Mr. Gu, stop being abusive, Miss Xu is marrying your brother.

Nightclub.

Xu Yan takes over the shift and is ready to get off work.

Jiang Heng sent her a WeChat message and asked her to wait at the club.

"Yanyan, Mr. Jiang will be here to entertain guests later, could you please say a few nice words for us." The manager came over and spoke with a smile.

Xu Yan has social phobia and will subconsciously hide from people when she sees them.

The manager didn't mind either and pulled Xu Yan to have a warm chat.

"Who is Xu Yan?" Outside the door, several bodyguards in black came in protecting a woman.

The woman wore sunglasses, high heels, a tight little leather skirt, and a small Chanel jacket. She looked particularly beautiful in such a cold day.

After the woman took off her sunglasses and the bodyguards cleared the place, the manager recognized who it was.

Cheng Lin!

The manager secretly complained, and felt a thump in his heart.

"Are you Xu Yan?" Cheng Lin walked up to Xiaoya and asked.

Xiaoya was so frightened that she shook her head repeatedly.

Cheng Lin looked at everyone and finally asked the manager. "Call Xu Yan out."

Obviously, she doesn't think the current Xu Yan is Jiang Hengneng's type.

Xu Yan was standing in the corner, her head almost buried in the dust. She habitually huddled her shoulders and did not dare to stand up straight.

Because she was afraid of being beaten during her years in prison, she huddled her shoulders to protect herself.

The manager looked at Xu Yan nervously. They still couldn't tell the situation clearly, and they didn't know whether Mr. Jiang or Cheng Lin had stopped.

Mr. Jiang may be new to Xu Yan, but Cheng Lin has been with Mr. Jiang for three years.

Speaking of feelings, the relationship between Cheng Lin and Mr. Jiang is definitely deeper.

"Are you deaf? Who is Xu Yan?" Cheng Lin asked unhappily.

The manager weighed the pros and cons and pointed to Xu Yan in the corner. "She is. Do you have anything to do with her?"

Cheng Lin looked at Xu Yan in surprise, walked over and pinched Xu Yan's chin to look at it carefully. "Are you Xu Yan?"

The look on his face was one of shock and disbelief. "Is Jiang always blind?"

Xu Yan said nothing, took a step back, and continued to lower her head.

Cheng Lin grinded her teeth. She was so aggressive that she wanted to hit someone, but seeing Xu Yan like this... Before she even made a move, the other person looked aggrieved. What a master!

"No, are you sure she is Xu Yan? Did you ask Jiang Heng to deliver breakfast in person?" Cheng Lin asked again suspiciously.

The manager nodded quickly.

Cheng Lin was shocked and looked Xu Yan up and down again. "You and Jiang Heng...slept? He doesn't like your type."

Xu Yan remained silent and lowered her head, as if she wanted to bury herself.

"Ha... I thought it was some kind of fairy. It turns out that I ate too much delicacies from the mountains and seas and fell in love with cabbage?" Cheng Lin muttered. She originally wanted to see where she lost, but when she saw Xu Yan's appearance, she Clearly disappointed.

"You're the only one who wants to steal a man from me?" Cheng Lin pushed Xu Yan.

Xu Yan backed away in fear, lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Cheng Lin was shocked, a master...

She hasn't even touched her yet!

Why don't you enter the entertainment industry with this acting skill?

Cheng Lin's bodyguard came over and grabbed Xu Yan.

"Don't touch me..." Xu Yan reflexively curled up uncontrollably, hugged her head and hid in the low cabinet.

Cheng Lin was startled by Xu Yan's reaction.

The bodyguard also frowned and took a step back.

Cheng Lin looked at Xu Yan carefully and then at the manager. "She...what's going on?"

The manager quickly smoothed things over. "Xu Yan is timid."

"Yanyan!"

After receiving Xiaoya's distress message, Zhang Hui rushed down from upstairs and protected Xu Yan. "Miss Cheng Lin, don't embarrass her. She has stress-induced psychological trauma and severe depression. If you do anything to her or something happens to her, Jiang will never let you go."

