“Why is it you?” Shen Heyu spoke, her face brimming with rejection, nearly ready to write “I don’t want to see you” across her forehead.
Yansi’s heart was pricked by her gaze, and it pained him. He suppressed the rage and malice bubbling up inside him, sat opposite her, and said, “I came personally to discuss business, isn’t that making it easier for you to successfully sign this project?”
“I told you I wanted to rely on myself.”
Shen Heyu frowned, giving him no face whatsoever.
Yansi said nothing, took the menu handed over by the server, and ordered several dishes that Shen Heyu liked. He then passed the menu to Shen Heyu, “See if there is anything else you’d like to add.”
As long as Shen Heyu was sitting with him, she had no appetite whatsoever, let alone ordering food.
No matter what, she definitely couldn’t eat.
She didn’t respond and simply handed back the menu to the server.
After the server left, Shen Heyu knew that Yansi had come, and of course, there was no possibility of letting the marketing director talk to her; after all, he was the boss of the project party.
More convenient and straightforward.
She took out the business project document she had prepared in advance and, with a businesslike tone, pushed the document towards Yansi, saying, “This is Shen Group’s sincerity. As long as Pei Family agrees to cooperate, afterward they are willing to give up thirty percent of the points.”
Although Shen Group didn’t do much business domestically, its foreign operations generated significant revenue, so giving up thirty points was quite substantial.
This was enough to demonstrate Shen Group’s sincerity.
Shen Heyu was well aware that such cooperation was something Yansi would not refuse. She understood him very well, a businessman motivated solely by profit. That’s why she had said from the start that she wanted to rely on her own efforts.
She knew he would agree.
But unexpectedly, he did not even glance at the document, simply collected it and placed it aside, saying, “Let’s not talk about work first.”
His tone was casual, revealing no emotion.
Shen Heyu furrowed her brows and said, “President Pei, the purpose of this meal is precisely for business.”
Yansi said, “Regardless, I will take this project, and that thirty percent—it will all be yours.”
What did that mean?
Shen Heyu was a bit confused by his thought process. Thirty percent of Shen Group’s shares, yearly profits calculable in billions, and he was just giving the company’s earnings to her?

Gazing back into her puzzled eyes, Yansi said solemnly, “No reason. You are Yuexue’s mother, this little thing is nothing for you.”
“After we remarry, the entire Pei Family will be yours.”
Shen Heyu said, “Who wants to remarry you?”
“Are you sure?”
While speaking, Yansi laid out a photo he had just discovered in front of her, “Explain this, the origin of this photo.”
Shen Heyu looked down, originally not wanting to engage with him, oblivious of the photo he presented. She certainly wouldn’t compromise.
But when she clearly saw the content, she was momentarily stunned.
Yansi, watching her all the while, noticed her abnormal reaction at that moment. As expected, she had thoughts about him long before she admitted it to herself.
Then why did what she tell him and Fanshuang differ?
Shen Heyu said, “I don’t know what this is.” She feigned ignorance.
Pei Yansi smiled slightly, leaned back, and reclined in his chair, his relaxed gaze fixed intently on her, “Are you sure? Have you looked at the back of the photo?”
Shen Heyu knew what was written on the back without looking.
It was from her college days, all her feelings for him, in that shirt’s gift box, wanting to explain everything to him, but she hadn’t had the chance to clarify.
Pei Yansi told her, “After I went back, I looked for the shirt you mentioned and found this inside.”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly sat upright, shifted his chair closer to Shen Heyu, and leaned toward her. They were so close that just a little further, and he could have kissed her.
He clearly saw the panic in her eyes.
“So, you started having thoughts about me during my sophomore year?”
Shen Heyu closed her eyes, knowing she couldn’t avoid it any longer, and decided not to lie.
She admitted directly, “What about it? What do you want to do? Surely you can’t travel back in time to make me stop liking you?”
Pei Yansi scoffed, “I want to ask you why.”
He had never had any connection with her before and didn’t even know her, although he had many admirers from his younger school years, but those were all started by his good looks.
And she had kept this photo until now, even putting it in a gift box for him, it certainly wasn’t a simple, superficial crush.
There must be some connection that made her so fixated on him.
Shen Heyu looked at him, finding now that facing things frankly was actually more relaxing than worrying about this and that.
She said, “Even if I tell you, would you believe me?”
“I would,” he replied without hesitation, as if he was prepared to believe her no matter what she said.
Shen Heyu said, “Once, my dad lost again in gambling and came to ask me for money. At that time, I was working part-time as a waitress in a bar, and you helped me.”
“Is that why?” Pei Yansi asked back.
“Just that.”
She still remembered, her family was very poor then, her father’s gambling worsened their already dire finances.
Her mother remarried as a result and stopped caring for them.
She struggled to live with her younger sister Shen Fanshuang and also protected Fanshuang under her wing as she grew up.
Over time, Fanshuang became timid, shy, and fearful.
During college, to earn more tuition for both of them and to support Fanshuang’s dream of studying art, she was in desperate need of money and took the job at the bar.
She did have other options, but the bar paid more, so she chose it.
Unexpectedly, Fanshuang told their father about the job, and knowing there was money to be had, he came to get money from her to continue gambling.
Shen Heyu refused to give him the money, and they argued. The next day, he brought some thugs from the streets intending to harass her to extort protection money.
When she refused, they beat her up mercilessly, as her father showed no mercy.
Of course, the thugs weren’t gentle either. She fled the bar, running towards the university but was still caught.
At that time, the leader grabbed her hair, a malicious smile on his lips, “Little sister, keep running! Weren’t you good at running? Run another for brother to see?”
