Chapter 136 Exchange Conditions
I didn't answer Meng Zicheng's words. When he just walked out of the door, I heard someone call him, "Meng Zicheng, are you okay?"
It was Su Ying's voice.
My face darkened. Shen Yixiao had sent her to Brother Xiong before. Liang Feng said that if she didn't die there, she would be skinned alive and it would be difficult for her to be free again.
I didn't expect that she would be free so soon.
I know, this is because Shen Yixiao no longer has to worry about me knowing about Lu Xiaoyun, so it doesn't matter if Su Ying comes out.
Su Ying was waiting for Meng Zicheng outside, so the two of them must have been together.
"When did Su Ying come back?" I asked Shen Yixiao.
Shen Yixiao’s expression was subtle, “Just these two days, Meng Zicheng likes her very much, for Meng Zicheng’s sake, I’ll let her go this time.”
He knew clearly what Su Ying had done, yet he still let her go.
"Wife, please think carefully about what I just said. It will be good for both of us." Shen Yixiao didn't want to talk about Su Ying's affairs. It didn't matter to him. What he was most worried about now was Lu Xiaoyun's problem.
After saying that, he went upstairs without talking to me anymore.
Is this an ultimatum for me? I sat back on the sofa, with light cast by the gorgeous crystal chandelier above my head. The spacious living room was filled with expensive furniture, gorgeous and splendid, but all I could feel was darkness and coldness. This place was more like a cage to me.
——
The next morning, I received a call from my mother.
She saw the news about Shen Yixiao and I quarreling, and she was very worried.
"Xiaoyue, no matter what happens, you must tell me and don't face it alone. I will definitely convince your father. If Shen Yixiao treats you badly, I will go and pick you up." My mother's words were full of worry.
She didn't even ask me about the whole story. My intuition told her that I was not living a good life and that everything was an illusion.
I tried to make my tone sound more relaxed, "Mom, I'm fine, don't worry about me."
"I scolded your father last time. In fact, he is very concerned about you, but he is too stubborn." My mother tried to ease the relationship between me and my father. She was worried that I would hold a grudge against my father because of these things.
After all, I used to be like this for Shen Yixiao.
Just when I was about to explain, I heard the sound of the door opening.
Shen Yixiao and I slept separately last night. He slept in the guest room. He came to my room early in the morning to find me. He must have wanted to ask me if I had thought it through.
"Mom, I'm hanging up first." I hung up the phone immediately.
The door was completely opened the next second, and Shen Yixiao asked unhappily as soon as he came in, "Are you talking to your mother on the phone?"
I forgot that he could monitor the call records on my phone.
I didn't deny it, "Yes, she said someone was watching them outside my house. Was it someone you sent? Shen Yixiao, are you going too far?"
Shen Yixiao came over and sat down beside the bed, with helplessness on his face, "Then what should I do? You don't listen to me at all now, and you won't forgive me. I have no choice."
The shameless person was referring to Shen Yixiao.
Before I could say anything, he said, "Don't go out for the next two days until the production crew comes to pick us up."
This is another plan to put me under house arrest.
He was now ready to confront me openly, not even pretending to coax me. I asked with amusement, "If I agree to clarify the matter between you and Lu Xiaoyun now, will you not have to put me under house arrest?"
"House arrest? Honey, you're making it sound too serious. I just think there are so many rumors out there right now, and I don't want you to get upset when you go out. I know you will agree to clarify, because we won't get divorced and will grow old together." Shen Yixiao could hear my hesitation, and he wanted to hug me with some joy.
I dodged him, "I will clarify, but I have conditions."
Shen Yixiao asked, "You say."
"Tell your people to leave my house, don't keep an eye on them, and don't go to Li Qingming's kindergarten to look for him." I replied.
This condition made Shen Yixiao hesitate. He stared at me, and both of us were wary of each other in our eyes.
Even though it has come to this, he still refuses to divorce easily. He is still immersed in his loving wife persona and continues to force it for the sake of his own face.
"It's okay if you don't agree. I won't clarify. I can't control how public opinion develops. You should work hard on public relations." I said with a bad attitude.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yixiao chose to agree to me.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little worried whether he would do what he said. I had to ask Xu Zhengnan to keep an eye on him for me. If he lied to me, I didn't know if I could still endure it.
Only when Shen Yixiao's people evacuate, it will be safe for my parents to move. Otherwise, their whereabouts are in their hands, so it will be useless whether we move or not.
Then, under Shen Yixiao's watchful eyes, I posted a clarification statement on Weibo, proving that he and Lu Xiaoyun were innocent. We did go to the hospital because I wanted to go and because Lu Xiaoyun and I have a good relationship.
This statement caused some people to nitpick and some people commented on my Weibo post.
"Li Yue, you can't be so cowardly. How can you have a good relationship with Lu Xiaoyun?"
"Are you and Lu Xiaoyun good friends?"
"Good relationship, how good?"
I know everything about Lu Xiaoyun, including her birthday, zodiac sign, blood type, lifestyle preferences, clothing style, and family situation. I know all of these clearly from our past life together.
Shen Yixiao was very pleased with my cooperation. He held my hand and promised affectionately, "Wife, I won't let you down. When we get through this difficult time, I will find a way to restore your trust in me, and we will definitely return to the happiness we had before."
It made me want to vomit. Who wants to go back to the past with him?
For the whole next day, Shen Yixiao stayed with me like a shadow, asking about my well-being and being as attentive and considerate as before. But it was all in vain. The relationship between us would never be restored to its original state because of his actions.
Until the night before the recording of the show, Shen Yixiao received a call from Lu Xiaoyun again, and finally couldn't help but go out again. In fact, Lu Xiaoyun had been texting and calling him, and I noticed it, but he was deliberately ignoring them.
After he left, Lu Xiaoyun’s message came: Madam, I’m sorry, please borrow Mr. Shen’s name.
She is so shameless that she can even borrow other people's husbands.
Now she is becoming more and more arrogant, and her provocations towards me are becoming more and more obvious, and she seems to no longer be afraid of Shen Yixiao blaming her.
Just when I was about to put down my phone, a message popped up on WeChat. It was a voice message from Xu Zhengnan. His voice was angry and accusing, "Li Yue, what on earth are you thinking about?!"
