Chapter 325 They understood each other perfectly.
After ending the call, Yin Meng couldn't wait to tell Jiang Shiyuan that the matter had been resolved.
"Lin Zhixin is usually a very careful person, but I don't know what happened. She was so careless today, which allowed Xiaoxue to get her blood sample so easily."
"She's trending on social media, and her public image has collapsed. She's probably in a complete mess right now, so she definitely won't be as careful as before."
Jiang Shiyuan held a pencil, her fingertips nimbly tracing the design drawings. "Mengmeng, contact Secretary Xing now and give him the samples for testing."
Mentioning Xing Zhen, Yin Meng blushed. "Okay, I'll contact her right away!"
Jiang Shiyuan lifted her long eyelashes, glanced at her, and smiled wryly:
"Once this busy period is over, I'll cook for you, and you can help me. We'll treat President Fu and Secretary Xing to a nice meal at my house."
"Really?! Yay!" Yin Meng cheered excitedly, like a little girl going to an amusement park.
Jiang Shiyuan's gaze was gentle; she smiled without saying a word.
She knew that Yin Meng had secretly fallen for him, and based on her observations over this period of time, Xing Zhen also had some romantic feelings for Yin Meng.
The two young people, who were mutually attracted and seemed so well-matched, were a sight to behold. She really wanted to play matchmaker and help them take their relationship to the next level.
But was she just trying to bring Yin Meng and Xing Zhen together?
Actually, she also had some selfish motives.
Yin Meng wanted to see Xing Zhen, and she also wanted to see Fu Chenzhou.
She always ate the dishes he cooked himself, and she would also cook a meal for him with all her heart, to treat him well.
I'll bring Banban along then; she hasn't seen that child in a long time and misses her.
But it was her own son, Tongtong.
After a long period of no contact, things have gradually faded away.
"By the way, Mr. Jiang."
Yin Meng pursed her lips, finally mustering the courage to speak, "Today... is my birthday. My parents have invited you to our house for dinner. I wonder if Mr. Jiang is free?"
She didn't have much hope, after all, President Jiang was very busy, working late every day, and worried about Miss Su, so it was understandable that he would be rejected.
She understands.
“Okay, I’ll go.” Jiang Shiyuan readily agreed.
"You...you really want to come?!" Yin Meng thought she was hallucinating.
Jiang Shiyuan smiled gently, "I know it's your birthday today. I was planning to give you the gift before I got off work tonight, but since you invited me, I'll give it to you at your place tonight."
"Waaah... Mr. Jiang... thank you so much!" Yin Meng covered her mouth, almost crying with gratitude.
"Silly girl, why are you thanking me? I should be thanking you."
Jiang Shiyuan stood up, raised her hand and gently stroked her head, like a gentle older sister, "If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have had such a smooth journey. Thank you for your hard work."
...
After get off work, Jiang Shiyuan and Yin Meng first went to the hospital to visit Su Xier. She was still unconscious, but Fu Chenzhou's men were always by her side, and Shen Min was also almost always by her side in the ward.
Shen Min also said that Ye Yu would come over later after he finished dealing with things at the police station.
Only then did Jiang Shiyuan feel at ease going to Yin Meng's house as a guest.
Yin Meng's parents are both very gentle and polite people. They were very attentive to her and prepared a table full of dishes for her, but they were not overly enthusiastic or flattering because she was their daughter's boss. Their relationship was just right and harmonious.
This atmosphere made Jiang Shiyuan feel at home again, a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time. Her heart warmed and her nose tingled with emotion.
After dinner, we celebrated Yin Meng's simple and warm birthday with her, chatted with her parents, and then it was time to head back.
“Mr. Jiang, it’s very dark outside. The streetlights broke a few days ago and haven’t been fixed yet. Let me see you out.” Yin Meng looked at Jiang Shiyuan, who was putting on his shoes in the entryway, with concern.
"It's okay, my phone flashlight is bright enough. Besides, it's snowing outside, it's very cold and dark, and my car isn't far away, I can walk there in a few steps, no need to bother."
Jiang Shiyuan walked to the door, turned back and waved to Yin Meng with a smile, "Mengmeng, see you tomorrow."
Yin Meng smiled happily, "See you tomorrow, President Jiang!"
The Yin family lives in an old residential area where cars are not allowed inside, so Jiang Shiyuan had to park her car in a public parking lot outside the residential area.
