Chapter 73 "You have a rash."
Ling Wan walked away quickly. Jiang Shiyuan stared at her back. Ling Wan had changed a lot.
Chen Cheng didn't know what to say and continued to report the situation to Jiang Shiyuan.
The report work was almost completed, and Chen Cheng mentioned it.
"In a few days, there will be a banquet organized by Mrs. Chen... Is the boss going?" She felt that her boss would not go.
Jiang Shiyuan raised her eyes, her tone seemed the same as usual, but it seemed as if there was more ice mixed in her words, making them indescribably cold.
"Go..why not."
She curled her lips into a cold smile, so cold that Chen Cheng, who was standing in front of her, suspected that he was wearing too little today.
"You go and do your thing, I'm going to do mine too."
Usually Jiang Shiyuan would take Chen Cheng with him when he was busy with work, so Chen Cheng asked casually.
"Boss, you need me..."
Jiang Shiyuan interrupted her, "No need."
She murmured in her heart, not knowing whether the puppy missed her or not, but she missed her a little bit anyway.
Going back to pet the puppy!!
………..
Without exception, the tea room is a good place to rest and recharge, and Chen Cheng always comes here after finishing his report.
But this time she found Ling Wan standing. She approached step by step, and the gossip became clearer and clearer. Chen Cheng's face sank, and she looked at Ling Wan worriedly.
Ling Wan didn't notice that there was someone beside her. Her body no longer belonged to her and she just kept shaking. She wanted to leave but she couldn't. Those words undoubtedly opened up her painful wounds.
"Those injuries on Ling Wan were caused by her boyfriend. Look at them. What's the point of being so powerful? You can't have the right eyes for men."
"How do you know it was your boyfriend who hit you?"
"Ling Wan and I are close, she told me. What's even more amazing is that she's engaged to her boyfriend. One day, she saw the chat history between her boyfriend and his best friend and found out that her boyfriend went to a massage parlor... He said the woman there was hot and good at sex."
“Oh my god…this…”
"With Ling Wan's personality, there's no way she could continue. But that man isn't willing to let go of his cash cow. He went into Ling Wan's house under the pretext of a date, beat her, and threatened her... Even though we called the police, that man... Tsk, it seems like he won't give up."
Ling Wan's mood reached its lowest point. She could no longer figure out whether this world was real or fake. She turned around and wanted to leave this place that made her sad.
Her back was like a dry leaf, bearing too much, becoming withered and lifeless.
Chen Cheng knew Ling Wan's personality, so she couldn't yell at those gossipers. Ling Wan felt very uncomfortable.
She followed Ling Wan silently, not even realizing she was in the restroom.
"Have you...had enough?"
Chen Cheng was startled, but Ling Wan's voice made her feel distressed.
"Sister Ling...you."
"I'm fine. Didn't you hear what I just said? And you followed me here to ask if it was true?"
Ling Wan approached Chen Cheng, her eyes wide and bloodshot. "Really?"
Jealousy can destroy everything. She wondered if someone would be willing to stay with her if she hadn't been so strong at the beginning.
Chen Cheng's eyes were filled with panic. He shook his head frantically and explained, "No! I...I'm just worried about Sister Ling."
Hearing Chen Cheng's words, she laughed, her cheeks gradually became wet. Ling Wan let the tears flow, and she said weakly.
"Okay, let's work hard during working hours."
Her words floated lightly into Chen Cheng's ears and disappeared very quickly. Even she disappeared.
Only Chen Cheng was left there feeling melancholy...
————————
The quiet ward made Pei Xiangwan feel particularly comfortable, but she couldn't help but feel a little worried about the competition.
Suddenly, the door banged open, and Pei Xiangwan thought it had exploded, but it turned out to be Qiao Yanxin...
"Woo woo woo! Xiang Wan, my dear Xiang Wan! Come here and let me see what's wrong with you!"
She pounced on Pei Xiangwan like a bat. Since Pei Xiangwan was lying on the hospital bed, she could not avoid her and could only be held by Qiao Yanxin.
Qiao Yanxin howled like a ghost, "You're finally awake! Ma Wanqing and I were almost scared to death. You don't know how scary you looked when you were lying in bed. Your face was as white as the wall behind you!"
Pei Xiangwan always felt that Qiao Yanxin was a loud speaker with a voice that was too loud, especially since he hadn't heard her speak for a few days. Pei Xiangwan couldn't get used to it for a while.
She pushed Qiao Yanxin away and said, "Tsk! Get out of the way! This is a hospital, don't scream or cry! I really thought you were crying just by the sound, but you weren't crying at all."
Qiao Yanxin had no tears in her eyes, but she raised her hand to pretend to wipe them away. "It's not because you're unconscious, I've been crying so much that my tears have dried up."
Pei Xiangwan rolled her eyes and said, "Queen Qiao is still the best!"
"It's just so-so! Just sprinkle some water!"
In comparison, Ma Wanqing seemed very quiet.
Ma Wanqing's eyes seemed brighter than usual, and she said with a faint smile.
"It's great that you woke up."
Pei Xiangwan hummed and said to the two of them, "Thank you."
"Don't say that! Xiang Wan, we've been through life and death together for so many years."
Pei Xiangwan was speechless, Qiao Yanxin was simply not serious at all.
Qiao Yanxin inadvertently glanced at the red spot on Pei Xiangwan's neck and asked, "Is this hospital unclean? You have a rash."
She paused, then said thoughtfully, "Or... this one is."
Pei Xiangwan hurriedly raised her hand, her expression nervous. "It's just a rash."
Qiao Yanxin didn't think it was the same and wanted to take a closer look.
"Let me take a look, I don't think it looks very similar."
Just as Jiang Shiyuan came in, he saw Qiao Yanxin's hand about to touch Pei Xiangwan's neck.
"What is Wanwan doing?"
Jiang Shiyuan's voice quickly caused the three of them to turn their heads at the same time.
There were twinkling lights in Pei Xiangwan's dog eyes, which kept shining into Jiang Shiyuan's eyes.
"Jiang Jiang, you're done."
"Yeah, I'm done with my work. I went to look for Wanwan as soon as I was done, but...it seems like I came at the wrong time."
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, outlining a perfect arc, but it looked like a smile casually drawn on paper and did not suit her.
"How could that be!"
Pei Xiangwan was about to jump out of bed when Jiang Shiyuan spoke.
"Put on your shoes."
Pei Xiangwan put on her shoes obediently and ran towards Jiang Shiyuan like a puppy, her hair bouncing along with her.
"Jiang Jiang, you're done so quickly! I thought you'd be busy until at least the evening. Don't worry, Jiang Jiang, I can handle it by myself. You'll be very tired."
Jiang Shiyuan helped Pei Xiangwan tidy up her messy hair and spoke softly.
"It's okay. I want to stay with Wanwan for a while longer."
Qiao Yanxin felt that it was not appropriate for her and Ma Wanqing to stay here. She laughed awkwardly and said, "Oh! I suddenly remembered that Ma Wanqing and I still have things to do. Then we'll leave first, Xiangwan."
"Not later?"
When Qiao Yanxin heard this, she shook her head vigorously and said, "No, no, things are very tight. Have a good rest, Xiangwan. I'll come to see you in a few days." She pulled Ma Wanqing out.
Wait? Not even a little bit. Qiao Yanxin always felt that every time Jiang Shiyuan looked at her, it was as if he was saying that she had robbed her of her private property. This damn possessiveness was so strong even though they weren't even together.
Then being together is even better... Pei Xiangwan can only wish him good luck.
