Chapter 145: At a loss
Shi Yan looked at Yun Ying who had fainted in his arms, pressed the elevator button, and shouted for someone to call an ambulance.
Inside the hospital.
Jiang Ling and Zhang Ran arrived late.
Shi Yan walked into the ward with the report. Yun Ying had already woken up and the doctor said she had a stress reaction.
Memories of her ex-husband emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, triggered by his tone.
Yunying sat on the edge of the bed, her usual lively look gone.
She was lonely and frail.
Shi Yan stood at the door but didn't know how to comfort her. Jiang Ling and Zhang Ran pushed the door open and walked in.
"Sister Ying."
Shi Yan calmed down and pushed open the door with a smile, followed by Jiang Ling and Zhang Ran.
Yun Ying smiled slightly, "Why are you all here? I'm fine. Yanyan told you."
"The news of you fainting in the company elevator has spread. Otherwise, you should rest more during this period."
Shi Yan said with a smile.
"It's a small matter. Besides, without me, who can handle all the business?"
Yun Ying made a little joke and seemed to return to her previous state.
Yunying was not hospitalized. After returning to the company, she devoted herself completely to work and was so busy that she was nowhere to be seen.
Zhang Ran pushed his glasses up and couldn't help but worry, "Sister Ying, is it okay if she continues like this?"
"She's just trying to distract herself from the situation."
Shi Yan stood aside with her arms folded, looking at Yun Ying. She said nothing, just hoping that the damn ex-husband would not come to disturb Yun Ying.
"Boss Shi, someone's looking for you."
"Here I come."
Shi Yan stood up and told Zhang Ran to go to work. She was about to ask who it was when she looked up and saw Lin Xin.
Lin Xin was carrying a handbag and wearing a custom-made branded outfit.
She had a decent and generous expression, with a gentle smile on her lips as she spoke, "Shi Yan, are you free to have lunch together at noon?"
Since someone came to invite her, Shi Yan had no reason to refuse.
She smiled and said okay, "Wait for me to get dressed."
Shi Yan returned to the office and heard her own heartbeat the moment she closed the door. She didn't expect Lin Xin to come so quickly.
She came straight to the door.
There was only a simple skirt in Shiyan's office, so she changed into it and went out.
"What does Miss Lin usually eat?"
"I've lived abroad for a long time and am used to the food there, but now I'm being teased for having a foreign stomach."
Lin Xin explained with a smile that she wanted to treat Shi Yan to Western food.
Shi Yan also had a smile on her lips, but her fingers were always grabbing her clothes helplessly.
Lin Xin kept looking up and down at Shi Yan. Her unintentional gaze was like a knife, cutting her clothes one by one, revealing her poverty and helplessness.
The two sat down and Lin Xin ordered in fluent English.
She used to come to this restaurant often and knew the owner. The owner came over personally to deliver the dishes and the two of them kissed on the cheek.
Shi Yan smiled the whole time, but she could still feel the invisible pressure from Lin Xin.
"Yu Chen also knows the boss here."
Lin Xin cut the steak and asked apologetically, "Didn't Yuchen bring you here? It's such a pity."
Shi Yan smiled sheepishly, "I have a native Chinese stomach."
Lin Xin didn't ask Shi Yan what she said. She kept talking about her previous story with Song Yuchen.
Those dusty stories were cleaned off and placed on the table again, preciously.
Shi Yan listened to the stories of handsome men and beautiful women, and childhood sweethearts, which could only be seen on TV.
She nodded from time to time.
They are a good match.
Shi Yan actually thought so too.
Lin Xin behaved politely and generously throughout the whole process. In other words, she did not regard Shi Yan as an enemy at all.
There is no other reason, it's just that Miss Lin looks down on people like Shi Yan from the bottom of her heart.
Shi Yan was not paying attention when she was going down the stairs and almost fell. Lin Xin held her back with understanding, "Be careful, the road here is slippery."
“The marble decoration of this shop is also imported.”
"No wonder."
Shi Yan looked at her and said thank you. The two parted at the intersection. Lin Xin went to the parking lot, and Shi Yan took a taxi and left.
The car drove downstairs and Shi Yan wanted to stop in front of the convenience store.
She picked up a rice ball and found a chair to sit down. God knows she couldn't get used to smoking while eating those Western meals.
She finished her rice ball and drank a cup of hot milk, and her stomach felt better.
But I feel uncomfortable.
Faced with Lin Xin's protest, Shi Yan was helpless.
She was like an elegant princess. Even if someone wanted to take her husband away, they would come to her and tell her, "I'm taking your husband away."
The princess filter was welded, and Shi Yan felt more and more like she was nothing.
She felt lonely and helpless, and after hearing about the events between her and Song Yuchen, she felt even more insignificant.
When she was in school, she always stayed away from those brilliant people. To her, those brilliant people would burn her.
Wen Fang told Shi Yan since she was a child that she should be sensible and obedient, and behave herself.
When Shi Yan was a child, she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. It was not until everyone stopped wearing school uniforms and could dress casually that she understood it.
When she was frantically washing her yellowed shirt, she realized that some people can look effortlessly glamorous.
She is not a princess.
She was just lucky to have Song Yuchen. When the day comes that Song Yuchen changes his mind, she will be a rag that can be thrown away by others at any time.
The rag didn't do anything.
Shi Yan felt a bitter taste in her mouth. She held the hot water and looked at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside the window.
Everyone is busy and the hard life of those workers is what suits her.
Like Wen Fang said, you must learn to endure hardship and enjoy it.
For Shi Yan, it would be a fantasy to have things go so smoothly.
To people of Song Yuchen's class, she is a burden.
Shi Yan has been wondering these days whether Song Yuchen could take a completely different and prosperous path if he married Lin Xin.
His abilities should be improved. Shi Yan thought that Song Yuchen could even be the president of Jingrui.
Shi Yan sat in the convenience store for almost two hours.
Until Song Yuchen called, he was downstairs of her company.
Shi Yan said hurriedly, "I, I suddenly have to go on a business trip to the snowy mountains to shoot."
"So suddenly?"
"Yes, I'm at the airport now. Sorry for not telling you."
Shi Yan lied, and she couldn't face Song Yuchen now.
Her mind was in a mess and she needed to sort out some things.
"I'll go over there."
"Need not!"
Shi Yan hurriedly stood up, grabbed her coat and walked out, "It's too late for you to come over. I'm getting on the plane soon."
"I'll be back in two days."
"how long?"
"Half a month."
Song Yuchen frowned and was about to ask what took so long, but Shi Yan changed the subject, "Zhang Ran called, and I have some things to tell him."
Shi Yan hung up the phone and quickly called her assistant, "When is the nearest flight to Longyu?"
"In an hour."
Shi Yan glanced at the time and thought she still had time to rush over.
"Okay, please book a plane ticket for me and tell Sister Ling that I'm going to the snowy mountains to shoot."
"Okay, Mr. Shi."
