Chapter 2445 (1/2)

“Hah.” Wang Juhuai scoffed. “No wonder Wang Qianyun is so arrogant, conceited, and unreasonable. She now even dares to treat a human life so recklessly. With such an upbringing under you both, I finally understand now.

“Everything will be left to the judge to decide,” Wang Juhuai said. “Since you both think I don’t treat you like family, then you both can stop coming to look for me anymore.”

“Wait!” When Wang Jugu saw that the negotiation actually fell through, he immediately stopped Wang Juhuai.

But Wang Juhuai already had no intention to continue wrangling with them. Just as Wang Jugu reached out to grab Wang Juhuai’s elbow, Wang Juhuai’s bodyguard appeared in a flash and stood in front of him and Xia Qingwei, separating them from Wang Jugu and Luo Wangyuan.

Wang Juhuai protected Xia Qingwei as they got into the car, and the driver drove off.

Wang Jugu and Luo Wangyuan could not chase after them even if they wanted to.

In the car, Wang Juhuai turned and looked at Xia Qingwei. “Were you afraid that I would agree to their request?”

“I don’t know. They are your family, after all,” Xia Qingwei said. “So I wanted to hear your reply first before deciding.”

Wang Juhuai understood what Xia Qingwei meant.

If his reply had made her disappointed, she would likely have rather fallen out with him, or ended her marriage with him, to insist on seeking justice for Lu Man.

Wang Juhuai held Xia Qingwei’s hand exceptionally tightly.

“Qingwei, you have to believe me. I will never do something that will disappoint you,” Wang Juhuai said. “No matter what happens, you just need to believe me. Never ever think of divorcing me.”

Wang Juhuai paused for a moment and said, “We finally managed to get together, so don’t think about those things.”

“I’m sorry,” Xia Qingwei said in a low voice as she hugged Wang Juhuai’s elbow.

She knew that even though she had not said anything just then, with how smart Wang Juhuai was and how well he knew her, he had understood her thoughts instantly.

He knew that for her to have such thoughts, she must have felt awful too.

“It’s fine,” Wang Juhuai said in a low voice, pulling her into his embrace. “Qingwei, you just need to trust me.”

“Alright.”

The two of them arrived at the hospital. Han Xijin and Shen Nuo were there as well.
