289 Knot in His Heart

She had thought that her father and brother would be asleep at this time.

Unexpectedly, just as she reached the door, she heard her father’s voice from inside, “Not only are you mourning her misfortune, but at the same time, you’re angry at her for not being able to fight back. Minglang, oh Minglang, you’re really silly! What do you want me to say about you!”

Sang Minglang said, “Dad, I’ve said it before. I’ll handle this matter properly. I won’t let the company suffer any losses.”

“Let’s not talk about the losses it will bring to the company for now.”

Sang Pengcheng was furious. “Do you know what the police said when I went to the police station to check the surveillance footage? Those people who hurt you were criminals. Moreover, they clearly wanted your life! I’m afraid that Zhao is not an easy person to get along with. What if he continues to take revenge on you?”

“That Zhao guy isn’t easy to get along with, but am I easy to get along with?”

Sang Minglang said helplessly, “Dad, have some confidence in me. I won’t give him another chance to hurt me.”

“You won’t? Didn’t you fall in the same pit twice?”

Sang Pengcheng’s face darkened. “Ruan Cheng is dead. Now that I’ve finally calmed down, you’re causing trouble again. Are you trying to make me experience the pain of seeing my son die again?”

There was no sound in the room for a while.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, Sang Qianqian quickly pushed the door open and entered. “Dad, Brother.”

When the two of them saw Sang Qianqian, they were stunned.

“This child, why did you come back?”

Sang Pengcheng was surprised and overjoyed. “Didn’t I tell you to stay in the capital and wait for us?”

Sang Qianqian walked over to the bed. “Brother is already in the hospital. I won’t feel at ease if I don’t come back to visit him.”

“It’s not like I’m seriously injured,” Sang Minglang said indifferently. “I’ll be fine after staying for a few days.”

Sang Qianqian took off the hospital card at the head of the bed and looked at the injury description. The wound on his shoulder was nine centimeters deep and about twenty centimeters long. The tendon was torn, and the bone could be seen.

“If this injury isn’t considered serious, then what is serious in this world anymore?”

As Sang Qianqian put the card back in its original place, she looked deeply at her brother. “How did you get into such a big conflict with your client? The other party even stabbed you with a knife? Also, Dad, you just said that he fell into the same pit twice. What did you mean by that? He’s never had any conflicts with his clients before, right?”

Sang Pengcheng was fuming at the mention of this. “It’s all because of that… Ruan Xiaoshuang.”

“Ruan Xiaoshuang?”

Sang Qianqian was a little confused. “What does this have to do with Sister Xiaoshuang?”

Sang Pengcheng explained the general situation.

Sang Qianqian was dumbfounded.

What was her brother doing?

It was fine that he had once fallen into Ruan Cheng’s trap for Ruan Xiaoshuang, but now, even though he knew that they only looked alike, he still acted so impulsive?

It seemed that her brother was lying to himself when he said that he wanted to let go of the past and plan to get married. Alas, he had never forgotten Ruan Xiaoshuang.

“I think the police will catch the murderer soon. Let’s wait for the results of the police first.”

Sang Qianqian held Sang Pengcheng’s arm. “Dad, you should go home and rest first. I’ll stay here and take care of Brother.”

“You don’t need to guard this place. You and Dad can go home.”

Sang Minglang really wanted to be alone right now.

“It’s too late at night, and I’m too lazy to go.”

Sang Qianqian pointed to the sofa. “I’ll make do with this for one night. Besides, I haven’t seen Brother for a long time.I still want to chat with Brother.”

Sang Minglang knew his sister’s personality well, so it would be useless to reject her. “Do what you want.”

Sang Pengcheng was worried, so Sang Qianqian consoled him and successfully sent her father back to the car.

When she returned to the ward, Sang Minglang was already lying down. He was lying on his side, but she did not know if he was asleep or not.

Sang Qianqian went to the nurse’s station to grab a blanket before lying down on the sofa.

“Brother, are you asleep?”

There was no response.

“You’re really asleep?”

Sang Qianqian sighed and muttered to herself, “To think that I really believed that you would find me a sister-in-law before I went abroad. So this is how you’re planning to find me one?.”

“What sister-in-law? What nonsense are you spouting?”

Sang Minglang could not take it any longer. “I don’t even know that woman.”

“I knew you were pretending to be asleep. Hmph, it’s good I already know how you are, or else I would’ve been surprised knowing you saved a damsel in distress.”

“…”

Sang Minglang’s current mood was so depressed that it could not be any worse.

He hated that he could not cut off his meddlesome hand.

Sang Qianqian wanted to say a few more words, but she couldn’t bear to. After some thought, she decided not to.

At least her situation was better than her brother’s. Shen Hanyu was still alive.

If Shen Hanyu was really gone, and she saw a man who looked like Shen Hanyu being bullied, her reaction might not be as good as her brother’s.

In the darkness of the night, an unknown amount of time passed.

In the quiet room, she suddenly heard her brother’s unusually low voice.

“Qianqian, I’ve forgotten some things about her in the past. But now, I remember everything.”

Sang Qianqian naturally knew who he was referring to.

But she didn’t quite understand what her brother meant. “Brother, why do you say that?”

How could her brother forget something?

“That day, when Xie Shi’an’s men sent me to the airport, the car had already been tampered with by Ruan Cheng. It exploded midway, and she was the one who saved me.”

Sang Minglang said bitterly, “My head got injured and I forgot many things. At that time, my eyes were also injured and I couldn’t see. She was the one who stayed by my side in the hospital and took care of me. I hated that, at that time, because of my memory loss, I only remembered the time when we were abroad. I only remembered when she left without saying goodbye. Moreover, I only remembered Ruan Cheng’s evil deeds, which made me develop a strong hatred for her. Thus, my attitude toward her was really bad.”

His voice seemed to be a little choked. “I never said thank you to her even after she died…”

A cold touch flowed down from the corner of her eyes and landed on her hair.

For so long, Sang Minglang had never mentioned Ruan Xiaoshuang to anyone.

In the capital, when he heard the news of her death, he was overly calm.

But later on, for some reason…

On the day before Sang Qianqian and Shen Hanyu broke up and decided to return to Yuecheng, Sang Minglang still went to Ruan Xiaoshuang’s grave. Looking at her photo on the gravestone, he only felt suffocated and empty. He felt like he had no one to rely on.

He always thought that he had forgotten about Ruan Xiaoshuang.

However, when he returned to Yuecheng, he gradually remembered everything he had forgotten.

Thinking of how Ruan Xiaoshuang had come to him again and again to make compromises, he held back his tears.

The sweetness, warmth, and love after they made up.

When he was locked up in the Ruan family’s secret room by Ruan Cheng and was seriously injured, she had taken care of him tenderly and carefully. Later, when his eyes were injured and his memory was damaged, he used the most unpleasant words to scold her, but she had only silently endured them.

She must have left because he had broken her heart.

However, before she left, she found the best nurse for him, confirmed the date of his eye surgery with the doctor, and paid all the expenses in advance.

Sang Minglang did not dare to think about how much despair she must have felt when she leaped off the mountain cliff, feeling like she didn’t have any more attachment left to this world.

“Qianqian, I feel so bad for her.”
