"Knowing he's not very sharp, you as the big brother shouldn't help him out a bit more? Where he doesn't understand at work, you should put in more effort to guide and advise him, then he wouldn't make those jokes!" Old Master He scolded.

"Senior He, you're right. It was my mistake. I will definitely pay more attention in the future."

Towards Evening's grandparents are from the countryside. They only meet once during Chinese New Year, and her dad is their only child. As for her maternal grandparents, they have passed away, and her mother was also their only child.

So she had only ever heard people talk about grandparents being partial, but she could never have imagined it. Seeing Mr. He like this today, she finally understood what kind of shape a person's heart can be in.

Thinking about this, she twitched her lips, a self-deprecating smile playing on her face.

She's in hot water herself right now, so she shouldn't worry about other people's business.

Seeing that the old master wasn't paying attention to his two sons, he pushed open the door of the ward and walked in, saying coldly to them, "Come in too."

"Hmm." Xiang Wan responded, nervously following in. Beads of sweat trickled down her forehead.

Before, she had only heard tales of Old Master He and his eccentricities. She was afraid, but not terribly so, or else she wouldn't have dared to propose two conditions to him.

But today, knowing that Old Master He was going to have her sent to prison, that fear was real and true, like a bone-chilling leech clinging to her very soul.

She didn't even know where she had offended Old Master He, he was going to use the excuse of helping her leave to ruin her!

After going inside, Old Master He sat down on the sickbed and looked up at her, humming: "So much sweat on your head, are you scared?"

向晚 opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say, and in the end, said nothing at all.

"Is he lying to me, or has he done something wrong to our He family?" Old Master He suddenly slapped the bed and asked fiercely.

With that shot, Xiang Wan's heart skipped a beat and then started beating rapidly.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, her voice barely a whisper, "No one is afraid to see you, are they?"

Old Master He's eyes darkened a bit, but in the end, he only let out a heavy hum and did not refute her words.

Only then did Xiang Wan let out a slight breath, feeling her entire back soaked through with sweat.

"If it weren't for my late-stage lung cancer, I doubt you would have even been able to give birth to this child!" Old Master He's expression shifted several times before finally landing on her stomach.

Towards Evening tightened her lips, beads of sweat trickled down her jawline, reflecting a rainbow of colors in the sunlight.

Mr. He seems to have genuine hope for the child in her belly now, so... where would she even get a child from?

"Having a child, how can you still leave?" Old Master He glared with a dark expression, "Do you plan on using this child to blackmail Hanchuan once you're outside?"

"I clenched my clothes, trying my best to remain calm, but my voice still trembled. "To be honest with you, the things He Hanchuan did... I can't forgive him, and I don't intend on raising this child."

"Are you saying that our He family lineage doesn't matter to you?" Old Master He stood up, his voice suddenly rising.

<<< Wanye hung her head low, silent as a mouse.

It's better to say less and make fewer mistakes. Who knows where you might offend Old Master He again.

"You should be grateful that you're carrying this child, otherwise you might not be standing here. You'd only be left in prison, forgotten for the rest of your life!" Old Master He said.

W向晚's eyes widened suddenly, her fists clenched tightly.

She wanted to endure it, but in the end, she still couldn't hold back. "May I ask, after I promised to leave He Hanchuan, why are you still...unable to accept me?"

"See the bandage on my neck?" He pointed to the bandage on his neck, his face was grim.

<<< Toward Evening didn't know why, she hummed softly.

"Hánchuān threatened me with a knife for you?" Old Master Hé's face flushed red with anger, he seemed both furious and helpless, "Do you think he cares so much about you that I'd let you stay by his side?"

W向晚's pupils contracted, and her body stiffened.

Mr. He has been diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer and doesn't have much time left. The rest of the He family is staying at the hospital, all trying to spend as much time as possible with Mr. He in hopes of gaining favor and a share of his inheritance.

But at this moment, He Hanchuan actually threatened Old Master He with a knife for her?

He's not afraid that when Old Master He dies, he won't get anything, is he?

"I really don't know what Hanchuan sees in you!" Old Master He looked her up and down. "He must be blind!"

向晚 lowered her head and stiffened her body, allowing him to look her over. She couldn't say what she felt inside.

Bang!

Just then, the hospital room door was suddenly flung open.

He came rushing in, his breath coming in ragged gasps. His handsome features were pale and slick with sweat.

His suit jacket was undone, the buttons missing, revealing a white shirt beneath that clung to his body, damp with sweat and hinting at a hint of toned abs.

After entering, he didn't even glance at Old Master He, his eyes fixed solely on Xiang Wan.

He walked a few steps over, hands on her shoulders, looking her up and down. After confirming she had only been slapped twice on the face, he slightly relaxed his breath, but his handsome face was still slightly somber.

"...Is it still hurting?" He Hanchuan paused slightly, trembling as he raised his hand and gently touched the slap mark on her face.

Towards Evening tilted her head, frowning and dodging his touch.

His hand fell empty. He lowered his gaze for a moment, then stood in front of her, shielding her completely.

He looked at Old Master He with an impassive face and said, "I will take responsibility for what I have done. Please don't involve others."

Old Master He let out a cold snort of disdain and said impatiently, "She's carrying your child. I won't touch her before the child is born. Get out!"

He Hanchuan frowned slightly, then said nothing, pulling Xiang Wan's hand and walking out.

"I've already found a new CEO. Starting tomorrow, you'll be handing over the reins. Also, the three percent of He Group shares under your name will be transferred tomorrow. Cooperate with the lawyer when he arrives. Any objections?" Old Master He said coldly.

Yuao-wan frowned and stopped in her tracks.

But He Hanchuan had no intention of stopping at all. He still dragged her out, only saying, "Okay," as he walked.

Seeing him walk out of the ward without hesitation, Old Master He's face darkened like a stormy sky. Then he picked up the water glass on the table and smashed it against the door with a loud bang.

The cup first bumped into the door with a loud dull thud, and then it fell to the ground, shattering into several pieces.

Toward Evening turned back, glanced at the ward door that wasn't tightly closed, and with an indifferent expression, pulled on He Hanchuan who was still walking forward.

He stopped and looked down at her. When he saw the obvious handprint on her face, his eyebrows furrowed.

"If you go in and explain now, there's still a chance." Xiangwan said.
