Chapter 21 The only thing you can do is let Shi Nian go.
On the other side.
Lu Yanzhi was driving, and outside the car window, the trees were rustling in the wind.
The weather forecast says it will be windy tonight.
The shadows of trees are all under the dim streetlights.
The time on the vehicle changed from 23:59 to 00:00.
He suddenly slammed on the brakes.
After only a brief pause, he immediately turned around and sped off towards the hospital.
There were few cars on the elevated highway in the early morning, and the Aston Martin sped along the lane.
With a final slam on the brakes, the car came to a stop downstairs at the hospital.
He looked up at the building, still brightly lit in the dead of night, his lips slightly pursed.
Taking out his phone, Lu Yanzhi found Shi Nian's number and dialed it.
"Beep beep, beep beep... Sorry, this is the number you have dialed..."
The next moment, his call was disconnected.
When I called again, the call was hung up once more.
Lu Yanzhi changed Lin Zhihuan's phone number and was about to call her.
It was only then that he realized that Lin Zhihuan had called him on his way to take Han Wei home, but he hadn't answered.
With a slight frown, Lu Yanzhi touched the dial button.
The call was disconnected again.
He looked at his phone, editing a message to send.
only……
He hesitated while editing.
How should he ask?
"Knock knock".
The car window was knocked on.
Lu Yanzhi looked up and saw Lin Yuchen wearing a white coat.
With a slight frown, Lu Yanzhi rolled down the car window.
Lin Yuchen waved his phone in his hand.
He said, "If you want to know about Shi Nian's situation, go up and see for yourself. Don't call again."
Lu Yanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly: "I am her husband."
Lin Yuchen gave a mocking smile.
“So you still know you’re her husband,” Lin Yuchen said. “But Huanhuan told me that you won’t be for long.”
Lu Yanzhi clenched his fists tightly, looking at Lin Yuchen standing outside the car window with a mocking expression, and said, "This has nothing to do with you."
"Of course it's related to me."
Lin Yuchen leaned forward slightly, his tone frivolous and dangerous: "Huanhuan said that because she got into a fight and caused Shi Nian to be pushed down the stairs by you, she has to compensate Shi Nian by giving me, her older brother, the compensation."
Lin Yuchen smiled and said, "I think it's good."
"Lin Yuchen!" Lu Yanzhi clenched his fists tightly.
Lin Yuchen didn't respond, but just stood there quietly watching him.
After a long while, Lu Yanzhi said, "Shi Nian asked you to come over and tell me these things?"
After her act with Lin Zhihuan was exposed, she went to find Lin Yuchen.
Is this her new trick?
The smile on Lin Yuchen's face gradually faded, and his cold eyes locked onto Lu Yanzhi: "Are you angry?"
“Lu Yanzhi, you need to understand that there are more than just you, Lu Yanzhi, in City A.”
“I’ve watched her grow up since she was a child. I know her charm, it’s no less than yours.”
"If you like Han Wei, then you should stick with Han Wei. You shouldn't care about Shi Nian at all."
Lin Yuchen responded calmly.
“Lu Yanzhi.” Lin Yuchen made up his mind and said, word by word, “The only thing you can do now is to let her go.”
The situation was urgent, and a critical condition notice needed to be signed, but when the nurse came out to make contact, only Lin Zhihuan was waiting outside.
Shi Nian's father is gone, and her mother is also estranged. She could only turn to Lu Yanzhi as her husband, but it was Lu Yanzhi who pushed Shi Nian downstairs and left with his mistress.
Even so, Lin Zhihuan still tried calling him, but he didn't answer.
Finally, Lin Zhihuan used the emergency situation and her status as the hospital director's daughter to forcibly sign the critical illness notice on behalf of the patient, and then supplemented the corresponding power of attorney later.
Seeing Lu Yanzhi's face grow increasingly tense, Lin Yuchen sneered inwardly.
He had already given Lu Yanzhi a chance.
As long as Lu Yanzhi goes to the hospital building now and inquires about the specific details of what Shi Nian said, he will consider that Lu Yanzhi still has a heart.
