Chapter 29 (Third Update) I am a billionaire, I...
At first, Lu Shangyan thought she was talking to someone else, so he deliberately moved aside. However, the woman's gaze continued to follow him. He realized something was wrong, turned his head and looked around to make sure he was the only one waiting for the elevator.
He then whispered, "Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"
He doesn't even have many friends, and they're all people he's only recently become acquainted with. How could he possibly be the mistress she's talking about?
But the other party said firmly, "I haven't mistaken you. The person I'm looking for is you, Lu Shangyan."
A strange feeling rose in Lu Shangyan's heart: "I don't know you."
The woman took a step closer to him, exuding a menacing aura: "So, do you know Dong Shufan? I'm his wife, An Yun. Now that you know me, can we find a quiet place to have a proper talk?"
Lu Shangyan opened his mouth, then said unhappily, "My relationship with him is innocent. Please don't view my relationship with him with prejudice."
An Yun laughed again, mocking his naivety. Then she glanced around, ignoring Lu Shangyan's annoyance, and said to herself, "Do you want me to show you the evidence of his infidelity in public? Or do you want those people who are always listening for scandals to also hear about it? I'm not afraid of the scandal being exposed, but I don't know if you are."
After saying that, she turned around and went back into the elevator, then stood there staring at Lu Shangyan with narrowed eyes.
Lu Shangyan gritted his teeth, struggled internally for a moment, and finally went with her.
The two went to the garden rest area behind the hospital. Perhaps it was psychological, but ever since Lu Shangyan found out he was pregnant, he had been feeling tired very easily. He simply sat down on a bench, looked straight ahead, and stopped looking at An Yun.
An Yun wasn't angry at all, and said directly, "I went to see you once before, right at the gate of your school, but you were with other people at the time, so I didn't have a chance to talk to you then."
Lu Shangyan remembered her, but did not respond to her words.
An Yun continued, "I know you're short of money. I'm here to make a deal with you. If you can prove that Dong Shufan recently cheated on me, I can give you 300,000 yuan."
Lu Shangyan's displeasure intensified, and for a moment he was even unwilling to show her any more tolerance just because she was a woman. His tone became much harsher: "I've already said, I'm just his employee, and there's nothing between us. Apart from work-related matters, I know nothing about anything else, and I don't want to get involved in anything between you two."
He tried to steady his breathing and looked back at An Yun: "If you're trying to achieve something by slandering him, I think you've got the wrong person."
An Yun has come to him now, so things are definitely not simple. He finally had a few days of peace and didn't want to get involved in these messy things again.
But An Yun remained completely at ease, taking out her phone, finding a video, and placing it in front of him.
This video was cut from a webcam. Dong Shufan was sitting on the sofa, still wearing his suit. Only two dim wall lamps were on, casting an orange glow. Lu Shangyan saw him take out his phone, find the encrypted hidden album, and start playing video after video.
After watching for a while, he got up, went to the liquor cabinet, took out some wine, added ice to his glass, and drank four glasses of wine in a row, treating the video like a snack with his drinks. Then, he leaned back on the sofa, completely relaxed, pulled out his belt, unbuckled his pants, and reached inside...
He always had his back to the camera while sitting on the sofa, but Lu Shangyan knew exactly what he was doing and immediately turned his head away.
Having achieved her goal, An Yun put her phone away: "Is that you in the video?"
Lu Shangyan felt a churning in his stomach and leaned halfway on the armrest of the chair, struggling to hold back from vomiting on the spot.
He felt disgusted. He had trusted Dong Shufan before and hadn't forced him to delete the video. Dong Shufan had said he had deleted it, and he had even thanked Dong Shufan for it. He never expected that Dong Shufan would use his photos and videos to do such a disgusting and filthy thing behind his back!
An Yun said, "I know he often cheats on me. He has always been attracted to men. I also have a lot of evidence of his past infidelity, but those were some time ago. If I want to divorce him, it would be most appropriate and advantageous for me to find his most recent affair partner."
"Besides, aren't you sick? The expenses you incur here must be quite high. With your current financial situation, it's probably not enough to cover the medical costs, so you must have been getting money from others as well."
"Since it's all about money, why not cooperate with me once? You don't even need to show your face. Just admit that Dong Shufan harassed you and that you had a one-night stand with him, and that will be enough."
Lu Shangyan's eyes reddened as he glared at her angrily. He then propped himself up to leave, hating such malicious speculation!
An Yun seemed to be puzzled by his actions, frowning slightly as she raised her voice and said, "Five hundred thousand."
Lu Shangyan's chest heaved violently; only by breathing in enough oxygen could he avoid fainting: "I didn't know what he did. I'll go find him right away and have him delete all the videos."
An Yun squinted and looked him up and down again, seemingly not believing what he said at all.
“If you disagree, I might not use this mild approach of trying to cooperate with you for a win-win situation anymore. If I release the video directly, I might get the result I want. You work for him, and even if you say there's nothing between you and him, probably not many people will believe you. Your relationship with him will definitely be misinterpreted.”
