Chapter 79 [VIP] Best Friend's Shield (17)

Jiang Shaoyan didn't even know how he left the hospital. He just felt that his chest was almost numb with pain, as if something had been dug out and torn, causing blood to flow.

The mist in his eyes made it almost impossible for him to see the road beneath his feet. He stumbled and accidentally bumped into the bench next to him.

With this crisp "bang" sound, he finally found an outlet, and his whole body began to shake uncontrollably.

What should he do? What should he do?

Clearly, not long ago, she was still full of admiration for him, devoted to him, would smile at him, tease him, and spend his birthday with him...

She was deeply attached to him and liked him so much that she even threw away her self-esteem. But why could she forget him completely in the blink of an eye?

Does she really not like him at all?

Jiang Shaoyan tilted his head back, letting the tears flow from his eyes.

He couldn't stand it, he really couldn't accept it...

He knew that he was an unscrupulous bastard. When she loved him deeply, he did not know how to cherish her and trampled on her feelings wantonly. But now that she has taken back that love, he finally understands its value.

He knew that he had brought this upon himself, that he deserved it and that he did not deserve to be forgiven, but now he really couldn't bear to...

No matter how rationally he told himself that this was the best outcome for them, and that he should bless her and never bother her again, whenever he thought of the images of her and Fu Qingzhou together, his heart would suddenly tremble, followed by an uncontrollable pain...

Endless regret kept surging from the bottom of his heart, almost drowning him.

Jiang Shaoyan raised his hand to cover his cheeks, tears constantly dripping from between his fingers. He suddenly laughed softly as if he couldn't control himself. He laughed for a long time before slowly raising his hand to wipe away the tears from his cheeks.

Jiang Shaoyan let out a long sigh. He really couldn't let go now.

Whatever you do, don't just leave her like that.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shaoyan stood up from the ground again.

He raised his head and glanced behind him, then closed his eyes weakly. His long eyelashes trembled, and then he hid all the gloomy emotions in his eyes.

Finally, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Fang Wanrou.

…

Jiang Shaoyan made an appointment with Fang Wanrou not for any other reason. He just promised Fang Wanrou that he would help the Fang family overcome the financial shortage problem in recent period of time.

He knew that the Fang family had been having a hard time recently.

In order to overcome this difficulty, the Fang family has been looking for a marriage partner everywhere. As long as someone is willing to help, the Fang family will not hesitate to sacrifice Fang Wanrou's happiness.

He didn't care about Fang Wanrou's happiness, and he was willing to help her not because he still liked her, but only because this way she could avoid an arranged marriage and have a chance to continue to be with Fu Qingzhou.

Looking at Fang Wanrou, whose face was pale in front of him, Jiang Shaoyan no longer felt the slightest bit of throbbing in his heart, and even his emotions rarely fluctuated.

He didn't know why he had lost his mind and hurt Nan Yan for her. As long as she called him, no matter how late it was, he would leave Nan Yan behind without hesitation and go to find her, trying his best to make her happy...

But after getting rid of the resentment in his heart, he realized that he seemed to have never really understood Wanrou, and he didn't understand what he was obsessed with.

Now he even felt a little resentful. He resented why she called him that night.

Why does it have to be him?

Why can't it be someone else?

If there hadn't been that phone call, if he hadn't insisted on seeing her that night and hadn't abandoned Nan Yan, would things between him and Nan Yan have never ended up like this?

He didn't know how this would end?

But now he hated himself more!

Because all of this was caused by him, and he had to take all of his own faults. Obviously, at that time, they had already decided to start over...

Every time he thought of this, Jiang Shaoyan's heart trembled uncontrollably, and a dull and astringent pain kept spreading from the tip of his heart.

Fang Wanrou seemed to regain some spirits after hearing what Jiang Shaoyan said. "So, are you really willing to help our Fang family get through this crisis?"

She felt a little worried for a moment, fearing that he would make some requests that would make her feel embarrassed. After all, Fu Qingzhou had given her such a huge shock recently that she really didn't have the energy to deal with these things right now.

Jiang Shaoyan coughed a few times. He had been having a low fever since that day, and his overall condition was not very good. However, he still handed the contract over and said, "You can take a look. This is the contract drafted by the lawyer. I don't have any other intentions. I just don't want to see you being forced by your family because of this."

Fang Wanrou looked through the contract and confirmed that there were no problems. She was silent for a moment before slowly asking, "Do you really have no other requests?"

Jiang Shaoyan suddenly chuckled weakly, and that smile seemed to contain some relief and some apology, "You don't have to worry about these. Since I said I would help you, I won't do anything about this. What's more, we are friends, right? And you and Fu Qingzhou...ha, forget it."

"It's no use talking about it. All of this was caused by my selfishness."

When he said the second half of his words, he suddenly sighed, his eyes were filled with endless regret and a hint of tears flashed across them.

