Chapter 536 Dispute Between Sisters

Shen Shixiu’s pupils moved slightly. In spite of that, he did not reply to Shen Qianan. “It’s late. Jiang Zhan and I will send you back!”

Clearly, the former did not want to answer Shen Qianan’s question. Shen Qianan understood Shen Shixiu’s character perfectly, so she obviously realized that. Hence, no matter what Shen Qianan did, her brother would not give her the answer she sought. Thus, she did not probe further. “Do help me to look after Yu then. I’ll be back soon!”

Shen Qianan went down the stairs and saw that Jiang Zhan was waiting for her. Hurriedly, the latter opened the door for her and said, “Ms. Qianan, please board the car!”

Shen Qianan nodded. However, the moment she went into the car, she regretted it. However, the woman comprehended that at that moment, she could not change her mind. She still wanted to see Shi Nuan. She wanted to visit the person who had a similar fate as her, which was the younger sister whom she had been separated from for more than twenty years.

Shen Qianan had never known that she had a biological sister, so she found the entire situation very intriguing. She recalled that not long ago, they had even been hostile toward one another due to Fu Chengyan.

In hindsight, that was not the case. Shi Nuan had always been extremely calm, while she had been like a clown that showed off her strength in front of the other party. Suddenly, Shen Qianan wanted to find out how Shi Nuan viewed her.

“Ms. Qianan, we are here!”

Jiang Zhan stopped the car outside the hospital’s entrance and opened the door for Shen Qianan. Thereafter, he trailed behind her.

“Mr. Jiang,” Shen Qianan said, after a moment. She quickly stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the assistant. “You don’t have to follow me.”

“Oh, okay!” Jiang Zhan nodded. Then, he added, “Ms. Shi is in this hospital room!” After passing the paper slip to Shen Qianan, he remarked, “You can visit her by yourself. I’ll wait for you downstairs!”

“All right. I’ll return swiftly. I’m sorry for troubling you, Mr. Jiang!”

Subsequently, Shen Qianan approached the hospital building.

Previously, Shi Nuan was openly kidnapped while she was in the hospital, so Fu Chengyan ordered his men to surround the hospital this time. He dispatched many subordinates to guard the area around Shi Nuan’s hospital room and to hide in obscure places near it.

Therefore, Fu Chengyan had heard the news the minute Shen Qianan had set foot in the hospital. Actually, Shen Shixiu had called him earlier on to tell Fu Chengyan that Shen Qianan was visiting Shi Nuan.

After that, Fu Chengyan commanded his men who were protecting Shi Nuan to retreat. He did not want to disturb Shi Nuan and Shen Qianan as they conversed.

When Shen Qianan arrived at the hospital, she discovered that the place was very quiet. The lady was unaware that everyone who entered the hospital then was observed by Fu Chengyan’s troops, so she could not do anything to Shi Nuan.

Shen Qianan was a little nervous. Clenching her fists, she noticed that the corridors of the hospital were unusually silent.

Inhaling deeply, Shen Qianan stopped walking when she reached the door of Shi Nuan’s room.

Standing outside, she peeked at the window and noticed that Shi Nuan had awoken. One of her hands had an IV drip attached to it, and the other hand was holding a magazine that the latter was reading intently. She did not appear to have detected Shen Qianan’s presence.

Perhaps Shi Nuan was tired, for she stretched her neck. Nonetheless, she immediately felt tremendous pain in her body. This caused her to hunch over in agony. Consequently, the magazine in her hand dropped onto the floor.

Shen Qianan looked at Shi Nuan through the window. The latter appeared to suffer greatly as she held her stomach with one hand and pressed a button with another hand.

Shi Nuan seemed very uncomfortable. Standing outside the room, Shen Qianan had also appeared to feel the pain her sister felt. It tormented her to the point that she almost stopped breathing.

The door was speedily pushed open. Shen Qianan rushed into the room and asked, “Are you all right?”

Hearing the clear and melodic voice above her, Shi Nuan was stunned. She instantly raised her head and locked eyes with Shen Qianan. When she realized who the person in the room was, the agony in her eyes was replaced with confusion. “You…” Why did Shen Qianan come here?

Before Shi Nuan finished speaking, she bent over in pain. The lady seemed as if she was suffering a lot.

“Are you okay? Did your disease flare up again?”

“Flare up?” Shi Nuan stared at Shen Qianan and questioned, “What do you mean?”

Then, she explained, “It’s just fetal activity. The child in my body is very mischievous!” Shi Nuan glanced at Shen Qianan worriedly. Following that, the worry turned to confusion. “Why’re you here?”

she asked.

Shi Nuan did not expect to interact frequently with Shen Qianan. Of course, she assumed that the latter did not know about their kinship. Hence, Shi Nuan was clueless as to why Shen Qianan would visit her.

However, she felt as if Shen Qianan was looking at her oddly, so she continued speaking. “I’m pregnant with twins, so my belly looks much bigger than normal. The two kids are very naughty, so…”

Shi Nuan smiled, “Why don’t you sit here for a while? I’m fine now.”

“Oh!” Shen Qianan exclaimed. She thought that Shi Nuan’s illness had started acting up again. Nevertheless, is Shi Nuan kept in the dark about her ailment?

As Shen Qianan thought about it, she looked at Shi Nuan once more. The expression on her face changed.

