Su Jianâan agreed without hesitation. âOkay, no problem! I will definitely help you get to the bottom of it!â
She looked as if she had received an important task from her superior.
After giving birth to two children, Su Jianâan was much more mature. Mu Sijue had not seen her in such an animated state for a long time.
Mu Sijue wondered, âAre you... all right?â
Su Jianâan smiled and shook her head, âIâm fine.â
âThen why are you so excited?â Mu Sijue looked at Su Jianâan quizzically. It was hard to tell whether he was really confused or just teasing her, âI thought you would only feel excited when you see Boyan.â
âWell, donât think too much about it,â Su Jianâan said seriously, âI just feel itâs my honor to contribute a little to your future happiness.â
After all, not everyone in the world had the chance to play a part in Mu Sijueâs life!
Mu Sijue finally realized that Su Jianâan and Xiao Yunyun really had the ability to make others speechless if they wanted to tease someone.
So he chose the easy way out; he fled from the room.
âIâm going to visit Auntie Tang.â
Then Mu Sijue left the treatment room. Looking after him, it was hard to tell that he was injured.
Su Jianâan wanted to tell Xiao Yunyun that it was completely unnecessary to worry about Mu Sijueâs kidney.
He seemed not to be affected at all.
Su Jianâan followed him out of the treatment room and went to the reception desk. The nurse there told her that Yang Shanshan had just finished her examination and was resting in the ward.
So she went to Yang Shanshanâs ward and knocked on the door.
After a long time, Yang Shanshan responded, âCome in.â
It was quite evident she had cried although she tried her best to cover it up.
Su Jianâan pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing it was her, Yang Shanshan was suddenly in no mood to reapply her makeup. She looked at her unhappily and said, âSu Jianâan, you can have a good laugh at me this time!â
âMiss Yang, you think too much,â Su Jianâan sat down and said helplessly, âin fact, Iâve never thought about laughing at you.â
Yang Shanshan snorted and said with disdain, âStop your sweet-talking!â
Su Jianâan thought that since Yang Shanshan thought she was sweet-talking, then she should really tell her some home truths.
She smiled gently but every word she said was as sharp as a knife, âIn fact, when a person is laughed at by others, usually itâs because he or she had acted like a clown.â
Yang Shanshanâs eyes glazed over for a moment before she realized what Su Jianâan meant. Her eyes widened and she glared at Su Jianâan and shouted, âWhat do you mean? Get to the point. Donât beat around the bush!â
Su Jianâan had a headacheâit was really hard to communicate with Yang Shanshan. It could not have been easy for Mu Sijue to bear with her for a day!
She tried her best to explain so that Yang Shanshan could understand, âDo you know how you made yourself look like a fool? Let me tell you. It was when you created such a scene in the hotel the day before yesterday. Think about it. If you didnât cause trouble in the lobby, why would Sijue take you away from that hotel?â
Yang Shanshan was speechless, but she was not willing to admit that Su Jianâan was right. Therefore, she turned her head away and did not look at Su Jianâan.
Su Jianâan didnât care about Yang Shanshanâs feelings and continued, âMiss Yang, I came to you just for Youning and Sijue.â
âItâs Xu Youning again! Can you stop mentioning that woman?â Yang Shanshan jumped up from the bed and yelled at the top of her voice, âSijue took the knife for that woman, and you came here for that woman. Why do you care so much about that wretched spy?â
Anger, grievance as well as guilt appeared on Yang Shanshanâs beautiful face.
Su Jianâan keenly noticed that Yang Shanshan subconsciously lowered her voice when she said Mu Sijue had taken the knife for Xu Youning.
She guessed right. The wound on Mu Sijueâs back was caused by Yang Shanshan.
And the point was that she was actually targetting Xu Youning but accidentally stabbed Mu Sijue.
Su Jianâan thought she could change the topic.
She tried to guide Yang Shanshan, âMiss Yang, are you still not going to give up Sijue?â
âWhy should I give up?!â Yang Shanshanâs delicate face was full of unwillingness, âXu Youning is an undercover agent and Brother Sijueâs enemy. She canât be with him! Iâm the most suitable person for him!â
âMiss Yang, Sijue loves Youning.â This sentence was like a heavy bombshell for Yang Shanshan. After a pause, Su Jianâan continued, âLet me tell you more. Sijue has proposed to Youning. If Youning didnât abort her child, Sijue would have married Youning.â
Yang Shanshan seemed to be struck by something. She shook her head and refused to face the facts. âNo... itâs impossible...â
âYou think itâs impossible for them to be together. But Sijue has broken many rules for Youning and itâs even okay to hurt himself to save her,â Su Jianâan thought of a popular saying on the Internet and felt it was necessary to tell Yang Shanshan, âMiss Yang, the biggest mistake in a personâs life is not stubbornness or selfishness, but to love someone who doesnât love you. Even if you persist, you will be hurt in the end.â
Yang Shanshanâs eyes gradually filled with despair, and she began to plead, âStop... please...â
Su Jianâan knew that Yang Shanshan was about to break down, but she continued, âYouâve always emphasized that Youning was an undercover agent. But have you ever thought deeply about it? In this world, Sijue is the person who knows best that Youning is an undercover agent. Even so, heâs still willing to stand up for her. He really loves her, no matter if you want to face this fact or not.â
Yang Shanshan covered her ears with all her strength. She screamed and squatted down, wailing.
