Sharing Dreams with My Bestie’s Cousin
Chapter 142 - 142 Who is imitating whom

Chapter 142: Who is imitating whom? Chapter 142: Who is imitating whom? Shen Zhiyao saw that Rong Huaishen divided some of his attention to Meng Fan, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes, and she immediately clung to Rong Huaishen, “Huaishen, I want to eat Dragon’s Beard Pastry.”

At her words, a few traces of tenderness appeared at the bottom of Rong Huaishen’s eyes, and he replied, “Alright, let’s buy some.”

Shen Zhiyao giggled and affectionately linked her arm through Rong Huaishen’s.

Watching the couple’s retreating figures, Meng Fan thought, Shen Zhiyao’s words really did work, just mentioning wanting to eat Dragon’s Beard Pastry, Rong Huaishen immediately agreed to accompany her to buy some.

He was a high and mighty CEO of a listed corporation, who was usually arrogant and aloof, but in private, he doted on the woman he loved to this extent, while Meng Fan, as the partner he often treated coldly, how could her heart taste anything but bitterness!

“Dragon’s Beard Pastry…” Meng Fan withdrew her gaze and murmured, “It’s actually my favorite.”

However, when she casually mentioned buying Dragon’s Beard Pastry in front of Rong Huaishen once, he looked at her with a complex gaze and said something baffling—just be yourself, there’s no need to copy everything.

It was only today that Meng Fan understood, Rong Huaishen’s words back then were to remind her not to mimic Shen Zhiyao’s liking for Dragon’s Beard Pastry.

If that was the case, then couldn’t she also say that Shen Zhiyao was copying her?!

Forget it, there’s no chance of that at all.

After all, Shen Zhiyao was the ‘white moonlight’.

Not far away, Rong Huaishen, holding the freshly bought Dragon’s Beard Pastry, tenderly handed it to Shen Zhiyao, “Your favorite Dragon’s Beard Pastry.”

Shen Zhiyao took the bag, opened it to take a look, and then took a strong sniff, her expression extremely satisfied, “Huaishen, thank you.”

After saying thanks, Shen Zhiyao freed one hand to reach for Rong Huaishen’s shoulder, taking the opportunity to look up and kiss his cheek.

Rong Huaishen instinctively dodged, and Shen Zhiyao missed.

She stiffened, feeling both disappointment and embarrassment, while Rong Huaishen’s gaze turned obscure as he gently pushed her away, saying, “Try the Dragon’s Beard Pastry first.”

The smile had vanished from Shen Zhiyao’s face, “Huaishen, when you left that year and settled me in Harbor City, I lived here alone for three years, waiting for you for three years.”

Rong Huaishen appeared to smile but not really, his eyes growing dim, “I know.”

Shen Zhiyao was full of jealousy, “You clearly love me, yet you don’t touch me, even when I initiate, you refuse.”

“Yaoyao,” Rong Huaishen looked at her intently.

Shen Zhiyao took a deep breath, feeling very unpleasant, “What about Meng Fan? Have you touched her? Are you together often?”

She was hinting at that aspect of their relationship.

No sooner had her words fallen when Rong Huaishen’s expression grew stern.

Shen Zhiyao saw the change in Rong Huaishen’s face, feeling somewhat frightened, she regretted asking such a blatant question in a moment of jealousy.

The man’s thin lips parted slightly, his voice colder, “Behave yourself, and I’ll come to see you often.”

Shen Zhiyao nodded obediently, “I won’t ask about such topics anymore.”

“Also,” Rong Huaishen added, “don’t provoke Meng Fan again, I’ve already sided with you just now, don’t overdo it.”

Shen Zhiyao tensed her entire face, resentment fleeting in her downcast eyes, “I understand.”

“Don’t you like Dragon’s Beard Pastry anymore?” Seeing that Shen Zhiyao hadn’t eaten any, Rong Huaishen asked again.

“I do like it, really,” Shen Zhiyao forced a smile, then took a piece from the bag and put it in her mouth.

The overly sweet taste spread through her mouth, and Shen Zhiyao wrinkled her eyebrows.

