CEO's Secret Pet: Woman, You Can't Escape Even If You Have Wings
Chapter 257 You Can't Forget Him
Lin Yu turned his head away, avoiding Shen Jingyan's gaze full of resentment and guilt, and uttered a few words lightly: "No, it's just that there is no fate between us after all." After saying this, he no longer spoke, just stood there quietly, like a sculpture.
He had sworn in his heart countless times that he must rescue her from Jiang Xiyan's devil-like hands. However, the reality was always cruel and heartbreaking. Jiang Xiyan's methods were extremely tough and cruel, leaving no room for any leeway. He kept putting pressure on and attacking the company run by his parents, using all kinds of despicable means to suppress them. Facing such a powerful and ruthless enemy, he felt extremely desperate and helpless.
Eventually, unable to bear the enormous pressure and anxiety, his father fell ill. This heavy blow plunged the entire family into a deep predicament. Under such difficult circumstances, as the only son in the family, he had to step forward and shoulder the responsibility of saving the family business, serving as the president of the company. Although he knew that he was far inferior to Jiang Xiyan in terms of ability and strength, for the sake of his family and his persistent belief, he still chose to grit his teeth and persevere.
Lin Yu frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on Shen Jingyan's delicate but slightly melancholy face, and said in a low and concerned voice: "Why do you look so depressed today?" There was a hint of doubt and worry in his eyes.
At this moment, Shen Jingyan, who had been silent all this time, slowly raised her head, and her beautiful eyes were now quietly staring at the man in front of her who looked a little haggard - Lin Yu. She opened her red lips slightly, and asked carefully in a voice as soft as a whisper: "Lin Yu, at this point... have you ever resented me?" Before she finished speaking, her eyes were already filled with complicated emotions, including deep guilt for her past mistakes, and a faint expectation of the other party's response.
However, facing such a heartbreaking question, Lin Yu just stared at Shen Jingyan with a cold and expressionless face. After a moment, he said coldly: "What do you think?" Then he turned around without hesitation and sat back heavily on the large office chair. Then, he continued in an extremely cold and distant tone: "Miss Shen, why did you come to my humble home this time?" After that, he no longer looked at Shen Jingyan, as if he regarded her as air.
"I'm sorry, is my uncle okay?" Shen Jingyan lowered her head slightly, not daring to look him in the eye. Her face was filled with guilt, and the deep self-blame seemed to be engraved on her skin. Her hands twisted together uncontrollably, and her fingers turned white because of the force.
"Thanks to you, he is still lying in the hospital because of his anger!" Lin Yu glared at Shen Jingyan, his angry eyes like two sharp swords piercing straight at Shen Jingyan, his eyes were not only cold, but also full of blame and resentment. He clenched his teeth, his cheeks bulged slightly, as if he was trying his best to control his emotions.
Hearing the news, Shen Jingyan was shocked and took a step forward anxiously. She asked with a slightly trembling voice, "What did Jiang Xiyan do to you?" At this moment, Shen Jingyan's eyes were full of concern and confusion, her brows were furrowed, and her heart was in her throat.
Lin Yu slowly stood up, his tall figure casting a shadow, approaching you step by step. Every step he took seemed to carry a heavy weight, making the air around him heavy.
When he was only a few feet away from Shen Jingyan, he stopped, looked down at Shen Jingyan, and said coldly: "Shen Jingyan, what identity do you have to ask me this question? Jiang Xiyan's wife? Or..."
"How could I be his wife? Didn't he marry Xia Qingcheng a long time ago?" Shen Jingyan's eyes widened with disbelief, as if she had heard the most absurd thing in the world. Subconsciously, you shook your head desperately, trying to deny it all.
"Oh, you actually know about his marriage to Xia Qingcheng. If that's the case, why not tell me what kind of relationship you have with him?" Lin Yu smiled coldly, his eyes full of undisguised sarcasm. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, raised his chin slightly, and looked down at the person in front of him with a condescending attitude.
"I have nothing to do with him. There will be no relationship between us now or in the future!" Shen Jingyan met Lin Yu's questioning gaze without hesitation, her eyes revealing unwavering determination, as if nothing in the world could shake the truthfulness of what she said at the moment.
"Oh? Is that really the case?" Lin Yu snorted coldly, and the smile on his face became more and more contemptuous. It was obvious that he didn't believe anything Shen Jingyan said. "Then may I ask, why did you show up here? Is it just a coincidence?"
