Chapter 582 The Attention is Actually Cheap

The next day, in Lu Enterprises.

Lu Boyan arrived at the company on time. When he pa.s.sed by Shen Yuechuan’s office, he saw that Shen Yuechuan was already working.

He knocked on the gla.s.s door, and Shen Yuechuan raised his head and looked at him doubtfully.

“Come to my office,” Lu Boyan said, “I have something to tell you.”

Shen Yuechuan stood up and followed Lu Boyan into the president’s office. As soon as he closed the door, he asked, “What do you want to tell me?”

“Two things related to Yunyun.” Lu Boyan went around the desk and pondered for a moment before saying, “I want to arrange Yunyun to work in the company’s hospital.”

Shen Yuechuan’s heart skipped a beat. “She agreed?”

If Xiao Yunyun agreed, Shen Yuechuan’s plan that was supposed to be carried out was bound to be interrupted.

Lu Boyan firmly believed him that he had the full authority to deal with the hospital’s matters. That was why Shen Yuechuan had been able to arrange for Henry to enter the hospital directly and a.s.sign a.s.sistants for Henry to continue his research on Shen Yuechuan’s illness.

The entire hospital, from nurses to the head of the academy, all thought that Henry was a top expert who was invited here by Lu Boyan with a great deal of money. No one knew that Henry did all the research for him.

Of course, Shen Yuechuan did not think that he could hide it from Lu Boyan forever. But he was confident that he could conceal it completely for a short period of time.

However, if Xiao Yunyun worked in the hospital, it would not be so easy for him to do something secretly.

For Shen Yuechuan, it was not a piece of good news.

Lu Boyan thought that Shen Yuechuan was nervous because of Xiao Yunyun, so he deliberately kept Shen Yuechuan’s interest. “Do you want her to agree or refuse?”

“Since when did you also like to play this kind of game?” Shen Yuechuan urged impatiently, “Did Yunyun agree or not?”

Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows. “She didn’t refuse.”

“…” Shen Yuechuan felt like there was a thunderclap coming from the blue sky.

If Xiao Yunyun went to work at the company’s hospital, he would have a few more chances to see Xiao Yunyun. But G.o.d knew that compared to seeing Xiao Yunyun, he wanted to hide his illness from Xiao Yunyun more!

Just when Shen Yuechuan was frowning, Lu Boyan went on to say, “But she didn’t agree, either.”

“…” Shen Yuechuan suddenly felt that he had been fooled. He frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”

“She said that she wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination after the interns.h.i.+p,” Lu Boyan said truthfully, “so, she did not refuse to go to the company’s hospital. But in recent years, she probably won’t go.”

“She wants to continue studying?” Shen Yuechuan’s look became complicated. He couldn’t fathom the feeling at the bottom of his heart for a while and almost subconsciously asked, “Did she say which school she wants to apply for?”

“She may apply for a school in the United States. That’s what I want to tell you,” Lu Boyan said word by word. “Also, if Yunyun leaves this time, she might never come back.”

The reason why Xiao Yunyun wanted to apply for a school in the US was somehow related to Shen Yuechuan.

If Lu Boyan didn’t make the wrong guess, once Xiao Yunyun went abroad for further study, she would definitely not come back to City A after graduation.

Otherwise, she would not have left with such a vague answer last night.

Shen Yuechuan’s lips opened, as if he wanted to ask her to stay.

However, so what if he kept Xiao Yunyun here? The fact that she was his sister would never change.

In the end, Shen Yuechuan only bitterly raised the corner of his mouth and said to himself, “She won’t come back. It’s a good choice.”

Xiao Yunyun was still young. The United States, for her, was a world wider than City A. In that place, she could fly freely. Or, she would meet a person she really liked, and that person would accompany her and spend the rest of her life in the way she liked.

If that was the case, Shen Yuechuan would be at ease.

In this way, it was better for Xiao Yunyun not to come back.

Otherwise, Shen Yuechuan would fall into pain and despair every time he saw Xiao Yunyun. This kind of feeling… was actually not very good.

Lu Boyan looked at Shen Yuechuan with a touch of suspicion. “Don’t you intend to let Yunyun know the truth?”

“The truth is too absurd.” Shen Yuechuan shook his head. “Don’t let her know for the time being. When the right time comes, I will tell her.” It meant that others should not intervene in the affairs between him and Xiao Yunyun.

Lu Boyan and Shen Yuechuan had a tacit understanding of each other for many years, so he naturally understood the meaning of Shen Yuechuan, and s.h.i.+fted the topic back to work.

Perhaps what he said was right about Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun’s affairs, no one could help them except themselves.

After talking about work, Shen Yuechuan left the president’s office with several doc.u.ments, and returned to his office to continue working.

Shen Yuechuan had always felt that once he started working, time would pa.s.s at the speed of running water. When he finished his work, it was already past eight o’clock in the evening. He turned off the computer and sat in the office chair, only to find himself exhausted.

Perhaps it was because he was tired, he didn’t know what to do next. He went downstairs to get the car but didn’t know where to go, so he simply sat in the car to smoke.

The expensive cigarette was burning between his fingertips, and Shen Yuechuan was smoking it from time to time. Even though he opened the window, the smell of cigarettes still quickly filled the whole car, just like the memories that were related to Xiao Yunyun lingered in his mind. He couldn’t get rid of them.

Thinking of Xiao Yunyun, Shen Yuechuan suddenly felt that everything else was boring. When he was about to light the second cigarette, his cell phone suddenly rang, and the screen showed the name of an executive of the company.

