After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage
Chapter 252 - Chapter 252 Chapter 252 You and the big brother I saved seem

Chapter 252: Chapter 252: You and the big brother I saved seem… Chapter 252: Chapter 252: You and the big brother I saved seem… Ning Yichu was suddenly at a loss for words, looking at him as if she were looking at some kind of idiot.

“Li Lingyang, even though I’ve had a bit to drink, I’m not stupid. With such a high indoor temperature, you’re telling me I could catch a cold?”

Li Lingyang raised an eyebrow, not caring in the slightest about telling blatant lies.

“There’s no helping it, liking someone just makes one extra concerned.”

“…”

Ning Yichu had nothing to say in response, feeling the aftereffects of the fruit wine hitting her, her head swimming, and so she said nothing further. Seeing that it was about time, she bid farewell to Smith and left.

The driver had been waiting for a long time, his head bowed and wearing white gloves, he opened the rear car door for them.

A moment later, the vehicle was driving down the middle of the road.

Nightfall had descended, and the entire Imperial City was wrapped in a layer of glittering charm. Through the car window, it fell on Li Lingyang’s sharp features, casting an almost unreal aura, faintly overlapping with the face of someone from her memories.

Ning Yichu narrowed her eyes and couldn’t help but say, “Li Lingyang, I’ve just realized, you actually look a lot like someone…”

“Like whom? A man or a woman?”

Ning Yichu’s expression became slightly hazy, as if recalling some distant memory, and she slowly said, “An older brother…”

Li Lingyang’s voice rose, “An older brother?”

He had known Ning Yichu for so many years, but she had never mentioned any older brother…

Could it be another rival in love that had appeared out of nowhere?!

Ning Yichu nodded her head, not giving it much thought, and simply spoke her mind.

“A long time ago, I followed my mother to stay for a while at my grandmother’s house in Taoli Town. Once, when I was out flying kites, I accidentally saved a little boy who had been in a serious car accident. I had intended to take him to the hospital, but he adamantly refused to go while struggling to breathe. I had no choice but to take him to a small wooden cabin by the river. However, because I didn’t get him to the hospital in time, he went blind. Thankfully, he was physically strong and managed to recover quite well. To keep him company during boring times, I even raised a little turtle for him to play with…”

But there are no such coincidences in the world.

Li Lingyang had never been to Taoli Town.

That gentle older brother could not have been him.

Ning Yichu spoke as if she were casually telling a story, but in Li Lingyang’s ears, it struck him hard, pounding into his heart and causing his complexion to change drastically, with a look of disbelief reflecting in his eyes.

He had indeed talked to Ning Yichu about the car accident before, but he had never mentioned the details of what happened between him and the little girl…

She knew so much in detail, could it be…

But how could it be possible? He had clearly opened his eyes back then, and the first person he saw was Shen Jiangqing!

“Do you still remember what that little boy said to you at that time?”

Li Lingyang was eager to verify the details, but Ning Yichu was feeling tipsy from the alcohol, and now in the closed car, her head was spinning even more. She shook her head and said, “I’m dizzy, I can’t remember.”

Seeing that she was indeed feeling unwell, Li Lingyang could not bring himself to ask further, but his heart remained unsettled for a long time!

Was it Shen Jiangqing who had told Ning Yichu all the details of their past?

Or was Ning Yichu actually the person who had saved him back then?

Li Lingyang involuntarily clenched his fists.

After sending Ning Yichu back to Junyue Mansion, he immediately had Special Assistant Xu investigate the map of the area where his accident had occurred.

That place used to be on the boundary between two towns, a no-man’s-land, but had recently been clearly marked within the boundaries of Taoli Town!

No wonder…

No wonder Ning Yichu had asked him if he had ever been to Taoli Town?

Li Lingyang’s body stiffened, and he had trouble sleeping throughout the night.

Given their current relationship, it was neither possible nor necessary for Ning Yichu to take on Shen Jiangqing’s credit for saving his life…

Among these two people, someone must be lying!

The next morning, he sent the old butler to take the children to school and he personally went to the mental hospital.

The hospital director had received news of his visit in advance, so he was waiting at the door with his staff early on.

Upon seeing Li Lingyang, he immediately nodded and bowed, “President Li, you’ve arrived!”

Li Lingyang’s face was icy, “Where is Shen Jiangqing?”

The director smiled obsequiously, “Miss Shen has been in a poor mental state. We have arranged a luxurious ward for her. Rest assured, everything is fine with her…”

After all, Shen Jiangqing was the mother of Li Lingyang’s children. Even though she had done a series of appalling deeds, Li Lingyang did not wish to see her, but for the sake of the children, especially Doudou, he did not make things too difficult for her.

He just had her sent to the mental hospital and had people take good care of her, with no lack of food or clothing.

Externally, it was announced that she had a heart attack that led to mental instability and came here for recuperation.

At first, the directors were wary since Shen Jiangqing had almost become Mrs. Li and treated her with great respect. But after she was sent here, Li Lingyang never visited once.

Then the directors knew that Shen Jiangqing was likely loathed!

Naturally, their attitude towards her was no longer as good as in the beginning, but since she had heart disease, no one provoked her too much. She did not need to worry about food and drink, but should not expect anything else…

Otherwise, if her heart disease were triggered, that would be troublesome!

A sharp light reflected in Li Lingyang’s eyes, “Take me to see her!”

“Yes!” The director hurriedly complied.

After walking through the front yard, Li Lingyang entered an old-fashioned retro building and took the elevator to the third floor.

The first and second floors housed general psychiatric patients.

Dressed in hospital gowns, they were noisy and playful, clearly showing their mental abnormalities at a glance.

The third floor, however, held the VIP wards.

Many powerful families who had internal scandals would discard their offending member in such places.

With a creak, a ward door opened.

Li Lingyang saw Shen Jiangqing sitting at the head of the bed.

She was much thinner than before and had lost her previous grace and beauty, looking like a madwoman with a hideous expression, more petty and venomous.

God knows what she had to endure here every day!

Yes!

She wasn’t tortured physically, but being among a crowd of lunatics every day, she was almost driven to nervous breakdown…

If this continued, she truly feared that she would go insane herself one day!

Her only thought now was to leave this godforsaken place and take her revenge!

Just then, Shen Jiangqing suddenly heard the sound of a door opening outside and was startled, subconsciously lifting her gaze, she saw that familiar figure!

Her pupils violently constricted, and a light of surprise emerged as she hurriedly ran over.

“Aling, have you come to take me home?!”

Shen Jiangqing, as if grasping at a lifesaving straw, hastily pleaded, “Aling, I truly realize my mistakes. I beg you to take me away from here. I swear, from now on, I will completely sever ties with Li Jingtian and properly care for our children!”

Li Lingyang’s eyes were cold, and not a hint of empathy showed on his face. He did not respond to her but just looked coldly towards the director at his side.

The director and security guards immediately took the hint to leave and closed the door behind them.

With the door closed, Shen Jiangqing became even more desperate in her pleas…
