Chapter 306 Who exactly are you?

Jiang Shiyuan sneered, "However, I think even if I went to Xie Jinghuai now and said that the person who saved you back then wasn't Lin Zhixin, he probably wouldn't believe me."

After all, he loved Lin Zhixin so much, and for the past five years he had devoted himself to her health. He even accompanied Lin Zhixin to see a doctor on the day Tongtong was born.

Over the past five years, he had devoted so much time, energy, and sincerity. A man as proud as him could never believe that the woman he had cherished so dearly was a fraud who had completely manipulated him.

At this point, there's no point in bringing up the past.

Even without any love involved, it was still a hurdle in her heart, a source of lingering resentment that she might only be able to overcome by divorcing and severing all ties completely.

The scars will always remain.

But gradually, the pain stopped.

"A-Yuan," Fu Chenzhou called out in a hoarse voice.

Jiang Shiyuan was slightly taken aback. She turned her face to meet his gaze, and her breath hitched.

For some reason, she found it hard to bear him calling her so affectionately.

Fu Chenzhou smiled and asked earnestly, "From now on, may I call you that?"

"Mmm." Jiang Shiyuan nodded as if possessed, her cheeks inexplicably flushing again.

Just when she thought that the atmosphere had built up to this point, and Fu Chenzhou was about to say something that would make her blush, the man suddenly changed the subject:

"Since Lin Zhixin took the place of your savior, it means that she never gave Xie Jinghuai a blood transfusion."

Since she has never received a blood transfusion, how did her body deteriorate to this state?

This question also hits the nail on the head.

Jiang Shiyuan pondered for a moment, then rested his chin on his hand. "I remember that Lin Zhixin was quite healthy when she was little. She often participated in the school's sports meets and even won some good places. Her physical fitness was better than mine."

Later, she inexplicably became frail and weak, and it didn't stay like that all the time; it came in waves. Although I had my suspicions, she had a doctor's diagnosis and evidence proving she was indeed unwell, so there was nothing anyone could do about it.

"Is there nothing anyone can do about her? All I know is that a lie can never become the truth."

Fu Chenzhou scoffed, his gaze deep and sharp. "Don't forget, she also has a skilled cardiologist as an assistant. Finding a way to cause Lin Zhixin some minor health problem shouldn't be too difficult."

"How could... they actually do that?" Jiang Shiyuan stared in disbelief, a chill running down her spine.

"Of course, there are many banned drugs abroad that can achieve the same effect."

Fu Chenzhou's gaze was unfathomable. "However, what side effects there might be, and whether it's like drinking poison to quench thirst over the long term, remains to be seen."

Jiang Shiyuan calmed his thoughts and took a deep breath:

"I don't have time to think about Lin Zhixin's family's schemes right now. I'm only worried about whether Xi'er can wake up and who exactly did this to her!"

"Miss Su can't bear to leave you alone, so she will definitely wake up."

Fu Chenzhou personally served her soup, his voice gentle as if coaxing her, "What you need to do now is to eat obediently."

Leave everything else to me.

Holding the steaming bowl of soup, Jiang Shiyuan took a sip, which warmed her stomach and her heart along the way.

After finishing their meal, Fu Chenzhou quickly cleared the table and was about to leave when Jiang Shiyuan, watching his tall figure, spoke seriously:

"President Fu."

The man paused and turned around.

"Did you know me a long time ago?" Jiang Shiyuan finally couldn't help but ask the question that had puzzled her for so long.

Fu Chenzhou's breath hitched.

He, who was usually fearless, was now afraid to answer the question, and even dared not look her in the eye.

"What is your relationship with my mother? Do you know my mother? Why do you know so much about my past? Who exactly are you?" Jiang Shiyuan was determined to get to the bottom of things.

I am someone who has silently loved you for many years.

In the end, Fu Chenzhou said nothing, only gave her a deep look before rushing out the door.

Jiang Shiyuan was left standing there, stunned, surrounded by endless, intense suspense.

...

After leaving the Shen family, Shen Zhantang immediately returned to the hospital and stayed by Su Xier's side without taking off his clothes, waiting for him to wake up.

He no longer cared about the Shen family's affairs. Nor did he want to concern himself with the Shen Group's affairs.

Originally, doing business was not his forte; he loathed the sycophancy and deceit in the business world.

From a young age, he was a skilled pianist, and if it weren't for Shen Songnian's obstruction, he would have naturally embarked on the path of art.

Throughout his life, he was always being pushed and driven forward. Because it wasn't his own choice, his journey was far more difficult than that of his good brother, Xie Jinghuai.

Now that Xi'er is in trouble, he has seen through the selfish and self-serving nature of his family. Power, fame, and fortune are all fleeting clouds and dust; he doesn't care about them at all.

He only wanted Xi'er.

Beside the bed, Shen Zhantang held Su Xier's cold hand tightly, pressed it to his lips, and kissed it again and again:

"Who said...who said the Shen family doesn't have any devoted lovers?"

"Xi'er, I was wrong. Please beat me when you wake up, okay? Beat me to death."

