Chapter 1240: Chapter 1267: Dust Settles (Part 3)

Lu Xingshen watched Shi Nuan get into the car and leave, a sudden intense pain surged through his heart, even overshadowing the pain on his body, and he collapsed to the ground.

He didn’t mention that in order to save Chu Zhan, his leg was scalded and lost a piece of skin by a piece of scorching hot iron as he entered the sea of fire, the burning pain was intense.

And when he jumped off the building, fearing Chu Zhan couldn’t take it, he instinctively used his own body to cushion Chu Zhan, causing his entire back to be severely impacted.

Speaking made his chest hurt; the words he spoke were almost squeezed out by biting his tongue to pieces, and now with space empty, his mouth was filled with a metallic taste, the pain nearly obliterated his thoughts.

"Xiao Nuan."

He kneeled on one knee on the ground, gasping for breath with a voice that was hoarse as to be nearly inaudible.

"I only deceived you once or twice, my love for you is true, wanting to marry you is true, it’s just that my approach was wrong, but the feelings and care for you were never a lie."

"But I missed the chance, and I really regret it, but those things you didn’t want were my true heart!"

There was no sound around, he was too tired, he wanted to rest, using all his strength to call his assistant, "Come and get me, I can’t hold on any longer."

The most difficult and dangerous period had been safely passed.

What came next was very natural.

Chu Zhan was sent to the hospital and confirmed to have only superficial injuries, after applying medicine and resting for a night, he was fine.

As for Jian Qingqing, she was reduced to ashes in the fire.

They unanimously decided to keep this incident from the Chu Family members to avoid worrying them.

However, the Jian Family learned about how Lu Xingshen suppressed Shi Nuan over the years, including preventing them from recognizing her.

It infuriated them, Jian Xiong in particular swore to teach Lu Xingshen a lesson for mistreating his granddaughter.

The position of this hospital director might need a change.

Shi Nuan immediately gently persuaded and stopped them, although she no longer had feelings for Lu Xingshen, he had once been family after all, and she couldn’t bring herself to take revenge on Lu Xingshen.

So just let it be, let them live separately in peace, each to their own future.

Having just recognized his granddaughter back, Jian Xiong naturally could only comply with whatever Shi Nuan said, even if he was fuming at Lu Xingshen inside, he could only endure it.

But he couldn’t just swallow this grievance, that bastard bullied his granddaughter, it couldn’t be so easily forgiven.

He had plans to stir up trouble, make Lu Xingshen’s position unpleasant, at least keep him busy for a couple of years, wouldn’t it be good if it exhausted him?

But Jian Xiong wouldn’t voice these little schemes.

He looked at Shi Nuan with kindness, knowing the hardships Shi Nuan faced as a child, his heart ached more, "Nuannuan, from now on, return to our home, Grandpa will make up for all the love you missed."

Shi Nuan could feel Jian Xiong’s sincerity and was deeply moved, "Thank you, Grandpa."

This word ’Grandpa’ brought tears to Jian Xiong’s eyes.

Grandma was impatient, "I am Grandma, call me that."

Shi Nuan obediently called her, followed by Jian Mother and Jian Father jumping in for attention, Shi Nuan satisfied them one by one, watching the Jian Family laugh happily, she felt even more fulfilled in her heart.

She had never imagined she could have a family.

Moreover, a family that protected her this way, Shi Nuan truly felt it was all worth it, her life was complete.
