Chapter 236 She's Not Well

Chapter 236 She's Not Well

Jiang Wang's voice carried a deep, threatening tone, cracking as it struck the air.

Yu Qingfang froze, and her grip on Si Yuan loosened slightly.

But the thought of Song Yan still being in detention made her grit her teeth and hold onto Si Yuan's wrist tightly.

She thought that Jiang Wang was, after all, a junior, and wouldn't dare to do anything to her, his senior.

She pulled Siyuan close and urgently commanded her, "Xiaoyuan, you must help your mother, help your brother! Ayan can't be hurt, he became like this because of you!"

Si Yuan felt a sharp pain from her grip, and her brows furrowed even more. Just as she was about to ask for more details, her wrist was suddenly seized by an even stronger force.

Jiang Wang took a step forward and pulled Si Yuan directly behind him.

His hands were so cold that Si Yuan shuddered violently.

Jiang Wang stared at Yu Qingfang, his eyes cold and his words carrying a warning: "Now, leave immediately."

"Jiang Wang! You can't meddle like this!" Yu Qingfang retorted fiercely but weakly. "Xiao Yuan is A Yan's sister, she can't just stand by and watch her die!"

"She is not."

Jiang Wang's voice was completely calm, expressing his disgust and amusement at Yu Qingfang's unreasonable behavior: "She hasn't been a member of the Song family for the past five years."

Si Yuan, standing behind Jiang Wang, could clearly feel the tension in his body.

She looked up at his back; his broad shoulders covered everything, but the chill still seeped through the gaps.

She opened her mouth, wanting to ask him why he treated his adoptive mother this way, but the words were cut off when Jiang Wang suddenly turned around and looked at her.

His eyes held anger, anxiety, and a startling pain that made her instinctively shut her mouth.

Yu Qingfang knew Jiang Wang's methods; if she continued to linger, she would only suffer the consequences.

She glared at Jiang Wang, then looked at Si Yuan. Her lips moved, but in the end she didn't dare to say another word. She composed herself and turned to leave.

It seems Si Yuan has lost her memory, which is a good thing. As long as she still cares about Song Yan, she will definitely not sit idly by. Song Yan will definitely be saved.

——

The wind outside the ward carried a chill as it blew in, and Jiang Wang slowly released his grip on Si Yuan's hand.

When he turned around, he saw that Si Yuan's eyes were red, her eyelashes were wet and drooping, and her lips were pressed into a pale line.

My heart softened instantly, and the coldness and hostility I had just felt vanished.

He lowered his voice, even with a hint of barely perceptible panic, and reached out to touch her cheek, but stopped mid-air: "I'm sorry, I just..."

"Why can't you save my brother?" Si Yuan's voice trembled with tears as she interrupted him. "Why did you drive my mother away? You...you and I were only in that kind of relationship, how dare you treat her like this?"

Looking at the confusion and questioning in her eyes, Jiang Wang felt as if his heart was being stabbed again and again, the pain making it hard for him to breathe.

He took a deep breath and said, word by word, "She's lying to you. You two broke off your relationship five years ago."

Si Yuan was startled, staring blankly at him as if she hadn't understood.

"She is no longer the loving foster mother you remember."

Jiang Wang's voice deepened as he slowly uttered these heavy truths that caught Si Yuan off guard: "Over the years, she has hurt you many times. She approached you not for your sake, but for Song Yan's. This time is no different."

You're lying!

Si Yuan suddenly became agitated, raised her hand and pushed him away, "My mother isn't that kind of person, and neither is my brother! Why are you slandering them like this?"

"I didn't slander you." Jiang Wang didn't flinch, letting her push him away, the pain in his eyes growing stronger. "Song Yan wants you, but you hate him. He hurt you and sent you to the hospital, not because of any mistake he made for you. You don't need to blame yourself, and you don't need to care about him, or anyone in the Song family!"

Si Yuan was caught completely off guard, as if she had been struck on the head with a club.

She was able to let go of Song Yan after going through many painful and agonizing memories.

Jiang Wang's words now are tantamount to asking Si Yuan to suffer that pain again.

Seeing her distraught state, Jiang Wang felt even more pain in his heart than she did. He knew how difficult it would be for her to accept these facts again.

But he couldn't bear to see her deceived by Yu Qingfang and Song Yan again, nor could he bear to see her get hurt once more.

He stepped forward, carefully took her hand, and said in a gentle, almost humble voice, "It's okay. It's alright if you can't remember, it's alright if you don't want to believe it. Take your time, you'll remember eventually."

Si Yuan's hands were icy cold and trembling slightly.

She looked up at Jiang Wang, her eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.

At eighteen, she had absolutely no idea how to deal with these things.

At this moment, Jiang Wang was so unfamiliar that he frightened her, but the gentleness in his voice made her want to rely on him.

This was also the first time Si Yuan had seen Jiang Wang so anxious and insecure. In her memory, Jiang Wang had always been a carefree, flirtatious, and fickle person.

Seeing the sadness in his eyes, Si Yuan felt a little sad for some reason.

"I……"

Si Yuan opened her mouth, her voice trembling, the last syllable caught in her throat by a sob, "I can't tell anymore."

I can't tell who to believe.

She remained silent for a long time, so long that Jiang Wang thought she wouldn't speak again, before he heard her say softly, "I'm very tired, I want to rest."

Jiang Wang immediately nodded: "Okay, I'll help you back to lie down."

Si Yuan's ankle still hurt, and every step she took was painful, so Jiang Wang simply half-supported and half-carried her back to her hospital bed.

"Go to sleep." Jiang Wang sat on the chair by the bed, his gaze fixed on her. "I'll stay here and watch over you."

Si Yuan closed her eyes, but she didn't actually fall asleep.

She could clearly feel Jiang Wang's gaze, which made her uneasy.

After a long time, perhaps due to the effects of the medication, Si Yuan finally fell asleep.

But Jiang Wang didn't close his eyes that night.

The next morning, Si Yuan was still asleep. Jiang Wang tucked her in, gave a few instructions to Assistant Lin who was waiting outside, and then turned and left the hospital.

He didn't go back to the company; instead, he went to the detention center.

The iron door to the reception room was opened, and Song Yan was brought in. He was wearing detention center clothes, his hair was disheveled, and his face was pale and weak, completely unlike the gentle and refined young man he once was.

When he saw Jiang Wang, he was taken aback at first, then forced an ugly smile, his voice hoarse: "You've come."

Jiang Wang sat in the chair opposite him, and even though he saw him like this, he still felt unsatisfied.

"Let me see what you look like."

Song Yan's shoulders slumped. He didn't respond to Jiang Wang's words, but instead lowered his head and asked in a trembling voice, "How is Xiao Yuan?"

These past few days, he has been very worried and regretful.

Jiang Wang looked at his hypocritical act with a mocking glint in his eyes: "She's not good."

Song Yan's face instantly turned even uglier. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have..."

"You've done too many things you shouldn't have."

"You ruined her, you ruined both of us."