"Xi'er, let's get married. Haven't you always wanted to go to Switzerland to see the snow? We'll leave as soon as you wake up... just the two of us, and we'll never come back."

"Xi'er...it doesn't matter if we don't have children, I'll just pamper you like a child for the rest of my life..."

I have so much to say, but I regret it now.

He regretted being a coward and regretted not having a fight with the guy surnamed Gao.

But if he didn't, how could he face his true feelings?

Outside the ward, Secretary He's phone was ringing off the hook with calls from the group. Dozens of plans and project documents were waiting for President Shen's signature, and a bunch of schedules were waiting for Shen Zhantang's confirmation.

Given Secretary He's authority, he had no choice but to decline each offer.

"Secretary He, this can't go on! When will President Shen be able to return to work normally at the group?!" The project manager on the other end was extremely anxious.

Secretary He glanced through the glass window and saw Shen Zhantang standing by the hospital bed, his back as firm as a rock, motionless for hours.

He sighed helplessly and sadly, "Our wife hasn't woken up yet. Maybe President Shen can go back when she does."

"Madam...?! When did Mr. Shen get married? Such a big event should be announced so we can all share in the joy!"

"President Shen hasn't officially gotten married yet. Once the official ceremony is held, he will definitely announce it to the world."

"So you're already engaged? Congratulations! But I hope President Shen can still find some time to come to the company, at least to approve the project documents, otherwise we can't move forward!"

Before Secretary He could even catch her breath after hanging up the phone, another call came in:

"I didn't tell you not to..."

"Secretary He, we've found the friend of the second young lady that President Shen asked us to find. She'll be arriving in Beijing at 8 PM tonight!"

...

At 8:00 AM sharp, Beijing Airport.

A girl with big, wavy hair, dressed in high-end designer brands, was walking through the airport terminal with her suitcase.

Suddenly, two bodyguards in black suits stepped forward and blocked her way.

"Gu Yao, Miss Gu?"

Gu Yao was stunned and took half a step back. "You are..."

"We are bodyguards for the Shen Group."

One of the bodyguards took the suitcase from her hand and said in a calm tone, "Our CEO, Mr. Shen, is waiting for you outside and would like to invite you to get in the car for a chat."

Gu Yao's eyes widened, almost unable to believe it:

"You...President Shen...came all the way to pick me up?"

"yes."

Gu Yao tried to suppress her smile, but she couldn't help but beam with joy!

Mr. Xie of the Xie Group and the eldest son of the Shen family are two of the most handsome men in Beijing. Anyone who has ever seen them is bound to fall in love with them. Fu Yao has long since secretly fallen for Shen Zhantang.

Hearing that President Shen had come to pick her up in person, she felt elated, as if she were walking on clouds, and her brain was already in a frenzy.

A black Bentley parked outside the airport gate was quite eye-catching.

The bodyguard opened the car door, and Gu Yao climbed in. What came into her view was Shen Zhantang's haggard and pale, yet handsome and unrestrained face.

His slightly melancholic and carefree demeanor only added to his masculinity and made him even more lovable.

"Mr. Chen," Gu Yao said, blushing and flustered.

Her family background wasn't bad, but it couldn't compare to the Shen family. She was just hanging out in Shen Yunlang's social circle while studying abroad.

The man's long legs were lazily crossed, the tips of his black leather shoes gleaming coldly in the dim light, his expression unreadable.

"I heard that Miss Gu and my sister have a good relationship."

Gu Yao nodded vigorously, "Yes! We had a very good relationship in Y country."

Shen Zhantang didn't even glance at her. "On the night of the 9th, you went to Nightclub with my sister?"

Gu Yao's eyes flickered. "Yes, we went."

However, this subtle expression was precisely caught by the man's peripheral vision.

"President Shen, is...is there a problem?"

Gu Yao cautiously probed, "Yun Lang and I were just going out for some entertainment... Did something happen to Yun Lang?"

"Was it you or my sister who suggested going to Nightfall?" Shen Zhantang suddenly looked at her, his gloomy gaze making her shiver.

"Yes...yes..."

"Is such a simple question so difficult for Miss Gu to answer?"

That night, Shen Yunlang had rehearsed her story with her before going. Shen Yunlang said that her brother didn't like her going to those messy places, so if President Shen asked, she should never say that she arranged the trip.

However, the man's aura was too powerful, his imposing presence even without anger, and the chilling aura emanating from him made it almost impossible for her to breathe!

Finally, she lowered her head and took a deep breath:

"It was Yunlang who suggested we go. I didn't really want to go, but she dragged me there, so I had no choice."

In the rearview mirror, the man's handsome face turned pale, and his fierce aura intensified.

"Mr. Shen, Yun Lang repeatedly told me that night that if you contacted me, you absolutely must not say that she suggested we go. Please, please don't say that I betrayed Yun Lang, otherwise we'll really be finished as friends..."

Before Gu Yao could finish speaking, Shen Zhantang pressed a button, and the car door on her side suddenly sprang open.

"Get out of here." The man gritted his teeth, his voice filled with a chilling coldness.
