Chapter 564: Chapter 565 You Don’t Have This Qualification
Upon hearing these words, Su Changfeng’s expression showed a hint of tension. Shen Hanxue hadn’t returned home and wasn’t answering her phone. Could something have happened? But he had sent someone to secretly protect Shen Hanxue, so if something had happened, he should already know.
"I really wasn’t with Han Xue. Have you contacted Lin Qingmeng?" Su Changfeng said. The two sisters usually played together, so maybe she’s playing at Lin Qingmeng’s house and lost track of time.
Sun Mei furrowed her brow, convinced they were together. But from Su Changfeng’s attitude, it seemed he genuinely didn’t know where Shen Hanxue was.
"I called Lin Qingmeng earlier. She said Yingxia left the group after getting off work and wasn’t with her," Sun Mei said.
"Don’t worry. I’ll contact some other people," Su Changfeng said. Zhu Lie’s men were secretly protecting Shen Hanxue; they should know where she went.
"Su Changfeng, if anything happens to Shen Hanxue, it must be related to you. You must find Han Xue tonight, or I won’t let you off!" Sun Mei said angrily. Shen Hanxue had no enemies, so if she was captured, it must relate to Su Changfeng. Thus, Sun Mei blamed Su Changfeng without hesitation.
Su Changfeng didn’t reply and simply hung up the phone.
"Dial Zhu Lie’s number for me," Su Changfeng said gravely to Yue Qingshan.
"Could it be Ye Qingcheng?" Yue Qingshan asked Su Changfeng while dialing.
Su Changfeng said nothing. No matter who it was, anyone who posed a threat to Shen Hanxue wouldn’t be tolerated, not even a Heavenly Immortal Daluo.
After the call connected, Zhu Lie first said, "What are you doing idling around at the hospital at this hour? Why contact me instead of resting?"
Zhu Lie’s tone was particularly nonchalant, but Su Changfeng could detect an intentional pretense, as if concealing something.
"Zhu Lie, where is Han Xue?" Su Changfeng asked coldly.
When Zhu Lie saw Su Changfeng calling him, a sense of foreboding instantly arose. However, everything happened so suddenly. Why would Su Changfeng, who was lying in a hospital, find out about this?
"Rest assured, I’ve already sent people outside to look for her," Zhu Lie said. Since Su Changfeng already knew, he couldn’t keep it from him any longer and had to be honest.
"Do you think I can be reassured?" Su Changfeng asked.
"I will find the younger sister-in-law immediately; I won’t let Han Xue suffer a bit of harm. But you need to rest in your current condition. Trust me, I’ll handle it. Don’t you believe in me?" Zhu Lie said.
Though Su Changfeng trusted Zhu Lie, he couldn’t let go since he didn’t know Shen Hanxue’s whereabouts.
But Su Changfeng also understood his situation. In his current health status, he couldn’t leave the hospital. Even if he did, it wouldn’t necessarily be helpful.
"If you hear anything, contact me immediately," Su Changfeng said.
"Okay, don’t worry. I’ll inform you as soon as I hear anything."
Just after the call ended, the phone rang again.
Yue Qingshan glanced at the call from Sun Mei and asked, "Should I answer?"
Su Changfeng nodded.
As soon as the call connected, Sun Mei’s angry shout came through the phone, "Su Changfeng, you bastard, you must be happy to see Han Xue endangered."
"If it weren’t for you, Han Xue wouldn’t be in any danger. It’s been so many years, and you still haven’t realized; you’re a jinx!"
"Did the Shen Family owe you in the previous life, or did we desecrate your family’s ancestral grave? Why do you treat the Shen Family this way?"
"Coward! Why don’t you just die? Only if you’re dead will nobody else be dragged down."
Hearing these harsh words, Yue Qingshan hung up without waiting for Su Changfeng’s consent.
Even as an outsider, Yue Qingshan couldn’t bear to listen any longer.
Su Changfeng had suffered humiliation in the Shen Family for three years, yet had brought countless benefits to them. Without Su Changfeng, where would Sun Mei have the right to live in the Mountain Villa, or live a leisurely and luxurious life? Yet Sun Mei, this woman, never remembered and always saw Su Changfeng as an outsider.
"You don’t need to pay attention to such a woman," Yue Qingshan said.
Su Changfeng shook his head and sighed, "Sun Mei is right. If it weren’t for me, Han Xue wouldn’t be in danger. Everything is my fault."
"But haven’t you given many benefits to the Shen Family? They used to live in a run-down complex without an elevator. If it weren’t for you, Sun Mei wouldn’t even set foot in Xianwu Mountain, let alone the Mountain Villa," Yue Qingshan said angrily.
"Money is not important; Han Xue’s current danger is a matter of life and death," Su Changfeng said.
Yue Qingshan gritted her teeth. The feelings between Su Changfeng and Shen Hanxue had grown so deep that they were inseparable. It seemed Su Changfeng would endure all humiliation and resentment for Shen Hanxue.
"I would also face such danger, even if it might lead to death," Yue Qingshan sincerely looked at Su Changfeng. Although she had tried to win his affection many times, this time it was particularly resolute.
As long as Su Changfeng treated her as Shen Hanxue, Yue Qingshan was willing to bear all risks and gamble with her life just to win this rare and genuine affection.
"You’re not qualified," Su Changfeng said flatly.
Yue Qingshan smiled sorrowfully. Even so, Su Changfeng remained unwavering. Shen Hanxue’s happiness was comparable to no other woman’s.
"Han Xue is really happy," Yue Qingshan turned to the window, tears streaming down her face, heart aching to the point she could hardly breathe.
In the eyes of others, Shen Hanxue’s happiness couldn’t be matched. It seemed no one could compare to her. However, in Su Changfeng’s view, these were normal things, and Shen Hanxue deserved his love and protection.
Faced with Yue Qingshan’s slightly trembling shoulders and quiet sobbing, Su Changfeng showed no tenderness, because his heart still resided with Shen Hanxue. He didn’t pay any attention to other women’s feelings.
Time flowed slowly. In Su Changfeng’s eyes, every second was particularly challenging. Until Shen Hanxue’s safety was confirmed, his heart couldn’t find peace for even a second.
"If you want to be discharged, I can get you a wheelchair," Yue Qingshan said to Su Changfeng.
Su Changfeng decisively nodded. With his current feelings, he couldn’t bear staying idly in the hospital, doing nothing. "Thank you," he said.
"Think it through. If you don’t rest properly, you might face future consequences," Yue Qingshan warned.
