Chapter 235 Did you think I'd sympathize with you just because you acted pitiful?
It was noon on the third day, just as I was about to leave work.
Song Yanzhi frowned as he looked at Nan Xia's black and white profile picture on QQ. She hadn't been online for many days, and he would unconsciously check it many times every day.
Will she be online more often than expected?
Isn't she supposed to be marrying Shen Yan? Why has she disappeared like this?
He didn't know why, but he had been feeling uneasy these past few days, and he kept dreaming about her at night. He dreamt of her pitifully crouching in a dark corner, not saying a word...
He was both angry and worried, feeling out of control.
Why do I keep dreaming about her?
Song Yanzhi picked up the phone next to him, hesitated for a long time, and then dialed her number again, only to hear a message that the phone was switched off again!
Why isn't your computer on today?
Has something really happened?
If something happens to her, Shen Yan will definitely help her, right? The Shen family isn't without influence; helping her is more than enough for them. Why should she meddle in other people's business?
In the end, she might even mock and dislike you.
Song Yanzhi logged out of QQ, shut down his computer, knocked on the office door, and pushed it open. Jiang Yubai stood in the doorway and asked, "Let's go have dinner together."
"Hmm," he replied absentmindedly, picked up his coat from the back of the chair, and prepared to leave.
"What should we eat for lunch today? Honestly, I worry about what to eat every day. What do you want to eat?" he asked the man who walked over. The man looked indifferent and didn't say a word for a long time, which was driving him crazy.
"I'm asking you a question," he said, emphasizing his words.
Song Yanzhi snapped out of her reverie, frowned, looked up at him, and asked, "What did you want me to ask you?"
"What do you want to eat for lunch today?" Jiang Yubai asked again, speechless. What was he thinking?
"Whatever." He uttered two words indifferently and walked out of the office. Many employees greeted him. Now he was the only boss in the law firm. If the employees didn't try to please him, who else would they please?
The law firm is still gossiping about Nan Xia and Zhou Yuanming, wondering why she resigned and why she wanted to ruin Zhou Yuanming.
"Then... let's go eat hot pot? It's been so long since I've had it. I remember Nanxia also really likes hot pot," Jiang Yubai said.
Upon hearing her name, Song Yanzhi's brows furrowed involuntarily. After going downstairs, he abruptly said, "Go eat by yourself. I have something to take care of."
"What are you going to do?" he asked curiously.
He glanced at his best friend, "...Let's go check on Nan Xia's family."
"Oh my, you can't hold back anymore, you're finally going to find her? Are you planning to snatch her back from Shen Yan?" Jiang Yubai asked with a smile, arms crossed.
"Hmph, who's trying to take her away? She's willingly going with that man, so let her go. I'm just going to check if she's safe." Song Yanzhi said in a deep voice before getting into his car. His best friend walked around the car and got in as well.
"Go to Nanxia Apartment." He uttered a few words in a deep voice to the bodyguard driving in front.
The bodyguard acknowledged and drove off.
More than half an hour later, the car stopped downstairs at Nanxia's apartment building. The two men got out of the car and went upstairs.
"When did Nanxia buy this house? It seems she's made a lot of money; houses here aren't cheap," Jiang Yubai said, standing in the elevator.
Song Yanzhi wasn't in the mood for small talk. She arrived at her door and rang the doorbell—it was noon, her mother should be home, right?
But after waiting for a long time, no one came to open the door!
He pressed the button again, but still no one came to open the door.
"Tap tap..." He patted the door again, but no one answered.
"Has Nanxia already moved into the Shen family villa?" Jiang Yubai guessed. Song Yanzhi turned to look at him and said in a deep voice, "Her mother couldn't possibly have moved to the Shen family's house as well, could she?"
"Will the Shen family give them a villa and they all move out? Didn't they say they were getting married? Is a villa a dowry?" Jiang Yubai guessed again.
Upon hearing his words, Song Yanzhi put her hands on her hips and couldn't help but laugh. She had been worried about her safety, but perhaps her whole family was enjoying a life of luxury.
He didn't want to deal with this woman anymore, so he turned around and strode away.
"Hey, they're just leaving like that? Should we call Nanxia's sister again and ask?" Jiang Yubai asked from behind.
"What's there to ask? Don't mention the name Nanxia to me again!" Song Yanzhi coldly warned.

After being starving for several days, Nanxia finally couldn't take it anymore and collapsed on the bed.
If she weren't pregnant, she could manage to go three or four days without eating, but she gets hungry quickly after becoming pregnant, and she visibly lost a lot of weight, her face turning deathly pale.
My legs were trembling as I stood up, and I was so weak that I looked like a ghost.
The maids didn't come into the bedroom, and two bodyguards remained at the door until Shen Yan returned in the afternoon. He went into her bedroom and saw her lying motionless on the bed, assuming she was asleep.
After all, she had been curled up on the single sofa for the past few nights.
He must have been catching up on sleep in bed during the day.
Shen Yan was annoyed by her stubborn temper. He walked to the bedside, abruptly pulled back the covers, and commanded in a deep voice, "Get up! Who gave you permission to sleep? Didn't you say you wouldn't sleep in the bed? If you're so capable, then don't get on the bed!!"
Sleeping so soundly?
His expression was dark and stern. He pushed her shoulder harder again, his tone becoming even harsher, "Didn't you hear me tell you to get up?!"
After a while, she still didn't move. Chen Yan became a little impatient and threatened her again, "Hmph, do you think I'll sympathize with you if you pretend to be pitiful? I'll give you three seconds to get up now!"
After speaking for a long while, seeing that she still hadn't moved an inch, Shen Yan looked at the woman with her eyes tightly closed and her face pale, and then realized that she didn't seem to be faking it—
He immediately lifted her eyelids and checked her breathing; it was very weak. He frowned and said, "Isn't it said that people can survive seven days without food?"
She's only been ill for three or four days, how could she be in such bad shape?
Shen Yan immediately picked her up from the bed and strode out of the bedroom, angrily scolding the bodyguards outside: "How were you guarding her? You didn't even know she had fainted?"
"Young Master Shen, you didn't say we could go in..." the bodyguard explained in a low voice.
"I didn't say anything, but when you heard there was no movement inside, you didn't even bother to go in and check? Are you all pig-brains?" Shen Yan asked in a deep voice.
The bodyguard dared not speak and silently followed behind. By the way, didn't Young Master Shen hate this woman a lot?
After arriving at the hospital, the doctor quickly started giving Nanxia intravenous nutrition.
The bodyguard outside dialed the master's number and reported after the call connected: "Master, that woman fainted from hunger, and Young Master Shen has brought her to the hospital."
Shen Shaohui was leisurely drinking tea at home, with his wife sitting beside him. Mrs. Shen had returned safely yesterday, and upon hearing the bodyguard's report, his face darkened.
Does Ayan still care about that woman?
She just fainted from hunger, she's not going to die! Why send her to the hospital?
“It seems that woman can’t be kept around any longer. I think she’s just pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy. If Ayan softens her heart, she will definitely be bewitched by her again,” Madam Shen said in a deep voice.
