Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Flying Vinegar Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Flying Vinegar “Was it Pei Yansi’s doing?” Shen Heyu asked.
Lu Yi thought for a few seconds, considering whether saying so would stress her out, but eventually, he nodded. “Yes.”
Shen Heyu hung her head in silence for a long while, then said, “I’m sorry.”
If not for her, Pei Yansi would not have targeted Lu Yi, for the Lu Family’s company was nothing significant to him; he had no need to do so.
Even if he acquired the Lu Family’s company, it would only benefit him slightly.
It was all because of her.
Lu Yi frowned, looking at her bowed head, suddenly feeling that she was very vulnerable. The dim light here cast her figure even thinner.
He suddenly felt a strong urge to stroke her hair, to comfort her.
Thinking so, he did just that. His fingers touched her head, her soft hair sliding through his palm.
He said, “Don’t apologize; this isn’t related to you. You must have tried your best. Let’s just say we can’t control his actions.”
Shen Heyu felt his act of stroking her head was very gentle, nothing like Pei Yansi.
She looked up, gazing sincerely at him, “Don’t worry, I will continue to help you. When I return to the country, I will co and help you.”
“Are you going to switch jobs?” he laughed, half-jokingly.
Shen Heyu smiled and nodded, “Shen Jiangli will agree. Since this situation arose because of , I won’t just stand by and watch.”
Lu Yi, with a smile, looked at her with an extrely gentle expression. “I’ve also temporarily left the hospital now. I’m dealing with many things in the company, and there are many areas I still don’t understand. If you co, maybe you could teach .”
Shen Heyu was amused by his words.
What made her feel even worse and more guilty was that Lu Yunlan had never reached out to her because of this issue. She surely knew that she had been threatened by Pei Yansi. If she were to co to her, it would only add more burden to her.
With Lu Yunlan being so considerate of her, how could she allow Pei Yansi to bully them?
“Shen Heyu!”
While she was lost in her thoughts, she heard Pei Yansi’s icy voice.
As she looked up, she saw Pei Yansi standing not far away, his eyes coldly fixed on the two, especially his venomous gaze on Lu Yi’s hand.
The hand that was stroking her head.
He strode forward and yanked Shen Heyu to his side. He stared at Lu Yi and said coldly, “It seems the Lu Family’s company is still not busy enough for you to have ti to seek people out here.”
Lu Yi frowned and remained silent.
Shen Heyu, of course, knew what he ant; she feared that her presence would prompt him to target Lu Yi again. The present Lu Family couldn’t handle any more turmoil.
She quickly grabbed Pei Yansi, pretending to be obedient. “I just bumped into him and we exchanged a few words. Let’s leave.”
Of course, Pei Yansi didn’t believe her evasion.
He looked down at her, seeing her act so obediently, and even though he knew it was just an act, he liked it.
He didn’t bother Shen Heyu too much, as his target was only Lu Yi. Thus, without lingering further, he pulled Shen Heyu away.
Back at their seats, Pei Yansi imdiately let go of her hand and sat brooding in his own seat.
Shen Heyu knew this man was about to explode again. She didn’t initiate any conversation with him, still angry herself, and just sat in her seat.
Not talking, not interacting, not explaining, and certainly not getting closer.
Pei Yansi waited a long ti without hearing her say a word and finally couldn’t help but say, “Don’t you have anything you want to say to ?”
“I’ve got nothing I want to say to you.” She would rather not see him at all; what good was there to say?
Pei Yansi sneered and said deliberately, “There’s no talking between us, but you can chat in the bathroom with Lu Yi for so long?”
“You’re being unreasonable.”
“It’s because you’re not listening.”
Shen Heyu stopped talking completely. She realized that for soone like Pei Yansi, silence was the best way to deal with him.
Due to her silence, the fire in Pei Yansi’s chest beca even more apparent, with no intention of subsiding.
He stared at her profile.
He rembered that not long after she left, Lu Yi followed her. He knew they would et and talk, although he didn’t know what about, but he patiently waited.
Who would have known she would be gone that long without any word?
What could they talk about for so long?
As soon as he went over, he saw how close they were.
The more Pei Yansi thought about it, the angrier he beca, unable to endure it any longer, he reached out and grabbed Shen Heyu’s chin, forcefully turned her face toward him, and said, “If you don’t explain yourself clearly, do you believe I would kiss you in public?”
“Can’t you be reasonable…”
“Explain clearly.” He cut her off directly, he didn’t need her to reason with him.
To him, he himself was the reason.
He was accustod to being dominant and possessive, and not used to being contradicted.
The force from her chin made Shen Heyu feel Pei Yansi’s anger.
She looked into his dark, angry eyes, after thinking for a while, and recalling her struggles at the hotel over these three days, she still didn’t dare to provoke him.
She said, “We didn’t say anything, just discussed how to deal with you.”
“Deal with ?” That’s hardly saying nothing, Pei Yansi’s gaze grew colder. “Go on then, tell , how do you plan to deal with ?”
“I will say it again, if you don’t back off from Lu Yi, I will definitely join forces with him against you.”
“Shen Heyu, you really have so nerve.”
Pei Yansi let her go.
He shifted a bit to the side, no longer paying attention to her, seemingly trying to distance himself, but in reality, he was thinking of how to make her obey.
Shen Heyu could tell from his gloomy expression that he was very angry.
But at this mont, she couldn’t manage anything else.
She also understood that if she tead up with Lu Yi against Pei Yansi, they still wouldn’t be a match for him and might be treated even worse.
Could there be a more gentle solution?
Shen Heyu thought to herself and took the initiative to ask, “What do you want for you to leave and Lu Yi alone?”
Pei Yansi sneered, “Remarry , and kick all those filthy n out of your mind.” Not to bring up other n all the ti in front of him, whether it be Lu Yi or Shen Jiangli.
Shen Heyu said, “Besides remarrying.”
Pei Yansi replied, “That’s not possible.”
In any case, he wanted her to remarry.
Shen Heyu thought of the fireworks show overseas, how he had done so much for her and went out of his way trying to remarry her. Was it really because he liked her?
She said, “If you like , you shouldn’t use such thods. They only push further away.”
