The people Yan Yixing sent to protect Zheng Shuyi were too far away to hear A-Che's conversation with them, and they didn't know what had happened. Following too closely would definitely lead to being discovered.
"Boss, Miss Zheng was safe the whole way and wasn't followed. However... I saw Young Master Lan's subordinate, A-Che."
But Amu recognized that Ache was one of Lan Jingyan's people; they had dealt with each other before and Amu had some recollection of him.
"What happened?"
Yan Yixing was also a little curious. Lan Jingyan's people wouldn't show up unless there was something going on.
Moreover, Lan Jingyan has no connection with her family.
“Miss Zheng went to Sun Zhibin’s villa abroad, probably to deliver something. From a distance, I could only see a bloodstained sack in front of Sun Zhibin and Fu Yao. Miss Zheng also saw it at the entrance of the villa and looked somewhat frightened. Later, A-Che went over and said something to Sun Zhibin and his wife, but it was too far away to hear clearly.”
Amu confessed everything he knew.
"Okay, I understand."
Yan Yixing wondered, Sun Zhibin and his wife are people of excellent character, how could they have offended Lan Jingyan? Could it be...? That doesn't seem to make sense, there's no connection between them.
Zheng Shuyi sat blankly in the living room for a long time, her mind filled with the image of Sun Shanshan seriously injured and covered in blood. No matter what, the two had a very good relationship when they were young, and seeing her like this still made her very sad, even though she knew that Sun Shanshan was terribly wrong.
She didn't think Lan Jingyan was ruthless; she simply felt heartbroken seeing Sun Shanshan's appearance.
But they are not on the same path after all... Forget it... Zheng Shuyi, learn to forget the past.
Many bad things had happened in the past, yet she repeatedly softened her heart towards Sun Shanshan, believing that she would change. This time, she was completely disappointed.
Wiping away her tears, she returned to the kitchen to serve Yan Yixing food. In his current state, he could only eat small, frequent meals to gradually recuperate.
Zheng Shuyi, her eyes red, composed herself and brought the porridge into the secret room. Yan Yixing was looking at her phone, seemingly typing.
He wasn't asleep; she thought he must be asleep by now.
“You’re not asleep, so you can drink the porridge.”
Zheng Shuyi placed the porridge on the table.
"Uh-huh."
When Yan Yixing saw Zheng Shuyi arrive, she put down her phone and responded softly.
"Come on, slow down, put it on properly."
Zheng Shuyi picked up a cushion from the side and carefully helped him slowly get up, placing the cushion behind his back.
"Why are you crying? Your eyes are so red."
The observant Yan Yixing quickly noticed that something was wrong with Zheng Shuyi. Her eyes and nose were red, and there were tears in her eyes, indicating that she had just wiped them away.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about bad things."
She thought all guys were straight, but she never expected Yan Yixing to be able to tell that she was in a bad mood...
"Can you talk to me? I'll be your trash can, you can confide in me."
For some reason, Yan Yixing wanted to listen to everything he had to say, to know what had happened to make this seemingly strong woman cry...
He felt a pang of sympathy for her; she looked so pitiful, and even though she tried her best to hide it, he could still see through her at a glance.
"Aren't we that close yet?"
Zheng Shuyi paused slightly, quickly withdrew her hand, and took a small step back.
"Hmm... I was worried you'd be holding it in, but it's okay if you don't want to talk about it."
Yan Yixing had long anticipated that Zheng Shuyi would refuse. Indeed, who would confide in someone they had only recently met?
He's overthinking it.
“I had a very good friend when I was a child. As we grew up together, I found that she changed and became a stranger... Only today did I realize that I didn’t understand her at all. We have different values and are destined to be from different worlds.”
Zheng Shuyi thought about it and realized that it wasn't exactly a secret that couldn't be told. She knew that people with different values would eventually go their separate ways, and it was only a matter of time before they parted ways.
Zheng Shuyi is someone who can let go easily; she'll only mention Sun Shanshan less and less in front of others in the future. And precisely because she's not familiar with Yan Yixing, once she's said it, she'll leave, and there won't be any further contact.
Everyone changes, and what you see now may not be the truth.
For example, he has two faces, one in public and one in private, and even his parents don't know what kind of person he really is.
There's something I'm not sure if I should tell you.
He's right; perhaps what she saw in the beginning wasn't the truth.
She could distinguish between good and evil. Should she tell Yan Xiluo about it? Judging from his appearance, he probably didn't know that his sister was injured.
"What is it? It's up to you. You can say it if you want, or not if you don't."
This piqued Yan Yixing's curiosity, but he always chose to respect her right to speak or not.
"The reason Miss Yan didn't come to pick you up right away is because she was seriously injured, and the culprit is that friend I just mentioned..."
One was a close friend of hers, and the other was the sister of the man she had just saved... She hesitated for a moment, knowing that Yan Xiluo and Yan Yixing were both good people, so she decided to speak up.
"What? Hiss..."
Yan Yixing was startled and excited. She immediately tried to get up, but she forgot that she had an abdominal injury. In this impulsive act, the wound tore open, and blood began to seep out from the gauze.
"You're still injured, don't move around."
Zheng Shuyi was also startled by his actions, her nervousness written all over her face. She quickly supported him to prevent him from moving around.
"I just want to know how my sister is doing..."
Yan Yixing's eyes held a complex mix of emotions, and in that instant, her eyes turned bloodshot...
Family is his bottom line, especially since it's her beloved younger sister!
No wonder. Yan Xiluo usually dotes on him the most, and she would definitely come over immediately if she knew he was injured. Now that I think about it, the things she said on the phone were actually a way of hiding her injury from him.
"I only heard from that person that Sun Shanshan paid someone to tamper with the wires used for stunts on set, and that Miss Yan fell from them and was seriously injured. That's what that person said. I don't know the details. That person was sent by Miss Yan's fiancé. Sun Shanshan was also taught a lesson by his people. When we arrived, she was already on the verge of death."
This was the first time Zheng Shuyi had seen him so frantic. He loved his younger sister very much, and Zheng Shuyi told him what she had heard.
As for the extent of Yan Xiluo's injuries, she really didn't know.
All she knew was that Yan Xiluo loved Yan Yixing very much, and that she had said so much to her on WeChat even when she was injured, all so that Yan Yixing could recover properly.
Even when she was injured, she spoke to Zheng Shuyi with great politeness and respect, and always asked for Zheng Shuyi's opinion before making any decisions, rather than arranging things on her own.
This kind of family affection deeply moved her.
