Obsessive Love, The Possessive Real Young Lady - Chapter 57

“No,” Su Sui spit the foam from her mouth into the washbasin. “I have a strong sense of possessiveness. Seeing you be nice to her makes me want to choke Gao Wei.”

After saying that, she turned to face Shen Jiayan and added, word by word, very seriously, “I am not joking with you about this.”

In reality, she hadn’t told a single lie.

Every time she saw Shen Jiayan’s meticulous care for Gao Wei, she had more than once harbored evil thoughts wanting to secretly kill Gao Wei and then burn the body on a deserted mountain, so Shen Jiayan could never find her.

At that time, her relationship with Shen Jiayan wasn’t as harmonious as it is now, and she could still suppress those terrifying thoughts with a degree of restraint.

But now, even though Shen Jiayan hadn’t said “I love you” to her, the two of them understood each other’s hearts. That possessiveness grew even stronger.

She could do everything in her power to help Shen Jiayan treat Gao Wei’s illness, but she truly could no longer tolerate Shen Jiayan being good to Gao Wei as before.

Moreover, Gao Wei already had feelings for Shen Jiayan, compounded by Fu Jing’s lurking threat.

It was absolutely impossible to let Shen Jiayan go to the hospital.

Shen Jiayan’s gaze fell upon her own reflection in the mirror. For a moment, she almost adored this madwoman’s possessiveness.

Having been cherished since childhood, only she knew that her heart had always felt empty. Su Sui’s appearance perfectly filled that void.

Similarly, facing Su Sui like this, Shen Jiayan knew she couldn’t confront her head-on; otherwise, neither of them would come out well.

She just needed to go along with it.

Shen Jiayan adjusted her mindset and said, trying to soften her tone, “Then will you come with me? Holding hands, just to take a look, say a few words, and come right back.” As she spoke, she took Su Sui’s hand and playfully bit it near her lips as a form of appeasement.

But Su Sui showed no inclination to acknowledge her. Instead, she coldly pulled her hand away, walked to the bedside from the washroom, opened her laptop, and began browsing the news, seemingly unwilling to discuss it further.

She sat in the chair, legs crossed, her gaze fixed on the screen, her fingers lightly tapping the keyboard, presenting an image of gentle elegance.

It was as if the intense words she had just spoken to Shen Jiayan were merely a simple, calm statement.

“…”

Shen Jiayan pursed her lips and stood silently on the spot.

She looked at Su Sui’s side profile, unable to discern any trace of emotion.

This made Shen Jiayan feel that Su Sui hadn’t taken what she said to heart, or perhaps didn’t even bother to remember it.

A hint of irritation began to surface in her heart.

This irritation felt awkward, dry, like the grating sound of rusted iron scraping against itself, making one’s teeth itch unbearably.

It made Shen Jiayan instinctively want to bite something.

She strode forward, forcefully closed the notebook in front of Su Sui, gripped Su Sui’s neck, and kissed her.

Their breaths mingled, carrying the scent of blood.

Shen Jiayan kissed with frantic urgency, like a beast tearing at its prey. Su Sui, however, remained calm, wrapped her arms tightly around Shen Jiayan’s slender waist, deepening the kiss.

The chair creaked slightly under their combined weight.

After a long moment, Shen Jiayan stopped, looking down at the woman whose lip she had bitten until it bled.

Su Sui licked the blood from her lip. “What’s wrong?”

Shen Jiayan remained silent for a while.

She pulled the corner of her mouth. “What do you mean, what’s wrong? Asking when you clearly know is no fun anymore.”

Su Sui smiled. “Does this mean I won again?”

“Yes, you won again,” Shen Jiayan replied frankly. “Taking advantage of my feelings for you, you can act out as much as you want.” She released Su Sui and walked straight out.

Leaving behind Su Sui, who hadn’t yet calmed down from the frenzy, sitting in the chair, eyes closed, savoring the sweet, bloody taste lingering in her mouth.

Shen Jiayan ultimately did not go to see Gao Wei.

After washing up, she ate the breakfast Su Sui had bought.

Su Sui always bought food based on Shen Jiayan’s preferences, and this time was no exception.

Pan-fried buns paired with a bowl of savory tofu pudding were so delicious that she couldn’t help but secretly scorn the imported milk and toast breakfast combination again.

She had a small appetite; after eating three buns and half a bowl of tofu pudding, she was almost full. She casually placed the partially eaten bun on the table, took a napkin to meticulously wipe her fingers clean, and then sent a message to Gao Wei: [A’Wei, my eyes feel uncomfortable. I can’t stand strong light, so I can only visit you in a few days.]

The excuse was so unconvincing that she doubted it herself, wondering if the perceptive Gao Wei would notice.

After sending the message, there was no reply for a long time.

Shen Jiayan glanced at the time.

It was 9:36 AM.

Based on her previous experience accompanying Gao Wei, she should be undergoing radiation therapy right now.

She decided to browse short videos instead.

After watching only a few, she stumbled upon an XX social news report with the headline: [Abandoned at birth, diagnosed with leukemia at 18, she fights the disease in her prime.] Although the subject in the video was discreetly pixelated by the thoughtful blogger, Shen Jiayan instantly recognized that it was Gao Wei.

Gao Wei’s expression seemed very resistant to appearing on camera like this.

She spoke evasively, keeping her head down.

Shen Jiayan then recalled that Gao Wei had mentioned a journalist interviewing her via WeChat the previous night. She had intended to ask more, but Su Sui interrupted.

