She Asks for a Divorce Again
Chapter 295 Useless

Chapter 295: Chapter 295 Useless

Shen Heyu had always looked at him that way, knowing that he was on the brink of fury, but she didn’t know how to compromise with him.

How long would this silent compromise last, and when would it end?

Seeing that she still hadn’t moved, Pei Yansi took the initiative to walk upstairs.

When passing by Lu Yi, however, he was grabbed by him.

Pei Yansi turned his head, staring deeply at Lu Yi with an unfriendly gaze.

Lu Yi also stared back unfriendly and said, "I will not let you take Shen Heyu away."

Pei Yansi heard this as a huge joke and couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

He quietly watched Lu Yi, his gaze gradually turning calm. Beneath this calm, however, a stormy tempest was hidden.

"Do you know what you are talking about?"

Lu Yi nodded, his gaze resolute.

"But I think, Doctor Lu might have forgotten an important fact—she is my wife."

This statement from Pei Yansi made everyone present feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. Shen Heyu was his wife, what right did he have to forcibly keep her?

Perhaps those in the know were aware that he was only trying to help her, but at the legal level, it wasn’t the same relationship.

Shen Heyu also realized the difficulty of this situation. The men weren’t lacking the courage to confront Pei Yansi; it was rather that Pei Yansi refused to set her free. As long as their marriage certificate existed, no matter where she went, she would be labeled as Pei Yansi’s.

It would be incredibly easy for him to grab hold of her again.

Shen Heyu quickly understood this point. Watching the two men downstairs in an intense standoff, she finally clenched her fists, made up her mind, and said, "Doctor Lu, let’s stop here."

As her words fell, the tense atmosphere between the two men downstairs suddenly loosened.

Pei Yansi released Lu Yi, looked up at Shen Heyu, and quietly stood there waiting for her move.

Shen Heyu took a step, preparing to go downstairs to Pei Yansi’s side.

Having moved just one step, her wrist was caught by Lu Yunlan nearby. She turned back, meeting Lu Yunlan’s worried eyes, "Heyu, don’t go."

She shook her head at her.

The grip on her wrist was also firm, clearly showing her sympathy for her situation and how much she didn’t want her to go to Pei Yansi.

Shen Heyu quietly looked at Lu Yunlan for a few seconds, knowing she was truly worried about her. However, she was more aware that it was because of their concern that she could not put them in jeopardy due to her own selfishness.

Pei Yansi had not come here tonight empty-handed.

He had indeed prepared everything in advance.

If she disobeyed, the first ones he would target would be the Lu siblings.

Shen Heyu gave Lu Yunlan a slight smile, signaling her not to worry.

Then, she walked downstairs and stood next to Pei Yansi, slightly tilting her head up, her clear eyes fixated on him, with a hint of red at the corners of her eyes, "I’ll go back with you."

Pei Yansi wore a smirk that seemed neither here nor there, he leaned down, and in front of Lu Yi, he pecked the corner of Shen Heyu’s mouth.

"I know you’re obedient, and since you’ve been so good tonight, of course, I will reward you well."

His words were laden with innuendo, a reward unlike any other.

Shen Heyu heard this, her body visibly shuddering, her hands hanging by her sides clenched tightly into fists.

She remained silent, her head inching lower and lower. She felt she couldn’t face Lu Yi.

Lu Yi watched the two of them, well aware of the hidden agendas in Pei Yansi’s words. However, he realized that he had no power to change anything or help her.

They were legally married.

Pei Yansi gave Lu Yi one last deep look, a victorious smile on his face, then took Shen Heyu’s hand and left Lu’s Villa.

After they left, the vast villa fell into silence; in the darkness of night, it seemed somewhat terrifying.

Lu Yi watched their car drive away, leaning against the stair railing, motionless.

Lu Yunlan was still upstairs; seeing his response, she knew he was suffering inside.

She came down and tugged at his sleeve, "Brother, go rest."

Lu Yi didn’t move. He stared into the vast darkness outside, a wave of helplessness surged in his heart, and he despondently asked, "Am I very useless?"

Lu Yunlan frowned, "This isn’t about you; it’s Pei Yansi being despicable."

Lu Yi shook his head and gave a self-mocking laugh, "If I had that ability, if I were more ruthless than him, I could steal Shen Heyu from his side. I could stop this forced marriage and really help her."

But he couldn’t.

He could only watch as the woman he loved was forcibly taken away by Pei Yansi. And before leaving, the rewarding words Pei Yansi had said were like needles piercing his ears; he felt his eardrums ache.

He certainly knew what Shen Heyu would face tonight.

He didn’t speak again, turned, and went upstairs, ignoring Lu Yunlan’s extended hand that wanted to help him.

Lu Yunlan stood in place, watching her brother’s defeated silhouette, and sighed deeply. Perhaps Shen Heyu was right, rather than letting him continue wasting worthless time on her, it was better to let him find a true suitable match quickly.

Like now, with the Chen Family wanting to intermarry. Chen Lingmeng was suitable enough, and a good match for him.

Lu Yunlan thought about this, having an idea in mind. To get her brother to accept Chen Lingmeng, Shen Heyu’s help would definitely be necessary to boost the process.

Otherwise, Lu Yi really wouldn’t concede to such a marriage alliance.

But with Shen Heyu’s intervention, it would be different.

Lu Yunlan calculated these things in her mind, planning to contact her tomorrow.

Shen Heyu was dragged onto the car by Pei Yansi. Just as she sat down, her body still unstable, she was forcefully pulled over and crashed into Pei Yansi’s chest.

Her forehead hit his hard chest, causing tears to spring from the pain. Before she could speak, her chin was lifted by the man, forcing her to meet his eyes.

He stared at her quietly, "You’ve grown bold, grown wings. You dare to go home with another man right in front of me, Shen Heyu, do you think I, Pei Yansi, am dead?"

Shen Heyu saw his furious eyes but didn’t speak; instead, she turned her gaze away, avoiding his.

Such an action made Pei Yansi even angrier as it appeared to him that she was wrong and didn’t dare to face him directly.

Her avoidance only made Pei Yansi more infuriated. He wanted her to apologize, explain, and promise that she would never go home with other men again.

Even if she merely softened towards him without apologizing, he would surely have softened and calmed down.

But why wouldn’t this woman bow before him? Was it that difficult?

The more he thought, the angrier he became, his eyes darkening. He coldly said, "The Doctor Lu you love most is about to get engaged to Chen Lingmeng. You know about that, don’t you?"

Shen Heyu heard his words and couldn’t help frowning, "Watch your tone."
