Chapter 52 I've had my eye on her for a long time
Bai Hansui never expected Huo Chilin to react like this, and she stood there in a daze, holding her phone.
Although they were in a cold war these two days, Huo Chilin would forgive him in the past as long as she showed weakness.
Bai Hansui's voice trembled slightly, "But there is so much compensation, I can't come up with it right away..."
Huo Chilin's voice was cold, "Who told you to frame Shen Lai?"
Originally, Chen Lai had no intention of saying anything, but Bai Hansui insisted on framing her on the show, forcing Chen Lai to clarify.
Now he is also being called a scumbag, and his Weibo posts are full of greetings to his ancestors.
When he thought of this, Huo Chilin's face became even uglier.
This morning his assistant told him that someone had found Shen Lai's former friend before them, and that person was Pei Jingyan.
Not long after, the clarifying Weibo posts flooded Weibo, and it was obvious that capital was involved.
If Pei Jingyan was concerned about the development of his artists, he could have just left it to the entertainment company to handle. Why would he have to do it himself?
If you say that the two of them have no feelings for each other, he would never believe it even if you beat him to death.
At this time, Bai Hansui's voice interrupted Huo Chilin's thoughts, "So you don't care about me anymore? Chilin, we are a couple..."
Huo Chilin said coldly, "When you pushed me out to take the blame, did you ever think about the fact that we were a couple?"
Bai Hansui's throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't speak.
"Don't forget, it was you who seduced me first, otherwise I wouldn't have broken up with Shen Lai."
Bai Hansui was already worried about the penalty for breach of contract. When she heard Huo Chilin say this, she gritted her teeth and said, "You really still like Chen Lai, right?!"
Huo Chilin frowned, as if the secret thoughts deep in his heart had been exposed, and he seemed a little angry and embarrassed, "Don't bring up this topic of mine."
"Then why are you mad at her? I'm obviously your girlfriend!"
Huo Chilin was stunned by the question.
Bai Hansui was right, she was his girlfriend, but why did his heart ache when he thought of how close Chen Lai was to Pei Jingyan?
Is it really like what Shen Lai said, that he still can't forget him?
Huo Chilin's mind was in a mess, and his tone became even more impatient. "Anyway, you should solve the problems you caused yourself. I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you for now."
After saying that, Huo Chilin hung up the phone and didn't answer no matter how many times Bai Hansui called.
Because "Rumors Stop on the Road" was temporarily suspended for rectification, the guests could only return to their residences and wait for further notification from the program team.
Wu Qi reached out and hugged Shen Lai, "I didn't expect that we would be separated so soon. I really can't bear to leave you."
Shen Lai smiled and patted Wu Qi on the back. "We've added each other on WeChat. When you're free, we can always go out and play together."
"And maybe the show will resume and we'll be able to see each other again soon."
Wu Qi also smiled, "I hope so."
She returned to Yan Rui, Yan Rui nodded to Pei Jingyan, and the two left.
The Shen family's driver was already waiting at the door. Pei Jingyan was about to get in the car when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Looking at the word "Mom" flashing on the screen, Pei Jingyan frowned slightly.
He looked up and said to Shen Lai, "Get in the car first. I'll take a call."
Shen Lai thought it was a company matter, so she nodded and walked towards the parking lot.
Watching Shen Lai get into the car, Pei Jingyan walked aside and answered the phone, "Mom."
The middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, "If I don't call you, are you not going to take her home?"
Pei Jingyan curled his lips, "Are you so impatient to meet your daughter-in-law?"
"Stop talking nonsense," the middle-aged woman said. "Anyway, you have to bring her back today. Your dad is home too, so it's a good opportunity for us to meet her."
Pei Jingyan looked up at Shen Lai, who was fastening her seat belt with her head down, and said lightly, "I know."
After the call ended, Pei Jingyan put away his phone and was about to return to the car when suddenly a figure blocked his way.
Pei Jingyan looked up and saw Huo Chilin standing in front of him with a serious expression.
Pei Jingyan remained calm, "Mr. Huo, what's the matter?"
