not very well. There is water in her lungs, and her blood pressure is unstable. All her body functions don't work well. She needs more observation. The doctors in the United States have already rushed here."
"Have she woken up?"
"Yes, she just woke up." Ling Junze looked at his watch and said exactly, "Ten minutes ago."
Shu Tian nodded and took a deep breath, "I want to visit her downstairs."
Ling Junze was surprised at her request. He wanted to refuse. After all, they must be in a conflict, and if she went now... However, when he saw the deep sadness in her eyes, he could not say anything to refuse.
Well, he still trusted Shu Tian more. It was not an option to stop her. Besides, Li Han was filled with mixed feelings now, so it was good for him and Shu Tian to have a talk.
Ling Junze took Shu Tian to the ward downstairs. Through the door, Shu Tian saw the tall figure sitting by the bed. The man bent down slightly, facing the woman on the bed. Jiang Chujing seemed to have seen them. She slightly raised her hand that was clipped with the instrument but was quickly grabbed by the man's hand.
Shu Tian ate her heart out. As she closed her eyes, Ling Junze knocked on the door just in time. He might be afraid that she would feel worse if she saw more.
Hearing the sound, Li Han turned to open the door, but when seeing Shu Tian, he was shocked. Soon, he regained his senses and asked her in a hoarse voice, "How is uncle?"
Shu Tian's whole heart seemed to have been soaked in sour lemon. The strong acid was corroding her heart bit by bit, making her pained. If this hadn't happened, how comforting and moved would she be when she heard this?
Shu Tian did not dare to think deeply. She just looked over his tall body at the woman in the ward, choked with sobs, and said in a trembling voice, "I have something to say."
Li Han shook inside, flustered for no reason.
"She's not stable yet and can't be freaked. If you want to say something, let's go to the office..."
Shu Tian sneered before he could finish speaking. There was a mist in her big crystal eyes, "Is it inconvenient?"
Then, she nodded and walked to the bench beside her to sit down, "Let's talk here."
Ling Junze wanted her to go to his office, but Li Han stopped him with a look. As an outsider, Ling Junze couldn't say anything more, so he could only leave.
Li Han glanced at the woman sitting upright on the stool and walked over to sit beside her, "Go ahead."
"In the villa, Jiang Chujing stopped my parents and said that she was your childhood sweetheart and your girlfriend and that I was a mistress. What she said was harsh and unpleasant. She insulted me and my parents. My father was enraged and had a heart attack. Nanny Li was there and could testify." Shu Tian said word by word, trying to suppress her anger and sadness.
She just wanted to tell him the truth, whether he believed it or not.
Hearing this, Li Han was somewhat shocked. Although Jiang Chujing always loved him, she had never said it openly.
However, he didn't doubt Shu Tian's words because he didn't know that Jiang Chujing would come back from North Villas today. She should have come back on the next day.
Li Wei did not report her return to him, so there must be a scheme.
It seemed that Jiang Chujing's intention was to meet Shu Tian's parents there.
Shu Tian caught a glimpse of the man's gloomy side face from the corner of her eye. His eyes were elusive and there were incomprehensible emotions. But at this moment, she was not in the mood to speculate but just told him what happened, "I admit that when I saw my father fall to the ground, I was very angry, irritated, and even wished I could kill her. But even if her words provoked me, I just grabbed her neck without the intent to kill her, let alone push her down. I didn't exert any force."
The man's thin lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he held back. Li Han breathed heavily, and his eyes were full of hostility and cold, "Maybe, you just thought you didn't exert force." No matter how unreasonable Jiang Chujing was, she would not put her life at risk. Her whole body was in the water, but she couldn't swim. If there was an accident, she would not see the sun tomorrow. She would never put her life on the line.
Shu Tian slightly raised her head and looked at him, expressionless. She was already numb because of being hurt by him.
His words made her unwilling to explain anymore. She thought it unnecessary. No matter how much you said, it was futile if a person didn't believe you.
She looked at the pair of eyes that had once been gentle, and now there was only cold inside, and her eyes became misty, "So, you don't believe me."
The man turned his face with delicate features slightly as if asking her or himself, "Tell me why did she do this, huh?"
Their eyes met, and they both looked sad. Shu Tian looked away first. She smiled, stood up alone, shook her head, and whispered, "I pushed her. That's right. It's me."
If she couldn't explain, then she could only let him misunderstand her and leave.
