"No, you heard it wrong." Shen Yi answered calmly.
"That’s not true, I clearly heard it!" Ye Wanwan protested adamantly, insisting on what she had heard, which clearly mentioned the name He Qingyun!
Shen Yi still wouldn’t admit it!
"Oh, so our Wanwan heard it after all." Shen Yi turned his head, looking at Ye Wanwan with a playful smile on his face.
Ye Wanwan knew she’d been played and glared fiercely at Shen Yi!
The two sat down at the dining table where Shen Yi took Ye Wanwan’s hand and began examining the abrasion in her palm, speaking softly, "It is related to her."
"Why is it her again!" Ye Wanwan frowned and couldn’t help but complain.
Was this woman never going to stop?
"She has problems," Shen Yi stated with conviction.
The abrasion in Ye Wanwan’s palm had begun to scab over and looked far less frightening than when it was freshly injured. Shen Yi frowned, feeling a surge of anger welling up within him.
But in the end, he did not let his emotions show in front of Ye Wanwan.
Releasing her hand, Shen Yi looked at Ye Wanwan seriously and cautioned her, "You have to go to work, and Uncle Zhang can’t always be with you in the office, so you need to be careful. Remember to call Uncle Zhang the moment anything happens. If you’re not in the office, have Uncle Zhang accompany you the entire time."
"Mhm, I got it," Ye Wanwan nodded obediently. Having been given a second chance at life, she would not joke about her own safety.
Shen Yi reached out to ruffle her hair, and Ye Wanwan didn’t dodge. The servant came to serve the dishes, and they started their meal.
The He Family residence.
He Qingyun drove back from outside, parked her car on the open space in front of the villa, and then got out of the car.
After getting out, He Qingyun didn’t go inside immediately. Instead, she looked at the villa before her and couldn’t help but furrow her brows, not hiding the disgusted expression on her face.
After lingering for a while, He Qingyun still stepped toward the villa. As she entered, she saw her father, He Jiancheng, and her mother, Liu Yunzhi, sitting in the living room.
They were her parents.
With this thought, a mocking smile curled at the corners of her mouth.
Upon seeing He Qingyun enter from the doorway, He Jiancheng immediately frowned and scolded her in a stern voice, "You actually know to come back!"
"Isn’t it you who asked me to return?" The implication was that she would not have come back if they hadn’t insisted.
Of course, even if they had asked her under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t have come back. Today was an exception, He Qingyun thought as she lifted the corners of her lips.
He Qingyun walked over and sat down on the couch, leaning back in an extremely relaxed manner.
"What do you want me back for!" Even though she knew very well, He Qingyun still pretended to ask innocently.
"What for!" He Jiancheng flew into a rage, abruptly standing up from the sofa and glaring at He Qingyun, "You’re the reason Jiayi got into police custody! You tell me what for!"
He Qingyun frowned slightly, showing a look of great confusion: "What do you mean I’m to blame for him being in police custody? Isn’t it his own fault for getting into trouble?"
"What does it have to do with me?" He Qingyun claimed innocence.
"Jiayi said it was you who told him that Ye Wan would be carrying the tender proposal to Jinghong at that time!" Liu Yunzhi interjected.
"Yes, I did say that." He Qingyun admitted swiftly and without a hint of hesitation, nodding her head.
