Chapter 325

Author: Qin Ruoxu MACHINE TRANSLATION

There were a lot of clothes in the cloakroom that were tailor-made for Qiao Man’s size. They were all clothes that Ji Yunshen had bought for her on various festivals, anniversaries, and even on a very ordinary day. He had missed her so much that he had gone to the Gao Ding clothing store to buy them for her.

There were probably not more than a thousand pieces, but there were at least a few hundred pieces.

There were home clothes, jackets, sweaters, jeans, and Pencil Pants, as well as all kinds of evening gowns.

The lights were in a warm Orange Hue, very dreamy and charming. When they hit the hundreds of clothes that did not have their labels removed, it felt like she was walking into a movie set.

She walked towards the evening dress area on the inside. When her small hands touched one of the light yellow short skirts, she was suddenly grabbed by the big hand of the tall man who was walking behind her. “This is a backless dress. Wear this. ”

His other big hand directly took the pure white gauze skirt next to the light yellow short skirt. It was an ankle-length style. Although the style was very conservative, the details of the design were stunning. It was the kind of skirt that looked very fairy-like.

“since you don’t want to wear it, why did you buy it? Is it moldy? ”

“You can wear it alone for me to see. This is called the interest of husband and wife. ”

Qiao Man,”…”

She did not argue with Ji Yunshen about which skirt to wear to the banquet. After all, such a small matter was not worth arguing with him.

When he was changing clothes, Ji Yunshen still walked out of the cloakroom with a gentlemanly manner, leaving the entire space to her.

To be honest, when she stood in front of the Dressing Mirror and looked at herself wearing the white gauze skirt that he had chosen for her, many tiny images flashed through her mind for a moment. Her pair of pitch-black eyes seemed to be shining with thousands of stars It was as if the bright and confident Qiao man from five years ago had returned.

However, it was only for a split second that the stars in her eyes returned to silence and darkness. This was because she knew very well that there were some things that could not be returned.

For example, the feelings from the past that were full of benefits but still considered sincere, as well as the bright and dazzling Qiao man, would never return.

The dress was designed with a zipper on the back. She reached out her hand to try it a few times, but she did not zip it up until the mirror reflected the tall figure that gradually walked into the reflection of the bright and resplendent mirror light from outside the door.

He quickly walked behind her. Because he lowered his head to help her tidy up the Zipper, the scorching hot breath sprayed on the back of her neck. It was slightly itchy and scalding, and she could not help but shudder.

“It’s done! ”

His slender fingers quickly closed the Zipper that stopped at the back of her waist to the back of her neck and gently lifted her long straight hair to one side of her shoulder. Then, his hands crossed over her thin and small shoulders And he put a diamond necklace that was shining with starlight on her neck.

“Man man, do you still remember the pendant on this necklace? ”

Qiao man shifted her gaze from the necklace to the pendant on the necklace and raised her hand to touch it. “Yes, this is the ring that grandma gave me back then. ”

It was a token of love between Duke and Madam Windsor. It was expensive and exquisite to the point that it was unforgettable. Therefore, she could clearly remember it with just a glance.

“You didn’t take it with you when you left. I’ve been helping you to keep it for the past few years. Now, I’ll give it back to you. You have to take grandma’s kindness well, understand? ”

Qiao Man’s hand was still caressing the ring. She looked through the mirror at the man’s dark eyes that were as dark as the night. “Ji Yunshen, what do you mean? Do you believe me? Do you believe that five years ago, I only accidentally injected GLUCOCORTICOIDS INTO GRANDMA? ”

“I never doubted you. I never did. ”

The man’s long arms withdrew from the woman’s body. He looked back at her without blinking and suddenly said, “man man, it was my fault five years ago. Let’s not fight anymore. Can You forgive me? ”

Qiao man held the ring in her hand and slowly turned around. “Then what did you do wrong? ”

“I’m sorry. I overestimated myself and was too confident in my judgment. ” He stretched out his long and slender arms and hugged her tightly. “Man man, I was wrong. I really know that I was wrong… ”

Repentance, frustration, or fear. At this moment, he could no longer distinguish between them.