Noticing her reaction, Rong Huaishen asked, “Does it taste different than before?”

“It’s the same, very delicious, it’s my favorite, it always improves my mood every time I eat it.”

While uttering insincere words, Shen Zhiyao thought to herself, this is sickeningly sweet, how could Meng Fan love this? And that woman with the last name Wen from last night, she seemed to have a good relationship with Meng Fan, even daring to secretly photograph her?

If the information she got was correct, the woman surnamed Wen was currently missing in Bai City, and the police were searching for her. Yet, she appeared in Harbor City without a trace.

Since that Wen loves to meddle so much, just send her back to Bai City.

As for Meng Fan, she also needed to be taught a lesson to vent the frustration!

Thinking of this, a cold smile flickered across Shen Zhiyao’s eyes.

…

Inside the hotel.

Four police officers showed their badges and went directly upstairs to look for someone.

But at this moment, Wen Zhi had already left the hotel quietly with the help of Jian Yingqing, through the underground parking lot, accompanied by Meng Fan.

Shang Hexing didn’t receive any message. The incident happened suddenly. By the time he became aware of the situation, he was opening the door to look for Wen Zhi but instead came face to face with the police.

The first thing the police thought when they saw Shang Hexing was that he seemed familiar, but since they were on duty, after showing their badges, the officer took out a photo and asked, “Have you seen her?”

Shang Hexing’s gaze landed on the photo, his eyes growing sharp.

Chen Jinhai sensed trouble and rushed over. After taking a breath, he immediately explained Shang Hexing’s identity to the police.

Upon hearing this, the police officer had never imagined that the man before him was that figure from the upper echelons of Bai City.

Since it involved him, they had to report to the chief of police.

Shang Hexing left it to Chen Jinhai to handle and went back inside to call Meng Fan. After several attempts without an answer, Shang Hexing’s face grew extremely gloomy.

Meanwhile, Wen Zhi had already moved to another hotel, which was booked by Jian Yingqing. It was unknown how he managed it, but he somehow made it so only one ID card was registered.

Because Wen Zhi didn’t have her ID card, she couldn’t check in normally nor could she leave Harbor City easily.

“This Shen Zhiyao, I really underestimated her,” Meng Fan said, pacing back and forth in the room, angry.

Wen Zhi, on the other hand, was relatively calm, though her physical discomfort played a part.

“Don’t be fooled by her staying in Harbor City; she’s quite capable. She sends out alerts very quickly.” Meng Fan suddenly stopped in front of Wen Zhi and sighed, “Look at us, what a pair of troubled sisters we are.”

Wen Zhi looked at Meng Fan’s neck, “Does your neck still hurt?”

Meng Fan shook her head, “I don’t feel anything.”

Wen Zhi asked another question, “Will you tell Director Rong about what Shen Zhiyao did to you?”

“Hah, why tell him? I’d rather he knew nothing than to see him looking on with indifference. Besides, even if he knew, he would always unconditionally support Shen Zhiyao and blame me for everything.”

The scene last night where Rong Huaishen defended Shen Zhiyao had nearly become a thorn in Meng Fan’s heart.

It was the kind of barbed thorn that couldn’t be pulled out for a lifetime!

“But I hope Uncle won’t let her get away with it!” Meng Fan said again.

Wen Zhi was slightly stunned before she heard Meng Fan’s voice filled with indignant certainty, “Even if I can’t count on Rong to deal with Shen Zhiyao, I can certainly count on Uncle. She has crossed the line this time.”

Meng Fan was very sure of what she said.

Wen Zhi understood what Meng Fan was trying to convey, that if Shang Hexing cared about her, he would certainly deal with Shen Zhiyao.

“Maybe he will,” Wen Zhi didn’t deny it, but there was something she needed to expedite and take care of.

“Is your phone charged up?” Wen Zhi asked.

“Oh, let me check.” Meng Fan stood up to get her phone, “It’s been off due to low battery, probably needs a while to charge.”

She tapped the screen, saw the battery rise to 8%, and then Meng Fan directly turned on the phone.
