CHAPTER 279: CHAPTER 278 RECURRENCE OF AN OLD AILMENT (2)

Yuan Shen looked at the phone in his hand with some irritation. When he saw that it was Old Chen calling, his eyes darkened, and a strong sense of foreboding surged within him, causing his hand holding the phone to tremble slightly.

He took a deep breath and swallowed hard before picking up the phone and pressing the answer button.

As soon as it connected, Old Chen’s anxious and panicked voice came straight through, "Young Master Yuan, something’s wrong, the young master has had an accident!"

"Shit!"

Yuan Shen couldn’t help but want to curse, he damn well knew this would happen, this time he was really prepared to commit harakiri!

Yuan Shen hung up the phone, didn’t have time to look for Dong Xin Yan, called the deputy president instead, gave a few concise instructions, and then quickly left Black Pool to rush to the hospital.

-

After Gu Ningyi stormed off, Dong Xin Yan leaned against the wall in a daze, her whole body trembling and chilled, her teeth chattering uncontrollably.

Gu Ningyi losing his temper was not unfamiliar to her, and he had lost his temper with her far worse in the past, but she didn’t know why today, he was more terrifying than ever before.

He didn’t have a fierce look, nor did he use insulting words, but those black eyes of his, staring intently at her, speaking calmly, made her heart feel as if it had been thrown to the coldest Arctic.

She felt that this time, he truly touched Gu Ningyi’s bottom line, even though... she didn’t understand what she had done wrong.

Dong Xin Yan stood there for a long time before she walked out in a daze.

Since Gu Ningyi invited her to this banquet, every night for the past few days, she had been dreaming, and every dream was incredibly beautiful.

She dreamt of reuniting with her mother, who was so happy, laughing and hugging her, telling her that she missed her, and that there was a reason for her leaving all those years ago, and she never forgot her throughout the years.

She also dreamt of playing along with Gu Ningyi, putting on a wonderful performance, which Zhou Yalin saw and became jealous, and then she would go to Gu Ningyi, and they would reconcile.

Dreams and reality are the opposite, this saying turned out to be true.

Her dreams were so beautiful, so happy, but reality slapped her hard twice.

Her mother... did not recognize her, did not want her, never even missed her, even... she had a new daughter, completely denying her former daughter.

And Gu Ningyi...

Although she had always hated him, even despised him!

But when he gave her a gift, and when he said her gift was precious, she was touched, and happy. She once thought that even if she couldn’t be friends with Gu Ningyi, at least they wouldn’t have to oppose each other, and they could coexist peacefully.

But she ultimately overestimated herself.

As Dong Xin Yan walked, she heard the subtle sound of high heels coming from behind. Recognizing who it was, her steps paused slightly, however, Lady Wei, walked gracefully past her without stopping, leaving directly.

Dong Xin Yan curled her lips, wanting to smile, but tears suddenly fell.

-

By the time Yuan Shen rushed to the hospital, Gu Ningyi was lying on the hospital bed, undergoing various examinations by the doctors, while Old Chen stood to the side, with a mournful face, anxiously pacing in circles.

Yuan Shen rushed forward in a few steps, grabbed Old Chen, and shouted, "What the hell happened? Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on him?"
