Chapter 499: Chapter 499: It’s Ti to End
“Shen Heyu.” This slap not only stunned Lu Yi but also woke him up. It took a mont for him to rember what he had done, and he felt ashad, barely managing to utter Shen Heyu’s na softly.
“It seems you still know what you’ve done, Lu Yi. I never imagined that you would not only avoid responsibility but also try to push everything onto . I truly misjudged you. You used to be so kind and gentle. When did you beco what you are now?”
If Shen Heyu had known that Lu Yi would turn out like this, she would have rather never t her, never encountered her brief mont of salvation when she needed it most.
“Heyu, listen to my explanation for this matter. It was a desperate asure. Under those circumstances, if I had been arrested, then you wouldn’t have been able to ask others to save .”
“But listen to , if you had taken my place, I would have used every connection I have to get you out. Don’t worry, I would have never really let you go to jail.”
Faced with Shen Heyu’s questioning, he did not show any repentance or reflection; instead, he adamantly insisted that he did nothing wrong, chilling Shen Heyu’s heart completely.
“Weren’t you the one who promised that you would handle this properly? Is letting be your scapegoat your idea of handling things?”
Shen Heyu looked at Lu Yi with extre disappointnt. Though the face and voice were the sa as the Lu Yi she rembered, the Lu Yi standing before her was a completely different person from the one in her mories.
“Heyu, don’t be mad. Please, hear out. Okay?” Lu Yi reached out to grab Shen Heyu’s arm, but she coldly dodged his touch.
Shen Heyu regarded Lu Yi as if he were a stranger. Her heart felt as if it had been sliced into pieces, and the image of Lu Yi she held could no longer be pieced back together.
“There’s nothing more to discuss about this matter. Even if you lie and avoid responsibility for the mont, you can’t escape it for a lifeti.”
“Next Monday at nine in the morning, let’s et at the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our divorce papers. This marriage was never substantial to begin with. Since it’s all been a farce, it’s ti to end it.”
Shen Heyu had co to see Lu Yi today to confirm that he truly had accused her, that he genuinely wanted her to take the fall for him.
Now that she had her answer, there was nothing left for her to linger for. Shen Heyu turned to leave, but Lu Yi still wanted to entangle with her.
Pei Yansi stepped in front of Shen Heyu, blocking Lu Yi from touching even a finger on her. Shen Heyu quickened her pace, stepped into the car, and drove away.
Pei Yansi and Lu Yi locked eyes, the tension between them almost audible like the sound of sparks crackling.
“Shen Heyu is my wife by law. What right do you have to take her away? Do you know what you’re doing? It’s called infidelity within marriage!” Lu Yi glared at Pei Yansi with fury.
“It seems your mory is too poor. I suggest you go ho and reread our prenuptial agreent carefully. As for the infidelity accusation, after what’s just happened, what right do you have to label her with such an accusation?”
“Just because she is my wife by law,” Lu Yi stubbornly insisted on this point.
“Not for long. After next Monday, your relationship will be completely dissolved. Don’t bother Shen Heyu again.”
After warning Lu Yi, Pei Yansi turned to walk away. That’s when Lu Yi, driven by anger, roared at Pei Yansi.
“Don’t you think for a second that Shen Heyu will divorce easily. I’m telling you, that’s absolutely impossible. Don’t even dream of taking Shen Heyu away from .”
Lu Yi had been by Shen Heyu’s side for so long, finally getting his chance to rise. He was not about to watch his efforts and sacrifices go down the drain.
Hearing his words, Pei Yansi couldn’t help but feel an ominous premonition. He turned to look at Lu Yi, wondering what kind of trump card he had in his hand to make such an arrogant statent.
After giving Lu Yi a cold glance, Pei Yansi stepped away and got into the car, where he saw Shen Heyu.
Pei Yansi took a handkerchief out of his suit pocket and handed it to Shen Heyu.
Shen Heyu took a deep breath, glanced at the handkerchief he had extended towards her, and said softly, “I haven’t cried.”
“I know you haven’t cried. Crying over a man like him is simply not worth it.”
“Are you happy now?” Shen Heyu asked him coldly.
“Why do you think I would be happy?” Pei Yansi turned his head to look at Shen Heyu, who was still hesitant to take the handkerchief he had offered.
“When the Chen Family interfered with our marriage, I managed to escape from your side. Logically, if my life improved after leaving you, then my choice would have been right. But now, my situation is even worse than before.”
“Are you happy to see in such a state?”
Pei Yansi took Shen Heyu’s hand gently, placing the handkerchief in the palm of her hand.
“Seeing you deceived and falling into another misfortune, I wouldn’t feel happy; I would only feel heartache. My love for you is genuine; I truly hope you can be happy.”
“But now, with Lu Yi by your side, you can’t feel happiness or joy, so I will definitely take you away from him.”
“Even if you help get rid of him, that doesn’t an I’ll return to your side.”
“Shen Heyu,” Pei Yansi called her.
“If the reason you’re helping get rid of him is that you want to co back to you, then I can tell you right now, your plan has failed. Don’t bother wasting your ti and effort.”
Shen Heyu returned the handkerchief to Pei Yansi, determined to free herself from the sham marriage with Lu Yi, even if she had to do it on her own.
“From the start, I’ve never thought that way, nor have I ever intended to force you to stay with by using this as a threat.”
“Shen Heyu, only after I truly realized that what I’d done to you in the past wasn’t what you wanted, did I genuinely change. I hope that in the future you will stay by my side willingly.”
Shen Heyu let out a laugh and looked up at Pei Yansi, “Do you know? After Lu Yi said those awful things to at the hospital, he also confessed and apologized to , even making believe for a mont that he had just made a mistake, that he was the sa as before.”
“But what’s the reality?”
The reality was all an illusion.
Pei Yansi took Shen Heyu’s hand firmly. Each word he spoke resonated powerfully in Shen Heyu’s ears.
“I will prove it to you, no matter how long it takes.”
