Chapter 39: No Plastic Surgery

Translator: Lonelytree

Hearing this, Jiang Niansheng smiled sadly. ‘So he chose to believe Ye Ziya and Xia Ciawei.’

“What if I don’t want to go?” Jiang Niansheng said.

Sheng Hanye said plainly, “Going to the hospital can prove your innocence.”

“But I’m innocent!”

“Then you shouldn’t mind proving it.”

Jiang Niansheng bit her lower lip and turned around angrily. “Sheng Hanye, you don’t understand, do you? Why I don’t want to go to the hospital?!”

Sheng Hanye frowned slightly and wanted to walk towards her, but Xia Caiwei quickly grabbed his arm. He stopped.

Jiang Niansheng looked at him in disappointment. “Some random person jumped out and framed me for plastic surgery so I have to prove myself. Why shouldn’t they have to prove their accusation? Why is the onus on me?”

Jiang Niansheng did not have plastic surgery, so she was not afraid of going to the hospital. However, she was extremely disappointed.

“Sheng Hanye, what about next time? When someone says I’ve cheated on you, are you going to have me flogged and stoned to prove my innocence? Why do I need to prove myself when I have done nothing wrong? To assuage these bloody schemers?”

Jiang Niansheng really wanted to cry, but she held it in. At that moment, she realized how isolated and helpless she was.

It was the first time Sheng Hanye saw Jiang Niansheng looking at him like that. There was sadness and helplessness but she was as stubborn as ever.

“Big brother.” Sheng Miaomiao. “I thought you came to support sister-in-law. How can you side with Ye Ziya and Xia Caiwei instead? This is so disappointing.”

Sheng Hanye’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he took another step forward.

“Hanye…” Xia Caiwei pulled him back.

He brushed away Xia Caiwei’s hand.

Jiang Niansheng blinked quickly and forced back her tears. As Sheng Hanye approached, she wanted to escape.

“Follow me,” his voice was low and hoarse. “You have to go to the hospital.”

Because he also wanted to prove one thing. If Jiang Niansheng really had had plastic surgery, then he would give up completely. He would not harbor the hope that Jiang Niansheng was Wen Wan anymore.

“I’m not going anywhere!” Jiang Niansheng struggled, “Sheng Hanye, you…”

“You have no choice!” Sheng Hanye bent down, carried her and strode of the mall. 

At that moment, the manager of the mall rushed over. When he saw the scene, he was dumbfounded. “CEO Sheng, thank you for gracing us with your presence…”

“Maintain the order at the mall. Also, don’t let anyone know about what happened here.”

The manager nodded and bowed. “Of course. Don’t worry.”

Sheng Shi Group owned this mall, so everything here belonged to Sheng Hanye…

‘Then why did I waste my time coming here to buy him a gift?’ thought Jiang Niansheng.

…

At the hospital, Sheng Hanye stood guard at the door with one hand in the pocket of his trousers, quietly waiting for the results of the examination.

Ten minutes later, the doctor came out.

“How is it?” He asked, “Did she have any plastic surgery before?” 

“Mr. Sheng, according to my experience and the result of the examination, Mrs. Sheng hasn’t had any plastic surgery.”

“Are you sure?”

The doctor nodded. “Yes, I bet my professional life on it.”

Jiang Niansheng walked out without even looking at Sheng Hanye.

Sheng Hanye followed her.

He grabbed her wrist. “Are you angry with me?”

“What do you think? I don’t even have the right to be angry?” Jiang Niansheng countered. “I can’t control whether to have a baby or not, and now I can’t even control my own emotions?”

“I can apologize to you.”

Jiang Niansheng snorted. “Sheng Hanye, you truly are one proud man. Even your apology can sound so dismissive. Plus what do you mean by can? You should apologize to me.”

“I can have Ye Ziya and Xia Caiwei… to apologize to you too.”

“No need!” She replied. “I don’t want to see any of you.”

…

Back at the Sheng Shi Group, the tension was high. Anger was written on Jiang Niansheng’s face. When she looked up and saw Sheng Hanye standing at the door, she was furious. She got up and slammed the door in his face. Out of sight, out of mind!

The loud door slamming startled everyone.

Wei Lian trembled. “CEO Sheng…”

“Let her be.” Sheng Hanye frowned. “Or do you have any ideas?”

“Huh? What Ideas?”

“How to appease a woman.”

“Erm…” Wei Lian was also a bachelor. He scratched his head. “CEO Sheng, why don’t you ask Doctor Si?”

That made sense. Si Cang was always good with the ladies.

…

Ten minutes later…

“Hello, is there a Miss Jiang Niansheng here?” The delivery man appeared at the door with a big bouquet of flowers in his arms.

Everyone looked in the same direction.

Jiang Niansheng didn’t even look at him. “Throw it away.”

“Hello, Miss Jiang. The limited-edition gemstone necklace you ordered has arrived. Do you want to try it on now?” The manager of the jewelry store arrived wearing white gloves and holding a red velvet box.

“I didn’t order it. You got the wrong person.”

“But the name on the receipt is you.”

Jiang Niansheng, “…”

Then another salesperson appeared. “Miss Jiang, the new car you ordered is downstairs. Do you want to go for a test drive now?”

Flowers, jewelry, and luxury cars. What was Sheng Hanye trying to do?

Jiang Niansheng slammed the mouse on the table and stomped into the president’s office.

“What is it that you want?”

He crossed his arms and leaned against the back of the chair. “Don’t you like them?”

“No.”

“Then what do you like?” Sheng Hanye asked. “I can buy them for you.”

Jiang Niansheng answered word by word, “I don’t want anything!”

“Are you still angry with me?”

“What do you think?”

“Jiang Niansheng,” he said indifferently, “Enough is enough.”

“Yeah.” She smiled when she heard that. “In your opinion, money can make up for trampling on someone’s pride.”

Sheng Hanye looked at her. “I have never done so much for a woman.”

“Should I feel honored? Sheng Hanye, money is very useful, but it can’t buy everything!”

‘Does he think he’s so great because he has some stinky dollars? Does he think the money is going to one’s heart?’

“It’s just a trip to the hospital. Why are you so angry?” Sheng Hanye raised his eyebrows. “I don’t understand.”

“Of course you don’t. Because you’ve never learned to really respect and trust a person before!”

After shouting that, Jiang Niansheng turned around and left.

Sheng Hanye was left sitting alone in front of his desk. After a moment of silence, he muttered to himself, “In my position, the only one I can trust is myself.” It was lonely at the top.

Jiang Niansheng walked out of the elevator, immersed in her thoughts. Thanks to her carelessness, she bumped into someone.

“Don’t you have eyes?” The other party scolded, “Which department are you from? You’re fired!”

Jiang Niansheng looked closely. “Sheng Tianhong?”
