Chapter 405 - It Was Deliberate

A dealer’s wife walked to the side of Xia Yu and said to her in a trembling voice. She must be scared by the scene just now.

Hearing what she said, Xia Yu’s body shook hard. Shen Yan threw himself to her just now in order to save her. He was injured like this, yet she herself was unscathed because he protected her.

Every minute and every second of waiting for the ambulance were a huge torment. Every time she saw the gloomy and grey face of Shen Yan, her tears couldn’t stop flowing out.

Finally, the ambulance arrived there, and Shen Yan was put on a stretcher by the medical staff. Xia Yu staggered and followed him into the ambulance.

After arriving at the hospital, Shen Yan was immediately pushed into the operating room. Xia Yu stood outside and looked at the closed operating room without blinking. The dealer’s wife wanted to hold Xia Yu to sit down, but she shook her head.

Her head was chaotic, and Shen Yan’s grey face consistently showed up. Her heart was tight and painful.

Afterwards, the police came over. The restaurant was on fire, and many people were injured, but the person who suffered the most serious injury was Shen Yan. And he happened to be the second Mister of Shen Group, so the police paid considerable attention to him.

They came over and asked Xia Yu about some things. Xia Yu really didn’t remember anything. At that time, there were cries everywhere, which was too chaotic.

The police saw that there was no favorable evidence which they could get from Xia Yu and said, “If you think of something, give us a call”.

“Think of something? What can we think of?” A dealer said angrily on the side, “We just went there to eat with an impromptu start, and we didn’t run into any conflict with others there.”

He was right. They indeed had an impromptu start, and they were all in business. Businessmen were very particular about being harmonious as harmony created wealth. How could they offend people?

As for Shen Yan and Xia Yu, it was even less likely. They were new here, and they only knew just a few people, so it would be even less possible for them to offend someone.

But the police suspected that someone had deliberately committed arson. They were just unlucky enough to encounter such a problem.

Of course, there were a lot of people who were just as unlucky as them. A child happened to spend his 5th birthday here but ran into a fire. When he was running outside, his legs got injured, and he was also admitted into the hospital.

Another old lady inhaled too much smoke and was sent into the operation room as well.

The entire hospital was in chaos. Cries and anxious footsteps were everywhere. Xia Yu’s eyes were always fixed on the door of the operation room without blinking.

It was unknown how long had passed before there were hurried footsteps behind her. She also heard someone crying and shouting Shen Yan’s name. Xia Yu turned back and saw that Old Madame and Second Madame walked over, and both of them were anxious and worried.

When they were only an armlength away, Second Madame suddenly pounced on Xia Yu and glared at her with great anger while gnashing her teeth. She roared, “You didn’t run away. What were you doing there?”

If Xia Yu hadn’t stood under the lamp, Shen Yan would not have come to save her. If he hadn’t saved her, he wouldn’t have got hurt. Xia Yu should be to blame for everything.

She pushed Xia Yu hard, and the entire body of Xia Yu was pushed to stumble back. She staggered. Her legs were already feeble, and this push made her directly slam into the ground.

The dealer next to her hurried over to hold Xia Yu up and looked at Second Madame who was very angry worriedly. Shen Yan’s injury was due to his act to save Xia Yu indeed, but they were the ones who invited Shen Yan to have dinner. If something bad really happened to Shen Yan, were they going to be blamed as well?

“If something bad happens to Little Yan, I won’t spare you, a mischief-maker!” Second Madame’s eyes were full of hate and anger. She almost wanted to skin Xia Yu alive.

“Miss Xia, I will take you down to check your body.” A dealer’s wife wanted to take Xia Yu away. She didn’t want Xia Yu to continue to be scolded by Second Madame.

Xia Yu shook her head and said, “I am fine, and I don’t have to check my body. I will stay here, and I’m not going anywhere.”

It seemed that a century had passed, and the closed door of the operating room was finally opened. Shen Yan was pushed out.

