Chapter 488: Who Is More Important? (8)

Song Cheng’s voice came through the cell phone loudly and Qiao Lian could hear every word he said.

Her pupils shrank as she saw Shen Liangchuan’s grip on the cell phone tighten.

He pursed his lips and said to Song Cheng, “I’ll be there right away.”

Immediately, he hung up the phone and turned to go.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Qiao Lian got up and threw on some clothes, then dashed out of the bedroom after Shen Liangchuan.

As she opened the front door, she saw that Shen Liangchuan’s car was about to leave the villa.

Taking as many big strides as she could manage, she ran up to the car, pulled open the passenger seat door and got into the vehicle.

Clearly, Shen Liangchuan had not expected her to come along.

The car pulled to a momentary stop as he turned to look at her.

But she was looking straight ahead and said, “Hurry up, we don’t have time!”

Song Yuanxi was threatening to kill herself.

Qiao Lian had a bad premonition about this.

She did not know if Song Yuanxi was serious about killing herself, or if this was just emotional blackmail to get her own way.

Qiao Lian was not a scheming person, but Song Yuanxi contrarily had a hidden agenda.

She was worried about Shen Liangchuan facing her on his own, he might just fall into one of her little ploys.

Besides, if he was sending Song Yuanxi abroad because of her, she wanted to be by his side to show that she was going to be there through thick and thin.

Shen Liangchuan seemed to understand her intention from the look in her eyes. He pursed his lips and wordlessly stepped on the accelerator, driving off at high speed.

The sky had darkened, and there was the rare occasion of traffic being smooth in Beijing.

From the villa it took them only 20 minutes to get to the hospital.

They ran through many red lights along the way, but they finally arrived.

The car drove directly into the hospital grounds and immediately, they saw a chaotic scene.

A crowd had gathered around to watch the dramatic event.

The police had arrived and were setting up an air cushion below the building.

Some people were looking up at the top of the building.

Following their gaze, Qiao Lian saw that on the rooftop of the building there was a girl in a white hospital gown standing there.

The night wind was quite strong, so her gown was billowing around her. Her frail figure looked as though it would be swept away by the wind at any moment—it was a ghastly sight to behold.

Qiao Lian’s heart pounded. She turned around and realized that Shen Liangchuan, who had been next to her a moment ago, had dashed towards the elevators.

Without another word, Qiao Lian gritted her teeth and ran after him.

The wind on the rooftop was more fierce than on the ground. There was a bone-chilling iciness as it whistled around them.

The moment they stepped on the rooftop, their bodies were numb with the cold.

In her hurry to leave the house, Qiao Lian had only worn a sweater over her clothes, thus the wind easily penetrated it, causing her to shake in the freezing temperatures.

However, Song Yuanxi was wearing only a thin hospital gown and she stood there steadily, as though she felt nothing.

There was a policeman in front of her holding a handset and he was trying to talk her around. However, she did not seem to register a word he was saying. She looked spaced-out and had a determined expression.

Shen Liangchuan strode close to where she was and shouted, “Song Yuanxi! What do you think you’re doing?”

His voice was dispersed by the howling wind.

However the moment Song Yuanxi heard his voice, her attention was caught and she seemed to come back to life.

With her eyes lit up, she turned to Shen Liangchuan and her eyes reddened at once. “Brother Liangchuan!”

Shen Liangchuan drew in a deep breath. His heart was now in his throat.

He glared at her and called out, “Come over here at once!”

Song Yuanxi shook her head. “No! I don’t want to live anymore!”

Shen Liangchuan frowned and asked, “Why?”

“Because you no longer want me around. There’s no need for me to keep living!”
