Lan Yeru thought she was frightened by a nightmare and held her to comfort her for a while before letting her go. However, she still felt uneasy and wanted to stay and sleep with her.
"I...it's okay."
Shangguan Linlin finally spoke, his voice still a little weak, "You should go back and rest first."
After she finished speaking, she barely smiled at a few people, who had not fully recovered from the panic of nightmares and memories.
Everyone saw that she looked better, and felt a little relieved. After a few words of comfort, they went back to their rooms.
Shangguan Linlin also locked the door and returned to the bedroom, but she was no longer sleepy.
Looking at the bracelet that she threw away in panic on the ground, Shangguan hesitated to step forward.
Her childhood memories, which seemed like dreams but not dreams, seemed real but not real, gripped her and made her panic.
She knew that these had all happened. She had often had such dreams intermittently when she was a child. But every time she dreamed, her mother would hold her tightly and comfort her, and she slowly walked out under their patient and loving care. This nightmare-like memory, but they have never been far away. Tonight, she was awakened again by her strong desire for Shiyang to be Shen Yu.
She didn't sleep all night.
When he went to the company the next day, Shangguan Linlin secretly stared at Shiyang unconsciously. The more he looked, the more her face overlapped with that of the young lady whose memory had long been blurred, and the more frightened she became.
Shiyang also noticed Shangguan Linlin staring at her from time to time early in the morning.
Throughout the morning, whether she was passing by the office lobby, in a meeting, or even in the office, Shangguan Linlin would always stare at her in confusion from time to time.
She didn't know if it was because she had to publicly explain and apologize at the media conference today. She also wanted to find an opportunity to discuss the matter with her, but she didn't mention it, so she pretended not to see it.
During lunch, Shiyang and Tang Shaoyu had work to discuss, so they went to eat with him.
Shangguan Linlin followed them. Unusually, he did not step forward to join them as carelessly as before. He just went to get food in silence and then ate alone.
While eating, Shangguan Linlin looked up from time to time and looked at Shiyang's side face, and became distracted after looking at it.
Tang Shaoyu had never seen such a strange Shangguan Linlin, and he didn't know if Shangguan Linlin and Shiyang had apologized. He couldn't help but ask Shiyang in a low voice: "What's wrong with Shangguan Linlin?"
Shi Yang also shook his head in confusion: "I don't know."
"Has she ever apologized to you?" Tang Shaoyu asked.
Shiyang didn't know what to say: "I don't know if it counts as an apology. She came to see me once yesterday, but the conversation afterwards was not very pleasant."
Tang Shaoyu nodded, which was Shangguan Linlin's style of doing things.
Shiyang looked at Tang Shaoyu and remembered what Shangguan Linlin said yesterday about the truth about Fu Wujun being hospitalized for cerebral hemorrhage. She couldn't ask Fu Jingchuan this question in person for fear of hurting him. After thinking about it, she asked Tang Shaoyu softly: "Mr. Tang, I heard It is said that Fu Jingchuan's father had cerebral hemorrhage and was hospitalized because he had a quarrel with Fu Jingchuan, and Fu Jingchuan wanted to take back his equity and refused to listen to my advice and insisted on being with me, right? "
Tang Shaoyu stopped eating and looked up at Shiyang.
Shiyang was looking at him quietly, waiting for his answer.
Tang Shaoyu promised Fu Jingchuan not to talk to Shiyang about this matter. He didn't know why she suddenly asked about it, and it was hard to explain. After thinking for a while, he said softly: "I think it's better for you to talk to Lao Fu about this issue. .”
"Is he feeling very uncomfortable these days?" Shiyang asked softly.
Tang Shaoyu just shook his head and smiled, also not knowing how to answer.
Shiyang also smiled and did not continue to embarrass him.
She could tell that Fu Jingchuan was not feeling well during this period. He would hide his emotions again, and the changes in his aura and eyes that he revealed invisibly could not be deceived.
But before, she thought it was because his father was in poor health that he was not feeling well, but she didn't expect that there was this factor involved.
"Don't think so much." Tang Shaoyu couldn't help but persuade her, "I will take care of it."
Shiyang nodded slightly and said nothing.
No matter how powerful Fu Jingchuan is, he is just an ordinary person. He doesn't have many heads and six arms. He has to manage such a large company, deal with the conflicts between her and his parents, and her family's troubles from time to time. He doesn't have that much at all. energy to deal with these.
Fu Jingchuan didn't come to the company at noon today and went to the hospital again. He didn't know what Fu Wujun's condition was.
