My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 425: Chapter 425 Old Love
 

Through the transparent glass wall, I saw an additional figure in the hall outside,

an imposing figure in a black trench coat, with the collar of the black shirt underneath raised high, concealing the face.

Plus, wearing a mask and sunglasses, I couldn’t make out his features at the moment.

I could only sense that this man had a very strong presence.

He had a particularly intense aura that was impossible to ignore.

Was it Gu Yuanzhou?

Unfortunately, I was too far away from him, and besides, he was still standing sideways to me, still communicating with other employees of the company.

“Xiaoyun!”

Lin Nansheng called my name several times, and only then did I turn my head to look at him.

“Uncle Lin, what’s up?”

Jiang Jiaying crossed her arms and gave me a disdainful glance,

“Really, no manners at all, looking around while talking to your elders, it’s very rude.”

Lin Nansheng smiled and stood up,

“Alright, I’m ready, we can leave now.”

“Okay! Please give me a few minutes…”

For some reason, I suddenly felt unwell.

I had bought a cup of milk tea on the way here.

After a few sips of milk tea, my stomach started to churn, feeling very uncomfortable, so I went to the restroom, where I threw up violently into the toilet.

After sitting for a while and rinsing my mouth, I wiped the corners with a tissue and looked at myself in the mirror.

I noticed I had become quite haggard recently, with obvious dark circles under my eyes.

After a while, when I came out,

Lin Nansheng was waiting for me, looking at me with concern,

“Did you just throw up?”

It seemed that although I hadn’t said anything, he had already detected the subtle changes in me.

“Yes! I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to alarm you.”

“Are you feeling unwell? Do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up?”

Lin Nansheng was anxious, taking out his phone to call for emergency services.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jiaying was even more anxious than I was,

“Dad, don’t worry about her. In my opinion, she’s just eaten something bad. Look, she’s drinking milk tea. How filthy is milk tea nowadays with all its flavorings and additives, and when the shop’s hygiene is not up to standard, it can be full of bacteria… You’re an adult, yet you’re so unreliable and not steady, it’s simply ridiculous.”

“Also, look at you, wearing sunglasses to work in broad daylight. Is this you showing off? Do you know what people outside think when they see you?”

Jiang Jiaying kept criticizing me.

Lin Nansheng couldn’t stand it anymore and directly said,

“Hey, Jiaying, these are all minor details. It’s not something to worry about. Many young people drink milk tea nowadays!”

“Dad, indulgence is like killing a child. By doing this, you’re harming her. As her sister, it’s my duty to point out her faults immediately, to help her correct them in the future.”

I glared at her and chuckled softly,

“You’re lecturing others? Start by sorting out your own life first!”

Jiaying, furious, pointed at me,

“Dad, look at her, she’s talking back! She’s disrespectful and lacks any sense of hierarchy.”

“Enough, don’t argue any more… Jiaying, why don’t you go back first? I need to take care of something with Xiaoyun in a bit.”

“Alright, Dad, I’ll go then.”

Jiang Jiaying actually still wanted to argue with me, but Lin Nansheng had given the order to leave, and being an adult, she wanted to save some face, not daring to make a scene with Lin Nansheng.

After all, if she angered Lin Nansheng too much, she wouldn’t gain anything from it.

He could only collect his things and leave in a dejected manner.

After Jiang Jiaying left, I sat on the sofa to catch my breath for a while, and Lin Nansheng asked his secretary to make me a cup of hot cocoa.

After drinking a few sips, I felt a bit better.

“Are you sure you’re okay? Do you really not need to go to the hospital?”

“There’s no need, I’m fine…”

Lin Nansheng did not rush me.

Feeling somewhat better, I stood up and looked out beyond the glass walls.

But the figure that was there before had disappeared.

I went to the living room, where a receptionist was tidying up the greenery on the table. I grabbed her and asked,

“There was a gentleman earlier, wearing a black coat and sunglasses… about this tall, do you know where he went?”

“Are you talking about Mr. Louis?”

“Yes! Yes, that’s the name.”

“Uh, he just delivered some things and then left.”

“What? Why did he leave?”

I was very disappointed and kept muttering to myself about it.

The receptionist said with a smile,

“That gentleman is Director Lin’s family member. He comes by often, sometimes several times a day. If you’re looking for him, you might want to ask Director Lin.”

“Oh, do you have his mobile number or contact information?”

Seeing my anxious expression, the receptionist wanted to laugh,

“Do you like that gentleman? I don’t have his phone number here; he’s not our client, and I’ve never inquired about his contact information.”

“Alright, thank you!”

I now regret a little that I cared too much about saving face. If I had been shameless and approached him directly, everything would have been okay.

Half an hour later, Lin Nansheng was driving me through the bustling streets.

After a long while, the car gradually came to a stop in front of the old Song Family mansion.

Actually, this little Western-style house is no longer what it used to be.

When I was a child, all these houses had red brick walls and were covered with various vines that climbed over the walls.

The present villa is built on the foundation of the original old house, and though the style has changed a lot, the aura of the ancient residence is still there.

Sure enough, after the car stopped, Lin Nansheng stood silently downstairs for a long time.

“Does Xianjing live here?”

Seeing the excitement that Lin Nansheng could not hide in his eyes, I couldn’t bear to let him have too much hope.

“This is the Song Family!”

“The Song Family? Didn’t she live with her husband’s family?”

“Well… there’s something I need to tell you; please brace yourself.”

A cruel reality, but still reality that must be told.

“Please speak… In fact, I can understand her. If she’s married and has children, no matter what the situation, I can accept it. Sigh, I am the one who wronged her. I, too, have married and had children!”

Lin Nansheng adjusted the reading glasses on his face…

It was only today that I noticed Lin Nansheng had come wearing glasses,

“Uncle Lin, why are you wearing glasses today?”

“Ah, I’m getting old, my eyesight is not as good, but it’s manageable for regular office work. However, when meeting guests, I wear them so things are clearer…”

Lin Nansheng sighed deeply,

“I also want to have a good look at Xianjing, it’s been so many years since we last met! You don’t know, but I often see her in my dreams. Yet, even though she’s within a certain distance, I still can’t see her face clearly. I call out to her, ‘Xianjing, are you doing well?’ She turns and runs away, and no matter how I chase, I can’t catch up.”

I took a deep breath, struggling to maintain my composure, “She’s no longer in this world!”
