Chapter 329: Fired
Chu Beibei's actions made her realize that she wasn't that magnanimous. Deep in her heart, she was full of resentment towards Wei Zhou. For the three years she had been bullied, if this scumbag had stood up for her and protected her for even once, she wouldn't be so resentful towards Wei Zhou.
Unfortunately, Wei Zhou had never cared about her. He was indifferent even when he saw others bullying her with his own eyes. She had also been disappointed time and time again. When she had accumulated enough disappointment, no matter how much she couldn't bear to part with a person, she would still leave. After all, everyone had to move on. Since she had already left Wei Zhou, she naturally didn't want to turn back again.
After getting into the car, Su Yan didn't immediately leave. From her expression, she didn't seem to be happy, angry, or sad. However, she knew very well how flustered her current mood was. Even the call from Tang Yitong had been hung up by her. She wasn't in the mood to listen to what Tang Yitong had to say, and she didn't want to say anything either. She also didn't want Tang Yitong to know that she hadn't moved on from these things.
The spacious and luxurious car was very quiet. There were only a variety of central control buttons and the dashboard lights on. In this kind of atmosphere, Su Yan recalled every word she had said to Wei Zhou just now. Her memory was very good. In addition, she had blurted out everything so freely just now that she couldn't forget it even if she wanted to.
After thinking seriously for a long time, Su Yan finally shook her head. She didn't feel that Wei Zhou was as useless as she said, and it wasn't that he wasn't good enough for her. She was just a little unwilling. She was unwilling to accept that the love and adoration she had since she was young had finally turned into nothing.
Tang Yitong kept calling her. Feeling helpless, she took a few deep breaths and picked up the call. "Oh my God, Little Yan Yan, you finally picked up my call. I have some good news that I have to tell you. Just half an hour ago, since Guan Yutong's acting skills were so bad that she couldn't even be compared to a supporting actress, she was fired by the executive director of the production team. Don't you think it's very funny? Hahaha..."
Su Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "Fired?"
In order to better conceal her feelings, she even secretly wiped away a tear at the corner of her eye when she said this. She even forced a smile at her phone.
Tang Yitong didn't notice the hoarseness in her voice at all. She continued to say excitedly, "That's right. Our crew saw it with their own eyes. We were originally going to borrow some props, but we ended up watching such a big scene. We heard that Guan Yutong was unable to meet the director's requirements. After thirty consecutive NGS, the movie queen who was acting with her was completely furious. She immediately requested the director to change the lead and reshoot the scene. If he didn't change the lead, the movie queen was willing to break the contract. The director had long had enough of Guan Yutong. When he heard the movie queen's words, he immediately fired Guan Yutong from the production team."
Su Yan looked out of the car window. The moon was very beautiful tonight, but the wind was very strong. Clouds flew past in front of the moon. It was already very late at night. She was already a little tired, and she had been so angry just now. She wasn't in the mood to care about Guan Yutong, but she couldn't ignore Tang Yitong, so she replied with a lack of interest, "Yes, this is indeed good news."
Tang Yitong was very sensitive. She asked with concern, "Little Yan Yan, why do I feel that something isn't right with you? Did something happen?"
Su Yan forced herself to cheer up and said, "Nothing happened to me. You're thinking too much. It's getting late. I'm going to sleep. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Hearing her say this, Tang Yitong immediately said, "Little Yan Yan doesn't love me anymore. You're going to hang up just after a few words. Tell me honestly. Do you have a new lover outside and that's why you don't love me anymore?"
Su Yan said speechlessly, "Goodnight, I'm hanging up."
Tang Yitong was speechless.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yan rolled down the car window and breathed in a few mouthfuls of fresh air. The cold night breeze blew on her forehead and made her calm down. After sitting alone in the dark for a while, she drove to her residence.
..
Floral Villa.
When she reached home, it was already one in the morning. Su Yan was tired and sleepy, physically and mentally exhausted. She didn't even take a shower before she got into bed to sleep.
However, after lying down for a while, she couldn't fall asleep. Her mind couldn't help but recall all kinds of unbearable memories. From when her grandmother almost sold her out when she was young, to when her parents died in a car accident, to the three years when she married into the Wei family.
Scenes that were etched in her mind surfaced. The more Su Yan struggled on the bed, the more energetic she became. The lights at the bedside were also switched on and off. In the end, she could only force herself to close her eyes to rest.
