Chapter 281 Letting Go



Only after seeing that Sister Yu had actually driven away downstairs did Tu Hengchuan return to his bedroom with peace of mind.

He started putting together his outfit for tomorrow, wanting to look his best for Pingping.

Before getting out of the car, Su Ping suddenly became wary and did not immediately open the car door.

She felt like she had developed a conditioned reflex from them these past few days.

However, ever since I returned from the Ferris wheel, Shen Jiayu and Yun Qi have been silent, without making any move.

[Host, don't worry. After Shen Jiayu discovered that Yun Qi had snatched the deal, he started sabotaging the Yun family's business. The two are currently locked in a power struggle and have no time to deal with you.]

The voice of the Calabash Brothers was like a reassuring pill, calming her inner unease.

She opened the car door and got out; it seemed she could finally get a good night's sleep.

She didn't sleep well at all last night on the mountain; she felt like something was pressing on her chest, and then there was that dream...

Thinking of that dream, Su Ping froze as she bent down to change her shoes; she felt the dream was too real.

Calabash Brothers instinctively held their breath, afraid that she would discover something was wrong.

Unexpectedly, the next second Su Ping quickly changed her shoes and then hummed a song as she went upstairs.

"Huluwa, do you think that dream last night was the system's reward for the suffering I've endured lately?"

The Calabash Brothers dared not speak, but heard her continue.

"I wish I could continue having the same dream as last night tonight, but the man has to be even more handsome and has a better physique..."

With anticipation, her steps became lighter as she went upstairs, eager to finish washing up and drift off to sleep.

On the other side, Shen Jiayu rubbed his slightly sore eyes, intending to go back and rest for a while.

He never expected that the Yun family kid would be so tough; it was something he hadn't anticipated. He felt as if he were seeing himself from a few years ago.

But that doesn't mean he'll let him off the hook. This is just a small punishment. If he dares to steal from him again, he'll definitely fight him to the bitter end.

Just as he grabbed his suit jacket and was about to leave, his assistant opened the door with his phone in hand.

"President Shen, something terrible has happened!"

Shen Jiayu had a bad feeling and asked, "What's wrong?"

The assistant didn't know how to talk to Shen Jiayu, and finally, under his increasingly impatient gaze, he could only grit his teeth and hold the phone screen in front of him.

Shen Jiayu's gaze fell on the title on the screen. The photo above showed him and Chen Qi, and the title was...

The assistant had expected Shen Jiayu to be angry, but he never expected him to laugh out loud.

Just as he was wondering what to do, he saw the look in the other man's eyes, and almost dropped his phone.

Shen Jiayu smiled and took his assistant's phone, swiping his finger across the screen and reading every single word.

By the end, he had to admire the imagination of the person who leaked the information. There were pictures and evidence, making it hard for others not to think in that direction.

This was something he hadn't expected. Despite facing immense pressure, the Yun family brat still managed to find someone to leak information and send him trending overnight.

Shen Jiayu looked at the comments below and burst out laughing.

The assistant felt a chill run down his spine. He felt that his boss was becoming increasingly difficult to understand. Even when he was smiling, he was more unsettling than when he wasn't.

Just as he was thinking about whether to find an excuse to go out, he heard a commotion outside.

"Even if you are the president's friend, you cannot barge in..."

The assistant turned to look outside and saw Chen Qi striding aggressively toward the office.

Chen Qi was furious and about to explode. Being trending on social media with Shen Jiayu would be the biggest scandal of his career and life, to the point where he would wake up in fear every night!

Seeing that she couldn't stop him, the receptionist was almost in tears when suddenly the office door was opened.

Seeing Shen Jiayu's ashen face, everyone quickly lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound, for fear that his anger would affect them.

Without stopping him, Chen Qi rushed up to Shen Jiayu, grabbed his collar, and said through gritted teeth.

"Do you know that because of you, I've been treated like a monkey in the hospital all day?!"

"release."

Shen Jiayu did not answer him, but looked down at the hand that was gripping his collar and said in a deep voice.

"If you don't clarify this right now, don't expect me to treat your illness in the future!"

After Chen Qi finished speaking angrily, he released his grip on Chen Qi's collar, but finally, unable to contain his anger, he pushed Chen Qi backward.

Shen Jiayu reacted quickly, staggering a couple of steps before regaining his footing without collapsing against the door behind him in a disheveled state.

The assistant glanced up at the scene before him and noticed that his colleague across from him was also glancing up.

So everyone loves gossip, huh?

The next second, he felt a gaze fall on him.

He turned his head and saw that it was his boss, who was staring at him intently.

"Boss, wh, what's wrong?"

His actions of eating melon seeds weren't that obvious, so I hope he wasn't caught.

"Later, you should use the company's official Weibo account to issue a statement saying that the rumor is true and that I am with him."

Chen Qi looked at Shen Jiayu in disbelief. Did he even know what he was saying?

The assistant thought she had misheard and mustered her courage to ask again, "Huh? Isn't that a bit...?"

Before he could even utter the word "good," he knew he had asked the wrong question.

Shen Jiayu threw his phone at him, suppressing his anger, and said, "You know this isn't good, so why don't you contact the company's public relations department to handle it!"

The assistant realized what was happening, quickly grabbed her phone, and left.

Shen Jiayu glanced at the few people who were still unwilling to leave and sneered.

"You don't want to leave, huh? We'll deduct your entire year-end bonus!"

Upon hearing this, everyone left without waiting for him to continue speaking.

That living devil, working for him is a curse for eight lifetimes!

Chen Qi also snorted coldly, noticing that Shen Jiayu's gaze was fixed on him.

Thinking about his actions in a fit of anger, he coughed awkwardly.

I should have known he had just left with us.

Shen Jiayu felt a terrible headache and didn't bother with it. After putting on his suit jacket, he walked straight toward the elevator.

Although the hype was reduced by someone spending money, some people still refuse to believe it, especially since the two are so good-looking; they really do look good together.

When Chen Qi got home that evening, he heard his phone ring. It was a message from a girl he had just met a few days ago.

The two met through a friend's introduction, hit it off immediately, and added each other on WeChat.

If you didn't like girls, why didn't you tell me from the beginning?

Chen Qi was startled and quickly wrote a 100-word essay to explain, but after sending it, he saw a red exclamation mark on the screen.
