"Impossible!" Su Yan tried hard to suppress the stinging pain in his heart, but his voice trembled slightly. "I won't believe a word you say. Si Ning would never do this to me!"
Yao Xinxu sneered, crossed his arms, and rubbed salt into his wounds without any hesitation: "Oh, if you don't believe it, why react so strongly? I believe you must have seen the silver necklace that Shen Si Ning wears all year round. It's not expensive, right? This necklace was bought by Xu Yan as a gift for her 22nd birthday. If you don't believe it, you can go back and ask her."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan froze. The words on his lips were stuck in his throat, unable to come out. His lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a word.
He had been secretly in love with Shen Si Ning for ten years and had been her secretary for six years. He knew very well how important the necklace was to her.
He still remembered the winter of his first year as Shen Si Ning's secretary. The necklace broke. She had to go to a meeting at the time and didn't have time to put it away, so she left it on the desk. An assistant went to get a document and accidentally caught the necklace in the document and took it away.
When Shen Si Ning found out that the necklace was missing, she got very angry. The assistant was scared to tears and almost lost her mind.
Fortunately, he discovered it in time, quickly comforted the assistant, and asked her to carefully recall the day's itinerary, so he finally found it the next day.
He took the necklace and went to find Shen Si Ning excitedly, but found that she had been crying for a long time on the rooftop.
That was the first time he saw Shen Si Ning so vulnerable and embarrassed.
At the beginning, he did not ask Chen Si Ning about the origin of the necklace, because he found that Chen Si Ning was unwilling to mention a word.
Now that he thought about it, so many flaws told him that he, Su Yan, was just a substitute.
The absurdity of that night was simply because Shen Si Ning mistook him for her first love - Xu Yan.
The "Ayan" she called was not him from the beginning to the end.
Suddenly, he remembered the day they first met. Chen Si Ning also stared at him for a long time with tears in her eyes. That look was the attachment that he only understood today.
Seeing his pained expression, Yao Xinxu let out a fake sigh, her face full of sympathy. "Tsk, I thought I was pathetic for pursuing her for so long without getting any response. I didn't expect you to be even more pitiful. You're just a fake. There's no need for me to envy you. If I had to say something, it's probably because I envy your face that's so similar to Xu Yan's. But... hehe, I don't need it."
After saying that, he laughed maliciously and turned away.
Just a fake?
Su Yan's body trembled slightly, he had difficulty breathing, his heart twitched and was in spasm with pain.
Yao Xinxu's words were like a curse, lingering in his mind for a long time.
Su Yan covered his chest and stumbled into a taxi.
The driver asked him where he was going, but he didn't know, his mind was a mess.
The driver seemed impatient and asked again, and Su Yan gave a random address.
Along the way, he was very quiet, said nothing, and his mind was blank.
Before I knew it, the driver reminded me, "Sir, we've arrived. You can get off now."
Su Yan mechanically paid and got off the car. When he saw the environment clearly, the empty look in his eyes gradually disappeared and his pupils focused.
Shen family's detached villa.
In this huge villa, only Shen Sining lives there.
Her younger brother Shen Yanxi is away all year round, and the Shen couple often do not return to China and travel around the world.
As her secretary, I would come here many times. Over time, I even knew her home address by heart.
He subconsciously told her her home address.
Su Yan smiled slowly, but the smile did not last for a few seconds. The corners of his mouth slowly drooped and his vision began to blur again.
He actually wanted to go in and ask Chen Si Ning if she regarded him as a substitute for Xu Yan, but the final blow only made him more timid.
After all, he was still afraid, afraid that what Yao Xinxu said was true.
Dare not face the cruel reality.
Su Yan took a deep breath to ease the pain in his chest and turned to leave. Just then, the Shen family's housekeeper saw him and called out from a distance, "Secretary Su, are you here to see the eldest lady?"
Su Yan's body froze for a moment, then he turned around and forced a proper smile, "I... I'm not here to look for Mr. Shen, I went the wrong way."
When the housekeeper heard this, he frowned in confusion. How could he have gone wrong?
Su Yan nodded politely, raised his foot and walked hurriedly, but was stopped by the voice behind him.
"Su Yan?"
Su Yan's nerves suddenly tensed up, his heart beat faster, and he didn't dare to look back.
When the housekeeper saw Shen Si Ning coming out, he stepped aside and said, “Miss, Secretary Su should be here to see you.”
Shen Si Ning nodded thoughtfully and motioned him to open the door, “Su Yan, come in and tell me what you want to say.”
Su Yan froze in place for a while, closed his eyes, mustered up the courage to turn around, and slowly walked over, "Boss Chen."
Shen Si Ning looked at his red eyes and pale face, and frowned slightly, "What's wrong with you? Is Auntie okay? Do you need my help?"
Hearing this, Su Yan's face paled even more. He tightened his hands at his sides. He forced a smile and shook his head. "It's okay, my mother...she's fine. Her condition is very stable."
"Then what's wrong with you?" Shen Si Ning looked puzzled.
Su Yan glanced at the necklace around her neck calmly and lowered his head. "I...I want to ask you a question."
Shen Si Ning felt that he was a little strange, and hesitated for a moment before saying, “You ask.”
"I...I want to know what Mr. Shen did ten years ago..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Si Ning's expression suddenly changed. He covered his mouth, ran to the side, and vomited, feeling very uncomfortable.
Su Yan was suddenly stunned and stood there in a daze.
The housekeeper beside her saw this and quickly handed her a handkerchief, "Miss, are you okay? This has happened several times. How about I ask Doctor Wang to come and check you out? You can't keep going like this. You just vomited after eating."
"No, I'm fine." Shen Si Ning wiped her mouth and rejected his proposal.
