"Sorry, I really have no impression." Lin Yuxi said honestly, "Besides, you look like this, so I wouldn't even know you."
Mrs. Tan blamed: "Xingchen, this is Dr. Lin who performed the surgery on you. Please have a better attitude."
Tan Xingchen said: "Thank you."
Lin Yuxi felt strange: "You seem to have a lot of objections to me. Have I offended you before?"
"That's not true. But I thought you would be very impressed with me."
Tan Xingchen said: "Do you still remember the time you went to Shi Tang's birthday party to look for your husband two years ago?"
"I asked your husband a question at that time."
Lin Yuxi's fingers hanging by her side curled up slightly.
"I asked him why he suddenly married you after we had a good relationship with Sister Jiang Nan -" Tan Xingchen showed a contemptuous and sarcastic expression.
"Do you still remember how he answered at that time? Do you need me to remind you?"
How could Lin Yuxi not remember?
Zhou Yanjing hadn't gone to New York yet, but for some reason he suddenly became cold to her and didn't go home for a long time.
Lin Yuxi couldn't see anyone else and didn't know what was going on. She knew that he would definitely go on Shi Tang's birthday, so even though she didn't receive an invitation and didn't like the occasion, she still shamelessly asked Shi Tang for his address.
She got off work late that day, and when she arrived, they had already had a round of drinks.
Zhou Yanjing held a half glass of wine in his hand and lazily leaned on the sofa, watching the group of people play a boring game of truth or dare.
The wine glass turned to him, and Zhou Yanjing chose to tell the truth.
Shi Tang thought he was boring: "I had already thought about what big adventure I wanted you to take, but you chose to tell the truth!"
Then he asked a tricky question fiercely, "Among the girlfriends you have dated, which one do you like the most?"
At that time, Lin Yuxi had just walked in. Zhou Yanjing seemed to have seen her, but he didn't seem to have seen her. He leaned lazily on the leather sofa and answered with two words with a smile:
"predecessor."
Lin Yuxi's hurried steps were froze because of those two words.
Many people outside think that Jiang Nan is Zhou Yanjing's first love, but this is not the case.
Lin Yuxi was in the same school as Zhou Yanjing when she was in high school. She was two years younger than him. She was a freshman in high school and Zhou Yanjing was a senior in high school.
Lin Yuxi watched the girlfriends around him change one after another, but she didn't seem to be particularly interested in anyone.
Girls always come to him on their own initiative, and he doesn't reject them all. He only talks about beautiful ones, who are romantic and unlucky.
He and Jiang Nan grew up together, but they didn't date until college. Before marrying Lin Yuxi, Jiang Nan was his last wife.
Everyone present didn't know that Zhou Yanjing's predecessor was Jiang Nan, and there was a burst of cheers, saying that you still miss Jiang Nan!
Lin Yuxi listened to their commotion and looked at Zhou Yanjing with a casual smile on his face, without denying it.
It was at that moment that she confirmed that Zhou Yanjing had seen her.
He knew she was there.
Immediately afterwards, a girl asked him: "Brother Yan Jing, you and Sister Jiang Nan had a good relationship, why did you suddenly marry someone else?"
Lin Yuxi's feet felt like they were nailed to the spot by steel nails, and there was a sharp roar in her ears, but Zhou Yanjing's cool voice was extremely clear, and every word hit her ears.
He said: "If you can't marry the one you want, why don't you marry someone else and make do with it?"
It's like a person is vacationing in the warm and comfortable Sanya, wearing a beautiful long dress and enjoying the sunshine on the beach. The happiest moment is suddenly thrown naked into the Siberian ice field, and the blood in the whole body is frozen by the cold.
The self-esteem that was crushed in public at that moment, and the mocking or pitiful looks that were thrown at her when someone discovered her, stung Lin Yuxi all the time.
From that day on, she became a joke in everyone's eyes.
How could I forget.
Lin Yuxi put her hands into her coat pockets, as if she wanted to act as if nothing had happened so as not to be seen and open a wound in her heart that could not be healed.
"You and Brother Yan Jing haven't divorced yet?" Tan Xingchen's voice was full of ridicule.
"I really don't understand you. You cling to a man who doesn't love you. Don't you have any self-respect?"
