Chapter 314: Chapter 314 Emotional Card

Fortunately, she did not hesitate for too long.

After Pei Yansi loosened his control over her, she walked over to Shen Jiangli and said, "Follow me."

Shen Jiangli nodded and quickly followed her pace.

Pei Yansi watched the two figures recede, squinted his eyes, and signaled Zhao Jin with a glance.

The two left Pei Yansi’s office and went to the rooftop of the Pei Building.

It was still winter, and isolated snowflakes fluttered down from the sky. Standing on the high rooftop allowed one to see the snowflakes falling from the heavens, one after another.

A fair amount of snow had accumulated in Shen Heyu’s long hair, and when Shen Jiangli saw it, he reached out to shield her head with his hand.

Those pristine snowflakes could no longer fall into Shen Heyu’s hair.

Watching this scene, Shen Heyu suddenly thought of Pei Yansi.

The last time they were abroad, it was snowing just like now. As she and he walked down the road, reaching the hotel, their hair tips were full of the white flakes. For a moment, she even harbored the illusion of growing old together with him.

As she was reflecting, Shen Jiangli’s voice suddenly rang beside her ear, interrupting her thoughts, "About what happened last time in Jiang City, I want to sincerely apologize to you. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, I was just momentarily bewitched by you..."

"There’s no need to say all that," Shen Heyu interrupted him, saying, "What happened has already happened, and it won’t change just because you apologize. What do you want to say to me? Take your chance now, I’m only giving you 30 minutes."

As Shen Heyu spoke, she took out her phone and opened the timer app.

Shen Jiangli glanced at it.

He said, "If it’s only 30 minutes..."

Why would she even agree?

She knew very well that 30 minutes wouldn’t be enough for him, yet it seemed like she had guessed what he wanted to say. She cut him off, stating,

"You should be clear that the half-hour now is all because of the six years we’ve had," Shen Heyu’s voice was icy, and her gaze at him was devoid of warmth, "Otherwise, after what you did to me, I wouldn’t even see you today."

Shen Jiangli, hearing her words, subconsciously lowered his head in shame.

"Heyu, you should know my feelings for you are not ordinary," he began a lengthy apology and reflection, revealing his thoughts about her over the years, even exaggerating some details.

With a deeply affectionate manner, he was all the more moving as he spoke, especially with those passionate eyes gazing at Shen Heyu, he made one want to believe him involuntarily.

He said a lot, and finally, he slowly expressed, "I know no matter what I say it’s my fault, and I don’t ask for much from you. I just hope that you can forgive me and give me another chance, and that we can continue being good friends in the future..."

Listening to him, Shen Heyu felt so disgusted she wanted to vomit. She remained aloof without giving any response.

Shen Jiangli, noticing her indifference, realized how much she disliked him at the moment, and it was clear that not a single good word would reach her. Thus, he got straight to the point, saying,

"If you are unwilling, I won’t force you, but I hope before our friendship ends, I can receive your help one last time."

As he spoke, he looked deeply into Shen Heyu’s eyes, his own clearly bearing the four characters for emotional blackmail.

"I never thought you’d use our six years of friendship as leverage to blackmail me," Shen Heyu scoffed coldly, feeling a chill gradually seep through her heart. She said, "Tell me what you want me to do for you,"

If this last favor could pay back the support he had given her during those six years...

After this, there would be no further contact between them. Then, perhaps it wasn’t impossible.

But the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her six-year friendship with him was nothing but a disgrace and a joke. The whole foundation had been laid just for today’s exploitation. So how much of his kindness during those years was genuine?

Shen Heyu didn’t even dare to think about it.

She looked at the falling snow in the sky, feeling colder by the inch. She didn’t understand how a former good friend could have come to such a pass.

Shen Jiangli looked at her profile, knowing what she was thinking, but the current state of the company left no room for personal feelings.

He lowered his head, his voice somewhat discouraged as he said, "The company’s situation is bad. I know Pei Yan values you, I hope you..."

"Want me to speak to him on your behalf, right?"

Shen Heyu once again interrupted him. She turned her head, gazing at Shen Jiangli with a hint of sarcasm, "Why would he do that? I don’t believe you don’t know. You think I, as the victim, would stop something like this?"

"I’ve already apologized for that incident."

"If apologies really worked, we wouldn’t have reached this point between us," Shen Heyu pressed on, not giving Pei Yan any room to interject.

In the past, Pei Yan targeted Lu Yi because he was jealous and wanted to snatch her away from Lu Yi. But the truth was, she had nothing with Lu Yi.

She simply felt that Lu Yi shouldn’t have to pay for something that never happened, which is why she brought up the matter with Pei Yan on his behalf.

But what about Shen Jiangli now?

He clearly had hurt her, yet he wanted her to plead for him with Pei Yan, which would only serve to leave a thorn in her heart and make Pei Yan resent him even more.

Not to mention, Pei Yan would surely become insanely jealous and, in his anger, take out the results of these events on her. By then, she would be the one tormented again and again in bed by him.

"I will not agree to this."

Shen Jiangli said nothing more.

He quietly looked at Shen Heyu, his eyes unclear of emotion but with an air of dejection surrounding him. His expressionless face grew more obscured by the heavier falling snow.

A cold wind blew, causing Shen Heyu to shiver. She really didn’t want to waste any more time at such a place with someone who didn’t matter.

She said to him, "Apart from this matter, I can agree to anything else. It will be the final repayment for your care over the past six years, and from now on, there will be no relation between you and me. If you still are not clear on what help you need, then let’s table this discussion. Today it ends here. Goodbye."

After she finished speaking, she coldly turned to leave. As she passed by him, her wrist was forcefully grasped by the man.

She turned back, meeting his increasingly dark and cold eyes, and heard his voice, deep and earnest, "In that case, I want you to leave this place with me and stay by my side forever."

"Are you out of your mind?"

Shen Heyu was startled by his outrageous statement and fiercely shook off his hand.

Yet he did not budge.
