Chapter 174 What exactly happened to Si Yuan?
“Si Yuan, I have no right, nor should I, to explain what Jiang Wang did, but you can’t just refuse to eat or drink like this…”
"I have something to say to Song Yan. Sister, you can go out first."
After a long while, Si Yuan finally uttered these words.
Just that one sentence seemed to have exhausted all her energy.
Jiang Shu was stunned. The usually decisive woman was now showing deep concern and helplessness.
But I can understand.
She turned and left, closing the door behind her.
Only Song Yan and Si Yuan remained in the room.
Si Yuan looked at Song Yan.
Unexpectedly, the two had known each other since childhood, their relationship had been entangled for nearly twenty years, they had loved each other and hated each other, they had seen each other at their most glamorous moments, and they had also caused each other unforgettable humiliation...
Today, however, only he is with me.
Si Yuan smiled, a smile that carried an undercurrent of irony.
"Song Yan, what are you thinking now that you see me like this?"
Do you want to hear the truth?
"I'm just asking you the truth."
"It breaks my heart."
Si Yuan's face was pale, her eyes were bloodshot and sickly, and she raised an eyebrow with a mocking smile: "I thought I was going to marry someone who was different from you."
Song Yan lowered his eyes and said, word by word, "I am not like him."
Si Yuan didn't believe it at all, and couldn't be bothered to believe it.
She only said one sentence: "Don't tell Jiang Wang that the child is still alive."
Song Yan paused, then frowned: "So?"
Even after all this, she still decided to give birth to the child?
Even after all this, she still wants to have Jiang Wang's child?
Si Yuan closed her eyes and sighed wearily.
"This is my only family member."
——
The plane flew for a full twelve hours before landing in Haicheng.
Jiang Wang barely closed his eyes for the past twelve hours.
He stared at the sea and clouds stretching across several countries, his mind still unsettled.
Upon landing, a barrage of phone calls and messages began to pour in.
He searched to the bottom, but Si Yuan was nowhere to be found.
Jiang Shu played the most.
Jiang Shu rarely calls Jiang Wang, and the fact that he missed more than a dozen calls can only mean that something really happened.
As he got into the car that was picking him up, he called Jiang Shu back.
Jiang Shu answered the call quickly, and before Jiang Wang could speak, he heard Jiang Shu's sudden rebuke: "That day at the winery, I told you that Si Yuan didn't look well, why didn't you care more about her?"
Jiang Wang was confused, but he could tell something was wrong from Jiang Shu's words.
"Is Si Yuan feeling unwell?"
Jiang Shu closed her eyes in anger, wishing she could kick Jiang Wang right then and there.
"You left the country without a word, leaving her alone in the country. Have you lost your mind?"
Jiang Shu's insults were always harsh, and no one else dared to speak to Jiang Wang like that.
However, at this moment, Jiang Wang's mind was filled with Si Yuan, and he had no time to pay attention to her.
"Sister, what exactly happened to Si Yuan?"
Jiang Shu hesitated, feeling it would be too cruel for her to say those words herself.
“At the First Hospital, you come here yourself… You are responsible for your own mistakes.”
These are the Jiang family rules.
One should be responsible for one's own actions.
The word "hospital" seemed to strike Song Yan like a heavy blow, leaving him feeling cold all over.
At this moment, Jiang Wang truly realized that something had happened to Si Yuan.
He immediately told the driver to rush to the First Hospital, forgetting even about Fang Yan outside the car.
Jiang Wang frowned and subconsciously pressed his knuckles to his lips, a sign of his anxiety or unease.
He was filled with unease, wondering why Si Yuan was in the hospital...
Did Ji Song do something again, or did Si Yuan's depression relapse?
The car sped along the elevated highway, but Jiang Wang couldn't calm down even for a second.
He kept telling himself—nothing will happen, Si Yuan will be alright.
But the more I tried to comfort myself like this, the more turbulent my anxiety became.
Finally, the car stopped in front of the First Hospital.
Jiang Wang practically ran into the emergency room and asked a nurse before learning that Si Yuan had been transferred to the inpatient department.
He hurried along the signs, stopping at the end of the ward corridor.
Through the half-open door, he saw Si Yuan on the hospital bed.
She's lost weight; she's lost so much weight in just three days.
Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper, her eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her face.
Jiang Wang's heart sank suddenly, and his hand, which was about to push the door open, remained suspended in mid-air, hesitant to come down.
Just then, Song Yan's voice came from the ward: "Xiao Yuan, I promise you, I won't tell him."
Jiang Wang's body froze instantly.
Should we not tell him?
What shouldn't I tell him?
He pushed the door open.
The moment their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze.
Si Yuan slowly opened her eyes. The moment she saw Jiang Wang, there was no surprise or grievance in her eyes, only a deathly calm.
"You're back?"
Her voice was as light as the wind, yet it carried a chilling edge.
Jiang Wang opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say a word.
He stormed off without a word, is that why she turned out this way?
Jiang Wang walked over and tried to hold her hand.
Even though she didn't dodge, Jiang Wang felt as if she were very far away, and he couldn't touch her no matter what.
They weren't this distant when they reunited a year ago.
Jiang Wang's eyes reddened, his fingers trembled, and he clenched them tightly as if torturing himself, his fingertips sinking into his flesh.
His voice was hoarse, as if it had been sanded: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have argued with you... How could this have happened!"
Si Yuan looked at him, her eyes calm and undisturbed.
"You don't need to apologize to me." Her voice was soft, and she smiled as if nothing had happened. She didn't blame him: "It was an accident, it's not your fault."
But this calm, more restrained than ever before, was enough to leave a burning mark on Si Yuan's heart, a pain that made him breathless.
Song Yan stood to the side, looking intently at Jiang Wang.
So he can also experience pain.
Jiang Wang's fingers trembled slightly as he tried to keep his voice steady: "Si Yuan... what exactly happened?"
Song Yan suddenly spoke up, asking him on behalf of Si Yuan.
"I knew she was pregnant for so long, but you didn't notice at all, Jiang Wang, do you even care?"
Jiang Wang was startled, only then realizing Song Yan's presence.
How could Song Yan know so much about Si Yuan's pregnancy?
He turned around, his brows furrowed in a menacing manner: "Between us, do you have the right to speak?"
If it weren't for Song Yan, there would have been no rift between him and Si Yuan, and Si Yuan would never have gotten into trouble.
Song Yan chuckled coldly, his eyes turning icy: "What, didn't you say you'd take good care of her? Why are you abandoning her without a word?"
"That's all because of you. Why are you clinging to her?"
The two suddenly became hostile without warning, and for a moment they were locked in a fierce confrontation, their voices startling Jiang Shu outside.
She pushed the door open and shoved Jiang Wang aside.
"Enough! What are you still arguing about at a time like this? Jiang Wang, do you even know what's wrong with Si Yuan?"
