Chapter 359: Why Were They Fighting?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xie Shi’an was originally holding a sugar apple and was focused on peeling it.
Hearing this, the fruit knife in his hand shook and he almost cut his hand.
He lowered his head and continued peeling the sugar apple. He only responded after he had peeled more than half of the fruit.
“The fact that she can’t see is already a sad matter for Sister Xiaoshuang. I was afraid that if I rashly mentioned it, it would make her sadder, so I didn’t ask. After that, you said you could cure her, so I didn’t have to ask.”
He handed the peeled fruit to Sang Qianqian. “For you.”
In the past, Sang Qianqian loved to eat candy and sweet fruits, sugar apples being one of them.
She didn’t stand on ceremony and took a bite. The soft and sticky fruit melted in her mouth, and it was fresh and sweet.
“The taste isn’t bad, but it’s still not enough to win me over.”
Sang Qianqian said half-jokingly, half-seriously, “Shi’an, did you know that when you lie, you always avoid looking at others?”
Xie Shi’an took a tissue and slowly wiped the fruit knife. “Do I?”
“Of course.”
Sang Qianqian said, “If you want me to believe you, look at me and answer.”
Xie Shi’an raised his head and met her eyes.
She suddenly leaned over and moved closer to him. She stared at him with a pair of clear and moist eyes. “Tell me the truth. Did you already know that Sister Xiaoshuang’s eyes were injured?”
The distance between the two of them was too close, so close that when her breath brushed against Xie Shi’an’s face, it was like a small feather brush lightly brushing past his face, making his skin tremble.
Xie Shi’an’s heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head abruptly.
“See, you don’t even dare to look at me.”
Seeing Xie Shi’an’s reaction, Sang Qianqian sat down, satisfied. She concluded with absolute certainty, “Xie Shi’an, you’re lying.”
She calmly took a bite of the fruit. “If you don’t want to tell me, then I will ask Sister Xiaoshuang myself later.”
Xie Shi’an was silent and conflicted.
Knowing that Ruan Xiaoshuang was still alive and he had met her again, he was indeed too excited and had overlooked some details.
He indeed knew about Ruan Xiaoshuang’s blindness for a long time, but he had promised her that he would never tell anyone.
However…
Sang Qianqian had already finished eating the sugar apple and was about to stand up.
Xie Shi’an thought that she was going to find Ruan Xiaoshuang and stopped her subconsciously. “Don’t go.”
“Then you can tell me.” She smiled and sat down again.
Xie Shi’an’s gaze swept past Ruan Xiaodie’s room, which was not far away.
The door was ajar, and Ruan Xiaoshuang’s voice could be heard faintly. Ruan Xiaodie smiled happily after hearing what she said.
To be honest, Xie Shi’an had promised Ruan Xiaoshuang that he would not tell anyone about her blindness.
However, she had given so much, but the person who took what she gave had no idea from the beginning. This was unfair to Ruan Xiaoshuang.
Because of the things Ruan Cheng had done, the Sang family had always held a grudge against the Ruan family. Sang Minglang’s attitude toward Ruan Xiaoshuang had always been cold, even bad.
Now that her marriage was imminent, perhaps he should tell Qianqian the truth of the past. At least, Sang Minglang’s hatred for Ruan Xiaoshuang would not be so strong anymore.
Xie Shi’an lowered his voice and said something.
Sang Qianqian’s expression changed slightly. It was as if she had been struck by lightning, and she was unable to speak for a long time.
She had indeed heard from her brother that when his eyes were injured and he could not see for a while, the doctor had performed a cornea transplant for him to recover.
But who would have thought that the person who donated her cornea was actually…
Why was Sister Xiaoshuang so stupid!
Sang Qianqian’s nose felt a little sour. “Why didn’t you tell me about such a big thing earlier?”
“Sister Xiaoshuang asked me to not say anything.”
Xie Shi’an’s voice was low. “She didn’t want you, especially your brother, to know that she…”
Before he could finish, there was a commotion outside.
Xie Shi’an and Sang Qianqian hurriedly ran to the window. In the garden where the light was not very clear, Cui Ke and Jian Han were fighting each other. They knocked into the flowers and trees, causing them to move about and fall in a variety of ways.
Xie Shi’an said sternly, “Cui Ke! Stop!”
Sang Qianqian jumped in shock. Why were the two of them fighting?
She was afraid that Jian Han would be at a disadvantage, so she ran out in a hurry.
In the garden, Cui Ke and Jian Han had already separated. One of Cui Ke’s eyes was extremely swollen, and the corner of his mouth was bleeding.
Jian Han patted the flower petals on his body unhurriedly, and it seemed that he had no obvious injuries.
“Are you alright?”
Sang Qianqian’s anxious heart was finally put at ease. “What’s going on with you two? Why did you start fighting?”
“I’m fine.” Jian Han shook his head. “He stole my stuff and refused to return them to me.”
“F*ckyour mother!”
Cui Ke looked strangely angry, and his swollen eye made him look both embarrassed and funny.
He roared, “Do you dare repeat what nonsense you’ve said in front of Miss Sang and Young Master An?! Hmph, you dare to be so impudent in the Xie family, it’s good that I didn’t beat you to death!”
Jian Han looked at Cui Ke with extreme disdain. “You? Save it.”
Cui Ke flew into a rage. If Xie Shi’an had not already rushed out, he would have rushed over to beat Jian Han up.
Xie Shi’an’s face darkened. “What did you steal and not return?”
“Young Master An, it’s not that I don’t want to return it. I asked him where he got it, but he won’t tell me. He’s so arrogant. He even said…”
“What did he say?” Xie Shi’an frowned.
Cui Ke did not dare to hide anything. “He said that Ms. Sang is already Mrs. Shen, so he asked Young Master An not to have any wishful thinking and to give up on her!”
Sang Qianqian was embarrassed, and Jian Han’s words were a little too much.
Xie Shi’an, on the other hand, was calm and did not get angry. “You may have not caused the other things, but you stole something and refused to return it. That’s your own fault.”
“But that thing isn’t his!”
“This kid was wandering around the villa. The photos in his hands must have been stolen,” said Cui Ke unhappily. “Knowing that, of course I wouldn’t return it, but he took it by force!”
Xie Shi’an and Sang Qianqian were both stunned. “What photos?”
Cui Ke pointed at Jian Han angrily. “He snatched the photos away. It’s in his hands now.”
Jian Han was extremely calm as he took out a few photos from his pocket. “It’s nothing much. Didn’t someone send these photos to the Zhen family last time? Although we didn’t find out who the person behind this was, we can just use our toes to guess who sent them, right?”
His expression turned cold. “President Shen is magnanimous and won’t pursue this matter. However, as an outsider, I can’t stand it. It’s rare for me to come to the Xie family, so of course, I have to remind your Young Master An that Madam’s relationship with President Shen cannot be destroyed by just a few photos.”
“Jian Han, you have really misunderstood an innocent person.”
Sang Qianqian was speechless. “Shi’an couldn’t have sent these photos.”
“Madam, I know that you’re kind, but some so-called good people will take advantage of your kindness. You don’t need to have the intention of harming others, but you can’t be completely defenseless.”
Jian Han turned toward Xie Shi’an and said slowly, “But Young Master An, you should be very well-aware of where this photo came from, and whether I stole it or not..”