It snowed again tonight. Not only was it cold, but the surroundings were also deserted and quiet.
All Jiang Shiyuan could hear was her own panting and the crunching sound of her feet on the snow.
Just as my car was about to appear in front of me, a cold, trembling male voice suddenly came from behind me:
"Hey, Jiang Shiyuan."
Jiang Shiyuan paused, turned around in surprise, and looked at the man standing a few steps behind her.
She frowned deeply.
She didn't know if she was just focused on walking forward, or if he had suddenly appeared from the shadows. She didn't hear any footsteps behind her at all.
Jiang Shiyuan warily sized up the gaunt-faced middle-aged man in front of her. Despite the freezing weather, he wasn't wearing a cotton coat and only had a gray outfit on him.
Moreover, she immediately recognized that he was wearing the work uniform from the Eternal Technology workshop!
"Are you... a technician at Eternal Technology?" Jiang Shiyuan looked at him in astonishment.
The man remained expressionless, asking in a low, flat voice, "Why did you lay me off?"
Jiang Shiyuan's pupils contracted, vaguely sensing a dangerous aura, and she took a step back.
"Did I lay you off? What's your name?"
"Wang Yao".
Jiang Shiyuan frowned, then suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a name at the very end of the layoff list provided by the workshop.
She only read it once, but she remembered it.
But she learned that this person came from a very difficult family background and suffered from depression. Having also been a sufferer of depression herself, she felt great sympathy for his plight. Fearing he might do something drastic, she removed him from the optimization list during the final confirmation stage.
"You were indeed on the layoff list before, but I crossed your name off in the end..."
"You're lying!"
Wang Yao glared with bloodshot, bruised eyes, and roared viciously, "You kept saying you didn't lay me off... but I still got laid off! You selfish, cold-blooded, black-hearted bitch! You're lying to me even when you're about to die?!"
"You should just die!"
The man suddenly lunged at Jiang Shiyuan!
Jiang Shiyuan quickly turned around and ran towards her car, but the snow on the ground hindered her escape speed.
With a thud, she was tackled to the ground by the man who had lost his mind.
Wang Yao straddled Jiang Shiyuan, his hands, red from the cold, pulled out a dagger he had prepared beforehand from his sleeve, and without saying a word, stabbed it into her chest!
"Help—!" Jiang Shiyuan cried out in despair, her eyes tightly shut!
"Well--!"
Unexpectedly, instead of pain, there was a muffled groan of agony from the man!
"Fu... Fu Chenzhou?!"
When Jiang Shiyuan saw the tall, handsome man standing in front of her, appearing like a god descending from heaven, her almond-shaped eyes instantly filled with tears.
"Just as I expected, you were in danger."
Fu Chenzhou's gaze was deep, and he exhaled puffs of white breath as he bent down to pick up the little woman from the ground. "How are you? Are you hurt?"
Jiang Shiyuan's pupils contracted sharply as she exclaimed, "Watch out behind you!"
Fu Chenzhou turned around abruptly, but it was a second too late—
The man had already plunged the gleaming dagger into his left shoulder, the blade halfway in!
"Fu Chenzhou!" Jiang Shiyuan shouted his name, tears streaming down her face!
At that moment, she wasn't thinking about anything.
I just hope nothing bad happens to him!
"Go to hell! I can't go on living... so none of you should live either!"
Wang Yao went completely mad, gripping the knife handle with both hands and stabbing it viciously into Fu Chenzhou's body.
Jiang Shiyuan could even hear the terrifying sound of the blade tearing through flesh!
"You bastard! I won't allow you to hurt him!"
Her eyes were bloodshot, and she rushed forward desperately, wanting to fight this madman to the death!
"Ah Yuan, don't come any closer!"
Even though Fu Chenzhou had been stabbed, he remained calm and composed. But when he saw Jiang Shiyuan coming to help him, he panicked like never before!
The man suddenly pulled the dagger from his shoulder, the blood-stained white blade flashing like a beast's fangs in the darkness, and thrust it at Jiang Shiyuan once more.
...
"Sister Shi Yuan! Sister Shi Yuan!"
"A-Yuan! Are you awake? A-Yuan?!"
Is that... Yin Meng's voice?
And... senior brother?
Jiang Shiyuan slowly opened her heavy eyelids, her vision blurred for a moment, then gradually cleared.
