Chapter 283 - Vermin Again?

No matter how anxious Ji Yan was, he had no choice but wait now. And he was even more desirous than the government so that he could make up some loss. Soon after, the government informed him that someone was willing to take over the project. But he did not expect that this person would be Shen Xinglan.

“Say it again? Who will you give the project to??” Ji Yan asked and took hold of the collar of the person opposite him.

The person who was in charge of this issue on behalf of the government was shocked. He asked, “Director Ji… Director Ji, what’s wrong with you?”

“Why?” Ji Yan said and loosened his grip on him. Ji Yan punched the table and said, “Why is it him?”

The representative tidied up his clothes, and there was some disdain in his heart. He thought, “Since you can’t do it, then let someone else do it.”

“Let me explain, Director Ji. The people of the Shen family said that they would take over the development of this project and they would minimize the possible losses. They also promised to build a port in the present place. In this way, we don’t need to tear down the present supporting facilities.”

Ji Yan shouted incredulously, “That’s impossible! What can he do?”

“We don’t know about that. Anyway, after you sign, the project will be handed to the Shen family. You’ll get the money back and the future matters will have nothing to do with you.”

Ji Yan took the pen and shook his hands, then finally signed his name.

“I’d like to know what he can do!” he said, leaving some words unwillingly behind when he left.

He didn’t know that once he left, the other door opened, and Shen Xinglan came out from inside.

“Director Shen!” the representative said. The attitude of the representative changed immediately. He respectfully handed over the contract and said, “Please take a look. If there’s no problem, then you can sign it.”

Shen I took the contract and then put it back onto the table two minutes later. He said, “BOSS, no problem.”

“Director Shen’s subordinate is meticulous as expected, hahaha!” The representative said, “If I had known it earlier, I would have handed this project to you directly at the beginning so that both of us could be saved from these troubles now.”

Shen Xinglan signed it as he curved his lips. He said, “You’re welcome. But there is something I hope you can pay attention to.”

“Just tell me!” After dealing with this project, the representative was in a quite good mood. He said, “As long as it will not violate the discipline, we will definitely help you.”

“It is impossible to find a way to clean up the mess every time. The next time you bid, you’d better check clearly. If the company is not qualified, then don’t submit it.”

“Especially a new company like the Ji Corp, which is not influential…”

“Ah! I understand, I understand!” the representative answered and nodded immediately. “We will pay attention, and will not make the same mistake in the future.”

This meant that Ji Yan would no longer get the government’s projects, which made him lose a large piece of fat. And what was more dangerous now was that the bank would not lend him money without the port project.

“Wei Meng said she would go to talk with the migratory birds. Where are you going to have her get these birds to do?”

It was rare for Yaya to sleep early in the evening, and two people took the time to walk in the small garden behind the villa.

“Near our hot spring manor, the one on the coast, there is a wetland, which is just right for birds.”

The weather at the end of May was neither hot nor cold, even the wind was warm and gentle. The wind blew over the roses filling the garden then passed through the garden, touching the two people, and brought a burst of aroma.

“If our life could be like this every day, that would be perfect,” A Miao said and took a deep breath. “I hope that no one will bother us.”

Shen Xinglan lowered his head and kissed her hair. He said, “I just want to be with you.”

“Hey!” A Miao looked up and smiled.

“During the few years after you left, I went to bed and to the company, and had meals every day. Nothing was changed. The only thing that changed is that you were gone…” Shen Xinglan said, with his eyes fixed on her.

A Miao saw the reflection of her body in his eyes, which was so clear and special.

“So in addition to secretly visiting you, I also would go to the places you had been to, eat the dishes you loved, and do what you loved to do,” Shen Xinglan said, with his forehead against her.

“At the time, I didn’t know what my behavior meant. I just thought it would make me feel closer to you. Later, I knew that it was a kind of feeling, a feeling that urged me to live the life of my lover.”

A Miao held back tears and laughed at him. She said, “So you took pictures of me and talked to your phone every day.”

“Interesting…” Shen Xinglan answered. He knew that she must have read his phone, but the two never talked about it.

It was probably because the moonlight this night was so beautiful and so gentle that they couldn’t help wanting to confess their affection for each other.

“The only thing I am worried about now is Yaya.”

Shen Xinglan poked her head and said, “Stop worrying yourself! I’ve said that I won’t let anything happen to Yaya!”

“I can’t help worrying about the vermin in her body…” A Miao said, hugging his waist. “She is our only daughter.”

“Are you trying to remind me?” Shen Xinglan answered and hugged her. “So perhaps we should skip the condoms?”

A Miao blushed, knowing that he was talking about not using contraception.

“Too soon.”

Shen Xinglan also understood what she meant. Yaya was just over a year old, and having a second baby now would be a distraction.

“Let’s wait for Yaya to grow! Anyway, we have to have a son.”

A Miao wondered what she should do if the second child would be a daughter again. Should she give birth again and again until she had a son?

“Silly!” Shen Xinglan knew much about this little woman, who loved to indulge in flights of fancy, and he said, “We still have Chu Bai. Then, we’ll marry him to our daughter, and make him work for us.”