But he really knew that he was wrong. He was completely wrong.

Qiao man did not struggle, nor did she have too many emotions. “But your apology came too late, Ji Yunshen. ”

After hearing her answer, Ji Yunshen’s tall figure clearly froze. “Let’s try again, one last time. If this time doesn’t work, I’ll definitely let you go, okay? HMM? ”

Qiao man remained silent for a few seconds, and finally reached out to push him. “Ji Yunshen, let go of me, I’m a little out of breath. ”

“You haven’t answered me yet. ”

“Ji Yunshen, to be honest, I feel that you don’t love me enough. Or Rather, your love for me is based on many assumptions. Perhaps I’m getting older, and I’m not so pure in the face of love anymore, so I feel that love is something that can only be met by luck and not sought after. ”

This time, she used almost all the strength in her body to push the man in front of her away. “I’m sorry, I really don’t want to try anymore. ”

The Spring Rain in forest city always fell as soon as she said it. Qiao man walked out of the cloakroom and heard the pitter-patter of rain coming from the window at the end of the corridor. She felt that her current state of mind was just like the rain outside the window, damp and cold.

…

7:30 pm, Miranda Hotel.

This year’s starlight gala could be said to be shining with stars. It attracted nearly a hundred popular celebrities, seniors in the entertainment industry, and all kinds of famous directors.

Although it was drizzling, it did not affect the mood of the celebrities and directors walking on the red carpet.

Ji Yunshen and Qiao man were the last to walk on the red carpet. The tall man wore a dark black suit and held a black umbrella. He walked next to the slim woman in a white dress. They just walked side by side It attracted the exclamations of the reporters and photographers from the media area. His popularity was comparable to that of an a-list celebrity.

Qiao Man’s dress was a sleeveless one-piece. The spring rain was a little cold, so it was inevitable that she looked a little shivering. The man next to her stretched out his hand without a trace, wrapped his arms around the woman’s shoulders, and hugged her tightly in front of his chest He looked like an overbearing CEO who had to pamper his woman, causing the media area to be filled with boos.

When they walked to the shooting area, the two of them only stopped for a short while and cooperated with each other to take a few photos. They did not accept any interviews and walked in the direction of the banquet hall.

The media area was surrounded by a red police cordon, and there were quite a few security guards to maintain order. Ji Yunshen had just taken a few steps around Qiao man when he was blocked by a woman who suddenly rushed out from the crowd, coming with the woman And the sulfuric acid in her hand.

Ji Yunshen almost subconsciously blocked in front of Qiao Man. Most of the sulfuric acid splashed onto the man’s back, and a small amount of liquid splashed on the back of the man’s neck. Qiao man could clearly feel the man’s body stiffen There was also a muffled groan coming from his thin lips.

The surrounding security guards were stunned for a few seconds when the woman rushed over. Then, they quickly reacted and pulled the woman away.

The woman had been screaming and screaming, “Qiao Man, you will die a horrible death. Qiao Man, I curse you, you will die a horrible death… ”

Even though she was not familiar with that voice, she could tell that it was Tang Lu’s voice.

The spring rain fell on her body and it was cold. She stood there in a daze for a few seconds before she suddenly reacted and pushed away the man who was tightly protecting her in his arms. “Are you okay! ”

“Are you okay! ”

The two of them said almost at the same time.

Qiao man shook her head. He was well protected in this man’s arms. How could he be okay? It was him.

“where are you hurt? ”

After confirming that she was fine, Ji Yunshen reached out to cover the back of her neck. “I’m fine. I’ll take care of it later. Go wait for me at the banquet first. ”

“No, let’s go to the hospital. ”

Ji Yunshen’s pitch-black eyes stared intently at the woman in front of him. He seemed to think for two seconds before nodding. “Okay, I’ll listen to you. ”

The sudden accident just now had already caused the people in the media area to be in an uproar. They took photos and published articles one after another. It was as if they had discovered the gossip of an a-list celebrity.

