Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 838: Chapter 506: Union

”Alright, alright, let’s go back. The child is grown, she knows what she’s doing.” Han Leming patted his wife’s worried face and turned toward home.

”You sure have a big heart.” Mrs. Han muttered, following him inside, looking at her husband worriedly, ”From Xuexue’s expression, something major might have happened with Yu Wen over there. Shouldn’t we go to the lab and take a look?”

Han Leming waved his hand: ”It’s the child’s matter, don’t meddle blindly. If help is needed, Xuexue will call us.”

”Alright.” Mrs. Han replied reluctantly, distractedly continuing her task, ”Ouch!” She pricked her hand with the needle, and Han Leming stepped forward and took his wife’s hand, ”Forget it, you can’t focus on your embroidery anymore. Why don’t you play chess with me?”

Mrs. Han shook off her husband’s hand: ”You lousy chess player, always making excuses when you lose. I’m not playing with you; only our daughter humors you.”

”I was only pretending to lose to cheer her up. I definitely won’t make excuses playing with you. Come on, come on.” Han Leming pulled his wife over to the chessboard, ”You need to get used to just the two of us, because when our daughter marries, she won’t be able to come home often to keep you company.”

”Alright, alright, you want me to play chess with you, just say it plainly, no need for excuses.” Mrs. Han impatiently slapped her husband’s arm, ”Play properly, no more talking.”

”Yes, yes...” Han Leming agreed with a sigh of relief, knowing his wife’s personality well. Since they had their daughter, her heart had been tied to the daughter, though the daughter had never caused her much worry about her studies growing up.

But unfortunately, her marriage wasn’t smooth, and now that there was finally some hopefulness, his wife’s happiness was imaginable. Seeing their daughter’s expression earlier, his wife’s heart must be hanging. If she sat there doing cross-stitch, who knows what she might do to her hand.

While the Han couple played chess, each with their own thoughts, Han Xue hurriedly arrived at the lab’s entrance. From Yu Wenze’s voice on the phone, things were definitely not looking good.

She initially wanted to bring her parents along to the lab, in case something happened, there’d be someone to rely on, but Yu Wenze had instructed her repeatedly not to tell her parents, and with her character, she wouldn’t break the promise once given.

Besides, knowing Yu Wenze, he wouldn’t have given such instructions unless there was a real inconvenience.

Lost in thoughts, she stepped into the lab’s main room, looking around, finding it empty.

”Yu Wen?” she tried calling out softly.

”Yu Wen, where are you?” she raised her voice.

”Bang!” The restroom door suddenly swung open, and Yu Wenze appeared at the door, looking like a drenched chicken, trembling all over: ”Xuexue.....You’re... you’re here?”

Seeing Yu Wenze’s bloodshot eyes and his shivering body, Han Xue’s heart immediately panicked: ”You, how did you end up like this? Did you call 120? Apart from feeling cold, where else are you uncomfortable.”

”Xuexue, come in, listen... listen to me.” Yu Wenze retreated into the restroom, and splashed some more water on his head.

”You’re courting death!” Han Xue pulled him off balance and forcibly dragged him into the adjacent small break room, wrapped him in a towel, and turned on the warm air of the air conditioner.

”I was poisoned, I must stay awake this way.” While Han Xue was busy, Yu Wenze explained with a wry smile.

At that time, after pouring cold water on himself, the urge did not subside, it only kept his mind from losing control. Later, as he felt things were getting increasingly wrong, he called Han Xue.

Since returning to the country, he had been busy researching, hardly having any truly close friends. After thinking it over, he could only turn to Han Xue for help.

Making this call, he had struggled for a long time, not at all a glorious matter, yet if he dialed 120, in the future he wouldn’t be able to keep his footing in the school. Returning to the country made him understand one thing — public opinion is something one must be wary of, otherwise, you can’t stand firm at all.

After listening to Yu Wenze tell the story in broken sentences, Han Xue was shocked. The impression given by Yue Lingqin was that of a gentle and quiet person, yet she couldn’t expect her to do something like this.

”What should we do now?” Han Xue asked helplessly, looking at Yu Wenze.

”Take me, to the hospital.” Yu Wenze took a deep breath, ”Otherwise, I’ll end up burned into an idiot, this medicine, is that potent.”

”Wha—?” Han Xue panicked, ”Let’s go, go, we’re leaving right away. I’ll, I’ll carry you, okay?”
