Chapter 740: Chapter 562: Who Is the Man Who Saved You? (Happy New Year, Everyone!)

Eric moved a chair and sat by Yin Shixiu’s hospital bed.

Yin Shixiu was leaning slightly, with a tablet on the small table on the bed. The press conference of the Yin Group was not broadcast live online.

The scene that Yin Shixiu saw now was directly sent by Eric’s staff at the venue.

If Eric had known the press conference would become such a mess, no matter what, he wouldn’t have followed Yin Shixiu’s instructions.

Just now, a crazy woman burst into the press conference, without a word, she threw a phone at Su Xiaomeng, and the worst part was, it hit her.

Eric was right beside Yin Shixiu and could clearly feel the instant heartache Yin Shixiu tried hard to suppress and... powerlessness.

They watched as all the developments unfolded after the press conference.

Yin Shixiu watched in unusual silence.

Until this man named Ren Yixuan appeared, Eric saw the storm flash in the eyes of Yin Shixiu, which were usually calm and unruffled.

"Childhood sweethearts..."

Eric murmured, saying with some curiosity and hesitation,

"I’ve never heard you mention him, this man... the way he looks at Xiaomeng... doesn’t look like a brother looking at his sister..."

"He loves her."

Yin Shixiu’s lips moved, speaking directly.

Eric was stunned, his expression even more cautious than Yin Shixiu’s, looking as if facing a great enemy,

"Really?"

Eric looked closely at the video again, Su Xiaomeng was having an emotional breakdown at this moment.

Even if they were childhood sweethearts, even if this gentle childhood friend loved her, it shouldn’t make Su Xiaomeng cry like this, right?

Eric’s worldview wasn’t particularly straight, and when his imagination ran wild, he looked at the serious Yin Shixiu with a face full of amazement,

"Arthur..."

"..."

Yin Shixiu glanced at him, then his eyes fell back on the video.

"Could it be that these two are a perfect match, with mutual affections, and then you..."

"Whether or not they’ve reached the point of mutual affections, I don’t know. But I know that without me, they would be together."

"..."

Eric nearly choked on his saliva. Yin Shixiu really dared to speak!

Speaking subtly, the meaning is clear... he snatched love, forcibly tearing them apart?

"Xiaomeng... for him, it’s not at that level."

Yin Shixiu said calmly.

"Not at that level..."

Eric furrowed his brows slightly, not quite understanding Yin Shixiu’s words, "Not at that level, but crying like this?"

Yin Shixiu squinted his eyes, glaring at him.

Eric quickly cleared his throat,

"Just kidding, I’m not really understanding the relationship between these two. But Xiaomeng’s deep affection for you, I’ve seen it clearly."

Yin Shixiu still just pressed his lips together.

Even Eric, watching at such a close range, was in a defensive posture, let alone Yin Shixiu himself.

He knew Su Xiaomeng loved him, and he knew that love wasn’t less than his for her.

But... now he was "dead."

Watching her stand her ground in the center of the scene alone, it was a lie to say it didn’t hurt.

Though he felt pain for her, surely she would not want to find someone to rely on?

If she really had this thought, Ren Yixuan would be the perfect choice.

"Beeep beeeep..."

The heart monitor connected to his chest emitted restless alarm sounds, startling Eric to quickly get up and call for a doctor.

Yin Shixiu felt suffocated!

He truly understood Su Xiaomeng.

No matter how many negative, flawed, and sinister aspects the human heart might have, she would always yearn for purity, goodness, and beauty given even the slightest chance.

In those days when Ren Yixuan was unwilling and plotted to take revenge,

He caused her severe pain, which also distressed him.

But the eventual outcome shocked both him and Xiaomeng... in a delighting yet also a sorrowful shock...

Ren Yixuan is soft-hearted, just like Xiaomeng.

So even though that day, Xiaomeng said she would cut ties with Ren Yixuan forever.

But over time, the twenty years of Ren Yixuan’s companionship and protection has been deeply imprinted in Su Xiaomeng’s life.

