Chapter 32 They had spent the night the day before.

A strong wind howled past, seemingly blowing from seven years ago until now.

The fallen leaves in the woods fell sparsely, and as if seeing that she did not answer, Lu Yanzhi urged, "Speak."

Looking at Lu Yanzhi's long, slanted shadow on the ground, Shi Nian said, "You should ask her what she said to me."

Lu Yanzhi frowned slightly: "Han Wei doesn't know you."

The implication is that she fabricated something out of nothing.

“Mr. Lu.” Shi Nian looked up, meeting Lu Yanzhi’s dark eyes, “You trust her that much?”

Lu Yanzhi did not answer immediately, but that familiar feeling resurfaced in his heart.

“Mr. Lu, there is no benefit for me to target Han Wei.”

She said, "Han Wei is your person, Mr. Lu. Your reputation and status in City A are something I, an unknown nobody, cannot match."

"If there wasn't a reason..."

She laughed: "Why would I want to court death?"

Lu Yanzhi frowned even more.

What the woman in front of me said did make sense.

But what reason would Han Wei, who only has six months to live, have to target someone she doesn't know?

In the end, his heart tipped in favor of Han Wei.

“Yining, I don’t care what happened between you, but I hope you can consider that she is a patient who only has six months left to live.”

"One of the reasons she participated in this program was to give strength to people like her who are suffering from illness."

Shi Nian looked at Lu Yanzhi, at his furrowed brows, his dark eyes, and at the words he spoke with such conviction. She then recalled what Han Wei had said to her earlier that day.

-

"In this era, marketing is everything."

"Did you really come to this show just to compete in songwriting and singing?"

"Fu's Entertainment is investing in you to generate returns, for commercial value, for monetization, understand?"

-

Did Han Wei really have such great ability to deceive him, or did he willingly believe her?

She doesn't understand.

I don't want to guess.

So, Shi Nian looked away.

"Mr. Lu, sometimes, you can be blinded by a single leaf. What you think is beautiful may not be as you imagine it to be." This was her final piece of advice.

Lu Yanzhi's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

She guessed what he was thinking.

From the moment she asked him to come into the woods, to her questions and answers, to her most recent sentence, she seemed to be able to completely see through his hesitation, wavering, and uncertainty, and all his thought processes.

She could even guide him to think in the direction of her words, influencing his judgment.

Only someone who knows him very well could have done all of this!

Who exactly are you?

The woman's mask in front of him was extremely irritating at that moment.

He reached out to pick it.

Shi Nian subconsciously took a step back, but the grass in the woods caused her stiletto heels to sink, and she twisted her ankle.

Lu Yanzhi subconsciously reached out and supported the woman's arm.

A bolt of lightning tore through the sky, followed by a deafening roar of thunder.

Lightning illuminated the grove of trees, and the woman, losing her balance, had her long coat fall off.

He held her thin arm, and the lightning illuminated the patches of bruises on her snow-white skin.

She looks heavier than when she's on stage.

"Boom..."

The belated thunderclap exploded in Lu Yanzhi's heart.

Deep in his memory, there was once someone who had similar scars.

The injuries were extremely severe.

It was seven years ago.

Seven years ago, I still vividly remember those sorrowful eyes of Shi Nian.

"you……"

Before Lu Yanzhi could say anything, the woman had already pulled her arm away from his grasp.

She put her long overcoat back on and steadied herself: "Thank you for helping me, Mr. Lu."

The words "President Lu" brought Lu Yanzhi back to his senses.

Yes, Shi Nian always called him "A-Zhi".

She said it made her feel very close to her mother because her father had always called her that before he died.

The woman in front of him was much thinner than Shi Nian.

Moreover, the woman was Fu Jinyan's kept woman, and she had a miscarriage for Fu Jinyan ten days ago.

He and Shi Nian went to the Civil Affairs Bureau six days ago, and they even spent the night there the day before.

Therefore, she couldn't possibly be Shi Nian.

Fu Jinyan, noticing something was wrong, was already heading this way.

"With such serious injuries, Fu Jinyan still let you participate in a variety show?" Lu Yanzhi asked inexplicably.

He himself didn't know why he spoke up.

“This is not something you should be concerned about, Mr. Lu,” Shi Nian replied.

Lu Yanzhi frowned. He wanted to say something, but Fu Jinyan had already arrived.

Shi Nian felt dizzy and couldn't hold on any longer, so she leaned on Fu Jinyan.

“sh… Yining!” Fu Jinyan was extremely anxious. He immediately reached out to support Shi Nian, and then glared fiercely at Lu Yanzhi.

Fu Jinyan wanted to say something, but Shi Nian just waved her hand.

Lu Yanzhi pursed his lips tightly.

Seeing the two of them being so intimate, he inexplicably spoke up again: "She's so badly injured, why are you still letting her come out to work?"

Fu Jinyan rolled his eyes.

Wasn't her injury caused by Lu Yanzhi?

He heard Lin Zhihuan tell him about it when he went to the hospital to see Shi Nian that day.

Shi Nian suffered a mild concussion from the accident, and the child could have been saved if he had stayed in bed.

It was Lu Yanzhi who pushed Shi Nian down the stairs to protect Han Wei.

The child is gone, and there are many other bruises and falls on her body. She is lucky that she didn't break any bones!

They were just about to get back to the nanny van when Lu Yanzhi insisted on talking to Shi Nian.

What right does Lu Yanzhi have to say these things now?

Fu Jinyan really wanted to give Lu Yanzhi a good scolding and show him what it meant to be Fu San, the number one hot-tempered man in City A!

Seeing Shi Nian made him very uncomfortable, so he simply said, "None of your business!"

Then he picked up Shi Nian and strode towards the nanny van.

Lu Yanzhi frowned as he watched the two leave. The woman's jet-black hair draped over Fu Jinyan's long arms, which inexplicably made him feel a little jealous.

The wind was still blowing, and leaves were blown down. One of them landed in Lu Yanzhi's palm.

He looked down at the leaf.

A leaf can block out the view.

Is that really the case?

Before he could figure it out, it started to rain.

Raindrops fell on the leaves in his palm.

Like someone's tears.

...

The nanny van drove for a while, then they switched to another car and drove to the hospital.

Shi Nian had calmed down a bit and was looking out the car window.

Fu Jinyan was still cursing at Lu Yanzhi, but she didn't want to think about it anymore.

Lu Yanzhi's status in City A is unmatched; even if she and Fu Jinyan were to be together, they wouldn't pose the slightest threat to him.

So why bother?

What she needs to do is hold onto what she can hold onto and accomplish what she wants to do.

That's enough.

"Buzzing".

My phone vibrated again.

Shi Nian glanced at it; it was a message from Lu Yanzhi.

...

It was raining heavily.

After leaving the recording site of the variety show "The Voice of China", people left using various means of transportation.

To ensure the best viewing experience during the live broadcast, audience members are not allowed to bring electronic devices into the recording studio of variety shows.

So, they can use their phones now that they're out here.

Throughout the day, the trending topics were dominated by "The Voice of China," and many audience members at the scene clicked to watch.

Many people are participating in the gossip, but a few have raised questions.

Why is the effect of "Yesterday Once More" not as good as the live performance?
