Chapter 251 - Alone For a Long Time
Chapter 251 Alone For a Long Time
Su Yan replied, “Actually, it was just that when I was waiting for the bus, the six people the Lin family hired tried to find trouble with me, but they were all beaten down by me. Then, I went to the Lin family with a stick and smashed quite a lot of Lin Zhiqiang’s antiques collection. The conservative estimate is around 200 million yuan.”
Tang Yitong was shocked!
Looking at the indifferent words on the phone, she felt mind-blown. Who was this best friend of hers? Why did she go to someone to smash things on the second night of the Lunar New Year?
After a long while, Tang Yitong came back to her senses. “Then you’re not injured, right?”
She didn’t doubt Su Yan’s words in the slightest, because in her impression, Su Yan had never lied. Moreover, everything that came out of her mouth was based on solid evidence.
However, the more this was the case, the more worried she was about Su Yan’s safety. Last night, Chai Xingyu had told her quite a number of “glorious deeds” about the Lin family in Feng City. She knew that the Lin family was extremely powerful in Feng City, and they also had quite a number of thugs under them, yet Su Yan had smashed their home. How could the Lin family pretend that nothing had happened?
After thinking for a moment, Su Yan answered truthfully, “I’m fine. Last night, I didn’t go alone either. Wei Zhou was also there.”
After finding out that Wei Zhou was there, Tang Yitong’s gossipy flame flared up again. “What? Wei Zhou, that b*stard, also went? Could it be that the two of you got back together?”
Su Yan was angered by her words and laughed. “What do you mean by got back together? Stop spouting nonsense.”
Tang Yitong continued, “If the two of you haven’t gotten back together, why would he accompany you to the Lin family’s residence to smash things instead of returning to his family during the New Year?”
Su Yan took a deep breath. “Would you believe me if I said that it was just a coincidence?”
Tang Yitong replied, “Then tell me something that I can believe!”
Su Yan bit her lips and her slender fingers pressed on the phone screen quickly. She recounted what she had done yesterday, how she found out that Wei Zhou had followed her, and how Wei Zhou had sent her home with gifts.
Seeing that she had finished, Tang Yitong lost her composure, and she cursed with a voice message, “F*ck! Isn’t that b*stard Wei Zhou a little too thick-skinned? Yan Yan, let me tell you something. He’s shameless, but you can’t be shameless. In the future, stay far away from him. It wasn’t easy for you to escape from the sea of bitterness. You must not be tricked by him again!”
Su Yan raised her eyebrows and replied, “Alright, I got it. Hurry up and get on the plane.”
Tang Yitong didn’t reply to her. She reckoned that the plane was about to take off, so she turned off her phone. Although she could already turn on her phone on the plane, they advised passengers to keep their phones turned off, because this was the safest way.
Su Yan glanced at her phone and hesitated for a moment. Then, she called her secretary, Wang Xiaoxue. The spring festival was about to end, so it was time for her to return to Jiangdu.
The call went through and Wang Xiaoxue’s respectful voice sounded, “President Su, what are your orders?”
Su Yan said gently, “Help me book a plane ticket. Thank you for your hard work.”
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
The spring festival holiday had ended and many people had started working. All the major shopping malls had opened their doors again. Before leaving, Su Yan specially drove around Feng City for a few rounds to reminisce about the familiar places in the past.
The Old City District, Hat Alley. This was where Su Yan used to live when she was a child. Later, her parents saved money to buy the current apartment and moved away. It was a pity that the alley, which used to connected to paths in all directions, had long been bulldozed and rebuilt. It was now called Feng City Development District, and a large glass factory had been built on the former site of her home.
Perhaps because Feng City wanted to leave a good impression on her, the temperature had risen over the past few days. The weather was also very good. Su Yan returned to the Central District from the Development District. After shopping for an entire morning, she was already hungry, so she found a random restaurant by the roadside and went in.
The shop wasn’t big and there were only four tables in it. The owner was a middle-aged couple. Su Yan ordered a plate of fried rice and a bottle of drink, then started eating. She used to eat like this when she was in school.
After the meal, Su Yan took a walk along the only artificial canal in Feng City. When she was in the sixth grade in primary school, her father would bring her here every Sunday to play. Every time, he would fly a kite with her or gather wild grass and flowers by the roadside to make a garland to wear on her head.
Looking at the weeping willows on both sides of the artificial canal, Su Yan couldn’t help but feel a little absent-minded. The scenes of her childhood kept flashing in front of her eyes, as if everything had just happened yesterday. She only lamented that the weeping willows were still there, but her parents had already disappeared.
It had been more than ten years since her father had brought her here to play. Only then did Su Yan realize that she had been alone for a long time.
