Chapter 176: Xi Wan Has a Boyfriend
"Come to the hospital now; something's happened with grandpa."
Luozhou called late at night; Lu Xiwán didn't dare to delay, changed clothes and headed out.
Fu Sijue heard the voice and followed, while Lu Xiwán sat in the passenger seat, her mind in turmoil.
When they reached the ward Luozhou mentioned, Lu Xiwán instantly saw Yan Han kneeling on the floor, sobbing.
Her long hair covered her face, so Lu Xiwán couldn't see her expression.
Luozhou sat with a cold expression, not giving Yan Han a proper look.
When he saw Lu Xiwán arrive, his expression finally softened.
Lu Xiwán waited for the elevator in vain, took the stairs up, panting heavily.
Fu Sijue spoke for her, "What's wrong? Is Grandpa Luo alright?"
Luozhou shook his head, his face grim.
"I stayed at the hospital today to keep grandpa company; I stepped out earlier, and when I returned I saw her sneaking into the ward, crying in front of grandpa."
Luozhou said it through clenched teeth.
Yan Han knew Grandpa Luo's health was poor, yet she deliberately came when Luozhou was absent; the motive was glaringly obvious.
"I didn't—since last time you've barred me from seeing Grandpa Luo; I came today to explain why you're accusing me!"
Yan Han ignored the cold floor, refusing to stand up, and Lu Xiwán couldn't pull her up.
She insisted it was so; no one could say otherwise.
"Then why did you come in the middle of the night?"
Lu Xiwán's brows showed fatigue, and she let out an impatient yawn.
"Because you won't let me see anyone!" Yan Han said with a fierce edge, as if she could bite Lu Xiwán to death.
Lu Xiwán sneered, "Your nonsense—Grandpa Luo's condition is already unstable; crying and wailing in front of him will affect his recovery."
And it might even make things worse.
"I was just saying something."
Lu Xiwán plopped onto the hospital bed and nodded toward Fu Sijue.
"You sit down first— we're all adults, we should speak with conscience; on what grounds can we trust you?"
Yan Han has caused Grandpa Luo to become like this.
Even a fool like Lu Xiwán wouldn't believe her.
She brushed dust off herself and looked at the pitiful Yan Han.
"Actually, I don't understand you."
You're clearly a graduate of a prestigious school; why do you have to torment yourself like this?
Isn't it fine to earn a stable salary at the Fu Clan?
A brief bewilderment flashed in Yan Han's eyes, as if she didn't grasp Lu Xiwán's point.
"You have many choices, yet you chose the most inappropriate path."
For this trivial matter, you gave up your stable job and even the last shred of dignity.
Most people find Yan Han's actions incomprehensible.
"If it weren't for money, who would want to do this?" Yan Han clenched her teeth, voicing her thoughts to Lu Xiwán.
"How much? Can this money buy your whole life?"
Lu Xiwán suddenly felt both pity and amusement.
Having "dismissed by the Fu Clan" on her résumé is the biggest blemish for her.
"Your whole life is worth that much?" Lu Xiwán yawned again, casting a cold glance at Yan Han.
