Chapter 259 Regret
For the first time, Zheng Xiuheng felt like an idiot, incompetent, self-willed, and a fool who had no idea of the ways of the world. What made him even more upset was that he seemed to see himself, a self with the same sad fate but slightly different.
Regardless of other things, Zheng Xiuheng was a confident and thoughtful person most of the time, except for a few special moments. However, with regard to Han Zhiyuan, everything was beyond his expectations. He thought that he would be grateful for the help he gave in the end, but it brought great harm to a person...
Looking at the stars in the sky, Zheng Xiuheng really didn't know what he could do this time. He really couldn't think of anything. An inexplicable irritability swept over his heart. He hadn't felt this depressed for a long time.
Just a few hours ago, Zheng Xiuheng drove to an apartment in Yeongdeungpo. On the way, Han Zhiyuan was still as shy as before, until the car got closer and closer to her home...
"Senior, where are we going?"
"Go to your house!"
Zheng Xiuheng said this as a matter of course, still concentrating on driving the car, without looking at Han Zhiyuan's expression.
Han Zhiyuan was in shock, as if she had lost her mind to Zheng Xiuheng's words. After a full minute, she screamed, "Why did you go to my house?"
Zheng Xiuheng expected Han Zhiyuan's overreaction, so he turned around and said with a smile: "Help you, the PD and writer Li Zhimei actually know about your family's problems, but they don't know how to help you, so they hope I can think of a solution!"
Silence... The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive. The girl who had always been shy, cute, and gentle screamed after the silence: "Stop the car, stop the car, stop the car!"
Zheng Xiuheng frowned, and then said in a deep voice: "There is no way to park here. Zhiyuan, please don't get too excited. I don't have any bad intentions or bad thoughts. In fact, this is what they asked me to do a month ago!"
"But I think this is different from the usual situation. This is your family affair and the most private part. It is not appropriate for outsiders to interfere. So I didn't make a decision at the time. I just wanted to observe. But this month your mood seems to be getting more and more unstable. You are always in a daze and look sad. Although we are not close friends and have not known each other for a long time, I think you are a very good person. We are colleagues and now we are participating in a program together, so this is the situation!"
"parking!"
Han Zhiyuan became quiet because of Zheng Xiuheng's words, but her voice was trembling when she said this.
Zheng Xiuheng shook his head and said, "I can't do it!"
“Crack!”
"Bang!"
Seeing Han Zhiyuan reaching out to open the car door, Zheng Xiuheng was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He reached out and grabbed her. The car door was closed heavily again because Han Zhiyuan was holding it. Controlling the steering wheel with one hand, Zheng Xiuheng pulled Han Zhiyuan down with his right hand, and at this moment cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Are you crazy?"
"I beg you to stop the car and don't meddle in my business. I appreciate your kindness, senior, but I don't need your help, no!" Han Zhiyuan sat up and shouted loudly, her eyes were a little red, tears were rolling in her eyes, and the look she gave Zheng Xiuheng was full of pleading.
Zheng Xiuheng seemed to be hurt by this look, and felt a little uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, he said sincerely: "I don't know why you insist so much, but I don't want to give you cheap care. I really want to help you, so that your sister can get better care, your mother can also get a prosthesis, and even..."
"I can't afford it!"
"What?"
"I can't pay you back, I can't pay you back for anything, I can't pay you back for anything. Senior... please let me get off the car, I beg you!"
Zheng Xiuheng was a little shaken by Han Zhiyuan's repeated plea, but his character was not the kind that would change easily, so after a brief silence, he looked forward, adjusted his mood, and said calmly: "Sorry, I can't do it!"
In this way, Zheng Xiuheng held the steering wheel with his left hand and Han Zhiyuan with his right hand and drove towards the destination.
Han Zhiyuan just stared at him blankly, and kept staring at him, but her eyes slowly lost focus and she lowered her head.
Han Zhiyuan lives in a mid-range apartment building with a large living room, an open kitchen, two bedrooms and a dressing room.
Zheng Xiuheng pulled Han Zhiyuan, who had lifeless eyes, into the elevator. At this moment, Han Zhiyuan seemed to have completely lost spirit and soul. She let Zheng Xiuheng hold her hand. If he let go, she would just stand there motionless.
Even at this moment, Zheng Xiuheng still thought that it was Han Zhiyuan's self-esteem that was causing trouble. He did not mean to look down on her. The reason for helping her was that he recognized her as a "junior". In fact, Han Zhiyuan should be considered his senior, but she always took care of him like a senior, and Zheng Xiuheng was very grateful.
In addition, he had experienced too many emotional changes during this period, and Lee Jong-min and Lee Ji-mi's requests made him make up his mind. However, Han Ji-won's resistance did not soften at all, which made him feel a little subtle and weird.
According to the address provided by Li Zhongmin, the elevator stopped at the eleventh floor. Through the narration of Li Zhongmin and the others, Zheng Xiuheng knew that this house was bought by Han Zhiyuan's family before the car accident.
This alone proves that Han Zhiyuan's family used to be well-off, but since the car accident four years ago, her family has undergone tremendous changes, and the only thing left is this house.
According to Li Zhongmin, Han Zhiyuan's family was happy because their daughter was admitted to the Department of Fine Arts of Hongik University, so they wanted to drive to the school to give their eldest daughter who was attending the opening ceremony a surprise. But on the way there, a minibus rushed out madly in front of a bend. At the critical moment, Han Zhiyuan's father turned the steering wheel sharply, and the minibus instantly hit the diagonal side of the car. The huge impact force knocked the car far away and even rolled over twice. Unfortunately, Han Zhiyuan's father died on the spot, his mother's legs were completely crushed to death, and his sister fell into an infinite coma.
There is no doubt that it was Han Zhiyuan's father who turned the steering wheel at the critical moment, which allowed the other two to survive, but they did not live... happily.
Zheng Xiuheng was extremely shocked when he learned about Han Zhiyuan's family situation. He really didn't expect that this girl would have such a family background. But now everything made sense. Behaviors like hiding in the corridor and crying were all justified.
Pulling Han Zhiyuan to her door, Zheng Xiuheng wanted her to open the door, but Han Zhiyuan just stared blankly ahead with no life in her eyes.
In desperation, Zheng Xiuheng could only knock on the door, but it was nearly two minutes later that the door slowly opened. It was at this moment that Zheng Xiuheng suddenly felt regretful.
