Chapter 481 - They had gone (1/2)

“Please!” Shen Yan said with a smile.

Li Mei looked into his eyes, “Did you love Miss Zeng?”

“What?” Shen Yan didn’t answer her because he didn’t expect such a question.

“Let me put it in another way. Have you ever thought of marrying her? Before you met Xia Yu.” Li Mei changed the way she asked.

Shen Yan smiled, “Will you believe me if I say never?” Shen Yan thought such a question was meaningless.

Li Mei also felt that her question was meaningless. Before yesterday, she used to suspect Shen Yan’s motivation because he was the second Mister of Shen Family after all.

But now she chose to believe Shen Yan.

After staying on one night at Shen Yan’s villa, Xia Yu felt much better. When she opened her eyes in the morning, it was about eight o’clock and she seldom got up so late.

Xia Yu put on clothes and walked out of her room. She found Aunt Ma had prepared breakfast for her already. “Miss Xia, I’ve cooked some porridge and two egg pasta for you.”

“Thanks, Aunt Ma.” Xia Yu sat down and started to eat.

“Miss Xia, Young Master Yan has called to learn about your health condition and tell me that he has something important to do. Perhaps, he won’t come back today. You can stay here and have a good rest.” Aunt Ma informed her of what Shen Yan said.

Xia Yu nodded, “I’m OK now. Tell him that I need to work if he calls back later.” She knew her condition scared him yesterday.

But Xia Yu was not the one to blame on, but those horrible patients in the rehabilitation center. Zhou Yan said she was brave enough, compared with a young nurse who fainted away on the first day on duty. When the nurse woke up later, the first sentence she said was that she would never work there anymore.

Though Xia Yu thought she was brave, the fact was that her reactions yesterday were not better than that nurse. Otherwise, why should Shen Yan be so desperate to take her back home?

“Miss Xia, though work is important, you also need to look after yourself. You’d better take Young Master Yan’s kind suggestion.” Seeing Xia Yu was determined to work, Aunt Ma persuaded her sincerely.

The doorbell happened to ring at this moment. Aunt Ma went to open the door.

“Yo, you two do make peace. I have thought Shen Yan boasted of it.” First Madame said while coming in. She wore an ambiguous smile and said to Xia Yu, “Don’t you have relationship mysophobia? How could you forgive Shen Yan who had a love affair with his sister-in-law?”

Xia Yu put down the bowl in her hand. She was not in the mood to eat anymore.

If she didn’t know about the woman in front of her, she would never expect she was the First Madame of Shen Family. “Aunt Ma, I’ll go to work.”

“All right. If any, call me.” Under such circumstances, Aunt Ma gave up urging Xia Yu to stay. As First Madame was here, Xia Yu might be provoked and it would make her health condition worse.

Xia Yu paid no attention to First Madame and left, which made First Madame feel angry. However, she could do nothing to Xia Yu, so she vented her anger on Aunt Ma before she left.

About half an hour late after Xia Yu went to Ruyi Tower, Zhou Yan made a phone call to her because he was still worried about her.

“I’m fine now.” Xia Yu felt embarrassed and was reluctant to admit in front of Zhou Yan that she had remained in terror about that experience.

“Since you have gone back to work, I gather you’re fine now and feel happy for you. Otherwise, Shen Yan might tear my clinic apart.” Zhou Yan was happy that he didn’t recognize any terror in her voice.

“You are overreacting.” Upon recalling Shen Yan’s expression yesterday, Xia Yu thought it was very likely for him to do so. But Aunt Jiang’s misery did make her feel shocked, “Zhou Yan, can you think of any way to help Aunt Jiang recover soon?”

“I am going to tell you about it. I’ve discussed with the management level of the rehabilitation center and they think Aunt Jiang could be cured to some extent. So, I’ve decided to go to Nihon and invite my teacher to help us.” Though Zhou Yan might need to spend a lot of money, he was determined to cure Aunt Jiang.

“Great! When will you set off?” Xia Yu wished Zhou Yan could invite his teacher at once so that Aunt Jiang could recover as soon as possible. In that case, Aunt Jiang would suffer less and then they could find out the truth earlier.

“I’ve booked the plane ticket and I’m leaving. By the way, when I chatted in the rehabilitation center, I overheard something useful. They said Aunt Jiang’s families once came to see her and took away some of her belongings. There might be something important to us, so can you go to Village Jiang to investigate when you’re free?” Zhou Yan had planned to go there in person, but he had to invite his teacher while Wanru was busy after adopting Cheng Xi. Thus, only Xia Yu could do this favor.

“OK, I’ll change my schedule and go there tomorrow.” Xia Yu agreed without hesitation.

On the next day, Xia Yu went to Village Jiang and she told Shen Yan about this visit before she set off. Seeing this visit was crucial, Shen Yan had wanted to go with her, but he had to stay to deal with Zeng Family’s affairs. At last, he agreed to let her go there and made her promise to look after herself.