On the way, Ji Yunshen called Fu Qingshan and asked him to think of a way to hold on. He wanted to go to the hospital to treat the injury on the back of his neck.

Although there was not much sulfuric acid splashed on his skin, the burning and stinging sensation on his skin still prevented him from breathing properly. At the very least, he could not breathe normally.

Qiao man sat beside Ji Yunshen. There was a distance of about ten centimeters between them. She did not take the initiative to approach him, nor did she move far away. However, if one looked closely, one could see that there was a thin layer of mist in her eyes.

Ji Yunshen glanced at her. Just as he was about to reach out and hug her in his arms, the phone in his pocket rang. He took out his phone, glanced at the screen, and then swiped the answer button.

The next second, Secretary Sun’s slightly respectful voice came from the other end of the phone. “President Ji, just now in the police car, Tang Lu said… it was Miss Ji Han who sent her to seek revenge on Miss Qiao. ”

The man behind Tang Lu was Gu Xichen. Because she was too deep in character, she had hallucinated Gu Xichen. It was understandable, but she had no reason to cause trouble for Ji Han or Qiao man.

“Did he say why? ”

“He said that Gu Xichen shouted their names after drinking. Previously, she had caused trouble for Miss Ji Han on the set. Perhaps it was Mr. Fu who helped Miss Ji Han get rid of all of Tang Lu’s endorsements and scenes that were about to be filmed. There was almost no more star prospects to speak of, so she might not be able to accept it for the time being. So this morning, she went to cause trouble for Miss Ji Han again. Then, Miss Ji Han said that the person she should look for should not be her, but… … Miss Qiao!”

Ji Yunshen reached out to rub his aching Glabella. After a long while, he said in a low voice, “okay, I got it. ”

Qiao man was sitting beside Ji Yunshen, so she could hear Secretary Sun’s words very clearly. The second he hung up the phone, she looked up at the man’s deep eyes. She did not say anything, nor did she have any reaction.

“I will investigate it clearly and give you an explanation. ”

The man’s voice was very deep. In the relatively quiet car space, it seemed very magnetic.

Qiao man smiled and nodded. “Okay! ”

She probably did not have any expectations for the result of this explanation, so she acted very casually and perfunctorily.

Ji Yunshen’s deep eyes darkened, and he did not say anything more. Instead, he tilted his head and looked out of the car window.

When they arrived at the hospital, it was already 9:15 pm. When the doctor in the emergency room looked at the burns on the back of Ji Yunshen’s neck that had been splashed with sulfuric acid, he could not help but frown.

“This is a type of strong sulfuric acid. Fortunately, it only splashed on the back of his neck. If it had splashed on his face or his eyes, the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”

The female doctor very patiently treated the burns on the back of his neck. Then, she reminded him about the method of medication before she left the emergency room.

When the female doctor was treating the wound, Ji Yunshen asked Qiao man to pay the medical fees. She had just paid the fees and turned around when she saw a familiar figure at the corner of the elevator in the lobby. Her eyebrows moved slightly and she thought for about two seconds Then, she followed her.

It was imaginable that when she walked over, that figure had already taken the elevator upstairs. She stood in the same spot and waited to watch the elevator go up. It was not until the eighth floor that the numbers on the elevator screen stopped rolling.

This was a general hospital. Back then, when Qin Yulan was in a bad state of mind, she had come to this hospital for treatment. If she remembered correctly, the eighth floor was the psychiatric department.

She pursed her lips. She could not figure out who she was meeting at the hospital so late at night.

At this moment, another elevator stopped on the first floor. With a Ding sound, she ran in and quickly pressed eight on the number button.

After more than ten seconds, the elevator steadily stopped at the psychiatric department on the eighth floor.

