Chapter 280 Like an Idiot
Chapter 280 Like an Idiot
As she spoke, her tone involuntarily revealed a hint of happiness, and her eyes and brows radiated a warmth that suggested she was being cherished and loved at all times.
Siyi felt a pang in her heart, and her face turned even more pale. She subconsciously reached up and pulled her collar tighter, hiding the necklace under her clothes.
But no matter how well she hid it, at this moment she felt as if the necklace was a person's hand slapping her cheek hard. The pain was so intense that it felt like she had a huge stone in her mouth, her lips were numb, and her heart was clenching.
Back then, all she knew was that Jiang Yan had married someone else, but the identity of the bride remained a mystery. Over the years, there had been few reports about their married life, and she had never known who that woman was. But now, looking at the woman before her, she found herself superimposed with the blurry figure from her dreams.
A dull ache in her heart made it hard to breathe. She instinctively looked away, knowing she was about to lose control, so she couldn't just stand there motionless any longer.
Fortunately, the elevator arrived. As soon as the doors opened, Siyi couldn't utter a single word. She clutched her handbag tightly and quickly stepped into the elevator.
Unexpectedly, the woman followed them in.
The elevator was already too cramped, and Siyi really felt uncomfortable standing there with her. But it was impossible for her to get out of the elevator again. The elevator doors slowly closed again, and all Siyi could do was try to remain silent, but the woman next to her had something to say.
"Miss, you look unwell. Are you feeling unwell?" The woman's voice sounded exceptionally gentle, but Siyi lowered her eyes, not wanting to see her face.
She admitted that she felt uncomfortable because she was not a saint and could never be completely without resentment.
It turns out his wife is a real beauty, gentle and charming, and even shows such concern for a stranger like her.
But why couldn't she feel any warmth at all? All she felt was unbearable bitterness and sorrow.
The elevator, which was only for two floors, was moving so slowly. Siyi knew she couldn't ignore it any longer, so she could only grit her teeth and shake her head. "I'm fine."
"You look really unwell. Are you going to the parking lot?" In contrast to Siyi's coldness and distance, the other person was quite oblivious and even more enthusiastic. "I'm going to the parking lot too. Where do you want to go? I'll drive you. I don't think it's very convenient for you to drive in your condition."
"Thank you, but no need." Siyi bit her lip and said simply, "I can drive myself."
"Miss, you don't need to worry, I'm not a bad person."
The elevator finally reached the second basement level. Siyi had barely stepped out when the woman behind her followed. "Besides, my husband is a big shot in City A, so I wouldn't harm you. I'm just worried that you might have an accident while driving in this state. How about this? I'll tell you my husband's name, it's Jiang Yan Hui..."
"thank you for your kindness."
Siyi took a deep breath and finally stopped. She turned around and smiled slightly at the woman behind her, even though she knew that her smile was more like a grimace. But in this situation, she knew she absolutely could not lose to the so-called aura. She gripped her handbag tightly, but her tone was indifferent. "I'm really fine. Thank you for your kindness. I can drive myself. Besides, the place I'm going to is far from City A."
What a small world! When she heard the name Jiang Yan Hui come out of this woman's mouth, she felt like the sky was about to fall. She couldn't stay calm anymore, so all she could do was leave as soon as possible.
As she got into the car, she couldn't help but glance in the rearview mirror at the woman opening the car door a short distance away.
Manman has a graceful figure, an angelic face, delicate features, and impeccable taste in clothing.
"This was a gift from my husband. He said it's one of a kind in the world, and I love it very much..."
"I'll tell you my husband's name, it's Jiang Yan Hui..."
.........
"Then let me say it properly this time... Sisi, I'm not married..."
At this moment, Siyi realized just how ridiculous her life had been.
She was overwhelmed with emotion and couldn't control herself when he said, "I'm not married."
Because of Beibei's words, "Uncle said he loves Mom very much," she actually traveled all the way to City A to face those things she had never dared to face before.
No matter how much she wanted to deny it, deep down she knew perfectly well that five years ago, she wanted to give up everything and elope with Jiang Yanhui.
