"Brother Yan Shu, I'm downstairs in your apartment complex right now, so do you want to...?"
"I'm busy," the man said curtly before the other person could finish speaking, pausing for a moment before continuing, "Qin Shengyi, let's not see each other again!"
The other party's sudden coldness caught Qin Shengyi off guard. When she came to her senses, she found that the call had been hung up, and a huge sense of loss arose in her heart.
What do you mean by "we should never see each other again"? Did something happen?
Qin Shengyi subconsciously looked up at the building and saw the lights that were on being turned off. She was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile bitterly.
So Yan Shu was actually at home, but he just didn't want to see her, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
She came here today intending to formally confess that she was the coward he had protected back then. She had finally mustered up the courage, but she never expected to be so inexplicably alienated without even seeing him.
Is there anything that can't be discussed face-to-face?! Everything was fine just two days ago...
Qin Shengyi frowned slightly and couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "How inexplicable!"
I'm sorry, Shengyi!
Watching the dejected figure leave downstairs, Xu Yanshu's eyes gradually became complicated, and he felt a mix of emotions.
Having known Sheng Yi's background long ago, he was already aware of the gap between the two of them, and Xie Huanyu's words today were a wake-up call for him.
Lost in thought, Xu Yanshu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Right now, we must act swiftly and decisively to avoid wasting more time and energy on winning.
He had already thrown himself into love once, only to end up in a mess and still can't completely extricate himself from it.
However, Sheng Yi is completely different from Xie Huanyu. If he ruins the young girl's lifelong happiness because of his incompetence, he will never forgive himself in this lifetime.
Jung-woo is right, he is a complete coward, but...
While pondering, Xu Yanshu unconsciously sighed, turned around and went back to the living room. He picked up a lighter and skillfully lit a cigarette, while the ashtray in front of him was already full of cigarette butts.
If Shengyi were just the daughter of an ordinary business family, perhaps I could work hard for two years to narrow the gap between us.
But what kind of existence is the Ouyang family?
He has an unquestionable voice in all fields in China. Someone of Xie Junyang's stature isn't even worthy of carrying his shoes, let alone himself.
After throwing away the cigarette butt he had finished smoking, Xu Yanshu lay down on the sofa and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Before anything happens and before they get too deeply involved, it's best for them to go back to where they are.
It's impossible to let Shengyi fall into a state of being abandoned by everyone because of me...
...
Seeing that Xu Yanshu had already made his point, Qin Shengyi originally planned to let it go, but after thinking it over, she still felt uneasy, so she went to Jiang Zhengyu's law firm early the next morning.
After briefly explaining the whole story, Qin Shengyi cautiously asked, "That's how it is, brother. Do you think something might have happened to Brother Yan Shu?"
Something was definitely amiss. They were perfectly fine when they met just a few days ago, but suddenly her attitude changed completely. She couldn't help but wonder if something she didn't know had happened.
Although she had successfully divorced, she knew full well that Yan Shu's current situation was not optimistic. Besides Xie Junyang's watchful eye, Zhou Zehao was also a potential threat.
“What could a grown man like him possibly have to do?” Jiang Zhengyu replied irritably, his brows furrowed with displeasure. “And since he’s already made himself so clear, you should have some backbone and stop bothering him!”
It's easy to guess what Xu Yanshu is thinking. Yet, Shengyi, a girl, is fearless, while he is so timid and hesitant, and he often speaks so bluntly.
If that's the case, he really doesn't want his sister to continue developing a relationship with that other person. Otherwise, he doesn't know how much suffering she'll have to endure in the future.
Lost in thought, Jiang Zhengyu unconsciously clenched his fists. If Xu Yanshu were here now, he would definitely teach her a lesson.
Completely surprised by the other party's attitude, Qin Shengyi couldn't help but raise her head and glance at the person, her eyes filled with obvious inquiry.
This person had always had a very good opinion of Brother Yan Shu, and it was he who secretly helped him become friends with Brother Yan Shu. How come now... or does he know some inside information?
"Brother, do you know something...?"
Seeing the little girl's conflicted expression, Jiang Zhengyu waved his hand impatiently.
"I misjudged him before. If that bastard can't figure it out himself, then you should never talk to him again!"
What is it that you just can't figure out?
Qin Shengyi frowned in confusion, a sudden feeling of irritation rising within him. Why did everyone like to speak in riddles now?
Judging from the person's evasive attitude, he wouldn't tell me the truth.
"Oh, then I'll be going now!" Qin Shengyi suddenly stood up and resolutely turned to leave.
well……
Jiang Zhengyu shook his head helplessly, and finally couldn't help but sigh, with a hint of worry inevitably appearing deep in his eyes.
At first, he admired Xu Yanshu's clean and efficient style the most, but he never expected her to be so 'cowardly' when it came to relationships. If he had known it would be like this, he would not have introduced the two of them.
After leaving the law firm, Qin Shengyi walked down the street in a daze.
Everything was fine before, how could this happen...?
Nobody likes being ignored, but if I really never look for Brother Yan Shu again, and he keeps avoiding me, will we become completely estranged?
Looking up at the cloudy sky, Qin Shengyi let out a long sigh, his entire dejected state visibly evident.
Or perhaps Yan Shu realized that she had been hiding something from him all along, which is why he decided to completely sever ties with her? This speculation made her even more distressed.
Beep beep beep...
A sharp horn blared, bringing Qin Shengyi back to her senses. She looked up and saw a black car heading straight for her.
Her pupils contracted slightly, and she instinctively tried to dodge, but found that her body wouldn't obey her commands. Fortunately, someone rushed over the next second, grabbed her shoulder, and pulled her to the side of the road.
Seeing the person who suddenly appeared before him, Qin Shengyi was somewhat taken aback and unconsciously uttered, "You..."
"Do you know how dangerous that was? Who gave you the guts to stand in the middle of the road and just stand there like that?"
