Chapter 157 A Blessing Arrives from Heaven, There's Hope!

When the man spoke, his voice was gentle and refined, unlike those rough men. He was cultured and seemed like a learned man.

Shu Yan shook her head, her face still pale, and her lips were bloodless.

Seeing this, the woman immediately put down the kettle in her hand and carefully helped her sit up.

"Where are your family members? You don't seem to be in good health. Have you encountered any difficulties?"

The woman spoke softly and gently. Shu Yan's gaze lingered on the two men. They were dressed very well, the kind of clothes that only wealthy people in Shanghai would wear.

Her mind raced. These two men were clearly better off than the middle-aged couple; it might be an opportunity.

She immediately burst into tears: "I am a recent college graduate. My hometown is Shanghai. Something happened in my family, and I was going back to deal with it. I didn't expect to encounter human traffickers on my way back. Now I have no relatives left. I originally wanted to go to the army to stay with my cousin, but I have limited information and can't find her."

As she spoke, she looked at the two people with gratitude in her eyes, lifted the covers and was about to get up to thank them, "Thank you so much for helping me today, otherwise I would have been sleeping on the streets. Once I contact my cousin, I will definitely repay you both properly."

The woman took her hand, her eyes filled with a gentle smile. "You're still weak, so don't be so formal with us. My brother and I saw you by chance; it's fate, really. You must be more careful when you're traveling alone. By the way, I noticed your clothes don't fit you very well. We're about the same size, so I took the liberty of bringing two sets of my clothes. Please don't mind."

Shu Yan looked down. She was still wearing her hospital gown. Although the two sets of clothes on the table were worn by women, they were almost identical to her previous clothes in terms of material and style.

She had regained her beauty, and upon hearing that the two were not a couple, she became even more excited.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you. You and your brother must be very good people. It's just that I have nowhere to go right now, and I haven't been able to contact any relatives. I'm afraid I'll have to sleep on the streets again after I'm discharged from the hospital."

Her voice was low, and she would occasionally glance at the man next to her.

She always knew where her strengths lay. No one can resist a woman's beauty, especially when she is down on her luck, which is when a man's protective instincts are most easily aroused.

The man's long legs were crossed, and he exuded an indescribable air of nobility. Although she didn't know their identities, they were certainly not from ordinary families. Shu Yan waited for them to be the first to say that they wanted to take her in.

The result did not disappoint her.

The man's eyes were smiling. "Right now, the most important thing is for you to recover. As for settling down, we'll make plans once you're feeling better. If you don't mind, we'll help you figure something out then."

Both of them spoke very gently, and Shu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, there's always a way out.

She gratefully grasped the woman's hand, "You are my benefactors. What I've been through these past few days has made me feel like the worst person in the world. Don't worry, I will definitely not cause you any trouble. I will leave as soon as I contact my cousin."

The ward still smelled of disinfectant, but Shu Yan, who had finally found a home, was still immersed in joy.

If Xie Zhiyan is already a certainty of being impossible, then she has no choice but to make more plans for herself.

The man in front of her was a good choice; she knew that as long as she had beauty, there was still a chance.

As long as she holds onto this man tightly for now, she will eventually be able to escape her current misery.

She thought of Cheng Shaoyuan again, hoping that the idiot wouldn't suddenly appear and disrupt her plans.

“You don’t need to be in such a hurry. My brother and I just happened to be passing by. Even if it were someone else, we couldn’t just sit idly by. The doctor said you need to nourish yourself properly recently, so I bought some food for you. Please don’t be shy.”

Shu Yan was so touched by the two people's thoughtfulness that she was speechless. The woman bought Beijing's specialty pastries and the most famous dishes.

Even the food was of extravagant quality, which secretly pleased Shu Yan.

She used to live a life of luxury, but these past two days of wandering and hardship have given her a real taste of it all.

She was born to enjoy a life of luxury and absolutely could not endure even the slightest hardship.

"Then you should rest well first. We'll come to see you again tomorrow when we have time. Also, I've left an address. I'm from the Su family. My name is Su Jinxiu, and my older brother's name is Su Jinshu. If you have any difficulties, you can come and find me."

Shu Yan glanced at the head of the bed and, sure enough, saw a piece of white paper with delicate handwriting on it.

She glanced shyly at Su Jinshu, then met Su Jinxiu's gaze. "Thank you both."

Su Jinxiu covered her with the blanket, gave her a few simple instructions, and then the two of them came out of her hospital room together.

Once they reached the corridor, Su Jinxiu and Su Jinshu exchanged a glance.

"It seems we're thinking the same thing."

Su Jinshu said calmly, "She needs help right now. When people are most vulnerable, they will feel dependent on a benefactor who suddenly appears. If we help her now, she will be more dedicated to whatever we ask her to do in the future."

Favors are always the hardest to repay.

Su Jinxiu stood up, a smile playing on her lips but not reaching her eyes.

"This person doesn't seem to be very bright, but she's a bit cunning. That alone is enough. People like her are the easiest to control, and her image is just right. Hopefully, she'll be a pawn that will benefit us."

They had been looking for the right person and were just trying their luck today. They never expected that their search would be so fruitless, but the person they were looking for would come to them so easily.

"She said she has a cousin who works in the military? That's quite interesting. You could try to help her contact that cousin. If it actually works out, it would be beneficial for both of us."

Su Jinxiu walked gracefully behind, "I don't have any problems, but she just said that the information is insufficient. If we rashly intervene and expose something, wouldn't that be a loss?"

Although Shu Yan is a good player, it's not time for her to be on the chessboard yet.

This person isn't very bright, but even the most cunning and scheming person can't match the quick wit of a fool.

Over the years, they have learned some lessons.

Su Jinshu put her hands behind her back and said, "She's not very smart. You should be able to get the information out of her first. You don't need me to teach you how to do the rest, right?"

Su Jinxiu nodded, "Understood."

Su Jinshu stopped and glanced in the direction of the ward again. "I'll come see her again tomorrow. As long as she's not discharged, I'll insist on coming every day. She's got the will to take the bait."
