"Well, it did offer some inspiration."
Shen Lanxin murmured softly, as if she were talking to herself.
Although the village chief's words did not provide any real or effective help, they somehow successfully ignited the hidden motivation within her.
She slowly turned around, her gaze passing over everyone, and looked towards Mu Liuyun, who was chatting and laughing with Lin Fangyi in the inner room.
Just that one glance made her feel as if a raging fire suddenly rose up in her chest and flowed freely along her meridians until it reached her lower abdomen before stopping.
Immediately afterwards, she took out her phone without hesitation, quickly found Shen Leehom's number, and dialed it.
The call was quickly connected, and sure enough, Zhang Chunfang's angry and slightly reproachful voice came from the other end: "Shen Lanxin! How come you still remember to call home? Do you even care about our family anymore?!"
Zhang Chunfang seemed to give Shen Lanxin no chance to speak, and then a series of rebukes burst out: "Xiao Nan has been in there for so many days, and you've been completely indifferent to him! You cold-hearted bastard! Now look what's happened, do you know how many connections I used to get Xiao Nan out? Now that things have come to this, you come back right now, obediently marry Xiao Nan, and maybe your father and I can forgive what you did before!"
Hearing Zhang Chunfang's words, Shen Lanxin just sneered: "Zhang Chunfang, I, Shen Lanxin, will take everything from Lantian Group, leaving nothing behind. As for the Shen family and Shen Lihong, I don't want them either!"
"What are you saying! Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid of regretting this?"
Shen Lanxin smiled faintly, rose from the ground, and with a gentle wave of her sleeve, it seemed as if she were the only person left in the world.
"The cold wind blows in the Arctic village, the roe deer cry in autumn and winter as the young girl returns. Everyone except Xiaoyun can be abandoned. My family regrets, but I do not!"
"Huh? What is that?"
"Gana!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Lanxin pressed the hang-up button without hesitation and gently held the phone in her hand, playing with it.
She looked up, and her gaze met that of the village chief, who had been silently watching her.
Although the village chief didn't know what she meant, he felt that what she said was very much to his liking, so he gave Shen Lanxin a thumbs up to show his appreciation and affirmation.
Shen Lanxin simply smiled faintly.
...
...
In the hospital filled with the smell of disinfectant, on the pristine white hospital bed where Mu Liuyun had once lain, Liu Leyao slowly opened her beautiful eyes.
Her long eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings, accidentally brushing against her strands of hair, causing her to involuntarily furrow her brows slightly.
She looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings with a sense of bewilderment, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
"Where did you give this to me?"
Perhaps due to the exhaustion from her tireless search for Mu Liuyun these past few days, Liu Leyao slept unusually deeply, sleeping for most of the day before finally waking up around noon the next day.
"We're still in China."
Before Liu Leyao could finish speaking, a familiar and warm voice suddenly came to her ear.
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wang Shirong sitting on the edge of the bed, intently peeling a bright red apple with a knife.
Seeing Wang Shirong, Liu Leyao felt a warmth in her heart and said softly, "Thank you."
After thanking him, she eagerly reached out to take the apple that Wang Shirong had already peeled from his hand.
After such a long sleep, she was not only incredibly thirsty, but her stomach was also growling loudly.
Wang Shirong completely ignored Liu Leyao's outstretched hand. He picked up the apple as if no one else was there and took big bites, muttering indistinctly, "Alright, now that you're awake, let's get out of here! We have another performance to rush to. Xue'er suggested it to me; she said she wanted to perform on stage with us."
After saying that, he continued to eat the apple in his hand without looking at Liu Leyao again.
Seeing Wang Shirong's indifferent attitude, Liu Leyao couldn't help but feel embarrassed and disappointed.
She could only awkwardly withdraw her outstretched hand, but she muttered to herself: Why does it feel like Wang Shirong is becoming less and less patient with me?
In fact, Wang Shirong initially chose to join the band with ulterior motives.
However, his elaborate scheme was not aimed at Liu Leyao, but at Lin Xuelan.
Although they initially treated each other as friends, Wang Shirong had been quite devoted to Liu Leyao. However, after witnessing Liu Leyao's behavior towards Mu Liuyun, Wang Shirong had to admit that this person's way of thinking seemed somewhat abnormal.
Thinking of this, Wang Shirong shook his head helplessly and secretly made up his mind that from now on he would treat Liu Leyao as an ordinary band member.
After all, how many bands in the world can truly stay together for a lifetime?
"I'm not leaving! I haven't even seen Mu Liuyun yet!"
Liu Leyao refused without hesitation. She had come to Mohe with a clear goal: to see Mu Liuyun. If she returned empty-handed, wouldn't all her efforts have been wasted?
Thinking of this, Liu Leyao couldn't help but pout slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction showing on her face.
However, when Mu Liuyun was mentioned, the scene from yesterday instantly flashed into Liu Leyao's mind.
That figure, that face, though separated by a door and by inexplicable sounds, still seemed as clear as if it were right in front of her.
So, she subconsciously muttered to herself, "I wonder where Mu Liuyun is now? Didn't he stay to check on me?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Shirong, who was standing to the side, was taken aback at first, then the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, and he said in a somewhat mocking tone, "Hey, Mu Liuyun came to see you? What does he want from you?"
Do you like your bad temper, or do you like the sound of your slap?
"Of course they're after me!"
As Liu Leyao spoke, she wore an air of self-righteousness on her face.
Upon hearing this, Wang Shirong's smile grew even brighter: "Did you know? The person who was in the ward with Mu Liuyun yesterday was none other than Chu Yaqin, the eldest daughter of the Chu family!"
Recalling the scene he witnessed when he arrived at the hospital yesterday, Wang Shirong couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
At that time, he came to the hospital to see Liu Leyao and happened to see Mu Liuyun and Chu Yaqin's backs as they were about to leave.
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, from the two people's tightly clasped hands and the relevant explanations given by the hospital, he could easily guess what the two of them had been doing in the hospital.
It's outrageous! The world is going to the dogs!
That's truly enviable.
After saying that, he turned his gaze to the person lying on the hospital bed and then smiled and said, "Also, the hospital bed you are lying on now is the one they used back then."
Of course, although the sheets had been changed, Wang Shirong didn't say so.
"Ah? Chu Yaqin?"