“Have you ever thought about how Chu Bai feels…” A Miao smiled embarrassedly and said, “Well! Anyway, it is nothing but an idea.”

“There is one thing at the moment that you need to make a decision about.”

A Miao found his expression quite serious, so she replied seriously as well, “Tell me.”

“A Min…” Shen Xinglan said. And then he saw that she didn’t look good when she heard the name, so he didn’t want to continue.

A Miao sighed and said, “Just say it!”

“Since Ai Wa was killed, he’s been unconscious all the time. I already got him out and he is now in the hospital.”

“Why would he be unconscious?” A Miao asked and frowned, “Had he been provoked?”

Shen Xinglan looked at his watch and took her to the house. He said, “He shouldn’t be. The guard said that he didn’t find out about Ai Wa’s death. When they found him, he had already fainted in the cell.”

“Since he can’t wake up, whether I go or not will make no difference,” A Miao said indifferently.

Shen Xinglan kissed the corner of her lips and said, “I am not asking you to go. Do you remember that I said that there was something wrong with him? A Min was not like this previously. We suspected that he was being controlled by something.”

“You guys?” A Miao said in amazement, “You and Yu Sihan?”

“That is not the point,” Shen Xinglan said, touching her face. “Do you think your mother will love A Min now?”

“Would the daughter of a high-society family fall in love with such a cowardly man with no sense of principle…”

“Actually, only your features look similar to him,” Shen Xinglan continued, “One’s temperament can affect the appearance of a person, and now A Min looks totally different from you.”

A Miao kept silent and after a while, they all entered the room, she then whispered, “Then… I will go and visit him.”

In the afternoon of the next day, Shen Xinglan took her to the hospital.

“Where is Yaya?” Le Yi said. He was waiting for them at the hospital entrance.

“Ling Lang is at home with her!” A Miao answered. She didn’t want to bring Yaya to the hospital.

Le Yi sighed and said, “OK. Let’s go!”

Shen Xinglan arranged a ward on the top floor for A Min that was not open to the public, and he also asked Le Yi to treat A Min.

“Still no reaction,” Le Yi said while pushing open the door of the ward. “His brain has entered a state of suspended animation, and normally, we call people like this vegetables.”

A Miao slowly walked over and looked at the man in the bed.

A Min, who was now lying quietly, looked more like A Miao than before. With his pale beautiful face and closed eyes, he looked as if he was just sleeping.

“I remember that I did the exam in the beginning, and you said that I lost part of my memory,” A Miao said to Le Yi.

Le Yi understood what she meant so he said, “Then he has to wake up first. When his brain is not awake, there is no way to check it.”

“By the way… Do you think that his situation is quite similar to that of those affected by vermin?” A Miao suddenly said, “If it was Ai Wa who gave him a vermin, then was the reason for his unconsciousness Ai Wa’s death, which influenced the Child Vermin within his body?”

Shen Xinglan and Le Yi looked at each other, and Shen Xinglan said, “Maybe. It was Ai Wa who saved him at sea and probably the woman took that chance to put the vermin in his body when he was in a coma.”

“Then, where did the vermin come from?” A Miao asked with her eyes lit up. “Didn’t you say that Yu Sihan was also suspecting that A Min was being controlled? Also, why did Yu Sihan want to kill Ai Wa?”

Le Yi looked at Shen Xinglan and then turned to A Miao. Finally, he shook his head and said, “You will soon become Shen Xinglan No.2!”

“How could I be as savage as him!” A Miao answered and laughed, “So that everything would be reasonable.”

Shen Xinglan hugged her with a look of sharing her glory. He said, “In this case, we will ask Master Xu to come to take a look.”

Xu Shiguang was still at the border. Once receiving the call and knowing that it might be related to vermin, he rushed back without stopping. He took the blood of A Min and touched over A Min’s body.

After that, he said with certainty, “It’s a vermin, but… it’s dead.”

Everyone was in front of the hospital bed, and their feelings were a bit complicated, especially A Miao. She hated vermin so much.

“Do you know the exact location?” Le Yi frowned and asked, “We have taken X-rays and found nothing.”

Xu Shiguang pointed to A Min’s head and said, “In the mind. It should be very small. I suggest using the most advanced technology to find a way to look into his brain.”

“Shall I arrange it?” Le Yi asked Shen Xinglan.

The latter looked at A Miao and said, “We’d better wait…”

Xu Shiguang was expecting to take it out early so that he could study it. He was about to urge them but he was stared at by Le Yi.

“Why do you have to wait?” When both Shen Xinglan and A Miao went away, he dared to speak out.

Le Yi looked at A Min lying in bed and said, “Maybe for him, being awake is more painful…”

On their way driving home, A Miao was quite silent.

“Are you thinking about letting him sleep forever.” Shen Xinglan took her hand and gave a little bite on it. “Will it be a better choice?”

A Miao lowered her head and said slowly, “If he wakes up and learns what he has done, it would be very painful.”

“If he loved my mother-in-law as I have loved you, then he would suffer and want to turn to death.”

“What should I do?” A Miao asked, covering her head with her hand. “Would it be too cruel to let him sleep forever…”

Shen Xinglan changed the direction of their car and said, “Let’s go to a place and listen to others’ opinions!”
