Chapter 290

Author: Qin Ruoxu MACHINE TRANSLATION

The girl who was sitting in the dim light closed the book in her hand when she heard the man say the word Lin Yan from his thin lips.

Almost in the next second, she raised her head and moved her clear eyes, which were placed on the romance novel, to the Bookshelf that was leaning against the dark-colored pear tree with its broad back It was as if he was enduring some intense pain.

He was facing her sideways. His exquisite side profile and the scattered light shadows in the corner made him look even more valiant, like a God descending from the sky, as elegant as a painting.

The study was very quiet, so the girl could easily identify the man on the phone to be Fu Yihuai.

“It’s just some fragments, not many. ”

Ji Yunshen lowered his head, and his deep and torch-like eyes fell on the black cotton slippers on his feet. “It’s so difficult to make him accept that the woman is dead, or disappear in a dead way. ”

Fu Yihuai seemed to be silent for a few seconds before he said in a low voice, “Lin Yan has been pestering my brother since she was in her teens. Even if she doesn’t have any feelings, it’s impossible for those things to disappear with her amnesia. Perhaps, I overestimated him. ”

Ji Yunshen naturally understood what Fu Yihuai meant by overestimating him.

Perhaps, they really overestimated old Fu and underestimated Lin Yan.

That woman’s bright and beautiful strength had probably penetrated through stone with every drop of water. It penetrated into old Fu’s internal organs, limbs, bones, and even every nerve and cell.

“If he wants to come, come. But when you come, you must see if there are any dogs following you. ”

“okay, I got it. ”

Ji Yunshen responded with an “okay” and then reached out to cut off the phone call.

Qiao man sat on the low couch beside the study bed and did not move. Seeing that he had ended the call, she asked in a gentle voice, “are Fu Qingshan and Fu Yihuai coming? ”

“Yes! ”

Ji Yunshen nodded very slowly. Seeing that she seemed to have many questions to ask, he reached out a big hand and beckoned in her direction. “Come here. ”

Qiao man hesitated for two seconds before she placed the book on her lap and moved it to the low couch beside her. Then, she moved her curled up legs down from the couch, put on her slippers, and walked over to him in small steps.

“then… why are they coming? ”

The man did not say a word. He stood with his waist bent, and his handsome face was covered with fine beads of sweat. Although most of his body was hidden in the dim light, she could still feel the unbearable pain from his entire body.

Just now, she thought that he had a stomachache and wanted to ask him something, but because he mentioned Yan ‘er, her spirit suddenly tensed up and she ignored him.

Qiao man could not see his expression clearly in the shadow of his lowered head. She could only tilt her head and look around his body, hoping to observe something unusual. “You… what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? ”

“I thought that even a passerby, a B B C D, is more important than me in your eyes now! ”

The extremely sour words made her feel a little resentful.

The man raised his deep eyes, like an endless sea, dark and turbulent.

Qiao man followed his movements and slowly straightened her back. Then she said in a deep and manly tone, “Ji Yunshen, there’s a very good sentence on Weibo, let me tell you about it now. ”

The man’s exquisite and beautiful eyebrows raised. Through the layers of dim light and shadows, he looked at her faintly and coldly. He did not say anything, as if he was ready to listen to her.

Qiao man put her arms around his neck and breathed on his exquisite facial features “That’s what they say. They say, don’t judge whether someone loves you from certain details, because not everyone can love you according to your way. ”

“You love me? ”

Qiao Man’s face was flushed, but it soon disappeared.

“Mr. Ji, don’t you listen to the main point? ”

“Is my analysis wrong? ”

The man followed her actions and lowered his head. His handsome face was getting closer and closer to her Red Lips. He did not stop until they were about to touch. His dark eyes stared at her without blinking “Doesn’t that mean that I shouldn’t judge whether you love me from certain details, but from… ”

His large hand that was hanging by his side slowly lifted up and placed it on her chest.”… Heart.”

Qiao man was shocked by his sudden action. She wanted to retreat, but the man’s large hand wrapped around her waist and back. The two of them, who had just pulled some distance away from each other, instantly pressed tightly against each other.

The man did these actions almost subconsciously until the girl’s soft little body fell into his arms and bumped into his ribs, which were already in excruciating pain. He hugged her even tighter and his entire body tensed up until it became stiff Perhaps the pain was really extreme, he raised his head and let out a muffled Groan that he tried his best to endure but could not hold back anymore.

