He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Chapter 244 1 step away

Ye Zhenghao finally gave up. In fact, Jiang Yan had come to see Siyi right after the accident, but he naturally wouldn't let him see Siyi. So he specially sent people to monitor Siyi's ward, but unexpectedly, Jiang Yan still managed to find a loophole.

However, he knew that Jiang Yanhui's personality meant she would eventually cause some trouble. Since they were in a room and wanted to have a proper talk, he couldn't just barge in. At least he needed to show his sister some respect.

"Boss, what do we do now?" one of his men asked Ye Zhenghao.

Ye Zhenghao thought for a moment and said, "I'll wait here. You guys go up and find out about Zheng Muyan's situation. Also, send someone back to question the driver who caused the accident. No matter what it takes, I need to get a definite answer. It's definitely not just drunk driving. Find out who the mastermind is!"

"Yes!"

His men hurriedly left, and Ye Zhenghao stood anxiously at the door of the ward, while inside the ward, the scene was quite different.

Siyi remained seated on the bed. Jiang Yanhui's face was somber. After a moment, he simply walked closer to the bedside, bent one leg, and knelt down beside her. He reached out and gently stroked the fine hair on her cheek. Siyi instinctively turned her head away, and his fingers froze in mid-air. He didn't get angry; he simply reached out and firmly grasped the back of her neck. His deep voice was so close, yet so far away, "Where are you hurt?"

Siyi stubbornly raised her neck and reached out to pry his hand away, but as soon as she reached out, Jiang Yanhui had already reached out his other hand and pressed it down. Siyi knew this would be the result, and said expressionlessly, "Jiang Yanhui, what is this?"

"Where are you hurt?" he asked again in that same deep voice.

Siyi was unsure what he was up to, but his expression didn't reveal that he was genuinely worried about her. She could clearly see the sinister glint in his eyes; he seemed to be questioning her more than anything.

What exactly does he want to do?

"Let me go."

She pushed his hand away, somewhat annoyed. "Just say what you have to say. I know the three days you gave me are up, which is why I just told my brother I need to talk to you. If you continue like this, I'll call for help. Do you think my brother can't get in just because the door is locked?"

Jiang Yan sneered, not letting go of her at all, and slowly said, "Do you know? When I heard the news that you were injured, I was terrified. I have never been so panicked before. But when I got to the hospital, I found that your older brother had people guarding the hospital. I didn't want to force my way in, so I waited outside for a whole day."

He paused, a menacing aura gradually gathering around him, and asked, word by word, "But I never expected to receive such news. Why did you and Zheng Muyan get into a car accident? What were you doing in the car at the time? Hmm?"

A hint of disbelief flashed across Siyi's eyes. What was he saying?

What do you mean by "what were they doing in the car at the time"?

What could they have been doing in the car?

She pressed her slightly pale lips together tightly, and after a moment she asked, "Young Master Yan, I really don't know what you mean by that? What do you mean by 'what Zheng Muyan and I did in the car'? What do you think we could have done?"

Jiang Yan reached into her pocket, took the crumpled newspaper out, and threw it in front of her. "What is this? How do you explain it?"

Siyi looked down and saw the crumpled newspaper, but the large red characters on it were still clearly visible and particularly eye-catching.

Although it is crooked and looks quite ugly, it does not affect the actual content of the newspaper at all.

[A lawyer who enjoys thrills had sex while driving and nearly lost his life.]

There was a loud bang overhead, and something rushed up.

Siyi grabbed the newspaper and saw a shocking picture, accompanied by ambiguous words, as well as some old photos of her and Zheng Muyan.

She never knew that gossip media could distort the truth to such an extent; it was simply outrageous!

"Jiang Yan Hui, how many women have you had in your past? You actually believe this kind of thing?"

Siyi raised her eyes, holding the newspaper in her hand. Her gaze met the sharpness in the man's eyes, and she suddenly laughed. "Are you wondering now whether the child I was pregnant with before was yours or mine and my senior brother's? You just presumptuously assume that the child is yours, right?"

Jiang Yan's gaze instantly turned icy cold, but his hand holding Si Yi was trembling. "What are you saying?"

"What am I saying? Don't you think I've hit the nail on the head? Jiang Yanhui, sometimes I think it's really not worth it. Why did I ever fall for a man like you? Or rather, when it comes to playing with emotions, I'm no match for you. My heart could be warmed too. You used to be so good to me..."

For the first time, Siyi laid bare the bloody truth before him, her eyes already brimming with tears. "Jiang Yanhui, the worst thing you could have done was be so good to me, making me take it for granted, making me believe we could be together. So I bravely took that step, thinking we could really be together, but I never imagined that in your heart, the person you loved most was always just yourself. You never gave me even the slightest bit of trust, not even a tiny bit, you were so stingy with it. Whenever something happened, the first person you suspected was always me, instead of calmly investigating the whole story. Maybe you've been hurt a lot, making you so sensitive, but your sensitivity has also hurt me, and you didn't just hurt me a little, you wounded me all over."

With tears streaming down her face, Siyi met his eyes and said, word by word, "Jiang Yanhui, these are the words I said today. I, Ye Siyi, will never forgive you in my life. From now on, I will have nothing to do with you anymore. Whether you believe it or not, I will never have a single thought of you again. Go."

Jiang Yan's beautiful profile grew increasingly gloomy, her thin lips pressed tightly together, and a hidden undercurrent was visible in her slightly furrowed brows.

He gripped the back of her neck tightly, forcing her face close to his, and asked through gritted teeth, "What are you saying?"

