Chapter 638 - Blooming Flowers Have Withered Away
Chapter 638 Blooming Flowers Have Withered Away
In Xiao Yunyun's apartment in the city center.
Xiao Yunyun had slept for a whole day.
When she opened her eyes, the sun was already setting outside the window. If it was not for the "afternoon" displayed on her mobile phone, she almost thought it was early in the morning.
It was exactly the evening rush hour.
On the road before the apartment building, private cars were speeding like arrows on the driveway. The buses and the sidewalk were also crowded with people who were getting home after work.
It was a big city where people had different lifestyles. Not everyone, like her, could only face the emptiness and darkness after returning home and opening the door.
There would always be some people whose families were waiting for them and cared about them behind the door. At least, there would be hot meals for them.
Thinking of that, Xiao Yunyun stretched herself in front of the window.
She envied those people.
As she was lost in thoughts, the doorbell gently rang.
Except for Su Yunjin, there was no one else who would come here.
She went out and opened the door. As expected, it was Su Yunjin who had just left in the morning. She stood outside the door, with a supermarket shopping bag in her hand.
"Mom?" Because it was as she expected, Xiao Yunyun was even more surprised. "Why did you..." "Come again?"
Su Yunjin raised the bag in her hand and said, "I'm here to cook for you."
Xiao Yunyun widened her eyes in surprise. "Really?"
"Yes." Su Yunjin said while changing her shoes, "I used to be too busy in Australia, but now I'm free. I'll make a good meal for you." Then she took out an express delivery paper bag from the shopping bag. "I happened to get your express delivery downstairs, and I brought it to you."
Xiao Yunyun took the paper bag and looked at the description on it. "Oh." She said while opening it, "It's a medical magazine I subscribed."
She took out the magazine and tore off the plastic wrap. She randomly turned to a certain page and saw a strange but familiar face. Subconsciously, she let out an exclamation and stared at the photo in the magazine.
Su Yunjin asked, "Did you find anything?"
Xiao Yunyun showed the magazine to Su Yunjin and pointed to a photo of a foreign old man on it. "I saw this man in my cousin-in-law's private hospital a few days ago. At that time, I felt that he was familiar, but I couldn't remember his name. It turns out that he is the authoritative American expert in brain science. His name is Henry. I heard that he insisted on studying a very rare genetic disease. I admire him very much!"
When talking about the authoritative experts in the medical field, even if it was not the field of cardiac surgery, Xiao Yunyun's eyes always sparkled with admiration.
However, Su Yunjin could not help feeling her scalp numb.
Because Xiao Yunyun was pointing to old Henry, who used to be Jiang Ye’s doctor and now had come to specially take care of Shen Yuechuan.
Shen Yuechuan was worried that Xiao Yunyun might recognize Henry, but they thought that they would be lucky enough because Xiao Yunyun was not working in the private hospital.
"Now it seems that we really can't rely on luck."
Xiao Yunyun vaguely noticed that there was something wrong with Su Yunjin's expression, but she simply thought that the latter was not interested in the medical field. So she closed the magazine and said, "If I meet my cousin-in-law someday, I must ask him how he invited this master!"
Su Yunjin just replied with a smile.
Xiao Yunyun threw the magazine on the coffee table and held Su Yunjin's hand. "Let's not talk about it. What will we eat tonight?"
Su Yunjin looked at Xiao Yunyun gently, with her voice being somewhat hollow. "You will know when I'm done."
Xiao Yunyun thought that Su Yunjin deliberately kept it a secret. "Oh," she said, "What can I do for you?"
Su Yunjin tried her best to fake a flawless smile and said, "No, just wait for dinner."
After that, she picked up the bags and went into the kitchen. When she closed the door, her facial features almost crumbled.
She knew Xiao Yunyun too well. She was a curious child. If she mentioned asking Lu Boyan, she would definitely take the opportunity to ask him.
The key point was that Lu Boyan didn't know that Henry was doing research in the hospital. If he asked Shen Yuechuan about it, Shen Yuechuan might not be able to keep his disease a secret anymore.
"What should I do?"
After thinking for a while, Su Yunjin decided to contact Shen Yuechuan and ask him to come up with a good idea in advance so that he could deal with this matter in the future.
As Su Yunjin dialed Shen Yuechuan's number, Xiao Yunyun was wandering in the living room outside.
But after a moment, she found that she really couldn't find anything to do.
"How about seeing Mom cook?"
She had seen Su Yunjin in a suit fight in the business circle, but she had never seen her cook in her apron.
The contrast should be very interesting!
Xiao Yunyun hopped and pushed open the door of the kitchen. "Mom!"
Almost at the same time, Shen Yuechuan's voice came from Su Yunjin's cell phone. "Hello?"
When the two voices overlapped, Su Yunjin's expression changed instantly. She hurriedly signaled to Shen Yuechuan on the other side of the phone, "Yunyun, I'll make a phone call."
When Shen Yuechuan heard Su Yunjin mention Xiao Yunyun, he stopped talking. Su Yunjin strode quickly to the balcony of the kitchen and closed the door.
Looking at Su Yunjin's strange expression and actions, Xiao Yunyun vaguely realized that the person who was talking to Su Yunjin on the phone should be Shen Yuechuan.
She was Su Yunjin's daughter, and Su Yunjin dared to talk about any big business secrets in front of her. But at this moment, she suddenly avoided making the phone call. It must be because Su Yunjin couldn't let her know that the person she contacted was Shen Yuechuan.