Nothing can change, nothing can undermine it.

Emotions in this world cannot simply be encapsulated by "love," "family," and "friendship," mere three words.

The relationship between Xiaomeng and Ren Yixuan already surpassed those emotions before he appeared, rarely seen in the world, and enough to make people envious.

Eric brought in the doctor, just as they were about to examine Yin Shixiu, Yin Shixiu just said lightly,

"Take the tablet away."

"Ah? Are you sure you don’t want to watch it?"

"If I keep watching, I might want to appear before her at all costs."

Yin Shixiu closed his eyes.

More confidence, Yin Shixiu...

It doesn’t make sense that you can be confident in front of anyone, except when facing Ren Yixuan, where you seem inferior.

Be more confident, and believe that your wife wouldn’t forget you so quickly.

Yin Shixiu, of course, also knew that Ren Yixuan might indeed have appeared merely as a "family," helping Su Xiaomeng out of trouble.

But the inherent flaw of being a man is such...

With a possessiveness close to domineering, he couldn’t generate the same benevolent thoughts as his wife’s. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The name Ren Yixuan, now in his mind, has already transformed into... an opportunistic thief, aiming to steal away his dearest love.

When Eric heard him, he roughly understood.

He sighed,

"I think this man looks like a decent gentleman, Xiaomeng has a good sense of justice, so her childhood friend shouldn’t be too bad either, don’t think too ill of him."

"..."

Eric advised.

At the same time, he found it rather amusing.

Though the tablet was taken away from him, Eric couldn’t help but sneak a few more glances at the video.

Ren Yixuan...

Eric marveled, it turns out there’s actually someone on this earth who could make Arthur so uneasy, a real talent!

According to what Yin Shixiu said, the relationship between Ren Yixuan and Su Xiaomeng was indeed troubling.

But Eric had an unexplainable belief that Su Xiaomeng wouldn’t take that step, regardless of how great her childhood friend might be, no matter how hard things were for her, she wouldn’t take that step.

His steadfast belief only highlighted the laughable unease and discomfort of Yin Shixiu.

Eric didn’t sympathize with him either.

It’s only when you’ve snatched something from someone else that you become particularly worried that someone might seize the opportunity to take what’s yours.

"Alright, you’re not currently able to assist Xiao Meng with whatever issues she might encounter or how she solves them. The primary concern is for the doctor to first diagnose your injuries."

Yin Shixiu looked at the ceiling, saying nothing, which was as good as agreeing.

Taking him quietly from the small town near Tianjin Port to the London Royal Hospital, Eric really put a lot of effort into it.

Yin Shixiu did not forget his purpose.

Eric exchanged a few words with the doctor, confirmed the time for diagnosis, and completed all examinations of Yin Shixiu.

Nothing can be confirmed at the moment except for...

The injuries on Yin Shixiu’s body truly weren’t optimistic, especially with the foreign object embedded in the nerves of both legs...

Whether he could stand in the future remained uncertain.

Eric didn’t tell Yin Shixiu this.

But even if Eric hadn’t told Yin Shixiu, Yin Shixiu wasn’t naturally optimistic; the pain is on his own body, and he had a grasp of how serious his injuries were.

After the doctor left, Eric spoke to Yin Shixiu,

"If the diagnostic result... isn’t very good, you shouldn’t..."

"Being alive is already fortunate, I understand. As for treatment, arrange it and I’ll cooperate."

"Alright."

Eric agreed, then suddenly remembered something, looked at Yin Shixiu, and asked,

"By the way, who was the man who saved you?"

Yin Shixiu looked at Eric...

————

Su Xiaomeng stood before the press, ready to face the media after the press conference interruptions.

When reporters asked why Su Xiaomeng had an emotional breakdown, Xiao Meng took the microphone and said,

"..."

"I’m meeting Yi Xuan after more than two years. After I got married, he went overseas, and during this time I haven’t seen him."

"....."

"..."