Qiao man’s body also stiffened, and she did not move, because her entire head was buried in his broad and tight embrace, and she was forced to let out a muffled voice. “What’s wrong? Are you hurt anywhere? ”

“Yes! ”

The man only let out a soft “yes” , and did not say anything. She could even feel his embrace, and even his entire body, trembling because of the pain.

“Say something! ”

Qiao man wanted to move, but the sound of him crashing down on her head made her freeze again. “Don’t move. ”

The study room was very quiet. Only the light source in the corner was emitting an orange glow. After a very, very long time, until the girl’s body had already begun to stiffen and become Numb, the man finally let go of her.

“Help me back to the bedroom. There was a car accident when I just arrived. I think my ribs are broken. ”

Even if Qiao man did not have any broken ribs, she could still imagine the piercing pain. How did he only let out two muffled groans?

She did not dare to make any big movements. She only stretched out her hand to support his arm. However, the moment she stretched out her hand, the man’s large hand wrapped around her shoulder. Almost a third of the weight of her body was pressed down on her.

Qiao man’s beautiful eyebrows were almost scrunched together. She had just taken two steps when she stopped. “Ji Yunshen, I can’t support you. You’re too heavy. ”

“hold on for a while. I’m in too much pain. ”

In the end, she still helped the man back to his room.

The moment he laid on the bed, the weight on his body disappeared, causing her to let out a heavy breath.

The man lay on his side, and almost the moment he laid down, he closed his eyes. “Come and lie with me for a while. ”

“lie down by yourself. I haven’t finished reading my novel yet, and I’m in a hurry to read the ending… ”

“Then bring the book over and lie in my arms to read it. ”

Qiao man had already figured out the routine that she should use when she was with him in the past three hundred days. For example, right now, there was no point in arguing with him, and they might even make each other unhappy. When he came here, he would only stay for one night at most There was really no need to find trouble over such a small matter.

“Alright, I got it. I’ll bring it over to read it. ”

Only then did the man let out a satisfied grunt. His slightly furrowed brows also gradually relaxed.

Qiao man returned to the study room and held the novel on the low couch in her hand. She turned off the light source in the corner before she lifted her feet and walked out.

Auntie Zhao had only put on her clothes because she heard the sound of a car engine outside the window and footsteps landing on the stairs. She hurriedly came up from downstairs to check. Coincidentally, she bumped into Qiao man who had just walked out of the study room. She walked over quickly and asked anxiously, “Madam, are you alright? ” “Madam, are you alright? I heard the sound of a car engine outside and footsteps on the stairs, so I quickly came up to take a look. It’s so late, it should be Mr. JI, right? ”

“Yes, it’s him. ”

Auntie Zhao then heaved a sigh of relief. “Oh, it’s good that it’s Mr. Ji, then I’ll go to bed first. Good night, Madam. ”

“Good night. ”

The sound of Auntie Zhao’s footsteps gradually faded away until her figure disappeared at the corner of the stairs. Only then did she reach out to close the study door and walk towards the bedroom diagonally across.

Just as she walked in, before she could close the door, she heard the man on the bed say, “turn off the main light source, light the wall lamp, and then go get me a bottle of wine. ”

She knew that it would take Fu Yihuai four to five hours to rush from Lin city to this villa built deep in the mountains. She also knew that alcohol could temporarily numb the pain, but he was injured. Drinking alcohol should actually affect the recovery of the fracture.

However, she did not say anything. She still went to the wine cabinet in the study and brought him a bottle of wine.

She didn’t pick anything and just casually took out a bottle. She didn’t expect it to be brandy.

“This wine seems to be too strong. Let me go and get you another bottle. ”

“It’s okay. I won’t die. ”

The man sat up with his legs propped up. His face was so painful that it was almost twisted. He swiftly opened the bottle’s seal, then lifted it up and directly poured it into his mouth.

He only stopped after he drank about half of the bottle.

Everything around him had become blurry. Even the girl’s figure had become overlapping shadows. It was hard to tell which was the real her.

“Come and sleep with me for a while. ”

“Okay! ”

The girl held the book in his arms. Because his ribs were broken, he curled up very much, but he still put one hand under her neck and the other on her waist. From the beginning to the end, he didn’t make a sound, and she didn’t ask again.

Accompanied by the girl’s light sucking sound and the occasional rustling sound of flipping the book, he gradually fell into a deep sleep.

…

When Fu Yihuai drove to the villa in the mountain, it was already close to five o’clock in the morning.

The dark and inky sky had already turned into a deep inky blue.

The heavy snow was still falling, scattering down one after another, forming a thick layer of snow on the ground.

A total of five people got out of the two cars. In the front were Fu Yihuai and Fu Qingshan, followed by an assistant doctor, a nurse, and an anesthesiologist.

