Chapter 211 Her Vow
Siyi felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze.
She froze for a few seconds before awkwardly turning her face away. "Jiang Yanhui, why did you do this? You said you were bringing me out for a follow-up check-up today, is this all you did?"
"What, you're too scared?" Jiang Yan asked instead of answering, letting out a cold laugh. His breath sprayed on her face, but it didn't feel hot at all. He pursed his lips. "Didn't you always say that matter had nothing to do with you? What are you afraid to face? Anyway, he's lying there, completely unconscious. Even if you go to see him, he won't get up and kill you!"
His cold, disdainful expression always carried a sharp, sarcastic tone...
Siyi felt a pang of pain in her heart.
She was afraid to face it, but she wasn't guilty.
There were just too many things, and she simply didn't know where to begin.
She doesn't even dare to think about the name Jiang Jizhen now.
It wasn't because of Guan Fengru, but because of what Guan Fengru had told her about her biological mother.
She wasn't a cold-blooded animal; when she first heard the truth that had been hidden for so many years...
She struggled with the decision, but in the end, she still wanted to choose this man without hesitation.
She thought she was on the right path, but little did she know she was stepping into hell.
She never involved herself in the grudges of the previous generation, because she trusted Jiang Yan Hui from beginning to end, and believed in his feelings for her, but he didn't trust her at all...
She knew it was asking too much of him to believe her, because she had never lived with her biological mother, so the pain of losing a loved one was never as profound as his. Yet he didn't believe her, and continued to torment her like this. Did he really think she was such a worthless person?
Moreover, many things are simply baseless rumors without any substantial evidence. To conclude that Guan Fengru was responsible for everything is too arbitrary, isn't it? Instead of endlessly tormenting himself every day, why doesn't he spend some time investigating whether there's anything suspicious about the whole affair?
Does Ye Siyi mean absolutely nothing to him?
Exhausted, she closed her eyes, her voice filled with undisguised pain, "Jiang Yan Hui, what's the point of torturing me like this? I keep telling myself that I can understand what you've done to me. But you've never been willing to put yourself in my shoes. I'm a person too, and I have my own bottom line. Continuing like this will only wear down the most vulnerable part between us. But have you ever thought that if one day you find out that this whole thing has nothing to do with my mother, won't you regret what you've done today?"
Looking at her face, filled with utter despair and listening to her words, Jiang Yan felt the anger in his chest growing increasingly uncontrollable. He clenched his fists tightly; how much courage would it take to restrain himself from strangling her on the spot?
How could she do this?
Does she really see me as a fool to be toyed with? Or is she just taking advantage of my special treatment of her, which makes her so reckless? She's clearly planned everything, yet now she's saying she doesn't trust her…
Ha, he doesn't believe her? What exactly does she want him to believe in?
She can still speak so righteously, as if he is the one who is wrong. Has her heart really been eaten by a dog?
Jiang Yan had countless words swirling in his throat. He so desperately wanted to question her: Did she already know where Guan Fengru was, and that's why she was trying so hard to deceive him to come out today? Why was she doing this to him? He had once wanted to give her everything, but she wouldn't accept it, and now she was turning around and biting him...
What is this woman's heart made of? No, perhaps he should wonder, does this woman even have a heart? Or is everything she does and says to him a lie?
He was furious, but also deeply frustrated. So many words were stuck in his throat, going back and forth, but in the end, he could only coldly snort: "You talk as if you understand me so much, Ye Siyi. Do you really dare to say that you have never lied to me?"
Siyi turned to look at him. "I didn't lie to you! I really knew nothing when your parents had that accident. My mom did call me, but she just told me to go away and hung up without saying anything else. You dragged me back. I was terrified at the time and had no idea what had happened. Jiang Yan, be honest, do you really think I'm a scheming woman?"
Jiang Yan stared at her scrutinizingly, testing her with a mix of truth and falsehood, "I really don't know what kind of woman you are, but do you dare to swear to me? If you really lie to me, you will never be happy for the rest of your life, do you dare?"
Siyi's hands were unconsciously resting on her knees. When she heard Jiang Yan's reply, her heart skipped a beat, and then she felt her heart leap into her throat.
She took a deep breath and asked, "If I swear, will you believe me?"
