Yu Xiao was absent-minded for the whole afternoon. She made several mistakes when sorting out the materials. Lan Chen saw that she was in such a bad state, so he let her rest. Shen Yimo was very busy today. He received another call at noon and left the company. Yu Xiao knew that he cared about her, and was afraid that he would chase her and ask questions when he came back. She really didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of him. When Lan Chen asked her to rest, she simply asked for leave and left the company early on the grounds of feeling unwell.
She knew that her complexion was not good and her eyes were a little red and swollen. She really didn't want to go back to Kang's house or her own home at this time. So she stopped a taxi, told a place name at random, and let the taxi take her to her destination. On the way, she received a call from Shen Yimo, asking her if she was okay. After a few perfunctory words, Yu Xiao hung up the phone in a hurry. The scenery outside the window kept changing, and her heart was in a mess. She actually wanted to relax her mind, but when the taxi stopped at the place she said, she realized that this was actually the seaside. After paying the fare and getting off the car, she unconsciously walked towards the direction of the sea.
On the day An Jingya jumped into the sea, she was not at the scene and did not know what the scene was like. But she thought of her unconsciously. This is a tourist area with railings on the beach and the undulating sea below the railings. This place is different from other places. Because of the terrain, the waves here are always very high, so there are straight up and down embankments under the railings. Yu Xiao held the railings and looked at the endless sea in front of her, her heart swaying left and right with the ups and downs of the waves. To be honest, looking at the unfathomable sea in front of her, she really didn't have the courage to jump.
It’s hard to imagine how desperate a person must be to choose death
Because she was married to Kang Shaonan, An Jingya could no longer see hope in life, so she jumped without hesitation, right
If An Jingya really died that day, wouldn't Kang Shaonan and I be the executioners who forced her to her death
She took out her phone from her bag and easily found An Jingya's number. It was a day before that when An Jingya called her and said she had something to do with An An, so she saved her number. Her fingers kept shaking on the screen. From the moment she knew An Jingya had committed suicide by jumping into the sea, she felt indescribably guilty towards An Jingya. But now when she really wanted to press her number, Yu Xiao found that she didn't even have the courage to do so.
She despised her own weakness and cowardice, but she didn't make the call after all.
As long as she pressed it, everything that happened between Kang Shaonan and An Jingya would be exposed to the sun. There would be no room for redemption. No matter what happened to them, Kang Shaonan would be condemned by public opinion for causing An Jingya to this point. That was not what she wanted to see.
So Sister Jingya, I'm sorry...
Please forgive my selfishness and weakness!
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
Yu Xiao did not go back to Kang's house. She was so upset that she hailed a taxi on the roadside and went back to her own home. When she entered the house, Ren Zhiping saw her daughter's red and swollen eyes and became suspicious. She kept asking her daughter if she had been abused in Kang's house. That was what she cared about most.
Yu Xiao looked at her mother's helpless smile, and in order to dispel her worries, she told her parents about her pregnancy.
"This is such a wonderful thing! You shouldn't have time to be happy, why are you still frowning? By the way, you don't want to have this baby now, do you? Your mother-in-law doesn't want to, so you had a fight?" When Ren Zhiping heard that her daughter was pregnant, her emotions became excited and she chased after her daughter and kept asking questions.
"Mom, it's not what you think. I don't want to give birth to a baby for Shaonan. I'm just too nervous about the hospital's test results." Fortunately, with the hospital as a shield, Yu Xiao was not exposed.
"What happened in the hospital?" Yu Huihou became nervous as he looked at his daughter's expression.
"The examination results at the hospital said that there was no embryonic bud inside the embryo. The doctor said there were two reasons for this result. One was that we went too early, less than a month or only half a month. The other reason was that the baby was very likely deformed! I was scared to death by his last sentence!" She was indeed scared half to death by this sentence, so the lie sounded very realistic.
"What kind of wicked doctor is that? Did he ever think about the feelings of the pregnant woman when he said that? It's so infuriating!" Ren Zhiping slapped her thigh in anger when she heard her daughter's explanation. She is also a mother, so she naturally understood what kind of psychological consequences this sentence would have on an expectant mother.
"Yes! This doctor is awful! But don't be afraid, my daughter. Shaonan is a soldier and he is so healthy. And you, although a little thin, don't have any disease. There will be no problem. What deformity? That doctor has no medical ethics at all. Don't be nervous, there will be nothing wrong!" Yu Jiahou was also very angry and hurried to comfort his daughter.
"Well, Mom, Dad, I'm much better now! Shaonan also comforted me in this way, but I still feel a little confused." Yu Xiao looked at his parents and smiled.