The leather shoes of a few people stepped on the thick snow, making a crisp rustling sound.

Qiao man did not sleep deeply. She opened her eyes almost as soon as the sound of a car engine came from outside the window.

The man behind her obviously did not fall into a deep sleep because of the bottle of wine. Seeing the girl in his arms move slightly, he said in a low voice, “I’ll go to the other bedroom for treatment. You continue to sleep for a while. There’s still a long time before daybreak. ”

“Okay! ”

The girl did not even show any intention of going to take a look. She was so cold that it was as if a stranger was going to have a surgery.

The man pulled his arm out from under her neck. His voice seemed to have been dyed with the sound of the night. “Man man, I can wait for you. I can wait as long as you want. ”

If she could not let go of the past and forgive him, he could wait, unconditionally.

As long as she could stay. No matter how cold she was to him, no matter how hard she looked at him, he would be willing.

The man endured the pain and got off the bed with a rustling sound. He had only taken two steps when he heard the girl’s faint voice slowly coming from behind him. She said, “Ji Yunshen, I don’t blame you. It’s just that you shouldn’t make things too difficult for yourself. ”

“As long as you don’t find it difficult. ”

With that, the man strode out with his long legs.

The chaotic footsteps downstairs were getting closer and closer. It seemed that Fu Qingshan had said something first, and then the man responded with something. She couldn’t actually hear it clearly. She could only feel all the sounds whistling in her ears, and her eyes were hurting.

He said that as long as you don’t find it difficult, it would be fine. But how could she not find it difficult?

…

A few tall men entered the second bedroom one after another. Ji Yunshen walked in front and said to Fu Yihuai, who was behind him, “go wait in the study with them. I’ll have a word with old FU. ”

“Okay! ”

Fu Yihuai and the men behind him placed the medical instruments in their hands and the medicine needed for the surgery on the SOFA. Without saying anything, they turned around and walked out.

Because Ji Yunshen was standing straight, he would feel an even more piercing pain. Therefore, after the men went out, he leaned against the wall and took out a cigarette box from his pocket. He took out two cigarettes, lit one in his mouth, and handed the other to Fu Qingshan, who was two steps away.

The green and white smoke lingered, and his facial features were somewhat blurred. After more than ten seconds, Ji Yunshen slowly said, “how has Gu Dongfeng been under your command for more than half a month? Has He gone to complain to you about being tired? ”

Fu Qingshan took the cigarette and lighter from the man. He put the cigarette in his mouth and swiftly pressed the lighter. In the next second, the cigarette was lit, and the green and white smoke seeped out of his mouth and nose, making his voice especially deep and hoarse “I thought you would ask me about how I’m doing with the old man. I didn’t expect you to ask me about my brother-in-law first. What? Are you afraid that I’ll mistreat him? ”

Because he couldn’t go to the capital for the time being, when old Fu left, he asked old Fu to take Gu Dongfeng away.

“during the time you were in the capital, your cell phone and all your communication devices were confiscated by the organization. Do you want me to wait until you leave before asking? ”

Fu Qingshan snorted coldly, his eyes filled with bits and pieces of mockery. “Fu Qingshan, I just lost my memory. I didn’t become an idiot. ”

Ji Yunshen didn’t continue, but changed the topic. “The old master has been too quiet recently. Is there still no movement from the Yun Family? ”

Fu Qingshan shook his head. “No. ”

“I’m just afraid that they will go into hiding like this. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. We simply can’t prepare for the future. ”

Fu Qingshan took another deep breath of the cigarette in his hand and walked to the bedside table. He picked up the transparent ashtray and flicked the overly long cigarette ash into it. Then, he handed it to him and watched as he flicked the overly long cigarette ash into the Ashtray Only then did he speak slowly. “The old man’s love for Yuncomb really hurts from the bottom of his heart. Why don’t you try to pry his woman over? He will definitely be anxious. ”

“I think there’s something wrong with your fucking head. How did a car accident really turn you into a retard? ! ”

Fu Qingshan slightly raised his hand that was holding the cigarette as if he was surrendering. “Alright, I’m not joking. I think we should get two of the most expensive mercenaries in Europe to try to kidnap Yuncomb. Maybe we can make the old man give in. ”

“No. ”

Ji Yunshen put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray that he was holding. Then, he turned his head to look at the dense bamboo forest outside the French window “Yuncomb is at most his plaything. He’s not really sincere. He’s been standing at the top of the pyramid for so many years, playing with conspiracies and people’s hearts. His relationships with people have long been as thin as paper. Think about it. He doesn’t even care about his own great-grandson, let alone a woman. ”

“We still have to start from his political position. I replaced him. Even if he wants to interfere in my affairs, he can only think about it. ”

Fu Qingshan nodded. “okay, I understand. ”

Then, he put out the cigarette in his hand and looked up at the man in the dim light. “old JI… ”

“Yes! ” The man heard his voice and slowly raised his head. “What’s wrong? ”

“I. . . Want to talk to Qiao Man. ”

Ji Yunshen’s eyes seemed to blend into the color of the endless night, so deep that it was terrifying.