Jiang Yan glanced back, his expression complex, a turmoil of emotions that Si Yi couldn't decipher. Clearly, he didn't intend for her to understand. After a moment, he turned away, saying, "You'd better swear an oath before you speak."
"Okay, I swear!" She knew it was a little late to say it, but it was better than nothing. Now she wanted to shed her feigned stubbornness and speak her heart.
She held up two fingers in front of Jiang Yan Hui and said with utmost sincerity, "I, Ye Si Yi, swear to God today that every word I said to you, Jiang Yan Hui, is true. It's true that something happened when I took you to the karaoke bar that day, but it was absolutely not a conspiracy between me and my mother to scheme against your parents. I really don't know anything. The reason I asked you to leave City A with me was because something happened that was hard for me to accept, but it was about myself and had nothing to do with you. I just didn't expect God to play such a cruel joke on us. You know what happened afterward. When you asked me, I didn't answer immediately, not because I was guilty, but because I was genuinely terrified. Now I'm saying it very seriously, I really don't know anything."
Looking at her sincere expression, Jiang Yan was momentarily convinced that every word she said was true. He also understood how much he wished he could believe her.
But is it really possible?
He pursed his lips and remained silent.
Seeing that he didn't speak and was just looking at her so intently, Siyi naturally assumed that he was weighing his words and wasn't in a hurry.
The carriage fell silent until Jiang Yan's phone rang, breaking the stillness. Both of them were startled. Si Yi slowly lowered her hand, turned her head to look out the window, and realized that they had arrived at the hospital.
She heard Jiang Yanhui answer the phone. Because the carriage was small, she could only hear a woman's voice on the other end of the line, as if she was calling him "Brother Yanhui." Siyi's heart sank, and she naturally thought of the little girl named Qingshu that she had seen before.
Sure enough, a moment later she heard Jiang Yan reply in a soft voice, "Then I'll come find you in a bit, don't worry."
He used to speak to her so gently, but now it seemed that even a solemn oath couldn't salvage their relationship...
It would be a lie to say that she felt nothing at all. Just hearing that woman named Qingshu call him Brother Yan Hui made Siyi's teeth ache, but what right did she have to feel that ache now?
A wave of sorrow washed over her. Knowing they were at the hospital, she didn't want to hear any more and simply got out of the car. She hadn't walked far when she heard footsteps chasing after her. A familiar force grabbed her wrist, and Siyi felt a surge of joy. He was chasing after her just like before. For a fleeting moment, she felt as if they had returned to the past.
She was running away, and he was chasing her.
But neither of them ever complained of being tired. He always comforted her, and she would occasionally throw a little tantrum at him, but he always indulged her. But now, looking back, it had only been half a month, yet everything between them had already changed drastically.
"I have some things to do. You go inside first, and I'll come pick you up later." Jiang Yan Hui suddenly spoke. His tone was calm, without the initial nonchalance or the sarcastic remarks he had made to her these past few days. However, there was a clear hint of impatience in his eyes. Si Yi felt uneasy. She moved her lips, about to say something, but Jiang Yan Hui had already gotten into the car without looking back.
In no time, the car, along with its taillights, had disappeared from sight.
Siyi stood there, stunned. The sun was blazing overhead, yet a thin layer of sweat seeped from her back. She felt as if she were in the dead of winter, so cold.
Would he rush over now just because of a phone call from Nan Qingshu, without even bothering to keep an eye on things himself?
Her heart ached as if it had been twisted.
However, she quickly regained her senses. Seeing that no one was around, she felt that God had probably closed one door for her but opened another window.
She took out her phone, glanced at Ye Zhenghao's text message, confirmed Guan Fengru's address, checked the time, and put away all her romantic thoughts.
Now she has the opportunity and time to see her mother. In any case, once she sees her, she will know exactly what happened that day!
She bit her lip, not caring about anything else, and quickly crossed the street to flag down a car. She got in, told the driver her destination, and the car drove off.
At the nearby intersection, a black Bentley slowly followed closely behind. The driver in the driver's seat looked nervously at the man sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
Jiang Yan's face was ashen, her hands clenched into fists, veins bulging on the back of her hands, and her once charming eyes now held a fierce light...
