Chapter 290 Depression Strikes

testament to your abilities. It's a pity you messed things up.""So that's what you consider certain I don't need such certainty." He Hanchuan's eyes held a faint hint of sarcasm."He shook his head, "I...As He Hanchuan had predicted, Old Master He was very displeased with the Jiang family's behavior. He arranged for people to expose quite a few dark secrets of the Jiang Group. It wasn't until Old Master Jiang came forward to make peace and promised certain benefits that the two families reconciled.

—In the face of absolute interests, there are no eternal enemies, nor absolute friends.—

Towards Evening spent a few days playing the role of a patient in the hospital before returning home with He Hanchuan. Throughout this period, Jiang Qingran remained calm and silent, as if giving up on struggling. It seemed that everything was developing in a positive direction.

As for the matter of He Hanchuan coming to the family, Xiang Yu was very dissatisfied. His plaster cast had been removed, and he rolled up his sleeves to fight He Hanchuan, but in the end he was pulled apart by Lin Naolu.

"Ayu, don't cause trouble. Hanchuan did those things before because he was under pressure. We can't blame him for it!" Xiang Jianguo scolded.

Towards Yu let out a heavy snort, though his words were directed at He Hanchuan. "You can't even protect your own woman, what kind of man are you!"

"Thank you, gege, for giving me A-Wan. I will take good care of her in the future." He Hanchuan held A-Wan's hand and said solemnly.

"Damn, what are you talking about, brother Who's your brother How can you be so shameless!" Xiang Yu's eyes widened little by little, like a cat that had been stepped on its tail, "Besides, who said they were willing to give Wanwan to you What utter nonsense!"

He was so furious that he started swearing, not even noticing when Lina glared at him.

"My woman," isn't that admitting to the fact that A-Wan is my woman, bro" He chuckled lightly, emphasizing the last word with particular force.

Toward Yu's hair stood on end, his face turned a shade of dog-bitten red from anger. He was so furious that he couldn't utter a word for ages, his handsome face flushed.

"...." , Xiangwan pursed her lips and whispered, "Don't tease my brother."

He gently squeezed her palm and said nonchalantly, "I'm trying to ease the tension between myself and my brother-in-law."

Xiang Yu watched his little movements, his eyes almost bulging out. He clenched his jaw and stepped forward, forcing himself between the two, pushing He Hanchuan to the back.

"……Xiangyu still has some resentment towards He Zong about what happened before. He's a stubborn person, don't take it to heart." Lin Nalu walked beside him, wiping his husband's behind as usual.

He Hanchuan's eyes never left Xiang Wan ahead of him, upon hearing this, he only replied lightly: "Just call me Hanchuan, sister-in-law, no need to be so polite. As for my brother, he's just like that because he cares for Xiang Wan, I'm happy."

Lin Nalu heard the word "sister-in-law" and smiled with a complicated expression. She understood Xiang Yu's feelings a little bit now.

To get away from the annoying He Hanchuan, Xiang Yu intentionally quickened his pace, leading Xiang Wan into her previous room.

The room was exactly the same as it had been two years ago, even with the other dress she'd abandoned at her birthday party still lying on the bed, as if she had never left.

"Mom always blamed you for making Jiang Qingran sad, and she resented Dad for hitting you. But she always wanted you back. After you left, Mom would personally clean your room every day. If she was feeling particularly sentimental, she'd clean it several times a day. Then she'd sit on the bed and just stare blankly for hours." Xiang Yu's voice was much lower than usual.

向晚 drooped her eyes, slowly caressing the things in the room, a dull ache in her heart.

The things in the room were better preserved than she was, it was clear a lot of effort had been put into it.

"Mom, during that time... she also had depression. She was treated for a while and got better, but then it came back again. I saw her secretly taking medicine."

"Wawa, I'm not a smart person, but I know what you're worried about. You don't want to get close to Mom again, afraid she'll be used by Dad and force you to do things you hate. But... well... I don't even know how to say it!" Xiangyu nervously ran his hand through his hair.

Depression!

向晚 stared at him, her face pale with shock. Her lips trembled, as did her fingers, "Depression...relapse Why didn't you tell me"

The last two words were uttered with great difficulty, as if they were being squeezed out of his throat.

Toward Yu hummed in response, saying nothing more. He only nervously inserted his hand into his hair, tugging at the newly dyed black hair he'd chosen to appear more mature.

That's the default.d a cup of tea and, leaning against the sofa nonchalantly, blurted out, "President He, you're being stingy. After all, we're brothers. You've gotten married, but I'm still a single dog!"He had just br...
