She Asks for a Divorce Again
Chapter 328 Surveillance

Chapter 328: Chapter 328 Surveillance

Shen Heyu spoke succinctly and then left for good.

Pei Yansi watched her departing figure, feeling an indescribable mix of emotions—yet he had to admit, the pleasure certainly outweighed the sorrow at that moment. He took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and looking out the car window at the snowy landscape, he said to Zhao Jin,

"Do you think after today, she’ll be obedient and stay by my side?"

Zhao Jin hadn’t expected him to suddenly speak to him, let alone ask such a life-threatening question. He wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead but still didn’t know how to answer,

Pei Yansi didn’t hear a response and exhaled a ring of smoke, "I remember you said that a bold pursuit was necessary for her to understand one’s intentions. I did as you said, but it led to nothing. Now I’m asking you, and you don’t even dare to speak?"

Zhao Jin was terrified by his words, the imposing figure sitting in the driver’s seat began to tremble slightly as he said, "President Pei, this approach varies from person to person. Miss Shen doesn’t fall for this, I really don’t know..."

He quietly observed Pei Yansi’s expression through the rearview mirror, scared that he might truly blame himself for this. It wasn’t his fault that Shen Heyu wasn’t receptive to his advances, was it?

Pei Yansi glanced at him through the rearview mirror, and their gazes inadvertently met. Zhao Jin quickly lowered his head, not daring to look again.

With a cigarette between his fingertips, Pei Yansi flicked the ash lightly and looked out the window at the passersby, saying, "So, I should just do it my way, and forcibly keep her by my side, regardless of whether she agrees or not."

"That’s the best method." It was also the most direct. Pei Yansi coldly looked in the direction Shen Heyu had left. He always knew that with women like her, different methods had to be used.

Shen Heyu had already entered Lu’s Villa.

The housekeeper saw her and hurried over, "Miss Shen is here," her tone was very enthusiastic, and she approached with a cheerful smile, "Are you here to see Miss Lu?"

As Shen Heyu visited often, the housekeeper recognized her and was very familiar with her.

Shen Heyu nodded, "Is she in?"

The housekeeper answered and called out from upstairs. Shen Heyu said, "I’ll go find her myself."

The housekeeper nodded with a smile.

Shen Heyu, knowing the way well, went upstairs and quickly arrived at Lu Yunlan’s room.

Lu Yunlan hadn’t even gotten up yet and was lying in bed scrolling through her phone. She thought it was Chen Wenzhou coming to see her, but when she turned around, she saw Shen Heyu.

Surprised, she laughed, jumped out of bed, and grabbed Shen Heyu’s arm, chattering excitedly, "What brings you here?"

In the cafe, after Pei Yansi took her away, she thought that given his personality, seeing Heyu again would be nearly impossible.

Yet, here she was, looking for her so soon.

Lu Yunlan added, "How could he let you go? Is everything okay between you two?"

Shen Heyu nodded, aware that she was concerned for her safety; she felt an inexplicable bitterness in her heart.

She pushed down all her feelings and said to Lu Yunlan, "I need your help with something."

Lu Yunlan furrowed her brows; Shen Heyu rarely asked for her help, and when she did, it was inevitably a difficult situation. Anxiety laced her voice as she asked, "Just tell me, what is it?"

"I know your family owns a bar, and I need to obtain surveillance footage from many years ago."

"How many years are we talking about?" Lu Yunlan gave her a glance and led her to the sofa beside them, pouring her a cup of hot water.

Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "Is it about something to do with Shen Fanshuang?"

Shen Heyu nodded and without denying it said, "I have found some key evidence that might uncover the truth of what happened back then and clear my name."

Lu Yunlan let out a sigh of relief, thinking it was going to be something serious, she hadn’t expected it to be just about retrieving some surveillance footage. She quickly said, "That’s easy. Just give me the date, and I’ll have them send the footage over to you."

Over the years, Shen Heyu had always been carrying the stigma of hurting Shen Fanshuang, and Lu Yunlan had seen it all, so of course, she was more than willing to help her clear her name if there was a chance today.

Shen Heyu gave her a time frame.

She took out her mobile phone, made a call, said something to the other end, and within two seconds, she hung up, then told her, "They’ll send it over soon."

Shen Heyu nodded, thanked Lu Yunlan, and the latter chuckled and said, "After all we’ve been through, you still thank me?"

Shen Heyu pursed her lips awkwardly. She felt a little uneasy. Approaching the truth was something she had wanted to do for so many years, but now that she was actually getting close, she felt an increasing trepidation, a kind of fear like that of being homesick bubbling up in her heart.

Lu Yunlan seemed to notice the turmoil in her heart. She took Shen Heyu’s hand and patted it reassuringly, "Don’t worry too much, I’m here for you."

Shen Heyu smiled at her.

They hadn’t waited long in the villa when they had started to talk about Lu Yi and Chen Lingmeng’s wedding and had barely gotten started when someone knocked on the door.

Both turned their heads to see that the person standing outside Lu Yunlan’s room was not someone from the company, but Chen Wenzhou.

Lu Yunlan was taken aback for a moment, then shot Chen Wenzhou a look, saying, "What are you doing here?" in a tone that could not hide her irritation. She walked toward him, taking a roll of tape from his hands.

Chen Wenzhou chuckled, his eyes full of temperament and doting, "I wanted to see you, can’t I come?"

Lu Yunlan said, "I didn’t agree to let you come, now you can leave."

"I was discussing cooperation with the Lu family, and I overheard your phone call, so I thought I’d bring this over for you," Chen Wenzhou was unwilling to leave, standing at the doorway he said, "I ran an errand for you, and there’s not even a glass of hot water for me, just straight-up asking me to leave?"

Lu Yunlan handed the tape to Shen Heyu, who was sitting on the sofa, and turned back to him, "I didn’t ask you to run an errand."

Chen Wenzhou didn’t know what to say, but he genuinely wanted to see Lu Yunlan and to spend time alone with her, so he said, "I’ll take you out to lunch."

"I’m not going."

"Miss," he persisted, yet without stepping into her room uninvited, and said from the doorway, "Would you please join me for lunch?"

His tone was filled with doting for Lu Yunlan.

She smiled a bit, "Seeing how sincere you are, I agree. But I’m bringing Heyu with me."

Shen Heyu, hearing this, looked up at the two. Meeting Chen Wenzhou’s unhappy gaze reminded her of the last time she was taken away from the coffee shop by Pei Yansi. She recalled that this man did not want her to join them.

But when she turned her head, she saw the hopeful look in Lu Yunlan’s eyes.
