Chapter 133 How to handle your situation with Yan Yu
It was just dawn, and many people were still asleep. The only sounds outside the window were birdsong; otherwise, it was quiet.
Chen Jin sat on the bed in a daze for a while, still without any clue or able to figure anything out. Instead, he became more and more sleepy, his mind was not clear and was somewhat confused.
He remembered that he was sitting on the bed reading a book yesterday when he suddenly felt sleepy and went to sleep. When he woke up, he found that his body was a little sore, as if he had done something last night.
However, he had no recollection of it.
"That's strange..." Shen Jin muttered softly, looking at his slightly red and swollen hands. "It can't be from swatting mosquitoes haphazardly last night..."
When this thought came to mind, Shen Jin was momentarily stunned, then couldn't help but laugh, realizing that he might have been unconscious for too long and his mind was starting to get muddled.
There are many things that are hard to sort out, and I don't know how to sort them out. For example, the ten years he lived as Rong Jin, and the more than ten years he lived as Shen Jin in the distant City A. His memories are clear and there is no falsehood.
It felt like a dream to him, beautiful yet unreal... Overnight, he went from a lowly, poor young man to the young master of a wealthy family.
"The more I think about it, the more unreal it seems..." Shen Jin stared out the window in a daze, and couldn't help but whisper, "I've lived a life of hardship for more than ten years... and suddenly I feel a little out of place."
Before, when he was in City A, he worked odd jobs to make a living, living a life of getting up early and returning home late, but it was a fulfilling life. But now that his identity has been restored, he doesn't know what he should do in the future.
“Oh…right…Lianlian…” Shen Jin’s head throbbed with pain as he thought of the younger sister who had once been his only family. Only now did he belatedly realize that the two of them were not related by blood. So…who was she?
Where are we now?
Shen Jin felt a sudden chill and a dull ache in his heart. He vaguely remembered how he had run away without a care in the world to avoid Xie Li and Yan Yu. At that time, he was already out of his mind and couldn't think straight.
But Bai Yujin had said he would help take care of her...
But so much time has passed now, and Bai Yujin has nothing to do with her anymore. She shouldn't have troubled him like this, and she just left without a care... That's so irresponsible of her...
She lived there alone, without any relatives or friends, and was also unwell. I don't know how she is now.
"She..." The more Chen Jin thought about it, the more frightened he became, always afraid that something might have happened to her. He immediately threw off the covers, got out of bed, and started looking for his phone number, wanting to contact her immediately.
When Shen Jin pushed open the ward door, there were one or two people guarding it not far away. Hearing the door open, they immediately walked over to him and respectfully greeted, "Young Master..."
Chen Jin: "Uh..."
For a moment he didn't realize who they were calling, and he almost turned around to see if there was anyone else behind him, but thankfully he managed to suppress the thought.
Compared to his lofty status, the more than ten years he spent wallowing in the mud seemed to be more unforgettable. Even though he regained his childhood memories, it was still too long ago, and he maintained the same mindset as when he was "sunken".
Therefore, it was inevitably a bit awkward.
One of the men, dressed in a suit, asked gently, "Is there anything we can help you with?"
"...Yes, something's wrong!" Shen Jin nodded quickly, not refusing their help, since he didn't know how to contact Bai Yujin in a short time. "Could you...help me contact someone?"
He used to have other people's numbers on his phone, but later he lost them all. He didn't know where to start contacting Bai Yujin, but he felt that the Rong family would definitely not have any difficulty in handling these matters.
The two bodyguards seemed a little uncomfortable with his attitude and quickly bowed their heads, saying, "Young Master, please speak."
"Well..." Shen Jin hesitated for a moment, his lips twitching slightly. He didn't know why, but seeing the two tall bodyguards' respectful attitude towards him made him a little nervous. He forced a smile, "You... don't need to be like this, just be normal..."
"Okay, fine." The bodyguard nodded in agreement, raised his eyes, and said earnestly and respectfully, "Young Master, please give your orders."
Shen Jin: "..."
Just then, a woman's steady voice came from the front of the corridor: "Jin'er, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing the voice, Shen Jin immediately recognized it as his mother's. He looked at her and smiled slightly. Even though more than ten years had passed and many things had become unfamiliar, his mother remained familiar, as if she had never changed.
The two bodyguards nodded to Madam Rong: "Good morning, Madam."
