Chapter 38 He said he would not divorce
"Ayu." Li Mingzhu frowned, looking a little embarrassed. "Have I caused you any trouble?"
Jiang Yu was slightly startled, and his fingers gripping the coffee cup unconsciously tightened a little. His tone was as cold as ever: "No!"
Li Mingzhu laughed self-deprecatingly at this and said, "You don't have to hide it from me. Huanhuan has already come to me. I tried very hard to explain to her, but it seems like she doesn't believe me at all. I, I don't know what to do."
"Ayu, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect..."
She looked up at the man in front of her, her eyes red, full of self-blame and helplessness.
Jiang Yu seemed unconcerned and said calmly, "Sister Mingzhu, there was nothing between us in the first place."
Li Mingzhu's heart suddenly shook, and her thumb nail dug into her skin tightly, looking at Jiang Yu in disbelief.
But soon, she hid these emotions very deeply.
She forced a smile, picked up the coffee cup in front of her, and said with a helpless smile: "Yes! There was nothing between us, but Huanhuan... Ayu, why does she think that you and I..."
Jiang Yu lazily raised his eyelids and said nonchalantly, "Huanhuan is young and likes to daydream. Sister Mingzhu, don't bother with her."
Young?
Hearing this, Li Mingzhu felt angry. It had been five years and Shen Qinghuan was already 25 years old, but he actually said that she was young!
"Of course I wouldn't, it's just her personality..." Li Mingzhu said with a helpless smile.
Seeing that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, Jiang Yu was not in a hurry and drank his coffee slowly.
Li Mingzhu unconsciously clenched her fingers. After a moment's hesitation, she tentatively spoke, "Ayu, I heard that your relationship with Huanhuan isn't very good. They even bet that you two will definitely get divorced. I've been abroad for the past few years, so I don't know your situation..."
As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Yu's expression.
Jiang Yu looked up at Li Mingzhu, his eyes dark and unclear, yet revealing a profound meaning that was hard to fathom. He said, "People are so idle, they love to poke fun at other people's privacy. Sister Mingzhu is such a smart person, she wouldn't believe such gossip, would she?"
Li Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.
She had never imagined that Jiang Yu would have such an attitude! He was protecting Shen Qinghuan silently.
Li Mingzhu suppressed her inner uneasiness and smiled gently, "Of course I don't believe it. That's why I wanted to ask you in person, but Ah Yu..."
She changed the subject and frowned slightly.
Before Li Mingzhu could finish her words, Jiang Yu interrupted her with a cold expression, "No buts, Shen Qinghuan and I will not divorce."
After saying that, he stood up and left without even looking at Li Mingzhu.
Li Mingzhu was stunned. She stood up subconsciously and shouted at the receding figure, "Ayu!"
Jiang Yu did not stop or look back.
Li Mingzhu suddenly sneered and stared blankly at Jiang Yu's back as he left.
It took her a long time to come back to her senses.
Jiang Yu just said that he and Shen Qinghuan would not divorce? What did he mean by that? He would not divorce Shen Qinghuan? But he clearly did not like Shen Qinghuan. If he did not like her, why did they still want to be together?
Li Mingzhu frowned tightly and grabbed her hair in pain.
One, two, three...
She pulled out her long hair one by one, and it fell all over the ground.
She pulled her hair randomly and muttered to herself: "Why is this happening? He obviously doesn't like Shen Qinghuan, so why doesn't he want to divorce her? If he doesn't divorce Shen Qinghuan, what should I do?"

After leaving the coffee shop, Jiang Yu took out his cell phone.
He stared at the address book on his phone for a while and dialed Shen Qinghuan's number.
A light melody fell into my ears, and soon, an uncertain voice came from the receiver: "Jiang Yu?"
Jiang Yu said "hmm" expressionlessly.
On the other end of the phone, Shen Qinghuan was stunned by the familiar voice. Jiang Yu? Afraid that she had read the wrong number, she quickly checked the screen. It was his number, and the voice was also his.
But why was he calling her on her cell phone at this time? Was he blaming her for taking leave on her own initiative? Or was it because of something else?
After hesitating for a moment, she asked cautiously, "What's the matter with you calling me? I took a day off today and didn't go to work."
Worried that he might be forgetful, Shen Qinghuan told him again in person about her request for leave.
Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression changed slightly, and he seemed a little impatient, "Nothing!"
"Oh!" Shen Qinghuan said, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. I'm a little busy here."
“…”
Before he could say anything else, Shen Qinghuan hung up the phone.
Listening to the hurried calls beside him, Jiang Yu gritted his teeth in anger. She just hung up like that? It was rare for him to call her for work, and she actually hung up so easily!
Shen Qinghuan ended the call and stared at the gradually darkening phone screen for a while. Without thinking much, he put it in his pocket.
“Miss Shen?”
Just as she was about to leave, a familiar voice rang in her ears.
Shen Qinghuan was stunned. She turned to look at the owner of the voice, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with surprise. "Doctor Zhou?! What a coincidence! Why are you here?"
This was a high-end teahouse. Logically, young people wouldn't usually go there. If she hadn't been accompanying her grandparents to meet friends, she definitely wouldn't have come. And what about Dr. Zhou? Why was he here?
"I……"
Zhou Sinian opened his mouth and was about to explain when he was interrupted by a savage and coquettish voice, "Zhou Sinian, didn't you just say you were going to the bathroom? Why are you chatting with another woman here?"
Ren Shuyan walked forward and stood next to Zhou Sinian without hesitation, looking at Shen Qinghuan with a provocative look.
Finally, she said confidently, "Sister, let me introduce myself to you. My name is Ren Shuyan, and I'm Zhou Sinian's girlfriend."
"Shuyan! Stop talking nonsense!"
Zhou Sinian frowned suddenly and wanted to pull his arm free, but Ren Shuyan held him tightly.
His face couldn't help but darken, "Ren Shuyan, let go!"
Ren Shuyan was stunned for a moment, then instantly became unhappy, her eyes red, "Zhou Sinian, you bully me! Wuwuwu..."
Zhou Sinian ignored Ren Shuyan and looked at the silent Shen Qinghuan. He explained calmly, "Sorry! This is my neighbor's little sister. She likes to joke around."
Ren Shuyan glared at him angrily, but didn't dare to say anything more.
Shen Qinghuan smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's okay."
"Well, my grandparents are still waiting for me, I'll leave first."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left as if escaping.
