 "Is it really appropriate for you to speak to your ex-girlfriend like this? You know very well what Chen Lingmeng’s feelings for you are. If she finds out that we are still entangled ambiguously, she definitely won’t spare me or Yuexue."
 Pei Yansi fell silent after hearing Shen Heyu’s words.
 "You know why I agreed to the engagement ceremony," Pei Yansi looked into Shen Heyu’s eyes; he had never betrayed her, and she had always been the only one in his heart.
 Shen Heyu tugged at the corner of his mouth, wanting to smile, but he couldn’t.
 "Of course I know it was to gain their trust and obtain some critical evidence."
 "But I want to remind you of one thing. Although you know very well that this engagement is just a play, the other participants don’t see it simply as acting."
 Shen Heyu said this because he was reminded of Lu Yi, who had put on a performance for her in the past to completely crush Pei Yansi’s hopes.
 And it was that performance that allowed her to see Lu Yi’s true colors, and she was utterly disappointed in him.
 "I don’t care about the others involved in this play, I only care about what you think. I want you to know this is just a drama, everything is fake, it’s not my true intention."
 Pei Yansi looked at Shen Heyu passionately. He had already lost her once, and he did not want to lose her a second time.

 </div> Shen Heyu glanced at Pei Yansi’s eyes, then slowly turned her head away.
 Her mind went blank for a moment. Just then, her phone vibrated. She looked down; it was a message from Lu Yunlan.
 "Do you have time now? We haven’t been in touch for so long. Could we meet now? I will send you the time and place."
 Shen Heyu did not reply immediately; she turned back to Pei Yansi. "I have other matters to attend to, so I must go now."
 "Don’t you believe what I said?" Pei Yansi reached out to grab Shen Heyu’s wrist, and this time, she didn’t pull away forcefully.
 "It’s not that I don’t believe what you said. It’s just that I don’t trust myself," Shen Heyu picked up her things and glanced down at Pei Yansi’s hand holding her wrist.
 Although Shen Heyu said nothing, the meaning was clear in her eyes, and Pei Yansi understood what she meant.
 He slowly loosened his grip on her wrist and watched helplessly as Shen Heyu disappeared from his sight.
 Shen Heyu arrived at the restaurant designated by Lu Yunlan.
 Upon seeing Shen Heyu, Lu Yunlan smiled happily. "It feels like we haven’t seen each other in eight hundred years. Seeing you now, you’ve changed so much I almost can’t recognize you."
 Shen Heyu smiled and placed her bag on the sofa next to her. "Has it been so long that I look old and worn-out, so you can’t recognize me?"
 Lu Yunlan shook her head, her eyes bright and serene as she watched Shen Heyu, her small mouth sweet as honey as she said, "You’ve become even more beautiful after not seeing each other for a while. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were some fresh-faced college student."
 "You’re joking again. No matter what, I am a mother," said Shen Heyu as the waiter handed over the menu and she began browsing through it.
 However, after Gu Siyu finished browsing the menu, she looked up and continued scrutinizing Shen Heyu, "I’m serious, you’re just as beautiful as before. It’s been me who has looked quite haggard recently. I must look as if I’ve changed completely."
 Hearing this, Shen Heyu looked up, noticing the fatigue in Lu Yunlan’s eyes.
 She indeed knew that Lu Yunlan had been tormented by illness these past few days, so her fatigue and haggard appearance were real.
 "I’m sorry, back then I didn’t know Gu Siyu met with you to poison you. If I had known, I would have warned you, no, I would have stopped you two from meeting, preventing him from extending his wicked claws toward you."
 Upon hearing what Lu Yunlan said, Shen Heyu roughly understood the purpose of Lu Yunlan’s visit.
𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮 This time, however, Lu Yunlan lowered her head to avoid direct conversation with Shen Heyu. She looked at the dishes as she spoke, "My brother told me about this too. He said you had your own difficult reasons and told me not to blame you."
 "Don’t worry, I won’t blame you. After all, it was my husband who first poisoned your daughter, causing her a trip to the brink of death, so Gu Siyu poisoning me squares things away. Now, no one owes anyone anything."
 Lu Yunlan said with a laugh, then she ordered two dishes, which the waiter noted down. After hearing her statement, Shen Heyu’s hand tightened slightly around the menu.
 Shen Heyu knew she was definitely upset about this matter, and she also knew that Lu Yi would absolutely not speak on her behalf. He would surely smear her reputation in front of Lu Yunlan, even casting aspersions on her character.
 Thus, Lu Yunlan’s seemingly calm demeanor was all a façade, only she knew her own inner conflict and struggle.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Shen Heyu also knew that everything Lu Yunlan said was the opposite of her true feelings.
 "Yun Lan, I’m sorry. I never blamed you for what Chen Wenzhou did, and I didn’t know that Gu Siyu wanted to meet you to poison you. After learning you had been poisoned, I felt horrible too, and I thought about helping you find an antidote."
 Shen Heyu earnestly apologized to Lu Yunlan. She reached out to hold Lu Yunlan’s hand, but Lu Yunlan forcefully pulled her hand away.
 Her body language clearly showed her aversion to Shen Heyu, so no matter how calm she appeared, her heart was seething with resentment.
 "We’ve been best friends for so many years. Don’t you believe what I’m saying? I’ve never had any intention to harm you," Shen Heyu repeated earnestly. She really hadn’t meant to do it, and she was quite distressed when she found out Gu Siyu had poisoned her.
 Yet you could clearly see she didn’t take Shen Heyu’s words to heart; she merely looked at Shen Heyu with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
 "You know we’ve been close friends for so many years, but did you ever consider me a real friend? You actually sided with Gu Siyu to poison me, using me as a bargaining chip to facilitate negotiations with my husband."
 Ultimately, Lu Yunlan revealed her deep resentment towards Shen Heyu. Hearing Lu Yunlan’s reproach, Shen Heyu lowered her head.
 "If you’re angry at me, yell at me all you want, I’m truly sorry," Shen Heyu displayed her apologetic attitude, but Lu Yunlan clearly was not receptive.
 Lu Yunlan gave a cold laugh.</div>
