She Asks for a Divorce Again

Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Misunderstanding

Shen Heyu left the company, believing she still had to return to the hospital to handle Meng Ru’s matter.

From the beginning, she planned to handle Meng Ru’s situation first, but then Pei Yansi suddenly called her back with a phone call…

After getting into the car, Shen Heyu first contacted her assistant to suppress the trending topics online, then sought out a well-known public relations team to prepare for the upcoming PR issues.

When Shen Heyu reached the hospital and pushed open the door to the ward, Meng Ru was still lying on the bed in her previous leisurely manner, as if she hadn’t expected her to return so quickly and unscathed; surprised, she looked at her and said, “I thought you would lose something after coming out from President Pei’s.”

Indeed, she had lost something.

But it wasn’t visible on the outside.

Shen Heyu suppressed the thoughts at the bottom of her heart and just stood a little inside the doorway to the ward, seemingly unwilling to come closer to her, only saying, “The direction of the trending topics online has already been skewed, especially your fans who are attacking Bai Sheng’er. You know best what happened at Empress Media back then; the company needs you to come out and clarify.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Ru immediately understood the situation.

It must have been Pei Yansi who handed this matter to her.

Meng Ru sneered and said, “Why should I? I don’t know what the truth is. The internet has spoken, the videos are evidence; what else is there for evidence?”

Nothing was clearer than the evidence of the video, and many people only believe what they see. As long as she didn’t clarify, the situation would never progress favorably.

She hadn’t expected that her mere want to trouble Bai Sheng’er would involve Shen Heyu; seeing her come to her actively for clarification suggested that if this matter wasn’t handled well, her consequences would be very unpleasant.

An accidental two birds with one stone, how could she possibly clarify?

Shen Heyu’s gaze was icy cold; she silently watched her for a long time without speaking.

Her eyes were icy cold as she swept them across Meng Ru; the latter had never seen her look at herself with such a dead-like cold gaze and felt somewhat uneasy inside.

Just as she was about to say something, suddenly they heard a magnetic and pleasant male voice from outside, “Heyu? What are you doing here, are your injuries not healed yet?”

Shen Heyu turned her head at the sound of Lu Yi’s voice and saw him standing just a couple of steps away in his usual white coat, looking at her with a gentle smile.

Shen Heyu gave a slight smile and politely said, “No. Someone at the company had an issue, I came to check.”

Hearing this, Lu Yi glanced inside the ward at Meng Ru, who met his gaze and almost immediately knew his feelings toward Shen Heyu were not ordinary.

Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, she was highly sensitive to matters of the opposite sex.

Lu Yi just swept her a faint glance before shifting his gaze back to Shen Heyu and said, “How are your injuries? Should I take another look?”

His gaze was unmistakably intense; Shen Heyu, sensing something odd as their interactions weren’t frequent and she intentionally maintained distance, said, “No need, most of the wounds on my body have healed.”

Lu Yi nodded and said no more, moving two steps closer to her, lowering his head to carefully look at her face.

As if he had discovered something.

“Are you unhappy?” he asked in a deep voice.

Shen Heyu shook her head and took a step to leave, since Meng Ru didn’t agree; she saw no need to stay further.

Lu Yi followed her, “Let me walk you out.”

Watching the two of them leave one after the other, Meng Ru thought of something, picked up her phone to snap a photo, and then sent it to Pei Yansi’s account using her burner account.

Pei Yansi was at a high-end mall with Bai Sheng’er shopping.

She had already encountered unpleasant incidents at the photo studio, but when she went to see him, she persisted in taking care of him, and accidentally spilled coffee on herself while making coffee because her hand hurt.

Without suitable clothes to change into, he found a shirt for her to manage with, then took her out to buy new ones.

When he saw a photo sent from an unknown number, his expression darkened.

It was from that doctor last time, and their relationship had seemed complicated from the start.

He said to Bai Sheng’er, “Let’s stop here for today. I need to go back to the office to handle some work.”

Bai Sheng’er glanced at the assistant following behind them, who was already carrying numerous bags, and feeling that it was indeed enough, said, “President Pei, let me come with you.”

Pei Yansi pondered for two seconds and did not refuse.

Although he had delegated the company crisis to Shen Heyu, his position did not allow him to simply ignore it. After bringing Bai Sheng’er back to the office, he headed straight for the studio to assess the real situation.

As soon as he entered the studio, he saw Shen Heyu talking to a group of staff members.

Shen Heyu had not noticed his arrival. She wanted these people to step forward and clarify the situation, as everyone present had seen and knew what had happened.

But because they disliked Bai Sheng’er, no one had taken the initiative to say much.

When Shen Heyu was about to leave, she noticed Pei Yansi who had already come in.

And Bai Sheng’er, who was following him.

She was expressionless and was about to walk past them when Pei Yansi stopped her, “Where had you just been?”

Shen Heyu, puzzled, said, “President Pei, do you have any instructions?”

As she spoke, she glanced at Bai Sheng’er next to her, who had changed her clothes and even added many luxurious accessories.

Bai Sheng’er looked somewhat more radiant, and when no one else noticed, she defiantly met Shen Heyu’s gaze.

Shen Heyu found it meaningless and looked away. Seeing that Pei Yansi hadn’t spoken, she turned to leave.

“I asked where you had just been.”

Pei Yansi stopped her again.

Shen Heyu, feeling strange, said, “The hospital.”

Pei Yansi’s heavy gaze scrutinized her from head to toe; seeing her face calm, he didn’t intend to explain why she went to the hospital.

He automatically assumed it was to meet that doctor.

He sneered, “Has the PR team thought it through? You’re getting distracted so early to attend to other matters?”

Shen Heyu didn’t respond.

Because she didn’t understand what he was talking about.

Seeing her silence, Pei Yansi’s inward fury grew, an intense, gut-wrenching feeling. His face turned frosty as he coldly said, “I hope you remember your responsibilities and status.”

He emphasized the word ‘status’ forcefully, dropped these words, and directly led Bai Sheng’er away.

Bai Sheng’er lingered behind, and seeing that Pei Yansi’s figure had already disappeared, she walked up to Shen Heyu and whispered in a voice only they could hear, “You’re done.”

Shen Heyu, hearing this, laughed, “In what sense ‘done’?”

Bai Sheng’er met her smiling eyes and felt a sting in her heart, as if no matter what she did, this woman would never show a loss of control.

It was like punching a cushion.

The smile remained on Shen Heyu’s face, and if what she said about her marital relationship with Pei Yansi was true, she couldn’t wait for ‘done’ to come sooner.