"We haven't left yet, what's wrong?" Lin Yuxi's tone was calm, without even much fluctuation, "Jiang Nan is not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and planned to leave.
Tan Xingchen became angry and said to her back: "Why am I so anxious? Your troubles have nothing to do with me. I just can't bear to see you robbing Sister Jiang Nan's things!"
"Sister Jiang Nan and Brother Yan Jing are childhood sweethearts. If they hadn't broken up and you took advantage of others' danger, do you think you would have a chance to marry him?"
"To put it nicely, you are the adopted daughter of the Zhou family. In fact, who doesn't know that you are just a thing who lives in the nanny's room? You can't even compare to Sister Jiang Nan!"
Lin Yuxi paused in her steps.
All the scornful looks and painful sleepless nights I had endured in the past two years were all revealed in blood at this time.
"Xingchen!" Mrs. Tan scolded her. The always gentle person scolded her with a serious face, "Why are you talking to Dr. Lin?"
Then he said apologetically to Lin Yuxi: "Doctor Lin, this child has been like this since he was a child. He has a bad temper and can't speak. Don't take it to heart."
"It doesn't matter." Lin Yuxi said softly, "What she said is also true."
She turned around and looked at Tan Xingchen, her hands in her pockets clenched tightly, her slender finger bones turning pale, but her face still had that calm expression.
"But I've robbed everything, so what can I do?"
"Zhou Yanjing is not a treasure. He is a merciless scumbag who only flirts with women. Jiang Nan is so rare, so he can just snatch it back from me."
Tan Xingchen wanted to say something else, but his eyes fell behind her, his expression suddenly softened, and he unexpectedly said, "Brother Yan Jing?"
Lin Yuxi's fingers trembled and she turned around.
Zhou Yanjing, who appeared out of nowhere, was standing outside the door, holding a paper bag in his hand.
He was wearing a dark gray suit. Perhaps the color of the clothes was too cold, making his face look cold.
The eyes he looked at Lin Yuxi were so indifferent, and even though the corners of his mouth curved slightly, there was no warmth at all.
"Did I come at an unlucky time?"
He quipped, "You say bad things about people behind their backs without first checking to see if anyone is around. It's so embarrassing for me to hear you in person."
Lin Yuxi pursed her lips: "Why are you here?"
Zhou Yanjing held his pocket with one hand: "Early in the morning I had a premonition that someone was going to say bad things about me, so I came here to hear what my good wife was doing behind my back."
Lin Yuxi wanted to explain something, but there seemed to be nothing to explain.
Isn't Zhou Yanjing just a heartless and unjust scumbag?
"Did I say something wrong?" Lin Yuxi asked.
Zhou Yanjing twitched his lips sarcastically: "You're right, you said it very well. Being the wife of a scumbag like me has really wronged you these past few years."
Lin Yuxi's fingers in her pocket had been pinched to the point of losing all pain.
"As long as you know."
The two people looked more calm and calm than the other, but there was an invisible tension between them.
Zhou Yanjing's appearance and temperament are really outstanding in a place like the hospital, attracting frequent glances from the doctors, nurses and patients passing by in the corridor.
Tan Xingchen was shrinking his neck on the hospital bed. He was not as arrogant as before. Mrs. Tan felt that her daughter had started this conflict, and she wanted to persuade him apologetically.
"It's all Xingchen's talkative nonsense. Don't..."
Zhou Yanjing interrupted indifferently: "She does talk a lot. For the sake of you and Director Tan, I won't care this time. Next time, I won't mind educating you so that she can learn how to speak."
Tan Xingchen felt a chill on the back of his neck, and quietly pulled up the quilt to cover his mouth.
After Zhou Yanjing finished speaking, he raised his wrist and glanced at the time. The look that passed over Lin Yuxi's face before leaving was like cold frost.
At the entrance of the hospital, Lao Liu saw a man coming out of the hospital with striding strides and an air of coolness. He quickly got out of the car and opened the door for him.
Zhou Yanjing got into the car and threw the paper bag aside.
Lao Liu noticed the gloomy air pressure on his body, and asked in confusion and caution: "Aren't these clothes for my wife? The temperature is getting cooler today, and the weather forecast says that the Siberian cold wave is coming..."
Zhou Yanjing folded his legs expressionlessly, and his voice was colder than the cold air blowing from Siberia:
"Let her freeze."
