Chapter 630: Chapter 630: Please Stop Being Mad at Me, Okay?
From a young age, Lai Shengxia was unwilling to be just an ordinary person.
Even though her mother was the chairwoman of Tianyi, and she had a Councilman father, for a husband, she hoped for a man who could take her to the pinnacle of success.
In university, she and Han Jifeng were in love for years, yet they ultimately couldn’t withstand the harsh reality.
Han Jifeng studied at the university of political science and law, not to become a lawyer — the Han Family’s company was not much inferior to Tianyi. At that time, Lai Shengxia saw that Han Jifeng was set on a political career.
During the height of their romance, Lai Shengxia had planned out her and Han Jifeng’s life.
After they graduated, they would marry, and as Han Jifeng embarked on his political journey, she would be the woman behind him. She had enough confidence in herself that in the years to come, she wouldn’t just be Han Jifeng’s wife but also his think tank, strategizing for his political career.
However, her plans went awry due to the Han Family’s bankruptcy and Mr. Han’s death.
At that time, the Han residence became a gathering place for creditors.
No matter how capable Han Jifeng was, he was just a recent college graduate. He would ultimately have to bow down in the face of such a catastrophe.
In their circle, such incidents were not unheard of.
The entire family would often vanish without a trace.
Lai Shengxia knew very well about Qin Yueru’s health; even before the Han Family’s collapse, Qin Yueru frequently visited the hospital. After Mr. Han’s death, Qin Yueru was devastated, becoming a burden to Han Jifeng.
During that period, Lai Shengxia saw that Han Jifeng had no intention of looking for a job, preoccupied only with caring for his sick mother, and her heart sank.
Ouyang Qian and Lai Wenyan no longer held Han Jifeng in high regard.
If she married Han Jifeng, she could bring a Dowry to the Han Family and hire someone to care for Qin Yueru, but as Han Jifeng’s daughter-in-law, she couldn’t ignore Qin Yueru. That way, she would inevitably suffer after the marriage.
With the sudden calamity befalling the Han Family, Han Jifeng certainly wouldn’t rest easy leaving Qin Yueru to live alone.
Lai Shengxia had no confidence that she could adapt to such a life.
Therefore, she proposed a breakup with Han Jifeng.
When she accepted Qin Yansheng’s overtures and also kept an eye on Han Jifeng; after all, they had been together for years, it wasn’t possible to forget and move on so quickly. They had broken up at the height of their relationship, not because of any personal issues between them, but purely due to external forces, leaving more or less a sense of regret in her heart.
Later, Han Jifeng, credited for reporting Xia Zhengguo, received favor from the former President, and Song Baiyan, upon taking office, didn’t suppress him either. When others could see that Han Jifeng had a bright future ahead, Lai Shengxia had, of course, noticed it too.
However, she soon realized that Han Jifeng’s feelings for her seemed to have changed.
Lai Shengxia thought of the phone call from Tang Li; regardless of why Han Jifeng wanted to marry Tang Li, thinking back on their college years of love, she couldn’t let anyone else take the position of Mrs. Han in this lifetime.
In the hospital room, the doctor had been called away.
Qin Yueru had been sitting for a while and stood up with her bag in hand: “Then I’ll head back home first.”
Saying so, she reminded her son of things to keep in mind.
With Qin Yueru leaving, Lai Shengxia naturally offered to escort her back.
Han Jifeng didn’t speak out to stop her. Apart from expressing thanks, he did not say much to Lai Shengxia. After seeing Qin Yueru to her home, instead of returning to the Lai Family residence, Lai Shengxia made another trip to the hospital.
At that time, Han Jifeng was washing his hands in the restroom.
As Lai Shengxia came in, she happened to see Han Jifeng stepping out of the restroom.
Their eyes met, and Han Jifeng paused in his steps.
Lai Shengxia had already run over to him and embraced him directly, speaking in a lost tone: “Can you please stop being angry at me?”