If that was the case, it should be because of her that Su Yunjin delayed announcing that Shen Yuechuan was her brother.
She used to clearly show that she liked Shen Yuechuan, which should be Su Yunjin's biggest concern.
Su Yunjin and Shen Yuechuan had been separated from each other for so many years. She should be very eager to hear Shen Yuechuan call her mom. Also, Shen Yuechuan didn't see his mom until he was more than 20 years old. He must also want to reunite with his family.
Because of her, Su Yunjin was so cautious that she couldn't even recognize Shen Yuechuan as her son. She even had to cook the steamed fish for Shen Yuechuan in the name of others in Su Jian'an's house.
Xiao Yunyun walked out of the kitchen and sat on the sofa in a daze. Suddenly, she felt that she could not make things go on like this.
Sooner or later, she would call Shen Yuechuan brother. She would rather face it than waste time!
However, she couldn't rush to the balcony and call Shen Yuechuan 'brother'. How could she convince them that she really didn't like Shen Yuechuan anymore?
After thinking for a long time, the helper's name emerged in Xiao Yunyun's mind—Qin Han.
As long as Qin Han was willing, her method would be perfect, even better than the operation Doctor Liang had done in the morning!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunyun's mood instantly improved. She leaned on the sofa and leisurely read her medical magazine.
On the balcony, Su Yunjin had already told Shen Yuechuan what had happened.
Shen Yuechuan also did not expect Xiao Yunyun to find Henry so early. After thinking for a long time, he said, "I will handle it. The key is, don't panic and don't expose yourself."
"I know." Su Yunjin nodded and said, "Don't worry."
She hung up the phone and could finally cook for Xiao Yunyun at ease.
Su Yunjin didn't often cook, so she could not cook very fast. After more than an hour, three dishes and one soup were ready. She asked Xiao Yunyun to come in and serve the dishes.
Xiao Yunyun had an indelible enthusiasm for food. As soon as she heard Su Yunjin's voice, she rushed into the kitchen and helped serve the meal.
The meal was seasoned lightly, and even the soup was very light-flavored crucian tofu soup.
Xiao Yunyun filled the bowls with rice and asked, "Mom, why didn't you cook steamed fish today?"
Su Yunjin was stunned when she took off her apron, but soon she covered it up. "Didn't you taste the steamed fish last time? So I cooked other dishes for you this time. Do you like to eat steamed fish?"
Xiao Yunyun smiled and nodded. "I like the steamed fish cooked by you!"
Su Yunjin picked up a piece of tofu for Xiao Yunyun and said, "I'll cook it for you next time."
Of course, Xiao Yunyun was very happy to hear this. She nodded hard and said, "OK!"
Compared with the relaxation and joy between Su Yunjin and Xiao Yunyun, Shen Yuechuan, who was in Lu Enterprises, pulled a long face.
Henry was obviously a brain surgeon without connections to cardiac surgery. How could Xiao Yunyun, that wicked girl, even know about Henry?
Was there anything wrong with her brain?
Shen Yuechuan quickly stopped thinking about it. Now, he really should consider how to explain it to Lu Boyan if Henry's research was revealed by Xiao Yunyun.
Lu Boyan already knew that Su Yunjin was his mother.
However, he did not know if Su Yicheng knew the cause of his father's death.
If Su Yicheng knew it, he would soon realize why Henry would do research in the hospital.
As soon as Su Yicheng told Lu Boyan about it, his illness would not be a secret anymore. Lu Boyan would definitely fire him and let him go to the hospital.
He didn't want to get sick, and he didn't want to stay in a hospital even more.
Now, he had no way to stop the former, so he could only try his best to stop the latter.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuechuan sent a message and asked someone to keep an eye on Xiao Yunyun. In case she went to the private hospital and contacted Henry, he would be informed immediately.
A week later, Shen Yuechuan received a phone call. The voice of the other side revealed that he was in a dilemma. "Special Assistant Shen, you asked me to notice whether Xiao Yunyun contacts Henry or not. The answer... I don't know if I should tell you."
Shen Yuechuan faintly had a bad feeling. "Nonsense. Just say it!"
"In the past few days, Xiao Yunyun has indeed been in contact with someone. However, this person is not Henry, but another man!"
"A man?"
Shen Yuechuan narrowed his eyes. "Who?"
"Well... Qin Han, the young master of the Qin family."
"..."
Sure enough, it was Qin Han.
Shen Yuechuan didn't say anything, but he had clenched his fists quietly.
The other side added, "The two of them... Seem to be very close. Every time they meet, it's like a date. They seem to be a couple. Do you understand?"
"What else?" Shen Yuechuan almost squeezed out the two words through his teeth.
"Nothing." The other side said, "I just want to tell you that your 'sister' may be in love with Qin Han!"
"Not..."
Shen Yuechuan wanted to say that it was not possible, but the remaining word was stuck in his throat.
How could it be not possible?
Xiao Yunyun had already grown up, and she could have fallen in love with anyone long ago. Even if it was not Qin Han, it could be Dr. Xu, or someone else.
There would always be a man who would take her away from him.
He didn't want to face it, but it didn't mean that it wouldn't happen.
Shen Yuechuan could still remember the time when he fell in love with Xiao Yunyun. It seemed that there was a splendid sea of flowers in his heart. He found every corner of the world particularly beautiful and pleasant, and he was also very energetic in everything he did.
But now, he felt as if his whole body had been hollow.
The sea of flowers, which had been blooming in the bottom of his heart, had already withered away, leaving behind only a barren and yellow land of desolation.
