Chapter 159: Lin Qingya's Right Hand, Comminuted Fracture

Cheng Wan had long since packed her things, and together with Qin Ping'an, they went to Beicheng Villa.

The servants uniformly changed their address back to "Madam," feeling exceptionally happy.

Chu Li had prepared gifts for both Cheng Wan and Qin Ping'an.

A lustrous white pearl necklace hung around Cheng Wan's neck, making her skin appear even fairer and more delicate.

Over these three months, she had taken very good care of herself.

Chu Li did not say much more; after settling them in, he left the house.

Cheng Wan knew he had gone to see Qin Yun Shu.

Although they were half-siblings, they were, after all, own siblings.

Own siblings?

A sarcastic curve appeared at the corner of Cheng Wan's mouth.

Now, he could finally openly and legitimately protect Qin Yun Shu.

After coaxing Qin Ping'an to sleep, Cheng Wan drove to the Yiyuan herself.

She was going to see Lin Qingya.

Inside the Yiyuan.

Qin Yun Shu and Lady Qin were worried sick because of those three hundred million.

They could not come up with that much money.

But if Qin Jianguo were to spill those matters to the media, Qin Yun Shu could imagine how terrifying those rumors and gossip would be.

"Let's probe A Li's stance," Lady Qin suggested.

Qin Yun Shu agreed.

She had thought Chu Li would not come until the next day, so when she saw him appear, a trace of emotion still welled up in her heart.

Chu Li was still her good brother; he would not ignore her.

"Brother." She shed tears of grievance, her eyes red and swollen, "I thought you wouldn't come."

Chu Li's tone was stern, "I told you back then, don't go too far in what you do."

Qin Yun Shu lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.

She simply could not swallow that resentment.

Lady Qin hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "A Li, Yun Shu didn't mean it; she just likes Cheng Han too much, which is why she grew jealous. She knows she was wrong."

She signaled to Qin Yun Shu with her eyes.

Qin Yun Shu said in a low voice, "I know I was wrong."

How could Chu Li not see her reluctance? She did not know she was wrong at all.

"You..."

"Brother." Qin Yun Shu suddenly looked up, tears rolling down.

"He abandoned me at the wedding without the slightest regard for my reputation; is it really just me overthinking things?"

She covered her face, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Do you know? My father found out about my background, and he threatened me, demanding I give him three hundred million, otherwise... otherwise he will spill what happened back then. He wants to ruin me."

Finally, she had said it.

Lady Qin cautiously watched Chu Li's expression.

Chu Li only furrowed his brows; there was no major change in his emotions.

"Don't pay him any mind."

Qin Yun Shu was stunned; this was not what she had expected.

"That won't work, he really will tell everyone. Brother, you have to help me."

She was terrified; three hundred million was not a small sum, and she could not ask for it directly.

She could only test Chu Li's attitude.

Chu Li's expression was indifferent; in fact, looking closely, there was not much of a brother's affection for a sister in his demeanor.

What existed was the responsibility brought about by the life-saving grace from back then and half their shared bloodline.

Watching her tears, Chu Li ultimately softened his tone to comfort her.

"Rest assured, I will arrange for Assistant Wu to talk to him. If he really publishes these matters online, the public relations department will also handle it cleanly."

Qin Yun Shu felt a chill in her heart.

Chu Li's meaning was very clear: he would not provide those three hundred million.

"But..."

"Yun Shu, if he can ask you for three hundred million today, he can ask for five hundred million tomorrow. Greed is endless."

Chu Li rubbed his brow; under the lights, his aura was cold.

"But if Cheng Han finds out, he will look down on me," Qin Yun Shu said urgently.

"If he looks down on you because of such things, then he is not worthy of being your husband," Chu Li advised his sister, "Yun Shu, those things are not your fault. Don't keep dwelling on them; besides, I am here."

After he finished speaking, he left.

Lady Qin chased him outside the ward, "A Li."

She smiled helplessly, "You know, Yun Shu really likes Cheng Han, which is why she is worried about Qin Jianguo spilling that matter."

Chu Li stood under the light, his expression somewhat cold.

"Back then, why did you have to wait until she and I were preparing to marry to reveal her background?"

Lady Qin was startled, her face turning pale instantly.

A few seconds later, she said, "It was because of me; I was worried that your mother would know of her existence and do her harm."

This is the truth; after all, Madam Chu's shrewishness is quite famous.

Chu Bolin was a philanderer outside, yet he somehow never managed to produce an illegitimate child.

Except for Qin Yun Shu.

Chu Li's expression was very cold, his gaze sharp.

Being stared at by him, Lady Qin was, in the end, feeling guilty.

"A Li," she attempted to explain.

But Chu Li had already turned and left.

He knew very clearly in his heart.

The reason Lady Qin held onto the secret of Qin Yun Shu's parentage until he decided to marry Qin Yun Shu was because she wanted to secure a better future for Qin Yun Shu.

With the Chu Family and the Cheng Family to escort and protect her, she could sit back and relax for the rest of her life.

Lady Qin is a woman who is very good at calculating.

On the other side.

When Cheng Wan went to the hospital room, Lin Qingya was already asleep.

A caregiver was looking after her.

A nurse asked a family member to go to the doctor's office.

Cheng Wan went.

The attending physician explained Lin Qingya's condition; the wound on her wrist was not deep and did not damage the main artery, so it would be fine with rest, but what was important was the injury to her right hand.

"The injury... to her right hand?"

Cheng Wan's heart sank, and even her breathing became somewhat heavy.

"Yes, Miss Lin's right hand has suffered severe trauma."

"What do you mean?"

"Simply put, Miss Lin's right hand can no longer grasp or exert force."

Cheng Wan's face turned pale; she clutched the medical report and read it word by word.

Lin Qingya's right hand had a comminuted fracture.

A heavy stone felt like it was pressing on Cheng Wan's chest; how could this be?

Lin Qingya would never be able to hold a pen again...

The doctor felt quite sympathetic toward Lin Qingya; after all, a comminuted fracture of the right hand would have a huge impact on her life.

Compared to a comminuted fracture, the wrist-slitting was a minor matter.

Cheng Wan braced herself against the edge of the desk, her throat hoarse.

"Does she know?"

The doctor shook his head, "The results just came out."

Cheng Wan nodded, "Thank you. Let me be the one to tell her. Can surgery be performed? What are the chances of recovery?"

"Surgery can only restore fifty percent, allowing her to not completely lose the ability to grasp, but it is impossible to return to the state she was in before."

Cheng Wan did not know how she walked back to the hospital room; the papers in her hand were crumpled with countless creases.

How sad Lin Qingya would be at such a cruel thing.

In the hospital room, Lin Qingya had already woken up.

The caregiver mentioned that Cheng Wan had been there.

Lin Qingya was somewhat happy, "Where is Wanwan?"

Just as the caregiver was about to speak, Cheng Wan pushed the door open and entered, "Qingya."

She asked the caregiver to go out.

Lin Qingya's joyful expression froze; she looked at her good friend, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Wan felt that telling the truth was cruel, but not telling her was even crueler.

She walked over slowly, her fingers trembling as she handed the result sheet to Lin Qingya.

She observed and discovered that when Lin Qingya took it, she used her left hand.

Although her right hand was raised, if one observed carefully, it was trembling slightly.

Lin Qingya's hand was in pain.