"It's not a coincidence!" Shen Jingyan quickly shook her head to deny it, her expression extremely anxious, and her speech speed unconsciously increased. "Since the moment Jiang Xiyan nodded and agreed to give me freedom, I have been worried about you all the time. I have called you many times, but I couldn't get through. In desperation, I had to ask around and finally found this place." As she spoke, her beautiful eyes were faintly shining with crystal tears, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.
Hearing this, Lin Yu's originally sharp eyes suddenly became unusually cold, and then he waved his arm, and quickly reached out and grasped Shen Jingyan's slender wrist like lightning. Because of the excessive force, Shen Jingyan couldn't help but frown slightly, with a look of pain on her face. However, Lin Yu seemed to be unaware and continued to ask: "What did you say just now? Jiang Xiyan actually agreed to let you go free? How is this possible..."
"He imprisoned me, which only made me hate him more!" Shen Jingyan's eyes widened with anger, and she used all her strength to try to break free from Lin Yu's hand that was tightly holding her wrist. Her face was twisted in extreme pain, as if she was suffering great torture.
"If that's the case, then why did you choose to go with him in the first place? And why didn't you just run towards me the first time?" Lin Yu could no longer suppress the surging emotions in his heart. His voice unconsciously rose by several decibels, filled with endless anger and deep disappointment.
Hearing this, Shen Jingyan's eyes instantly became moist. She bit her lip and said in a trembling voice: "How could I be willing to go back with him! So, now I come to you desperately, Lin Qin, are you...are you okay?" As she spoke, her beautiful eyes stared at Lin Yu cautiously, her eyes filled with expectation and anxiety.
However, Lin Yu mercilessly shook off Shen Jingyan's hand, and then turned his back to her. Shen Jingyan was left with an extremely cold and resolute back. He said coldly: "Humph, whether I live well or not, what does it have to do with you? Don't forget, you are Jiang Xiyan's woman now, and you still have the nerve to care about me?"
After Lin Yu mercilessly shook her hand off, Shen Jingyan staggered several steps involuntarily before she could barely keep her balance. She stood there blankly, her eyes closely following Lin Yu's receding figure, her eyes instantly moistened, tears pouring out like a dam bursting.
"Lin Yu, it's not like that. I have never been Jiang Xiyan's woman." Shen Jingyan cried heartbreakingly, her voice full of despair and grievance.
However, Lin Yu just snorted coldly, and his handsome face was now shrouded in a shadow, his expression looked gloomy. "Why are you still pretending to be pitiful and innocent here? Weren't you wavering between me and Jiang Xiyan at the beginning? And in the end? Didn't you still choose to throw yourself into his arms? These are ironclad facts, do you still need me to remind you?" Every word of Lin Yu was like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into Shen Jingyan's heart.
Facing Lin Yu's questioning and accusations, Shen Jingyan unexpectedly behaved very calmly. She just stood there quietly, looking at the man she once loved with an almost indifferent look, and slowly said: "Well, since things have come to this, I don't want to say anything more. I just want to know, after going through so many things, what do you think now?"
Hearing Shen Jingyan's words, Lin Yu was struck by lightning, and his body shook slightly. His originally upright posture seemed to lose support in an instant, and he swayed for a while before he could barely stand firm. Then, as if being pulled by an invisible force, he slowly turned around, and his eyes met with Shen Jingyan's.
At this moment, Shen Jingyan's beautiful eyes revealed deep sorrow and despair, like two broken crystals, which made people feel distressed. Lin Yu just stared at her silently, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
After a long time, Lin Yu finally squeezed out a sound from his throat, breaking the suffocating silence: "Then... tell me first, what are you thinking in your mind now that it has come to this?"
Shen Jingyan smiled sadly, tears slid down her cheeks, dripped onto the ground, and splashed small tears. She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and said in a trembling voice: "You actually canceled our wedding, then cancel it. Thank you for your care and love for me for so long." After that, she closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to see the man in front of her again.
Lin Yu frowned slightly, with a hint of confusion and anger in his eyes. He stared at Shen Jingyan and shouted, "Oh, cancel the wedding? That's because you are determined to be with Jiang Xiyan. Now that you are back, the wedding will still be held!"
Shen Jingyan looked up at the clock on the wall. The hour hand just pointed to the number four. It was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon. The whole office was unusually quiet, as if even the air had frozen. It was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard clearly. The breeze blew in gently from the open window, brushing her fair and delicate face like a gentle hand.