Chapter 330: Car Accident
Today's get-together was originally quite merry. It was because they had met Chu Beibei that things ended on a bad note. Most importantly, he had been thick-skinned enough to approach Su Yan and even lowered his head to apologize to her. It wasn't easy for Su Yan to have a better impression of him. He didn't have any feelings toward Su Yan. He just wanted to build a good relationship with Su Yan. However, things were interrupted by Chu Beibei. Not only was Wei Zhou scolded for no reason, but even he and Jiang Yuan would also probably be implicated. Presumably, when they saw Su Yan in the future, she would treat them the same as before. All his previous efforts were wasted. After such an unpleasant incident, Lan Jian no longer had the mood to go to the nightclub. He only wanted to hurry home and have a drink before going to bed.
However, just as he opened the villa's door, his phone rang. The caller was none other than his childhood friend, Wei Zhou, who had gone to chase his ex-wife. "Have you caught up with her?"
The other end of the phone sounded a little noisy. A young woman's voice sounded, "Excuse me, are you a friend of Mr. Wei's?"
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Lan Jian raised his eyebrows. "You are?"
The young woman said, "Oh, it's like this. Mr. Wei just had a car accident on the third ring road. He has been admitted to Skybridge Hospital. If you are a friend of Mr. Wei's, please come to the hospital."
Lan Jian was shocked. "Wei Zhou had a car accident? How is he now? Where was he injured? Is it serious?"
The young woman replied, "I'm not sure about Mr. Wei's condition. I'm just a nurse who is in charge of informing his relatives and friends. However, Mr. Wei is currently undergoing emergency treatment in the operating theater."
Lan Jian was speechless.
When he heard the words 'operating theater' and 'emergency treatment', Lan Jian's mind went blank for a moment. Then, he imagined Wei Zhou lying in the operating theater covered in blood, with all sorts of tubes and medical instruments stuck all over her body. He felt like he was dreaming. Everything was so unreal. Wasn't Wei Zhou chasing after Su Yan? Why was he in a car accident when he was perfectly fine moments ago?
Lan Jian replied, "Okay, I'll go over now. Please do your best to save him. No matter how expensive the medicine or the medical instruments are, as long as they can save him, it's fine."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone. The helper in the villa had just placed the slippers on the ground for him when he rushed out again.
..
Skybridge Hospital.
It was late at night, and it was very suitable for racing. Lan Jian stepped on the accelerator. In less than twenty minutes, he arrived at Skybridge Hospital. Racing with his rich friends wasn't a waste of time.
A red light was lit at the entrance of the operating theater. On the cold and heavy white steel door were the words, "Do not enter if you aren't allowed to. Maintain silence." A girl wearing a white nurse's outfit was sitting on a chair at the entrance. She was still holding Wei Zhou's custom-made phone in her hand, so Lan Jian walked over from her. "I'm Wei Zhou's friend. How's the situation inside?"
The young female nurse was very thin. Because she was often on night duty, her face was a little pale, but her eyes were very energetic. Although she looked average, she was young. Her entire body exuded a youthful aura.
"The doctor said that Mr. Wei's car accident was dangerous, but his body didn't have any penetrating injuries. It was just that his left leg was fractured by the deformed car door, so he needed an operation to fix his leg," the young female nurse said.
When he heard this, Lan Jian said in a bad mood, "You made it sound so serious on the phone. I was almost scared to death by you. If it wasn't for the fact that there were no cars on the road at night, I would have gotten into a car accident."
"I'm sorry, I just started my internship. There are some things that I don't understand yet. I'll be careful next time." The young nurse's face flushed.
Lan Jian was speechless. "What did you say? There's a next time?!"
"No, I didn't mean that. It's because I didn't make it clear just now that you misunderstood. I'm really sorry." The young nurse explained in a panic.
Lan Jian sighed. He was too lazy to argue with the young nurse and said, "Alright. Let me ask you, where's the other driver? Is he inside too?"
At this moment, a tall man walked over from the corner of the corridor. "Hello, Mr. Lan. I'm the other driver, Dan Zongwei. I was driving in the opposite direction from Mr. Wei. At that time, I was smoking, and the cigarette butt fell on my leg. In my panic, I accidentally used the accelerator as the brake, so..."
Lan Jian sneered. "Hmph, smoking while driving? You really did well on the driving test. Now, it's useless for you to say anything. Everything will be done according to procedures. You'd better pray that Wei Zhou's leg is fine, or else you'll regret it!"
