You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 23 Part 2

Not knowing what Shen Mingying was calling about, in order not to expose any secret in front of Liu Mao, Ruan Yu didn’t answer the phone until she was outside of the restaurant: “Mingying.”

Right after she said that, she saw Xu Huaisong’s car park in front of the restaurant.

Yet she didn’t have time to pay much attention to it because Shen Mingying sounded quite anxious on the phone: “Go check Weibo, hurry!”

“What’s wrong?”

“Cen Sisi is streaming suicide. Someone said it’s all because of you!”

Ruan Yu’s knees buckled from the shock and slipped down the steps. Her elbow was supported by a pair of hands just in time.

Xu Huaisong was standing right in front of her: “What’s going on?”

Ruan Yu looked up in a daze and murmured: “Cen Sisi committed suitcide……”

On the day she posted the judgement of the case, Cen Sisi committed suitcide.

Ruan Yu clicked open Weibo with her trembling hand and discovered that the stream had been blocked already. She called Cen Sisi’s cell phone and no one answered.

“Who can contact her family, think carefully.” Xu Huaisong’s voice was still quite calm.

There was someone.

Ruan Yu dialed Li Shican’s number.

The phone call immediately picked up. Li Shican’s voice wasn’t steady either. He said while panting: “I already knew and have contacted her father. If it goes well, she should be sent to City First Hospital.”

Ruan Yu didn’t know what exactly happened and asked: “How did she……”

“She cut her wrist and took some pills. Don’t you worry, it may not be that serious.”

It sounded like Li Shican was in a rush as well. After hanging up the phone, Ruan Yu looked at the steps under her feet, her mind wandered off and didn’t recover for quite a while.

The volume on her cell phone wasn’t very low and Xu Huaisong had heard what Li Shican had said. He was quiet for a while before saying: “Let’s go.”

Ruan Yu raised her head: “Go where?”

“City First Hospital. It’s better to know the result right away rather than standing here waiting for it?”

Ruan Yu followed Xu Huaisong to get in his car.

City First Hospital looked quite business as usual. There wasn’t any sign of commotion over receiving an emergency suicide patient.

Yet Ruan Yu’s feet felt as heavy as lead once she smelled the strong disinfectant scent.

Xu Huaisong told her to wait at the side. He went up to check with the information desk, but didn’t get an answer. Then they heard a commotion coming from the front door of the hospital.

Xu Huaisong and Ruan Yu turned their heads and found a group of reporters with cameras and microphones surrounding a man with a face mask while noisily asking questions all at the same time.

Ruan Yu recognized the man that was being mobbed to be Li Shican.

Li Shican also noticed her standing in the brighter area of the lobby. He quickly took out his phone.

Five seconds later, Ruan Yu’s cell phone vibrated. She received a message from him: [Don’t stay here, go.]

Xu Huaisong glanced at the message and frowned. The moment all the reporters swarmed into the lobby, he grabbed Ruan Yu and walked towards the back door of the hospital.

Ruan Yu was stumbling along as her brain was racing.

Something flashed in her brain and she suddenly understood something. She stopped when they were near the parking lot: “Li Shican is planning to divert public opinion?”

No matter whether Cen Sisi could be saved or not, Ruan Yu in the eyes of the public would turn from the victim to the perpetrator.

Therefore, Li Shican planned to disclose the past history between him and Cen Sisi so the public would blame him instead.

The attraction from a famous star would be much bigger than from a normal internet writer like her.

Xu Huaisong didn’t say anything, as if he also agreed with her speculation.