"If you really don't believe it, you can ask a lawyer to redraft a contract. Once it's finalized, I'll have the finance department transfer the money to you as soon as possible. I won't make it difficult for you."

Hearing this, Fang Wanrou was slightly stunned for a moment.

Although she didn't quite understand what he meant, his action moved her a little. She thought of what he had said before. She really regarded him as a good friend. Perhaps she had suffered too many blows recently, making her particularly sensitive. Jiang Shaoyan's help at this time finally made her feel better.

"No……"

She smiled at Jiang Shaoyan, and her defensive expression finally relaxed, and her face regained some vitality, "Thank you, I believe you."

Jiang Shaoyan saw her smile and his expression gradually calmed down, but his face still looked bad. He coughed a few times and said in a hoarse voice,

"Okay, in that case, you can read the contract first to see if there is anything missing. I'm going to go to the bathroom first. After dinner, I'll ask the driver to take you back."

Fang Wanrou nodded and said, "Okay."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked directly towards the bathroom.

Shortly after he left, a call came in and the cell phone on the table started ringing non-stop.

The restaurant was originally a relatively quiet environment, and no one answered the phone. The sudden ringing also caused many diners to stare in her direction.

Fang Wanrou glanced at the phone, it was not a number she recognized, so she looked up at the direction Jiang Shaoyan left, wondering why he hadn't come out yet.

She hesitated for a moment and looked at her phone again.

Seeing that the ringing continued, Fang Wanrou paused, but finally took the phone and pressed the answer button.

The call was from the assistant, who said there were some urgent matters regarding the company's afternoon meeting, and there was also a redrafted document that needed to be reconfirmed by General Manager Jiang.

Fang Wanrou had no choice but to tell her assistant Jiang Shaoyan that he was away for the time being and that she would tell him about the matter when he came back and told him not to worry. Only then did the assistant hang up the phone.

Fang Wanrou also breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to return the phone, perhaps because her finger accidentally touched the interface, a very short voice file package suddenly popped up, only a dozen seconds long.

She thought she had clicked it accidentally, and was about to turn it off when she heard Jiang Shaoyan's voice from inside.

"Is there really no room for maneuver?"

"If I hadn't let you get close to him, things wouldn't have turned out like this..."

Fang Wanrou's fingertips paused as she was about to press down. During this moment of hesitation, another familiar voice rang out.

"From the moment you let me get close to him, there was no possibility for us to be together! You said that as long as I help you keep an eye on him and don't let him get in touch with Fang Wanrou, it doesn't matter who he falls in love with. Why are you holding on to this issue now?"

…

It is not difficult to guess who the "he" in this sentence is.

But the content of the recording made Fang Wanrou's eyes tear up instantly. She covered her chest with her hands, feeling it was unbelievable. How could it be possible?

How could they...how could they do this?

What do they regard feelings as?

How dare you play with other people's lives like this?

Fang Wanrou seemed to understand something. No wonder Jiang Shaoyan was willing to help her. No wonder he seemed to be hesitant to speak today. So that's why!

So from the very beginning, Nan Yan approached Qing Zhou with ulterior motives. From the very beginning, she just wanted to keep an eye on Qing Zhou and prevent him from contacting her again.

Fang Wanrou couldn't hold back her tears and finally fell. She just felt wronged. Why did they treat them like this?

She now feels only resentment and anger...

Obviously everything was fake, but that idiot Fu Qingzhou really fell in love with her.

How is she supposed to accept this?

Jiang Shaoyan also returned to his seat at this time.

He saw Fang Wanrou crying and was about to ask her what had happened, but before he could even ask, she slapped him hard in the face.

The blow caused him to turn his head slightly.

Fang Wanrou's palms trembled slightly, and then she clenched them again. She played the recording and stared at him with red eyes, "So, this is why you are willing to help me?"

"What do you think of love? You know that the person I love is Fu Qingzhou, so why do you want Nan Yan to get close to him? Don't you know that this will make everyone suffer?"

When Jiang Shaoyan heard the recording in the phone, his expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly reached out to take the phone back, but Fang Wanrou took it back first.

Fang Wanrou stared at him closely, her eyes full of pain and defensiveness. Her best friend betrayed her, and her former lover no longer wanted her. What had she done wrong?

When Jiang Shaoyan saw this, he pinched his fingers weakly.

The corners of his mouth moved, and finally he said in a hoarse voice,

"I'm sorry, this is all my fault. It was my unwillingness that led to the consequences today... You can blame me, but this has nothing to do with Nan Yan."

Fang Wanrou shook her head in despair, tears streaming down her face. "Of course it's your fault. It's your selfishness that led to today's consequences. You knew... you knew Qingzhou had lost everything, so why did you still treat him like this?"

"You even deceived him about his feelings! You let Nan Yan approach him. Do you know that he really likes Nan Yan? He even gave up on me for this. How can I accept it?"
