She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 421 A Hint of Disappointment

This time, Shen Heyu didn’t answer Pei Yansi’s question, she found an excuse to avoid being alone with Pei Yansi.

After the two had finished lunch amicably, Pei Yansi received a phone call, seemingly about company matters, and he had to leave.

Not long after he left, a familiar-looking luxury car stopped at the manor’s entrance, and Shen Heyu guessed who it might be.

Sure enough, as she walked downstairs, she saw Chen Lingmeng sitting in a wheelchair with a servant pushing it behind her as they entered the villa.

"Shen Heyu, you really have some nerve, showing your face here again. Have you forgotten how you were driven away in the first place?" Chen Lingmeng started targeting Shen Heyu with malice as soon as she saw her, her words sharp and unpleasant.

"I never asked how I left here in the past. It was my own decision to leave, not because anyone drove me out."

"And this time, it was Pei Yansi who personally invited me back. What about you? Were you invited by Pei Yansi? I don’t think so. You probably came here secretly while he was away, trying to make things difficult for me."

Shen Heyu stepped closer to Chen Lingmeng, looking down at her from above, her anger clearly visible on her delicately made-up face.

"Don’t be so pleased with yourself. Pei Yansi has long since abandoned you. He is preparing for our engagement party. I am his future, he belongs to me."

Chen Lingmeng, tense, gripped the armrests of her wheelchair. This slight gesture did not escape Shen Heyu’s eyes, and she smiled faintly.

"Miss Chen, let me kindly warn you. You can eat messily, but you shouldn’t speak carelessly. Just look up and you’ll see surveillance cameras everywhere. Did you know that these cameras can also record sound?"

After Shen Heyu reminded her, Chen Lingmeng looked up and indeed saw cameras all around. She clenched her teeth in humiliation.

"So what if there are cameras? I’m not afraid at all. I’m telling you, I am the future lady of this house. I want you out of here with all your trash within half an hour."

Chen Lingmeng raised her hand, pointing towards the door, her face pale with fury as she glared at Shen Heyu.

Shen Heyu slowly smiled, "No need for half an hour, I can leave in a minute. But kindly remember, Pei Yansi wanted me to stay here for three more days. If I leave early, Miss Chen, you’ll have to take responsibility for it."

"Since I’m the one causing this, I will certainly take responsibility. Now, get out immediately."

Shen Heyu exhaled a relieved breath. Chen Lingmeng, who had always liked to oppose and trouble her with difficult situations, had unexpectedly helped her by mistake.

Shen Heyu gave a faint smile to Chen Lingmeng, "Then, I thank Miss Chen for facilitating my departure from here."

"What do you mean? Are you mocking me? Who cares for your thanks, don’t think I don’t understand your intentions!"

Chen Lingmeng thought Shen Heyu’s thanks were sarcastic; she angrily yelled after Shen Heyu’s retreating figure.

Shen Heyu paused in her steps, heard her words, but did not turn around or respond, just continued walking out of the villa.

After Shen Heyu left, she immediately went to find Lu Yi.

She and Pei Yansi had left this day, and Lu Yi had been staying in a five-star suite.

When Shen Heyu arrived at the five-star suite where Lu Yi was staying, the moment she used her room key to open the door, a strong smell of alcohol hit her face, making her frown. Could it be that Lu Yi had been drinking again, despite her warnings?

Following the strong scent of alcohol, she walked towards the balcony.

When she reached the balcony, she couldn’t help but stop in surprise, as Lu Yi was sitting disheveled on the floor, surrounded by empty bottles. He was just about to take another drink when he saw Shen Heyu and froze.

He tugged at his mouth, letting out a few self-mocking laughs.

"The sun hasn’t even set yet. How am I seeing hallucinations? Heyu couldn’t possibly be here because she won’t be back for another three days."

Lu Yi was nearly drunk as he looked at Shen Heyu with a bitter yet blissful smile. Then he leaned back to drink from the bottle, but Shen Heyu quickly grabbed the bottle out of his hand.

After Shen Heyu took the bottle away, Lu Yi, who was sitting on the ground, paused momentarily, looking at his empty palm where the bottle had been before. Realizing what had happened, he frantically scrambled to his feet.

"Heyu, I must be dreaming, right? You’re really here in front of me!"

Lu Yi couldn’t believe what he was seeing, thinking he was just confused from drinking. He slapped himself in the face, and when he truly felt the pain, he blinked his eyes only to see that Shen Heyu hadn’t disappeared with the wind.

"Heyu, you’ve really come back! I’m so happy."

Lu Yi was so overjoyed that he didn’t know what to say; he spread his arms and embraced Shen Heyu. The moment he held her, her body stiffened for a second.

But she quickly frowned and pushed him away, examining him from head to toe.

"Lu Yi, didn’t you promise me that you wouldn’t drink so much alcohol? It’s still daylight. Explain to me what’s going on with all these bottles on the balcony."

Shen Heyu looked discontentedly at the bottles on the ground, seeing at least twenties or thirties beer cans, not knowing when he had drunk them.

Lu Yi, feeling somewhat embarrassed, scratched his head.

"Heyu, I’m sorry. I had promised you I wouldn’t drink so much, but every time I thought of you by Pei Yansi’s side, I felt sad. The sadness made my heart hurt, so I could only drink to numb my heart and distract myself."

"Don’t you know that drinking too much harms your health? And didn’t I tell you? I’d be back in just three days. What was the need to torment yourself like this?"

A flicker of disappointment passed through Shen Heyu’s eyes. She sighed, and Lu Yi, noticing her sigh, frantically picked up his cellphone to call the front desk.

"Heyu, please don’t be mad, okay? I’ll call housekeeping right now to clean up these bottles, and I’ll never drink so much again."

"This morning on the phone, you promised me the same thing. And what happened? It’s only the afternoon and you’ve already drunk so much."

Shen Heyu sighed again and, no longer wanting to see the bottles on the balcony, went back to the room. After Lu Yi finished his call, he immediately followed Shen Heyu inside and took the initiative to pour her a glass of water.

"I really know I was wrong. Please don’t be mad, okay? Have some water to calm down."
