Perhaps it was because of the shock last night, Liang Yan only managed to fall asleep at dawn. When she woke up in the afternoon, she felt a dull pain in her heart.

However, she had already finished the medicine. Liang Yan had no choice but to go to the hospital to get some medicine for treatment.

She had a congenital heart disease. Originally, it had eased a lot through surgery, but ever since the beating five years ago and these five years of pulling all nighters and irregular sleep schedule, there were serious signs of failure.

Regardless of whether it was an IV or eating medicine, there was no way to control the illness.

Unless a suitable heart appeared, she would only die. She would not live for more than three months.

However, it was extremely difficult to have a suitable heart source. She was already in the late stages of heart failure, so she no longer had any extravagant hopes.

In the hospital.

The attending physician advised Liang Yan to be hospitalized again. Liang Yan politely declined and took the medicine. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly felt a gaze on her when she passed by the hall.

Following that gaze, Liang Yan saw Pei Yu leaning not far away, staring at her without blinking.

Liang Yan held her breath and clenched her fists nervously.

Why was he here?

Was he feeling unwell?

Even though they had broken up, Liang Yan still subconsciously cared about Pei Yu.

However, when she thought about how she no longer had the status to care about Pei Yu, Liang Yan’s eyes gradually dimmed.

Just as she was hesitating if she should go forward, a beautiful figure pounced into Pei Yu’s arms and said sweetly, “Ah Yu, thank you for accompanying me to visit my friend.”

Only then did Pei Yu retract his gaze. He patted Chen Yuan’s head gently and led her away.

Liang Yan suddenly lowered her head, not daring to look at the loving scene between the two of them.

Her heart ached uncontrollably again.

Liang Yan held back her tears and stuffed a handful of medicine into her mouth. She walked towards the door on the other side in a daze.s

Before he could calm down, a message notification suddenly sounded.

It was Chu Zhou.

“There’s a banquet tonight. I’m missing a date. I’ll send someone to pick you up then.”

His firm tone made Liang Yan frown.

She did not want to go, but she knew that she had no right to refuse.

If she angered Chu Zhou, she would be fine, but Hu Die…

Liang Yan could only agree.

In the evening, Chu Zhou sent an assistant to pick her up and brought her directly to a high-end studio. When a few stylists and makeup artists saw her coming, they immediately swarmed over and styled her.

Her originally smooth and straight hair was permed into French waves. Her pure and clean face was covered with exquisite and bright makeup. In an instant, she went from a delicate and innocent girl to a dazzling beauty.

The low-cut red velvet evening gown made her look even more sexy and enchanting. The pearl necklace that was worth tens of millions on her neck made her look like a noble lady.

Liang Yan looked at herself in the mirror in a daze, not knowing what to do.

She was beautiful, but it was not like her.

After the makeover, the assistant sent Liang Yan to a private villa.

Walking into the villa, she saw an extremely luxurious hall. A huge crystal lamp hung from the round roof, illuminating the entire villa. The guests entering and exiting were all political and business celebrities. They were all gathered in groups of twos and threes, raising their glasses and chatting.

Liang Yan was about to look for Chu Zhou when a large hand suddenly wrapped around her waist and pulled her into his arms.

Chu Zhou pulled Liang Yan into his arms and said intimately, “You’re so beautiful today.”

Liang Yan yelped and placed her hand on Chu Zhou’s chest, trying to avoid his touch. “Young Master Chu, this isn’t a bar. You shouldn’t be like this.”

Only then did Chu Zhou let go. He shrugged and said nonchalantly, “You’re too beautiful today. I couldn’t help myself. You don’t mind, do you?”

“Of course not.” Liang Yan smiled politely.

“Let’s go. Come with me to see President Jiang over there.” Chu Zhou extended his arm.

Liang Yan could only hold his arm obediently and walk with him towards the man who was surrounded by guests not far away.

However, when she saw the man’s face clearly, Liang Yan froze.

Jiang Sheng… It was actually Jiang Sheng.

That painful memory swept over her, and Liang Yan felt a faint pain in her chest.

She subconsciously took a step back, wanting to escape.

“What’s wrong?” Sensing that something was wrong with the person beside him, Chu Zhou frowned slightly, “Don’t embarrass me, or I’ll teach you a lesson.”

Liang Yan could only force her heart to calm down. She continued to hook onto his arm and walked up to Jiang Sheng.

The moment Jiang Sheng’s gaze met Liang Yan’s, he froze slightly.

He frowned slightly, as if he had recalled a bad memory.
