Su Yanle's eyes widened as she looked at Yao Shupei.
After she said that, her expression changed instantly. It was as if her entire body had lost its strength. She leaned weakly against the armrest beside her, and tears flowed out of her eyes.
Su Yanle sat at the side, not knowing what to do. She had never made wild guesses about the future, but she suddenly thought of the worst outcome.
What if Dad's surgery really failed?
As she thought about it, her tears flowed out again. If that was the case, she would never be able to forgive the Song family. She would never be able to forgive Yang Jing for running away with the Song family's life-saving money, and she would never be able to forgive Song Ziwei for leaving her in the lurch.
As she thought about it, she suddenly became excited. It turned out that this was the part that she was most afraid of.
She felt that she had to find Song Ziwei and ask him where he had been these past few days and why he was deliberately avoiding her.
Her hands trembled as she took out her phone from her bag and dialed the number that she had dialed countless times in the past few days, but she had also heard the mechanical female voice reminding her that the phone was turned off countless times.
Sure enough, the cold female voice came from the phone. It was as if she was deliberately trying to anger the anxious person. The simple announcement that the phone was turned off made people fall into the abyss of despair like a judge who sentenced them to death.
Su Yanle suddenly thought of the baby in her stomach. This little life had just been discovered by the world, but what welcomed him was not laughter and joy. She did not know if the child who was connected to her could feel the same despair as her.
She gently touched her belly, as if she was really touching a child's small palm.
No matter what, even if it was for the sake of the child, she had to find his father and ask him everything.
Shen Zhien, who was carrying a shopping bag, stood at the side for a while, but the two numb and sad women in front of him did not seem to notice him at all.
"Yan Le." He saw Su Yanle lowering her head and gently placing her hand on her stomach, deep in thought. Although he couldn't bear to interrupt her, he couldn't help but call out.
Su Yanle turned around and looked at him.
"If you want to find Song Ziwei, I'll accompany you.”he suddenly said. His tone was soft but firm.
Unexpectedly, Su Yanle stood up and looked into his eyes. After a while, she nodded gently and took the shopping bag from his hand. She gently placed it beside Yao Shupei, who was still sobbing with her head lowered. Then, she walked towards the door with light footsteps.
He quickly followed and ran to the side of the road to hail a taxi.
.......
The car drove on the road unhurriedly.
Su Yanle looked at the road that continued to stretch forward. Although this seemed urgent, she really had no reason to urge the driver to speed up. After all, she didn't even know where Song Ziwei was.
"There's something I still want to ask you.”Shen Zhien suddenly said.
Su Yanle slowly turned to look at him, waiting for him to continue.
" What kind of relationship do you have with Song Ziwei? All along, I thought that you were just putting on an act. I thought that you should be relieved that the marriage was canceled," he said with an awkward smile, as if he knew that he had touched a sensitive area. But before he could finish, Su Yanle interrupted him.
Zhien, I'm pregnant." She said softly and looked down at her flat stomach that had not moved at all. She knew that there was a small life curled up inside, feeling her every move.
Shen Zhien was stunned, and a somewhat annoyed expression appeared on his face. Su Yanle did not know why he, who had always been gentle, suddenly became angry. She looked at him with some doubt and saw that he had lowered his head slightly, as if he was trying hard to calm his emotions. After a while, he raised his head again, and his expression had eased.
"I think Zhang Yiwen is like a demon now.”He said in a hoarse voice.
After he finished speaking, even he himself felt a little shocked.
In the past, he would always protect Zhang Yiwen foolishly. He would never have thought that he would say such a thing one day.
Zhang Yiwen was selfish, lonely, and insecure. This was something that he had known since he was very young. However, from the moment he found her curled up in a dark corner of the orphanage, he made up his mind to protect this helpless girl.
In the past, he always felt that it was the life in the orphanage when she was young that made her a little sensitive and dark. In his eyes, she was a victim like him, forced by life to create a way to protect herself. However, the way he learned was to face the world calmly, while Zhang Yiwen learned to face everyone with a fake face.
He thought about it and found it ridiculous.
He was probably the only one who truly understood her true colors. However, the person who cared about him the most in this world was also him, Shen Zhien.
Ever since he was young, he still found it hard to reject Zhang Yiwen, who had become more and more dark and selfish. He had convinced and comforted himself countless times in his heart, telling himself that Zhang Yiwen had just experienced too much darkness and was too insecure. She just wanted to protect him too much.
However, deep down, he knew that this was just an excuse. It was his humble excuse that he couldn't escape from the quagmire of Zhang Yiwen.
"Tell me, is Zhang Yiwen related to the Song Corporation and your company this time?”He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he had mustered all his strength to ask this question.
Su Yanle didn't answer and turned to look out of the window.
A minute later, she replied in a pitifully low voice,""You don't need to know about this." she said.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Tell me." Shen Zhien let out a long sigh. "In the past, I always let Zhang Yiwen go. I was always unable to reject her requests that I knew were wrong. But this time, I can't just leave her be like this. She has to bear the responsibility for her mistakes. This is the only way to prevent her from walking into the abyss of darkness. So, tell me, I won't persuade you to let her go.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Yanle with an extremely determined gaze.
Su Yanle finally sighed slightly and his tone softened.
"I know you like Zhang Yiwen." As she spoke, she did not care about Shen Zhien's surprised expression. "I didn't tell you not because I was afraid that you would stand on her side, but because I knew how painful it would be if I was hurt by the person I liked.”As she spoke, she escaped from Shen Zhien's line of sight. "But since you said so, then I'll tell you. That's right. The current situation between our two families is all Zhang Yiwen's fault. Moreover, she has an accomplice. I don't know her identity, but I can tell that she's a very powerful person. All of this had been planned long ago.”Her tone was neither hurried nor slow, but it was filled with unsuppressible resentment and even more helplessness.
"Actually, I've long since discovered this suspicion, but it was too late and I didn't have the ability to stop it.”She paused for a moment before speaking again. After she finished her last word, her voice stopped abruptly.
Shen Zhien did not speak for a long time. The two of them quieted down. Su Yanle opened the window slightly, and the noise of the cars outside suddenly surged in.
Su Yanle felt the wind blowing against his face. She gently closed her eyes and did not say anything else. She knew how upset Shen Zhien was right now. She wondered if he would find it unacceptable for a woman whom he had protected since he was young to do such a thing.
At the thought of this, she finally opened her eyes secretly and glanced at his face.
"I understand." Shen Zhien suddenly smiled and turned around. Coincidentally, she met Su Yanle's sneaky gaze.
"I'm probably responsible for her becoming like this. I've been standing by her side and tolerating her ridiculous mistakes. Therefore, this time, she had to bear the consequences no matter how serious they were.”He looked at her and said something that Su Yanle found hard to believe.
She was stunned for a moment before she slowly nodded.
She knew that although she said that, his heart was probably being cut by a knife. She felt heartache for Shen Zhien, but at the same time, she could not suppress her suspicions. Shen Zhien, who had always stood on Zhang Yiwen's side, would really do as he said and make Zhang Yiwen pay the price? Could he really bear to do so?
At the thought of this, she suddenly hated Zhang Yiwen to the bone. She hated her so much that her heart ached. She hated her for destroying so many people's lives for her own benefit. She hated her for hurting the hearts of everyone who loved her.
Is this kind of person really worth liking?
She really wanted to turn around and ask Shen Zhien this question. However, after thinking about it, he held back.
It was probably not up to him to decide on things like relationships.#
