Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 421
Xinyan’s words were not wrong. Given Han Chaoxu’s personality, it was impossible for him to break up after his girlfriend had an accident, especially since they had already confirmed their relationship.
Han Chaoxu was touched as he realized his sister was helping him out.
After greeting He Jinxuan, the three of them headed towards the hospital room.
When they arrived, they heard voices coming from inside: "Oh, Zhenhua, you really are unlucky, your leg ended up like this. Forget about participating in the National Day performance, you might even have to retire early, right?"
As soon as those words were said, someone chimed in: "Zhenhua, what if your leg doesn’t recover, do you think your boyfriend, the platoon leader, would break up with you?"
Then a gentle voice said, "Alright, we’re here to visit Zhenhua, aren’t you supposed to share some good news with her?"
For some reason, Xinyan detected a hint of "white lotus" vibes in that girl’s words.
The girl who had spoken earlier laughed, "Zhenhua, you say you can dance well, but what good is it if you lost this chance to be the lead dancer? You’ll never even get a shot at the General Political Department, it’s really a pity."
Han Chaoxu couldn’t listen anymore and pushed the door open, glaring coldly at the people inside the room: "You can leave now, I didn’t expect the art troupe to have such disrespectful members like you."
The three were so frightened that their faces fell, one of them opened her mouth to explain but was met with a stern "Get out." from Han Chaoxu.
Frightened, they quickly slipped out along with the others.
Upon seeing Han Chaoxu, Chu Zhenhua couldn’t maintain her facade anymore and threw herself into his arms as he approached her: "What should I do?"
Xinyan, having seen many scheming dramas in the future, combined with hearing what those girls said earlier, felt that Second Brother’s girlfriend had likely been set up.
It took some time for Chu Zhenhua to calm down, and when she saw others behind Han Chaoxu, she felt embarrassed: "Sorry, for letting you see a joke."
Han Chaoxu introduced, "Zhenhua, this is my sister Xinyan, she heard about what happened to you, and wanted to come and see you."
Xinyan stepped forward, "Hello, Sister Zhenhua, I’ve come on behalf of the family to see you."
Chu Zhenhua’s eyes immediately filled with tears, "Thank you, sorry for the trouble."
Xinyan took the things from Jinxuan and placed them on the bedside table, "You’re my Second Brother’s girlfriend, no need to be polite with us."
Han Chaoxu didn’t directly mention that Xinyan had come to help check her leg, as he was afraid of giving her false hope only to let her down.
Still, Chu Zhenhua was very touched, considering that even in her current state, apart from not breaking up with her, Han Chaoxu’s family still came to see her: "Thank you, Chaohu, without you, I wouldn’t know if I could hold on."
As a dancer, having a leg injury was such a cruel thing.
Chu Zhenhua’s leg was not bandaged, and because of the medication applied, it looked quite terrifying.
Xinyan had already been observing her leg while they were talking.
Seeing Xinyan looking at her leg, Chu Zhenhua tried to cover it with a sheet, "Don’t look, don’t scare yourself."
Xinyan reached out and caught the sheet she was pulling over, "You can’t cover it, there’s bacteria on the sheet that might lead to a more serious infection if it spreads."
After neatly placing the sheet, Xinyan asked, "Sister Zhenhua, before your leg started acting up, was it bitten by any insects, or did you encounter anything unusual?"
Chu Zhenhua looked at Xinyan with some confusion, "Sister Xinyan, why do you ask?"
Xinyan took a closer look for a while longer, "Before the leg acted up, did you hit or scrape it in any way?"
Chu Zhenhua was an ambitious person who worked hard in secret to secure the lead dance position for the National Day arts performance. Before her leg began acting up, she had indeed been pushed to the side by someone as she rushed, causing her to fall down the dining hall steps and scrape her skin.
Seeing that Xinyan was waiting for her reply, she recounted the incident.
Upon hearing this, Xinyan nodded, "Then think carefully, after the incident, did you use anything on your wound?"
Hearing Xinyan’s question, Chu Zhenhua asked, "Sister Xinyan, is something wrong?"
Xinyan glanced again at her leg, confirming she had been set up. This matter could be both big or small, but if she revealed the truth, would they believe her?
Han Chaoxu saw his sister’s hesitation, "Xinyan, if there’s something to say, just say it. It’s okay."
Xinyan glanced towards the door, at which Jinxuan turned to stand by it.
Now, only Chu Zhenhua, the patient, was in the room. After some careful thought, Xinyan said, "Your leg is very likely to have been tampered with in secret."
Chu Zhenhua and Han Chaoxu were both in disbelief for a moment.
It was Han Chaoxu who first responded, "Xinyan, what’s really happening here?"
