296: Failure to fulfill the promise to Xu Qinghua
Chen Yan threw the absurd idea out of his mind.
He felt that he was confused because of working overtime, otherwise why would he think a stranger looked like Xu Qinghua?
Xu Qinghua has been dead for four years!
No one knew that Xu Qinghua had actually talked to Chen Yan before the accident.
At that time, Chen Yan and Xu Yao had just gotten engaged and their feelings were at their strongest. As the future father-in-law, Xu Qinghua made Chen Yan swear to be good to Xu Yao for the rest of his life.
Xu Qinghua said that this was a conversation between men, men have responsibilities on their shoulders, and men’s promises are worth a thousand gold.
Chen Yan was very determined at that time that he would spend his whole life with Xu Yao. When Xu Qinghua asked him to swear, he did not hesitate at all.
What was Xu Qinghua’s reaction after he swore?
Xu Qinghua patted Chen Yan's shoulder heavily.
"Yaoyao is my sweetheart. If you let her down, I will never let you go even if I become a ghost!"
Chen Yan didn't feel anything special when he heard it at the time. What was the point of turning into a ghost or not? Xu Qinghua was still in his prime. Now that he thought about it, Xu Qinghua had actually had the idea of going to die a long time ago!
The night wind blew on Shen Yan's face, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Not only did he let Xu Yao down, he also betrayed Xu Qinghua's trust. He did something very unmanly.
Chen Yan was overwhelmed with emotions and stood there for a long time. He took out his cell phone and called Wen Yiyi.
I called once but no one answered.
The second time, the third time... Wen Yiyi, who had already fallen asleep, was woken up by the vibration of the phone.
"Don't you see what time it is? If you don't go to bed, I will go to bed too!"
Wen Yiyi was woken up in the middle of the night and was in a very bad mood.
Wen Yiyi hasn't mentioned breaking off the engagement lately. Anyway, her internet celebrity career has encountered setbacks, so she'll talk about breaking off the engagement later.
Teacher Li insisted that Xu Qinghua was the one who made the anonymous donation, but Wen Yiyi claimed it was her. The dead cannot speak, and Xu Qinghua himself cannot come forward to confront Wen Yiyi, so Wen Yiyi stubbornly refused to admit she lied.
Gu Jun had originally promised to give more traffic to Wen Yiyi, but the favor was not clearly explained, so Gu Jun's promise of "repaying the favor" was not fulfilled.
Wen Yiyi's account initially attracted a number of followers by showing off her wealth, but she didn't come up with any new attractions, so the speed at which she gained followers slowed down a lot.
Wen Yiyi's anger was somewhat deflated.
Chen Yan was working overtime at the company, and Wen Yiyi left work early. When Chen Yan called, Wen Yiyi had already gone to bed.
"Wen Yiyi, let's talk."
Chen Yan ignored Wen Yiyi's bad temper and went straight to the point: "Let's cancel the engagement."
Wen Yiyi woke up in an instant.
"break off an engagement?"
She sneered, "What are you crazy about? You didn't say anything when I said to cancel the engagement. Now you want to cancel the engagement? I don't agree!"
"I will go and talk to my uncle about this."
Wen Yiyi didn't make the decision on her own when they were engaged. If she wanted to cancel the engagement, she should find someone who could make the decision. Chen Yan would talk to Wen Zhicheng directly.
Wen Yiyi continued to sneer: "The engagement is a decision made by both families. Do you only dare to talk to my dad? If you have the guts, ask your parents to come over!"
"Don't worry, I will convince them to agree."
Shen Yan was confident that he could convince his parents to agree to cancel the engagement.
The engagement is for in-depth cooperation. Now that the two families have no in-depth cooperation, this engagement is naturally useless.
Moreover, Guo Xianzhen is most disgusted with her daughter-in-law showing up in public and becoming an internet celebrity. As long as Shen Yan reveals that Wen Yiyi is running a self-media account, Guo Xianzhen will be the first to jump out to oppose the engagement between Wen Yiyi and Shen Yan.
