Chapter 227: Not Even Entering A Beauty Contest

When there were two people left at the front of the queue, the phone in Song Chuyi’s pocket suddenly rang. He looked at the number and frowned. “Hello…”

“Come to the hospital quickly; Yunyang was stabbed by Yan Changlong…” Song Chulang’s voice was hoarse and deep.

Changqing, who just took out her identity card from her purse, looked up and saw a grave expression on Song Chuyi’s face. There was even some lifelessness in his eyes, as though he had been dealt a severe shock.

Changqing looked at him and had an inexplicable, ominous, feeling.

“Chuchu, who’s that? Did something happen?” She pushed him gently.

Song Chuyi didn’t look at her, only lowering his head and saying in an urgent voice, “I’ll head over immediately.”

The moment Changqing heard that, she was disheartened. “Don’t tell me you’re going to desert me?”

Song Chuyi put the phone down. After a layer of fear surfaced in his deep pupils, they constricted suddenly and the premonition in Changqing grew stronger. She had never seen Song Chuchu at such a loss before.

Sure enough, she heard him say urgently, “Changqing, something happened to Yunyang, I cannot go to the Maldives with you at the moment. Go back home first; I’ll contact you again in a bit.”

After saying that, he ran off towards the entrance of the airport in a hurry without waiting for her reply.

Changqing was dumbfounded. Perhaps it all happened too suddenly.

She fell onto the ground from heaven hard all of a sudden.

She was still fantasizing about their time together in the Maldives earlier. Now, he left her all alone there.

Something happened to Yunyang?

What could have happened to make him so anxious?

However, didn’t his relationship with Yunyang seem quite bad previously?

“Pretty lady, it’s your turn. Do you want to check-in? If mot, can we go first?” a young couple asked. They were huddling together.

Changqing moved away mechanically but her two suitcases were still blocking the way. Changqing dragged the suitcases to the side. The suitcases were very heavy. For some reason, she felt her eyes turning hot suddenly and she wanted to cry.

At that time, her phone in her pocket rang.

Changqing lowered her head to look and saw the two words “Ruan Yang”. She felt a sharp pain in her throat.

She pressed the accept button and Ruan Yang asked her with a smile, “Are you at the airport already?”

“Ruan Yang…” Changqing turned around and sat on her suitcase. Luckily, she was wearing her sunglasses, her hair was let down and no one was watching her. Hence, her eyes reddened and she started choking on her words.

“What happened?” The moment she opened her mouth, Ruan Yang was scared by her. “Don’t tell me… you’re crying?”

Changqing tried hard to take a deep breath and sniffed. She couldn’t cry in public. However, she really couldn’t hold it back. “Chuchu abandoned me at the airport and left. He said that something happened to his sister.”

“What happened?”

“I don’t know. In any case, something happened.” Changqing lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes as she choked.

“…” Ruan Yang was silent. After she thought of words to console Changqing, she quickly said, “That can’t really be helped, right? Something important must’ve happened for him to leave suddenly. Don’t cry yet; try to understand the situation. Since you can’t go today, you can go tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It’s his sister, not his lover. Unlike me, Xin Ziao abandoned me and went back previously because of Zhao Zhu. For your case, at least it’s his family member.”

“Mm, but… I still feel terrible.” Changqing sniffed.

“Changqing, perhaps it was something that endangered her life. Nobody could go on holiday calmly with his wife if something happened at home, right?” Ruan Yang said earnestly, “Stop crying. You’re still at the airport, right? Do you want me to send someone to bring you back?”

“It’s okay. I think my dad shouldn’t have gone far. I’ll give him a call and ask him to come back to pick me up.” Changqing felt she was a little too much for getting upset because she only thought about going out to play until she heard Ruan Yang’s words.

She wiped her tears dry and called Yan Lei.

“Sure, wait around 10 minutes. Dad will be over to get you immediately. If you can’t move your luggage, just stand there. Dad will go over and help you,” Yan Lei said quickly, knowing that his precious daughter must be upset.

“Mm, mm.” Changqing lowered her head and sat on her suitcase like that without saying a word.

When Yan Lei came over and saw his daughter, his heart wrung with pain. Needless to say, his daughter must’ve cried.

“Changqing, Dad is here to pick you up.” Yan Changqing stroked her little head. “Get up quickly; Dad will help you carry your stuff.”

“Mm.” Changqing followed behind him listlessly and got into the car.

Yan Lei said softly, “I gave Chuyi’s dad a call just now and found out that Yunyang was stabbed by someone at the hospital.”

Changqing was in shock. “Then is her life in danger?”

“I think it’s quite serious…” Yan Lei placed both his hands on the steering wheel. “Chuyi’s dad didn’t tell me too much.”

Changqing was in a daze. “Then… should we go take a look at the hospital?”

“Chuyi didn’t say that he would take you over earlier?” Yan Lei glanced at her.

Changqing shook her head. “He left after receiving the call and seemed very anxious.”

Yan Lei’s pupils constricted. “Let’s not head over for the time being… wait for Chuyi to contact you first.”

“Oh…” Changqing lowered her head in desolation.

When she returned to the Yan Household once again, Changqing was completely spiritless. When she woke up earlier, she still wanted to sleep on the plane. Now, she couldn’t even sleep at all.

There were still six days of holidays after that. This was just day one.

