Chapter 41 You didn't manage to make your wife run away again, did you?
You've already paid for it, and you're still not done playing? Take it if you like. Every word and phrase here seems like a sword or spear.
Shen Li had already walked out the door, but then she remembered what Lu Yanchuan had said before, that he wanted to be with her and would take responsibility.
Shen Li felt she shouldn't leave, so she turned back to ask Lu Yanchuan. But then she heard Song Xiaowan ask him, "Didn't you just want to provoke her into a divorce? Why are you unwilling now?"
When Song Xiaowan asked this question, Shen Li could clearly see the provocation in her eyes.
Then I heard what Lu Yanchuan had just said.
Song Xiaowan probably felt that Lu Yanchuan's words would hurt her, and Shen Li herself also felt that such words would hurt her.
But it seems that people really can become numb.
After hearing too many sarcastic and hurtful words, one seems to become impervious to them.
Upon hearing Lu Yanchuan's words, Shen Li felt no pain, only a slight chill.
How heartless must a person be to say they want to be with her when they are facing her?
When he turned his back to her, he said he hadn't had enough fun yet?
Shen Li felt there was nothing more to ask, so she turned and left through the door.
Lu Yanchuan saw Xin Yang when he went out.
"Brother Chuan, what's wrong?"
Have you seen Shen Li?
"Huh? Didn't your sister-in-law go to find you?"
"What?"
Xin Yang scratched his head. "When I came out just now, I saw my sister-in-law turn around and go back inside. I thought she was going to find you, wasn't she?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanchuan's brows furrowed instantly, and he took out his phone to dial Shen Li's number.
But the moment the call was dialed, an electronic female voice announced, "The user you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later..."
Lu Yanchuan stared at his phone screen. This annoying woman, had she blocked him again?
Xin Yang is not smart when he should be, and he is very clever when he shouldn't be.
Seeing Lu Yanchuan's reaction, Xin Yang asked, "Brother Chuan, you didn't manage to appease your wife and she ran away, did you?"
Lu Yanchuan glanced at him coldly.
Xin Yang raised his hands in surrender and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go ask the security guards if your sister-in-law has disembarked."
Shen Li sat in front of the bus stop closest to the pier, holding her high heels in one hand and talking on her phone in the other.
A pair of long, slender legs stretched straight forward, ten rounded toes opening and closing, and the fair instep repeatedly curling and straightening, relaxing the ankles and insteps.
"I can call a car myself, you don't need to worry," Shen Li said softly to Qu Xiang on the other end of the phone. Her voice sounded nonchalant, but it still carried a hint of sadness.
"How could I not worry!" Qu Xiang exclaimed, jumping up and down. "You never bring anything good when you're in Haicheng! You scared me to death last time you were there!"
Qu Xiang still remembers Shen Li's acute pancreatitis in Haicheng five years ago. If she hadn't discovered it early, Shen Li would probably have died!
"It's alright, it's really alright this time." Shen Li paused and said, "When I get back, I'll put that house on Danzhou Road up for sale. I don't want to live there anymore, let's just cash it out."
Although Qu Xiang didn't know what had happened to Shen Li in Haicheng, she was certain that something had happened, and judging from what she heard, it was definitely related to Lu Yanchuan.
"Okay, whatever makes you happy," Qu Xiang said. "You'd better behave yourself in Haicheng. If you cause the same thing as last time, I won't say anything more about me. He Xun is about to finish filming and come back. You should think it over."
Upon hearing the name, Shen Li paused for a moment, then smiled, her eyes crinkling. "So fast?"
When she saw He Xun's photo on Lan Zhili's phone screensaver, she wondered when he would finish filming.
"Hmm, hehe." Qu Xiang said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Li Li, He Xun just went to the mountains to film a movie, he didn't lose his internet. He must know about all those news reports that came out before. Guess why he didn't call to scold you?"
Shen Li's heart skipped a beat. "Do you think it's more satisfying to teach him a lesson in person?"
Qu Xiang: "It's good that you know."
He Xun was Shen Li's close friend for many years, but to be honest, Shen Li felt that He Xun should be considered like an older brother.
When my mother was still alive, she was kind-hearted and generous. She not only sponsored the welfare home, but also sponsored a poor student named He Xun.
He Xun was loyal and devoted, two years older than her, but much more sensible. The money her mother invested in the scholarship program was enough for He Xun to complete his studies.
But after her mother died in a car accident, He found Shen Li, became her friend and brother, and always supported and took care of her.
Thinking that He Xun would come back to teach her a lesson, Shen Li couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Li: "I'll call you back when I get back to the hotel."
Not long after ending the call with Qu Xiang.
A luxury car stopped in front of us.
Shen Li looked up and saw the car window rolled down. Shao Congyu was sitting in the driver's seat. He turned to look at her and said, "Shen Li, get in the car. I'll give you a ride."
"No need, I've already called a car, it'll be there in a bit," Shen Li politely declined.
But the back window rolled down, and Lan Zhili's smiling face appeared in the back seat. "Sister Chen, get in the car quickly! This place is too remote. It's not safe for you to sit here and wait for the car by yourself."
Seeing Lan Zhili's smiling face, Shen Li hesitated for only a moment before lifting her skirt, going over, opening the car door, and getting in.
The car drove away quickly.
All of this was observed by a pair of piercing eyes in the luxury car not far behind.
Lu Yanchuan watched the woman sitting at the bus stop, lifting the hem of her skirt as she got into someone else's car.
Xin Yang chimed in, "Hmm? That looks like Shao Congyu's car, doesn't it?"
Upon hearing this, he noticed that his brother Chuan's expression grew even colder, making him feel icy cold sitting next to him.
Xin Yang didn't dare bring it up again, and instead asked, "Brother Chuan, shall I take you back to your hotel?"
Lu Yanchuan's eyes were filled with a cold light. He knew that if he went back to the hotel and faced Shen Li face to face, he would definitely break down.
"I'm not going back." Lu Yanchuan's voice was cold. "Didn't you say before that a new livehouse opened here and you wanted Lan Chaochi to take you there? Go there."
Xin Yang's eyes lit up, "Yay! Brother Chuan is awesome!"
Because Lan Zhili was there, the atmosphere in Shao Congyu's car wasn't too awkward.
“Sister Chen, that ‘Mountain Eagle’…” As one of the organizers, Lan Zhili naturally knew the final fate of that artwork.
"I know." Shen Li lowered her eyes and put on her high heels.
Lan Zhili wanted to comfort her, but didn't know how to begin. Although she was in this industry, Lan Zhili also felt that many marriages in this industry were based on interests and transactions, which was really... utterly disgusting.
Before she could comfort Shen Li, Shen Li used his phone to send her a photo via airdrop.
Shen Li: "No matter what, thank you for today, Miss Lan. Let me give you a gift in return."
