When the woman heard his voice, her body trembled involuntarily, and the hand that was patting Shen Jiayu gradually lost its strength.
It was as if they had given up the struggle.
Shen Jiayu was driven mad by this scene. He released his grip on her neck and pulled her into his arms, coldly staring at the man walking in their direction.
“Say what you just said again.”
The man paused for a second when he saw the face, feeling that it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
But the pain from being kicked in the groin made him lose face, and all he wanted to do now was punish that damned woman.
So he said, "Brother, I set my sights on her first. Even if you like her, you'll have to wait until I'm done with her before it's your turn..."
Before he could finish speaking, another man who came out of the restroom behind him turned deathly pale when he saw Shen Jiayu's face.
She quickly came up and pulled the man away, signaling him to stop talking.
The man angrily shoved him away, and was about to speak when he heard his friend say, "President Shen, I'm so sorry, my younger brother is ignorant and offended you. Please forgive him and not hold it against him!"
Upon hearing the word "sink," the man sobered up considerably and looked up at Shen Jiayu in disbelief.
After superimposing his face with the face that frequently appeared in financial news, his legs went weak and he collapsed to his knees.
At that moment, the woman in his arms suddenly fainted as if she had been stimulated by something.
Shen Jiayu quickly pulled her into his arms, and looking at the face that had appeared in his dreams countless times, his hands trembled uncontrollably.
When he looked at the man on the ground, his voice was already filled with murderous intent: "If you don't want to die, get out of here right now!"
The man shuddered and scrambled to his feet.
But as soon as he turned around, he heard Shen Jiayu continue from behind him: "Don't ever appear in front of me again, or I'll make you regret ever being born."
The man was on the verge of tears. If he knew that the woman's sugar daddy was Shen Jiayu, he wouldn't have been so drunk that he wanted to drag her into the bathroom and have sex with her when she accidentally spilled wine on him.
Only after watching the two men stagger away did Shen Jiayu dare to look at the face of the woman in his arms.
With a clear handprint on her face and her disheveled appearance, it's not hard to imagine what she had just gone through.
If she hadn't shown up here, she definitely wouldn't have been able to avoid being with those two men tonight...
Thinking of this, Shen Jiayu couldn't help but tremble with anger.
He never imagined that he would have the chance to see Lanlan again after her death.
Shen Jiayu looked at the woman who looked exactly like Gu Lan and gently touched her face with trembling fingers.
The warm, real touch told him that this was not a dream. Had Lanlan really returned to his side?
Shen Jiayu suddenly came to his senses, and the temperature in his eyes gradually dropped.
After Lanlan jumped off the building, she pieced her body back together bit by bit, so she couldn't possibly be Lanlan.
But why does she look exactly like Lanlan?
Unable to figure it out, Shen Jiayu simply took off his suit jacket and covered the woman in his arms with it.
Then one of his men used force to pick the woman up and carry her towards the elevator.
Chen Qi, who had just come out of the private room, was completely dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
If he remembered correctly, Shen Jiayu was mocking him just a few minutes ago, so how come he's hugging a woman now?
He strode after him and squeezed into the elevator before the doors closed.
Shen Jiayu merely glanced at him indifferently and gestured for him to press the elevator button.
Chen Qi reluctantly pressed the button for the first floor. Just as he was thinking of saying something to ease his frustration, he saw the profile of the woman Shen Jiayu was holding in his arms.
Why does it look so familiar?
Before he could react, the woman in his arms moved her head.
As the hair fell down her cheeks, that familiar face was revealed.
Chen Qi couldn't help but cry out in fright. He rubbed his eyes and looked over again.
He wasn't mistaken; that woman really did look exactly like the deceased Gu Lan!
As the elevator doors opened with a "ding," Shen Jiayu carried the woman and strode out.
Seeing this, Chen Qi quickly followed. When he saw that Shen Jiayu had put the woman in the passenger seat, he reached out and stopped Shen Jiayu from opening the car door.
"Ah Yu, you're not thinking of taking her home, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayu looked over coldly, signaling him not to meddle in other people's business.
"Ah Yu, don't you think this is too much of a coincidence? How could there be two women who look exactly alike? Be careful..."
Before Chen Qi could finish speaking, Shen Jiayu shoved his arm away.
"I know who she is, and I will find out for myself."
After saying this, Shen Jiayu closed the car door, leaving Chen Qi standing there with a complicated expression, and drove away.
Chen Qi frowned as he recalled Shen Jiayu's state after Gu Lan jumped off the building.
He felt something was off about the woman who looked exactly like Gu Lan who appeared at this critical juncture.
However, A-Yu has always been stubborn and prone to getting stuck on things. Unless he figures things out himself, he won't listen to anything anyone else says.
Shen Jiayu drove straight home, parked the car in the garage, and after a while, he calmed down and turned to look at the woman next to him.
He was afraid it was just another dream, and he didn't even dare to open his eyes.
Only after seeing the woman still unconscious, leaning against the passenger seat with her eyes closed, did his brow gradually relax.
Thankfully, she's still alive.
Looking at her face, Shen Jiayu's thoughts drifted away, and the last phone call Lanlan made to him involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
If he had known that Lanlan had called him from the top floor of the hospital that day, he would have canceled the meeting and rushed back no matter what.
When he came out after the meeting and heard the news that she had jumped off the building, he felt half of his body go cold.
"Lanlan, is that you...?"
Shen Jiayu couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the woman's face.
Unexpectedly, the moment his face was touched, the woman reacted like a frightened bird, waving her hands and crying, "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
"I'm not a prostitute! Let me go! Don't come any closer!"
This left such a deep psychological scar that even in dreams, one is still afraid.
Shen Jiayu couldn't help but want to reach out and comfort her, but he sobered up just before he touched her.
The woman in front of him was not Lanlan.
Uncle Wu opened the door and saw Shen Jiayu holding a woman in his arms. A maternal smile immediately appeared on his face.
