C2 The Jiang Family's Dog

Why was she here?

The woman in front of her was wearing a hospital gown. Her face was as pale as snow. Yem Shiyun saw a shallow wound on her wrist.

Xia Shanshan smiled weakly at Yem Shiyun. She looked at her carefully and said, "Shiyun, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong, but Jiang Qingcheng and I really love each other..."

Yem Shiyun lowered her eyes and did not speak.

As the bed sank, Xia Shanshan sat on the edge of the bed. Her mouth seemed to open. "Shiyun, please don't blame Brother Jiang Qingcheng. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Brother Jiang Qingcheng is only doing this because of me..."

"It is my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned yesterday. I didn't mean to pick yesterday, but I can't watch Jiang Qingcheng's brother get engaged to someone else. I can't stand it."

"Have you said enough?" Yem Shiyun asked impatiently.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Xia Shanshan's eyes filled with tears and she burst into tears in the ward. "I'm sorry, Shiyun. I didn't mean to make you angry. Please don't be angry with me..."

Yem Shiyun gently rubbed her temples. Xia Shanshan was too noisy. She did not know what Jiang Qingcheng liked about her.

The woman kept saying she was sorry, but her words were full of sarcasm that Yem Shiyun was the third party, the bad guy who broke up the couple, and the one who caused her to slit her wrists and commit suicide.

Yem Shiyun's head began to hurt even more.

She reached out to grab the cup on the table, but as soon as she woke up, her body was very weak, and the cup fell to the ground.

The woman who had been sitting next to her crying suddenly got up and squatted on the ground. Yem Shiyun thought she was going to pick up the glass shards. Just as she was about to stop her, she saw her cry as she picked up a shard and cut her arm again.

The corner of Yem Shiyun's eyes twitched, and a bad feeling rose in her heart.

The door to the ward was pushed open, and his gaze happened to meet Yem Shiyun's eyes.

Jiang Qingcheng looked away in disgust. When he saw Xia Shanshan squatting on the ground with her arms covered in blood, he was furious, but he suppressed his anger and asked softly, "Shanshan? What happened?"

Xia Shanshan had already burst into tears. She threw herself into Jiang Qingcheng's arms. Her face was full of panic, and the blood on her arm stained Jiang Qingcheng's sleeve.

"Brother Jiang Qingcheng, it's not what you think. It has nothing to do with Shiyun," Xia Shanshan said as she looked at Jiang Qingcheng with tears in her eyes.

Jiang Qingcheng gritted his teeth and looked at Yem Shiyun. He shouted angrily, "Yem Shiyun!"

Xia Shanshan shrank into Jiang Qingcheng's arms, her face full of fear.

"Did my mom teach you this?" Jiang Qingcheng sneered.

Yem Shiyun clenched her fists and felt a sense of loss in her heart.

"You drank some wine yesterday, and this is the time for you to feel uncomfortable. It's better for you to have a cup of ginger tea and eat less greasy food." She was clearly warning her earnestly, but Yem Shiyun did not even raise her eyes.

She was like an emotionless robot, only knowing how to carry out tasks according to the program.

Hearing the woman's soft voice, Jiang Qingcheng couldn't help but think of what Yem Shiyun had said at the engagement banquet yesterday when she rejected Gong Yi'en.

Yem Shiyun said that she loved him.

How much of it was true and how much was fake, only Yem Shiyun herself knew.

"Stop pretending! Disgusting!" Jiang Qingcheng cursed.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yem Shiyun raised her head and looked at Jiang Qingcheng. She had a bright smile on her face. Jiang Qingcheng felt Xia Shanshan's body stiffen in his arms.

Yem Shiyun said with a gentle smile, "It is my duty to care about your health."

"Disgusting!" Jiang Qingcheng's face darkened and he snorted coldly.

With that, he carried Xia Shanshan out of the ward. Before he left, however, a disappointed look appeared on Yem Shiyun's face. It was still lingering in Jiang Qingcheng's mind.

Yem Shiyun said she loved him, but she was secretly with another man. Was this what she meant by love?

Gong Yi'en walked to the door of Yem Shiyun's ward with the flowers in his arms. He knocked on the door before pushing it open and entering.

He smiled at Yem Shiyun and carefully placed the bouquet of flowers on the cabinet next to Yem Shiyun's bed. He frowned when he saw the broken glass on the floor.

"Shiyun, is this how the Jiang family treats you? And that Jiang Qingcheng, you're already like this, why hasn't anyone come to take care of you?" Gong Yi'en asked.

The smile on Yem Shiyun's face froze. "The Jiang family has already been here. Jiang Qingcheng has also been here."

Jiang Qingcheng had been here before, but he was just here to embarrass her.

Seeing the hurt flash across Yem Shiyun's eyes, Gong Yi'en couldn't help but approach Yem Shiyun. He suddenly grabbed her hand, his eyes full of heartache.

"Shiyun, you're still speaking up for the Jiang family even now? I have eyes, how can I see what they're doing to you!" Gong Yi'en was a little emotional, so his voice couldn't help but rise a little.

Realizing that the two of them were too intimate, the smile on Yem Shiyun's face completely disappeared, "Gong Yi'en, let go."

Gong Yi'en didn't let go, his next move made Yem Shiyun even more embarrassed.

He grabbed Yem Shiyun's hand and suddenly knelt on one knee. He took out a red box from his pocket, his face full of sincerity.

Seeing this, Yem Shiyun could not help but feel her scalp go numb.

"Shiyun, I like you! What I said yesterday will always be true. If you want, I can take you away from the Jiang family and Jiang Qingcheng forever! Will you marry me?" Gong Yi'en said affectionately.

"Is that so? Mr. Gong, you are so capable." Jiang Qingcheng clapped his hands and walked in with a face full of ridicule.

When he saw Yem Shiyun and Gong Yi'en holding hands, the wild beast in his heart seemed to want to jump out.

Only then did Gong Yi'en let go of Yem Shiyun's hand. He stood up and looked at Jiang Qingcheng angrily. "If you don't love Shiyun, why won't you let her go?"

"Why?" Jiang Qingcheng asked coldly as she sat on the bed.

Yem Shiyun subconsciously raised her head and looked at Jiang Qingcheng. With just a glance, Yem Shiyun's heart skipped a beat. She looked away and clenched her fists tightly. Her body could not help but tremble.

They had lived together for more than ten years, and she knew that Jiang Qingcheng was furious.

Gong Yi'en was stunned. He did not expect Jiang Qingcheng to ask such a question.

"What did you just say?" Gong Yi'en asked uncertainly.

Jiang Qingcheng brushed the corner of his clothes and repeated casually, "Why should I? Yem Shiyun belongs to the Jiang family. Why should I let her go just because you say so?"

"Thing? She's a living person! A person with flesh and blood who can hurt!" Gong Yi'en was so angry that he pointed a finger at Yem Shiyun to defend her.

"A person? She doesn't deserve it! Yem Shiyun belongs to my Jiang family, for the rest of her life! Even if I don't want her, she won't be able to leave the Jiang family. She will always be a dog of the Jiang family," Jiang Qingcheng said as if he was venting his anger.
