Zhou Yanchen came out earlier than Shen Qingli and Pei Xiao.
Although he is the crown prince of Beijing, to Pei Yike, he is just a scumbag who hurt her best friend.
Although Pei Yike is usually careless, she is unusually courageous and firm when it comes to Shen Qingli.
She put away her phone, stood up and walked towards Zhou Yanchen without hesitation, her tone firm and unyielding: "Zhou Yanchen, I need to talk to you."
Zhou Yanchen raised his eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Normally, everyone was in awe of him, and few people dared to talk to him in such a tone.
But when he thought that the girl in front of him was Shen Qingli's best friend, he still followed her out the door silently.
"What do you want to say to me?" Zhou Yanchen asked straight to the point.
Pei Yike took a deep breath, as if gathering strength for what he was about to say.
She looked directly into Zhou Yanchen's eyes and said word by word: "Zhou Yanchen, why don't you deal with your mess and stop hurting our Ah Li, okay?"
"She's exhausted from working and taking care of the kids every day. Didn't you see how skinny she is?"
Zhou Yanchen's gaze paused slightly, and Shen Qingli's thin face appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
"Wasn't it enough that you hurt her five years ago?" Pei Yike's voice gradually rose, and her emotions became more and more excited. "Now you come to her again, what do you mean?"
"Didn't you treasure Su Xinyao so much before? You couldn't get what you wanted from her, so you turned around and came to find Ah Li?"
These words were like sharp blades, piercing deep into Zhou Yanchen's heart.
He subconsciously wanted to refute, and his lips moved, but nothing came out.
"What do you think of Ah Li? Is she an object? You can take her if you want her, or throw her away if you want to?"
Pei Yike's eyes were slightly red. "Zhou Yanchen, I'm telling you, it's impossible. If you hurt her again, I won't let you go."
After saying these words, Pei Yike turned around and left quickly without waiting for Zhou Yanchen to answer.
There was a hint of stubbornness and a bit of trepidation in her back.
Back in the police station, she patted her chest gently, thinking to herself: I was so brave just now to say such words to Zhou Yanchen.
If he really gets angry, I might be fired from Fengxing Rolling Shop tomorrow.
However, when she thought of Shen Qingli, she felt that for the sake of her best friend, these were nothing.
Zhou Yanchen stood alone at the door, his eyes fixed somewhere empty, without coming back to his senses.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.
The smoke spread in the air, just like his confused and lost mood at the moment.
He knew that Shen Qingli was resisting him now. Every time he approached her, she would distance herself from him and reject him, which made him extremely painful.
But how could he bear to let go?
Thinking back to what happened five years ago, he was filled with regret.
At that time, he didn't see his own heart clearly at all.
He wanted to repay the life-saving grace, and then come back to live a good life with Shen Qingli.
But as soon as he came back, he received the divorce agreement she sent him, and he was angry at the time.
He thought Shen Qingli was just joking, but he didn't expect that she would divorce him without any hesitation.
When he got the divorce certificate in his hand, he woke up from his dream.
When he wanted to find her to reconcile, she disappeared without a trace.
Once he disappeared, it was five years.
Now, he finally found Shen Qingli again, how could he give up so easily?
He walked to the trash can by the roadside and put out the cigarette.
Su Xinyao, since you refuse to repent, then go in and be reformed!
He took out his cell phone and called Chang You.
After giving a few simple instructions, he hung up the phone and returned to the police station.
…
The night was as dark as ink, slowly enveloping this bustling city, but an undercurrent of unease was quietly surging in the Shen family villa.
Shen Weiwei finished a day's work, her high heels tapping against her face as she hurried back home exhausted and anxious.
She didn't even have time to pause before running straight to Ren Wan's bedroom. She didn't even knock on the door and pushed it open directly.
At this moment, Ren Wan was lying leisurely on the imperial concubine couch, with a layer of delicate facial mask on her face, closing her eyes and resting her mind.
Startled by the sudden movement, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Shen Weiwei's panicked expression through the gaps in the mask, and she couldn't help but feel confused.
"What happened? Why are you so flustered?"
Shen Weiwei casually threw her bag onto the sofa beside her, took a few steps in front of Ren Wan, and said quickly: "Mom, did you read today's Weibo?"
Her breathing was a little rapid, and her words were filled with uncontrollable excitement, "That jerk Shen Qingli is back."
When Shen Qingli's name was mentioned, a trace of resentment flashed in Shen Weiwei's eyes, "Besides, she was actually married to Zhou Yanchen!"
"What?" Ren Wan sat up straight in an instant and subconsciously tore off the mask on her face with her hands, revealing a well-maintained face that was slightly distorted due to shock.
"She was married to Zhou Yanchen? Is that the Zhou Yanchen we know?"
Ren Wan's mind suddenly emerged with the image of Zhou Yanchen, who was turning the tide in the business world, and she could not connect him with Shen Qingli at all.
Shen Weiwei was so angry that her face turned red, and she stamped her feet repeatedly: "It's him! When dad's company encountered difficulties, she didn't even mention a word about her marriage to Zhou Yanchen to the family."
"She really hid it well!" Her tone was full of reluctance and anger, as if Shen Qingli's concealment of this marriage was a betrayal to her.
"But she has divorced Zhou Yanchen now." Shen Weiwei added, but there was no trace of relief in her tone, but rather a bit of worry.
After hearing this, Ren Wan's eyes flashed with an imperceptible viciousness. She tightly grasped the mask in her hand and said with a clenched tongue, "We have been looking for her for so many years, but there is no news at all."
"Now she has returned quietly."
Ren Wan thought to herself that Shen Qingli's return this time might bring a lot of trouble to their lives as mother and daughter.
Shen Weiwei has always regarded Shen Qingli as a thorn in her side. Now that she knows that Shen Qingli has been married to Zhou Yanchen, the fire of jealousy in her heart is burning even more.
She secretly complained in her heart, why such an excellent man was missed by her.
In Shen Weiwei's mind, a man like Zhou Yanchen should have been her dream target, but Shen Qingli had such a close relationship with him so early on, how could she swallow this?
Shen Weiwei suppressed her emotions and tried to calm herself down: "Mom, you must talk to Dad. It's said on the Internet that Zhou Yanchen is very close to her now, and they may remarry."
There was a hint of fear in her eyes. "If they really remarry, it will be difficult for us in the future."
Ren Wan narrowed her eyes slightly, quickly thinking of a countermeasure in her mind.
She patted Shen Weiwei's hand gently and comforted her, "Weiwei, don't worry.
When your father comes back, tell him. He will not let her go easily."
