Chapter 498 Tang Yan's Regret
Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety-Eight
"Enough, I won't waste any more words with you. I need to quickly take care of the things at hand, instruct those below, and then we must immediately set off for Yunkun Province," Song Yi said hastily, handing Long Xiaoshan a cup of tea before immediately returning behind the boss's desk to busy herself.
Long Xiaoshan held the tea, crossed his legs, and leisurely sipped it.
After making seven or eight phone calls and processing more than a dozen documents, Song Yi summoned the vice president and several important managers for a series of instructions. An hour had passed.
Song Yi finally got all the company business in order and said, "Let's go, we're leaving. The plane takes off in three hours. I've already bought the tickets. We still need to rush to Tianfu City, and that's just enough travel time. We need to hurry."
Long Xiaoshan was speechless and said, "You're really in a rush, aren't you?"
"Time is money," Song Yi said.
Long Xiaoshan rolled his eyes and said, "Like you, always hands-on; it's a wonder you don't work yourself to death. Look at me, I don't manage anything and still make money."
"Can I even compare with you, you freak?"
Song Yi shot back, "The stuff from your farm has no trouble selling. Okay then, we can talk about anything else on the way."
Song Yi pulled Long Xiaoshan out of the door.
"What about your things, have you prepared all your stuff?"
"Just bring money. We can buy toiletries and anything else we need on the spot; carrying stuff back and forth is too much of a hassle," Song Yi said carefreely. After going downstairs, a Mercedes-Benz S was parked at the door with a driver waiting there.
The two got into the car, and the Mercedes sped off, heading straight for Tianfu City Airport.
Song Yi was impatient by nature, and the driver she had hired was just as eager, a real speed demon. They roared down the freeway, overtaking countless cars. Just over two hours later, they arrived at Tianfu City Airport and boarded a plane to Yunkun Province.
In a luxurious villa in QY City.
A woman with short hair, styled like a tomboy, stood in the bathroom with a troubled look on her face.
In front of her was a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror, reflecting her naked body. Despite her boyish appearance, her figure was extremely perfect—curvaceous and voluptuous. Most women would be vain if they had such a figure, but she showed no signs of delight.
This was because her originally perfect, smooth skin had developed many red, dark spots. These spots were multiplying, initially appearing near her buttocks but now spreading to her lower abdomen, waist, and even her chest.
She had gone to the hospital more than once.
However, the doctors couldn't find the cause. They only prescribed her some routine skin medications to apply.
After using the medications, not only was there no effect, but she felt the spread of the spots was accelerating.
This began to cause her panic.
Though she disliked her feminine identity, she still didn't want her body to become so unsightly.
She couldn't help but think back to the class reunion from ten days ago.
At the reunion, she saw Su Wan, her best girlfriend from high school, who had grown ever more beautiful and sexy, stirring her heart. Even as a woman, she had no interest in men and only liked being with women—a certainty that grew stronger when she went abroad to study and mingled with those circles.
She had originally planned to slowly connect with Su Wan and eventually win her over, using the status of best girlfriend.
Unexpectedly, Su Wan already had a boyfriend.
Naturally, she was extremely annoyed, and she felt that the man was not worthy of Su Wan at all. He was so much younger and richer; she suspected that he could just be some wealthy heir.

So she tried everything she could to break them up, and naturally didn't show a pleasant face to Su Wan's boyfriend.
Little did she know that the guy was no pushover, and he called her out for being a lesbian right then and there.
She had no idea how he had figured it out, leaving her utterly humiliated at the reunion.
What made her the most furious was that the man hinted she had caught some disease from messing around with women, putting it so delicately. Wasn't he basically saying that she had caught an STD?
This practically ruined her reputation.
That bastard was too hateful. Although she indeed had a few girlfriends overseas, she was very picky about them, okay? They weren't the promiscuous type to just mess around. Moreover, she had always been careful in bed; lesbians aren't like gay men who can actually penetrate the other's body.
She simply refused to believe that she had contracted an STD.
She took the man's comments as nothing but malicious slander.
She was thinking about revenge, but who would have known that after she returned, she began to see more and more red spots appearing on her body, just as Long Xiaoshan had described.
That couldn't help but make her panic.
Especially after multiple unsuccessful medical consultations.
The panic in her heart intensified. Could it be that Long Xiaoshan was right, and the disease was because of sleeping with women? Now she was out of options. If the condition worsened, she wouldn't be able to show her face and go out anymore.
Back then, that guy had said he could treat it.
Although going to him for help would be embarrassing and strip her of her dignity, for the sake of her health, even if it meant losing face, she had no choice.
With determination, she put on a bathrobe and walked out, picking up her phone to dial Su Wan's number.
Su Wan was at Bai's Medicinal Materials Company office at the time.
When she heard the phone ring and saw the caller ID, she answered, "Tang Yan."
"Little Wan," Tang Yan spoke with some difficulty, after all, Su Wan knew about her lesbian identity.
Being a smart woman, Su Wan surmised Tang Yan's thoughts and assured her with a smile, "Tang Yan, no matter what your identity is or who you like, we're still good friends, and that won't change."
"Little Wan," Tang Yan said gratefully, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just, I just..."
Su Wan interrupted, "I know. Let's not talk about that, do you need something from me?"
"Yes, actually... I wanted to see your boyfriend, is he there?" Tang Yan braced herself as she asked.
Su Wan thought back to what Long Xiaoshan had said at the reunion and immediately asked, "Was Xiaoshan right? Did you develop some problem with your health?"
Tang Yan's voice was downcast, "Yes, I've gotten quite a few red spots on my body. Is your boyfriend really a doctor?"
"Yes, he's a very skilled doctor. A few months ago, I had a brain tumor, and the hospital was afraid to operate, but he managed to make my tumor disappear with just a few needles," Su Wan explained.
Tang Yan knew Su Wan wouldn't lie to her, and this made her even more anxious. She said, "Then, is he available now? If he's willing to help me, I'm willing to apologize to him and pay him a good sum of money."
Su Wan replied, "Let's not talk about money. You're my friend, and I'll definitely help you. I'll call him right now."
Su Wan picked up another phone and dialed Long Xiaoshan's number.
The phone returned an off signal. At that moment, Long Xiaoshan had already boarded a plane to Yunkun, and his phone was off.
