Chapter 45
Decheng Villa, West Building Teahouse.
Shu Xinyu took a while to tell Shen Yizhi the whole story. She took a sip of tea and said nothing more, giving Shen Yizhi time to digest it.
Shen Yizhi's brows furrowed slightly, and a complex expression appeared on her face, which had never shown any trace of worry. After a moment, she spoke.
"So you and Shang Kuoheng are mutually beneficial. You help him take care of the household, and he helps you pay off your debts?"
The phone suddenly vibrated twice. Shen Yizhi opened it and glanced at it.
It was news among the four people.
Shang Kuoheng: [I can explain my marriage. Can we have dinner together tonight?]
Erhuo: [Look at you, you're really something. You're only talking about such a big thing as marriage now.]
Erhuo: [It’s time to treat everyone to a good meal.]
Erhuo: [Pei Yanhe, don't be silent, don't you think so!]
Freedom: [Yeah]
You don't have to guess to know that these three people had discussed the lines of speech, and they let the black cop and the white cop finish singing.
Shen Yizhi was very angry now, so he simply turned on silent mode and turned off his phone.
"Is this the message they sent you?" Shu Xinyu asked.
Shen Yizhi put the phone upside down on the table, "Yes, I don't want to bother with them now."
Shu Xinyu pursed her lips. "Zhizhi, you don't have to worry about me getting hurt. Shang Kuoheng and I have discussed this. Apart from dealing with his family, he won't interfere with our normal lives."
The only thing he would interfere with was her family's debts.
Shen Yizhi's train of thought was very strange. "Even when you have a boyfriend outside, he doesn't interfere?"
"Ah." Shu Xinyu didn't react for a moment, "This should be included... right?"
Shang Kuoheng is really generous.
Shen Yizhi knew that Shu Xinyu didn't like to take advantage of others for no reason, so she couldn't accept her help with peace of mind.
Shang Kuoheng's move actually took advantage of this point of Shu Xinyu.
But she still didn't forgive him for doing that behind her back!
"Then why didn't you tell me about this?" Shen Yizhi's beautiful face hid some anger, and she didn't even take the tea handed to her by Shu Xinyu.
Shu Xinyu placed the teacup in front of her and hurriedly smoothed her hair. "Don't let anyone around you know. Keep it secret for now. This is something Shang Kuoheng and I agreed on. I didn't keep it from you."
Shen Yizhi's anger hadn't subsided much. "Then how did Pei Yanhe and the others know?"
Shu Xinyu thought for a moment, "Maybe he saw through it himself?"
impossible.
If Pei Yanhe had such divine eyes, he could even go to the temple gate to read people's faces.
It can only be that Shang Kuoheng said it behind the scenes!
Shang Kuoheng only told Pei Yanhe and Chen Jinyang that she could understand, after all, some topics can only be discussed between men.
But Pei Yanhe and Chen Jinyang knew about it but didn't tell her.
This is simply an unpardonable crime! He deserves death! This crime is unforgivable!
Especially the villain Pei Yanhe!
"I'm sorry, Zhizhi. I didn't mean to hide this from you." Shu Xinyu saw her teeth clenching tighter and tighter, thinking she was still angry. "I was planning to tell you sometime, but I was busy with work and never found the right time."
Shen Yizhi restrained his expression and took a sip of green tea to cool down his anger. “It’s okay, I’m not angry.”
"I just want to ask, was it Shang Kuoheng who took the initiative to bring you to the villa?"
Shu Xinyu didn't think much about it, "He said you would come too, so I followed."
I wanted to take this opportunity to tell her about this, but something unexpected happened.
Shen Yizhi is not the kind of person who would waste time on himself, so he decided to put the matter behind him.
"Then I'll take you to the villa for a good tour. I'm very familiar with this place."
-
What Chen Yizhi and Shu Xinyu said about strolling around was indeed a real stroll around.
Although Decheng Mountain Resort has some history and its architectural style is more like a royal garden, the further you go into the back garden, the more you will find pubs for young people.
Chen Yizhi took Shu Xinyu and climbed up through Wanlin Garden, strolling all the way until it was getting dark, and finally stopped in front of the tavern.
The roof is made of mahogany tiles and a gold-carved plaque stands in the middle with the words "No One's Tavern" printed on it.
"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Shen Yizhi turned his head to look at Shu Xinyu.
Shu Xinyu had no objection, "Okay."
The exterior design of the pub is ancient, but the interior is no different from any other pub. The only difference is that it is more quiet and suitable for emotional conversation.
Chen Yizhi walked in, pulled Shu Xinyu and prepared to sit down at the bar, but was stopped by Shu Xinyu.
"Zhizhi." Shu Xinyu looked at a certain place in the bar booth and called her.
Shen Yizhi turned around, somewhat confused, "What's wrong?"
Shu Xinyu pointed to the distance and said, "I saw Shang Kuoheng and the others."
Shen Yizhi followed his gaze.
As expected, three familiar people were sitting in the booth in the middle. Shang Kuoheng and Chen Jinyang were talking to each other constantly. In the middle of their conversation, the latter even patted the former's shoulder with a sad face, which seemed to imply that he had something to hide.
On the other hand, Pei Yanhe, who was lazily leaning against the back of the sofa, had not said a word, with his head slightly lowered, hidden in the semi-darkness.
Perhaps sensing something, Pei Yanhe slowly raised his head, his dark gaze piercing through the red and green lights.
Maybe because they were too far away, Shen Yizhi didn't know if he was looking at her, but she didn't hide.
No one took the next step.
They stared at each other blurry for three seconds, as if the cold air around them was gradually warming up.
Shen Yizhi's eyes were almost dry, and when he was about to look away, he saw Pei Yanhe leave the soft back of the sofa, lean forward, and his thin lips opened and closed slightly.
At this moment, Shen Yizhi saw it more clearly.
He said three words.
"Come sit here."
The devil would sit down just by listening to his words.
"No!"
Pei Yanhe clearly understood the two words through her mouth shape, and even the anger was still there.
He hunched his back with his elbows on his knees, his cold white neck forming a soft arc, and he rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.
At this time, Chen Jinyang happened to notice that Chen Yizhi at the bar pulled Shu Xinyu to sit with her back to them, and he also noticed Pei Yanhe's slightly irritable movements, and he immediately understood.
"It's over. He doesn't even want to sit with us. Forget explaining. I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to eat together."
Shang Kuoheng's gaze fell on another gentle figure beside him, "As for the explanation, I think someone has already said it for me."
He changed the subject and looked at the two people beside him, "Maybe this isn't what she's angry about."
"Do you even need to tell me that?" Chen Jinyang was desperate and turned to ask, "Pei Yanhe, don't you have any way to comfort him?"
Pei Yanhe glanced at him sideways, "How can I come up with such a plan?"
Chen Jinyang: "Don't you often make her angry, but don't you always make peace with her in the end? So how do you usually coax her?"
