Chapter 146 Spit Up Blood... (1/2)
Shen Xinglan had thought of many ways that they would meet again, he even rehearsed saying sorry to A Miao in his mind countless times. He pondered over every tone, hoping that he could make A Miao feel his joy and regret.
”Do I know you, Director Shen?”
That light sentence disrupted his script.
”A Miao...” Shen Xinglan murmured, ”What did you say?”
He even thought he had misheard her.
”You used to be male-female friends.” Jiang Quanyu looked at Shen Xinglan then turned his head to A Miao.
A Miao was somewhat surprised and covered her mouth. ”It was you...” She suddenly looked around. ”Quanyu said that we broke up because your first love came back. Why don't I see her?”
”So... that's what he said.” Shen Xinglan's face was expressionless, and the look in his eyes became dark.
Standing behind him, Shen I was so anxious that he could not help saying, ”Miss! Why don't you remember Boss?”
”Sorry!” A Miao apologized to him and smiled. ”Quanyu said that I had a traffic accident and there are some things that I don't remember.”
Shen Xinglan stared at her. ”Some things you don't remember? Do you remember everything except me... ”
”How do you know?” A Miao sighed with a smile. ”I also think it's very strange that I don't remember you.” She turned to look at Jiang Quanyu. ”I think that you hurt me, but Quanyu only said that you broke up with me for your first love.”
Jiang Quanyu smiled and said, ”Please go back to the car first. Director Shen and I will say a few words.”
”A Miao!” Shen Xinglan suddenly went forward to grab A Miao's wrist. ”Don't go... Listen to me...”
”Shen Xinglan.” Jiang Quanyu approached him and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, ”Do you want to tell her that you shot her twice for the sake of another woman, even making her lose her ability to be a mother?”
A Miao frowned and pulled away from Shen Xinglan's hand. But she suddenly saw him standing there, his arms hanging in the air, forgetting to take them back.
”I'll wait for you in the car.” She turned and left.
The moment she turned around, Shen Xinglan staggered back two steps. If Shen I had not held him up, he would not have even been able to stand firmly.
”What did you just say?” This trembling voice was a tone that Shen Xinglan had never used. He stared at Jiang Quanyu as if it could prove that what he just said was a lie.
Jiang Quanyu sighed. ”I'm not lying to you. The doctors are unsure whether A Miao will be able to be a mother. There was a gunshot wound to her uterus.”
”I don't believe you.” Shen Xinglan steadied his mental state. ”Three years ago, you were unable to stop me. Now that A Miao is back, you still won't be able to stop me.”
”I don't care.” Jiang Quanyu said lightly, ”Why do you think she remembers everyone else, but she doesn't remember you?”
Shen Xinglan clenched his fist and hid the painful look in his eyes. ”I'll make her remember.”
”Remember?” Jiang Quanyu looked at him sarcastically. ”As I said just now, you'll have to make A Miao remember that the one she loved went to the hospital with another woman and left her behind—remember that you brought her all her pain.
”Shen Xinglan, people can't be so selfish. Do you know how long it took A Miao to stop having nightmares and how long it took her to forget the painful feeling of getting shot and being unconscious?”
His eyes flashed. ”I don't know if you still remember what I said—if you let A Miao get hurt again, I will take her away.” Jiang Quanyu slowly turned around. ”Shen Xinglan... you've lost her.”
Jiang Quanyu left. As Shen I watched A Miao sitting in her car, the car roared off.
”Boss...”
For a long time, Shen Xinglan did not move. His eyes were empty, his dark eye sockets seemed to have turned grey, and he looked very pale.
Shen I was so frightened that he did not even dare to call him.
”Brother Xinglan!” Shanshan ran in from the outside. ”Why don't you get in the car?” She did not pay attention to the expression of Shen I, and found that Shen Xinglan did not avoid her like normal. She extended her hands in surprise. She was about to come into contact with Shen Xinglan when he suddenly leaned on her.
Shanshan hugged him happily. ”Brother Xinglan, you...”
Before the words were finished, she felt his body quiver.
”Poof...” Shen Xinglan spat up a big mouthful of blood and then fell to the ground.
”Boss!!”
Le Yi sighed. ”It's okay, let him sleep. He'll be fine when he wakes up.”
”But he spat up blood.” Shen I was extremely nervous. ”How could he be alright?”
”It's just a panic attack.” Le Yi gave him a blank look. ”What exactly stimulated him?”
Shanshan lay prone on the bed and cried. ”Boo-hoo... I saw sister A Miao. She was with that Jiang Hua.”
Le Yi motioned at Shen II with his eyes, who nodded. ”Shanshan, I'll take you back. Boss is not here. There are still many things to do in the company.”
”Yes, I want to look after the company for Brother Xinglan!” Shanshan wiped away her tears and said to Shen I, ”Please let me know when he wakes up.”
Only after the two of them left did Shen I tell the story of today.
”Amnesia?” Le Yi touched his chin. ”No...” He wanted to think. ”After so many visits to the island, did you find that A Miao had amnesia?”
Shen I shook his head. ”I never went there before, and even though Boss went there every day, he still looked at her from a distance. How could he tell if she had amnesia?”
”Didn't you say you bought off the aunt?” Le Yi, seeing that Shen I was completely bewildered, had to wave his hand at him. ”Forget it, wait till he wakes up.”
Shen Xinglan was unconscious for a short time then woke up at night.