“The patient is out of danger.”

Hearing the doctor’s words, Xia Yu felt that the heart in her chest finally started to beat again.

Shen Yan was sent to the ward. Xia Yu wanted to go in but was pushed out by Second Madame.

Xia Yu stood at the door and looked through the glass in the door. He still looked pale and was wearing an oxygen mask. Although the doctor said that he was out of danger, she still felt very bad in her mind when seeing his weak look.

At this time, the dealer’s wife once again persuaded Xia Yu to have a check-up. Fortunately, except for some bruises on the body, Xia Yu did not have any other issues, so she was relieved.

“Miss Xia, you must be hungry! I will take you to dinner.” The madame said to Xia Yu.

“I am not hungry. I will go to see Shen Yan. I want to see if he is awake.”

Xia Yu had no appetite at all, and all the thoughts in her head were about Shen Yan. She had to see him waking up so that she could be at ease. The madame couldn’t talk her around and went to buy a takeaway before accompanying Xia Yu to go upstairs again.

But outside the ward, there were two black-clad bodyguards standing at the door, and Xia Yu couldn’t get close. In the end, she could only get to know the condition of Shen Yan from the nurse.

At ten o’clock in the evening, Shen Yan woke up, but it didn’t take long before he fell asleep again.

“He is now in stable condition, and you don’t have to be outside. Go back and have a rest for now!” The nurse told Xia Yu about Shen Yan’s condition before persuading her.

When she heard that Shen Yan woke up, she finally could relieve herself. Her heart which was suspended in the air fell down.

“Miss Xia, now you can rest assured! I will take you back to the hotel.” The madame persuaded her on the side.

Since Shen Yan had already woken up, and the nurse just said that the condition was stable, Xia Yu did not continue to stay here. Also, Old Madame and Second Madame were there, and she could rest assured.

She went back to the hotel and slept after taking a shower. She was later awakened by a nightmare and couldn’t fall back asleep. When she remembered the dream in which Shen Yan was lying in a pool of blood and would not wake up no matter how loudly Xia Yu called him, her heart still palpitated badly.

After dawn, Xia Yu immediately went to the hospital. There were still two cold-faced bodyguards outside the ward. Xia Yu didn’t expect to go in, so she just looked at the man on the hospital bed through the glass. It seemed that he looked better than yesterday.

At eight o’clock in the morning, Second Madame came over with a lunch box in her hand. After seeing Xia Yu, her face immediately became gloomy and cold, and she said, “I won’t let you stay with my son again. He almost lost his life in order to save you. You are a jinx.”

After saying that, she entered the ward. Not long after, Xia Yu heard that Second Madame shouted Little Yan in the ward with ecstasy. Xia Yu immediately stood up from the chair and walked quickly to the door. The two bodyguards turned their gaze at Xia Yu coldly now.

Although she really wanted to go in, she knew that it was useless to ask them. So, Xia Yu quietly stood outside the door and looked through the glass.

His mouth was moving, but she couldn’t hear anything through the glass. Second Madame looked very pale.

After a while, Second Madame came out of the ward and said to the two bodyguards, “Let her come in.”

A moment of happiness went through Xia Yu’s heart, and she immediately entered the ward. She quickly walked to Shen Yan’s side, and at this moment, their eyes met. Her eyes turned red. She opened her mouth and said with a slight break in her voice, “Shen Yan, I am so scared.”

“Now, you know that you’re scared. What were you doing before?” Second Madame was still dissatisfied with Xia Yu, and the words which she said were rather unpleasant.

Xia Yu directly ignored her words. Any mother would not keep calm when encountering such a thing, would she?

“Come closer.” Shen Yan said to Xia Yu.

Although his voice was very weak, his momentum still did not diminish, and others couldn’t refuse him.

Xia Yu secretly glanced at Second Madame. She only saw her back and didn’t know what she was doing. Xia Yu took another step towards Shen Yan.