Chen Yan said sincerely, "I've never liked you, and you've never liked me. It's no use for us to remain stuck like this. The sooner we break off the engagement, the sooner you'll be free, so you can find someone you truly love."
Wen Yiyi was silent on the other end of the phone.
She really never liked Chen Yan.
She just wanted to steal Xu Yao's things.
It was a fact that Wen Yiyi didn't like Chen Yan, and Chen Yan also said that he had never liked her. Wen Yiyi took a deep breath and cursed: "You are such a bastard! I hope you will never find someone you like in your life, and I curse that no one you like will like you back!"
Wen Yiyi scolded Chen Yan severely, but Chen Yan did not say anything back. When Wen Yiyi was tired of scolding and hung up the phone, Chen Yan felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
He is not qualified to ask about Xu Yao's affairs now. He will be qualified only after he has sorted out his embarrassing identity.
Chen Yan glanced at the office building where Xu Yao's studio was located, then turned and got into the car parked on the side of the road.
Assistant Li Kai trotted to help Shen Yan open the door.
Li Kai, Shen Yan's assistant, had been with him for years and witnessed the evolution of his relationship with Xu Yao. After Xu Yao's flash marriage to Gu Jun, Li Kai didn't dare mention Xu Yao's name in front of Shen Yan. Deep down, Li Kai felt that Xu Yao had betrayed Shen Yan.
However, Xiao Shen couldn't stop thinking about such a heartless and ungrateful woman, and Li Kai didn't know what to say.
Just now, when Chen Yan called to cancel the engagement, Li Kai was standing by the car.
Even earlier, Li Kai witnessed Xu Yao's men grabbing Mr. An.
I didn’t expect that Chen Yan would come downstairs and encounter such a farce... Li Kai had a vague feeling of unease at the time.
Sure enough, Mr. Shen proposed to cancel the engagement with Miss Wen!
Li Kai wasn't particularly satisfied with Wen Yiyi, feeling that she wasn't worthy of Chen Yan. But at least Wen Yiyi's family wasn't a burden, and she wasn't involved with other men. So, in any case, she was better than Xu Yao, who had been married once, wasn't she?
After the car started, Li Kai's worries came true, and Shen Yan asked him to investigate the trouble Xu Yao encountered.
Li Kai was embarrassed: "Where should I start investigating?"
It doesn't matter if you check Xu Yao, this matter seems to involve Gu Jun. Li Kai feels that he is causing trouble for Shen Yan by checking Hua Hu's boss.
Chen Yan seemed oblivious: "Start investigating from that painter Jason!"
The assistant understands the boss, and the boss also understands the assistant. Shen Yan can feel Li Kai's resistance.
"Don't worry about it. I won't cause any trouble for the Shen family. I don't have that kind of feelings towards Xu Yao. I just... want to fulfill my promise to the deceased."
He just wanted to help Xu Yao.
The original intention of this kind of help was no longer to reconcile with Xu Yao, but to fulfill his promise to Xu Qinghua.
Perhaps only in this way would he not harbor the evil spirit to mistake a stranger's back for Xu Qinghua.
…
Xu Yao asked Qiangzi to take Mr. An upstairs.
Xu Yao was too lazy to argue with Mr. An, so she sent him to the office to keep Fu Hong company.
These two people have a love stronger than gold, so they should stay together. Don’t separate and harm Xu Yao!
Gu Jun said his flight would arrive in the early morning. Xu Yao looked at her watch and said, "You two should wait for a while. We'll talk about everything after Gu Jun arrives."
After saying this, Xu Yao ignored the two of them. She had a lounge in the studio, so she went to the lounge to take a nap first so that she could have enough energy to resolve this family dispute in Gu Jun's family!
After Xu Yao left, the two female bodyguards also left the office, leaving only Fu Hong and Mr. An in the office.
Mr. An didn't know whether there were surveillance cameras in the office. Even if it was just him and Fu Hong, he wouldn't dare to act rashly. If looks could kill, Fu Hong would have been killed by him!
——How dare Fu Hong come here? !
