Chapter 248 - 248 Who Would Believe Him?
248 Who Would Believe Him?
After an unknown amount of time, Sang Qianqian slowly stood up and walked out of the parking lot with red and swollen eyes.
Ruan Cheng was dead, and the most difficult time had passed. However, she did not expect that she and Shen Hanyu would end up like this.
She walked aimlessly along the sidewalk, as Shen Hanyu’s words kept repeating in her mind.
She could not help but want to cry again.
She didn’t notice that a black car was silently following her from a short distance by the side of the road.
The car followed her until she got into a taxi and arrived at the small courtyard where she stayed. She got out of the car and entered the courtyard.
Afterward, the black car turned around and left.
Sang Qianqian walked through the courtyard and up the steps, but she had yet to enter the house.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Director Xue.
“I’m on a business trip to Beijing. I wanted to say that I’ll visit you tomorrow, but I changed my mind. Have you had dinner? If you haven’t eaten, let’s find a place to gather right now?”
Hearing Sang Qianqian’s voice, Director Xue had mixed feelings.
As soon as he arrived in Beijing that night, he rushed straight to the hospital, but he did not expect to find Sang Qianqian awake.
By the time Sang Qianqian arrived at the restaurant Director Xue had picked by taxi, he had already ordered the dishes.
As soon as they met, Director Xue could tell that she was not in a good mood. “You just woke up, so you should be happy. Why are your eyes so red? Did you cry?”
Director Xue was about the same age as Sang Qianqian’s father and had always taken good care of her. He was her elder, her teacher, and also an easy-going and kind person.
However, the difference between him and her dad was that she could tell Director Xue the things that she couldn’t tell her father.
“The person I like, he said he doesn’t like me.”
Sang Qianqian pretended to be relaxed. “I really couldn’t hold it in, so I cried.”
“Who is so blind to not even like Qianqian?”
Director Xue slammed the table and pretended to be filled with righteous indignation. “Does he want to go to heaven? Even the heavens won’t be able to find a fairy-like girl like our Qianqian!”
Even though Sang Qianqian was extremely upset, she was still amused by Director Xue.
She beckoned the waiter to bring a bottle of red wine over before answering Director Xue’s question. “You’ve seen that person before. It’s not his fault. He’s a very kind person, I’m the one who has brought him a lot of trouble.”
Director Xue tried to stop her from drinking. “I thought you didn’t drink? I’ve never seen you drink during the gatherings in the past.”
“Red wine is fine. It can also help with beauty treatments.”
Sang Qianqian said, “Besides, I haven’t seen you in such a long time. Drinking a little wine can also be considered a celebration of my recovery.”
Director Xue hesitated for a moment but did not insist. “Alright then, take it easy.”
He went back to the previous topic. “The person you were talking about, could it be President Shen? I’ve long guessed that your relationship with him isn’t ordinary. However, it’s impossible for him to say he doesn’t like you. It was probably just words of anger. Did you guys have a fight?”
“We didn’t quarrel, but he might really be angry with me.”
Sang Qianqian noticed the main point in Director Xue’s words and asked curiously, “By the way, you’re not that close to him. But why don’t you believe that he doesn’t like me?”
“I only believe what I see with my own eyes.”
Director Xue had an expression that said, “I’ve been through this before, so there’s nothing I don’t understand. When you were in a coma, President Shen was by your side, and he looked as if he was more heartbroken than anything. If the doctor had told him that he could exchange his life for yours, I’m afraid he would have agreed immediately.”
When Sang Qianqian was unconscious that day, Director Xue had come to the capital to visit her twice.
At that time, Sang Qianqian had disappeared for no reason and had not been found for a few months. Director Xue had mistakenly thought that something had happened to her.
That was until she saw the news of Xie Shi’an’s wedding on the internet. He saw the wedding photos of Xie Shi’an and the bride online. The side profile of the bride looked very much like Sang Qianqian.
Director Xue tried to contact Xie Shi’an. When he asked him if the bride was Sang Qianqian, Xie Shi’an did not deny it. Only then did Director Xue know that Sang Qianqian was still alive.
He called Sang Qianqian’s phone several times but could not get through. Later, he called Xie Shi’an, but he did not pick up either.
Director Xue did not give up and continued to call Sang Qianqian’s number from time to time. He did not expect that the call would really get through one day.
The person who picked up the phone was Shen Hanyu. He said that Sang Qianqian had been poisoned and was unconscious.
At that time, Director Xue was shocked and immediately rushed to Beijing.
Then, he saw Shen Hanyu standing by Sang Qianqian’s bed, looking extremely haggard and exhausted.
Director Xue had been a doctor for many years and had seen countless people’s reactions to the death of their family or loved ones. However, none of them had touched him as much as Shen Hanyu did.