After about two seconds, he said coldly, “what do you want to talk about? Lin Yan? ”

He could make up for everything except for that woman.

He could only rely on the fragmented images in his mind to piece them together bit by bit.

But the more he pieced them together, the more curious he became about that woman.

“You still don’t want to give up? ”

Ji Yunshen took out a cigarette box and lit it up. “The maritime search and rescue team and tens of thousands of troops have searched and rescued her for almost twenty days. With the water area within ten nautical miles as a radius, do you think she has a high chance of survival? ”

Fu Qingshan did not say anything. Instead, he took the cigarette box from his hand and lit it up as well. “How would you know if you don’t try? ”

“I didn’t see you being so concerned about Lin Yan before I lost my memory. Why? Did you fall in love with her just because of a quick glance at the hospital? ”

“I don’t think so. At most, I’m just curious. ”

Ji Yunshen chuckled lightly. “Old Fu, you can lie to a teenage girl about this. They might believe you. ”

Fu Qingshan did not respond. He seemed to be thinking about something. A few seconds later, or perhaps more than ten seconds later, he said calmly, “Do you think she must be dead? ”

“maybe. ”

“Do you also think that she is very likely not dead? ”

“maybe. ”

“F * Ck, are you playing Word Games with me? ”

Ji Yunshen smiled and took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand. Then, he raised his head slightly and sprayed the smoke out of his mouth and nose. “How should I put it? I think it’s half and half. After all, according to the video of Tong Qin, she did indeed fall into the sea. ”

“But her swimming ability is not bad. She fell into the sea once before, and after seven or eight hours, she was safe and sound, but… ”

“But what? ”

Fu Qingshan held his breath as he waited for the man’s next words.

“But… it was summer then, and the sea was still warm. It will be winter now, and she’s pregnant… ”

He did not say the words “bad luck” in the end, as old Fu’s expression grew more and more lonely.

Fu Qingshan did not ask any more questions. Perhaps he felt that the answer he gave was always ambiguous, or perhaps he felt that no matter how many questions he asked, he would still insist on what he wanted to do. Asking would be the same as giving himself a heart attack.

When the topic was almost over, Fu Qingshan went to the study room and called a few people over.

The surgery was still going smoothly, but three ribs were broken, and the equipment was not complete, so the time seemed to be very long.

It was around noon when all the surgeries ended.

Fu Yihuai let the few doctors and nurses leave first. He stared at Fu Qingshan closely, afraid that he would go to Qiao man again and do something out of line.

In fact, since he was young, all the things that he had done out of line had something to do with Lin Yan.

As long as that woman was not around, he would not do anything outrageous. He just wanted to use this opportunity to make him completely give up on the idea of searching for Lin Yan. After all, everything was over. No matter how persistent he was, he would only look embarrassed.

Fu Qingshan, on the other hand, did not care. He had been sitting by Ji Yunshen’s bed, waiting for his anesthesia to go away.

…

Ever since Ji Yunshen left, Qiao man had been sleeping in a daze until noon. If she had not left the room and seen Fu Qingshan smoking in the corridor, she would have thought that all of this was just a dream.

She did not intend to say anything to him. She nodded slightly as a sign and turned around, preparing to walk downstairs.

She had just taken two steps when her wrist, which was hanging by her side, was grabbed by a figure running towards her from the side. She lowered her head to take a look, and the man quickly released his grip on her wrist.

“Qiao man, tell me, what exactly is Lin Yan… ”

He paused for a moment at the latter part of the sentence, as if he could not say it, but Qiao man still helped him to continue. “Is she dead or not? ”

She half turned around and looked at Fu Qingshan opposite her. “Fu Qingshan, when your entire Fu family forced her to be pregnant and she was sent to prison, why didn’t I see you running over to ask me how she is? Is She alright? Oh, right, look how I forgot. Your young master Fu has lost his memory. ”

“So, why are you acting all hypocritical now? Do you want me to help Yan ‘er make you a good husband’s banner? ”

After saying that, without waiting for him to say anything else, she walked downstairs.

