Bab 6: Chapter 6 Dispute
Hearing the sound of a car engine coming from downstairs in the villa, Shen Heyu felt a chill in her heart.
This intern, compared to every one of Pei Yansi's previous substitutes, was even more ruthless—a very clever player.
Regarding the rumor that she and Pei Yansi were married, that strange phone call was probably just a probe, wanting to know if the person answering the phone was her.
Calculative, measured in advance and retreat, not just in appearance, but everything including demeanor and every word and deed, was the existence similar to that "moonlight."
Shen Heyu had a feeling, as if Pei Yansi would completely become hers.
Just as she was thinking this, the door to the master bedroom was pushed open from the outside.
Shen Heyu glanced over and saw it was Old Mrs. Pei.
Old Mrs. Pei, with an unfazed expression, stepped forward and looked around the empty room, saying, "Where has he gone again?"
Shen Heyu replied, "Perhaps something at the company."
She was not the kind of person who tattled.
Old Mrs. Pei observed her expression, appearing to speculate the truth of her words.
Originally hearing the loud slam of the door here, she thought the couple was arguing and came to see, only to find that the damn young man had already left.
Seemingly realizing that Shen Heyu was covering for him, Old Mrs. Pei said, "Don't be too sad, when he comes back, I will talk some sense into him. What he's done is utterly unacceptable!"
Shen Heyu pursed her lips and said, "No, really, there was just an emergency at the company, that's all."
Old Mrs. Pei was silent for two seconds, seeing that even though Shen Heyu's face showed nothing, her beautiful eyes revealed irrepressible disappointment and sadness.
She consoled, "You don't need to cover for him, I know what he's like. Next time something like this happens, I will stand up for you."
Shen Heyu knew she wouldn't believe her, but she didn't know what else to say, simply lowering her head in silence, her eyes gradually filling with tears.
She held back her crying.
Seeing her silent, Old Mrs. Pei sighed and left.
The master bedroom quieted down, darkness all around, even the miserable white light from the crystal chandelier felt cold at this moment, and the tears that had filled Shen Heyu's eyes finally fell.
They plopped onto the back of her hand, almost scaldingly hot.
'Dingling—'
The ringtone of her phone sounded at this moment, Shen Heyu collected herself, lifted the back of her hand to wipe away the teardrops, regaining her usual cool and strong demeanor.
She fumbled for the smart phone by her bed, and saw the caller ID was 'Pei Yansi'.
Shen Heyu pressed to answer, not initiating any conversation, just waiting for the other side to speak first.
Pei Yansi's cold voice came through, "Come to the hospital, apologize to Shengsheng."
Shen Heyu's lips curled into a cold sneer, her tone filled with reluctance, "Why should I?"
"Why?" Pei Yansi's laugh came through, unexpectedly carrying a chilling coldness, "Because of what you said to her, she's now fractured her bone. Shouldn't you apologize?"
Shen Heyu retorted sarcastically, "I don't know what I supposedly said to her; if you believe her, you should apologize to her. After all, aren't you the one who 'bullied' her?"
"If you agree to a divorce, none of this would have happened without me. Ultimately, it's your fault."
Pei Yansi couldn't believe she had become so unreasonably argumentative, he nearly clenched his teeth as he spoke, "Shen Heyu, you better not push me."
Shen Heyu could tell he was angry.
Yet she refused to show weakness, "What am I forcing you to do?"
"Are you coming or not?" Pei Yansi gave up on the pointless argument, his tone several degrees lower.
Shen Heyu didn't want to answer him anymore. She was exhausted to the extreme and hung up the phone, indicating her stance through her actions.
On the other end, Pei Yansi, hearing the busy signal from the phone, his narrow eyes lifted with a hint of sinister coldness.
Seeing this from her hospital bed, Bai Sheng'er felt slightly panicked and asked in a tender voice, "What's wrong?"
Pei Yansi concealed his indifference and said softly, "It's nothing. I will explain this matter to you, don't worry."
Bai Sheng'er nodded, looking pitiful, her large, doe eyes innocently shimmering, moist and alluring.
Pei Yansi's thoughts wavered momentarily, but as his gaze moved to her bandaged calf, a clear look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
*
Since marrying Pei Yansi, Shen Heyu's sleep had never been good.
The next day, like usual, she woke up very early; it wasn't fully light yet, and the room was shrouded in a dim light.
The large double bed was empty beside her. As usual, she reached her hand to the spot where Pei Yansi usually slept.
It was cold; even his scent that occasionally wafted into her nostrils seemed like a luxury.
With her eyes open, Shen Heyu waited until it was fully light, then washed up and went to the office.
She applied light makeup to cover the dark circles under her eyes, but compared to the young intern Bai Sheng'er, she still lacked some youthful vitality.
Aging gracelessly is almost every woman's greatest worry.
While at work, Shen Heyu was making tea in the break room when she happened to run into Bai Sheng'er, who was making coffee.
Seeing the youthful vitality on Bai Sheng'er, it was false to say she wasn't envious. Shen Heyu quickly averted her gaze, picked up her tea once it was ready, and walked away.
At that moment, Bai Sheng'er, who had just finished making her coffee, called out to her, "Director Shen."
Shen Heyu stopped in her tracks, didn't turn around, only faced her with her back, "What is it?"
Bai Sheng'er seemed indifferent to her cold demeanor, came up to her, and said, "President Pei stayed with me in the hospital all night last night."
"Oh."
Bai Sheng'er smiled, "I was injured, and he told me not to come to work. He said it pains his heart to see me struggle, and that he would support me financially if needed. But I felt I should come, otherwise how could I live up to the care President Pei has shown me, right?"
Shen Heyu scoffed coldly, her gaze fiercely fixed on Bai Sheng'er's youthful face, sparing no mercy as she revealed, "Lies can't buy true love. Pei Yansi won't love anyone, including you. Once the lie is exposed, you won't even be a plaything."
Bai Sheng'er was momentarily stunned, seemingly not expecting such hurtful words. She quickly recovered, tossing back the metaphorical knife Shen Heyu had thrown, "Then President Pei doesn't love you either."
Shen Heyu heard the sound of her heart breaking.
As if accustomed, she mustered a semblance of a smile, her eyes however, remained chillingly cold, no longer wanting to deal with her, she moved to walk away.
After taking a few steps, just outside the break room, Bai Sheng'er suddenly rushed out, shouting, "I'm sorry, Director Shen, it was not intentional, let me explain..."
She suddenly collided with Shen Heyu's back, the coffee in her hand spilling all over the latter.
Scalding water poured down, and a burning, intense pain erupted from her skin. Shen Heyu furrowed her brow, swiftly turned around and backed away, creating distance from Bai Sheng'er.
As she turned, she saw Bai Sheng'er fall to the floor, her already injured calf now soaked in the scalding coffee spilled on the ground.
