Chapter 259 Broken Her
Lin Xiaoyan went up to the second floor and found that Shen Feiwan's door was open.
From his current position, the room was empty, with only the cold wind causing the thin curtains of the balcony to flutter in the breeze.
Behind the shimmering gauze curtain, a slender figure could be vaguely seen.
"Wanwan." Lin Xiaoyan knocked on the door twice and called out.
But he received no response.
However, he still stepped inside.
On the balcony, Shen Feiwan sat in a large sofa chair, her entire body almost completely hidden by the chair back.
Lin Xiaoyan could only see her long, loose hair flying wildly in the wind.
For some reason, at this moment, he suddenly sensed Shen Feiwan's helplessness. This usually fearless and silly girl's back now revealed an indescribable fragility.
This made his heart tighten suddenly.
He strode forward and stood beside Shen Feiwan.
Looking down, I saw that she had a cigarette dangling from her rosy lips, and she was holding the lighter in front of her hand to block the wind.
"what are you doing?"
In that instant, an inexplicable anger welled up in Lin Xiaoyan's heart.
He snatched the cigarette from Shen Feiwan's lips, his tone forceful, "When did you learn to smoke?"
Shen Feiwan looked up at Lin Xiaoyan.
When she looked up, Lin Xiaoyan noticed that her hair was matted and had obviously been wet before, and there was even a bloodstain next to her brow bone.
It was obvious that she had just been bullied, and it was even done in person, with people coming to her door to bully her, and she didn't fight back or retaliate.
In an instant, the anger Lin Xiaoyan felt over Shen Feiwan learning to smoke vanished.
He knelt on one knee in front of Shen Feiwan, looked up at her slightly, reached out to touch her wound but then withdrew his hand, saying, "I'm sorry, Wanwan."
His voice was hoarse and barely audible. "I apologize for my tone just now. But smoking is bad for your health, so please don't pick up these bad habits, Wanwan."
Shen Feiwan lowered her eyes to look at Lin Xiaoyan, her gaze cold and frosty.
A gust of wind blew by, and a few strands of hair brushed against her face. In a daze, Lin Xiaoyan caught a glimpse of a tiny tear in her eyes.
Just like many years ago, when she tried so hard not to let her tears fall in front of me, she looked so helpless, weak, and broken.
Lin Xiaoyan felt a tightness in his chest and got up to pull Shen Feiwan into his arms.
Shen Feiwan's head was pressed against his chest, and she could clearly feel the vibration when he spoke.
"Wanwan, I'm sorry," he gently stroked the hair at the back of Shen Feiwan's head, "I should have thought of it sooner, I should have thought that my mother would come looking for you. It's my fault."
Shen Feiwan remained expressionless as he held her, her tone mechanical, "I listened to you and endured it."
“I know,” Lin Xiaoyan’s fingertips ran through her hair, “I know everything, I’ll handle it.”
"How should we handle this?" Shen Feiwan's voice was completely devoid of emotion. "I didn't know there was another daughter of the Zou family. Lin Xiaoyan, I'm exhausted. You should leave. Neither you nor your mother should ever set foot in the Shen family again."
"I suddenly felt it was pointless. Let's just let it go and let my brother and mother undergo the investigation normally. Anyway, we have nothing to fear if we are innocent. I believe that the other side will give the righteous side an explanation and clear our names."
After saying that, she pushed Lin Xiaoyan away.
Lin Xiaoyan could hear despair in her hoarse voice and see the numbness of lost hope in her eyes.
He frowned deeply, leaned down and grasped Shen Feiwan's thin shoulders. "Wanwan, look at me! We can't just let this go!"
Shen Feiwan glanced blankly at Lin Xiaoyan, then broke free and stood up.
She lit another cigarette and held it between her lips. "Forget it all. My family's affairs, forget it. Ha, you and I are over too, we should have forgotten it a long time ago."
"No!" Lin Xiaoyan snatched the cigarette from her lips, took a deep drag, and stubbed it out in the flowerpot. "It's not up to you. I won't allow it! If I don't allow it, then it's not allowed to count."
As he spoke, his voice suddenly softened, "I'll take care of everything. I'll give you an explanation. No more cigarettes, I've confiscated them."
Lin Xiaoyan turned and left, taking Shen Feiwan's cigarette case and lighter with him.
Shen Feiwan stood on the balcony watching.
Lin Xiaoyan drove himself there. When he got to his car, he suddenly stopped and looked up in the direction of Shen Feiwan.
Their eyes met in mid-air, and after a brief two seconds, Shen Feiwan turned and left.
Lin Xiaoyan remained standing in the same spot, his gaze lingering on the place where she had just stood. After a long while, he finally opened the car door and drove away.
Shen Feiwan returned to her room and looked for a hair tie at the dressing table to tie her hair.
Suddenly, Chen You'en's image appeared in the mirror. She leaned against the door frame with her arms crossed, muttering, "Lin Xiaoyan is truly unfathomable."
She tilted her head. "You'd think he's cunning, but he was so impulsive just now. I hadn't even used the video I'd filmed yet, and you just sat there and lit a cigarette, and he was practically dazed. He probably really likes you, right?"
Shen Feiwan quickly tied her hair up, her movements swift and decisive. "The kind of person he likes isn't really liking."
She turned to look directly at Chen Youen, "If I were my brother now, and you were Lin Xiaoyan, and you had the ability to help my family, would you force my brother to marry you?"
Without hesitation, Chen Youen replied, "Of course not! I like Shen Xubai so much that I'd definitely help him solve his problems immediately. And if I help him, he'll naturally develop feelings for me. So it'll be a two-way street between us!"
“Yes,” Shen Feiwan smiled, “that’s the difference.”
-
Ye Wanjie came to cause trouble the afternoon before, Shen Feiwan staged a self-inflicted injury in the evening, and Shen Feiwan's second brother, Shen Xingyan, returned home the next morning.
Lin Xiaoyan's efficiency is astonishing.
Moreover, no sooner had Shen Xingyan entered the door than Lin Xiaoyan called.
"Wanwan, are you happy? Your second brother is back."
Shen Feiwan hummed in agreement, "Happy."
Lin Xiaoyan chuckled, "Does Wanwan still remember what you promised me in the car that day?"
She had promised him something? But Shen Feiwan had no idea which day he was referring to.
"I don't think I promised you anything, did I?"
"It seems Wanwan's memory isn't very good."
"Yes, I haven't been in a good mood lately."
"Isn't everything fine now?" The sound of a car door closing suddenly came from the other end of the phone. "Come out, Wanwan."
go out?
Shen Feiwan frowned and immediately walked to the window.
She drew back the curtains and saw Lin Xiaoyan outside, leaning against the car, looking in her direction.
When he saw Shen Feiwan appear at the window, he raised his hand and waved to greet her.
"Come on," he said, waving as his voice rang in Shen Feiwan's ears, "I missed you, Wanwan."
"...I don't miss you."
"Then come out too," Lin Xiaoyan said, his smile fading. "I have something very important to tell you."
Shen Feiwan hung up the phone, opened the door, and went out.
