After finishing their conversation, Xu Yanshu headed home. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a familiar figure and unconsciously quickened his pace. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was indeed Qin Shengyi.
Xu Yanshu was somewhat surprised and asked curiously, "Shengyi, what are you doing here?"
"Ah... I was just passing by," Qin Shengyi said, momentarily flustered upon seeing the man suddenly appear in front of her. She waved her hand awkwardly before explaining, "Brother Yan Shu, did you just get back from the company?"
Ever since she realized that Xu Yanshu was the one who protected her back then, she couldn't help but think of many things from that time, and her feelings became more and more complicated, making her increasingly unsure of how to face Xu Yanshu.
She had just finished discussing business with her business partner and was supposed to go straight home, but somehow she ended up here and unexpectedly ran into Xu Yanshu.
"No, I just went to Zhengyu's house and asked why you haven't been around lately. He said you've been busy with work!"
Is that so?
Upon hearing this, Qin Shengyi awkwardly turned his face away, his eyes unexpectedly becoming complex and dark. This meant that Zheng Yu would definitely know that he had been deliberately avoiding Xu Yanshu...
She bit her lip in distress. She had thought she had moved on from that dark experience, but now she realized that she hadn't let go of it, which was why she hadn't been able to tell Xu Yanshu her true identity.
Besides, she doesn't seem to be able to interact with Xu Yanshu with the same normal attitude as before.
Xu Yanshu quickly noticed that something was wrong with the other party, and thinking of Zheng Yu's vague words earlier, he frowned in confusion.
He wanted to ask what had happened, but he was also hesitant to ask rashly, fearing it would put the other person in a difficult position.
"Shengyi, you..."
"I suddenly remembered that I have something to take care of right away, so I'll head back first. We can talk about it later!" With that, Qin Shengyi strode away on his own.
this……
Watching the other party flee in disarray, Xu Yanshu frowned in confusion, a deep worry rising in his eyes. What on earth is wrong with Sheng Yi?
After fastening her seatbelt, Qin Shengyi stepped on the gas and started the car, speeding all the way to the outskirts before stopping. At that moment, her eyes were filled with suppressed pain.
Back then, something happened in her family, and her parents secretly arranged for her to study in Baoning to avoid being affected by rumors.
But from somewhere, a rumor spread that she was an illegitimate child, and all her classmates began to isolate and despise her.
At the time, she was introverted and timid, and didn't dare to stand up and explain anything. This silence caused the rumors to spread, and even the teachers began to look at her differently.
As things escalated, she was subjected to rumors, ganged up on by other students and cornered in the boys' restroom, her packed lunchbox was stolen and thrown into the septic tank...
His face gradually turned pale, and Qin Shengyi unconsciously gripped the steering wheel in front of him, panting heavily, his eyes slightly hot.
To this day, she still doesn't know why those people were so hostile towards her. Was it just because of those unfounded rumors?!
As the number of perpetrators increased, there were also indifferent bystanders who took pleasure in it. At that time, only Xu Yanshu was willing to stand up and protect himself.
Unlike his genius persona in college, Xu Yanshu was a cold and aloof young man with a withdrawn personality, and he was also one of the tallest people at the time, so few people dared to mess with him.
"Remember this lesson well. If I see you bullying her again, things won't end so easily!"
When Xu Yanshu accidentally stumbled upon himself being cornered in the restroom, he took action to teach the people involved a lesson and even made some harsh remarks in public.
At first, those people didn't take it seriously, but then Xu Yanshu beat them up so badly that they were bruised and battered. After that, she was able to have a very peaceful school life.
But all good things must come to an end, and before long, it was time for Xu Yanshu to graduate from school. Just before leaving, he specifically sought him out.
"Often, what they care about isn't the truth, but their habitual bullying of the weak and fear of the strong,"
"I don't know if anyone will stand up to protect you after this, but if you really want to avoid being bullied, you have to be strong yourself first."
The boy's simple words unexpectedly awakened Qin Shengyi, and she began to confront her own timidity and cowardice.
Later, whenever someone tried to gossip, she would fight back without hesitation, and over time no one dared to provoke her anymore.
Lost in memories, Qin Shengyi murmured involuntarily, "So your name is Xu Yanshu."
For a long time, she admired and trusted Xu Yanshu immensely, always liking to follow him silently, as if standing by his side could give her a great sense of security.
By the time she remembered to ask her idol's name, Xu Yanshu had already become a graduate of the previous year. She wanted to investigate but was afraid of bothering or offending him.
No wonder...
Qin Shengyi then belatedly realized why she felt so familiar with Xu Yanshu when they first met on the university campus.
Because of the sense of familiarity, she had the idea of taking the initiative to get closer, but she was always inexplicably distracted by other things.
After a long silence, Qin Shengyi finally managed to regain her composure. Just as she was about to restart the car, a phone call suddenly came in.
Hello, who is this?
"Qin Shengyi, Xu Yanshu is determined to divorce me now. You must be very proud of yourself, right? What, are you planning to take my place right away?"
Qin Shengyi frowned unhappily. She hadn't expected Xie Huanyu to call specifically to make sarcastic remarks about her. Unable to bear it any longer, she retorted irritably.
"Miss Xie, you know better than I why Brother Yan Shu made the decision to divorce you, so why are you making baseless accusations here?"
Having an extramarital affair and still having the nerve to slander others, this is truly a prime example of hypocrisy!
"you……"
Xie Huanyu was speechless. It was a shame that she had acted so pitiful in front of Xu Yanshu before, but now she was starting to provoke her.
This Qin Shengyi is not only quite scheming, but also a complete green tea bitch!
Thinking of the torment and scheming that Yan Shu had suffered at the hands of this father and daughter over the past few years, Qin Shengyi's aura turned cold. He spoke to the person on the other end of the screen,
"Miss Xie, I advise you not to mess with me. My background is not something your Xie family can easily provoke."