It was already 11:28 pm in the afternoon, but the snow outside the window was still falling, as if it had drowned the entire world.

When she walked down the stairs, she saw Auntie Zhao busily bringing out dishes from the kitchen. She had not eaten breakfast, and now her low blood sugar was acting up again. When she walked, she felt that her legs were floating, and even her head was dizzy.

When auntie Zhao heard footsteps coming from the stairs, she immediately raised her head and smiled. “Madam, you’re awake. Today’s lunch is all prepared with your favorite food. Come over and eat. ”

“Okay, thank you for your hard work. ”

“No, it’s not hard at all. I’ll go upstairs and call the guests. ”

“Okay, you can go. ”

Qiao man walked to the dining table and sat down. She was not in a hurry to eat. A good education made her wait for the people upstairs to come down.

Before Ji Yunshen woke up, Fu Qingshan asked Fu Yihuai to come down first. After he finished eating, he would go up and replace him. He was afraid that when Ji Yunshen woke up and saw that there was no one in the room, he would feel that he was not a loyal brother.

In fact, he could not eat either. Ever since Lin Yan’s accident, he had lost about ten pounds. He looked at the food all day long, but he had no appetite at all. He did not even have the intention to eat.

Qiao man rested one elbow on the table and supported her chin. Her eyes were unfocused as she stared at a certain spot without moving.

It was not until the footsteps of Fu Yihuai and Auntie Zhao came that she was pulled back from her daze.

She almost unconsciously looked towards the direction of the stairs. Fu Yihuai walked in front with his hands in his pockets, looking nonchalant.

The surgery must have been successful. Otherwise, he would not act as if nothing had happened, unless his mental endurance was particularly strong.

Auntie Zhao led Fu Yihuai, who was a guest, to the dining table and returned to her room, giving up the space downstairs.

Fu Yihuai walked over with his long legs, pulled out a chair, and sat opposite her. “What did my brother say to you just now? ”

“What would he ask me? Don’t you know? ”

“I do know. I just want to remind you that no matter if Lin Yan is alive or dead, I hope she dies in front of my brother. Anyway, she’s not very happy with my brother, so I might as well care whether she lives or dies. As long as she doesn’t Pester my brother, anything is fine. ”

Qiao man lowered her head and reached out to pick up the porridge spoon. She scooped a mouthful of the taste of the porridge and smiled lightly. “Fu Yihuai, what answer do you want me to give you by saying that? ”

“Let’s not talk about whether Yan ‘Er is dead or alive first. Let’s talk about the attitude of your Fu family. Do you think that if she’s alive, what kind of glory does your family have, or do you think that you can give her a corresponding compensation? ”

Fu Yihuai did not say a word. His back was deeply embedded in the back of the dining chair “compensation? ” Qiao Man, four gunshots and a car accident. Do you think that’s not enough Oh right, how could I have forgotten that you and Lin Yan are best friends? The so-called ‘like-minded’ probably means that you both play tricks to marry men and like to haunt them, right? ” “Do you really lack men that much? ”

Qiao man did not get angry after hearing that. Instead, she continued to eat her porridge “Fu Yihuai, if you have the ability to control your brother, then you should do it. If you don’t have the ability to control him, then stop complaining in front of me. I have no reason and no obligation to listen to your meaningless words. ”

As she spoke, she paused for a moment before continuing, “also, whether Yan ‘Er is alive or dead, please rest assured that she will no longer have any relations with your Fu family. So please keep your heart in your belly and don’t jump out. ”

After being scolded by the girl, Fu Yihuai actually smiled and said, “Qiao man, to be honest, if it wasn’t for Lin Yan’s friend, I might have liked you. Unfortunately, your taste isn’t very good. ”

“Then I can only say that I’m lucky that my taste isn’t good. ”

After being rebuked by the girl angrily, Fu Yihuai didn’t say anything. Instead, he raised his hand to touch his nose, feeling as if he had choked on a mouthful of dust.

…

Ji Yunshen had been unconscious for about two hours before he woke up.

A piercing pain assaulted him, and he even had to frown tightly to drive away the pain.

Seeing that he had woken up, Fu Qingshan hurriedly helped him sit up. “The broken ribs have all been fixed. We can’t stay here for too long. You just need to rest a little longer, and we’ll have to rush back to Lin city. ”

“okay, I got it. ”

Ji Yunshen nodded, then hesitated to speak. After about two seconds, he asked, “has she been here? ”

Fu Qingshan obviously knew that he was talking about Qiao Man.