Chapter 331: Won't Die Anytime Soon
Dan Zongwei nodded with an apologetic look on his face, "Don't worry, my car has all kinds of insurance. I definitely won't shirk responsibility. Mr. Wei is very lucky. He will definitely be fine."
Wei Zhou's rolls-royce was imported. Its extended tail wings showed Wei Zhou's wealth. Although Lan Jian looked sloppy, his expensive clothes and noble aura couldn't be faked. A person who could have a friend with a rolls-royce at this age definitely wouldn't be from an ordinary family. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Dan Zongwei felt. Seeing that Lan Jian was impatient, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Lan Jian called Li Rong. Wei Zhou had such a big accident, so he had to inform Li Rong. There were still many things that Li Rong needed to do after that, such as paying the fees, hiring nurses, and so on.
Three hours later, the lights at the entrance of the operating theater turned green. Two nurses pushed open the heavy door from inside, and two doctors pushed Wei Zhou out of the operating theater. Although he was under general anesthesia, when Wei Zhou came out, he was already awake. But he looked a little weak, and his eyes were a little blurry. He was covered with a blanket for sterile purposes. Therefore, before he entered the operating theater, all of his clothes had been cut off. Only his broken left leg was covered with a thick bandage.
Looking at Wei Zhou lying on the hospital bed with an icy look on his face even though she was injured, Lan Jian was speechless. Lan Jian was so angry that he said, "Ah Zhou, you're really something. I told you to chase after her, but I didn't tell you to chase after a car. Look at how capable you are. You crippled one of your legs. I want to applaud you."
Hearing his sarcastic words, Wei Zhou lay on the hospital bed and glanced at him coldly. If it weren't for the fact that the anesthetic on his body that hadn't passed yet, Lan Jian would have already been beaten up.
Seeing that Wei Zhou couldn't make a move, Lan Jian had a smug expression that said, "You've got into big trouble this time. I'm just saying, is there a possibility that because Su Yan hates you and doesn't want you anymore, you couldn't take it and felt so depressed that you planned to commit suicide together?"
Even though he was seriously injured and had just undergone major surgery, Wei Zhou's eyes showed anger. If it wasn't for the strong anesthetic, he would have immediately pressed Lan Jian to the ground and beaten him up. Was he trying to bully him into not being able to move? He would remember this grudge!
Wei Zhou didn't want to bother with Lan Jian anymore. He simply closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. The medical staff pushed Wei Zhou into a VIP ward. After giving a few instructions, they left one after another. Lan Jian moved a chair and sat down beside the hospital bed. Looking at the oxygen mask on Wei Zhou's face, he couldn't help but sigh. "Hey, stop pretending to be asleep. I know that you're not asleep at all. Tell me what happened to you. Don't worry, you're in such a miserable state now and you've been abandoned by Su Yan. I won't laugh at you."
Wei Zhou lay on the hospital bed with his eyes closed. His entire body was in a relaxed state. However, from the frequency of his breathing and the rolling of his eyelids, Lan Jian could tell that he wasn't asleep at all.
Seeing that Wei Zhou was ignoring him, Lan Jian said again, "Tell me, how did Su Yan reject you? Let me help you analyze it and see if you still have a chance. Moreover, even if she really doesn't want you anymore, you can't just die like this, right?"
Wei Zhou suddenly opened his eyes. He turned his head with all his strength and stared straight at Lan Jian. He used a hoarse and weak voice to curse, "Shut up!"
Hearing him curse, Lan Jian immediately broke into a smile. "Not bad. You still have the strength to curse me. Looks like you won't die for a while."
Wei Zhou was speechless.
He couldn't move now, or else he would definitely get up and look at the heavens to ask why he knew this bastard Lan Jian. What sins did he commit in his previous life?
Lan Jian took out his phone and took a series of pictures of Wei Zhou on the hospital bed. He even deliberately used a button to optimize the whiteness. As he took pictures, he even clicked his tongue. He looked annoying, like he was asking for a beating.
The anesthetic's effects were almost gone. Wei Zhou could finally move his limbs. While Lan Jian was taking close-up pictures of him, Wei Zhou reached out and grabbed Lan Jian's phone, but Lan Jian dodged it.
Wei Zhou glared at him and said, "Lan Jian, do you want to go to the boxing gym with me again?"
Lan Jian rolled his eyes at him, with an expression that said, "What do you know?" He said, "I realized that you really don't have a conscience. Why am I not sleeping but helping you take photos and post them on WeChat at night? Isn't it just to attract Su Yan's attention? Su Yan is cold on the outside but warm-hearted on the inside. If she saw how miserable you are, she might take the initiative to come and visit you. Wouldn't that be a blessing in disguise?"
