Chapter 1345 - Beating Him at His Own Game (1/2)
Si Yiyan was the one who was most worried about Wen Xinya’s injury. Apart from applying ice and heat packs onto her ankle, he even specially hired a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner to perform acupuncture on her injury every day. He even helped her prepare Traditional Chinese Medicine herbal foot baths every night, which would help with boosting blood circulation.
Although Wen Xinya’s ankle sprain had brought about a great deal of inconvenience to her daily life, she did not have too many problems because she had Si Yiyan around to take care of her. Besides, she did not have to go to school for lessons and hence, could stay at home to read up on some books and do her self-learning. She would also sketch some jewelry designs whenever she got an inspiration. Hence, life was rather vibrant for her.
While massaging Wen Xinya’s ankle, Si Yiyan asked, “Does it still hurt?”
He was extremely gentle with his movement and continuously observed her expression, for fear that he would end up hurting her.
Si Yiyan did not ask her about Xu Zhenyu’s visit because he respected Wen Xinya’s personal space and he would cause a strain on their relationship if he were to invade her privacy. As long as everything was in his control, he would be able to turn a blind eye.
Wen Xinya relaxed the muscles on her forehead and answered, “It’s a little sore, but it doesn’t hurt much anymore.”
The soreness in her ankle was accompanied by some pain, though the pain was not exactly excruciating. The reason behind her rapid recovery was Si Yiyan’s meticulous care and concern. Even Old Mr. Mo, who had a bad impression of Si Yiyan, was pleased with the care that he gave her and hence, turned a blind eye to the fact that Si Yiyan kept going to her room to see her.
Si Yiyan smiled and said, “Your ankle will heal completely in another few days.”
Si Yiyan could not help but heave a sigh of relief. A few days ago, he felt an immense heartache after hearing her lament about the pain in her ankle. He wished that he could take the pain in her place. Every single day, he would massage her ankle and feel sympathetic towards her whenever he saw the frown on her pale face and her rosy lips that she was biting.
Wen Xinya flipped through the newspapers to see that there were plenty of reports about the Wen Corporation’s jewelry exhibition, most of which revolved around the heirloom sales strategy of her mother’s designs. Of course, the Winter series jewelry designs that she had produced for the Wen Corporation had also garnered lots of attention from everyone who was looking forward to seeing her designs. It was said that her products would be launched on New Year’s Day.
Wen Xinya soon lost interest in the newspapers. She said, “Seems like Ning Shuqian and Wen Haowen are refusing to give up. They’re definitely planning to use the chandelier incident to stir more controversial news and ruin the Wen Corporation’s reputation so as to stop me from launching my own brand and hamper the heirloom sales strategy.”
From today onwards, the tabloids and magazines seemed to have released even more reports about the jewelry exhibition and wrote about the chandelier incident in detail using rich vocabulary and exaggerated literary styles. They defined it to be a dangerous incident and expressed their qualms.
She could tell that there were two points to the writer’s qualms.
Firstly, the chandelier incident was extremely dangerous and yet, no one else was injured except Wen Xinya. Could it be that the Wen Corporation was intentionally trying to bring more attention to the jewelry exhibition?
Secondly, the jewelry exhibition was held by the Wen Corporation. Since such a mishap had happened, could it be because of the poor arrangements of the Wen Corporation?
