The servant intentionally stopped in front of Shen Heyu, crouched down to pick up Pei Yansi’s personal clothing, and then threw it into the dirty laundry basket.
She picked up the laundry basket, nodded to Chen Wenzhou and Shen Heyu, and was just about to leave when Chen Lingng appeared, maneuvering her wheelchair.
"You know how clumsy you are. Normally, I would definitely deduct your bonus for this month, but Brother Yan Si stayed here with last night, and I am in a good mood, so I won’t be petty with you today."
Chen Lingng deliberately made the statent to rub it in Shen Heyu’s face; she slowly wheeled closer to Shen Heyu, her eyes fixed intently on her.
Unfortunately, after parting ways with Pei Yansi, Shen Heyu faced many challenges; she was not as easily readable as before. Now, she kept her thoughts so well-concealed that it was hard for most to discern her inner feelings.
After a glance at Shen Heyu, Chen Lingng deliberately flaunted a smug smile and greeted her with the deanor of a hostess.
"I am surprised, Miss Shen, why did you co today? You didn’t even notify beforehand, making you bump into your ex-boyfriend. Isn’t that quite awkward?"
Chen Lingng taunted Shen Heyu, always having been defeated by her. Finally seizing an opportunity, she wanted to appear as if she was stepping on Shen Heyu’s head.
Shen Heyu obviously sensed the hostility in Chen Lingng’s words, but she rely responded with a lukewarm smile, turning the tables and saying, "I thought I was the one who would find it most awkward to et him here, especially since we have a past together, even though it’s over. But your relationship with him hasn’t even truly begun yet."
Chen Lingng was barely a second into her gloat when she heard Shen Heyu’s retort, turning her face instantly.
Her hand gripped the armrest tightly, her nails nearly digging into the leather.
Chen Wenzhou was sitting nearby on a sofa, witnessing this drama unfold, clearly aware that Chen Lingng had been outwitted. His expression darkened slightly, and he quickly stood up to smooth things over.
"ngng, you look very well today; it seems we need to have Pei Yansi over more often to keep you company." Chen Wenzhou rose and walked step by step towards Chen Lingng.
He stood by Chen Lingng’s side, indicating his support for her.
Chen Wenzhou observed that after so ti apart, Shen Heyu had indeed grown tougher, able to hide any trace of hurt or sadness exceptionally well.
"Brother Yan Si of course would like to be by my side more often, but he’s swamped with work at the company and preparing for our engagent; I don’t want to add to his stress."
Everyone knew what Pei Yansi’s attitude towards Chen Lingng was like, but in front of Shen Heyu, even if Chen Lingng was lying, she could not afford to appear inferior or to lose face.
"Since Pei Yansi intends to marry you and be with you, it shows he has firmly decided to prioritize you, so you can freely tell him whenever you miss him. I believe he would gladly be by your side."
Chen Wenzhou and Chen Lingng played their parts well in their act staged for Shen Heyu.
Shen Heyu couldn’t fathom why they went to such lengths to perform such an act.
Although Shen Heyu heard what they were saying and felt a certain way about it, that feeling wasn’t deep, as she had accompanied Gu Siyu here today for one sole purpose.
That was to clarify whether the woman they saw getting into Chen Wenzhou’s car was Song Miaoyu and whether there was any relation between Song Miaoyu and Chen Wenzhou.
However, their timing was off, and Pei Yansi’s presence there just gave them an opportunity to create an issue. As soon as Shen Heyu appeared, or rather before she even appeared, the stage was already set.
"Brother, you really, Shen Heyu is still here, and you talk like this; if she hears the truth, she will be heartbroken. No matter what, she is the ex-girlfriend of my fiancé, and if I treated her cruelly, Yansi would not be happy."
Chen Lingng pretended to be generous, she lifted her head provocatively and glanced at Shen Heyu, then casually flipped her hair.
Chen Wenzhou, hands in pockets, chuckled, his laugh emitting a cultured yet degenerate charm.
"ngng, you are just too sensible. You always put Pei Yansi first and are considerate towards him in everything. I really worry about what he would do if he doesn’t cherish you in the future."
"Brother, what are you talking about? Yansi and I grew up together and know each other the best, how could soone who just appeared not many years ago compare to that?"
When Chen Lingng spoke, she deliberately gave Shen Heyu a provocative look. Shen Heyu took a deep breath.
"We don’t care about matters relating to Pei Yansi. If you want to talk about your family issues, you can wait until after we leave and find a corner to discuss it properly, as we are here only to clarify one thing."
Gu Siyu noticed the change in Shen Heyu’s expression, and actually, he did not want to listen to the two of them discuss matters related to Pei Yansi, especially when their words were so pointed.
Gu Siyu interrupted them. Chen Lingng’s smile froze; she lifted her head to look at Gu Siyu.
"Who are you? How can you speak so rudely? Don’t you know that you are guests in my house today? Who behaves like this as a guest?"
Chen Lingng looked at Gu Siyu discontentedly, but Gu Siyu did not take her seriously, considering her rely a spoiled rich girl focused on herself.
Gu Siyu looked at Chen Wenzhou, unable to miss any subtle expression or movent on Chen’s face.
"Do you actually know where my senior sister is? What is your relationship with my senior sister, and when did you start knowing her?"
Being questioned like this by Gu Siyu, Chen Wenzhou lowered his head and adjusted the glasses on his nose, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
"Doctor Gu, my sister isn’t wrong, don’t you think it’s impolite to co to soone’s house and barrage them with questions?"
"It seems you do recognize her, what I want to know is when did your acquaintance start? Was it, perhaps, the ti you brought soone with a fan to storm my suburban villa?"
Even if Chen Wenzhou evaded the question, what did it matter? Gu Siyu was skilled at observing a person’s microexpressions and eye movents, and in his eyes, he had already seen one of the answers he sought.
That was that Chen Wenzhou and Song Miaoyu had t, they knew each other, but the exact ti from when their acquaintance started was still untraceable.