Changqing opened her suitcase back in her bedroom. There were sets of clothes, hats and sunglasses that she spent hours matching. She had fantasized about taking photos prettily with the person she liked by the beach.

Now, it seemed like all that wouldn’t be needed.

The more Changqing thought about it, the more terrible she felt. However, thinking that there was a possibility Yunyang’s life could be in danger, she fought back her tears and gave Song Chuyi a call. No one picked up.

She threw her phone aside and lay silently on the bed. In the end, she still let her tears fall accidentally.

She slept until noon when the sound of Shen Lu knocking on the door came from outside. “Changqing, come out for lunch.”

“Alright, I’ll be out.” Changqing climbed up to wash her face. When she saw her red eyes from the bathroom mirror, she quickly washed them with clear water several times.

When she went downstairs and saw Shen Lu, Changqing asked, “Auntie Shen, why did you come?”

“Something cropped up at your dad’s company. He was afraid you would feel terrible being alone at home, so he called me to come over to keep you company. I made all your favorite dishes for lunch.” Shen Lu smiled amiably and looked at her. “You must be upset—were you crying alone upstairs secretly? Your eyes are all red.”

Changqing lowered her head with embarrassment as she picked up her chopsticks. She didn’t think she would get caught.

“It’s okay. In the future, if Chuyi doesn’t accompany you to the Maldives, your dad and I will. When the time comes, we’ll invite your sister along and leave your brother-in-law out so that the two of them don’t agitate you,” Shen Lu said in a joking tone.

Only then did Changqing reveal a smile.

“Eat quickly. After you’re done, come shop with me. I want to get some clothes but haven’t been able to find anything suitable,” Shen Lu said.

“Mm.” Changqing nodded her little head.

After resting for about an hour after lunch, she went out shopping with Shen Lu. On the way, Shen Lu kept talking to her. Changqing also knew Shen Lu did that to keep her mind busy.

They shopped until it was past six. Yan Lei drove over to have dinner with them outside.

After dinner, the three of them went to the theater to watch a comedy. After that, Yan Lei sent Shen Lu back to the Fu Family villa.

It was ten at night when Fu Yu heard the sound of a car approaching. When he saw Changqing in Yan Lei’s car, he was in a daze and went over with a smile to help Shen Lu out of the car. “Did you guys go out on a date as a family without inviting me along now? You made me have dinner all alone at home.”

Yan Lei quickly laughed. “I’ll invite you along next time. Fu Yu, we’ll get going first.”

“Mm, take care on the way back.” Fu Yu waved and watched the car disappear in the distance and suppressed the melancholy in his heart as he asked, “Didn’t you say that Changqing was going to the Maldives with Song Chuyi today? Why was she with you?”

“They didn’t go.” Shen Lu was silent for a while and continued, “It seems like Chuyi’s sister got into an accident and was stabbed by someone at the hospital. Changqing must’ve been a little disappointed; Yan Lei told me to keep her company today.”

“When did Song Chuyi have a sister?” Fu Yu frowned.

“She was adopted by the Song Family.” Shen Lu walked to the door and changed her shoes before saying, “I don’t know if it was very serious. He left her alone at the airport. Your Uncle Yan was a little unhappy too since Changqing is Song Chuyi’s wife, after all. It would’ve been okay to bring her along even if something happened to his sister. Yet he left without a word and there was no news from him either. He just left her alone at the airport and left. However, a life was at stake after all; perhaps he was too anxious. I didn’t see him give Changqing a call at all tonight. I wonder if his sister’s life is in danger.”

Fu Yu’s frown deepened the more he listened on.

Shen Lu lifted her head and glanced at him. When she saw his expression, she said, “Don’t you get any ideas.”

“I’m not. It’s just that we’ve been doting on Changqing since young, and hearing that from you, I feel sorry for her,” Fu Yu said truthfully. “No matter how serious his sister’s condition is, he should’ve still given Changqing a call. This must’ve made her thoughts run wild.”

“Yeah, your Uncle Yan wanted to go over to take a look, but Chuyi didn’t tell Changqing anything and he didn’t really want Changqing to go over at the moment.” Shen Lu nodded.

“I’ll get someone to find out,” Fu Yu said.

“Mm.”

In the Yan Household’s bedroom, Changqing saw that there were still no calls from Song Chuyi and felt a little disappointed. She called Changxin. “Sis, can you help me find out what happened at your hospital today? Dad said that Song Chuyi’s sister was stabbed in the hospital.”

“Didn’t Chuyi tell you about this?” Changxin was a little unhappy hearing that.

“… Mm.” Changqing moved her lips. “Just help me ask; don’t ask Chuchu.”

“Alright.” Changxin hung up and after about 10 minutes, she called back. “There was really a female surgeon who got stabbed at the hospital today. This person was Song Chuyi’s sister, Song Yunyang. I heard it was when she was at work in the morning. A high school student suddenly stabbed her abdomen from behind. Luckily, they were at the hospital and she was sent to the A&E within a few minutes. Otherwise, she would’ve been dead on the spot. She’s still in the ICU now for observation. I think her life isn’t out of danger yet.”

Changqing took in a breath of cold air. To think that the woman who was just sitting beside her last night would’ve encountered such an incident. How unthinkable. “Who did it? She seemed to have only been working at the hospital for a short time. Who could she have offended so drastically?”
