When writing the resignation letter, Song Qinian was filled with rage.
It wasn't that she couldn't get angry, but she loved Shen Chiyan too much. They had finally become husband and wife, and she never bore to get angry with him.
But after finishing the resignation letter, she looked at the CEO's office with a deep sense of reluctance and sadness.
Because she knew very well that Shen Chiyan couldn't wait for her to resign, couldn't wait for her to stay away from him.
Once this resignation letter was submitted, Shen Chiyan would definitely agree immediately, and might even praise her for being sensible.
And if she left Ding Sheng Group, if he didn't come home, she wouldn't be able to see him.
They would return to the time when they were husband and wife, yet saw each other only a few times a year.
Just thinking about it made her chest ache terribly.
However, what happened last night was too hurtful, and her heart and body were made of flesh and blood; not crying out for help didn't mean they didn't hurt.
With this in mind, she summoned her courage and stood up.
Just as she was about to take the resignation letter to Shen Chiyan's office, her phone suddenly beeped.
She looked down and saw a WeChat message from Li Nanxun.
"Miss Song, something has happened to Mr. Shen. He's at Central Hospital."
The moment she saw the word "happened," Song Qinian's heart skipped a beat, and her face instantly lost all color.
Without thinking, she threw the resignation letter on the table, grabbed her bag in a panic, and ran out of Ding Sheng Group.
By the time Song Qinian arrived at the ward, a fine mist of sweat had broken out on her back and forehead.
Seeing Li Nanxun at the ward entrance, she rushed over in a few strides, gesturing anxiously, "Secretary Li, where is Mr. Shen? What happened to him? How is he now?"
Li Nanxun, still dressed in his usual sharp and capable professional attire, explained the situation to Song Qinian.
An hour ago.
Li Nanxun had accompanied Shen Chiyan to a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the completion of Tianshuiwan.
Not long after they got out of the car, a child about seven or eight years old darted across the road. Seeing that he was about to be hit by an oncoming vehicle, Shen Chiyan rushed forward without a second thought and saved him.
Then, he himself broke his arm.
At this moment, Shen Keqin, who had heard about Shen Chiyan's injury and hospitalization, rushed over, followed by Jian Mubai.
"Sister-in-law, how is my brother?"
Song Qinian shook her head, "I haven't seen him yet."
"Ah? Then what are you doing at the door? Come on, let's go in and see him."
Shen Keqin pulled Song Qinian into the ward.
As soon as she entered, Song Qinian saw Shen Chiyan's right arm bandaged and in a sling. He was using his left hand to make a phone call, and the back of his left hand was also scraped.
His complexion was not good. Song Qinian stopped after taking a couple of steps forward, while Shen Keqin rushed directly towards Shen Chiyan, "Oh my goodness, brother, what happened to you? We haven't seen each other for a few days, and you've become Yang Guo now?"
Shen Chiyan shot Shen Keqin a cold, dagger-like look. After hanging up, he said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
"Look at you, so ungrateful. The moment I heard you were injured, I rushed over to see you, and this is how you treat me? Hmph… I'm angry!"
Shen Chiyan frowned. He knew without a doubt that Gao Kunlun, the bigmouth, must have told her.
"It's just a minor injury."
As he spoke, his dark eyes, as deep as ink, glanced coolly at Song Qinian. Song Qinian lowered her head, avoiding his gaze, her fingers twisting together nervously, clearly uneasy.
"Why did you bring her here?"
Upon hearing this, Song Qinian's body trembled slightly.
"Who?"
Shen Keqin looked back at Song Qinian, "Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law was already here when I arrived!"
"Make her leave!"
"Ah?"
Even Shen Keqin, as foolish as she was, could see that something was wrong between Shen Chiyan and Song Qinian at this point.
Her gaze flickered between Shen Chiyan and Song Qinian. Before she could speak, Li Nanxun walked in.
"Miss Shen, Mr. Shen's hospitalization paperwork requires a signature from a family member."
Shen Keqin's eyes rolled, and she immediately smiled at Song Qinian, "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen my brother in a long time and want to chat with him. Could you please go and sign it?"
Song Qinian pursed her lips. Although she was Shen Chiyan's wife by law, Shen Chiyan didn't consider her family.
"Sister-in-law, please, please…"
Seeing Song Qinian like this, Shen Chiyan's anger flared. He was about to speak when Shen Keqin, risking her life, covered his mouth.
At this moment, Li Nanxun also spoke, "Miss Song, please."
Song Qinian ultimately couldn't refuse Shen Keqin. She nodded and left the ward with Li Nanxun.
As soon as the two of them left, Shen Keqin quickly released Shen Chiyan and darted to a spot he couldn't reach with lightning speed.
"Brother, was the injury on Sister-in-law's mouth from you biting her?"
As soon as she said this, Shen Keqin knew she had asked a redundant question.
If Song Qinian's lip injury wasn't from Shen Chiyan biting her, then what a disaster it would be.
"Are you okay? Sister-in-law is so cute and so well-behaved, how could you bear to bite her?"
Shen Chiyan's expression turned even uglier. He cast a cold glance at Shen Keqin, his voice as cold as it could be, "You all think I bully her, why don't you ask her what she did?"
Shen Keqin was completely confused, "What did Sister-in-law do?"
Thinking of what happened last night, the malevolence emanating from Shen Chiyan intensified. Intense anger and some unknown emotion converged, making him extremely irritable.
Shen Chiyan's expression was so terrifying that Shen Keqin was startled.
What was going on?
Didn't Sister-in-law come home fine last night?
Just then, someone in the group @ her. She opened her phone and saw the photo of Guan Mingxu kissing Song Qinian.
"Qinqin, I heard that Guan Mingxu's true love is a woman with a husband. Old Master Guan was so angry when he found out his son was hooking up with a married woman that he beat him and locked him up."
"Wow, that's explosive! Who is this woman? And who is her husband?"
Shen Keqin was furious. She quickly replied in the group, "The photo is fake. I was there at the time, and the other person is my sister-in-law."
Shen Keqin ignored them further. After downloading the photo, she presented it to Shen Chiyan, "You saw this photo too, right?"
The moment Shen Chiyan saw the photo, a monstrous rage erupted in his dark eyes, "Where did you get this photo?"
"Never mind where the photo came from for now. So… you believed this photo was real, thought Sister-in-law betrayed you and gave you a cuckold's hat, and that's why you bullied her?"
Shen Chiyan's brow furrowed tightly, "What do you mean?"
Shen Keqin took a deep breath, then roared in exasperation, "This photo is fake! Guan Mingxu didn't kiss Sister-in-law at all!"
"I had someone appraise it. The photo isn't photoshopped!"
"Then it's an issue of angles! I was there at the time, and I can swear with my life that Sister-in-law absolutely did not betray you."