This face was the handsome one she had longed for day and night.

In fact, during the time they were apart, she would think of the good things he had done for her every night, and only those good things were enough to convince herself to forget his bad deeds time and time again.

But now, she is unmoved; nothing is more unacceptable than such accusations.

She didn't misjudge him; she never truly understood him.

Siyi said matter-of-factly, "I've made myself clear. Jiang Yanhui, didn't you tell me to have an abortion before? Now I'm telling you, I lost this baby in the car accident, so you don't need to worry anymore. I will never have anything to do with you again. I don't want to see you again. Go away!"

Jiang Yan's hand trembled, and her heart trembled along with it. "What...did you say? The child...is gone?"

When he said those words, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he knew that he deserved to endure this pain.

"Yes."

Siyi didn't hesitate at all. At this moment, she should go with the flow and nod calmly, "The child is gone. If you don't believe me, you can of course check my medical records. But Young Master Yan, I think you should just give up. This child may not even be yours, so why are you so concerned?"

Siyi finished speaking as if nothing had happened, but a dull pain lingered in her heart. She never imagined that she could lie so skillfully.

Baby……

Mom will definitely stay by your side.

I will always stay by your side...

Jiang Yan's eyes turned icy cold; the depths of her gaze held no trace of tenderness. "Ye Siyi, do you have to say this? Do you really have to say this? Do you think I wanted this? That child, I..."

"Isn't this what you wanted?"

Siyi's eyes widened, tears streaming down her face. She looked at the man whose tone was almost mournful, but he spoke in an even more cruel tone: "We're even now. We'll have nothing to do with each other anymore. You can leave now, or I'll call for help."

A sharp pain spread to every cell.

Jiang Yan's breathing gradually became rapid.

He seemed to be about to say something when his phone rang; it was another of his personal phones.

Fearing interference with the results of his investigation with Nie Junwei, he specially switched to a space-age phone so that his calls wouldn't be monitored.

When his phone rang, he knew it must be news from Nie Junwei.

He felt like a headless fly before, but now that he had the news, it was like he had finally found a way out. He eagerly took out his phone and answered it. He didn't know what the person on the other end said, but after a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Send me all those documents when I get back... Yes, I'm going back now."

He hung up the phone and turned around, only to see Siyi already lying on the bed, turned to her side, her back view all alone.

A wave of desolation washed over him.

He didn't know what was wrong with him today. In fact, when he saw the report just now, he didn't completely believe it.

But recently, too many things have happened, and he feels that he can't control his temper, especially with her and Zheng Muyan. Coupled with her lukewarm attitude just now, it completely enraged him, and some words just blurted out.

What am I actually doing?

Doesn't he understand her?

How could she possibly be that kind of woman?

But now, he feels like he's pushed this woman even further away, now she says she doesn't even have the child anymore...

Although he had wanted her to abort the child from the beginning, now that it was gone, he felt as if the only thread connecting the two of them had been severed...

"Sisi..."

"Big brother!"

As soon as Jiang Yan opened her mouth, Si Yi shouted twice at the door. Ye Zhenghao, who was standing outside the door, heard this and immediately inserted the key he had just gotten from the nurse into the keyhole and pushed the door open.

"Jiang Yan, you should leave now." Ye Zhenghao said rudely as soon as he entered the room.

Jiang Yan Hui didn't even glance at Ye Zheng Hao. His deep gaze remained fixed on the woman on the bed. After a long while without receiving a response from him, Ye Zheng Hao stepped forward angrily, grabbed his collar, and said, "Jiang Yan Hui, are you planning to fight me again in the hospital? I know I can't beat you, but this time, unless you kill me, I will absolutely not let you take Si Yi away. Do you hear me?"

Jiang Yan did indeed intend to take Siyi away, but he knew that this idea was unrealistic.

He knew that his words had hurt her.

He wanted to apologize, but the words stuck in his throat, and several people around him were eyeing him menacingly, ready to kick him out.

Now, he figured that Nie Junwei must have received some news.

After he goes back and investigates everything thoroughly, he will be able to get over his conscience.

Jiang Yanhui, however, was unaware at this moment that Ye Siyi had said something that was absolutely true: the person you love most is yourself.

You only think about getting over that hurdle in your heart, but have you ever thought about how much you missed in the process of getting over that hurdle?

How many people's weaknesses have you stepped on?

He reached out and pushed Ye Zhenghao's hand away, but still didn't look at him. He just said to Siyi's thin back on the bed, "Wait for me. I will investigate everything. If anyone wants to hurt you, I will not let him get away with it."

Ye Zhenghao sneered, "Jiang Yanhui, don't say such things. It's best for her that you don't come looking for Siyi. You should leave! She'll definitely be better off without you."

Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and thought, "If it were before, would I have tolerated Ye Zhenghao's provocation like this?"

But now, he suddenly felt that if he said or did anything more, it would only push this woman further away from him, and wasn't the truth he needed already within reach?

He believed that once he had investigated the matter thoroughly, all the problems would be resolved.

He gazed intently at Siyi's retreating figure, silently saying to her in his heart, "Give me some time."

He thought that just a little bit would be enough, and then walked out of the ward without looking back.

In her twenty-odd years of life, Jiang Yanhui has never backed down for a complete stranger.

At least for now, in his mind, Ye Zhenghao is that completely unrelated person, and still a man.

He thought that by taking this step back, he was heading towards the truth, but he later realized that wasn't the case.

The step he took back created an immeasurable distance between him and her...
