The Anarchic Consort

Chapter 1057 The Meeting After She Regained Consciousness

Chen Zhendong knew that Young Master Lan, who was very influential in the business circle, definitely had that ability to make sure he could not see Lan Ya anymore.Similarly, he also knew that the two families would not feud with each other simply because of this incident.

If Lan Shi refused to let him see Lan Ya, he would ask his father to help him.

After all, the two families had been very tight-knit for generations. If his father opened his mouth, Uncle Lan would surely agree to it no matter what.

His father seemed to be startled when he looked at him. Then, he became silent for some time before saying, “Your mother and I always thought that you’ve never loved Xiao Ya. Thus, we kept waiting for you to bring Xiao Ziqiu home. We’ve been watching Xiao Ya grow up, so your mother always hoped that both of you would be together. However, when you grew older, your mother noticed that you really didn’t have any love for Xiao Ya. Thus, she finally gave up on the idea.”

“Especially in the past three years, both of you rarely spoke to each other in public. I’ve thought about sending you overseas for a while, to avoid Xiao Ya from falling further for you. As your parents, we can tell that there’s something amiss. However, your Uncle Lan also told me not to meddle in this matter. Son, have you ever thought about it? No father would be willing to see his own daughter become like this, so you’ve long lost all your credibility in your Uncle Lan’s heart. He will never agree to let you be with her anymore, so why are you doing this?”

“I want to see her.” Chen Zhendong sat with his face lowered, as he slowly clenched his hands on his thigh. “I just want to see her.”

Mother Chen had never seen her son like this before.

Except when Father Chen was arrested in the past, he had never behaved this way.

All these years, her son had never made them worry about him.

Although he did not delve into politics, his accomplishments and achievements in the medical field had made them feel very honored and proud.

Their son had always been strong, and they had rarely seen him so fragile like this. Seeing him begging them like this was even more impossible.

Children from wealthy families like them mostly depended on their parents, either in their careers or in their studies. .

However, this child was different. He kept everything to himself, and did not even rely on them to solve his problems.

Nevertheless, he had now changed into someone completely different.

As a mother, she knew her son the best, so Mother Chen could comprehend the entire situation. After hearing Chen Zhendong’s words, she put down the tea that she brewed for the father and son, and looked at Chen Zhendong. “Little Dong, it’s okay if you want your father and I to speak for you. However, you have to bear in mind that, this time it’s you who have done something bad to Xiao Ya, and it’s our family that owes the Lan family...”

The Chen couple went to the hospital and stayed for over an hour.

After all, they were old family friends.

The relationship between the previous generation was too close-knit.

Thus, the Lan family relented and allowed Chen Zhendong to visit Lan Ya.

When Lan Shi saw him again, he smirked at him with mockery that only both of them could understand, as if saying that he needed his parents to solve his problem because he failed to do so.

However, Chen Zhendong did not care how Lan Shi looked at him.

At this moment, he merely hoped to see that person. Even if she was still lying on the bed, he desperately wanted to see her again.

It was almost five in the morning.

When he opened the door, he accidentally made eye contact with the person on the bed.

Chen Zhendong did not expect that she had already woken up.

Nobody told him about that.

Lan Shi even kicked him out when he first came here.

Chen Zhendong was shocked, so he just stared blankly at her under the faint light.

She seemed to be slightly thinner, with pale skin. She was sitting on the hospital bed and wearing a set of large patient clothes. Her slender wrists were exposed from the sleeves, the back of her hand seemed to have many marks of injections. The trace of the car accident was still very obvious, as the scar on her arm and gauze on her head were still there. Fortunately, there were no obvious wounds on her face. Her physical condition was not great, but she appeared very relaxed. Two of her friends were sitting beside her. Chen Zhendong knew one of them, who was also her best male friend, and he was holding a spoon to feed her for soup.

It was supposed to be his place, but he was too late.

Once he was late for that spot, it would never belong to him anymore.

Lan Ya was looking at him with a hint of surprise on her face, as if she did not expect him to appear here.

However, the surprise on her face instantly disappeared, as she simply looked at him warily.

What have I done...

To make her start becoming wary of me?

Chen Zhendong did not know what she thought of him.

He watched Lan Shi walking over and smiling at her, with some mockery in his voice. “I can’t stop him, this guy asked for help from Uncle Chen and Auntie Chen.”

He sounded as if he had been exiled from their circle.

So, is she the one who did not want to see me?

Chen Zhendong’s fingers stiffened, and his stomach began to ache again.

He had no idea where this uncanny feeling of insecurity came from.

However, he could clearly sense that something was no longer the same as before.

The way she looked at him was different now.

Even the facial expression that she had when facing him was different too.

He could not find any trace of the past on her now.

He had imagined many scenes when he saw her again, but none of them would turn out like this. She merely sat there and gazed at him indifferently...

It was as if he was just a stranger to her. Of course, she was still curious and asked him a question.

“Why are you here?”

He always knew that she was someone who would not make people feel uncomfortable.

Yet, he also knew that she would only smile gently when she dealt with people and matters in a professional setting.

It was as if she was asking him a question, but there was something else hidden in her eyes. It seemed that they were filled with suspicion and doubt.

“Is it because my parents exaggerated my illness?” She laughed again brightly and replied, “I’m fine, you don’t have to worry about it. You don’t have to feel guilty too, I should be discharged in a few days.”

The more she said so...

The more he could feel the distance in her words.

This was because she immediately looked away and faced her friends again, after saying these words. That man was undoubtedly good to her and seemed to be minding her as he muttered, “Talk less, don’t tire yourself.”

With that, she obediently shut her mouth and continued to drink the soup.

He was left standing there, looking utterly lost.

However, he thought that it would be good to accompany her like this.

Even if the person that she trusted the most was no longer him.

He could guess what Lan Shi had told her when she woke up.

The place where she had the car accident was just across the street from his workplace. If he was concerned about her, he would have been able to sense it. However, he was too busy drinking coffee with another woman at that time.

To her, Chen Zhendong was still the jerk who did not even love or care about her. He even kicked her out of his apartment in the middle of the night.

Furthermore, he did not even visit her when she was fighting for her life in the intensive care hospital. Instead, he was busy appearing on a TV show with Xiao Ziqiu...
