Chapter 133: Chapter 133: That Woman Chapter 133: Chapter 133: That Woman After stepping outside, Shen Yan realised that Qi Si was followed by quite a few bodyguards, each looking skilled in martial arts.

To the uninformed, it might look like they were gearing up for a fight.

On the boat.

Shen Yan, enjoying the sea breeze, ate mangoes that the bodyguards had cut for her.

She asked Qi Si, who was reading a French book beside her, “Mr. Qi, what big business are you looking to negotiate this time?”

Qi Si did not even look up, “Fruit.”

“Uh?”

Shen Yan thought she had heard wrong.

She speared a piece of mango with a toothpick, took a bite, and said, “Fruit business, that’s nice.”

There’s always fresh fruit to eat every season.

Bringing such a group of bodyguards just to negotiate a fruit deal?

Shen Yan couldn’t help but find it… a bit amusing.

“What kind of fruit is it?”

“Durian,” The person opposite her still did not look up.

Shen Yan: “…”

So, it really is a big deal.

She had truly never imagined that Qi Si would be associated with durian.

With his demeanor, selling durians, wasn’t that beneath him?

No sooner had the words left her mouth than the bodyguard named Chen Ben peeled a fresh durian and placed it in front of Shen Yan.

The smell was pungent.

Anyone who disliked such odors would surely feel nauseated on the spot.

Qi Si continued reading without lifting his head, always so engrossed in his reading.

Shen Yan quietly took a piece of the high-quality durian and ate it. It tasted good.

It was that same docking pier.

Shen Yan followed Mr. Qi ashore.

On the shore, a group of people was already waiting with smiles on their faces.

They did not look like fruit traders.

One could tell at a glance that these people were not locals; they must have come from another country to negotiate business with Mr. Qi.

Their Chinese was surprisingly fluent.

The middle-aged man was stunned when he saw the extremely beautiful woman following behind Mr. Qi.

Wasn’t it said that Mr. Qi had never been seen with a woman by his side? Neither money nor beauty, nor anything else could sway him, could they?

Who was she?

The other party’s scrutinizing gaze was so blatant even a blind person would have felt it.

Qi Si’s deep eyes suddenly grew colder.

The middle-aged man shivered and quickly averted his eyes from Shen Yan, “Mr. Qi, shall we sit down and talk?”

Afterward, they went to the leisurely clubhouse where they had discussed things before.

“Mr. Qi, you go ahead with the talk, I’ll take a walk outside.”

Shen Yan saw them sit down and did not join them.

Qi Si turned to look at her, “Don’t go far.”

“I’ll just walk around nearby, send me a message when you’re done talking,” Shen Yan said with a wave of her hand as she walked out.

The middle-aged man watched Shen Yan’s retreating figure in surprise, feeling the temperature around him drop several degrees. He trembled again when he turned back and met Qi Si’s extremely chilly gaze, so scared that he nearly wet himself.

“Mr… Mr. Qi, can we start now…?”

*

Shen Yan borrowed a baseball cap from the bodyguard, put on a mask, pressed down the brim, and walked slowly along the short, man-made shade-lined path against the wind.

There were quite a few tourists in Hai City before the new year, and most of those staying at this time were likely to celebrate the new year here.

Even if going back to Shen City, Shen Yan would only spend the new year with Qi Si, so it didn’t matter to them where they celebrated.

Shen Yan watched the noisy crowd and walked out of the short shaded path.

The weather was exceptionally good today. Shen Yan, away from the entertainment circle and bustle, stood at a high vantage enjoying a moment of tranquility!

“Dada dada…”

Above her head.

A helicopter flew by overhead.

Shen Yan focused her gaze on it.

She saw no signs of anything distinctive.

Her gaze moved in the opposite direction.

She saw a medical team hastily walking past, probably just admitted not long ago.

Remembering the helicopter from last night, Shen Yan followed in that direction.

That place was the only hospital on the island.

Even at times like these, hospitals were bustling with people.

Shen Yan stood not far away, watching the crowded hospital entrance.

She remembered Shen Ning was still inside.

Bai Zhong, now in clean clothes, appeared at the entrance, greeting the incoming medical team alongside someone else.

Shen Yan’s eyes caught sight of the lady in formal attire next to Bai Zhong, aloof and refined. The familiar figure suddenly entered her view without warning.

Shen Yan thought she would be furious, rush forward, and kill that woman.

But she didn’t.

She was eerily calm, even more so than when she encountered Shen Ning here.

Her heart was unnervingly still, far too calm.

Shen Yan could clearly see the anxiety on that woman’s face.

Shen Yan smirked ironically.

Did that woman ever consider that she too was her own flesh and blood? Why treat them so differently with such cruelty!

It was just a cut, and this woman rushed back from abroad in a panic, as if Shen Ning was such a treasure.

Shen Yan couldn’t even recall how many cuts she herself had endured, each one causing her unbearable pain.

How could that woman coldly watch it all happen?

In Shen Yan’s eyes, only Shen Feng and Shen Ning were considered their children; she was nothing but a broken tool.

Shen Yan calmly watched the woman rushing inside, unmoving for a long time.

Who knows how much time passed before Shen Yan walked towards that direction.

Many at the hospital’s entrance peered in, murmuring and guessing who was injured, to warrant such attention.

“I heard it’s a researcher, from the government.”

“So government researchers come here for vacations too.”

“Researchers are humans too.”

“All this fuss, I thought something serious had happened.”

“Just two days ago, there was a boat capsizing, some people weren’t rescued in time, and they chose to save that researcher first.”

“The hospital can’t be that heartless.”

“Who knows…”

Shen Yan directly headed towards the building where surgeries took place, turning the corner and, from a distance of a dozen meters, fixed her gaze on that woman.

That woman, having just exchanged a few words with Bai Zhong, felt something, abruptly looked up, and met Shen Yan’s eyes.

She furrowed her brows slightly, staring at Shen Yan.

Behind her mask, Shen Yan forced a silent, cold smile.

Having seen that look, Shen Yan turned and left.

“Aunt Jian?” Bai Zhong glanced in the direction Jian Yu was looking but saw nothing.

People were bustling through the hospital, rushing around for the patients.

Jian Yu frowned slightly, then shook her head.

Perhaps she had seen wrong.

The gaze that met hers felt like a plunge into an icy cellar for a moment.

It must have been an illusion.

Shen Yan retraced her steps, her pace still unhurried, and midway, she changed direction towards the beach ahead.

Soon, she reached the beach and felt the sea breeze.

Walking on the sand, with the wind brushing her face, Shen Yan’s mind was empty of thoughts.

Her phone buzzed.

Shen Yan took it out, and sure enough, it was a message from Qi Si. She told him her location directly and then continued to enjoy the sea breeze and view.

Not long after, a tall, bamboo-like figure approached from behind, his crisp presence enveloping her with a faint scent of pine.

A weight settled on her shoulder, intensifying his distinct smell.

Shen Yan glanced sideways, smiling, “Have you clinched the durian deal? How much did you sell? Can I take a few baskets back for fans and friends?”

Qi Si looked at her, “Let Uncle Liu take a truck back first.”

Shen Yan’s smile deepened!
