Chapter 321: Chapter 321 Shut Up!

"Shut up!"

Qin Yan suddenly snapped, cutting off Lin Man’s words. Lin Man knew when to stop: "Alright, Yanyan, I know you don’t like hearing this, so I won’t say anymore."

"But after coming back and learning about your life with Yunshen, I’m worried that continuing to live this way will only cause you more harm."

"Yanyan, I can’t stay here for too long. I’m afraid when Yunshen’s parents arrive, I won’t even be able to attend the designer’s exchange conference."

Qin Yan stood absent-mindedly in the stairwell for a while, only then realizing that at some point Lin Man had already left.

In the empty emergency exit, only Qin Yan remained.

She smoothed her hair and turned to walk toward the doors of the operating room.

Gu Jinyan saw her return alone, a trace of surprise flashing in his brows.

"Where is she?"

The ’she’ he referred to was, of course, Lin Man.

Qin Yan’s lips curved slightly, but the upward arc contained little semblance of a smile:

"Gone."

Gu Jinyan’s brows twitched. He glanced at Qin Yan and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, don’t pay attention to her. Now that you’re together with Old Bo and the child is that big already, what kind of trouble can Lin Man stir up?"

Qin Yan remained silent.

Gu Jinyan fixed his gaze on the operating room doors and said, "Sister-in-law, you may not know, when I found Old Bo, the injuries on his back were unspeakably gruesome, and his hands were scorched to the point of being mangled."

"He went into Bai Le Men just to save you!"

"You are in his heart. He just hasn’t come to terms with his own feelings yet."

Qin Yan’s expression didn’t change, as calm as ever, as if what Gu Jinyan was saying had nothing to do with her.

Gu Jinyan didn’t wait for Qin Yan to react. He tilted his head, glancing at her.

Her bright eyes and distinct lashes made Gu Jinyan chuckle.

To be honest, Lin Man could never hope to compare to Qin Yan!

After standing there for a moment, Gu Jinyan spoke again: "Right, there’s one more thing."

"When the incident happened, Lu Xiang came to Bai Le Men looking for you."

"She should still be waiting at the entrance to Bai Le Men now." With that, Gu Jinyan took out his phone and handed it to Qin Yan: "Call her and tell her to stop waiting."

Qin Yan hesitated, took the phone, and asked, "What happened?"

"It’s all because of Lin Man. She said you might still be inside Bai Le Men. At the time, Old Bo’s condition was too severe, and they had already inspected Bai Le Men and confirmed there were no vital signs left inside. The ambulance had already left."

"I was in a hurry to get Old Bo to the hospital, but she refused to leave."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan immediately dialed Lu Xiang’s number. As soon as the call connected, Qin Yan asked, "Xiangxiang, where are you?"

"Yanyan?"

As soon as Lu Xiang heard her voice, she almost broke into tears: "Yanyan, you’re okay!"

Her voice choked with emotion: "You wicked woman, you’re fine, so why didn’t you answer your phone? Were you trying to scare me to death?"

Qin Yan felt a warmth in her heart and said, "Xiangxiang, I’m sorry. I’m fine and not in any danger. When I was escaping from Bai Le Men, I fainted in the chaos. When I woke up, I was already at the hospital, and my phone and bag might still be inside Bai Le Men."

Lu Xiang’s panic dissipated, and she said in a soft voice, "Are you hurt? Which hospital are you at? I’ll come see you..."

"No, don’t trouble yourself. Mr. Feng works you so hard. You’ve already spent the entire day at work; you must be exhausted. Go home and rest quickly."

Lu Xiang: "..."

Had she forgotten something?

Upon learning of the fire at Bai Le Men and realizing Qin Yan was there, she had rushed out in a panic...

Which meant she had left Feng Chen alone at Feng Group?

Lu Xiang hurriedly hung up the phone. Qin Yan chuckled, the weight in her heart dissipating thanks to Lu Xiang’s words.

Returning the phone to Gu Jinyan, the operating room door was pulled open from the inside.

"Doctor, how is Old Bo doing?"

Gu Jinyan stepped forward urgently and asked.

The doctor adjusted his glasses and said in a low voice, "Mr. Bo is temporarily out of critical condition, but he inhaled excessive smoke, which caused uncertain damage to his respiratory system..."

"We’ll have to wait until Mr. Bo wakes up to determine whether there is any danger, or whether it will affect his normal life in the future."

Gu Jinyan fell silent.

The doctor paused briefly and added, "The injuries on Mr. Bo’s body are severe, especially on his back, where repeated trauma exacerbated the wounds. Even if they heal, scarring will remain."

Gu Jinyan waved his hand dismissively and said in a low voice, "He’s not a woman; Old Bo won’t mind."

That said, the burns from the fire—when Old Bo woke up—would likely cause him no shortage of pain.

Standing to the side, Qin Yan, who had been motionless, looked at the doctor and asked, "When will Yunshen wake up?"

"Approximately within the next hour."

Bo Yunshen was undeniably one of the most severe burn cases this hospital had handled this year.

Fortunately, Bo Yunshen had enough knowledge of anatomy. Otherwise, based on the extent of self-injury he had endured at Bai Le Men, his right hand could very well have been permanently crippled.

"Avoid water exposure on the wounds..."

The doctor listed off a series of aftercare instructions while Qin Yan stood quietly beside him, her expression indifferent, making it unclear whether she was even listening. This continued until Bo Yuanshan and Mrs. Bo arrived at the hospital.

Mrs. Bo clutched at her chest tightly, her face pale and completely devoid of color.

She grabbed hold of the doctor’s hand tightly: "Yunshen, where’s my Yunshen?!"

"What’s his condition?"

The doctor hesitated and repeated what he had told Qin Yan earlier: "Mrs. Bo, Mr. Bo’s respiratory system damage may require awaiting his awakening to fully assess..."

"So, outwardly it may appear that my son is out of danger, but in reality, he might still be in unresolved risk?!"

Doctor: "That’s not incorrect."

Mrs. Bo gasped sharply, her chest heaving. She suddenly turned around and shot Qin Yan a cold, venomous glare:

"Yunshen has always been alert and exceptional in his skills—how could he possibly have been injured so severely?"

"Qin Yan, tell me honestly!"

"Was it you again?"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Mrs. Bo shouted, "You bring nothing but misfortune! Ever since Yunshen became involved with you, not a single good thing has happened to him in the past three years!"

Her body trembled uncontrollably. If not for Bo Yuanshan holding her back, Mrs. Bo’s fingers might have jabbed forcefully into Qin Yan’s face.

"Ah Ru, we don’t have all the facts yet. Why are you venting your anger on Yanyan?"

"With so many people in the hospital, acting this way only disgraces the Bo Family."

Mrs. Bo shook off Bo Yuanshan’s hand, steadied her breathing, and coldly sneered, "Fine, I’ll refrain from venting on Qin Yan."
