Xia Ran shrugged. As for the relationship between Jiang Yan Hui and Si Yi, she was just a third party and didn't have much say. Moreover, she could sense that Jiang Yan Hui was not just a little serious about Si Yi, but very serious.

It's enough for a man to be serious about a woman!

"Young Master Yan, just tell me what you want me to do this time."

Jiang Yan touched her nose, finding it rather difficult to ask. After a moment's hesitation, she tentatively asked, "Does Forensic Doctor Xia know Shang Zhancheng?"

Another trade show?!

Xia Ran frowned. "Is it related to him?"

So you mean you know each other?

Jiang Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although he felt a little embarrassed, he didn't have the mind to think about anything else at this moment. After all, everyone looks out for themselves, and as for Lu Fengcheng... he felt sorry for him!

“Actually, I’ve known Shang Zhancheng for a long time, and he’s always wanted to meet you. Of course, he knows you’re in City A, but due to some special reasons, it’s not convenient for him to go back to City A. He hopes I can take you there to meet him, saying that he has some very important things to tell you.” Jiang Yan shifted her crossed legs slightly and spoke in a low voice, “Sisi is currently with him.”

Xia Ran was also a little curious.

Why would this trade show go to such lengths just to see me?

Oh well, it's just meeting an old classmate anyway. Besides, it can help Siyi and make Yan Shao owe her a favor. Why not?

Xia Ran raised an eyebrow decisively, "I can go with you, but Young Master Yan, remember you owe me a favor."

Jiang Yan was surprised that she agreed so readily. A smile appeared on his sexy thin lips. The incandescent light above illuminated his handsome profile, making him appear even more noble. He was generous and said, "It's more than just a favor. If Forensic Doctor Xia ever encounters any difficulties in the future, I, Jiang, will do my utmost to help her!"

-

It's the sixth day...

Siyi frowned, a headache forming in her eyes. Looking at the man in front of her, who was pretending to study the medical records, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Shang, are you sure you really have a way to cure Tiantian's illness?"

It wasn't that she was being rude in interrupting a doctor's train of thought, nor was she really trying to question Shang Zhancheng's medical skills, it was just...

Is he making excuses to delay?

Why did she have such a strong feeling? She felt that this business development company wasn't actually capable of curing Tiantian's illness, but was just using her to buy time and prevent her from leaving…

"Ahem, Miss Ye, why do you ask that?" Shang Zhancheng looked up from in front of the documents, a forced smile on his face. "Don't you have confidence in me?"

Siyi didn't intend to beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "It's not that I don't have faith in you, Dr. Shang. Just because you cured Tiantian's illness last time, I know your medical skills are extraordinary. But Tiantian's inability to speak is congenital, so when you said you had a way to cure her, I was actually a little skeptical. Over the years, I've taken her to various hospitals and consulted many famous doctors, but they were all helpless. I don't want to have too high expectations only to be disappointed in the end... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."

These past few days he's only talked to her about trivial things. Siyi isn't stupid; things have come to this point, and she's decided not to waste any more time.

“Miss Ye, actually, it's like this, because Ye Mengtian's condition is rather special…” Shang Zhancheng silently counted down in his mind, just one more day, just one more day…

There was only one day left. If he could keep her for just one more day, he could complete his mission. Even if he had no morals, he had to keep her. But this time, Siyi wasn't so easily fooled and interrupted him directly.

"Actually, Dr. Shang, you're just stalling for time, aren't you?"

Shang Zhancheng's smile froze, and his expression became subtle.

Siyi suppressed the urge to sigh and stood up abruptly. "Dr. Shang, I don't know why you've kept me here so many times. Maybe you've already told Jiang Yan that I'm here, so it's possible he's the one who made you do this. But I don't want you to use my daughter as an excuse. You should know how much a mother values ​​her child. Oh, no, I can't talk to you like that. You're not a mother, and you can't be one, so you'll never understand my feelings. You said you could cure Tiantian's illness, and I was overjoyed. But after cooperating with you for so many days, I feel like a fool..." Unable to control her emotions, Siyi pressed her temples, finally managing to calm herself down. She said wearily, "Never mind, Dr. Shang, I'm truly grateful for your help when I was in trouble, but I really have to go."

"Oh, no, Miss Ye... actually I..." Shang Zhancheng hurriedly chased after her and stopped Siyi at the door. "Miss Ye Siyi, Yan Hui doesn't know you're here. I'm keeping you here for your own good. Things are getting tense outside."