Seeing that she had woken up, Ye Yu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense for a day and a night, finally settled down, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes:
"Thank God... you're finally awake!"
"Waaah... Sister Shi Yuan! You scared me to death!" Yin Meng couldn't hold back anymore and threw herself on her, wailing loudly.
"Fu... Fu Chenzhou... Is he alright?" Jiang Shiyuan struggled to sit up and immediately asked about Fu Chenzhou's condition.
Ye Yu and Yin Meng exchanged a glance, then silently pursed their lips.
"Has...something happened?"
Jiang Shiyuan's face turned deathly pale instantly. Recalling the sharp blade that had pierced the man's shoulder, her heart ached as if that blade had stabbed into her heart, piercing it from top to bottom and twisting it violently, leaving it a bloody mess.
Ye Yu hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "A-Yuan, calm down and listen to me..."
"I'm asking you, where is Fu Chenzhou? Where is he?!" Jiang Shiyuan's tears fell uncontrollably, covering her thin cheeks.
At this moment, her worry for Fu Chenzhou reached its peak.
Her feelings for Su Xier were equally strong and intense, yet somewhat different.
Yin Meng's eyes were red, and she sniffed, "Sister Shi Yuan, President Fu is staying in the ward next to yours. You'll know if you go and see..."
Ye Yuyi looked melancholy as he squatted down to put shoes on Jiang Shiyuan.
But she couldn't wait that long.
Jiang Shiyuan wiped away her tears, got out of bed, and ran barefoot out of the ward.
She pushed open the door to the ward, and there lay Fu Chenzhou, lying stiffly on the snow-white hospital bed, his handsome face pale as snow, silent and still.
"Fu Chenzhou..."
Jiang Shiyuan walked heavily to the bedside, knelt on the cold floor, and clenched the man's tough, rough hands. "Wake up, don't scare me... don't leave me!"
Please open your eyes and look at me... Why are you so cruel... Why did you have to do this just when I started to like you...?
She sobbed and choked up, unable to continue speaking several times.
She regretted it so much, wondering what she had been so dramatic about.
She had already fallen for Fu Chenzhou, hadn't she?
She was heartbroken over Xie Jinghuai, but what did that have to do with Fu Chenzhou? This man who had repeatedly stood up for her, saved her from danger, and even risked his life for her...
What reason could she possibly have not to love him?
"Fu Chenzhou... wake up, please..."
Jiang Shiyuan gently stroked his well-defined cheeks with trembling hands, then leaned down and tenderly kissed his pale lips.
"Um……"
A low, magnetic breath broke the silence.
Jiang Shiyuan's almond-shaped eyes widened suddenly. The next second, the man's large hand gripped the back of her head, while his other hot palm pressed against her waist.
This deepened the kiss.
"You... um..."
Before she could speak, he captured her lips and tongue, swallowing all her next words.
He lingered there for an unknown amount of time, until Jiang Shiyuan's body was completely limp from his kisses. Only then did he reluctantly pull away from her lips, easily lifting her onto the bed with his uninjured right arm and pulling her into his arms possessively.
"Just now, who did you say you liked? Say it again, let me hear it." Fu Chenzhou rubbed her lower back, his nose touching hers.
"I...I like it..."
Jiang Shiyuan's face turned bright red, and she punched his chest in embarrassment and annoyance, "Weren't you seriously injured and unconscious? You were just faking it all!"
Fu Chenzhou chuckled and pecked her lips:
"Who's cursing me? I was just asleep, but I was woken up by a whining, noisy kitten."
Jiang Shiyuan then realized that Yin Meng and Ye Yu had conspired to set her up!
They're all bad people, except for her, she's a naive idiot!
"You're so mean! You're so mean!" Jiang Shiyuan said angrily, punching him again.
"Hiss..." Fu Chenzhou's brow twitched.
Jiang Shiyuan panicked and instinctively placed her palm on his chest:
Does it hurt a lot?
The man suddenly smiled and grabbed her small hand. "It doesn't hurt."
Just as Jiang Shiyuan was about to scold him, he lowered his head and sealed her lips with a kiss once more, with utmost tenderness.
Outside the glass window, snowflakes fell in abundance, creating a crystal-clear world.
On the window, two figures are tightly embracing, as if they are intertwined.
They stayed together for a long time.