Five years later, despite claiming she had long since forgotten love and affection, she still finds herself unable to resist wanting more when she's with him again...
She's so stupid, so naive! He just casually said I wasn't married, and she actually believed him like a fool!
She reached out and grabbed the necklace around her neck, ripping it off with a jerk. She threw it onto the passenger seat, started the engine in one go, turned the steering wheel, stepped on the gas, and the car sped out of the parking lot.
Unbeknownst to Siyi, at the very moment her car drove off, the woman sitting in a bright red Ferrari slowly curled her lips into a smile. Bai Xi's fingers gently hooked the necklace around her neck, but her gaze instantly turned icy.
She's just a foolish woman; a simple necklace can widen the rift between them. I really don't understand why Yan Hui would choose such a woman. But it doesn't matter; he'll eventually realize that Ying Rui is the woman most suited to him.
She loved him all her youth, she would do anything for him, so what is Ye Siyi? What right does she have to compete with her for a man?
The private investigator they hired previously discovered that Jiang Yan had bought a limited edition necklace called "Love at First Sight".
It was a necklace designed by the most famous French designer. She had admired it for a long time, but no matter how high the price, she couldn't buy it. Who would have thought that Jiang Yan would buy it and give it to that woman?
When she saw the necklace around Siyi's neck in the photo, she was almost driven mad with jealousy.
Why is that? What's so great about this woman? She got what she wanted at any cost so easily! A 50 million hairpin was like two slaps in the face, and this necklace was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into her heart!
But she is Ying Rui, and she would never let her live so comfortably. Outsiders all thought she was just an innocent young lady, but who knew that under the guise of a young lady, she also had a heart that would do anything for love?
She reached out and took off the necklace, then threw it out of the car window without saying a word before driving away from the parking lot with a blank expression.
*******
Siyi's emotions had been unstable. When the car reached the highway entrance, she realized that her hands were shaking. In fact, she had run several red lights and narrowly escaped from large trucks several times. The car accident five years ago was still haunting her mind. She found that she didn't even have the strength to step on the gas.
She is afraid.
Of course she was scared. She was terrified that she wouldn't be able to get back to see Tiantian in time. But her mind was a complete mess, and she couldn't calm down at all. In the end, she had no choice but to take out her phone again and call Ye Zhenghao. She briefly explained the situation, and in less than half an hour, Ye Zhenghao's Land Rover was parked steadily at the highway entrance, right next to her car.
Siyi opened the car door, and Ye Zhenghao also got out of the car. She walked around the front of the car and sat in the passenger seat, while Ye Zhenghao got into the driver's seat.
"Thank you, brother." As the car entered the highway entrance, Siyi leaned against the car seat, exhausted. She finally relaxed a bit, but her tone of voice revealed an unprecedented weariness.
"Why are you thanking me? You don't look well." Ye Zhenghao turned to look at her, then reached out and squeezed her hand gently, saying, "Siyi, don't think too much. Mengtian will be fine. This is a good opportunity for me, as their uncle, to officially meet them. I've often thought about visiting you over the years, but I was afraid of causing you trouble."
Siyi didn't know what to say, and finally said three words in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry."
Ye Zhenghao noticed that she was distracted and looked quite unwell, so he told her to rest for a bit while he focused on driving. What would normally be a journey of several hours was shortened by almost an hour, bringing them to B City.
It was already midnight when the car arrived at the hospital in B city.
The two got out of the car together, and Siyi then realized that she had never told Ye Zhenghao that Jiang Yanhui was also there. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Brother, I haven't told you before, but Jiang Yanhui is actually in the hospital too."
Ye Zhenghao didn't seem too surprised, but after glancing at her, he smiled slightly and said, "I know, don't worry, we won't fight."
The last sentence reminded Siyi of five years ago, when Ye Zhenghao and Jiang Yan would always fight every time they met. She twitched her lips into a bitter smile, her tone filled with a strange sadness, "Now you have no right to fight either."
As soon as they finished speaking, they arrived at the floor where Tian Tian was hospitalized. The two stepped out of the elevator, and Si Yi looked up and was stunned. Jiang Yan was standing at the door of the ward, looking like she had just come out of it.