She didnât want to give in... just didnât...
She could rival Xu Youning in every aspect. Why did she still lose out to Xu Youning?
Hearing Yang Shanshanâs desperate crying and although she sympathized with her, Su Jianâan couldnât help saying, âMiss Yang, maybe you think Youning is not good enough for Sijue. But as long as Sijue doesnât think so, others are not qualified to comment on their relationship. And you canât imagine what Youning has done for Sijue.â
âXu Youning has done something for Brother Sijue?â Yang Shanshan sneered, âSu Jianâan, are you kidding me?â
Su Jianâan couldnât explain too much to Yang Shanshan.
If Xu Youning really hid some secrets as they expected, the first thing they should do after finding out the truth was to protect Xu Youning.
If Yang Shanshan knew too much, it would not do Xu Youning any good.
Su Jianâan took out two tissues and handed them to Yang Shanshan, saying, âMiss Yang, just do Sijue a favor. Please tell me why Youning didnât resist when you stabbed her with your knife?â
Yang Shanshan glared at Su Jianâan and did not speak for a long time. However, she was a little hesitant.
Su Jianâan noticed Yang Shanshanâs hesitation. She was almost sure that Xu Youning did not think that Yang Shanshan was no match for her, but that something beyond her control had happened when Yang Shanshan stabbed her.
She tried to persuade Yang Shanshan, âMiss Yang, this is very important to Sijue. I hope you can tell me the truth.â
Yang Shanshanâs attitude changed a little. âWhy is it so important?â she asked.
âI canât tell you now,â Su Jianâan said mysteriously, âunless you tell me the truth.â
Yang Shanshanâs curiosity about Mu Sijue finally overwhelmed her jealousy of Xu Youning.
She said unwillingly, âI donât know why but Xu Youningâs face suddenly became very pale and she couldnât fight back at all. I think she was... sick.â
Su Jianâanâs heart jolted. She questioned, âCan you tell me more details? Whatâs wrong with Youning?â
Yang Shanshan pointed at her head and said, âShe seemed to have a headache.â
âOoh, I see. Thank you.â
After saying that, Su Jianâan turned around to leave Yang Shanshanâs ward.
She had to tell Sijue that Xu Youning was sick, as soon as possible.
If she remembered correctly, Mu Sijue had mentioned before that Xu Youning seemed to be uncomfortable. But later, Youning explained that it was because she was pregnant, which reassured Mu Sijue. He had been so happy that he gradually forgot about Xu Youningâs discomfort.
Now it seemed that Xu Youning was not simply pregnant.
âHey, wait!â Yang Shanshan stopped Su Jianâan, âYou havenât told me why Xu Youningâs condition is so important to Brother Sijue!â
Su Jianâan smiled and said distinctly, âItâs about his marriage.â
Yang Shanshan was stunned. When she realized what it meant, Su Jianâan had already left.
She screamed crazily. Half a minute later, she suddenly calmed down and burst into tears.
She liked Mu Sijue so much, but everyone, including Mu Sijue, liked Xu Youning!
Whatâs good about Xu Youning? She was Mu Sijueâs enemy. What could she do for him?
In a fit of anger, Yang Shanshan smashed everything in the ward and then called Mu Sijue, only to find that she couldnât get through to his number nor could she send him any messages.
Mu Sijue had advised her not to waste time on him. In fact, he wanted to tell her not to pester him anymore.
Mu Sijue was indeed heartless enough. He didnât give her any chance.
In the past, she would not have given up just like this.
However, her father was sick now, so she couldnât spend all her time on Mu Sijue.
Yang Shanshan borrowed a phone from a nurse and texted Mu SijueââBrother Sijue, Iâll be going back to City G.â
When Mu Sijue received this message, he was on his way to Shen Yuechuanâs ward from Tang Yulanâs ward.
He glanced at it and deleted it without replying. Then he pushed the door open and walked into Shen Yuechuanâs ward.
Su Jianâan came in right after Mu Sijue. She was out of breath as she had run over in a hurry.
Mu Sijue suddenly had a bad feeling. He frowned and asked, âWhat did Shanshan tell you?â
Su Jianâan gasped and said, âYang Shanshan said that Youning didnât resist at that time because she was not able to.â
Mu Sijueâs eyes turned cold. âWhy?â He asked.
Su Jianâan responded slowly, âYang Shanshan guessed that Youning was sick.â After a pause, she pointed at her head and said, âSijue, can you recall whether Youning had a headache before?â
