Chapter 157 Gratitude

The situation was as if everyone was persuading him to leave his precious daughter with this young man from the Leng family.

Since things had come to this, if he didn't give in, he would seem a bit petty.

After a long while, he nodded.

"Alright, I agree to let Huanhuan stay in the Leng family."

"But."

His voice suddenly turned solemn.

"If Huanhuan is in any danger in the future, I will not hesitate to take her back to the Fu family."

"You must protect Huanhuan's personal safety before Jingzhan is cured."

He looked at Leng Chuanjin.

"Can you do it?"

Seeing that his attitude had finally softened, Leng Chuanjin heaved a sigh of relief.

"I can do it."

"I will use my life to ensure her safety."

Every word Leng Chuanjin said tonight was like a bomb dropped into the crowd, shocking everyone.

Xia Sanghuan looked at his back and was a bit speechless.

Were the words he said to her father sincere, or just a pretext to keep her here to continue treating Jingzhan?

She couldn't figure it out.

Just then, Leng Chuanjin turned around and glanced at her.

Although he still looked expressionless as usual, somehow, she always felt that there was a sense of reassurance in his eyes.

After Fu Zeming gave in, the tense atmosphere gradually eased.

Just then, Bai Jingxing arrived.

He was led in by the servants and then began to apply medicine to Xia Sanghuan under Leng Chuanjin's instruction.

He looked up at Leng Chuanjin, whose suit was in a mess and whose body was still oozing blood in some places.

Why didn't he care about himself at all?

Feeling the intense gazes of everyone, he was a bit nervous.

In order not to hurt Xia Sanghuan, his hands applying the medicine became even gentler and slower.

In the end, Xia Sanghuan became a bit impatient.

She picked up the alcohol bottle and looked around but couldn't find a cotton swab.

She opened the cap and simply poured the alcohol directly on her hand.

Seeing the scar on her hand being washed open by the alcohol, Fu Moning almost fainted on the spot.

"Huanhuan!"

Fu Lingshi also quickly walked over and took the alcohol from her hand.

She spread her hands pretending to be helpless and said to them,

"Sorry, Dr. Bai is too slow."

"Anyway, it's for disinfection. It's the same this way."

The people from the Fu family were both heartbroken and anxious because of her actions. But looking at her innocent face, the anger that had just risen in their hearts subsided.

After Bai Jingxing treated the wounds of her and Leng Chuanjin, Wang Fu walked over in good time to inform them that dinner was ready.

Leng Chuanjin originally wanted to keep Bai Jingxing for dinner, but Bai Jingxing couldn't bear the current atmosphere for a single second and quickly slipped away.

After smelling the fragrance of the food wafting from the dining table, Xia Sanghuan only then realized that she was hungry.

She was pulled to the table by her two elder sisters and sat down in her usual seat.

During the meal, her two elder sisters kept putting dishes on her plate. She couldn't eat as fast as they put the dishes, and soon the dishes on her plate piled up like a small mountain.

In the end, it was Fu Lingshi who advised the two sisters to let Huanhuan take a break, and then they stopped.

Moreover, it was more like a "lecture session" than a dinner.

Her father and elder sisters were almost nagging all the time. One thing was almost repeated more than three times, and even Fu Lingshi sometimes couldn't help but mention a few words.

After the meal, it was almost time to say goodbye.

Xia Sanghuan walked to the door to see them off and hugged them respectively.

Fu Zeming hugged her for an especially long time. When he received the news that Huanhuan was in trouble this afternoon, he almost fainted on the spot.

After he let go, he gave her a card.

"This is a family card."

"This card is bound to mine. If you want to buy something, just swipe this card."

"Dad is very sorry that he can't be with you all the time."

After he finished speaking, he hugged her deeply again.

After seeing off the people from the Fu family, Xia Sanghuan suddenly felt a bit tired.

She urgently needed to take a bath.

Just for dinner, she just simply changed into a new dress.

Now the dirt and dust on her body had made her a bit restless.

Just as she turned around to go upstairs, Leng Chuanjin called out to her.

"Sanghuan."

She stood on the stairs and turned back.

She saw him standing below, staring at her intently.

"Thank you."

Somehow, her face suddenly blushed.

Thinking of the scene just now when she confronted her father with him, she suddenly felt a bit at a loss.

She quickly turned around so that he couldn't see her face.

"It's okay."

"After all, I also care about Jingzhan very much. I can't give up halfway..."

Before she could finish her words, he interrupted her.

"I want you to stay, not just for Jingzhan."

"Not only does Jingzhan need you, but I also..."

He stopped speaking halfway.

"Go to bed early tonight."

"Good night."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and went to the study.

Xia Sanghuan calmed down for a while in place and then lifted her feet to continue going upstairs.

His words were too ambiguous and really misleading.

Didn't he know that even if he didn't say these words to her, she would still help him without reservation?

However, just when the two of them were each lost in their own thoughts, Leng Wanqing, who had been hiding at the corner of the stairs eavesdropping, was full of hatred.

Thinking of the few messages that boy sent her that night, she became even angrier.

It was time to pick a time to teach that stinky girl a lesson.

Otherwise, she wouldn't know her own identity.

She clenched her fists and thought secretly.

After Leng Chuanjin returned to the study, he called Fu Lingshi.

"Hello, Chuanjin."

"The group of people who kidnapped Huanhuan last time and the people who chased you this time are from the same organization."

As if they had made an appointment in advance, Fu Lingshi got straight to the point.

"Moreover, this organization was defeated more than a decade ago, but it has been extremely active recently."

"However, it's more like they are in a hurry to show up than being active."

Leng Chuanjin took out the documents in the drawer and added,

"Right."

"This matter is very abnormal."

"So I hope you can really protect Huanhuan with your life as you said during this period."

Hearing his words, Leng Chuanjin let out a chuckle.

"Don't you trust me?"

"Of course I trust you."

But since it concerned his most precious little sister, no matter how much he trusted his good friend, he couldn't help but confirm it again and again.

"Lingshi, I hope you can keep this matter a secret from the Fu family."

He put away his joking tone and said seriously.

"I know."