Shiyang couldn't ask, probably because he was afraid that she would worry. Everyone he asked said it was fine, so she didn't have to worry.
-----------------------
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Fu Jingchuan came back from the hospital and came to the office to find her and wanted to take her to the press conference.
The press conference was scheduled to be held at four o'clock. Shen Qingyao would personally explain the situation of the manor project to the public, and at the same time ask Shangguan Linlin to apologize in person.
Shangguan Linlin was also there when Fu Jingchuan arrived at Shiyang's office. When she saw Fu Jingchuan walking in from the door, her eyes were a little uneasy. Maybe she felt guilty, or maybe she had seen Fu Jingchuan's ruthlessness in dealing with things. Shangguan Linlin was gone. Dare to treat Fu Jingchuan as gently as before, he only glanced at him hesitantly and lowered his eyelids, avoiding his sight.
Fu Jingchuan ignored her. After picking up Shiyang, he called Ke Chen: "You arrange for someone to send Miss Shangguan to the press conference."
Except for Yan Yao and Tang Shaoyu, no one else in the office knew what was going on. When they heard Fu Jingchuan's phone call arrangement, they couldn't help but look at Shangguan Linlin in surprise.
Shangguan Linlin felt extremely embarrassed and didn't dare to say anything. He clutched the phone tightly and said nothing.
Tang Shaoyu came out of the office: "I happen to be going there too, so I'll see her off on the way."
Tang Shaoyu said and looked at Shangguan Linlin: "Linlin, you can take my car there."
Cao Meihui was really curious and couldn't help but ask Tang Shaoyu: "Mr. Tang, what is the press conference?"
Tang Shaoyu glanced at her: "A press conference."
Cao Meihui: "..."
But Tang Shaoyu had already heard the implication and had no intention of saying it.
Cao Meihui suddenly felt a little depressed, but she couldn't ask any more questions and looked away angrily.
Tang Shaoyu ignored it and looked past Cao Meihui to Shangguan Linlin: "Get ready."
Shangguan Linlin had no choice but to respond: "Oh."
He stood up slowly.
On the way, Shangguan Linlin couldn't help but secretly sent a message to Shen Qingyao: "Can you postpone the press conference until the paternity test results come out?"
But Shen Qingyao didn't reply to her, whether he was busy or just didn't want to talk to her.
Shangguan Linlin couldn't count on Shen Qingyao, so she had to check the hospital's backstage repeatedly to see if the paternity test results had come out. But until she arrived at the press conference, there was still no movement backstage, and the results had not come out.
Shangguan Linlin went to find Shen Linhai in a hurry.
Shen Linhai was resting in the lounge. When he saw Shangguan Linlin come in, he couldn't help but look at her with complicated eyes. On the other hand, he was convinced by the comparison between Xiao Shen Yu and Shangguan Linlin in Fu Jingchuan's words yesterday. He also believed in Shen Qingyao. The result of the paternity test was false, but on the other hand, this certainty was mixed with a bit of uncertainty. The scene when Shangguan Linlin woke up from a nightmare last night and described the scene when he was lost as a child was repeatedly replayed in his mind.
Doubts and distress intertwined in my heart.
"Grandpa." Shangguan begged to look at Shen Linhai, "Can we hold this press conference until the paternity test results come out? If we can't wait too long, the results will be available today, so we can just delay it for a few hours. "
Shen Linhai looked conflicted and embarrassed: "Even if the result is obtained, what can we do? You still have to make the apology and statement that should be made."
"It's different." Shangguan Linlin couldn't tell. She just felt that the results of the paternity test might be her life-saving talisman. She wanted to wait for the results of the paternity test to come out first, so she kept pleading softly to Shen Linhai in a hurry. , "How about delaying it for an hour? Can it be delayed for an hour?"
"Not even for a minute."
Fu Jingchuan's voice sounded from the door.
Shangguan Linlin looked back at the door in shock.
Fu Jingchuan and Shiyang had reached the door of the lounge at some point.
Fu Jingchuan was raising his wrist to look at his watch: "The press conference is about to begin. If Ms. Shangguan is unwilling to apologize publicly, we can only make the relevant statement. The remaining matters will follow legal procedures in accordance with the law."
Shen Linhai was a little hesitant when he thought about Fu Jingchuan's request for an apology statement, and looked at Fu Jingchuan hesitantly:
"How about delaying it for an hour first? I'm going to apologize today anyway, so what does it matter if it's an hour earlier or an hour later?"
"no."
Fu Jingchuan simply rejected him.
