Chapter 664 Extra - Speechless
The "she" in this context naturally refers to Shu Tong.
Chen Ci's hand on the steering wheel paused slightly, his mind reeling: "Why?"
Fang Tong smiled and said, "In my opinion, all the care you are giving me now is based on the fact that I look just like her, so I can't be comfortable with you."
After all, all the kindness you've shown me seems like something I stole from her.
A name that is not correct will not be proper for one's words.
Chen Ci had nothing to refute on this point.
His care for her was indeed based on the fact that she looked just like Shu Tong, and he had reason to believe that she might have memories of Shu Tong in her mind.
only……
There's simply no way to explain this.
The two didn't say anything more, silently went downstairs in the apartment complex, and then silently went upstairs again.
Chen Ci took out some ointment from the medicine box and handed it to her: "Apply this every two hours, and apply a thick layer before bed. The swelling and scars should be gone by tomorrow morning."
"Thank you." Fang Tong took it.
She didn't know why Chen Ci had these strange ointments, but having something to use was better than enduring it.
She can skip going to the hospital today, but she'll have to go tomorrow.
If the slap mark remained on her face, Fang Miao would probably start overthinking things.
"What about Fang Miao..."
"Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to take care of you, and there are even caregivers available."
"Okay." Fang Tong nodded. "Thank you."
Her attitude, tone, and the aloofness in her eyes all reminded Chen Ci of the insurmountable chasm between them for the time being.
He didn't stay long, just told them to take a rest and then left.
Fang Tong went to the bathroom to wash her face. Looking at the clear red marks of five fingers on her face, she felt surprisingly unmoved.
She applied the ointment to half of her face, gently rubbed it in, and a cool, comfortable feeling began to spread.
Just then, she received a call from Lao Chen, asking why she hadn't returned to work yet. Fang Tong didn't know what to say, so she simply said that she had taken the afternoon off and would return the next morning.
Old Chen didn't press further: "Okay, then take care and get some rest. Anyway, none of the leaders came back this afternoon."
Fang Tong replied, "Mm."
After hanging up the phone, she went to the study to organize the client information she had, planning to hand it over to Old Chen the next day.
When she got to the study, she remembered the painting again, and after hesitating for a long time, she still didn't dare to go over to it.
What's the point of looking again? That person isn't her.
Chen Ci didn't like her either.
Just then, her phone received a message, which she opened to find was from Ye Zhiyuan.
I apologize for what happened today. I'm sorry, I didn't handle the relationship between the three of us well.
Fang Tong frowned, just about to type a reply, when Ye Zhiyuan's message arrived again.
[Besides, your relationship with Chen Ci is fake too, right? You two aren't together; I could tell.]
Don't worry, I will sort things out with Qin Youran as soon as possible and pursue you with a more genuine identity.
Fang Tong was getting quite agitated. She let out a breath, finished typing the message, and sent it over.
[Chairman Ye, we have no relationship whatsoever other than that of superior and subordinate, and my personal affairs are none of your business.]
After sending the message, Ye Zhiyuan did not reply. Fang Tong raised her hand to rub her temples and tossed her phone aside.
What did she do to cause Ye Zhiyuan to misunderstand?
That's enough already!
How could there be such a... speechless man!
...
The Ye family.
Ye's father had learned more about Ye Zhiyuan and Fang Tong from Qin Youran.
However, everyone knew in their hearts that Ye Zhiyuan's personality prevented him from doing anything more.
Mr. Ye comforted Qin Youran with a few words, and Mrs. Ye even gave her a family heirloom jade bracelet, which helped to calm Qin Youran down.
"Uncle, Aunt, I didn't mean anything by it. Both the Qin and Ye families are prominent families in Qing City. Let's not let this marriage cause a huge uproar in the end."
She smiled and said, "So I still hope that the two elders can have a good talk with A-Yuan."
