Chapter 946: Chapter 944 The girl who gave him his "life", he could never abandon (2)

She was just about to ask, "What happened?" when she heard a loud "bang" from inside the house... as if something had heavily smashed onto the floor.

Xia Wan’an furrowed her brows at the closed door, then shifted her gaze back to Zhang Te, who was pacing back and forth near the entrance, seemingly oblivious to her presence, "What’s going on?"

Alerted by her voice, Zhang Te turned towards Xia Wan’an, "Miss Xia Wanwan, have you returned?"

Xia Wan’an nodded, looking towards the door, "What’s going on?"

"This..." Zhang Te had barely uttered two words when there was a crashing sound from inside the house, probably from some glass door or mirror shattering.

Zhang Te’s heart instantly leaped to his throat. He took a couple of steps unconsciously towards the door, wanting to go inside, but then the thought of Han Jingnian at the brink of rage made him stop in his tracks.

Seeing Zhang Te’s reaction, Xia Wan’an’s frown deepened, "What happened, exactly?"

More "bang, bang, bang" sounds came from behind the closed door, making Zhang Te’s heart skip beats. He muttered a few frantic "What should I do?" before realizing that Xia Wan’an was waiting for his response, and quickly blurted out, "Here’s the thing, Miss Xia Wanwan, you know about the incident last night, where Mr. Han was drugged, right? The person who... who drugged him... was Young Master Zhijin’s mother, that is, the elder madam..."

"Even though it didn’t lead to serious consequences, Mr. Han was understandably furious when he found out... Yet Mr. Han hasn’t gone to confront the elder madam about this, but Young Master Zhijin himself came to wait for Mr. Han at our doorstep..."

"Mr. Han told Young Master Zhijin that it had nothing to do with him, but Young Master Zhijin insisted on apologizing and pleading on behalf of his mother... That wouldn’t have been the worst part, but what made things worse was... Young Master Zhijin mentioned something else, something related to..."

Zhang Te knew that Han Jingnian was aware of Xia Wanwan being Xia Wan’an when he found out that Xia Wanwan was indeed his wife, but Mr. Han had instructed him to pretend ignorance, so he changed the almost slipped "you" to: "...related to the lady..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Wan’an immediately understood that Han Zhijin had told Han Jingnian about the negotiations his mother had with her in the past.

What should she say about Han Zhijin? He must have been trying to protect his mother, yet he didn’t want to hide from Han Jingnian what his mother had done... So, he faced what his mother dared not, standing up for her... On one hand was his mother who had carried him for ten months, raised and loved him, and on the other was his dear uncle, whom he truly liked and respected...

Perhaps in this matter, the most distressed person was Han Zhijin?

Zhang Te, who had no idea what was going through Xia Wan’an’s mind, continued, "The lady is Mr. Han’s Achilles’ heel. With Young Master Zhijin laying everything out, it immediately enraged Mr. Han... The drugging incident, though the elder madam acted inappropriately, didn’t lead to severe consequences and there was still room for negotiation. But when it involved the lady, it really became thorny, with nobody able to calm Mr. Han down..."

Noises of crashing and banging once again came from inside the house, louder than before.

Engrossed in her own thoughts, Xia Wan’an suddenly snapped back to reality and said to Zhang Te, "I’ll talk to you later, I need to go in and see what’s happening." She then walked to the door, punched in the code, and pushed the door open to enter.
