I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 296

An infant?

Zhou Zheng was shocked by Fu Chengyan’s instruction. He had told him to fabricate some pictures of a baby for Song Huaiyan to see. “Mr. Fu, what do you mean?”

Zhou Zheng suddenly came to a realization. “I’ll get to it at once. As for the matter at the Fu residence, I have sent someone to clean it up.”

Fu Chengyan waved his hand as Shi Nuan pushed open the door to enter. When she saw that Fu Chengyan and Zhou Zheng had finished their discussion, she said, “Yan, I’ve made some desserts. Do both of you want some?”

Shi Nuan turned towards Zhou Zheng as she spoke, “Mr. Zhou, are the two of you done discussing?”

“Yes, we’re done. I still have something to do so I’ll pass on the dessert.” Zhou Zheng avoided eye contact as he spoke and quickly left with all the documents he had brought.

That was his cue to leave and he took it immediately. He didn’t want to wait for Fu Chengyan to glare at him fiercely.

Anyone could see that Fu Chengyan’s recent actions were all due to his concern for Shi Nuan. How would he as a subordinate dare to eat something that the lady boss had prepared herself? The rule was that only the boss could eat what was prepared by his wife.

When Shi Nuan saw how fast Zhou Zheng fled, she couldn’t help but find it hilarious. “Do I look that frightening?” Shi Nuan wondered why Zhou Zheng always had a strange expression on when he saw her, it was as if he had seen a ghost.

Fu Chengyan chuckled and waved at her. “Come over!”

Shi Nuan frowned and didn’t walk to him. Instead, she turned away and said, “I’ve already made dessert. You should come down if you want some!”

Fu Chengyan couldn’t help but shake his head. He kept all the documents on his desk before following Shi Nuan downstairs.

Once Zhou Zheng left Wutong Residence, he called Liang Lin immediately. He requested Liang Lin for help in investigating the matter relating to Song Jingyu, and added, “By the way, aren’t you really good with the computer? Find me some pictures of infants and edit them so that no one can see that they’re fake. Send them to my phone once you’re done!”

In the hotel, Lin Shuyuan was examining Song Jingyu. When he was done, he gave her another sedative before removing his mask. He looked at Song Huaiyan and shook his head. “It was likely triggered by what she was doing before it happened.”

In other words, Lin Shuyuan didn’t really know what caused it. “I hypnotized her just now, and discovered that she is subconsciously frightened of children. Did she… have a child before?”

“That’s impossible!” Song Huaiyan quickly denied, “Jingyu has never had a boyfriend before, how would she even have a child!”

Lin Shuyuan didn’t question Song Huaiyan any further given how worked up he was. He changed the subject instead. “The medication that I gave you is the most advanced for her condition. It should have been of help to her. Did you give it to her?”

Lin Shuyuan couldn’t discount that possibility given how uncooperative Song Jingyu was with him. “You must know that if she doesn’t take this suppressant and is exposed to constant provocation, her emotions and mental state will easily collapse. She and Ruan… No, her condition is even worse than that of Ruan’s!”

What Lin Shuyuan said was the truth; he wasn’t trying to be an alarmist.

Song Huaiyan could feel it himself given what he saw at the hospital just now. He knew that Song Jingyu’s condition was a lot worse than he had expected.

As Song Huaiyan remained silent, Lin Shuyuan further explained with a wry smile, “Huaiyan, I’m not going to sugarcoat it. But if you and Ms. Song don’t work with me, I won’t be able to cure her no matter how good I am!”

Song Huaiyan sighed. “Do you think that I don’t want her cured? Ruan was tortured by this sickness so badly that she was unrecognizable. It remained so until she died. If not for the fact that I selfishly abandoned her, she would not have fallen into that state. Jingyu is her daughter, so I hope I can give her the best. But you yourself have seen her character: she refuses to admit that she’s sick. She has been doing fine for the last few years, so I assumed…”

“There’s nothing to assume. Her sickness is a hereditary mental disease: she was born with it. The chances of her not being affected by it are minuscule, so you can forget about hoping she will fully recover.” Lin Shuyuan didn’t want to dwell on this issue with Song Huaiyan.

“The child – you should try and think harder about what it means. She won’t bring it up unless it is in her memory! Also, didn’t you tell me that she came to look for Fu Chengyan? Perhaps he is the key!”

“It’s useless!” Song Huaiyan said in frustration.
