My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 402: Chapter 402 Adopted Daughter
 

“`

The familiar feeling made my heart as if it had been split open, letting the sorrow surge out uncontrollably.

I threw myself into his arms and cried to my heart’s content.

He stroked my hair without saying a word.

That gentle motion, it was just like how he would soothe me after we got married.

This brief tenderness made me slightly lost.

However, after just a moment of intimacy, he quickly pushed me away and left in haste.

I desperately wiped at the filth in my eyes with my hands, but it was all in vain; no matter how much I wiped, my eyes couldn’t regain their brightness.

The world remained a blur before me…

The more I rubbed my fingers, the more uncomfortable it became.

Eventually, it turned into a stinging pain.

Fortunately, at that moment, someone called out my name.

“Ayun, Ayun!”

It was Wenya’s voice.

I responded loudly, “I’m here, right here!”

“My goodness, you really are here…”

The sound of high heels tapping against the floor neared quickly.

Wenya was soon standing beside me.

“Ayun, what happened to your eyes?”

“I can’t see! Somebody threw an egg at me, and some dirty stuff got into my eyes.”

“Then I’ll take you to the hospital!”

“Ugh, no need, just take me to the restroom nearby to check first.”

Today’s event was extremely important to me; I definitely couldn’t leave first.

Jiang Jiaying set this trap just to make me back down, but I refused to comply with her wishes.

“Ah, you and your stubbornness, not even nine bulls could pull you back; I give up on you, let’s go.”

Wenya led me into a nearby restroom.

She then handed me a bottle of hand sanitizer,

“Clean your hands first, and by the way, do you need me to help you wash your eyes?”

“No need, I’ll wash them myself…”

I applied the hand sanitizer to my fingers and washed them carefully, knowing that if they weren’t clean enough, bacteria could be rubbed into my eyes.

First, clean the fingers, then the eyes.

Wenya mumbled beside me,

“I can’t believe you, such a big deal and you don’t even inform me. It’s fine not to include Jian Jing, but thank goodness I heard something from Su Peisheng. It just so happened that I came over here today for an activity nearby at the school and I saw you being chased over to this place. What a sin!”

I bent down and took the tissue Wenya handed me, wetted it, and started cleaning my eyes bit by bit.

Then Wenya called Su Peisheng,

“Found her, she’s here, in the first restroom by the underground parking. Ah, alright, you don’t have to come in, just stand at the door, okay? Keep a lookout for us; if you see any suspicious people, give us a call.”

After Wenya hung up the phone, I had already lifted my head to examine myself in the mirror.

The filth on my face had been cleaned off.

But my eyes still felt uncomfortable, as if sand had gotten inside, bloodshot with red vessels.

“How is it, Ayun, can you see clearly?”

Perhaps because of my excessive rubbing earlier, everything I looked at now seemed to be behind a layer of white mist.

Even Wenya standing in front of me appeared less clear than before.

However, to prevent causing Wenya worry, I downplayed it and said,

“It’s alright, I can see clearly.”

“`

“Wait, I see your eyes are still red, and there are blood vessels, do you want to go to the hospital to check it out?”

“No need, I won’t go. There’s the opening ceremony soon, and Lin Nansheng invited me over today!”

“Damn, you’re still going! Do you know that because of this, you almost had your face ruined? I think you better not go.”

“It’s fine, everyone is here, what’s there to be afraid of?”

The more Jiang Jiaying told me not to do something, the more I wanted to do it.

I didn’t believe she could stop me.

After a brief pause, I turned to Wenya and said,

“I saw Gu Yuanzhou again just now.”

“Uh, what?”

“That’s right, it was during the time I was surrounded by people, he rescued me from the crowd.”

Wenya clearly didn’t believe me,

“Ayun, you just had a problem with your eyes, and you couldn’t see him. How can you be sure it was him? What if it was someone else? Besides, if he really was alive, he wouldn’t need to hide from you, right?”

“Uh, I don’t know, maybe it was a hallucination. But if you have time, help me look around…”

“Fine!!!”

Wenya agreed in a perfunctory manner.

But actually, I wasn’t holding out much hope, just couldn’t let go.

However, by then my clothes were so dirty that it was impossible to attend the ceremony like this.

If I wanted to go back home and change, it would take more than an hour to travel back and forth.

It seemed like today’s plan was about to be ruined?

In the midst of my depression, Wenya waved in front of me, and I suddenly had an idea.

“Wenya, let’s exchange clothes, you don’t mind wearing my dirty clothes back, do you?”

“I… well, of course, I mind. You’re covered in stinking eggs. But for the sake of my good sister, I’m willing to make a sacrifice. Alright, let’s swap.”

In a nearby restroom, I exchanged clothes with Wenya.

Half an hour later.

I arrived back at the scene.

By then, the opening ceremony had already started, and all the staff were in place.

The sharply dressed Lin Nansheng appeared on the central stage at the venue.

He seemed somewhat anxious, constantly checking the time on his watch,

“Why hasn’t Xiaosong arrived yet?”

Jiang Jiaying had a confident smile on her face,

“Uncle Lin, this Song Xiaoyun has always been unreliable. Someone without any sense of commitment, I think we shouldn’t wait for her. Chances are, she might not even come today.”

Seeing Jiang Jiaying badmouthing me, I walked out directly.

“Uncle Lin, I’m sorry for being late.”

Only then did a look of joy appear on Lin Nansheng’s face, “Why have you just arrived now?”

I glanced at Jiang Jiaying and then stated the facts calmly.

“I’m sorry, Uncle Lin, there was a delay just now. On my way here, someone threw rotten eggs at me…”

Lin Nansheng was clearly unaware of what had happened before, and after hearing my words, he was very angry and immediately arranged for security to investigate.

He ordered the expulsion of any media reporters and onlookers who had participated in attacking me.

After order was restored at the scene, Lin Nansheng then arranged for the reporters to come over and everything started again.

At this moment, when Jiang Jiaying looked at me, her face clearly turned pale and angry.

Lin Nansheng, holding a microphone, said to the audience below,

“Thank you all for coming. On the first day of the opening of our logistics park, I have even better news to announce. The beautiful lady standing beside me, Song Xiaoyun, is not only the legal representative and shareholder of our company, but as of today, I am adopting her as my goddaughter!”