Meanwhile, Shi Nuan turned her away from Shen Qianan and sucked in a deep breath. Her fingers clenched into a fist and she forced herself to ignore the pain. After a long pause, she overcame the agony while gritting her teeth.

Shi Nuan grinned at Shen Qianan and said, “So, what’s the purpose of your visit?”

“I… I heard that you had gotten into an accident, so I came to visit you.” Shen Qianan did not know how to talk to Shi Nuan at the moment. When she gazed upon her sister’s face, which looked similar to hers, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Initially, when she was unaware that Shi Nuan and her were sisters, Shen Qianan felt resentful. This was so because they looked similar to each other, and she was a replacement for Shi Nuan.

Nonetheless, the minute she realized Shi Nuan was Shu Qing’s daughter, an indescribable feeling grew in Shen Qianan’s heart. Yet, she still did not like the other woman. Presently, when she saw Shi

Nuan again, Shen Qianan thought that everything did not matter to her anymore in the face of life and death.

Hence, she said, “I’ve discovered the truth.”

Thereafter, Shi Nuan flinched. She raised her head to look at Shen Qianan again.

After that, she burst out laughing abruptly. “I see!” So that’s why Qianan has been looking at me weirdly.

At first, she thought that the other party was pitying her, but since Shen Qianan had told her what had happened, she was relieved. “How did you find out about it?”

“Shen Shixiu spoke to me!” Calmly, Shen Qianan stared at Shi Nuan and inquired, “Well, did you realize it a long time ago?”

Shi Nuan shook her head. “I only found out about it recently.” She thought that Shen Shixiu would inform Shen Qianan eventually, but she did not know that the man would tell her that then. “So, I’m sure the purpose of your visit isn’t just to check up on me, right?” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Actually, Shi Nuan was not as serene as she had presented herself to be. After all, the person in front of her was her older sister. They had been separated for many years, but they did not interact with one another for a long time. Although there was no affection between them, they were still related by blood. Hence, she wanted to know how Shen Qianan viewed her.

Shen Qianan gripped her fist tightly. Upon witnessing Shi Nuan’s calm demeanor, she uttered, “Honestly, I admire you quite a bit. Back then, I was jealous of you. Now, I admire you.”

Uncertain, Shi Nuan glanced at Shen Qianan. The other woman smiled at her. “At that time, I was so dedicated to Fu Chengyan, but he did not like me at all. In truth, why would I be unaware that he didn’t

love me? However, he was willing to have me by his side, so I thought that I was different from others. Hence, I wouldn’t care who was with him because I told myself that I would just get rid of them. He pretended not to know what was happening and seemed to approve of what I was doing. Naively, I assumed that I was special in Fu Chengyan’s eyes due to that.”

She added, “I thought that even if he didn’t love me, I’d be contented to stay by his side like this. However, later on…”

“Later on?” Shi Nuan paused. Then, she seemed to have realized something and said, “You met Yu’s biological father after that?”

Shen Qianan was briefly astounded at Shi Nuan’s words. Following that, she chuckled helplessly. “Aren’t I funny? I said that I loved Fu Chengyan but birthed someone else’s child later on. I don’t even know what that man looks like.”

As she spoke, Shen Qianan’s gaze was a little self-deprecating. “However, I had no choice. When I met him, I was undergoing a painful period. Ironically, it was also my happiest period at the time.” Shen Qianan glanced at Shi Nuan and continued speaking. “You’re lucky. Although your parents have abandoned you, you had two grandfathers who loved you. You even had Fu Chengyan! What about me? The person kidnapped me to threaten Fu Chengyan. I was just a part of his game.”

Shi Nuan peered at Shen Qianan and asked, “Do you love him?”

In response, Shen Qianan jerked back slightly. Subsequently, she shook her head and muttered, “I don’t know.”

“Why did you return to the country then?” Shi Nuan questioned.

The other party replied, “I wasn’t happy. Why was I the only victim in the kidnapping case four years ago? Thus, I needed to seek out Fu Chengyan.”

“So you returned. You returned to Yan because you wanted the perpetrator to come back?” Shi Nuan did not know if her guess was correct, but when she observed Shen Qianan’s face, she thought that her assumption was spot on. “You love that man,” Shi Nuan remarked.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qianan chortled. “Maybe!” She did not retort nor confess her feelings to Shi Nuan.

Love?

Shen Qianan was unsure if she actually loved that man. Yet, she could not comprehend how she could continue living her life like this. Sometimes, when she gazed at Yu’s face, she wondered if that man had a similar face as her son.

“Shi Nuan, do you hate me?” Shen Qianan pondered aloud.

Shi Nuan trembled slightly. “Why would I hate you?”

Shen Qianan moved her lips wordlessly. Thereafter, she began speaking. “My obsession with Fu Chengyan has vanished after all these years. In spite of all that, I envy you, for Fu Chengyan kept me by his side because I looked like you. Moreover, he was repaying me for rescuing him that year.” As she thought about it, Shen Qianan found the situation very laughable. She voiced out, “I hated you.”

Shi Nuan fell silent. She did not expect her to say that.

“I-”

“The person who took you away was wearing a mask, right?” Shen Qianan interrupted Shi Nuan’s words. Shi Nuan hesitated for a while before nodding quickly. “Yes,” she said.

“Okay.” Shen Qianan stood up. She declared, “I’m at ease now since you’re all right. It’s late, so I’ll have to return and look after Yu! If he doesn’t see me when he wakes up, he’ll cry.”
