Chapter 143 -143: So That’s How It Is
The caretaker had made several phone calls in a row, all of them urgently urging He Xing to hurry to the hospital, claiming Xia Ning was completely uncooperative with the doctors.
Eventually, He Xing gave up, “Xiaohan, I need to go to the hospital first. I’ll come back to see you later.”
Fu Han snorted coldly, still ignoring him.
Bai Wei rushed to the peephole, and sure enough, she saw that He Xing had left, cursing angrily, “Are all these men blind or what? Can’t they tell the difference between a good woman and a scheming bitch?”
Fu Han still obediently lay on the sofa, waiting for Bai Wei to apply the ointment: “If they could tell a scheming bitch apart, do you think I would have ended up calling off the engagement?”
“That’s true,” Bai Wei said bluntly, “My mom used to say that you were really lucky to be with He Xing; you wouldn’t really call off an engagement.”
Fu Han’s body stiffened, but the next second she was back to normal.
It was not Bai Wei’s bluntness to blame; Fu Han knew most people thought this way. She couldn’t explain to everyone that it wasn’t the He Family’s background she cared about, but her true feelings for He Xing.
Most importantly, she was no longer the person she had been three years before, someone who would scream and resist the moment they were pricked by a needle; now, she had high self-esteem and wouldn’t fall into self-doubt over a few words from others.
Bai Wei was utterly unaware of what she had said, as she sat beside the sofa disinfecting Fu Han’s wound while continuing to speak, “But after getting to know you, I think you are decisive, capable at work, beautiful, and have a good figure. You are worthy of He Xing.”
Who doesn’t like to be praised, especially when it’s from He Xing’s only cousin?
Fu Han’s mood instantly improved, and she turned around with a smile: “Thank you for your praise, whether it’s for Luo Qinghe’s sake or it’s genuine.”

Bai Wei smiled, then her expression turned solemn again as she looked at Fu Han’s wound and spoke righteously, “If you had told me earlier that Xia Ning was almost tearing off your scalp, I would have definitely beaten her up when I went to find He Xing.”
Fu Han smiled, “Then your brother would probably have beaten you up badly out of distress, and no one would have been there to help you.”
Bai Wei was indignant, her pretty face flushing red with anger, “Are He Xing’s eyes blind? How can he be so nice to that green tea bitch Xia Ning?”
The words sounded as if pearls were falling onto a jade plate, very pleasing; yet they also echoed like the sound of a stone thrown into the water, the final scream of a dying life.
Fu Han detected Bai Wei’s dissatisfaction with He Xing in her words and took a while before choosing her words carefully, “Xia Ning’s mother died trying to save He Xing, so if you were He Xing, could you ignore Xia Ning?”
The room suddenly fell into an eerie silence, as quiet as death.
It took a long time before Bai Wei’s voice could be heard again, “I see.”
Yes, that was it.
When Fu Han first learned of this, the only thought in her mind was those four words.
These four words were filled with intense helplessness, a resignation to the immutable reality, and a reluctant acceptance, with no other options available.
…
Hospital.
When He Xing entered the ward, he was unable to hide his anger. As he drove here, he became more and more convinced that Xia Ning must be copying someone.
So, when he saw the row of blisters under Xia Ning’s left forearm, all his anger turned to guilt for having blamed Bai Wei’s actions on Xia Ning.
Throughout the treatment of the wound, Xia Ning had cold sweat on her forehead that never stopped, and tears streamed down like broken beads, but she endured without crying out.
He Xing’s arm was tightly gripped by her. Through his clothing, he could clearly feel his arm being scratched raw, but He Xing did not frown, silently enduring it.
Finally, all the blisters had been lanced, and the doctor applied ointment and bandaged Xia Ning’s arm.
He Xing followed the doctor out, asking if Xia Ning’s arm would scar.
A few minutes later he returned, giving Xia Ning a smile: “Don’t worry, I’ve had the doctor use the best medication on you. There won’t be any scars.”
“Thank you,” Xia Ning nodded, her eyes still red, “I’m sorry, I know Fu Han was hurt, I shouldn’t have called you here, but I was really scared without you.”
He Xing handed Xia Ning a cup of warm water, “Don’t think too much, I’m not angry.”
“Really?” Xia Ning’s eyes suddenly brightened, and she immediately put on a sweet smile, “Thank you so much, Brother He Xing. I’m lucky to have you; otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do by myself.”
The feeling of irritation rose again in He Xing’s heart. He hesitated before he finally spoke slowly, “Xia Ning, Fu Han’s wound hasn’t been treated yet, I must go back and check on her. You should get a good night’s sleep, and I’ll come see you tomorrow.”
Xia Ning’s eyes widened in an instant. For a moment, the hatred in her eyes was almost impossible to conceal, but the next second, she burst into tears, “Daddy, Mommy, where are you? Xiaoning misses you so much, I wish you could come and keep me company. Xiaoning is scared alone in the hospital.”
He Xing’s heart felt as if it were crushed under a massive stone; even if he had grown wings, it seemed impossible for him to move at all.
That restless night, almost nobody could sleep.
Even Xia Ning was no exception. He Xing did stay with her, but he refused to stay in the ward, eventually just taking an extra blanket from the nurse station and making do on a chair outside the ward for the entire night.
…
The next day, He Xing indeed got up early to buy breakfast and went back to the hotel to find Fu Han, and to avoid Bai Wei saying anything, he also brought a breakfast for her.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed. Not only was Fu Han’s room empty, but Bai Wei’s room was also unoccupied, and to make matters worse, both of them had blocked He Xing’s number.
Eventually, after contacting the director, He Xing found out where Bai Wei was. When he found Fu Han in the makeup artist’s room, she and Bai Wei were having breakfast, purchased by Luo Qinghe.
Although He Xing felt awkward, he still brought in the breakfast he bought.
What he received in return was Bai Wei’s lukewarm response, “Director He, thanks for buying us breakfast, but we’ve already eaten. You can give your cold breakfast to the hospital’s Miss High-and-Mighty; she certainly won’t mind it.”
There weren’t many people in the makeup room but still a significant number, including other artists, assistants, and makeup artists. Although no one ogled He Xing overtly, there was eager non-verbal communication among them.
Unable to keep face, He Xing left without a word after Bai Wei’s mockery.
Xia Ning was on the phone again, urging him to return to the hospital, saying the doctor needed to discuss something with the patient’s family, and asking He Xing to hurry over.
Liang Tao had already arrived in H City, and he accompanied He Xing to the hospital. On the way, the two of them spoke no more than ten words to each other.