"Xiaoxiao, you don't have to think about anything now. Just take good care of yourself. Next time I'll take you to the hospital, if he says something like this again, I'll ask him for an explanation!" Ren Zhiping patted her daughter's shoulder to comfort her. Although her daughter's expression was not good, she was still happy from the bottom of her heart when she thought about becoming a grandmother soon.
"Okay, I understand, Mom! I'm a little tired now and want to go to sleep first!" Yu Xiao felt weak all over and just wanted to lie down on the bed and have a good sleep.
"Okay! Go and have a rest! Don't think about anything! Your parents are here, do you hear me?" Yu Jiahou looked at his daughter and said slowly.
"Yeah." Yu Xiao nodded, got up and went into his bedroom.
Ren Zhiping went in to see her daughter once. Seeing that Yu Xiao was sleeping soundly, she didn't have the heart to wake her up. It was not until around eight o'clock in the evening that Yu Xiao was awakened by a phone call. She picked up the phone and saw that it was Kang Shaonan calling. She sat up from the bed, calmed herself down a little, and then pressed the answer button.
"Wife, why didn't you answer the phone for so long?" This time the phone rang for a little longer, and Kang Shaonan couldn't help wondering.
"Oh, I was just in the bathroom." Yu Xiao made up a lie.
"Why does your voice sound so dull? Are you okay, wife?" The little girl's voice has always been very pleasant, but now it sounds a little muffled, and Kang Shaonan's nerves were tense again.
"Oh, I just took a nap and just got up!" Yu Xiao explained quickly.
"Didn't you say you were in the bathroom? How come it became like you just got up? And this isn't the time to get up, right?" Kang Shaonan immediately spotted the flaw and asked with a frown.
"Oh, I was at my mother's house. I felt a little tired after getting home from get off work, so I took a nap. After I woke up, I went to the bathroom. Who would have thought that you called me before I came out? Couldn't you wait until I came out before calling? You really don't know how to choose the time!" Yu Xiao asked back deliberately with an angry look.
"Haha! So that's how it is! Baby, you scared your husband again. I thought something happened." Kang Shaonan's heart finally settled down after hearing his wife's words.
"How could so many things happen? I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Yu Xiao tried his best to make his voice sound normal so as not to arouse his suspicion.
"Really? I'd be happy if you're okay. But what if your husband is still worried about you? Honey, go online and let your husband see what you look like. Only then can I be completely relieved."
"Oh, I used the computer at the company all day, and I have to use it again when I get home at night. Didn't you tell me to pay attention to computer radiation? I'm so tired today, let's do it another day! I have to go out to eat soon, I'm starving." Yu Xiao answered a little aggrieved at the end. She knew that with Kang Shaonan's personality, he would definitely urge her to go out to eat, so that he would not ask about the video again.
"Why are you eating now? Baby, you are pregnant now, you know? You must pay attention to a healthy diet, go and eat quickly! If the food is cold, remember to heat it up before eating, okay?" When Kang Shaonan saw the time, he couldn't help but worry about her health.
"Okay, I understand. Then I'll go eat first!"
"Well, go ahead!"
Shen Yimo was busy until around four o'clock in the afternoon before he returned to the company. When he passed by the secretary's office, he subconsciously glanced inside. It was at this glance that he noticed that Yu Xiao was missing. Originally, his attention was only on her, so he noticed it at a glance.
"Lan Chen, where is Yu Xiao?" He asked Lan Chen while standing at the door of the secretary's office.
"President, Yu Xiao was not feeling well this afternoon and asked for leave to go home." Lan Chen answered truthfully.
"Feeling unwell? Oh, I see!" Shen Yimo was stunned for a moment, then nodded and returned to his office.
When he sat down in the leather chair, he picked up his phone and called Yu Xiao. Hearing what she said, it was nothing serious, his nervous heart finally relaxed. Because today is Monday, it is much busier than usual. When Shen Yimo got off work, he had not finished the work at hand. He and Lan Chen worked overtime until 8:30 in the evening. Only then did they finish all the work to be handled today and left the company. Shen Yimo drove his sports car towards his home. When he was halfway there, Shen Yimo suddenly received a call from his sister, asking her to go to the Blue Enchantress Bar to help. Her good friend Kang Shaoxi was drunk because of a broken heart, and asked him to help take her home.
Shen Yimo didn't have a very good impression of Kang Shaoxi because of Yu Xiao's previous relationship with her. But after hearing his sister's urgent words on the phone, he agreed and turned the car around and drove towards the bar.
When Shen Yimo arrived, she saw Kang Shaoxi and her sister sitting in a corner. Kang Shaoxi's face was red from drinking, and her eyes were blurry and she was talking nonsense, but when she saw Shen Yimo, she still recognized him. (To be continued)