He thought it was about work, so he picked up the phone. But he heard the other side ask puzzledly, “Special personal a.s.sistant Shen, why did you park the car on the aisle? Did the car break down?”

Shen Yuechuan then discovered that after he drove out of the parking s.p.a.ce, his car had been staying on the road and had completely blocked the road behind him.

Fortunately, it was not the peak hours of work. Otherwise, he would have been scolded badly.

“Sorry, I had something to do just now.”

Shen Yuechuan put down the cigarette and skillfully started the car and drove out of the parking lot. Not long after, the phone rang again.

He thought it was the company’s senior management, so he put on his Bluetooth headset and answered the phone, “Don’t tell me that I’m still blocking your way.”

“Yuechuan, it’s me.” Su Yunjin’s voice came from the receiver.

Shen Yuechuan was stunned, and with the evening breeze pouring in from the window, his voice sank: “What’s the matter?”

“Henry contacted me just now,” Su Yunjin said. “He wants you to go to the hospital first for a full-body examination.”

“… I see.”

In addition, Shen Yuechuan also knew that Henry contacted him through Su Yunjin on purpose.

Obviously, Shen Yuechuan didn’t like Su Yunjin’s deliberate contact. He even wanted to tell Su Yunjin that Henry could contact him directly the next time he had anything for him.

But after thinking about it, Shen Yuechuan still swallowed those words.

The reason… he didn’t want to think about it for the time being.

Su Yunjin didn’t want to end the call so soon, so she asked, “When will you go there?”

Shen Yuechuan thought about the schedule of the next few days in his mind. “Recently, I only have time after work tomorrow. I can go tomorrow.”

“I’ll go with you.” Su Yunjin said.

Shen Yuechuan thought about it and still refused. “No. I am not sure when I can get off work. I can go there by myself.”

Su Yunjin could tell that Shen Yuechuan was actually not willing to let her accompany him.

She changed the subject. “I heard the wind. Are you driving?”

“Mm,” Shen Yuechuan said. “I just got off work.”

“Then that’s it. Drive carefully.” After that, Su Yunjin reminded him again, “And don’t forget to eat.”

Shen Yuechuan did not say anything and hung up the phone.

He knew that Su Yunjin was concerned about him.

But it was too late. He had already pa.s.sed the age when he needed care and companions.h.i.+p.

Now, as long as he wanted and sent a famous brand bag or a check, there would be plenty of tender young girls showing their concern for him from all sides and remind him that it was raining today, or that it would snowy tomorrow. They would also tell him not to eat too greasy for dinner, which was not good for his health.

Care was actually the cheapest thing in the world.

The next day, after getting off work, Shen Yuechuan contacted Henry directly, and asked him to arrange his examination ahead of time.

After arriving at the hospital, the first one Shen Yuechuan saw was not Henry, but Su Yunjin.

He frowned. Su Yunjin’s presence was more or less beyond his expectations.

Su Yunjin walked toward Shen Yuechuan and said, “Yuechuan, I have something to tell you.”

Shen Yuechuan looked around and saw doctors and nurses walking back and forth, and the patients’ family members carrying things from time to time pa.s.sing by. He asked with some uncertainty, “Are you going to talk to me here?”

“It doesn’t matter where to talk over it.” Su Yunjin looked at Shen Yuechuan and said word by word, “Yuechuan, I admit that I was wrong to abandon you twenty years ago. Now I want to make it up, can you give me this opportunity?”

Su Yunjin didn’t want to keep trying to seek for a perfect reason before contacting Shen Yuechuan and she had enough of the inscrutable embarra.s.sment between her and Shen Yuechuan.

Shen Yuechuan was her son, the only son of her and Jiang Ye. If Shen Yuechuan was willing, she wanted to take care of him and look after him in the name of a mother.

She had lost Shen Yuechuan for more than twenty years. Now, she just wanted to make it up to him.

Shen Yuechuan did not expect Su Yunjin to reveal the embarra.s.sment between them. He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t say anything when he looked at Su Yunjin’s tearful eyes.

He still didn’t dare to admit that he still had a longing and expectation for family love.

However, when someone really showed concern for him in the name of his mother, his heart was full of entanglements and sorrows.

In the past twenty years, he had no relatives, but he lived very well as well.

Therefore, he stubbornly believed that he did not need family love for the next 20 years or so.

What’s more, he didn’t know if he could have another twenty years or more. So why should he accept the so-called kins.h.i.+p and make himself have an extra fetter in this world?

“Yuechuan,” Su Yunjin looked at Shen Yuechuan. “Do you hate me very much?”

“…” Shen Yuechuan didn’t know. He really didn’t know.

Ever since he learned that Su Yunjin was his birth mother, he had been rejecting Su Yunjin’s concern and care.

He did not know whether it was because he hated Su Yunjin for abandoning him.

Or it was because he didn’t know if he could survive. In case the G.o.d of death took away his life soon, he didn’t want Su Yunjin to lose someone precious again as soon as she found her son.

If he was still as unfortunate as he was when he was born this time, then he did not wish for his departure to bring pain to anyone.

Su Yunjin forced Shen Yuechuan to look straight into her eyes. “Yuechuan, tell me why?!”

“Don’t ask,” Shen Yuechuan turned his head and looked away, “I’ll get examined first.”

Looking at Shen Yuechuan’s back which was so similar to Jiang Ye’s, Su Yunjin suddenly understood something and just stood in the same place lost in thought…
