Chapter 2
"In conclusion, the root of your problem now is not me. But you all choose to force me, just because it is the least costly option among all the options.
"After all these years, your circle is still playing the same game."
On the surface, it was all about feelings, but in fact, it was all about weighing the pros and cons.
I sighed, simply opened the car door, got out of the car, turned around, and bent in to look at Qin Ruyue in the car:
"Qin Ruyue, I saved Shen Ye because I’m kind-hearted and have good character. Shen Ye cheated on me and pestered me. It’s him repaying favor with revenge. Are you sure you want to spend the rest of your life with such a person? Besides, is marrying into the Shen Family and being a pampered Mrs. Shen what you want?"
Qin Ruyue frowned slightly. When her eyes swept over the scar on the back of my hand that was resting on the back of the chair, a trace of confusion flashed across her face: "You are..."
But I didn't give her time to reminisce. I smiled at her, crossed the road, and pulled Shen Ye out of the RLX.
The stage was returned to them.
At this time, my best friend Li Anan happened to ride a small electric scooter to pick me up after getting off work.
Seeing Shen Ye and Qin Ruyue standing in front of the car, she quickly pulled me onto the electric scooter, turned the handle to the max, and fled the scene at high speed.
Shen Ye looked at the direction I left, then looked at Qin Ruyue in front of him, and finally chose to stay.
"Did Shen Ye chase us?"
After the electric scooter drove into the community, Li Anan stopped the vehicle and looked back.
"He won't. After all, his legitimate fiancée is still there." I replied in a flat tone.
In that case, as long as he still cared about the marriage between the Shen and Qin families, he must first give an explanation to his legitimate fiancée.
Li Anan glanced at my expression and understood it instantly. She immediately expressed in indignation: "Damn, he has the nerve to come downstairs every day to show his affection. Fudge, it turns out that he wants to eat what's in the pot and take what's in the bowl! How shameless!"
I didn't respond, because Anan was right, Shen Ye was shameless.
"Then you are okay?" Li Anan asked with concern, "After all, in the past, you treated him..."
I smiled faintly: "I'm fine."
"If you had known he was such a scumbag, you should have left him at the door of the police station and left him alone! And you had rented a house just to take care of him."
When she reached my door, Anan couldn't help but fumed this out.
When I picked up Shen Ye, my first reaction was not to cause trouble and send him to the police station.
But perhaps because the identity of the Shen Family’s heir was kept secret too well, the police station couldn't find any clues for a while.
And Shen Yu had lost his memory and refused to let others approach him. He was only willing to follow me.
Thinking of my experience of being picked up by Aunt Jiang, I finally softened my heart and brought him back.
I also rented a place here with the money I saved from working.
In order to get a better deal, I paid two years' rent at once.
There were still three months of rent left.
In the evening, we went to the overpass to set up a stall.
Before we went out, Anan reminded me not to forget to take medicine.
During the period when Shen Ye just disappeared, I went to the police station to ask for information when I didn’t have classes and went to the place where he had an accident to look for him on weekends.
While at night, I couldn’t sleep all night. Not only did I lose more than 20 pounds, but my stomach end up having some problems.
Now I thought it was a bit laughable. I have been calculating people since I was a child, but I fell for Shen Ye’s ‘innocence’ when he lost his memory.
When we went downstairs, we encountered Shen Ye in the corridor.
I could roughly guess what he wanted to say. Finding it meaningless, I bypassed him with Anan.
But he reached out and grabbed my arm: "Zhizhi."
"Mr. Shen, please have some respect."
I looked back, my eyes were as cold as ice.
He looked a little stunned from it, as if he had not expected that I, who was always good-tempered, could have such a fierce side.
Still, he did not let go of my hand. Instead, he held it tighter.
"I have already made an agreement with Qin Ruyue that I will send you to Hong Kong. As long as you are not in Beijing, she will not bother you again."
"Shen Ye, do you know what you are saying? You want me to give up my studies and go to Hong Kong to be your mistress who is not allowed to see the light of day." I stood there, staring into his eyes.
Even if I knew how to control my emotions, I still felt an irrepressible rage in my heart at this moment.
"Zhizhi, don't talk like that." He said.
"Scram if you don't like to hear it." I clenched my palms, thinking back to the one and a half years I spent with him and my fingertips were shaking with anger.
Unexpectedly, he started to feel aggrieved: "Zhizhi, we have been through so much together. I know you have feelings for me. Don't throw tantrums like this."
I gritted my teeth and was about to speak, but Li Anan beside me could no longer endure it.
She threw the snakeskin bag she was using to sell food on the ground, pointed at Shen Ye's nose, and started to berate:
"Shen Ye, f*** you, you have the nerve to talk about love with Zhizhi! During the time you were missing, Zhizhi was so worried about you that her stomach was damaged and she lost a lot of weight.
"What the hell are you doing? Aren’t you getting engaged to the eldest miss of the Qin Family! A scumbag like you is not qualified to talk about love. Stop being disgusting!
"You still want Zhizhi to give up her studies and go to Hong Kong. Do you know how much Zhizhi has paid to go to B University?
"You know she is studying for a master's and a doctorate degree. Giving up now means all these years of study are in vain. You are going to ruin her years of hard work with just a few words? You stinky idiot!"
"Li Anan!" Shen Ye warned.
I blocked in front of Anan and looked directly at Shen Ye: "Shen Ye, I won't go to Hong Kong. Don't appear in my life anymore. Don't play your circle’s tricks of keeping a mistress in front of me. I feel disgusted."
But Shen Ye said: "Zhizhi, if you want to study, I can arrange the best school for you. If you go to Hong Kong, you can live a life that is countless times better than this."
