Chapter 199 Isn't he handsome?
"What about his brother?" I pressed.
“He’s gone.” Wang Tongzhou explained, “Once he got the money, he abandoned his own brother. We’ve tried to find him several times over the years, but he just won’t come back. He even said that the house was left to him by his parents. He didn’t even kick Zhuang Yan out, which is more than enough.”
I'm not surprised at all by what Zhuang Yan's brother did.
I've met people like that before.
"So how is their relationship?" I continued to ask.
“What can we do now that things are like this?” Wang Tongzhou sighed. “But his brother used to treat him very well. Not to mention him, he was also very good to us.”
What were Zhuang Yan and He Ya like when they were dating?
“That’s pretty normal.” Wang Tongzhou sipped his tea. “Anyway, the two of them have always said that when they come back from their studies, they will work together to build up their hometown.”
I nodded. "How did Zhuang Yan break his leg?"
"It's all because of He Ya." Wang Tongzhou said angrily, "After they went to university, they actually broke up. Zhuang Yan couldn't let go, but He Ya's family is a bunch of scoundrels. They came to our door and said that Zhuang Yan was holding He Ya back. He Ya is a university student. She will stay in the big city after graduation and marry a rich man. They told Zhuang Yan not to be delusional. Zhuang Yan didn't listen, and they started arguing. By the time we arrived, Zhuang Yan's legs were already broken."
"Isn't anyone going to take responsibility for this?" I asked, somewhat indignantly.
“The people from Hejia Village are scoundrels. They say they’re willing to pay compensation, and some are even willing to go to jail, but Zhuang Yan’s harassment of He Ya just won’t work,” Wang Tongzhou said helplessly.
"What did Zhuang Yan say?" I asked.
Wang Tongzhou shook his head: "He hasn't said a word since then, except he'll occasionally ask me about He Xi. You know, that woman's gone crazy, why would he ask? But I'm also wondering, he likes He Ya, why is he so concerned about her sister?"
I smiled but said nothing.
“Village Chief, I think Zhuang Yan will probably agree to come back to Xinjing City with me for treatment. You can leave him to me without worry.” I said with a smile.
“Professor Shen, if you can really cure his leg, I will be eternally grateful.” Wang Tongzhou’s eyes were red. “This kid saved me and made me who I am today. I really don’t want to see his life go to waste like this.”
"Village chief, I will do my best." I nodded.
The village chief was excited: "Professor Shen, thank you in advance. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me. I will do my best to help."
"Do you know what happened after He Ya and Zhuang Yan broke up?" I asked.
“I only heard about it from others.” Wang Tongzhou actually knew: “It’s about how she didn’t study hard after she went to university, but luckily she graduated smoothly. She was dating a poor boy, but her family didn’t approve and they broke up. I don’t know what happened after that, but I heard that she went crazy. However, Hejia Village has never admitted it. You know, once this kind of thing gets out, young people can’t find a partner. I’m not one to gossip, so I know, but I haven’t mentioned it to anyone.”
I nodded in understanding: "Village chief, thank you."
"Professor Shen, you're too kind." Wang Tongzhou stood up. "How about we have a simple lunch at home?"
"No need, I have other things to do." I stood up.
Wang Tongzhou knew I was busy, so he didn't try to keep me any longer.
I left the village chief's house.
After I got back, I received a call from Zhuang Yan.
He's made up his mind and wants to come back with me.
I told him that someone would be sent to pick him up tomorrow, and that he should prepare in advance.
-
The next day.
Dai Chen'an and I waited for everyone at the hotel entrance.
At that moment, Caiyun, holding the child, ran towards me while crying.
"Professor Shen, please, save my son!" Caiyun came to me, her face streaked with tears. "My son's condition is very bad after he woke up."
I glanced at him and saw that Caiyun's son's facial features were severely deformed due to his illness.
Dai Chen'an and I knew at once that if we didn't take action soon, it would be too late.
"Caiyun, get back here right now!" He Tian ran over.
Caiyun hid behind me: "I'm not going back with you, I need to get Xiaotao treated."
"What illness? He's not sick!" He Tian was furious. "Don't embarrass me here."
"Professor Shen, I beg you, Xiao Tao is my only child. I will protect him even if it costs me my life." Caiyun choked up, like a small animal that could not break free of its restraints: "Please."
Behind He Tian, another person ran over.
My gaze darkened. Wasn't that He Baolai, the white-haired man?
He Bao looked at me, a hint of guilt and embarrassment creeping into his otherwise nonchalant eyes.
“He Tian, Xiao Tao is your son. Do you want him to stay sick forever?” I questioned him.
"My son isn't sick!" He Tian glared at me, as if he wanted to kill me.
“Take a good look at your son. Is he normal?” I said angrily.
He Tian stared at me with eyes like knives: "I told you he's not sick!"
After saying that, he rushed over and reached out to take Caiyun away.
Without thinking twice, I told Dai Chen'an to call the police, and then I stepped forward to stop He Tian.
When He Tian saw me trying to stop him, he pushed me away with his hands, which were calloused from working in the fields.
He was as strong as an ox, as if he were going to push me a great distance.
Luckily, I managed to stay on my feet.
"You dare to sneak away with my son? Let me tell you, no one can take my son away without my permission!" He Tian was furious, veins bulging on his temples, as if his blood vessels were about to burst.
He reached out and snatched Xiao Tao from Caiyun's arms.
Caiyun did not let go.
He raised his hand and slapped Caiyun across the face.
Caiyun felt dizzy, her ears were ringing, and she felt a sharp pain in her ears.
"Dad!" He Baolai walked over and grabbed He Tian, saying, "That's enough! You've already chased my mom away, do you want to drive my aunt away too?"
I looked at He Baolai in surprise.
His words finally made me understand that He Tian was remarried.
"Auntie, get in the car quickly, I'll hold him off!" He Baolai looked at Caiyun: "You take your brother and leave!"
I let Caiyun get into my car.
He was so angry that he punched He Baolai on the head and back, yelling, "You bastard, you even dare to betray me!"
I rushed over and punched He Tian in the temple.
My strength is limited; it won't be fatal.
But He Tian was so dizzy from my beating that he couldn't see anything clearly.
The hotel security guards rushed over and pinned him down.
I went over to He Baolai and helped him up: "Are you alright?"
He Baolai wiped the blood from his nose: "Isn't he handsome?"
I chuckled to myself, "He is quite handsome."
He Baolai grinned, his teeth still covered in blood.
He was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, yet he knew how to protect others.
Looking at He Tian again, a cold glint flashed in my clear black and white eyes.