“I don’t want to make things difficult for you, which is why I’m here to negotiate. If the negotiation fails, then we will both suffer losses. It will be you and Dong Shufan who will both suffer losses, while I will be the only victim and get everything I want.”
Lu Shangyan's face turned extremely pale: "If you dare to do that, I will call the police immediately."
An Yun's threat had no effect. The two remained locked in a stalemate for a few seconds before An Yun reopened the door: "Or do you want more money?" She sneered: "You are even more greedy than I imagined, but it is precisely this that makes me realize you and the mistress have something in common."
After Pei Yumin brought the fruit back, she didn't see Lu Shangyan. She thought that he had fully recovered after resting and was unable to accept the fact that he was pregnant, so he went out to commit suicide or did something to harm himself.
He frantically ran around searching, and finally listened to the nurse's advice and found the garden.
He ran breathlessly to Lu Shangyan's side, grabbed his shoulders and looked him over several times to make sure he was safe and sound before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Then he noticed that Lu Shangyan was trembling with anger, and his breathing was even heavier than his own. He immediately became alert: "Who made you angry?"
Lu Shangyan didn't speak, but An Yun greeted him with a smile first. Pei Yumin didn't need to think much to guess what was going on and immediately gave her a cold look: "Did you offend him?"
An Yun had seen Pei Yumin at the school gate last time, but at that time Pei Yumin was always talking to Lu Shangyan with his face turned to the side. And since she was not very good at interacting with people of the Pei family's social standing, she knew even less about Pei Yumin. At that time, she was not quite sure if someone like Lu Shangyan could really be related to Pei Yumin. Now, seeing Pei Yumin's face and the way he looked at Lu Shangyan with concern, she finally realized that the two of them were indeed extraordinary.
And her decision not to release the entire video directly as she had just mentioned was also an extremely correct one.
Whether Lu Shangyan agrees with her proposal or not is no longer important, because Pei Yumin already knows of her existence, which will make her path much smoother in the future.
Thinking of this, An Yun felt much more relaxed. She deliberately reminded Pei Yumin, but said to Lu Shangyan, "Now I know why you were unwilling to make a deal with me for 500,000. It turns out you really don't care."
Lu Shangyan was completely confused. He only came to his senses after she had walked away. Pei Yumin didn't like An Yun at all. When he saw her back, he wished he could glare two holes through her back!
He was worried that Lu Shangyan would get tired from standing for too long, so he looked away after a short while: "I brought you a lot of fresh fruit, do you want to go back and eat it now? Or sit outside for a while longer?"
Lu Shangyan was still feeling nauseous and wanted something cold to calm him down: "Could you bring this down for me? I want to eat outside."
Pei Yumin didn't say a word, just nodded and ran off, telling him to sit there and wait patiently, and not to go too far so that he wouldn't be able to find him again.
Lu Shangyan scratched the back of his hand, belatedly realizing that he seemed to be doing things a little too well by ordering Pei Yumin around, and he began to suspect that he was getting ahead because of his son.
Pei Yumin brought the box down and used a toothpick to feed him fruit. He was unwilling but could not persuade Pei Yumin, so he could only bite into it.
While feeding him, Pei Yumin asked, "What did that woman want from you just now?"
Lu Shangyan instinctively shook his head. Pei Yumin didn't want to disturb him while he was eating, so he didn't ask any further questions. Anyway, if Lu Shangyan didn't say anything, he would find another way to investigate.
Lu Shangyan quietly ate a few more pieces, and then he noticed that each fruit was cut into different shapes, such as stars, hearts, moons, and rabbits. It was obvious that they were not bought, but were cut by Pei Yumin himself.
Seeing that he was willing to eat, Pei Yumin said, "I'll prepare more for you tomorrow."
Lu Shangyan pointed to the star-shaped pineapple, and after taking a bite, he slowly said, "Ask your question again?"
Pei Yumin was taken aback. Although he was puzzled, he still asked, "Want some fruit?"
Lu Shangyan smiled and shook his head. Pei Yumin thought for a moment and then asked, "What did that woman want from you?"
This time, Lu Shangyan was willing to answer: "As a reward for letting me eat the star pineapple, I'm willing to tell you the secret I just told you."
"Her name is An Yun, and she is Dong Shufan's wife."
He recounted everything that had just happened in great detail. Pei Yumin was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth in anger: "That bastard Dong Shufan! And An Yun, that woman is no simpleton either!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to help you resolve this matter. In the future, you must stay away from those two. An Yun's methods are even more ruthless than Dong Shufan's. If she comes to you again, you must tell me immediately!"
Seeing how concerned he was for him, Lu Shangyan's gloom vanished, and he asked him in return, "An Yun is rich and powerful. You can't use the same methods you used on Chen Shuo to deal with her. So what else can you do?"
Pei Yumin straightened his chest instantly: "So much has happened these past few days, and you've been handling it well, so I think it's okay to let you know one more truth."
“I’m coming clean. I’m richer and more powerful than any of them. I’m actually a billionaire. In fact, my whole family are billionaires!”
