Chapter 574 Is it true?
The dust that was raised slowly fell back to the ground.
The world is dead silent.
Ji Wan stood there, the wind blowing, bringing a cool breeze and causing goose bumps to appear on her exposed skin.
She slowly turned around and her eyes fell on Feng Lou.
He still maintained that stiff posture, with his head lowered. His entire body was shrouded in a thick shadow, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
But the humiliation and oppression emanating from him were so strong that they could not be dispelled.
Ji Wan's throat was dry, she moved her lips, and her voice was a little hoarse.
"Is what he said true?"
Feng Lou's shoulders trembled almost imperceptibly.
He didn't look up or answer.
Silence is the cruelest answer.
Ji Wan's heart sank a little more.
She looked at him, her tone filled with fatigue that she herself didn't even notice.
"So, you are really Chi Wenyan's brother?"
Feng Lou finally responded.
He raised his head, and his eyes, which always wore a gentle smile, were now empty, filled with bottomless pain.
He pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Mr. Ji, I'm sorry."
His voice was soft and hoarse.
"I'm sorry to bother you."
"That's not what I'm asking!" Ji Wan's anger was ignited once again, not towards Feng Lou, but towards this whole fucked up thing.
She took a step forward and looked him in the eyes.
"Feng Lou, listen carefully! I just had a huge argument with Chi Wenyan just to keep you as my 'partner'!"
"He left with the harsh words 'it's either him or me'!"
"Now, all you say to me is 'sorry for the trouble'?"
Ji Wan's chest heaved violently. She needed an explanation, an explanation that would make her feel that her persistence just now was not a joke.
"What on earth are those things he said?"
"What is the connection between you and him?"
She pressed the issue, each word ringing loud and clear.
Feng Lou's face grew paler. He avoided Ji Wan's gaze and pressed his lips into a stiff line.
a long time.
He then said in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible: "These are my private matters."
Ji Wan was stunned.
Private matter?
She laughed angrily, and her laughter was full of absurdity and disappointment.
"Your personal business?"
"Because of your personal affairs, my husband is breaking up with me, and my studio may lose its most important investor. And here I am, standing here like a fool defending you!"
"Now you tell me, this is your private matter?"
Feng Lou trembled all over at her words. He clenched his hands at his sides into fists, his nails digging into his flesh, but he felt no pain.
He looked at the ground, his voice filled with a stubborn refusal to communicate.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji."
"I'm going back first."
After saying that, he didn't give Ji Wan any chance to ask any more questions and turned and left.
His back was straight and every step he took was steady, but he looked like a prisoner carrying heavy shackles, revealing endless desolation and loneliness.
Ji Wan looked at his back as he left, his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and then dropped weakly.
One of them sped away, leaving behind a determined back.
One left silently, leaving behind an untouchable secret.
In the end, she was the only one left, thrown in the middle of this devastated battlefield.
The cold wind blew, and she felt cold all over and her heart was empty.
The ringing of the cell phone was like a sharp thunder, breaking the suffocating silence.
Ji Wan was startled and grabbed the phone irritably, swiping it to answer the call without even looking at it.
"Hello?" Her voice was hoarse and impatient, like a hangover.
A slightly anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Excuse me, is this Ms. Ji Wan? Mr. Sun Zhou..."
Sun Zhou?
Ji Wan frowned. This name made her confused mind clear up a little.
"What happened to him?"
"Mr. Sun Zhou suddenly fainted today and was sent to our hospital. He listed you as his emergency contact."
Are you sick?
Hospitalized?
Ji Wan pinched his brows, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.
The matter between Chi Wenyan and Feng Lou has already made her overwhelmed, and now Sun Zhou has appeared.
It's really like when it rains it pours.
But, Sun Zhou is Nian Nian's savior after all.
She couldn't deny this kindness.
"Which hospital? I'll go there now." Ji Wan's voice became a little colder and harder, suppressing the confusion in his heart.
After asking for the address, Ji Wan grabbed the car keys and slammed the door shut.
As they sped along, the scene outside the car window quickly receded. Her mind was in a mess: Chi Wenyan's resolute face, Feng Lou's pale lips, and Nian Nian's once pale face...
These images intertwined together like a tangled mess, making her breathless.
She sighed heavily and swung the car into the hospital parking space.
The smell of disinfectant is so strong that it chokes the nose.
Ji Wan followed the nurse's instructions and found Sun Zhou's ward.
When I opened the door, a faint smell of medicine hit me in the face.
Sun Zhou, lying on the hospital bed, had a sallow complexion, chapped lips, and an air of sickly weakness. He was completely different from the gentle and elegant first love of college.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Sun Zhou opened his eyes with difficulty. Seeing that it was Ji Wan, the corners of his cracked mouth pulled into a weak arc.
"Wanwan, you're here." His voice was hoarse and fragile due to illness.
Ji Wan pulled out a chair beside the bed and sat down, looking at him calmly. "Yeah. I heard you were sick, so I came to see you."
Her tone was calm, without much emotion.
Sun Zhou's eyes dimmed a bit, but then he forced himself to cheer up again: "Ahem... It's just a minor problem, I just feel a little uncomfortable. I didn't expect them to notify you."
"What did the doctor say?" Ji Wan went straight to the point, not wanting to waste time.
Sun Zhou lowered his eyelids and spoke in a lower voice: "It's nothing serious. My body hasn't fully recovered since donating my bone marrow. This time, I might have had an infection, which caused complications."
He specifically emphasized the words "donate bone marrow".
Ji Wan felt a slight prick in his heart.
Yes, he paid the price of his health for Nian Nian.
How could she repay this kindness?
"Then you should have a good rest." Ji Wan's voice softened a little. "Nian Nian is doing well now, thanks to you."
Sun Zhou raised his head and looked at her with burning eyes: "As long as Nian Nian is fine, it doesn't matter what happens to me."
His gaze was so intense that Ji Wan avoided it uncomfortably.
The atmosphere in the ward was subtly stagnant.
Sun Zhou looked at Ji Wan's slightly tired face and said tentatively: "You... don't look well. Is it because the studio is too busy, or..."
He paused and asked meaningfully, "Did you have a fight with Chi Wenyan?"
Ji Wan's eyes turned cold instantly. She turned her head and looked at Sun Zhou sharply.
"Don't worry about my business."