Huo Chilin looked at the flawless and noble face in front of him and said straight to the point, "Have you liked Chen Lai for a long time?"
Pei Jingyan's eyebrows moved slightly.
Huo Chilin stared at his face intently, almost squeezing out a voice from his teeth, "People outside say that you are sworn enemies. I don't believe it. If you really don't like Shen Lai, how could you marry her and have a child with her?"
With Pei Jingyan's ability, if he doesn't want this child, he has plenty of ways to deal with it.
What's more, Pei Jingyan's behavior during this period did not seem like he hated Chen Lai at all.
Pei Jingyan suddenly smiled, "So what?"
Huo Chilin was stunned. "What did you say?"
Pei Jingyan smiled and spoke slowly, "You're right. I've had my eye on her for a long time."
Huo Chilin's expression changed instantly, and his fists clenched until they creaked. "You really have fallen in love with Shen Lai for a long time!"
No wonder Pei Jingyan always defended Chen Lai on the show. Even when Bai Hansui threw dirty water at her, she immediately found someone to resolve the issue.
It turned out that Pei Jingyan had been eyeing Chen Lai for a long time.
But when did it start?
When did Pei Jingyan fall in love with Chen Lai!
Seeing Huo Chilin's expression gradually wavering, Pei Jingyan stepped forward and whispered in Huo Chilin's ear, "If you hadn't broken up with her because you were greedy for wealth, I wouldn't have had the chance to do it. In fact, I should thank you for sending her to me."
These words were like a sharp knife, piercing Huo Chilin's heart without any warning.
Pei Jingyan continued calmly, "Strictly speaking, you should be considered the matchmaker who brought us together."
Huo Chilin instantly felt like a punctured balloon, his entire body suddenly losing strength. His hands fell to his sides, and the regret in his heart intertwined into an indescribable pain.
It was he who pushed Shen Lai to Pei Jingyan.
It's him!
Pei Jingyan didn't look at Huo Chilin's desperate expression and turned away.
Back in the car, Shen Lai glanced through the window at Huo Chilin not far away and asked puzzledly, "What did you talk about?"
Pei Jingyan slowly fastened his seatbelt and said calmly, "Of course it's for your fake bestie."
Shen Lai frowned, "Bai Hansui?"
However, she soon realized that Bai Hansui had caused the program to be suspended, and she would probably have to pay a lot of liquidated damages. Huo Chilin probably went to Pei Jingyan to speak well of Bai Hansui.
As for what to say, you don’t have to guess.
But looking at Huo Chilin's face, which looked even uglier than if he had been dead for several days, he must have been rejected.
Shen Lai realized belatedly that something was wrong and asked in confusion, "That's not right. I'm the victim. Why doesn't he talk to me in person?"
Pei Jingyan glanced at her sideways, "Why, do you feel sorry for not being able to talk to your ex-boyfriend?"
Shen Lai was annoyed, "Who regrets it?"
She wished Huo Chilin would stop bothering her.
Pei Jingyan leaned lazily on the chair, "He came to me, of course, because I am your husband, and only I can solve the problem."
Although she had heard Pei Jingyan say the word "husband" several times, Shen Lai still couldn't get used to it.
However, what Pei Jingyan said made sense. If Huo Chilin went to find her, since they had so many unpleasant things before, Huo Chilin would definitely not end up well. But it would be different if he went to find Pei Jingyan. They had no grudges against each other, so maybe Pei Jingyan would consider letting Bai Hansui go.
It's a pity that Pei Jingyan is nominally her "husband". Even for the sake of concealing the truth, Pei Jingyan would never help Bai Hansui.
Soft and soothing music was playing in the car, and sunlight was pouring into the car through the windows.
As they were driving, Shen Lai suddenly realized something was wrong. This road didn't seem to be the way back to the villa.
She turned her head curiously and looked at Pei Jingyan, "Aren't we going back?"
Pei Jingyan was leaning back in his chair, eyes closed, and said calmly, "Let's go to my parents' house."