But he didn't.
Since that's the case, let's just say it outright.
Watching Lu Yanzhi coldly close the car window and drive away, Lin Yuchen remained expressionless.
The strong wind at dawn whipped up the hem of his white coat. As he watched the Aston Martin turn the corner, he shook his head and sighed softly.
...
When Shi Nian woke up, it was already daylight.
The morning sunlight slanted down through the window, casting a bright, pale yellow glow.
"Niannian, you're awake!"
Lin Zhihuan's voice came through.
Shi Nian was still a little dazed when she woke up. Looking at Lin Zhihuan and Fu Jinyan who were worried beside her, the pain in her body came over her and she remembered everything.
"I……"
Shi Nian only said one word before pausing.
The physical pain and the bright red blood before she fainted gave her a bad feeling.
“Niannian…” Lin Zhihuan carefully helped Shi Nian sit up and sadly told her, “The baby is gone.”
Shi Nian opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she just closed her mouth blankly.
After about half a minute of silence, she lowered her head and replied with a soft "Mm".
It appears that there is no reaction at all.
There is neither joy nor sorrow.
A very calm response.
Lin Zhihuan and Fu Jinyan exchanged a glance. Finally, Fu Jinyan walked over to her and said, "Shi Nian, you should rest well and take good care of your health."
"You were lucky not to break any bones after falling down the stairs, but you still have soft tissue injuries, a mild concussion from the impact that hasn't healed, and you also suffered a miscarriage..."
As he spoke, Fu Jinyan softened his tone, as if if he raised his voice even slightly, Shi Nian would suddenly disappear from this world.
He said, "I'll recommend that music competition to you first, and then..."
"I want to participate." Shi Nian spoke up before Fu Jinyan could finish.
Her hands, hidden under the covers, were clenched tightly.
The fingertip pierced the palm, drawing blood.
It hurts a lot.
But it made her feel more real.
Shi Nian sat leaning against the headboard, her face expressionless, showing neither joy nor sorrow.
She looked up at Fu Jinyan.
She said, "I can."
"But the first live broadcast is only three days away," Fu Jinyan said worriedly. "Your health..."
"I can." Shi Nian repeated the sentence calmly, her voice revealing neither joy nor sorrow.
His fists under the blanket were clenched so tightly they were trembling.
Fu Jinyan and Lin Zhihuan exchanged a glance.
Finally, Fu Jinyan compromised and said, "Okay."
Upon hearing this, Shi Nian lowered her eyes slightly and loosened her fists.
"Thank you," she said softly.
Fu Jinyan shook his head.
"No need for thanks when things are mutually beneficial."
Fu Jinyan understood that with Shi Nian's strength, as long as she performed normally, there would definitely be no problem.
Moreover, the first live broadcast is just a performance, and the elimination system will only officially begin in the second broadcast, so there shouldn't be any problem with Shi Nian participating.
He just felt sorry for her.
Shi Nian raised her head and smiled.
She was telling the two of them that she was alright.
But everyone present knew that she had something to do.
Not long after, Shi Nian said, "Brother Jin Yan, I probably won't be able to prepare my own costumes and find a makeup artist in my current state. Can you help me?"
Fu Jinyan nodded: "This is part of the company's duties."
"Please go find it for me right now, okay?" she pleaded again.
Fu Jinyan didn't know how to answer.
Shi Nian then looked at Lin Zhihuan.
"Huanhuan, I'm a little hungry. Can you go buy me something to eat?"
Lin Zhihuan opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, and just looked sadly at Shi Nian.
Shi Nian smiled, looked at the two of them, and said, "Is that alright?"
There was already a hint of pleading in her voice.
The two exchanged a glance, then understood and agreed to Shi Nian's request.
They left the ward and closed the door behind them.
After they left, the ward was quiet.
The smile on Shi Nian's face slowly faded, and the fake upturned corners of her mouth gradually lowered.
It was a bit cold in April, so she snuggled back under the covers.
It was so cold that Shi Nian covered her head with the blanket.
Unable to control her emotions any longer, she bit her fist until it bled and wept silently.