Zhang Hui felt a little unsure, but now she could only move out of Jiang Heng.

Cheng Lin looked at Xu Yan in surprise. "Jiang Heng...likes this type recently?"

Zhang Hui protected Xu Yan and spoke again. "Chiang is always afraid of trouble. Don't mess with his people. You know the rules."

Cheng Lin made a sound. "I just want to see who is snatching a man from me."

Turns out to be a psychopath.

Xu Yan's face turned pale. It was not Cheng Lin she was afraid of, but Cheng Lin's bodyguard.

Back then... Zhong Yunxiu and his bodyguards blocked her in an alley. If Xia Cheng hadn't arrived in time, she would have been killed by those people...

From then on, whenever there were more than two men close to her, Xu Yan would become ill, unable to breathe smoothly, trembling all over, and unable to speak a word.

"Yanyan, it's okay." Zhang Hui knew Xu Yan's condition and squatted outside the low cabinet to comfort her softly. "It's okay, can you come out?"

Zhang Hui stayed in prison for two and a half years. During those two and a half years, Xu Yan committed suicide countless times. In the end, the prison guards were afraid that something would happen and sent her for more than a dozen MECT treatments. After each treatment, Xu Yan came back as if A dead body with no soul and empty eyes, and sometimes she doesn't even remember it.

At that time, Zhang Hui did not understand what MECT treatment was.

After she was released from prison, Zhang Hui looked up this treatment plan and cried for a long time, covering her mouth.

It is a kind of electroconvulsive therapy. To put it bluntly, it is to electrocute people until they are numb, allowing the body to temporarily forget some pain and weaken the patient's suicidal tendencies while undergoing electrical stimulation.

But after more treatments, Xu Yan became more and more numb. She became silent and aphasic. In severe cases, she couldn't even take care of herself.

She has a poor memory and forgets things easily, and is often scolded by her fellow inmates.

The prison guards also bullied her.

In short, it was Xu Yan’s hell.

It was the hell that those who had loved her and those she loved personally created for her.

"Don't pretend, hey, I didn't touch you either." Cheng Lin felt that Xu Yan was exaggerating. "You have such good acting skills, you are really blind not to be an actor. Jiang Heng won't just accept your trick, will he? Pretend to be weak?"

Her bodyguard just touched her, right?

"Miss Cheng, don't judge others arbitrarily. If you knew what she had gone through, you wouldn't say that to her." Zhang Hui's eyes turned red and she looked back at Xu Yan. "Yanyan, come out, she won't touch you."

Cheng Lin opened her mouth but said nothing.

Xu Yan huddled in the corner, only the corner could make her feel safe.

Probably, when he was in prison, he got used to hiding under the table.

"Let your bodyguards go out and don't crowd around here." Zhang Hui asked Cheng Lin to take the bodyguards away.

Cheng Lin was so aggressive that she brought so many people here, not to mention Xu Yan, she was scared.

Cheng Lin snorted, put on her sunglasses and left with a bored look on her face.

"Help me find out what's wrong with Xu Yan."

The bodyguard was also curious, and the woman's fear didn't seem like a disguise.

Not long after Cheng Lin and the bodyguards left, Gu Chenyan and Chen Yu entered the club.

"Mr. Gu?" The manager hurriedly greeted him. "But to accept President Jiang's request? Please come here."

Gu Chenyan frowned and walked towards Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui subconsciously protected Xu Yan. "Mr. Gu... Yanyan was a little frightened."

Gu Chenyan seemed to be used to Xu Yan hiding in corners when she was scared.

That day at the Gu family's old house, she also hid in the corner behind the curtains.

"How long do you want to hide?" Gu Chenyan squatted in front of Xu Yan and asked.

Xu Yan bit her finger, looked up at Gu Chenyan, and then lowered her head.

Gu Chenyan stretched out his hand to Xu Yan. "Come out, I'm here, no one dares to touch you."

Xu Yan looked at Gu Chenyan blankly, her eyes burning.
