Chapter 200: The Deepest Love is Sacrificing Yourself Because You Want Her to be Well
"Let me go, what are you doing? Mom, your favoritism is boundless. You aren't helping Jian Yixin this way; you're only going to ruin her..."
Nothing Jian Yining said was of any use; he was still locked up by people his mother had sent.
The Shi Family.
Sheng Hanyu went to the Shi Family to look for someone, but he fled in a panic before he could even enter the front gate.
This was the first time in his life that Sheng Hanyu had been so disheveled, chased through the residential compound by Shi Yucheng brandishing a kitchen knife.
Shi Yucheng cursed as he chased him, calling him a heartless man and a scumbag.
He had betrayed Xuanxuan and still had the nerve to come to the house to look for her; the Shi Family members who had died or been crippled were all his doing, and even if he had to throw away his old bones, Shi Yucheng would demand an explanation from him today...
In truth, even with a kitchen knife, Shi Yucheng couldn't hurt Sheng Hanyu in the slightest.
That he would dodge instead of snatching the knife away, and instead be humiliated by Shi Yucheng, was all for the sake of Shi Youxuan.
However, although he had fled in a panic, he could confirm that Xuanxuan was not at her parents' home.
It was all because he had been too impatient, his mind clouded, leading to a misjudgment; Shi Yuke was recuperating at her parents' home, so how could Xuanxuan have gone back there?
He went to the Jian Family to find Jian Yining, wanting to see if there had been any progress on his end.
Before his car even reached the building, he saw Jian Yining limping as he ran toward him, with people chasing behind.
Sheng Hanyu told the driver not to stop but to slow down, and when they reached Jian Yining, he opened the car door and yanked him inside.
"What happened to you?" he asked.
Jian Yining said angrily, "Once we find Yingzi, we'll go abroad and never come back. This kind of family is better off discarded."
"Hanyu Ge, I want to learn from you and cut ties with my family."
Sheng Hanyu almost kicked him out.
When the car reached the mall, Sheng Hanyu had the driver get out to buy the latest model phone for Jian Yining, fearing that if Shi Youxuan contacted him, he wouldn't receive it.
After the phone was bought and the SIM card inserted, it was turned on to find, as expected, an overwhelming number of missed calls and messages.
However, most were from home, and there were a few sent by Jian Yixin.
There was no news at all from the person they both wanted to find most; did she already distrust him? This left Jian Yining feeling very frustrated.
However, his dejected appearance was quite satisfying to Sheng Hanyu.
"Can you understand my feelings now? A few days ago, you guarded against me like a thief, yet you didn't guard against the person you really should have," Sheng Hanyu said with a sarcastic remark.
Jian Yining was unconvinced: "Wasn't your phone also installed with a GPS? Why mock me? The pot calling the kettle black."
"Besides, I only hid from you during those first few days; later, when I saw you weren't looking anymore, I let my guard down."
Sheng Hanyu sneered: "It's not that I wasn't looking, it's that I didn't dare push you all too hard, fearing that Xuanxuan wouldn't recover well from her miscarriage and would hurt her health."
Jian Yining turned his head abruptly, staring at him in shock.
So they had all misunderstood him.
The two of them had thought that Sheng Hanyu wasn't looking for Shi Youxuan because he had realized Jian Yixin was his true love and was preparing to reconcile with her.
It was precisely because of this thought that after Jian Yixin went to find Shi Youxuan, they were deceived by her few words and believed her.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jian Yining told the truth: "You didn't look for Yingzi for this whole month, so we all thought you and Jian Yixin were back together." He didn't want to call her sister anymore; the current Jian Yixin and the sister from before seemed like two different people.
"Bullshit."
Sheng Hanyu cursed.
Jian Yixin had come to find Sheng Hanyu twice more, but whether she was crying and playing the victim or speaking in a soft, gentle voice about the past, Sheng Hanyu no longer paid her any mind.
Three days later.
