21st-century film empress Xu Xinchen is reborn into the body of Lu Minshi in the 1980s.

Facing a boyfriend who betrayed her and had an affair with her younger sister, and a two-faced stepmoth...

Chapter Ninety-Three

And so Lu Shuangshuang left her parents and went abroad alone.

Xu Xinchen is still in the hospital. Chen Ningsheng should visit her when he has time, and if he doesn't have time, he should ask the nanny to visit her.

Time passed day by day, and as Gu Yan looked at Xu Xinchen, who was still not waking up, he felt increasingly cheated. Why did good people always end up not getting good rewards?

Why is it that Lu Shuangshuang can now live a carefree and happy life abroad, while they have become like this?

Since Xu Xinchen was admitted to the hospital, Chen Ningsheng seems to have aged ten years, and his whole body has become haggard.

Chen Ningsheng had to deal with company affairs while also worrying about Xu Xinchen's health. It would be unbearable for anyone to be caught between the two.

"I've told you so many times, things are already like this, no one can be blamed. And since it has already happened, the most important thing to do now is to find out what happened."

Since being admitted to the hospital, Chen Ningsheng has become much more haggard and has no energy at all. Siqi and the others felt sorry for him when they saw this.

But there was nothing that could be said, since the man was completely deaf to what anyone else was saying.

In the end, Siqi brought Chen Ningsheng to the hospital entrance. "How many times have I told you? Can't you listen to me? What does this mean? What do you want to do?"

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, he felt uncomfortable. After all, this was the fault of both of them. If Siqi had been more capable, Xu Xinchen wouldn't have ended up like this.

To be honest, it's still my own fault, but what can I do now that it's already happened?

"It's not that I don't want to talk, and it's not that I want to cause any trouble. I'm just really upset. Why hasn't Xu Xinchen woken up yet? Didn't the doctor already say that everything is fine, everything is fine?"

What Chen Ningsheng couldn't accept was that the doctor had said everything was fine, but the woman still wouldn't wake up; this was a very serious problem.

“I know, but you can’t joke around with your health like this. If something really happens to you now, how will you take care of her? Think about it carefully. I’m not going to say anything more. There are many things I don’t want to say. You should know what to do. You’re not a child anymore.”

He didn't say these things on a whim; he had wanted to tell this man for a long time, but he didn't know how to do it, since they worked together every day.

I finally came back this time to help him solve some problems, but now it seems he was overthinking it; it was simply impossible.

Xu Xinchen's problem is quite a big one, and it's really not easy to solve.

"You don't need to worry about me. I'm all grown up now, so I naturally know what I should and shouldn't do. Just do your job well."

After finishing his speech, he left with his documents.

I originally came to the hospital to take a good look at this woman, but I didn't expect to run into Gu Yan downstairs.

When the two met, all they felt was awkwardness; there was nothing else.

Gu Yan felt guilty and even more self-reproachful when he saw Chen Ningsheng; he was quite upset.

I always feel like I've let them both down, that I've made Xu Xinchen the way she is today.

Another issue is that it was my fault that Lu Shuangshuang ran away, which was very awkward. Ever since I found out that she went abroad, I've felt even more uncomfortable.

"How dare you come here? If it weren't for you, Xu Xinchen wouldn't be in this state. I really don't know what you're thinking. This matter is inseparable from you. Let me tell you, Gu Yan, I've really seen through you. How Xu Xinchen treated you, and this is how you treat her now?"

Chen Ningsheng truly felt it wasn't worth it for his woman. He did so much for Gu Yan, but in the end, this is the result. It's truly tragic.

"I…"

Gu Yan didn't know what to say or what to do.

He still felt somewhat guilty, after all, it was his fault and no one else could bear the responsibility.

"Although I don't know what to say, and I know you're still blaming me, I really had no choice. Lu Shuangshuang said that as long as I cooperated with her, she could keep Xu Xinchen by my side, but I never expected..."

Continuing to remain silent, still unsure of what to say, Gu Yan's words began to become incoherent.

Chen Ningsheng didn't want to say much to him either; there was nothing to talk about between two grown men.

"You're forced to put yourself at the center of everything. Do you know what Xu Xinchen is thinking? She's been so good to you, how have you repaid her? Tell me."

It would have been better if Gu Yan hadn't brought it up. Now that he has, the two of them need to have a proper talk, because this isn't something that just any few of them would know so easily.

Moreover, this matter concerns Xu Xinchen's health; he's currently lying in a hospital bed. How can he possibly remain calm?

Come down.

"Don't say I didn't tell you, Gu Yan, don't let me see you again, or I'll make you regret it. And don't think I don't know what you've done. If it weren't for Xu Xinchen, you would have gone bankrupt by now. Not only did you steal the company's copyrights, but you also planted spies and even took over my company?"

Gu Yan had known about these methods for a long time, but Xu Xinchen kept stopping him, saying that he must have some unspeakable reason, and that he wasn't like this before.

However, Chen Ningsheng couldn't tell at all that this man had some unspeakable difficulty or was forced to do this; he simply couldn't see it.

"I...I really didn't mean it. I know I've done a lot of wrong things before, but I know I've changed now. I'm sorry."

Gu Yan could tell from his eyes the resentment in his heart. He himself couldn't stand what had happened in the past, let alone the person involved.

"Alright, I won't pursue this matter any further. Think it over carefully and decide what to do next."

That's how things were originally. To be honest, Gu Yan didn't want to resist, but Xu Xinchen's current state left him feeling helpless.

Chen Ningsheng felt uncomfortable whenever he thought about Xu Xinchen telling him to let Gu Yan go. He couldn't understand why this woman, who was already in such a state, would still protect this man.