Su Sui had just finished communicating with the private investigator. As she left the room, she saw Shen Jiayan frowning while watching the video.

She walked over, casually picked up the half-eaten pan-fried bun from Shen Jiayan’s plate, and took a bite. “What’s wrong?”

Shen Jiayan handed her phone over. “Did you do this?”

Su Sui took the phone and scrolled casually. All the video content was about Gao Wei.

It seemed the 200,000 yuan sponsorship fee hadn’t been wasted; the effect was quite good.

“Mm,” Su Sui swallowed the food in her mouth. “This way, it can attract more charitable people to do bone marrow matching.”

But this was only one of the veiled reasons.

Shen Jiayan snatched her phone back and placed it on the table in front of Su Sui.

It landed with enough force to splash the remaining half-bowl of savory tofu pudding.

“Don’t you think there’s something inappropriate about doing this?”

Shen Jiayan stared at Su Sui, her expression clearly much more solemn.

“Inappropriate?” Su Sui looked up at her. “Then tell me, what method is appropriate?”

Her tone was lazy, carrying a hint of nonchalance.

Shen Jiayan pursed her lips and remained silent.

She couldn’t exactly tell Su Sui that what she was doing was hurting Gao Wei’s self-esteem. Although Gao Wei appeared cheerful, she was actually very insecure.

Once, after they finished a meal, they were walking and chatting by the river.

They were initially discussing frustrating things that happened at work, but as the conversation evolved, Gao Wei confided in her for the first time.

She said she was an orphan, so she learned to please others from a young age—by studying hard, being obedient, and sensible just so someone would adopt her and give her a home.

However, reality often proved otherwise.

Because of her poor health, she was often overlooked by those potential adoptive parents, leading to repeated rejections and being passed over. As she grew older, she was even less competitive than the younger, more innocent children.

Eventually, whenever the orphanage mother brought prospective parents, she would just stand smiling in the back row.

In her heart, she was an orphan and a product left behind after all the better choices were made.

Therefore, even though she had leukemia, she didn’t want to gain sympathy by exploiting her status as an orphan.

Su Sui’s actions were undoubtedly pushing Gao Wei onto a stage where her tragedy was being peddled.

Shen Jiayan didn’t know Su Sui’s state of mind when she did this, but it was certainly too cruel to Gao Wei.

“You…” Shen Jiayan paused to choose her words. “I know that doing this will indeed attract public attention to Gao Wei in a short time, and it might also prompt some charitable people to do bone marrow matching. It’s just that I hope when you make such decisions in the future, you can slightly consider Gao…” She paused, then continued, “…the feelings of the person involved.”

“The person involved? You mean Gao Wei?” Su Sui glanced at Shen Jiayan with a detached look, a faint, mocking arc appearing at the corner of her lips. “She’s about to die, does she still need self-esteem and feelings? Don’t you think that’s a bit hypocritical?”

Shen Jiayan was stunned. “What?”

Su Sui turned away, unwilling to look at her anymore. “Shen Jiayan, you’ve been with Gao Wei for four years. You’ve really become increasingly stupid.”

This sentence inexplicably ignited Shen Jiayan’s anger. “Su Sui!”

Su Sui snorted lightly. “You want Gao Wei to live, but you also want to protect her pathetic self-esteem? Stop being ridiculous, okay?”

Su Sui spoke bluntly, her words like blades piercing Shen Jiayan’s chest, fiercely scraping at her heart.

How could she not know that persuading someone to willingly donate bone marrow was as difficult as climbing to heaven?

Only she knew how many people she had secretly begged over the years to help Gao Wei find a match.

But even when Su Sui laid these facts before her, she stubbornly felt that Su Sui’s methods were too extreme.

Shen Jiayan’s face turned pale. “Su Sui, that’s enough!”

“Are you trying to lose your temper with me?” Su Sui retorted. “Shouldn’t I be the one losing my temper?”

She picked up a pan-fried bun in her hand and stated the facts calmly. “Gao Wei is a stranger to me. The only reason I’m going to all this trouble to help her is because of you, to make things easier for you. But what about you? From the moment you saw me after returning to the country, it’s been Gao Wei, Gao Wei, Gao Wei!!!!”

As her emotions peaked, Su Sui flipped the plate holding the pan-fried buns. “I know that in your heart, she is even more important than me! But why, why do you have to constantly remind me of that fact in front of me?!”

The plate crashed onto the floor, scattering its contents everywhere.

After the sharp “smash,” Shen Jiayan felt Su Sui’s sharp voice still reverberating in her ears, like a dagger brutally stabbing her eardrum.

These words acted like a stone hitting a calm lake, sending ripples across the surface.

The air seemed to fall silent.

After a long while, Su Sui took two deep breaths, forcefully suppressing the surging anger in her heart.

She actively moved closer to the stunned Shen Jiayan, who didn’t know how to react, and pulled her into her arms.

She buried her face in Shen Jiayan’s neck, inhaling deeply. “Jiayan, sometimes I really want to ask you. How far do you need me to go before you consider my feelings first?”

Her fingertips gently stroked Shen Jiayan’s cheek as she spoke softly. “Go back. Take your Gao Wei. Go back to H City, which you like. Go back to your seaside bar, go back to the small courtyard you prefer.”

After saying this, Su Sui left.

By the time Shen Jiayan came to her senses and rushed out, all she saw were the single set of footprints left in the snow.
