Chapter 110: I Saw the Face Under the Mask, Something's Wrong with You
Noticing his actions, Jiang Liwu looked down at him and reassured him, "We've arrived."
Her gentle actions pleased Yan Wenyu even more. He hooked his fingers around the strap of her mask and then removed one of the ear loops. Jiang Liwu's face was gradually exposed to Yan Wenyu's view, deeply imprinted in his eyes.
Looking at this face that hadn't changed in the slightest over the past twenty years, untouched by the passage of time, and exactly the same as in his memory, looking at the small, familiar mole on Yu Xueqing's face, looking at the person in front of him with tightly pursed lips because of his worry for him, Yan Wenyu's eyes filled with tears, and he shed tears again, looking pale, fragile, and pitiful.
Stepmother...
Yan Wenyu's lips moved slightly, trembling, but he couldn't make a sound due to his difficulty and weakness.
Having done what he had always wanted to do and seen the true face of Mount Lu that he had longed to see, Yan Wenyu could no longer hold on and was swallowed by darkness. In the last second before he fainted, he tightly gripped the mask that had been completely torn off in his hand.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu!"
Seeing the unconscious person in her arms, Jiang Liwu felt a panic and quickened her pace. In her haste, she only had Yan Wenyu in her eyes and therefore failed to notice Gu Youchuan and Shang Tingyan, who were only two or three meters away from her.
“Jiang Liwu?” Gu Youchuan was extremely surprised. He saw the person Jiang Liwu was holding in her arms. “Yan Wenyu?” Yan Wenyu was very well-known, so it was not surprising that he knew him. Another reason was that Yan Wenyu was a member of the powerful Yan family in the capital. There were rumors that Yan Wenyu was not the biological son of the current Madam Yan, and that Yan Wenyu’s biological mother was someone else, a woman with mental illness.
Last time, Jiang Liwu was accompanied by Si Mocheng, but this time it's someone else again?
The speed at which the personnel were changed left even the dashing young nobleman Gu Youchuan speechless, and each of them was of extraordinary status.
"Jiang Liwu is indeed an extremely terrifying woman."
"I am truly ashamed of myself." Gu Youchuan also felt it was a coincidence that every time he saw Jiang Liwu, he would see a different man by her side.
Gu Youchuan stroked his chin with great interest, "Brother Yan, who do you think will be with Miss Jiang next time we see her?"
Shang Tingyan had one sleeve rolled up, revealing a disheveled appearance and bloodstains on his body. He had an injured arm that he hadn't had time to treat.
With his other hand, he was looking at something on his phone, and he quickly found the answer.
Gu Youchuan felt the cold, oppressive gaze of the person beside him. When he met the gaze, he was immediately startled and began to stammer, "Wh...what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Had he offended him?
"Did Jiang Liwu tell you herself that she and Yan Wenyu are in a romantic relationship?"
"No...no."
"Is it proper upbringing to casually make jokes about a woman?"
Gu Youchuan was speechless for a moment, cold sweat breaking out on his brow. He looked at Shang Tingyan, whose face was dark and covered with a thin layer of ice, and swallowed hard. "Brother Yan, did you eat some explosives today? Is it because you were in a bad mood after the car accident? I was just trying to distract you because I was worried you were in pain. I was just joking."
Shang Tingyan held the phone screen up to his face. "She did it to save someone."
Gu Youchuan saw Yan Wenyu being tackled by a crazed stalker fan. The scene was sudden and terrifying. Immediately afterward, Jiang Liwu picked up Yan Wenyu and was escorted away by bodyguards.
"I see. Miss Jiang is beautiful and kind-hearted. I misunderstood you," Gu Youchuan said sincerely.
“Miss Jiang is quite strong. Yan Wenyu’s weight should be about the same as ours.”
Shang Tingyan put his phone away.
Gu Youchuan sensed something was wrong. Something wasn't right!
He didn't say that Jiang Liwu and Yan Wenyu were in a romantic relationship.
Moreover, why was Jiang Liwu so anxious about Yan Wenyu's accident? He didn't believe they had any ordinary relationship.
"Yan-ge, something's not right with you." Gu Youchuan said with absolute certainty, scrutinizing Shang Tingyan as he tried to discern something amiss. "Why do I get the feeling that you care a lot about Jiang Liwu?"
Shang Tingyan turned his face to the side, his features sharp and angular, his expression indifferent and aloof. But this time, he did not refute Gu Youchuan's claim that he was overthinking things, and instead remained silent.
Gu Youchuan's eyes widened instantly.
No child?
……
After examining Yan Wenyu, the doctor administered intravenous treatment and said that he would wake up soon.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liwu breathed a sigh of relief and put her mind at ease. She then tucked the blanket around Yan Wenyu.
Xiang Rui looked at Jiang Liwu with an extremely complicated expression. "Although you helped Brother Yu, you also harmed him before. Brother Yu suffers so much every time he has an attack. You can leave now."
“You’re so young, you don’t seem that hopeless. You just went astray for a while. I hope you can turn over a new leaf, live a good life, and stop doing those extreme and crazy things like being a paparazzi or a stalker.” Xiang Rui said earnestly.
Jiang Liwu felt it was necessary to have a thorough talk with him, as it wasn't good for him to keep misunderstanding her like this.
"Xiang Rui, is it possible that I wasn't a paparazzi or a sasaeng fan at all?"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Rui was stunned. "Huh?"
Jiang Liwu took out her phone and pulled up her chat history with Xiang Rui. Xiang Rui stared wide-eyed in astonishment. Jiang Liwu sent a message in front of him, and Xiang Rui's phone beeped.
Xiang Rui: !!!
He shakily took out his phone and saw the exact same message.
"The reason I happened to be there the first time you misunderstood me was because the hotel floor I booked was there. The reason I was holding stolen goods was because the person who actually filmed and followed the burglar dropped them on the ground. She ran so fast that you only saw me in the corridor."
"I took out my phone to tell you my identity, but unfortunately my phone was knocked down and broken by this stalker."
"I came to the movie theater because I received the movie tickets from you. The reason I ran away was to catch this illegitimate child who stole Yan Wenyu's small wooden carving."
"Also, the person detained is not me, but this stalker fan. Her name is Tian Zhixia, 25 years old. She has been doing this kind of thing for many years, so she is very cunning. The reason you can't catch her is because she is good at disguising herself and shamelessly uses her underage younger sister's ID card. Today is the day she was released. She probably pounced on Yan Wenyu because of revenge."
After speaking, Jiang Liwu quietly looked at Xiang Rui.
Xiang Rui felt a sudden dizziness. He swayed and staggered, his hands moving like a blind man groping in the dark. Who am I? Where am I? What did I do?!
Thinking about how he had been constantly courting disaster and misunderstanding Jiang Liwu's behavior, Xiang Rui felt a wave of dizziness.
