Inside the white Rolls-Royce, the man broke the silence by speaking.
"You didn't believe me when I told you, so what were the results of your investigation?"
A hint of unease flashed across Xie Huanyu's face. When Zhou Zehao first told her, she did indeed think it was impossible.
She happened to know a few people from Chengdu, so she asked them to help her find out, but unexpectedly, Ouyang Sheng's daughter was indeed named Qin Shengyi.
Thinking back on everything that had happened, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
“She comes from a better family than you, her abilities are no less than yours, and she has a gentle and quiet personality,” Zhou Zehao nodded seriously before commenting, “Xie Huanyu, you should admit defeat, you can’t compete with her!”
Xie Huanyu looked displeased. "Stop making sarcastic remarks. Yan Shu said that he and Qin Shengyi are just ordinary friends."
"He said ordinary friends are ordinary friends. Xie Huanyu, I never expected you to have such a penchant for self-deception!" The man chuckled cryptically before speaking.
Xie Huanyu remained silent, unconsciously pursing her red lips. She didn't know what was wrong with this man today, why he kept provoking her like this.
Yes, she had to admit that Qin Shengyi was better than her in every way, and Xu Yanshu's feelings for her were far more than just those of an ordinary friend.
However, she wasn't without her advantages. After all, they had been husband and wife for five years.
In short, I will never give up on Xu Yanshu easily.
"Moreover, even without Miss Qin, the fact that you got together with me before the official divorce means that Xu Yanshu would never accept you again."
Xie Huanyu instinctively retorted, "Don't talk nonsense, when did I ever get involved with you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Zehao suddenly reached out and grabbed the woman's neck, a deep, sinister look spreading across his eyes.
He muttered through gritted teeth,
"Isn't it too late to pretend you don't know the truth now?"
"Xie Huanyu, I remember I already said I don't like restless women. What do you mean by going to see Xu Yanshu time and time again? Do you think I'm dead?"
Suddenly feeling the air around her growing thinner, Xie Huanyu began to struggle desperately. Noticing the man's violent expression, an unprecedented fear surged within her.
Seeing that it was almost over, Zhou Zehao let go and then lightly patted Xie Huanyu's cheek, "Remember this lesson!"
"I've never been patient, and I don't want to say the same thing a third time!"
He was a germaphobe, so he didn't intend for anything to actually happen between him and Xie Huanyu.
But since she's trying to get closer to him and is still hoping to benefit from him, he has to abide by the rules. Otherwise, he might really become a victim of injustice.
This man is a devil!
A flash of extreme hatred crossed Xie Huanyu's eyes. She gasped for breath, clearly sensing that Zhou Zehao had genuinely wanted to kill her.
However, her father had already decided to use her as a bargaining chip with Zhou Zehao, so she had no choice but to accept it.
Thinking about it, Xie Huanyu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Her long, slender eyes inadvertently became moist, and her whole demeanor was visibly somber.
Even if Zhou Zehao really ruined him, as long as he was given enough benefits, his father probably wouldn't pursue the matter.
Seeing this, Zhou Zehao frowned in disgust. "Xie Huanyu, you'd better get rid of that pitiful look right now. I'm not one to show mercy to women!"
Xie Huanyu suddenly came to her senses. Not wanting Zhou Zehao to see her like this, she wiped her eyes and sat up straight.
This feigned strength only irritated Zhou Zehao more, so he immediately stopped the driver and, without a word, forced the man out of the car.
——
A few days later, Xu Yanshu went to Jiang Zhengyu's law firm again. Looking at the other man's indifferent profile, his heart skipped a beat.
"I'm sorry, I handled things inappropriately before, and it will definitely not happen again!"
"So what kind of trouble are you planning to cause next time?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhengyu couldn't contain his resentment any longer and said indignantly, "Xu Yanshu, how come I never saw how cowardly you were before?"
“A real man shouldn’t be so timid and hesitant. Why didn’t you consider all that when you were with Xie Huanyu back then?”
Xu Yanshu frowned in distress, hesitating to speak for a moment. The emotions in his eyes became complicated in an instant.
Having suffered greatly from it himself, he knew all too well how much harm rumors could cause. Even he, a grown man, found it unbearable, and he couldn't imagine how terrible it would be if such things happened to Sheng Yi.
Jiang Zhengyu waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, alright, I admit I talked too much. I'll never interfere in your affairs again."
Those involved are often blinded by their own perspective; if someone's mind isn't clear, no amount of persuasion will help.
When Shengyi was arranged to go on a blind date with another man, he wanted to see if this man could still sit still. Thinking of this, a mischievous glint flashed in Jiang Zhengyu's eyes.
"So what brings you here today?"
Xu Yanshu was about to explain something when he heard this, so he subconsciously swallowed back what he was about to say and instead brought up the important matter.
The fact that someone has tampered with your car without your knowledge is definitely not a trivial matter.
“Xie Junyang and Zhou Zehao have been in cahoots for a long time, so you don’t need to investigate who did it!” This was a serious matter, and Jiang Zhengyu instinctively sat up straight, his expression turning serious. “And I think it’s time for you to take the initiative and do something.”
"Otherwise, if things continue like this, your situation will become increasingly passive!"
Xu Yanshu nodded thoughtfully. What he said was indeed true. He had been thinking about this for the past two days, otherwise he might have really been taken advantage of.
“I will find an opportunity as soon as possible,” Xu Yanshu said in a deep voice, then seemed to remember something, “Don’t tell Shengyi about this, I don’t want her to worry about it.”
So dramatic!
Jiang Zhengyu cursed inwardly. Clearly caring, yet still pushing people away, he thought this was utterly brain-dead behavior.
Therefore, he looked at Xu Yanshu with a hint of disdain, "I've already said, I won't interfere in your affairs anymore."
"Go away, if you don't have anything else to do, you can get lost. I'm busy here!"
