Spoiled Sparrow

"I have no idea."

Lan Yin released his hand. "You should get some rest. I've already had the media blackout, and the wedding has been postponed. As for the Zhao family, I'll talk to them."

After saying that, she left the ward.

Fu Chen stared at him fiercely, and Chen Yan knew that Miss Ruan's affair could no longer be kept secret.

Fu Chen's voice trembled: "Where is she?!"

"Miss Ruan...she went abroad."

"Going abroad?"

Fu Chen scoffed, gritting his teeth as he questioned, "All her documents are with me, how could that be?"

"Mr. Fu, Miss Ruan left on a private jet. It was... He Xunnan."

During the days that Fu Chen was in a coma, Chen Yan investigated all of Ruan Qing's exit records, and after much investigation, he confirmed his suspicions.

She did indeed leave with He Xunnan. After the plane landed in Y country, no further information could be found about her.

"He Xunnan." Fu Chen gripped the bed railing tightly, uttering the three names slowly and deliberately.

He belatedly realized that the meal he had prepared for him that day was actually a way to leave him.

Ruan Qing, you believe him but not me...

Fu Chen closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind: "Chen Yan, immediately process the paperwork for flying to Country Y."

Chen Yan sighed softly: "President Fu, the company's senior management has heard rumors, the situation is turbulent, and everyone is panicking. Yuanhe is currently being managed by President Dong, and the stock price is fluctuating wildly..."

His voice grew softer, but his eyes did not waver.

Fu Chen's eyes were unfathomable. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Ruan Qing on WeChat.

Where are you? (!)

(The message has been sent, but the recipient has rejected it.)

Fu Chen stared intently at the red exclamation mark, his hand gripping the phone so tightly that the veins bulged, and the IV drip started to backflow.

Chen Yan silently took half a step back, not daring to breathe.

The next second, the brand-new phone smashed against the opposite wall, its screen shattering into pieces.

Fu Chen looked at Chen Yan with a fierce gaze: "Tomorrow, I want to know her location."

"Yes."

After Chen Yan left, his face was ashen.

Dong Chenye stopped him from behind the door: "How is he?"

Chen Yan took a deep breath and sighed, "Sigh. Let's just say, I've never seen him get this angry before."

Dong Chenye felt guilty about this matter.

On one side are his brothers, on the other his lover.

This is a problem that would be a century-old dilemma for anyone.

He stood outside the door, hesitant to go in.

Lan Yin happened to run into them when she returned from getting the medicine.

"Xiao Dong, why aren't you going in?"

Dong Chenye scratched his head sheepishly, "I'm too embarrassed to go in."

"I know you helped Ruan Qing, you didn't do anything wrong." Lan Yin glanced at the person on the hospital bed. "Fu Chen is incapable of loving. Letting him go might be an opportunity."

From Fu Chen's words, Dong Chenye roughly learned what kind of person Lan Yin was.

She seems to have some misunderstanding about Fu Chen...

"Auntie, Fu Chen really loves her—"

Lan Yin interrupted him, "You don't need to tell me anything more. All I know is that he locked her up in the castle and restricted her freedom."

"Is this what you call love?"

"I don't understand you young people, but I know Ruan Qing is unhappy here, and she wants to leave on her own."

He used to think that Aunt Lan Yin was a weak and gentle person, but now that she is so assertive, she has left him speechless.

Lan Yin pushed open the door, deliberately speaking louder: "What you young people lack is empathy. You only think about giving, have you ever asked what others want?"

Dong Chenye immediately understood what she meant and replied, "Okay, I will definitely go back and reflect on my actions. I'll be going now, goodbye Auntie."

Lan Yin pushed open the door and saw the broken cell phone on the table. She then looked up at Fu Chen.

Sitting on the bed, expressionless, like a walking corpse.

"Instead of making a scene here, you should go and manage the Fu family."

Fu Chen had never heard his mother speak to him in such a forceful tone before. His eyelashes trembled slightly: "Mother..."

Lan Yin walked to his side, wrung out a hot towel, and lifted his hand.

"This kind of thing can be left to the caregiver." Fu Chen looked at his mother wiping his hands in disbelief.

She had only glanced at his face before, and it reminded her of Fu Yancheng when he was young, making her feel nauseous and want to vomit.

Upon hearing his words, Lan Yin slowed down her movements.

"I failed in my responsibilities as a mother in the past, which is why those two people in the Fu family raised you to be like this. From now on, I will slowly make it up to you."

Fu Chen couldn't believe what he had just heard: "Mother, are you alright?"

"It's better than you are now. Don't think about anything else, go to sleep."

Lan Yin put his hand down, turned around and turned off the light.

When she first received the news of Fu Chen's car accident, she felt nothing.

It wasn't until she was in the hospital that she saw Fu Chen lying on the emergency bed, covered in blood, with doctors going in and out continuously for a full five hours.

His left leg was broken and then reattached, but he fell into a coma after suffering hemorrhagic shock.

Only then did she feel heartache and panic.

He was lucky to escape with his life.

Since Heaven is willing to give the mother and son another chance, let's follow Heaven's will.

Fu Chen looked at his mother's back as she sat by the window, a figure both strange and familiar.

His agitated state calmed down slightly.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, all she could see was her and that man.

He tried to lift his left leg, but to no avail.

Are you there?

Country Y.

"Nannan, what do you want to eat tonight?"

As usual, Pei Yu pulled Ruan Qing aside and asked, "I heard you're starting your own studio, is it going well?"

Ruan Qing took her hand: "Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Pei Yu took out a card and stuffed it into her hand: "Ten million. This is a little something from your mother. Take it. If it's not enough, go ask your brother."

"No need, I have money." She didn't take the card.

She's really not short of money now; the eight-figure savings she "deposited" with Fu Chen before is more than she can spend.

He Xunnan also gave her a card. With this money in her hand, she felt like the money wasn't even money anymore.

"I'll feel at ease if you take it."

Pei Yu stroked her face: "Take it, you can't go wrong with it."

Refusing any further would only break her mother's heart, so she had no choice but to accept the ten million.

In the afternoon, she got into the He family's car and headed to her newly rented studio.

"Miss, our company has vacant spaces, why do you need to rent one elsewhere?"

The one speaking was He Xunnan's driver and bodyguard, who had been specially assigned to her.

Ruan Qing's attention was focused on her phone, and she casually responded to his words with a couple of words.

"I can't rely on him entirely, otherwise I won't be able to stand on my own two feet."

She stared at the blank chat window on her phone.

A touch of bittersweetness crept into my heart.

She's been here for five days, and Fu Chen hasn't sent anyone to look for her, or even sent a single message.

This doesn't seem like his style.

Forget it, stop thinking about it.

Maybe he and Zhao Xiyao are newlyweds and don't care about her at all.

In a fit of emotion, Ruan Qing made a series of moves and added the person to the blacklist.