Trade shows have honed their skills in lying through their teeth quite well.

He didn't know why Siyi came to America, but he presumptuously deduced that Siyi must have had a conflict with Jiang Yanhui. If Jiang Yanhui knew that she was here, she would probably be even more disgusted.

Of course, that's not the case at all!

Therefore, Mr. Shang Zhancheng's cleverness backfired.

Siyi had previously heard Shang Zhancheng mention knowing Jiang Yanhui, and at that time she felt that Jiang Yanhui must know that she was here, so she naturally assumed that his efforts to keep her here were Jiang Yanhui's doing.

But now... it's not Jiang Yan Hui's intention?

"Didn't you tell Jiang Yan that I was here?"

Shang Zhancheng answered very cautiously, "I didn't say that."

Siyi looked at Shang Zhancheng, who looked nervous, with amusement. "Dr. Shang, you can't possibly not tell Jiang Yan that I'm here, can you? Don't tell me such a blatant lie, and don't treat me like a three-year-old. Actually, it wouldn't matter if you told him. I never said I couldn't let him know I was here. I came to America for my own business, and it really has little to do with him."

“Okay, actually I did say that…” Shang Zhancheng felt a bit strained talking to this woman today. Of course, at this moment, he didn't know that the woman in front of him was a lawyer, someone who could argue fiercely with people in court. Dealing with him would be more than enough for her, so the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. “But… even Yan Hui didn't ask me to keep you here. I was afraid you would be in danger if you went out…”

"He didn't ask you to keep me here. You're only doing this so desperately to keep me here for my safety, right?" Siyi gently helped Shang Zhancheng sort out the general meaning of all his words.

"Yes, he really didn't ask me to keep you here!" Completely oblivious to the fact that the woman's seemingly gentle smile was already gradually changing color, Shang Zhancheng nodded solemnly, "Miss Ye Siyi, I absolutely did not deceive you!"

Siyi sneered and shoved Shang Zhancheng away. "Thank you for your hospitality these past few days, Dr. Shang, but you really don't need to keep me here today. I'm leaving today!"

"Hey...wait, Ye..."

Where are you going next?

Just as Shang Zhancheng was about to chase after him, another deep voice suddenly rang out from the doorway, as if a divine voice had descended from the heavens—

"Jiang Yanhui, you've finally arrived!"

The person who came was Jiang Yan Hui. The elevator was right outside Shang Zhan Cheng's office. Si Yi was standing at the office door at that moment. When she heard this, she looked up and saw the man standing at the elevator with his hands in his pockets.

When she left that day, she truly believed that even if she wouldn't see him again for the rest of her life, she wouldn't be able to see him again so soon!

Perhaps another five years will pass, or even longer...

But it wasn't that fast; only a week later, she saw him again.

It felt like a different world.

He was dressed particularly flamboyantly today, in a dark green casual suit with a white shirt underneath. He habitually unbuttoned the top three buttons, revealing his tanned skin, and paired it with burgundy trousers. Such a difficult color to pull off, yet it looked remarkably harmonious on him. He was truly a natural clothes hanger; he could carry off any color or style of clothing exceptionally well, perfectly highlighting his refined, gentlemanly air.

Siyi's heart raced again. Seeing the man she had longed for day and night, she almost held her breath, her dark eyes darting around without blinking.

In fact, she thought about him every single day, but she knew that her departure without saying goodbye must have made him very angry, otherwise why would she be so reluctant to appear in his dreams?

During the time they were apart, she never dreamed of this man once. So, was she dreaming at this moment?

"You've finally arrived. I've gloriously completed my mission." Shang Zhancheng's relieved voice interrupted Siyi's thoughts and confirmed that she wasn't dreaming.

"The person you want to see is at the hotel. My driver knows the address." Jiang Yan's deep eyes remained fixed on Si Yi's face, but she spoke to Shang Zhancheng, "You can go find her now."

The implication is that this is none of your business, so get out of here!

Shang Zhancheng couldn't stand watching the two of them gazing at each other so affectionately. Now, upon hearing that Xia Ran had arrived, he was even more excited. Not wanting to be a third wheel for even a second, he simply said "thank you" and eagerly got on the elevator.

In the end, only the two of them remained.

Jiang Yanhui remained motionless, standing a zhang away, as if waiting for Siyi to speak first.

His gaze was so naked and intense that Siyi felt a little uncomfortable under his stare. Even the usually eloquent Siyi momentarily lost her composure and blurted out an unpleasant opening line, "What brings you here?"
