Chapter 227
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere in the study suddenly became tense. Both of them knew what the problem was, but the problem seemed to be a dead end. Shu Tian broke away from such a tense atmosphere first. She looked away and lowered her head to smile. "You can't do it, can you? I don't want you to..."
"Yes." Li Han interrupted her and then added, "But I'll get someone to send her back after she recovers."
"After she recovers?" Shu Tian shook her head and her voice was very soft as if she were talking to herself. "How could she recover so easily?"
If that was the case, Jiang Chujing would also do something to get sick again.
"Let's break up." In the end, she still said this sentence. "It's not good for you, me, and Jiang Chujing. I don't have the energy and confidence to continue such a relationship." She was disappointed with this relationship.
"I told you, it's impossible to let you go. If you're determined to leave, you can..." Li Han paused and his thin lips twitched. "Just try and see if you can leave J City."
Shu Tian's heart sank and her eyes widened. "You're threatening me?!"
"I'm not threatening you. I just want to keep you by my side." If there was any way else, he wouldn't have taken such a method.
"Li Han, it will only make me regret meeting you."
Every word of hers was a knife that fell on his heart. She didn't feel it, but he was already numb from the pain. There was a hint of sadness in his deep eyes, and he didn't want anyone to see it. He pretended to be calm. "Even so, I won't let you leave, Shu Tian. I told you, I can't live without you."
Hearing that, Shu Tian knew that it would be a waste of effort to continue. She nodded, but there was not much agreement in her expression. "Well, then we will torture each other like this. There will always be a day when you can't stand it."
She would act as an emotionless puppet doll, and she didn't believe that a proud man like Li Han could stand it.
Li Han hated to hear her say such words, but if he really had a choice, even if he tied her up here, he would not agree her to leave.
"No way. I promise you that this won't happen again. It's impossible for you to leave."
Shu Tian was already disgusted by this sentence. She took a step back and distanced him again. "I'll pay the medical bills, and you don't have to pay it. I've already thought about resignation, so I hope you can approve it as soon as possible."
Her attitude was firm. Li Han believed that even if he did not approve, she would not go to the company again.
A conversation ended in nothing. There was not much conversation between the two of them. It was not that they didn't want to say anything, but that they had nothing to say. Li Han now understood how much she wanted to leave.
But it's futile.
He couldn't stop it, and he could only hope that Jiang Chujing would get better soon.
[...]
On the contrary, Jiang Chujing had the opposite idea. When she came back from abroad this time, she did not plan to leave. Now that such a thing had happened, Li Han would definitely hold complaints of her even if he did not say it, so she had to speed up her plan.
Fortunately, when she was recuperating in the hospital, she heard from Jiang Mengyao that Zhang Lancheng was in danger. Although Zhang Lancheng had been in a state of brain death before, she had recently suffered from cerebral hemorrhage and atrophy. The hospital was ready to inform her family.
"Li Han will know the news soon. What are you going to do?" Jiang Mengyao's low voice came from the phone.
The hospital was not like home. Jiang Chujing was very careful to make sure that no one was eavesdropping and then she spoke. "Keep it quiet and keep your eyes on him. Let me know when Li Han makes a move."
"Am I going to wait again?"
"There's something wrong here. I'm in the hospital now, but although it was an accident, it's relatively better for our situation. Shu Tian is almost unbearable now." Jiang Chujing reassured her. "You don't have to worry. I have a plan. Just do as I say."
"This is the hospital and there are so many people here. It's inconvenient for me to be here. If I'm found out..."
"Be careful. Nothing can go wrong at this juncture." Jiang Chujing scolded Mengyao in a heavy tone. After saying that, she was afraid that Jiang Mengyao would rebel, so she added slowly, "Don't worry, I won't let you wait too long."
"Okay." Jiang Mengyao wanted to say something more when the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open and the nurse's friendly voice came.
"Miss Jiang, it's time for a blood test..."
"Someone's here. I won't tell you more, and I'll keep you updated." After that, Jiang Chujing hung up the phone. She hid the phone in her sleeve, looked at the mirror, and adjusted her expression before walking out.
In front of others, she looked innocent again.
"I just went to the bathroom. Come on."
[...]
Shu Tian's resignation report was not approved by Li Han, and he just suspended her. He knew that Shu Tian was as stubborn as him. Once she had decided, it was difficult to change her mind, but he still had a glimmer of expectation in his mind.
As long as he didn't approve it, she would still be his employee, which made him feel more comfortable.
The last conversation not only did not resolve the conflict between them, but also escalated it. Shu Tian was busy taking care of Shu Changlei, and Li Han was busy with business and Jiang Chujing's illness. It was not easy for him to make time, but Shu Tian ignored him completely.
Several times late at night, Li Han drove from the Imperial Villa and didn't even go into the building of the inpatient department. He just parked the car downstairs and watched the lights in Shu Tian's ward. Then he lit a cigarette and smoked quietly without doing anything.
Ling Junze scolded Li Han several times for being too ponderous. Li Han loved Shu Tian. So why didn't he speak it out and apologize?
Was it that difficult?
Actually, it wasn't difficult.
It was just that the problem between them could no longer be alleviated by an apology.
The problems had accumulated for a long time. Li Han didn't expect such a serious consequence to happen, but it happened. Perhaps it was a mistake to allow Jiang Chujing to return home.
Li Han thought that he was also a jerk to her and did everything he really shouldn't do, it was not Shu Tian's fault for being so resistant to him now.
However, Shu Tian did not know what Li Han had done, nor was she in the mood to think about it. And her only wish was that Shu Changlei could be discharged as soon as possible. Fortunately, Shu Changlei recovered well and could go home to rest after the second week of the operation.
The attending doctor suggested going to the rehabilitation building for health training, but considering the cost and convenience, Shu Changlei still wanted to go home.
Although Ling's Hospital was good enough and it's well-equipped, it was not as relaxing as home.
On the day Shu Changlei was discharged from the hospital, Shu Tian went to pay the bill but was told that she could not pay. On second thought, she understood that it was Li Han's order. He had said before that he would pay it, but now...
Shu Tian clenched the medical bill in her hand and turned to walk towards the dean's office. She didn't want to talk with Li Han, then it was the same to go to Ling Junze.
Walking through the long corridor, she stood at the largest office door on this floor, and she found the words "Dean's Office" on the door plate above her head.
Shu Tian raised her hand and was about to knock on the door when she suddenly heard a bang inside.
Her hand that was about to fall stopped. She was not eavesdropping on purpose, but there was really a loud noise inside. Just as she was hesitating whether to knock on the door, the door, which was close to her fingertips, suddenly vibrated, as if something inside had pressed against it.
But Shu Tian soon knew what it was because...
"Ling, Ling Junze, this is the office. What are you doing..." A woman's annoyed and coquettish voice came through the door.
"What do you think I'm doing?" The man's voice was low and he was panting.
Both voices were familiar. When Shu Tian heard the sound, she immediately knew that they were Ling Junze and Tian Sangsang. But... Why were they together?
