C145 Chen Yan
After Bao Jinyu made his decision, he immediately took action.
He first sent someone to check on that person's recent condition. After knowing that she had recovered successfully, he dialed the familiar yet unfamiliar phone number. After two beeps, the phone was connected.
The people on both sides of the phone did not speak. After a short silence, Bao Jinyu was the first to speak, "Chen Yan, have you been well recently?"
The person on the other end of the phone still did not speak. Only a slight cough could be heard. After a long time, the woman called Chen Yan by Bao Jinyu finally spoke.
A clear and sweet voice was heard. The owner of the voice seemed to have made up his mind before he decided to speak. His voice was a little dry, "Jinyu... Are you well?"
Bao Jinyu looked out the window. The sky had been blue and white a moment ago, but now it had become a little dark and gloomy.
Even he himself did not know if he should get through this phone call, but there was no turning back when he fired the arrow. Bao Jinyu still continued to speak.
"I can still do it, but what about you?" Bao Jinyu greeted, as if the two of them were just ordinary old friends.
But what was the truth?
Chen Yan was Bao Jinyu's girlfriend, or more accurately, her ex-girlfriend.
They had never clearly said they would break up, but ever since Bao Jinyu fell in love with Su Jiale, during this period, Chen Yan had called Bao Jinyu twice. They were all rejected by Bao Jinyu. Over time, Chen Yan did not call again.
The reason Chen Yan did not contact Bao Jinyu was not because she had completely given up on Bao Jinyu, but because she still wanted to return to Bao Jinyu's side.
The video of Su Jiale participating in the New Sprout Piano Competition and the Chopin Music Competition was wildly circulating on the Internet. Even if Chen Yan lived in seclusion, she would still understand.
Chen Yan saw from the video and news that the main character of the story was her boyfriend, Bao Jinyu. Chen Yan did not know how she had reacted at that time, but that kind of despair and pain that others did not understand.
She still remembered when Bao Jinyu promised her that he would come back to find her. After that, they broke off contact. She had always thought that it was because she was disfigured. That was why she had always tried her best to undergo a follow-up examination. She never thought that Bao Jinyu had already met another woman.
Chen Yan loved Bao Jinyu very much. She could even forgive Bao Jinyu for betraying her.
She also knew that her current appearance would not change a man's mind, so she never went in front of Bao Jinyu and left her beautiful image in Bao Jinyu's heart.
As expected, the hard work paid off. Didn't Bao Jinyu call her just now?
Chen Yan knew that Bao Jinyu must have something to ask for this phone call, but so what? She was still in his heart, and this was enough for her to know.
Chen Yan avoided her current situation and hoped that Bao Jinyu would feel more guilt and pity for her. Instead, she asked, "Jinyu, why did you call?"
Chen Yan would never mention what happened back then. Bao Jinyu knew that he was in the wrong, but for Su Jiale, he still had to tell her about it.
"Chen Yan, I have been in trouble recently and need your help." Bao Jinyu said it sincerely. For Su Jiale, he could not ask for any more formalities now.
Chen Yan still had that innocent and ignorant voice, but there was a hint of doubt in it. "What is it?"
Facing such a pure and kind Chen Yan, Bao Jinyu suddenly could not say what he was prepared to say. He looked out the gloomy window and lowered his eyes. He frankly said, "Chen Yan, I am married."
On the other side of the phone, Chen Yan showed a cold smile, but the words she said were still very considerate. She tried to hide her disappointment in a low voice, but she accidentally revealed her sadness and said, "I know."
Bao Jinyu was silent for a while. Chen Yan had been very sensible since he was with her. Such a pure girl, Bao Jinyu felt that what he was going to say next was too cruel.
But as soon as he thought about the suffering Su Jiale suffered under Mrs Jiang's hands, Bao Jinyu's heart hardened again.
"I need you to come back and help me put on a show." Bao Jinyu sincerely said his request, "I will make it up to you."
Chen Yan pinched the tip of her finger, which was holding the medical gown tightly. It was white. She looked at the ward coldly.
Compensate? Bao Jinyu, I don't need your compensation. What I want is you.
Although she loved and hated Bao Jinyu in her heart, Chen Yan's expression was completely different from her inner thoughts. She asked in confusion, "Acting? Jinyu, what kind of joke are you playing? I don't know how to act."
Bao Jinyu was a little embarrassed to say the following words, but he still had to say what needed to be said, "Chen Yan, my wife was kidnapped, so I need you to help me confuse the other party."
Chen Yan's tone became slightly cold. "Is it Mrs Jiang?"
Bao Jinyu answered guiltily. Back then it was also because of Mrs Jiang that Chen Yan was hurt, but now it was still because of Mrs Jiang and Jiale being injured again.
He was still too kind.
Chen Yan was silent for a moment and agreed. No matter what she wanted, she would take this opportunity to return to Bao Jinyu's side. This was a chance that was bestowed by heaven. She would never let it go.
Bao Jinyu was prepared to say something but Chen Yan agreed without saying anything. It made Bao Jinyu feel even more pity for Chen Yan.
But Bao Jinyu knew clearly that he loved Su Jiale. He felt more guilty towards Chen Yan, even though Jiale was Chen Yan's shield at the beginning. He did not expect that in the end, it would become Chen Yan's smokescreen to protect Jiale.
It was really fate playing tricks on people.
"Thank you, Chen Yan." Bao Jinyu thanked her sincerely and apologized, "And, I'm sorry."
Chen Yao chuckled. "Jinyu, do you still need to apologize or thank me for our relationship?"
Chen Yan spoke vaguely. She wanted Bao Jinyu to recall their past and change their relationship from now on.
"Jinyu, I am willing to do all of this." Chen Yan said vaguely.
Bao Jinyu heard something strange, but he could not explain it clearly. He could only catch a hint and clearly refused, "Chen Yan, we..."
Chen Yan knew that Bao Jinyu wanted to draw a clear line between them, but she was not as good as Bao Jinyu's idea.
"Jinyu, alright, I still need to discuss with the doctor, so I won't talk to you first." Chen Yan's tone was cheerful, like a naive girl who did not know what was going on.
Bao Jinyu sighed lightly, thinking that he must have thought too much, so he agreed. "Then you can go. I will send someone to pick you up later."
Chen Yan hummed and hung up the phone. She revealed an extremely charming smile, but her appearance was pure and lovely. This kind of smile made people feel a chill when they looked at Teng. It was a kind of strange feeling.
Chen Yan did not want to joke about her face. She had indeed gone to find a doctor.
