She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 440: Confrontation in Court

Lu Yi did what Shen Heyu wanted to do but dared not, so what right did Shen Heyu have to blame him?

Shen Heyu lowered her head, not saying another word, and Lu Yi knew she was tacitly approving his actions as he slowly stood up.

"You just encountered kidnappers and were frightened. Rest well when you get home today. Chen Wenzhou wants to see that you and Pei Yansi have completely severed ties, so for this last period, you mustn’t contact or meet with Pei Yansi, to avoid arousing the suspicions of the Chen family."

Lu Yi reminded Shen Heyu, and she nodded, indicating she had taken note.

After leaving the café, Lu Yi returned to the hospital. As he approached Pei Yansi’s hospital room, his steps suddenly halted because there were several other visitors inside.

Grandpa Chen, Chen Wenzhou, and Chen Lingmeng were all in Pei Yansi’s room.

Through the door, Lu Yi heard them discussing matters related to Shen Heyu, and he pricked up his ears to listen intently to their conversation.

"Brother Yansi, now you finally see Shen Heyu’s true colors. You risked your life to save her, yet she’s ungrateful and doesn’t recognize it. If you ask me, you shouldn’t have saved her yesterday; just let her die."

Chen Lingmeng triumphantly told Pei Yansi, as Chen Wenzhou had just called her to inform that Shen Heyu had cut off all ties, and there was no chance of them reconciling.

Thus, Chen Lingmeng had carefully dressed up to visit Pei Yansi, thinking this was the time when he was heartbroken, and if she could comfort him, she could successfully win over his heart.

But when she bad-mouthed Shen Heyu in front of Pei Yansi, he finally looked up at her with eyes sharp as swords materialized.

"Who gave you the right to speak ill of her?"

Even though Shen Heyu had said heartless things to Pei Yansi, he still did not want to hear anyone speak ill of her.

Chen Lingmeng, irritated, slapped the armrest of the wheelchair, "Brother Yansi, how can you be so blind? After how Shen Heyu treated you, you’re still defending her; I really feel it’s unworthy on your behalf."

"I don’t need you to feel unworthy for me. I didn’t invite you to visit, and please leave immediately."

Pei Yansi had already given them the eviction order; he did not want these troubling figures in his hospital room.

"Pei Yansi, how can you speak like this? Our Mengmeng is also worried that you were hurt by what Shen Heyu said, that’s why she thought of coming over to comfort you," Grandpa Chen couldn’t stand it any longer and furrowed his brow to remind Pei Yansi to mind his words.

"Shen Heyu has changed so suddenly; does this have something to do with you? Did you say things to her that you shouldn’t have?"

Pei Yansi scrutinized the people before him, feeling increasingly that something was not right.

Grandpa Chen, a veteran in worldly affairs, managed to keep his cool, maintaining an angry demeanor.

However, Chen Lingmeng was like a sieve, full of holes, worried Pei Yansi would see through her schemes, and unconsciously tightened her grip on the wheelchair armrests.

"Brother Yansi, why would you think that about us?"

Pei Yansi immediately looked toward Chen Lingmeng, her reaction very off. She was clearly showing guilt.

Pei Yansi wanted to get a clearer view of the emotions in Chen Lingmeng’s pupils, but Chen Wenzhou inconspicuously stepped forward, blocking his view of her.

"Pei Yansi, by saying that, you’re wrongly accusing good people. We haven’t said anything to Shen Heyu, and if you don’t believe it, you can call Shen Heyu right now to verify the situation."

Chen Wenzhou was confident that as long as Yuexue was in his hands, Shen Heyu would have no choice but to willingly become his puppet.

Hearing his suggestion, Pei Yansi instinctively fell silent.

Shen Heyu had just left not long ago, and her words still echoed in his ears; Shen Heyu didn’t want to have any involvement with him anymore. How could Pei Yansi possibly call to disturb her at this time?

Chen Wenzhou saw through Pei Yansi’s thoughts. He pulled out his phone, "If you don’t have the courage to confront Shen Heyu over the phone, then let me make the call for you."

The call had already been made, and Pei Yansi did not stop him.

The phone vibrated once, and the call was connected.

"What is it now?" Shen Heyu’s icy voice came through.

Chen Wenzhou was worried that this woman might not understand the situation here and could inadvertently slip up, exposing the fact that he had kidnapped Yuexue, so he preempted her.

"Mengmeng, Grandpa, and I are currently in Pei Yansi’s hospital room. He says that it was us who pressured you into saying those ruthless words to him. Now, we are here to confront you face-to-face."

Chen Wenzhou deliberately paused.

He smiled confidently, glancing at Pei Yansi and asked slowly, "Shen Heyu, now tell the truth in front of Chen Wenzhou. Did we pressure you?"

On the other side of the phone, Shen Heyu gripped her phone tightly, her heart felt as if it was being strangled by a thread, the pain making it hard for her to breathe.

Yuexue was in their hands; what could Shen Heyu dare not do if they asked her? Lu Yi was right about one thing for sure. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Even if Shen Heyu did as they said this time, facilitating Pei Yansi’s relationship with Chen Lingmeng, they wouldn’t easily return Yuexue to her because they had enjoyed manipulating Shen Heyu.

Shen Heyu took a deep breath, "No."

"If you’ve called just to tell me something so trivial, then I have things to do, I’m hanging up now."

Shen Heyu didn’t want to speak to Chen Wenzhou anymore, she hung up quickly and set her phone to silent mode.

Having heard the answer that satisfied him, Chen Wenzhou looked at Pei Yansi with a smile, "President Pei, now you can believe us, right? We didn’t do anything to Shen Heyu; you’ve really wronged innocent people this time."

"Since that’s the case, I’ll ask you to leave immediately. I need to rest." Hearing Shen Heyu’s response, Pei Yansi felt like he’d been stabbed in the heart.

This time he unsparingly drove the three members of the Chen family out.

Pei Yansi slowly settled down, closing his eyes to rest. Yet, he hadn’t been quiet for more than two seconds when the door to the hospital room was pushed open again, his brow furrowed in irritation.

"Didn’t I tell you to leave immediately?" Pei Yansi impatiently turned his head to look at the door.

"It’s me." Lu Yi pushed open the door and walked in, and even though Pei Yansi’s attitude toward him was poor, there were some things he had to clarify today.

"What are you doing here?" Pei Yansi didn’t welcome Lu Yi’s visit; his intuition told him that Lu Yi’s visit wasn’t for anything good.

"I have something very important to discuss with you." Lu Yi sat down on the sofa.
