Lu Anning didn't want to embarrass Pei Chengyi. Since they had different life trajectories, they probably wouldn't have much intersection in the future.

She didn't take this little episode to heart, but unexpectedly, when the party was over, she saw Pei Chengyi and Shan Ying arguing at the entrance of Yunding again, and a hint of surprise flashed in Lu Anning's eyes.

Aren’t they divorced?

Could it be that Shan Ying saw what happened in the box just now?

It seemed more like Shan Ying was unilaterally teaching Pei Chengyi a lesson. Pei Chengyi had a gloomy face and only occasionally made a few words of defense, but in return Shan Ying's insults became even more severe.

Lu Anning subconsciously moved closer and was able to hear their conversation clearly.

"If you can't even handle a few women, Pei Chengyi, what use are you! No wonder you're only fit to be pinned to the ground by Tang Jingyuan. Look at you now, it makes me sick. Why did I ever fall for you in the first place?"

Shan Ying's words were sharp, her eyes filled with disgust for Pei Chengyi. Pei Chengyi pounded his hands at his sides, veins faintly visible on the backs of his hands. Even though he was humiliated by Shan Ying, he remained obedient.

"I'm your assistant, not your public relations officer." After enduring for a long time, Pei Chengyi was filled with humiliation, and with a flushed face, he looked up and questioned Shan Ying.

Shan Ying smiled indifferently: "Does it make any difference? Now, besides me, who else would dare to use you! Pei Chengyi, I just want to humiliate you. If you have the ability, leave. Otherwise, I will ask you to sleep with me, and you have to go."

The car arrived. Shan Ying glanced at Pei Chengyi sarcastically, pushed him away, and got into the car.

Pei Chengyi hesitated for a moment and was about to follow, but was stopped by Shan Ying.

"You stink, don't dirty my car. I'm not going to your place tonight, so you have to find a way to get back! Think about how to make me happy, and maybe your life will be better."

As she spoke, she dialed the phone. Not far away, Shan Ying smiled arrogantly: "Baby! Wait for me at the hotel, sister will be here soon."

Pei Chengyi watched the car drive away with a cold face. A feeling of powerlessness came over him and he clenched his fists, his bones creaking.

Lu Anning retracted his gaze in time, suppressing the shock in his heart. He guessed that Shan Ying would not let Pei Chengyi go easily, but he did not expect that she would use this method.

The moment Lu An Ning turned around, Pei Chengyi saw her.

Lu Anning didn't want to add insult to injury, and was about to leave to find Tang Jingyuan, but Pei Chengyi blocked his way first.

Under the night light, his face was ashen and he was shaky, but his eyes were filled with determination.

"It's really you!"

In the box, Pei Chengyi thought he had seen it wrong.

He sneered: "Seeing me like this, you must be very proud in your heart! Tang Jingyuan is very calculating, but I will not give in just like that."

Lu Anning took a deep breath and looked him straight in the eye. "That's the grudge between you and Tang Jingyuan, don't tell me. Our meeting today was purely accidental, and I'm not interested in spreading the news. Mr. Pei, please make way!"

Lu Anning's nonchalant attitude actually irritated Pei Chengyi. It was because it was truly unimportant that he didn't care. He had once thought that Lu Anning chose Tang Jingyuan mostly to piss him off.

After all, he and Lu An Ning were supposed to be engaged in the first place. If Lu Yunxi hadn't intervened, things might not have turned out like this.

Pei Chengyi was unwilling to give up: "Lu Anning, if it was you who announced our engagement, would you still treat me like this? Would our ending be different then?"

A glimmer of light appeared in his dim eyes, eager to hear something.

Lu An Ning looked at him and shook her head quietly: "You still don't understand? There is no if! No matter who I was engaged to at the family reunion banquet, I would have refused."

She never thought of handing her future over to others, not even to her parents who raised her.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe you've never thought about being with me?"

Lu Anning told him calmly: "Never."

Even if she had chosen Tang Jingyuan, it was because of the situation and she had no choice. However, now she did not regret her decision.

Not far away, car lights shone towards this side. Pei Chengyi reacted immediately and saw the familiar car silhouette. He turned and left in a panic, leaving only a disheveled back.

Lu Anning shook her head and came back to her senses. The car had already stopped in front of her and Tang Jingyuan carefully opened the door for her.

On the way, Tang Jingyuan casually asked, "Did you meet someone you know just now?"

Lu Anning reacted and his eyes lit up: "He's also your acquaintance. You would never guess!"

"Pei Chengyi!"

Lu Anning looked at him in surprise: "You saw it?"

Tang Jingyuan curled his lips: "How could I not know someone from the Pei family?"

When Lu Anning talked about his recent situation, he thought he could see a hint of surprise on Tang Jingyuan's face, but he still looked indifferent, as if he had known all this for a long time.

"Aren't you surprised?"

"Shan Ying originally lent money to help Pei Chengyi recover his losses, but ended up losing everything. Now that they're divorcing, the money has to be repaid. Shan Ying's marriage is ruined, her reputation is ruined, so how could she easily let the downtrodden Pei Chengyi go?"

The unruly and headstrong eldest daughter was deceived and even lost her child. Naturally, she wanted to get it back from Pei Chengyi.

Pei Chengyi is proud in his bones. If you want to torture him, the most effective way is to trample on his dignity. Shan Ying will not allow Pei Chengyi to escape from her palm.

Lu Anning couldn't immediately tell what Shan Ying felt for Pei Chengyi. The complex mix of love and hate was the most deadly. Perhaps even Shan Ying herself couldn't see clearly.

Lu An Ning had no intention of caring about their affairs. Everything in Jiangcheng had been arranged almost completely. What she should consider now was what to do after arriving in Kyoto.

Gaining a firm foothold is the first step!
