"ngng, it’s okay, I will handle this matter. You go back to your room to rest first; the family doctor will be here soon to check if you’ve been injured."
Chen Wenzhou slowly stood up and turned the wheelchair, adjusting the direction for Chen Lingng.
"Did I let you leave? You haven’t apologized to Shen Heyu yet. Don’t think that this matter can be so easily forgotten," Pei Yansi’s cold voice stopped them.
Upon hearing Pei Yansi’s words, Chen Lingng involuntarily tightened her grip on the armrest. She wanted to refute Pei Yansi’s words, but the images from monts before made her shiver with cold.
Earlier, it seed as if Pei Yansi truly wanted to take her life, and just for Shen Heyu. Was it worth it? He actually went to such lengths.
"ngng, it’s okay, you go ahead, leave this matter to your brother to handle, I will definitely resolve it properly."
Chen Wenzhou saw Chen Lingng’s retreating figure with so hesitation; he gently patted Chen Lingng’s shoulder, bringing her thoughts back to reality.
After taking a deep breath, Chen Lingng maneuvered her wheelchair and left the area. Chen Wenzhou turned around to face Pei Yansi’s overly sharp gaze.
"Even if ngng really said sothing excessive, you can’t treat her like this, Pei Yansi. Don’t forget, you two are about to be engaged."
Chen Wenzhou coldly watched Pei Yansi, whose piercing gaze also startled him.
"From the beginning, I never agreed to marry Chen Lingng. All of this was your doing without my consent. Therefore, no matter the outco, it is your own doing."
"Besides, if Chen Lingng said the wrong things, did the wrong things, you should properly educate her, instead of coming to bla , getting angry over her excessive words."
Pei Yansi coldly looked at Chen Wenzhou. Regarding the matter with Shen Heyu, he absolutely wouldn’t compromise. Last ti, because he had not been careful enough, Shen Heyu had left him.
However, after leaving Pei Yansi, Shen Heyu did not have a better life; instead, she suffered quite a bit.
Pei Yansi felt even more distressed for Shen Heyu, hoping she could return to his side.
"I hope you can be more understanding of ngng’s emotions. Her instability is all because of you. If you cared more about her, instead of constantly entangling with your ex-girlfriend, her emotions would probably be much more stable."
Chen Wenzhou had no intention of apologizing; instead, he continually excused Chen Lingng’s behavior, turning the bla around.
However, Pei Yansi was well aware of the Chen family’s true nature; he held no hope for them.
"They’re a family that won’t stop until they reach the Yellow River."
"Instead of asking to sympathize with her, you should all reflect on yourselves. A forcefully twisted lon won’t be sweet; even a marriage manipulated into existence won’t last or bring happiness."
"As Chen Lingng’s brother, you should remind her to think carefully, not indulge her and push her towards disaster. Or is it because you’re not her biological brother and have no blood relation with her, so you don’t care at all about her future?"
"Pei Yansi, do you realize what you’re saying?" Chen Wenzhou angrily interrupted Pei Yansi.
Pei Yansi tugged at his lip corner, a sarcastic laugh escaping him. He had rely spoken the truth, but he hadn’t anticipated such a strong reaction from Chen Wenzhou.
"Your reaction is so intense, could it be because my words have struck a nerve?" Pei Yansi raised an eyebrow.
His gaze was too sharp—almost as if he could see through a person’s soul—forcing Chen Wenzhou to tread carefully in his presence.
"I’m willing to help Chen Lingng arrange your marriage, purely because she is utterly infatuated with you. She said she would marry no one but you."
"You’re here accusing , watching her jump into a fire pit, rather than persuading yourself properly. What is wrong with Chen Lingng, after all?"
Chen Wenzhou grew more agitated as he spoke, much like Chen Lingng herself, both of them the type to obsess over details.
"Chen Lingng has been your childhood sweetheart. She is beautiful, cos from a good family, and matches you well in social status. Most importantly, she has only ever had eyes for you. Where else could you find a girl as devoted as her?"
"Pei Yansi, I know that with your status, looks, and capabilities, countless won must be scheming to get into your bed, perhaps they could line up all the way to the Great Wall."
"But don’t forget, it’s precisely because of your status that it’s unclear whether those won are really drawn to you or just to your wealth."
"But Chen Lingng isn’t like those won, she doesn’t covet anything from you. She just genuinely likes you. What’s wrong with her wanting to be with you?"
"There’s nothing wrong with her liking , but the biggest mistake she’s made is going on obsessing over , after clearly knowing that I stated my disinterest in her and my feelings for Shen Heyu, and still trying every ans to separate from Shen Heyu."
Pei Yansi’s words hit Chen Wenzhou like a cold splash of water. Chen Wenzhou stood there, stunned and motionless for a mont before forcing a sardonic smile.
"You and Shen Heyu have already broken up. Since you could miss each other, it shows you weren’t suitable. Getting back together would simply repeat the past. It’s better to accept Chen Lingng, perhaps she’s truly the most suitable, the right one for you."
"I can now tell you clearly that there’s no possibility between and Chen Lingng. You might as well drop it; it’s disgusting to even think of marrying her. It’s absolutely impossible unless the sky falls," Pei Yansi’s stance was clear and firm, and no matter what Chen Wenzhou said, it wouldn’t shake his resolve.
"Do you really have to pursue this hopeless path?"
"Yes, my liking for Shen Heyu won’t change no matter how much ti passes or what happens. I only want to be with him, and I have no interest in any other woman," Pei Yansi made it clear to Chen Wenzhou.
Chen Wenzhou had confird repeatedly from Pei Yansi that Shen Heyu was the only one in his heart, no matter how others tried to interfere, his feelings for Shen Heyu wouldn’t change.
All along, Chen Wenzhou had seen Pei Yansi as a thorn in his side, almost eagerly wishing him gone.
But now, knowing how steadfast Pei Yansi’s love for Shen Heyu was, he actually felt a trace of respect and envy.
Chen Wenzhou lowered his head and suddenly burst into laughter. It began as silent chuckles and then escalated into loud guffaws, eventually shaking his shoulders.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at how deeply you’ve fallen for Shen Heyu, yet you can’t have a happy ending with her."