"Good morning." Madam Rong smiled, in a very good mood, her face beaming. She was carrying a bag in her hand when she came to Chen Jin's side and said gently, "Did you sleep well? Why are you up so early? Your body hasn't fully recovered yet."
"Mom, I'm fine, I..." Shen Jin took a breath, gently held her hand, looked into her eyes, and said anxiously, "I want to contact someone, I'm in a real hurry..."
"Hmm?" Madam Rong was taken aback, then immediately patted his hand. "Okay, go ahead. Let's go back to our room first."
The two returned to the ward. Madam Rong insisted that Shen Jin sit back on the bed and rest properly, and listen to what he had to say. She was slightly taken aback, as she also knew Bai Yujin.
When Shen Jin was hospitalized, Bai Yujin visited him several times. He was aware of Shen Jin's new identity and didn't say much. Each time, he would catch up with Rong Lan and the others before leaving.
When Shen Jin woke up, Rong Lan briefly informed him. As a member of the Rong family, they knew that Rong Lan was Shen Jin's friend who had helped him a lot when they were in City A.
“He visited you a while ago, before you woke up. He chatted with us for a bit and then left,” Madam Rong said. “Do you need to see him now?”
"Yes!" Shen Jin said firmly, "Something has come up!"
"Oh, okay, okay, don't worry, I'll contact him for you right away." Madam Rong nodded repeatedly, afraid that he would get too emotional, and at this moment she went along with everything he said.
Before long, Madam Rong found Bai Yujin's number, dialed it quickly, and then handed the phone to Shen Jin.
"I called him for you. You can tell him what's going on later." Madam Rong was initially worried that there might be some topics that were inappropriate for her to hear, but then she thought that the two of them were friends, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Furthermore, she was reluctant to leave her son, who had been living away from home for over a decade, and wanted to know as much as possible about him. However, Shen Jin was no longer a child; he was an adult and had his own privacy. Therefore, she decided not to disturb him for the time being.
Bai Yujin, who was in City A, was taken aback when he received a call from Madam Rong. He then answered the phone and smiled slightly, saying, "Good morning, Madam Rong."
Upon hearing Bai Yujin's voice, Shen Jin was taken aback. Perhaps because he hadn't heard it in so long, it felt somewhat unfamiliar. He coughed lightly and smiled, "Good morning... It's me."
Bai Yujin was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he exclaimed in surprise, "Shen Jin?"
“…Yes, that’s right, it’s me,” Shen Jin laughed, feeling as if it had been a long time since they had seen or spoken, and suddenly felt a surge of emotions. “Long time no see.”
After confirming it was really him, Bai Yujin gasped slightly, then calmed down and asked, "I heard from Rong Lan that you just woke up and haven't fully recovered yet, so you need to rest. How come you have time to call me? Are you alright? How's your recovery going?"
"That's great. I feel much better now. I can be discharged after resting for a while. Maybe it's because I've been lying in bed for so long that my body is not used to it," Shen Jin said with a smile. "I feel a bit tired and uncomfortable. I should definitely rest more."
"Then... besides these?" Bai Yujin paused, remembering that Rong Lan had mentioned that the doctor said there might be aftereffects, so he continued, "Any other conditions... discomforts?"
"Hmm?" Shen Jin thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled. "No, it's recovered quite well."
"That's good." Bai Yujin breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing him say that, but then felt that something was off, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Oh, right, about his relationship with Yan Yu...
Bai Yujin frowned. The events surrounding Shen Jin and Yan Yu were far too complicated. He didn't understand how the two of them were doing now. Since Shen Jin had regained his memories and remembered what Yan Yu had done to him in the past, and he had also regained his identity...
So how will he view Yan Yu? And what will be the fate of the two of them?
In the brief moment that Bai Yujin was lost in thought, Shen Jin realized his purpose and immediately became tense, hurriedly asking, "Right, right, Lian... Shen Lian, how is she?"
"Hmm?" Bai Yujin came back to his senses and smiled. "She's fine. She's recovered well after the surgery. She misses you a lot, and there's something about you... I haven't told her yet."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jin breathed a sigh of relief, but his feelings became complicated again. He had originally thought that he and Shen Lian were siblings who depended on each other for survival, but now that he found out that they were not related by blood, what would she think?
“Oh, right, there’s one more thing,” Bai Yujin pursed his lips, unable to contain his curiosity. After a moment of silence, he asked, “I want to ask… how do you plan to handle the matter between you and Yan Yu?”
