Chen Song hesitated a bit, “Could it be that you saw it wrong?”
Shen Qingyue replied earnestly, “No, I’m sure.”
“Alright, I got it.” Chen Song chose to believe her, “For these few days, I won’t let her go out.”
Shen Qingyue nodded, but could not help saying as she left, “Chen Song, have you ever considered that you are the one who can make her happy?
Chen Song remained silent for a long time and forced a smile, “It’s late now, you should go back and rest.”
After that, without lingering, he carried Chen Ying and left.
Shen Qingyue sighed softly. This was not the first time she said this, but Chen Song remained unconvinced. He always saw himself as an orphan, a castaway, and believed that he did not have the ability to give the young miss of the Chen family a good life.
The next morning, after Shen Qingyue finished the morning meeting, she had someone keep an eye on Wang Anning, hoping to find evidence of his continued involvement with Wen Xin.
As Shen Da’s case needed some additional information, she went to discuss the matter with a lawyer to supplement the necessary data. Throughout the day, she was hardly idle, for she was currently acting as the acting president of the company, and she needed to show some results as soon as possible to solidify her position.
When Chi Ming called, she was still busy.
“What’s up?” Shen Qingyue casually answered the phone.
Chi Ming said, “Are you free? Let’s have dinner together tonight.”
Shen Qingyue politely declined, “Maybe next time, I haven’t finished my work for today.”
Chi Ming was always understanding and did not insist. After a few pleasantries, he stopped bothering her.
By the time Shen Qingyue finished her work, it was already past ten. Packing her things, she headed downstairs. However, as she walked a few steps, she spotted a figure.
The person approached her step by step and finally stood in front of her. His originally calm demeanor, under the silver moonlight, appeared even more ethereal and otherworldly. “Done with work?”
Shen Qingyue was half a head shorter than Chi Ming, and to look at him, she had to slightly raise her head, “You were waiting for me?”
“Yeah.”
“You still haven’t had dinner?”
“Yeah.”
Shen Qingyue fell silent, “Since what time have you been waiting for me?”
Chi Ming did not answer directly, just said, “I reserved a table at the Imperial
Kitchen. We can still make it. Shall we go?”
Knowing that Chi Ming must have been waiting until now, Shen Qingyue could not refuse, so she nodded and agreed.
Just as she was about to get in the car, Chen Ying called her on the phone. “Qingyue, could you help me with something?”
“What happened?”
“My artist friend needs to have an abortion, and she can’t find anyone to help. Her situation is special, and I can’t ask anyone else. Can you go and see her? I just left the country with my mom for urgent business, and I won’t be able to make it back in time.”
It was Shen Qingyue who proposed to Madam Chen to take Chen Ying away for a short period. This was to keep her from contacting Wang Annin.
Without hesitation, Shen Qingyue agreed.
Chi Ming took the driver’s seat and asked casually, “What happened?”
Shen Qingyue briefly explained, “Let’s have dinner tomorrow instead. I’ll go check on her first.”
“I’ll accompany you,” Chi Ming said.
Shen Qingyue did not refuse, knowing that declining would not change anything.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital.
Shen Qingyue found the artist, as Chen Ying had instructed. “Miss Tan?”
Tan smiled, wearing a mask and a hat, fully covered. Only a pair of beautiful eyes could be seen, but they appeared lifeless. When she heard someone calling her, she turned her head slowly and spoke weakly, “Are you Miss Shen?” Shen Qingyue nodded, “Have you registered?”
“No,” Tan stood up, swaying, “Did Chen Ying tell you about my situation?”
“She didn’t go into details. Why didn’t you register?”
“I can’t use my real name.”
Shen Qingyue understood. Tan Xiao was a famous star under the Chen family’s business, and if she registered under her real name, there would be records.
This might be exposed by the media, affecting both Tan Xiao’s career and the Chen family’s stock prices. However, this kind of thing should be managed by her agent. If there were any problems, her agent should have taken care of them promptly. “What did your agent say?”
Hearing that, Tan Xiao shivered all over and fell silent for quite a while before saying, “We’ve had some conflicts.”
..lt’s a big deal when artists have conflicts with their agents.” Shen Qingyue sighed but did not ask further, “Did you communicate with the doctor?”
“I did. She promised to keep it confidential.’
Shen Qingyue did not say more and went directly to register..