Shen Yan grabbed Xia Yu’s hand and wrapped it in his palm before saying, “Don’t go anywhere. Stay here.”

As hearing her words, Second Madame became so angry that her face turned pale. She screamed, “Shen Yan, do you want your mom to anger to death?”

Shen Yan pursed his lips and didn’t speak. His face showed a sense of firmness. Second Madame violently left the ward. She would not feel troubled if she didn’t see anything, so she just left the ward.

Xia Yu sat down, and Shen Yan was still grabbing her hand. She looked at the hands that were held together and had a thought that she wanted these hands to be held together for the rest of their lives without ever letting go.

Just at this time, the mobile phone in Xia Yu’s pocket rang. It was from the dealer.

“Miss Xia, how is the condition of Young Master Yan?”

“He has already woken up, and his condition is much better.” Xia Yu described the situation here.

“That’s good! That’s good. By the way, didn’t you say that you wanted to get a batch of goods here? I have the goods ready. Please come over to confirm when you have time. If you have no problem, I will ask someone to send the goods out.” After the greeting, the dealer began to talk about business.

“Well, I will come over shortly.” The goods were for the children, and they had to hurry. Otherwise, it would not be of much use after the season.

After hanging up, Xia Yu looked at Shen Yan. Although she now wanted to stay with Shen Yan here, he was injured, and Liu Sijie was not there, so the company’s business had to be handled by her.

“What happened yesterday is deliberate?” At this time, a layer of frost was condensed on his face. He narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xia Yu said “uh-huh” lightly and rubbed the area between her eyebrows. “The police suspected so initially. But there were a lot of guests that night. It’s not clear whether it was targeting the guests or the owner of the restaurant on earth.”

“It means that we are unlucky.” Shen Yan shook his head. As he saw that Xia Yu’s expression was full of guilt, he took her hand and said with a smile, “Don’t you know that blessings will come to those who have survived a disaster?”

“Stop it!” Xia Yu carefully looked at the door and was relieved as she saw no movement there.

“My mom is too nervous about me. Don’t take it to your heart.” Seeing that Xia Yu was so careful, Shen Yan felt bad in his mind. Her mother’s anger towards Xia Yu was unreasonable indeed, but her temper had been always as such, and he didn’t know what to do with it.

“I know. In fact, it’s my fault. If I hadn’t stood under the lamp, you wouldn’t have got hurt.” Xia Yu would rather hurt herself than Shen Yan.

“Stupid, if you really had the ability to know what was going to happen, we would not have gone to that restaurant.” He smiled and comforted her, “Moreover, you came back just to look for me. How dangerous it was inside! Everyone was running out, and you just ran in alone like a fool. Didn’t you know it could be dangerous?”

He could save Xia Yu regardless of personal danger, but wasn’t Xia Yu the same? The fire inside had already spread out, and she still went back and looked for him resolutely. How could Shen Yan not be touched by this love?

“I didn’t think so much at the time. I only knew that you were not with me, and I wanted to find you.” Was it dangerous? It was indeed dangerous when thinking about it in hindsight. But Xia Yu couldn’t leave him alone at the most dangerous time. She had to stay with him.

“You, you are a little fool!”

Yes, she didn’t think so much. It was also the same for Shen Yan in the situation at that time. He only knew that the light would hit Xia Yu on the head if it fell off. There was only one thought in his heart, and it was that Xia Yu could not be injured.

As for whether he would be injured or not, he really did not think about it. Holding the hand of Xia Yu, he smiled while looking at her. He wanted to hold her hand and grow old with her. There would be no regret in his life if he stayed with her forever.

Time slipped away during their gaze at each other. Xia Yu really wanted to stay with him here, but she had to say to him, “The dealer just called me and said that the goods were ready. They asked me to come there to have a check. If there’s nothing wrong, they’ll send them out.”