Chapter 332: Ah Zhou, Hold On. Ah Zhou, Don't Cry.
Wei Zhou saw that he couldn't stop him, so he could only say, "Don't say anything."
Lan Jian smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'm very experienced in doing things. In the past, I also played the pity card to deceive many young and beautiful girls."
Wei Zhou was speechless.
He just didn't have the strength to speak now. Otherwise, he would definitely scold himself harshly for lacking prudent judgment. When he was discharged from the hospital, he had to reflect on himself. Why did he know Lan Jian and how did he become friends with him?
However, when the anesthetic on Wei Zhou's body disappeared, he took his phone and looked at his moments. In the end, he saw nine photos of him lying on the hospital bed with one leg hanging high up. The photos alone would be nothing, but the accompanying words almost made him pass out from anger. "A good buddy got dumped and attempted to drive to his death in the middle of the night. Ah Zhou, hold on. Ah Zhou, don't cry. Even without any woman, there's still me!"
The veins on Wei Zhou's forehead were throbbing wildly. "Obnoxious!"
..
At eight o'clock the next morning, Su Yan finally woke up. She didn't know what had happened last night, but her mind kept replaying the past that she couldn't bear to look back on. A lot of her long-forgotten worries had also been churned out. She hadn't slept much the entire night, which made her mood very bad. Her emotions were chaotic.
She turned her head to look at the phone next to her pillow and found that the screen of the phone was flashing crazily. In order to not let others disturb her rest, she had deliberately set the phone to silent mode last night and unlocked the phone screen. Su Yan was suddenly stunned. The top left corner of the social app had 99 + messages, which meant that she had at least 99 messages that she hadn't read. For some reason, a bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart, so she hurriedly opened the social app to look.
There were a total of 115 messages, 110 of which were sent to her by Tang Yitong. There were also five messages sent by Jiang Ruoruo to console her mood. She ignored Jiang Ruoruo's concern. Instead, she opened the dialog box with Tang Yitong to see what was wrong with her and why she had sent more than 100 messages.
What surprised her was that from the time of the message, Tang Yitong seemed to have not slept for the entire night. This was because the 110 messages were sent from 2 am until three minutes before she turned on her phone. The last message was: "Hello, Yan Yan, are you okay?"
Su Yan didn't understand what she meant, so she quickly browsed through all the messages and then knew what had happened. She finally understood what Jiang Ruoruo's five carefully probing messages meant. It turned out that while she was sleeping, Wei Zhou had a car accident. She opened her social media account and saw the contents of Lan Jian's messages. She saw the nine photos of Wei Zhou lying in a hospital bed from various angles, as well as those speechless words. Lan Jian's social media account had many followers, so the post spread throughout the entire Jiang Du. Now, everyone who knew Wei Zhou knew that he had been in a car accident.
Although a car accident was unexpected, it wasn't a big deal. After all, countless car accidents happened every day in this world. The only reason why it was so popular was because Wei Zhou was the CEO of Excellent Era Corporation. The main thing was the ridiculous comments.
People dread fame as much as a pig dread being fat. Whether it was Wei Zhou or Lan Jian, they were both young talents in Jiang Du. They were also young entrepreneurs. Naturally, they received a lot of media attention. As a result, after Wei Zhou's car accident was exposed by Lan Jian, not only did it cause an uproar in his circle of friends, but it even appeared on a trending search.
The trending search also caused a commotion on the internet. If it was just a car accident, it wouldn't have ended up like this, but it was unknown who had posted a few photos of Wei Zhou and Su Yan playing golf yesterday on the internet. Combined with the words "dumped" and "death" from the text on Lan Jian's wechat moments, the ordinary car accident had a different meaning.
In just a short night, the popularity of Wei Zhou's car accident had surpassed the popularity of his divorce with Su Yan last year. The media seemed to notice something scandalous from the photos of them playing golf. Therefore, they paid special attention to this matter. However, just as Su Yan was reading, the popularity suddenly began to drop. In just a short fifteen minutes, he had dropped from the top ten of the trending searches. If she hadn't gotten up early, she probably wouldn't have seen this trending search.
Su Yan replied to Tang Yitong, "What does his car accident have to do with me? Of course I'm fine. Moreover, Lan Jian is in the mood to take photos and post them on wechat moments. This means that Wei Zhou is still alive."

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
