As soon as he opened the car door, Shen Yanshan turned around and glared at Shen Meiyan, urging her impatiently, "Hurry up and get in the car, go see your sister with your brother-in-law."
Shen Meiyan was completely bewildered. Didn't she say before she came that she absolutely couldn't let Gu Qingyan know that Shen Zhi Qiu was "cheating" on another man?
Although we now know they're divorced, taking Gu Qingyan to see Shen Zhi Qiu is just putting the two rivals in a fight. What if they start fighting?
Shen Yanshan saw through Shen Meiyan's thoughts and quickly shook his head at her, putting his index finger to his lips to signal her not to speak. Shen Meiyan had no choice but to lower her head and walk to the car door.
"Wait a minute." Gu Qingyan suddenly spoke up, giving the father and daughter a cold look. "You two are better off not going."
"What?" Shen Yanshan looked up in surprise, wondering if he had misheard. Gu Qingyan's disrespect in front of outsiders made him lose face instantly.
“Dad, judging from the direction you and Meiyan went, you must have already been to Zhi Qiu’s place.” Gu Qingyan pursed his lips. “Besides, judging from the way you and Meiyan are, Zhi Qiu probably didn’t ask you to stay. The weather is also quite cold, so you shouldn’t bother going back and forth. Go to the hotel and get some rest.”
Gu Qingyan put it very tactfully, but he was almost saying outright whether they had been kicked out by Shen Zhi Qiu.
"It's okay, Dad and I will ride in your car, then Shen Zhi Qiu will definitely let us in," Shen Mei Yan said immediately as soon as she got into the car.
Shen Yanshan's face darkened, and he felt an urge to slap her to death. She really knew how to rub salt in the wound. With her saying that, how could Gu Qingyan possibly let them join them?
Besides, is this something you can say in front of outsiders?
Isn't that shameful?!
Shen Yanshan's lips twitched, but being a shrewd and calculating person, he immediately came up with an excuse, "Qingyan, it's like this, you see, Zhiqiu is pregnant and going through a lot. People say that pregnancy is affected by hormones, and emotions fluctuate a lot. If she says something unpleasant, please bear with her. Meiyan and I are fine, we're all family, we just listen and let it go, so we don't think there's anything wrong with it."
Shen Meiyan stared at her father in shock. Could this really be covered up like this?!
“I’d better go by myself this time, otherwise…” Gu Qingyan’s brows furrowed with worry, and he suddenly shut his mouth. He didn’t want to reveal the actual situation at the moment, as he, like Shen Yanshan, was ashamed.
Shen Yanshan was somewhat displeased to be rejected as well, but he instantly realized from Gu Qingyan's expression that Shen Zhi Qiu was also not going to let him in. Judging from his tone, it was clear that Shen Zhi Qiu had been there more than once or twice. It seemed that Gu Qingyan knew more about Shen Zhi Qiu and Lu Jia's relationship than he did, and had known about it for much longer.
Haha, so he still wants to go find Shen Zhi Qiu? What a romantic!
Thinking of this, Shen Yanshan suddenly chuckled. He grabbed Shen Meiyan's arm and whispered, "Come on, let's get down. We'll go check into the hotel first. Let Qingyan go see Zhi Qiu first. We shouldn't get involved. Anyway, we'll be staying in the capital for a while, and we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet Zhi Qiu!"
Shen Meiyan struggled for a moment, unwilling to get out of the car, but Shen Yanshan glared at her fiercely and pulled her out without saying a word. Then he smiled at Gu Qingyan and said, "Then you two go ahead, I won't keep you any longer. Qingyan, since we're both in the capital, we can make an appointment another day."
Gu Qingyan was somewhat surprised by Shen Yanshan's change, but she was anxious to see Shen Zhiqiu, so she didn't say anything more.
Watching the car drive away, Shen Meiyan forcefully shook off Shen Yanshan's hand and shouted angrily, "Dad! What are you doing?! I had such a good opportunity to be alone with Gu Qingyan, maybe even to cultivate our relationship! And you ruined it all!"
"What do you know?!" Shen Yanshan's face darkened as he looked sternly at Shen Meiyan. "Look at how anxious Gu Qingyan is to see Shen Zhi Qiu, how could he possibly have the mind to pay attention to you?! And you too, there's always a deeper meaning behind what your father tells you to do, but all you do is act willfully!"
"I knew you were being willful?" Shen Meiyan said, wiping away her tears. "I finally got to be with Gu Qingyan, and I was about to marry into a wealthy family. Did you even consider how I felt when you blocked my way like this?!"
As she spoke, Shen Meiyan plopped down on the ground and began to wail loudly.
"Get up!" Shen Yanshan rubbed his forehead helplessly, his tone not very good. The weather was cold, and he was already full of anger. He had no energy to coax his spoiled and willful daughter.
Shen Meiyan secretly observed Shen Yanshan's reaction through her fingers. Seeing him frowning and deep in thought with his hands behind his back, she immediately gave up the idea of continuing to cry and make a fuss. So she stood up, dusted off the dust on her bottom, walked to the suitcase, pulled it up, and said to Shen Yanshan, "Let's go, Dad, let's take a taxi to the hotel. This awful weather is freezing!"
Shen Yanshan's brow twitched. So it was possible not to coax him?
---------
As soon as the car stopped in front of the villa, Wei Qiao and a group of bodyguards lined up and blocked the entrance.
Gu Qingyan's face darkened instantly, and he coldly prepared to get out of the car and start cursing.
Si Mingyu was stunned for a moment. Based on his understanding of Gu Qingyan over the years, he immediately understood his intention. He reached out to stop him and lowered his voice to remind him, "Qingyan, don't forget why you came here. If you want to argue with Zhi Qiu and make her angry, then go down and curse her."
I'll wait for you in the car.
Gu Qingyan's hand paused as he opened the door. Thinking of Shen Zhi Qiu's cold face, he gave an awkward smile and withdrew his hand.
"Get out of the car and talk properly." Si Mingyu glanced at him with some concern.
“Yes, Mingyu, thank you.” Gu Qingyan met his eyes, somewhat moved. “I didn’t expect you to be willing to help me. I thought you would hate me, even despise me.”
“I wouldn’t say I hate you.” Si Mingyu sighed and unbuckled his seatbelt. “I just want Zhi Qiu to be alright. Similarly, I don’t want my longtime friend to suffer a wrongful death in the police station.”
If you really did it, then I think you deserve it, and you should reflect on your actions while you're in there. But I know you definitely didn't; you wouldn't touch those things.
Gu Qingyan didn't know what to say, so she nodded heavily, "Thank you."
Gu Qingyan opened the car door and got out, while Si Mingyu pulled the car over to the side of the road and stopped.
Just as Gu Qingyan was about to walk towards the villa entrance, Wei Qiao stopped him, "President Rong instructed that you are not allowed to go in, so please turn back!"
Just as Gu Qingyan was about to speak, a huge explosion suddenly came from not far away.
