Chapter 52: Chapter 52 The Cat Ran Away
Chapter 52 -52 The Cat Ran Away
Emergency Room.
Miss Song Wanqiu had only been a bit startled and was otherwise unharmed.
Shen Yan, wearing Gong Chen’s coat, stood at the foot of the bed, tears streaming down her face, looking even more pitiful and miserable than Wanqiu who had fallen into the water.
Leaning against a soft pillow, Wanqiu silently wept without waiting for Shen Yan to explain.
“Third Young Master, it was my fault. I misunderstood that Shen Yan had some intentions towards you, so I took your coat and… I accidentally hit her.”
“I just didn’t expect her to suddenly push me into the lake like she was insane. Luckily, you arrived in time, otherwise, I couldn’t even imagine the consequences.”
She didn’t appear pitiful and frail like Shen Yan; instead, she elegantly wiped her tears, perfectly embodying the composure befitting a lady of her status.
Both were crying, but it was obvious who cried more beautifully.
A man like Gong Chen would never take notice of a woman who only knew how to play the victim.
Wanqiu glanced coldly at Shen Yan.
There’ll be a time when you beg for mercy!
But to Wanqiu’s surprise, Shen Yan didn’t beg for mercy; instead, she knelt down tragically at Gong Chen’s feet.
“Third Young Master, I really didn’t do it on purpose! I’m just an ordinary citizen. How could I dare offend your fiancée? I was just… in so much pain from Miss Song’s slap that I wanted to explain to her that there was nothing between us, but in the scuffle, she fell into the lake.”
“Third Young Master, if you don’t believe me, look at my face.”
Shen Yan seemed to be admitting her fault but was actually playing the victim.
Kneeling, she looked up at Gong Chen, adopting the most cowardly posture to look up at the highest man.
She fulfilled all the fantasies of men being superior.
Especially now, with her swollen red face, she looked even more pitifully charming.
She continued to speak while crying, wiping away her tears as she spoke.
Her red eyes timidly fixed on Gong Chen.
Wanqiu on the bed was so angry she felt like getting up and tearing Shen Yan’s face off.
Although Shen Yan didn’t consider herself as beautiful as Wanqiu, she still saw herself as a modest beauty and hoped Gong Chen would take more notice of her, remembering her.
Just as she was filled with hope, Gong Chen glanced impatiently at his watch.
“You continue, come up with a solution then tell me.”
With that, Gong Chen left without turning back.
Wanqiu sat up straight and softly called out, “Third Young Master, Third Young Master…”
The door still closed.
She directly backhanded Shen Yan with a slap.
“What? The dog wants to bite its master? You’ve had enough benefits over the years, do you want to die?”
Shen Yan turned her head from the slap, enduring the humiliation, resigned to swallow her anger.
Her face, which used to be pleasant, was now asymmetrically swollen, appearing somewhat hideous.
Her hand, hidden in the wide sleeve, clenched tightly, but she still mustered a smiling face.
“Miss Song, I was actually helping you.”
“Shen Yan, I’ve warned you before not to harbor inappropriate thoughts, and you still dare say you’re helping me?” Wanqiu leaned against the pillow and sneered coldly, her face bereft of its usual grace.
“You’ve plotted hard to get me into Xue Man’s studio, isn’t it because you hoped I would deal with Lin Zhiyi? If the news of me pushing you into the water out of revenge reaches Xue Man’s ears, even if I am the Third Young Master’s fiancée, she would never keep me, so I had no choice but to change my statement in front of the Third Young Master.”
Shen Yan kept her head down, meekly nodding.
Wanqiu looked down at her: “Then I should thank you.”
“I’ve taken benefits from Miss Song, it’s only right that I do this.”
“At least you have some self-awareness,” Wanqiu scoffed as she flipped off the blanket, sat on the edge of the bed, and lifted Shen Yan’s face by the chin, staring at her swollen cheeks and chuckled harshly, “Since that’s the case, leave behind what you shouldn’t have taken, and get out.”
What shouldn’t have been taken?
Shen Yan was momentarily stunned, tightly clutching the coat on her body.
If she took off the coat, she might as well be exposed.
“Miss Song, please don’t do this…”
Wanqiu calmly adjusted her hair, not sparing Shen Yan a glance: “Take it off, or I’ll have someone help you.”
Shen Yan bit her lip and shakily took off Gong Chen’s coat, then struggled to her feet.
Wanqiu glanced at her, sneered contemptuously, “That figure? No one wants to see. Get out.”
Pale-faced, Shen Yan covered her chest and walked out of the emergency room.
Lin Zhiyi, Song Wanqiu, what’s so great about you? ƒrēewebnovel.com
