You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 47 Part 3

It wasn’t until the elevator made a “ding'' sound and stopped at the 15th floor, which was Sun Miaohan’s floor, that Ruan Yu realized that she had forgotten to push the button for her floor, the 12th floor.

Wei Jin walked out of the elevator with his arm around Sun Miaohan’s waist.

Ruan Yu lifted her hand to push for the 12th floor. Suddenly she saw Sun Miaohan stiffly turn her head and give her a look.

When her eyes met with Sun’s, the elevator door began to slowly close and the elevator started to move down to the 12th floor.

Ruan Yu walked out of the elevator, rummaged for the key in her purse, and unlocked the door to her home with a shaky hand.

In the darkness, the look that Sun Miaohan had just given her seemed to float in front of her eyes.

If she understood the look correctly, the meaning of that look– –seemed to be fear and a plea for help.

Ruan Yu distractedly turned on the light in the living room and stood with her back to the door for a long while. Then she took out her cell phone to call Li Shican. She greeted him with a slightly shaky voice when the call connected.

Li Shican immediately noticed the unusualness in her voice and said: “What’s wrong, Xuejie?”

“You told me not to get too close to Mr. Wei last time. What exactly did you mean by that?”

Li Shican was silent for a moment: “Has anything happened to you?”

“No, it’s not me……” Ruan Yu felt her throat dry and swallowed before answering: “Can you tell me more clearly, is it like a casting couch situation or something else?”

“It’s more than a casting couch. It’s only too normal to have mutually consensual unspoken rules in this business. I’ve heard some rumors that he has a tendency to be violent……” Li Shican seemed to have some difficulty continuing: “In that respect, it’s probably…… his sexual disposition.”

Ruan Yu didn’t know what to say.

“I heard that he had badly hurt an actress before. But that actress’s family didn’t have the ability to pursue him and he used money to keep the family quiet.” He paused a bit: “What exactly happened to you? Tell me.”

“I…… saw Mr. Wei go into Sun Miaohan’s home. She didn’t seem particularly willing to……”

Li Shican became quiet. He said after a while: “Don’t get involved. You don’t have the ability to intervene.”

“Do you have any……”

“There’s nothing I can do either.” Li Shican sighed: “Xuejie, I could rush into the breakroom for you but it’s impossible for me to get myself into this mess for an actress I don’t even know. What I just mentioned is just a bad incident. It’s more than likely that nothing will happen. Can you just pretend that you didn’t see anything?”

Ruan Yu’s phone automatically shut down because it ran out of battery just then.

But Ruan Yu had heard enough.

Ruan Yu tightened her grip on the phone till her nails bit into the flesh. The look Sun Miaohan gave her flashed in front of her eyes over and over.

The look in Sun Miaohan’s eyes looked like a drowning person desperately trying to get ahold of their last lifeline.

Time was slipping by.

Li Shican said there was nothing he could do.

Xu Huaisong wouldn’t be here for another 20 minutes. He probably wouldn’t have any way to handle the situation anyway. Even if he did, it wouldn’t do any good by the time he got here.

Ruan Yu closed her eyes.

Pretend she didn’t see it.

Could she pretend she didn’t see it?

She gritted her teeth. When she opened her eyes again, she happened to see the white smoke detector on the ceiling.

Something flashed in her eyes.

She remembered that Xu Huaisong had mentioned to her when they were video chatting that once the fire detector triggered, the alarms in the entire building would activate.

She hesitated for half a minute, then rushed into the kitchen.
