Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 163

Her words succeeded in silencing Ling Junze. When Li Han was unconscious and sent back here this morning, Ling Junze had been aware that something serious must have happened and made such a self-controlled man to indulge himself like this.

But she never expected it to have something to do with Jiang Chujing.

Ling Junze's expression changed slightly. What Li Han was most worried about finally happened. Li Han had tried so hard to hide it. However, Shu Tian discovered Jiang Chujing's existence in the end.

So this seemingly powerful man was frightened. With no idea about how to deal with it, Li Han indulged in alcohol to numb himself.

Ling Junze was mixed with feelings. In fact, he could have had countless excuses to prevaricate Shu Tian's question. However, in the end, he decided to tell the truth. "I know."

Shu Tian clenched her fists, with her fingernails piercing her palm. She was so pained that every word seemed to take all her strength... "Does everyone know?"

Her voice trembled as if she would break down if Ling Junze gave her a positive answer.

"Shu Tian, calm down first. It's not what you think. I understand that you feel like being cheated and betrayed. You can doubt anything, but you have to believe that Li Han will never fall in love with anyone except you." Ling Junze looked firmly into her sad eyes, and his heart ached for this twenty-four-year-old girl who had gone through countless hardships. "I can tell you everything you want to know, as long as you ask me."

Everything?

Shu Tian blinked, absent-minded for a long time, but remained silent. At present, she was like a permitted peeper, confused about what to ask. There were too many questions, almost suffocating her.

Ling Junze was aware that she was at a loss and explained, "The woman in North Villas is Jiang Chujing, two years younger than Li Han. I don't know if Li Han has told you about her. To Li Han, Chu Jing is like a sister, and she can only be his sister."

Thinking of Li Han's anxiety at the gate of the North Villas last night, Shu Tian said with some mockery, "They are not related by blood, are they?"

Ling Junze was confused for a moment and then nodded. "No."

With his eyelids drooping, he added as if he came up with something, "Are you curious why Jiang Chujing is Li Han's sister since they have no any blood relationship?"

Ling Junze got to the point. In fact, it was what Shu Tian cared about the most.

Li Han disliked playing the field and he would not treat someone well for no reason. However, judging from his care for Jiang Chujing, it was apparent that he cared very much about Jiang Chujing.

"Because Jiang Chujing's parents were benefactors to Li Han. When he went to A Country for further study, he could hardly get enough food. Even if he took a lot of part-time jobs every day, his salary was just the tip of the iceberg compared to expensive tuition fees. It was Chujing's parents who had funded him to complete his studies. At that time, Li Han had made up his mind to repay them when he succeeded. However, on the way to Li Han's graduation ceremony, the couple suffered a car accident and both died. It has become the biggest scar in Li Han's heart." Speaking of it, Ling Junze was emotional. He always felt that the accident was distant, but it had actually been imprinted in his heart. "Before Chujing's parents passed away, they pleaded with Li Han to take care of their daughter. As a result, Chujing was not only Li Han's sister, but also his unshirkable responsibility."

Although Li Han had done enough to repay the debt he owed back then, the responsible man felt that it was not enough.

Shu Tian was surprised, and she felt a lump in her throat after listening to Ling Junze's words. Ji Chuanyi had told her that Li Han's family wasn't wealthy, and when Li Han had been at the end of his rope, it was Jiang Chujing's parents who had supported him. Therefore, Li Han would be grateful forever, not to mention that the couple died as an indirect result of his graduation ceremony. For Li Han, It must have been a devastating blow.

Shu Tian had never known it before.

Ling Junze lifted his teacup and took a sip. The warm and sweet fragrance of the tea was pervasive, making it easier for him to speak. "Later, Chujing was infected with an extremely rare H2 blood disease. There are only a few similar cases. Chujing could not be exposed to the sun, and her wounds aren't self-healing. Besides, her blood system has acute rejections. She had suffered from the disease for many years, and Li Han had done a lot. Now she was better, so Li Han brought her back now. For fear that you would misunderstand him and that Jiang Chujing's condition would deteriorate, Li Han kept it a secret carefully. But he didn't mean to do it. He had no other choice."

"Blood disease?" Shu Tian thought of the pale and weak face last night. Indeed, the girl looked sickly pale.

"Yes, there is no cure yet. Doctors can only reduce her pain as much as possible. And Li Han supports her, under a lot of strain, both physically and mentally."

Shu Tian covered her mouth in surprise. "He never told me..."

If he had told Shu Tian, it wouldn't have turned into the situation last night.

Ling Junze sighed and gently comforted her like an elder brother, "Don't worry, Li Han absolutely doesn't love her. Shu Tian, I hope you can trust him on this point."

Ling Junze had known Li Han well after being his friend for so many years. Li Han was a good man and he would not cheat on Shu Tian.

Shu Tian felt more relieved, and her interrogation was more of a grievance. "Why didn't he tell me. Was I so untrustworthy?"

"He doesn't tell you because he values you too much." Ling Junze laughed a short laugh. "If you're not that important to him, maybe he'll tell you everything. You're so essential that he is afraid that you wouldn't forgive him. He just cannot risk losing you at all."

It was said that the onlookers knew better than the players. As a bystander, Ling Junze knew that Li Han loved Shu Tian more than Li Han thought, and Shu Tian loved Li Han very much as well.

If one of them didn't care about the other, how would they torture each other like this?

"Han is not a person with a messy relationship. He had a bad past, so he resisted women and was afraid of falling in love with someone. You are an exception, so you don't have to worry about him falling in love with other women at all. He loves you with his heart and soul." Ling Junze gazed at Shu Tian, wishing that Shu Tian could stay with Li Han forever. Then, he added with a trace of bitterness in his gentle eyes. "He always does everything well and overcomes the difficulties alone without telling you. In fact, he is willing to tell you, but he is used to enduring the pain on his own. Shu Tian, can you give him a chance? All these years, it's really tough for him to be alone."