"Ring-ring—"
Sheng Hanyu had only just fallen asleep when the phone rang; it was Jian Yining calling.
He swiped to answer, and before he could speak, Jian Yining said very excitedly: "Hurry, Hanyu Ge, hurry to the airport, Yingzi is at the airport..."
Sheng Hanyu leaped up and sprinted downstairs without even putting on his coat.
He got in the car, floored the gas pedal, and drove toward the airport.
Jian Yining said on the phone that someone had seen Shi Youxuan at the airport and it looked like she was about to board a flight, telling him to hurry over.
Sheng Hanyu drove extremely fast, running quite a few red lights along the way, but when he arrived at the airport, he still hadn't made it in time!
Jian Yining came out from inside, dejected, and patted his shoulder with feigned maturity: "I arrived a step late too; I didn't see her."
Although neither of them had seen Shi Youxuan, they weren't discouraged.
If they didn't catch her this time, couldn't they just take a flight to chase after her?
Shi Youxuan would never have guessed that the two of them would reach an alliance in such a short time and immediately begin taking action.
Through his connections at the airport, Sheng Hanyu quickly found the flight number and even the seat number Shi Youxuan had taken.
Her destination was L Country; the two immediately booked the next flight to L Country. There were none left for today, so they could only depart tomorrow.
That night, Sheng Hanyu slept well; he hadn't rested properly for over a month, and now that he had news of Shi Youxuan, he felt incredibly at ease.
Although he hadn't seen her yet, having news was the most reassuring thing in all these days.
As long as there was a lead, things would be easy to handle; he firmly believed that once he saw Xuanxuan and expressed his feelings to her, and explained all the misunderstandings Jian Yixin had created, she would forgive him.
The child was gone, but they could have another.
Although they were divorced, they could just remarry.
The last time they married, there was no wedding, no ring, and not even wedding photos; Sheng Hanyu decided to make up for all of it this time.
Whatever others have, his Xuanxuan must have!
Whatever others don't have, his Xuanxuan must also have!
What one thinks about by day, one dreams of by night.
In his dream, Sheng Hanyu dreamt he had found his beloved; Shi Youxuan was still as quirky and clever as ever, only she had lost a lot of weight.
At first, she sulked and ignored him, even wanting to run away from his side.
He domineeringly refused to let her go and used his old trick—the wall-pin!
When the little woman got angry, he coaxed her and confessed his feelings to her.
At this moment, Jian Yixin appeared, her gaze sorrowful and her tone even more so, blaming him for having a change of heart, forgetting the old love for the new, and even speaking harshly to Shi Youxuan.
Right in front of Xuanxuan, he made it clear to Jian Yixin that he had indeed fallen in love with Shi Youxuan, but it was not a change of heart.
Because that chapter of theirs had already ended; now, the person in his heart was Xuanxuan, and it would always only be her, never anyone else.
Jian Yixin left, Shi Youxuan forgave him, and the two held a very grand wedding, with everyone coming to attend their wedding...
"Ring—"
Just as the sweet dream reached its most crucial moment, the phone rang.
Sheng Hanyu was very unhappy at being woken up; he reached out to grab the phone and looked—it was a call from Jian Yining, so he had to answer.
"Hello—"
"Sob... the plane crashed... Yingzi is missing..."
Whatever else Jian Yining said afterward, Sheng Hanyu did not hear a single word clearly.
He suddenly felt it was all very surreal, as if he hadn't woken up from the dream yet.
Right, he just hadn't woken up; the sweet dream had simply turned into a nightmare!
But it didn't matter.
Sheng Hanyu said to himself: No matter how terrifying the nightmare is, it doesn't matter, as long as it is just a dream.
Although he thought this, tears could not stop flowing down, and they were very salty.
Jian Yining was only concerned with his own grief and cried for a long time; only when he received no response did he say: "Are you listening? Sheng Hanyu, did you hear what I said?"
He did not answer and silently hung up.