Perhaps it was because the corridor was rather long, when she walked out of the elevator, she just happened to see that figure walking into a ward at the end of the corridor. When she entered, she even looked left and right. She seemed to be a little sneaky, as if she was afraid of being discovered by others.

Qiao man glanced at the sign at the end of the corridor, which read the psychiatric inpatient department. Then, she glanced at the direction of the surveillance camera, and covered the coat that the man was wearing over her head. Then, she quickly walked towards the end of the corridor.

Perhaps it was because the hospital was too quiet at this time, and she was wearing high heels. Every step she took would make a crisp sound on the shiny marble floor. In order to prevent herself from being discovered, she took off the high heels on her feet and held them in her hand Then, she quickly walked over.

This half of the inpatient department belonged to the advanced inpatient department. Each ward only had one patient. She tried her best to hold her breath and look inside through the transparent glass on the door panel.

The woman sat by the bed with her back to her. From the angle, she could clearly see the woman’s face lying on the bed. It was actually Jiang Meng.

She had always known that Jiang Meng was Ji Han’s most important friend, but she had never thought that one day, Jiang Meng would lie on the bed in the psychiatric ward. Her eyes were so dull that she looked like a child without any intelligence. She just smiled foolishly at Ji Han.

“Were you obedient today? Did you give an injection obediently? HMM? ”

Ji Han held a fruit knife and peeled an apple for Jiang Meng “Today, I’ve finally completed the design of my first starlight ceremony. The dream I told you about is slowly coming true. It’s a pity that you can’t see it or feel it, much less celebrate it for me. What a pity, Meng Meng. ”

She quickly peeled the apple in her hand and placed the peeled apple next to Jiang Meng’s mouth. After taking a bite, Jiang Meng took out a tissue and wiped her mouth. “Eat slowly. No one will snatch it from you. ”

After Feeding Jiang Meng the apple on the bed, she muttered to herself in a low voice “Meng Meng, do you still remember the oath we made on the island in Hawaii? You said that no matter what you did for me, you would never complain and would be willing to do it. Now that I’ve turned you into a fool, you can’t blame me… ”

At this moment, something fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Ji Han quickly turned her head and saw a white figure flash past. She quickly walked out of the ward and saw a woman’s high-heeled shoe that had been left behind.

She took a few steps forward to check the emergency exit. She checked the empty wards across from her before walking out to look at the surveillance cameras in the corridor.

…

Ji Yunshen had just finished treating his wound and walked out of the emergency room when he saw the woman running over with her shoes and throwing herself into his arms.

She buried her face deep into the man’s chest, as if she was thinking of how to tell him everything that she had just seen.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen? ”

Qiao man shook her head and nodded. She said in a muffled voice, “Ji Yunshen, I feel that someone is following me. Can you send a few more bodyguards to be by my side? ”

“Yes, okay. Did you get a good look at that person’s face? ”

“… No!”

When the two of them walked out of the hospital, the spring rain outside had already changed from the patter of the rain to the sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking.

Because he did not have an umbrella, the man directly covered her with his suit jacket. Then, he carried her who was not wearing shoes and quickly ran to the gray Bentley parked on the parking lot in front of the hospital.

When they reached the car, the driver quickly got down from the driver’s seat and opened the car door for the two of them. Perhaps he was tired from waiting in the car, so he did not notice that the two of them had walked out of the hospital in time.

The driver had an apologetic look on his face and apologized profusely. Ji Yunshen did not say anything, he just waved his hand and signaled for them to drive back.

Qiao Man’s mental state was very bad, she was lying there almost motionless. This kind of feeling was very similar to when she often had nightmares five years ago, when her mental state was poor.

