Chapter 170 Disappearance
Suddenly, images flashed into Pei Xiangwan's mind. There were too many images of Jiang Shiyuan crying, like a child crying while hugging an ugly wooden sculpture. She felt like she was suffocating.
"No...no, she loves me very much." But why would I forget her?
The one who hurt Jiang Shiyuan the most was not anyone else, but Pei Xiangwan. Her heart continued to ache, she fell unconscious to the ground, and the intermittent images in her mind paused.
…
After Jiang Shiyuan added information, Li Jiayi and Li Weihong were both taken away by the police.
The crisis of the Jiang family was also resolved. She finally protected what her grandmother had wanted to protect all her life. However, she couldn't be happy about something that was worth being happy about. She felt panic in her heart as if she had lost something more important.
Jiang Shiyuan looked around, trying to find Pei Xiangwan, but couldn't find her. "Where did she go to eat the cake?" she whispered.
It was difficult to walk in her white strapless dress, so she held up her skirt as she made her way through the crowd. Pei Xiangwan wasn't anywhere near the dessert counter, so she pulled out her phone and called, but...
"The number you dialed is invalid... Please..." Jiang Shiyuan's brain froze, and the bad premonition became stronger and stronger. She always felt that she was going to lose Pei Xiangwan again.
She dialed again and again, but the result was the same: "I couldn't possibly have remembered Pei Xiangwan's number wrong."
Her voice was trembling, sometimes clear and sometimes weak, as if it was covered by an empty bottle. She held the phone tightly, and with the other hand she held up the hem of her skirt as she walked faster and faster. She no longer cared whether she would fall or not.
She just wanted to find Pei Xiangwan to prove that her panic was nothing to worry about, so that she would feel at ease.
But to Jiang Shiyuan's disappointment, she searched every corner but couldn't find Pei Xiangwan. It was as if she had completely disappeared this time. She held back her tears, and if they fell, she would wipe them away herself. She didn't want to wipe them away herself.
Returning to the dessert area, Jiang Shiyuan met Qiao Yanxin and walked up to her quickly and asked as if he had met his savior.
"Do you know where Pei Xiangwan went? You're so close, so you must know where she is, right? Tell her not to hide from me. I can change any of my shortcomings. Don't stay so far away from me."
Qiao Yanxin's eyes flashed with surprise. Jiang Shiyuan's long string of words made her confused. "What are you talking about, Jiang Shiyuan? If you don't talk, you'll be frozen to death. But when you talk, you'll be shocked to death. I know I have a wide range of people."
She smiled frivolously and said, "But we don't know each other at all, so there's no need for me to tell you. But I'm in a good mood today, so I'll make an exception and tell you that I don't know Pei Xiangwan."
This answer was like a bolt from the blue. Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were empty, as if they had lost all their brilliance. "How could I not know him? It's impossible not to know him."
She turned around and set out again to look for Pei Xiangwan. Whenever someone passed by her, she would stop them and repeat the same question over and over again like a robot.
"Do you know where Pei Xiangwan is?"
"You know her, you must know her."
Someone felt sorry for her and wanted to help her find it, so he asked, "How can we know if you just tell us? Do you have any photos?"
This woke Jiang Shiyuan up. She looked for Pei Xiangwan's photos. She always liked to record Pei Xiangwan when they were together, so she made a separate album just for Pei Xiangwan.
But the photo album is gone, and even the previous group photos have become individual photos.
She didn't believe it and kept searching until the person in front of her mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally.
"There's only one famous family with the surname Pei. Lin Muyao's designs are very popular, but they've never had children."
The lightweight cell phone felt as heavy as steel in Jiang Shiyuan's palm. Soon she couldn't hold the phone anymore and it dropped. She grabbed the man's shoulders with both hands, and her already big eyes widened even more, looking a little scary.
"What are you talking about? What nonsense are you talking about? Lin Muyao's daughter is Pei Xiangwan."
"She definitely exists." She stayed away from the crowd, away from those who had forgotten Pei Xiangwan. Everything would be fine when she returned home. Maybe Pei Xiangwan was waiting for her at home, and all this was a prank.
It was a fine day, but suddenly it started to rain heavily without any warning. The rain was also a prank. Jiang Shiyuan, who was always afraid of being abandoned, was still thinking about how to make Pei Xiangwan feel distressed so that she would not leave.
She looked at the rain hidden in the darkness, and listening to the sound of the rain, she knew it was raining heavily. If she went out, she would get soaked all over. However, Jiang Shiyuan seemed not afraid at all and walked towards the rain.
Her hair stuck to her cheeks and her skirt, soaked by the rain, was extremely heavy, making it difficult for Jiang Shiyuan to walk, especially since she was wearing high heels. She almost sprained her ankle several times.
Her steps were getting slower and slower. The rain was not kind to her and kept hitting her weak shoulders. Jiang Shiyuan was too thin and could not withstand the beating of the rain.
Before she collapsed, Jiang Shiyuan was still thinking that the person holding the umbrella for her had broken his promise again. She kept muttering, "Go home with Pei Xiangwan..." Because she was weak, her voice was so small that it seemed like she was talking to herself.
…
The smell of disinfectant was very strong, and Jiang Shiyuan hated the smell of disinfectant the most. She slowly opened her eyes, her vision blurred and it took her a while to see clearly that she was in the hospital.
There was a person lying beside her bed. She hoped it was Pei Xiangwan, but unfortunately it was not. It was Yu Wei.
It was bright outside the window, and the birds were singing happily because of the warm sunshine. However, Jiang Shiyuan stared out the window, but his whole body was extremely cold.
Yu Wei slept as lightly as Jiang Shiyuan. She woke up when she heard the birds singing. When she got up, she saw her daughter looking outside worriedly, her eyes full of longing.
Yu Wei went to take a look and saw only the trees swaying. She really didn't understand what Jiang Shiyuan longed for. Perhaps he was just in a daze.
"Is Shiyuan feeling better now? Why did you get caught in the rain for no reason? I was so scared when I received the call."
Jiang Shiyuan seemed to have lost her soul and didn't hear what the other person said. She looked at Yu Weiwen with empty eyes.
"Where is Pei Xiangwan? Where did Pei Xiangwan go? Why didn't she come to see me?"
"You look like this because of someone." Yu Wei's face was terribly gloomy. "I don't know what's so good about the person you're talking about, but with your looks and family background, there's no need to look like this just for love."
Jiang Shiyuan laughed contemptuously when she heard this, "You forgot too, you forgot everything." She lifted the quilt, picked up the mobile phone beside the pillow, put on the slippers placed beside the bed, and wanted to go out.
Yu Wei held her back and said helplessly, "Your fever has just subsided, so don't run around."
But Jiang Shiyuan shook off Yu Wei's hand and said coldly, "I want to find Pei Xiangwan! I will find her even if I die. I will not allow her to leave me, absolutely!"
She walked out of the ward wearing a loose hospital gown. Jiang Shiyuan was too thin and the clothes looked like oversized clothes on her. As she walked, she called Chen Cheng and asked him to come and pick her up. She wanted to go home and see him.
Considering everyone's reaction, she should have given up, but she refused. Pei Xiangwan was not a dream, but her warm sunshine.
Chen Cheng arrived quickly. When he stopped the car, he saw Jiang Shiyuan in a hospital gown and asked with concern, "Boss, are you okay?"
"Yes." Jiang Shiyuan got into the car and said, "Take me home."
