She Asks for a Divorce Again

Chapter 487: Chapter 487: How to Repay Him

Shen Heyu glanced at her phone and saw that it was a call from Pei Yansi. She slammed on the brakes by the roadside, her brows furrowed as she looked at the vibrating cell phone, unable to decide whether to answer this call or not.

She didn’t know what Pei Yansi would say this time, but Shen Heyu always felt that it wouldn’t be anything good.

Not far from her car, Pei Yansi held his phone to his ear and took step after step toward Shen Heyu’s car. The call went unanswered, so Pei Yansi quickly dialed another number.

Shen Heyu’s hands tightened on the steering wheel. She could run for the moment but not forever, letting the phone vibrate incessantly was no solution either.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Heyu seemed to be psyching herself up, as she picked up the phone next to her and quickly swiped to answer the call. She wanted to see what Pei Yansi could possibly want from her.

"What do you want now? I told you, I have nothing to say to you," Shen Heyu coolly informed the person on the other end of the phone.

"Come on, we’ve at least had a lip friendship. How can you turn on me so quickly?"

Upon hearing his words, Shen Heyu’s grip on her phone intensified, and she enunciated her words with added force.

"Spit it out. If you have nothing else, I’m hanging up."

"I have some good news and some bad news for you. Which one would you like to hear first?"

Lu Yi gave Shen Heyu a choice to make. Frowning, she couldn’t help but think that Pei Yansi’s good news might not necessarily be good news for her.

Similarly, what he considered bad news might not necessarily be bad news for Shen Heyu.

"What’s the bad news?"

"Our kissing scene in the elevator was secretly filmed and uploaded onto the internet."

"What!" Shen Heyu almost shouted out in shock.

She quickly unbuckled her seatbelt. Such important news, why had he waited until now to tell her? If it blew up, there was no telling how Chen Wenzhou would use Yuexue to deal with Shen Heyu.

Shen Heyu didn’t want Yuexue to get hurt, so she had to handle this matter seriously. She absolutely couldn’t let Chen Wenzhou hear about it.

When Pei Yansi had suddenly kissed her, Shen Heyu’s mind went blank. She couldn’t care about anything else and just pushed him away and left, without noticing someone secretly using their phone to capture the moment.

There were surveillance cameras by the elevator. If she went back now to check the surveillance, perhaps she could identify who took the photos and trace it back to the culprit and make them delete the image and post.

But with the internet having spread the photo online, even if she managed to remove the source, it’d be hard to say whether someone had already screenshotted or saved the photo.

Shen Heyu felt a headache coming on. She hit the steering wheel hard. She was so frustrated and anxious, yet Pei Yansi seemed nonchalant on the other end as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Mr. Pei, you surely can’t stay out of this matter. Your wedding with the Chen family is just around the corner. If this gets out now, I doubt you would be able to explain it to the Chen family. Therefore, my suggestion is that you should take action and resolve this matter completely."

With Shen Heyu’s own influence, it was unlikely she could settle the matter completely—Pei Yansi stepping in would be the best outcome.

"Miss Shen, shouldn’t you let me finish speaking? There’s good news you haven’t heard."

With such an incident occurring, what good news could there be? Shen Heyu furrowed her brow and asked, "What good news?"

Shen Heyu listened intently to the person across, but just at that moment, Pei Yansi had already walked up to her car and raised his hand to knock on the window glass.

Hearing the noise, Shen Heyu turned her head and saw Pei Yansi’s incomparably handsome face.

Shen Heyu, with a furrowed brow, opened the car door, stepped out, and stood in front of Pei Yansi. Bathed in sunlight, Shen Heyu’s chilly body slowly warmed.

"The good news is that I’ve smoothed over the matter. Miss Shen, don’t you owe me a favor? How do you plan to repay me?"

Shen Heyu did not relax her brows upon hearing this, but instead furrowed them even more; he always seemed to speak only half of what he meant.

"Since you’ve smoothed it over, why didn’t you just finish what you were saying at once, instead of enjoying seeing others anxious and worried?"

"Besides, why should I thank or repay you for this? You couldn’t remain uninvolved; it was something you were supposed to do. Doing so was beneficial for both you and me, but I don’t owe you anything."

"Don’t forget, if you hadn’t suddenly made that move earlier, you wouldn’t have been photographed, and the pictures wouldn’t have been put online, almost causing a huge disaster."

Shen Heyu looked at Pei Yansi with a cold and calm gaze.

Shen Heyu was not buying what Pei Yansi had done.

"To be frank with you, according to my wishes, I would have preferred this incident to become as big as possible. I suppressed the news just to save you trouble. If Miss Shen doesn’t want to thank me, then forget it; this time I’ll just consider it my own misunderstanding," he said.

Shen Heyu bit her lip slightly. What did Pei Yansi mean by that?

Was he implying that if she didn’t comply with his wishes, he might allow the incident to blow up online?

Taking a deep breath, Shen Heyu realized that there was no need to be angry with Pei Yansi at such a time. For the sake of the bigger picture, for the safety of Yuexue’s life, Shen Heyu had to force herself to squeeze out a smile and thank Pei Yansi.

"Mr. Pei, thank you for lending a hand."

"Shen Heyu, do you always just offer verbal thanks? Isn’t there any actual action?" Pei Yansi, upon finally being thanked by Shen Heyu, was in high spirits, but he overstepped.

Shen Heyu’s hand hanging by her side slowly clenched into a fist. What did Pei Yansi mean by that?

"How then do you want me to apologize?" Shen Heyu asked Pei Yansi.

"Get back with me."

"Dream on! When did Pei Xingchen become someone so forgetful, are you a goldfish? Do you only have a seven-second memory? Didn’t I tell you I’ve already registered my marriage with Lu Yi?" Shen Heyu lifted her hand, showing Pei Yansi the wedding ring on her ring finger.

Pei Yansi had been in a good mood, but upon seeing that glittering diamond ring, his brows abruptly knit together, and even his complexion turned icy.

"So what if you’re wearing that ring on your finger? The ring can be taken off, and if you’re unwilling to remove it, I can help you take it off." The implication was clear: Pei Yansi could use some means to turn her marriage to Lu Yi into a mere scrap of paper.

"Mr. Pei, please show some self-respect and refrain from doing things you shouldn’t do."