“Have you started having nightmares recently? It has already been so many years, will you still dream about the servant who drowned? ”

Qiao man shook her head, she no longer had that nightmare, and there were very few times when she was not in a good state of mind, it was just that… … After meeting him again, those old memories resurfaced unknowingly …

“I rarely have nightmares anymore, but… the nightmares now are all related to you. ”

Ji Yunshen’s gaze was very deep, so deep that one could not see the bottom of it. “You ran back in such a panic just now because of that hallucination? ”

“It’s similar to that, but this is more realistic. ” Qiao man moved closer to him. “Ji Yunshen, if I say JI… ”

She mustered up her courage to say something, but it was easily interrupted by the vibrating sound of the phone in the man’s pocket. She watched as the man took out the phone from his pocket and very clearly saw the name on the screen — Han ‘er.

Ji Yunshen glanced at her and pressed the hang-up button. “What did you want to say just now? ”

“I said, if JI… ”

The words that Qiao man was about to say were once again interrupted by the vibration of Ji Yunshen’s phone. She did not continue, but instead pointed at his phone. “You should take the call first. ”

After saying that, she tilted her head and looked out of the car window at the bustling city that was drenched in rain and fog.

Ji Yunshen glanced at the woman’s silhouette reflected on the transparent glass, then lowered his head and slid down the answer button. “Han ‘er, what’s up so late at night? ”

“Just now… you came to the hospital? ”

Ji Han stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window at the end of the corridor, looking at the colorful garden lights in the hospital.”… With Qiao man?”

“Yes, what’s wrong? ”

Hearing his still low voice, Ji Han did not continue to ask. “I just saw the video on the Internet. What happened to Tang Lu? Why did she suddenly run over and throw sulfuric acid at her? ”

“I’m still investigating this matter, and I haven’t figured out the specific reason yet. When I figure it out, I’ll tell you. ”

“Okay! ”

Ji Yunshen’s hand that was holding the phone turned white. He glanced at the woman beside him. “Han ‘er, is there anything else? ”

“There’s nothing else. I just want to remind you that tomorrow is Qingming Festival. Grandfather and I will go to visit Grandma’s grave. Do you want to go with me? ”

Ji Yunshen pondered for two seconds and said a word of praise. Then, he cut off the phone communication and quickly reached out to put his arm around Qiao Man’s shoulder. “Man man, I’m sorry. What did you want to say just now? ”

“NOTHING! ”

Qiao man turned her head and glanced at him, then asked in a low voice, “I just wanted to ask you, if I said that I didn’t do anything, would you believe me? ”

“I believe you. ”

“Well, that’s enough. ”

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that it blurred One’s vision. The orange light emitted by the tall street lamps on both sides of the road was dense.

…

It was almost midnight when they arrived at the Blue Mountain Villa.

After Qiao man parked her ashy Bentley on the parking lot next to the swimming pool, she turned her head and said to Ji Yunshen, “you go up first. I want to watch the rain in the CAR. ”

“I’ll accompany you. ”

“No need. I want to watch for a while by myself. ”

Perhaps it was because extreme things would always turn against each other, so he did not continue to pester her. He said, “I’ll wait for you in the bedroom. ” Then he got out of the car.

Qiao man pressed her forehead against the windowpane. She connected everything that had happened five years ago and suddenly felt that it was ridiculous. Compared to the things that had happened, she herself was even more ridiculous.

Just as she was immersed in this kind of emotion and could not extricate herself, she heard the sound of her phone vibrating. She lowered her head, took out her phone from her handbag, and quickly swiped the answer button.

“Man man, can you come pick me up? ”

It was Lin Yan’s voice on the other end. Qiao man’s back immediately stiffened. “What’s wrong, Yan ‘er? Are you out of prison? ”

“Yeah, they said that I performed well and suddenly moved it up a few days. ”

“where are you now? I’ll rush over immediately. ”

Lin Yan looked at the surrounding scenery. “I don’t know. I’m lost. ”

“Fu Qingshan didn’t pick you up after you came out of prison? Where did you go? How did you get lost? ”

“No, I didn’t tell him. I originally took a taxi, but the driver was a wretched middle-aged man. I ran away and was surrounded by a dense forest. As I walked, I didn’t know where I went. ”
