Chapter 190: Chapter 190 Complaining and Intimidating
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Shen Heyu said candidly, leaning back in her seat, not the least bit intimidated by Han Manyin.
Seeing her face made Han Manyin feel disgusted because after going with her to the Gen Shaoyou project yesterday, Shen Jiangli had taken the initiative to find her and warned her not to overstep her boundaries.
The whole incident from yesterday was only known by the three of them; Shaoyou would never have told Shen Jiangli about such matters. So how did the latter find out?
Han Manyin could only think of one explanation: it was Shen Heyu’s doing.
Her reasoning was not without basis.
No one else was possible, so didn’t that leave just Shen Heyu?
“What act are you putting on,” Han Manyin said, her voice heavy, “Aside from you, there’s simply no one who would go complaining to President Shen. At first, I thought you were really some kind of virtuous woman, and when they said you were caught between two men, you still posed as a paragon of virtue.”
“Now it seems you’re nothing more than a lowlife who tattles behind people’s backs.”
Shen Heyu, hearing these words, vaguely understood what was happening. It seemed the argument she had overheard from Shen Jiangli’s office wasn’t baseless after all.
She looked at Han Manyin and said, “If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it yourself. What status does President Shen have, and as his woman, do you think your every move could escape his eyes? Don’t think everyone is as idle as you, spending their time creating chaos in others’ lives. I’m not that bored.”
Her words seemed to take the moral high ground, causing the reluctant hatred in Han Manyin to grow even more intense. She couldn’t understand why Shen Heyu could always maintain such composure and infuriate her to death.
She wanted to say something to provoke Shen Heyu, to win one over for herself, but Shen Heyu had already stood up from her office chair and said, “I will not admit to things I haven’t done. That’s it.”
After speaking, she walked straight past Han Manyin and left the office without giving her a chance to speak.
Han Manyin could only stare at her retreating figure, grinding her teeth in fury.
One day, she would make her pay. Han Manyin thought with towering hatred in her eyes.
Shen Heyu left the company and from a distance saw Pei Yansi’s car parked at the roadside.
Thinking of the task he had given her this morning, she didn’t dare delay and made her way straight to the back seat of his car.
Seeing her obedient now, Pei Yansi felt extra fondness for her in his heart. He took the initiative to pull open the car door and ushered Shen Heyu in.
“Is everything going smoothly today?” he greeted her casually, his voice filled with obvious tenderness, a complete contrast to the man who had threatened her with harsh words this morning.
She had long gotten used to Pei Yansi’s moodiness. Even if her heart was filled with disgust, showing it wouldn’t be useful.
Yet she couldn’t hide the aversion to Pei Yansi in her eyes.
Pei Yansi clearly noticed but wasn’t annoyed—women always have their little moods.
Without caring whether Shen Heyu agreed or not, he pulled her into his embrace and planted a kiss on her lips, smiling as he said, “Now we’re going to pick up our daughter,” and here, Pei Yansi paused before emphasizing, “our daughter.”
Shen Heyu frowned tightly, not very interested in entertaining him.
Pei Yansi was about to instruct Zhao Jin to drive when he spotted a few shady-looking men in the rearview mirror.
The men appeared tall and burly, exuding a sense of strength even in their thick autumn clothes, obviously not ordinary people, and they kept staring in their direction.
Pei Yansi instinctively felt something was amiss. He glanced at Shen Heyu and asked, “Have you offended anyone recently?”
Shen Heyu didn’t understand why he was asking, but she still shook her head, then immediately thought of something and said, “Does Shao You count?”
The Shao You she mentioned was the client she had met yesterday.
The man who wanted to punish her by making her drink ten cups of alcohol for being ten minutes late.
Pei Yansi thought of Shao You and sneered inwardly, truly audacious, even daring to monitor and follow one of Pei Yansi’s people.
Seeing the indescribable expression in his eyes, which even carried a chill, Shen Heyu couldn’t help but ask, “Is something wrong?”

“Nothing, let’s go pick up our daughter.”
Even though she knew he was deceiving her, Shen Heyu didn’t ask any further questions. Since he didn’t want to tell, she didn’t wish to force him.
Zhao Jin drove toward the kindergarten.
It was now dismissal time, and a group of children was laughing and playing outside the kindergarten. Shen Heyu saw her daughter from a distance, standing by the roadside and looking around.
Yueyue soon spotted her father’s car.
She grabbed the strap of her backpack and started walking toward Shen Heyu.
Before she arrived, Pei Yansi had already gotten out of the car first, squatting by the side of it with his arms wide open. Yueyue rushed into them, giving him a full embrace.
“Daddy!” Yueyue called out sweetly, happily hugging Pei Yansi’s neck.
Pei Yansi indulgently picked up his daughter and got into the back seat of the car, while Yueyue waved goodbye to her classmates by the roadside. She happily bid them farewell and, seeing her good friend’s twin brothers beside her, was incredibly delighted.
She burrowed into Shen Heyu’s embrace and said, “Mommy, could I have a little brother?”
Shen Heyu was stunned by the question and did not immediately reply. At that moment, Pei Yansi had already followed Yueyue into the car and happened to hear her words.
With a smile on his lips, he pulled his daughter into his embrace and indulgently said, “Of course, you can. But whether it’s a brother or a sister, that we can’t be sure of.”
Yueyue tilted her little head in thought, “Even if it’s a sister, that’s okay.”
“…”
For the first time, Shen Heyu didn’t want to listen to the conversation between this father and daughter at all.
But since she couldn’t close her ears, she could only quietly stare at the scenery outside the window, pretending she had heard nothing.
Pei Yansi noticed her reluctance and did not continue on the topic. Half an hour later, the car stopped outside the mansion.
Pei Yansi got out of the car first with his daughter, followed by Shen Heyu. After settling his daughter, he then entered the study.
Zhao Jin, as if knowing he had something to instruct, tactfully followed his pace.
Inside the study, Xiao Ming closed the door, leaving only himself and Pei Yansi. He walked up to him, lowered his head, and said, “President Pei.”
Pei Yansi watched him silently for a while before saying, “Find out clearly who was following Shen Heyu today, whether they are Shao You’s people or not. If they are, make sure you take care of it.”
“Yes,” replied Zhao Jin and was about to leave when he heard Pei Yansi continue, “What about the matter regarding Shen Fanshuang you were looking into last time—any leads?”
“Found some. The gang leader responsible for the incident back then is still in prison.”
