Chapter 35: I applied to add my ex-wife as a friend, but she refused.
Xiang Jingheng has been feeling troubled lately.
The kidnapping incident caused a huge uproar. Although the news revolved around the name "Yu Yan," Xiang Chu and Gan Xiaoxing were also victims.
Especially Xiang Chu, who was still a child, encountered such a thing.
Mrs. Xiang curses and berates Yu Yan every day at home, and even wants to confront Yu Yan, but Xiang Jingheng stops her, saying, "Don't go and cause trouble, Yu Yan is quite badly injured."
"So what if she's badly injured? I'd rather she were dead!"
Mrs. Xiang was furious. "I always knew Yu Yan was a jinx, and we were incompatible according to the Chinese zodiac. From the day she married you, I haven't had a single day of good mood. It's bad enough that our Xiang family is suffering because of her, but she even brings bad luck to our own son!"
"Mom!" Xiang Jingheng couldn't stand it anymore. "If you say any more, you're going too far."
He frowned and said to his mother, "Don't say this in front of Xiang Chu, it's not good for the child."
Mrs. Xiang snorted coldly and continued to curse.
Xiang Jingheng felt that his mother's words were indeed a bit excessive, but he was also worried that his son might suffer some psychological trauma from the kidnapping incident.
Xiang Chu was alright, quite resilient. Later, after asking a couple of questions, Xiang Chu said that when Yu Yan was fighting with those thugs, he had Gan Xiaoxing cover his eyes and ears and hold him, hiding him in a corner.
So he didn't actually see or hear much, but when he opened his eyes, Yu Yan was covered in blood, which scared him.
Xiang Jingheng frowned as he listened.
If it were him, he would have done the same as Yu Yan in the same situation.
Protecting children from harm should always be a parent's top priority.
Gan Xiaoxing was left with a severe psychological trauma.
I send him many messages and make several phone calls every day, repeatedly telling him that I am scared.
She was the only child in her family, and her parents cherished her dearly. The kidnapping was like the sky falling for them. As soon as their daughter returned, they immediately contacted a psychologist to provide psychological counseling for Gan Xiaoxing.
She also called Xiang Jingheng, asking him to help appease Gan Xiaoxing while also taking the opportunity to criticize Yu Yan a bit more.
It roughly means: Look at the kind of woman you dated before! How dangerous! Look what she did to our Xiaoxing...
Even though Xiang Jingheng had already divorced Yu Yan, and Yu Yan was his ex-wife, he still couldn't stand hearing others say such things about her.
Ultimately, however, this matter is also his and Yu Yan's responsibility.
After all, Gan Xiaoxing only met Yu Yan by chance at the mall because she was buying clothes for Xiang Chu, and was then kidnapped because of Yu Yan... Even if Xiang Jingheng felt uncomfortable, he couldn't say anything on Yu Yan's behalf.
Gan's parents scolded him, and Gan Xiaoxing complained to him, and he could only listen and endure it.
But the more Xiang Jingheng thought about it, the more something seemed off.
Yu Yan's return to China this time was quite high-profile. Not only did she make an appearance at an important academic conference, but she also took on the role of head of a major research project. Most importantly, her information, which used to be encrypted, is now completely open, and anyone can search for information about her...
If she really was involved in some secret project, then she should be protected even more. Why be so high-profile?
Xiang Jingheng couldn't understand what Yu Yan's purpose was in returning to China this time.
But what's giving him a bigger headache right now is the new product launch plan. If the chip can't be developed, then their new product launch will have to be delayed.
Xiangshi Technology can't afford such setbacks now. WD Research Labs has a great reputation. If Xiangshi can really establish a strategic partnership with them, the new product plan can be successfully promoted.
He can also give an explanation to the board of directors.
After much deliberation, Xiang Jingheng took out the business card he had taken from someone else, Yu Yan, and entered his ex-wife's new phone number into his phone, digit by digit.
The phone rang three times, and Xiang Jingheng's chest pounded three times as he dialed it.
I felt inexplicably nervous.
No one answered.
Xiang Jingheng frowned, thought for a moment, and decided to add each other on WeChat first.
Communicating in writing might be more comfortable and less awkward.
Add a friend and send a request.
My heart skipped a beat.
Xiang Jingheng got up, sat on the edge of the bed, lit a cigarette, and thought about what he should say as the first thing after his friend accepted his friend's request...
—It's me, Xiang Jingheng.
Slightly indifferent.
—Yu Yan, it's me. I'd like to talk to you about the collaboration between Xiangshi Technology and WD Research Lab.
It still sounds too commercial.
Why not start with the children's issue... Xiang Jingheng thought of this, and his phone vibrated. He quickly picked up his phone and was about to start a chat.
It was discovered that Yu Yan had not accepted his friend request.
The message was a voice message sent by Gan Xiaoxing.
Gan Xiaoxing: "Jingheng, I can't sleep. Can you talk to me for a while? I'm still scared. I have nightmares as soon as I close my eyes, and my chest hurts..."
A hint of annoyance appeared between Xiang Jingheng's brows. He cut off the call before it was finished and made another call to Yu Yan.
He was puzzled; Gan Xiaoxing was completely unharmed, yet she was so frightened.
Yu Yan was so badly injured, didn't she feel scared, had nightmares, or want to find a man to comfort her?
Is she a woman?
