This was the first time Mo Yanzhi shouted someone’s name with such intense anger. His childhood experiences had taught him to keep his emotions hidden. Not to mention Chen Wanying, Shen Yu was also startled.
He quietly glanced towards the hospital bed. Li Shu was still sitting in the same position, with his head slightly lowered, making it difficult to see his expression. Mo Yanzhi was holding one of his hands, with a storm brewing in his eyes.
Truly, one thing leads to another. Shen Yu’s heart became even more complicated. Even though he lost his memory, his friend still fell in love with Li Shu immediately. This was even more unbelievable than losing your memory of someone. If someone had said this to Shen Yu before, he would have immediately suspected that there was something wrong with the person who said this. Now that he had seen these various incredible events, Shen Yu’s worldview was greatly shaken.
Li Shu lowered his head, and glanced at Chen Wanying from the corner of his eyes. A moment of confusion flashed across the woman’s face, but she quickly adjusted herself and said with tears in her eyes, “Brother Mo, you’ve lost a part of your memory. Don’t let this person deceive you with his sweet words.”
Knowing that he had already angered Mo Yanzhi, Chen Wanying decided to change her approach. If she wasn’t going to end well, Li Shu wouldn’t shouldn’t end well either!
As long as it was confirmed that Li Shu got together with him for money, based on her understanding of Mo Yanzhi, he would definitely develop a barrier towards Li Shu. Moreover, this matter wasn’t fabricated by her. There was indeed a monetary transaction between Li Shu and Mo Yanzhi. As long as money is mixed with any emotion, the whole flavor will change.
Chen Wanying’s idea was good, provided that the scene when Li Shu first came to the ward had not happened.
With no response for a long time, the ward was so quiet you could hear a needle drop. Chen Wanying vaguely felt uneasy and quietly observed the people present. Shen Yu had a strange look in his eyes, the anger in Mo Yanzhi’s eyes didn’t diminish, but Li Shu…
Li Shu still had his head down, his slightly long bangs covering his eyes, and the exposed corners of his mouth revealed a faint mocking arc.
Mocking? How could it be mocking? Chen Wanying couldn’t help feeling flustered. She hadn’t said anything wrong, so why did they all have this expression?
“Inciting discord isn’t something a lady would do, Miss Chen,” Li Shu said with a smile, as if joking with an old friend.
Whatever relationship Chen Wanying and he had, it couldn’t possibly be that of old friends. Suppressing her unease, Chen Wanying tried to remain calm. “I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?”
This was Chen Wanying’s biggest reliance. For her, Mo Yanzhi’s amnesia was a tremendous opportunity. If she grasped it, not only could she get rid of Li Shu, but she could also rebuild her connection with Mo Yanzhi.
When she learned that Mo Yanzhi had only forgotten Li Shu, Chen Wanying couldn’t help but laugh. Truly, even the heavens were helping her. Without Mo Yanzhi’s support, could she not be able to deal with a mere small star like Li Shu?
There is also that man who wants to seize the Chen family’s property. It is said that that man is also on good terms with Li Shu. As long as she takes the position of the madam of the Mo family, how could she not be able to solve these little things.
“You dare to say that you’re not with Brother Mo for his status? Thanks to Brother Mo, your father could come to the capital for treatment, right?”
“That’s right,” Li Shu admitted frankly. He looked at the momentary surprise on Chen Wanying’s face and smiled. “What’s wrong? Did you think I would hide it from Yanzhi?”
Chen Wanying: “Isn’t that the case?”
“Normally, yes,” Shen Yu couldn’t help but interject, but Li Shu’s behavior clearly couldn’t be judged by ordinary standards. “Contrary to what you think, the first thing Li Shu did when he came here was to clarify his relationship with Yanzhi.”
‘Clarify the relationship? What kind of relationship could be clarified other than the transactional relationship between Li Shu and Mo Yanzhi?’
“You’re insane!” Chen Wanying blurted out the words in shock. Would a normal person do this at this time?
“Miss Chen, mind your words.” It was Mo Yanzhi who spoke. His eyes were still on Li Shu, his tone gentle but devoid of any emotion. “Shu Shu told me immediately because he was honest and didn’t want to deceive me.”
It was the same words, but when Chen Wanying said them, it was sowing discord with ill intent, but when Li Shu said them, it was honesty and sincerity. It could be said that Mo Yanzhi had double standards.
Upon hearing this, not to mention Chen Wanying’s reaction, Shen Yu looked horrified. He looked at Mo Yanzhi as if he was looking at an alien. Is someone who is so blatantly biased really his friend? Could he have been possessed by something strange?
Compared to the two, Li Shu’s reaction was much more normal. After a brief astonishment, a shallow smile appeared in his eyes. This feeling of being openly favored and protected…
It felt really good.
Feeling confident about being favored, and relying on Mo Yanzhi’s overt and covert protection, Li Shu was in a good mood and happily provoked Chen Wanying, making her doubt life itself.
Mo Yanzhi looked like a doting emperor throughout the whole process, which made Shen Yu want to cover his eyes.
‘Can’t bear to watch, can’t bear to watch.’
This day was definitely the most devastating day for Chen Wanying in history. From this day on, all her fantasies about Mo Yanzhi were shattered.
In the underground parking lot.
Shen Yu went to get the car, while Li Shu waited on the side. Chen Wanying, who had come downstairs ahead of them, emerged from behind a pillar.
“I underestimated you, Li Shu.” She looked at the young man who effortlessly attracted attention by just standing there, feeling inexplicably complex. Today’s events completely overturned some of her ingrained beliefs, especially those about Mo Yanzhi.
Although she was mentally prepared, Mo Yanzhi’s indulgence and protection of Li Shu still surprised Chen Wanying. She had always thought that even if Mo Yanzhi fell in love with someone, he wouldn’t change his principles. She thought that even if Li Shu was Mo Yanzhi’s so-called true love, without any memory and someone muddying the waters, it would at least plant seeds of doubt in Mo Yanzhi’s heart.
But she underestimated Li Shu’s importance in Mo Yanzhi’s heart and underestimated Li Shu’s means. Which little kept star was as bold as Li Shu. If that person hadn’t sworn that Li Shu was being kept by Mo Yanzhi and given evidence, she wouldn’t have believed it at all. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mo Yanzhi had feelings for Li Shu.
“Miss Chen waited here for so long just to say this to me?” Li Shu crossed his arms, lifted his eyelids lazily and asked casually.
A simple sentence successfully brought out the suppressed anger in Chen Wanying’s heart. “How long do you think you can still be proud? Without Brother Mo, I can crush you as easily as squashing an ant.”
“But you still can’t touch me now,” Li Shu mocked. “You dare not act, so you can only show off with your mouth.”
“As long as Yanzhi stands behind me, you’ll have to tolerate my presence every day. Not only that, no matter how well off I am, or how close I am with Yanzhi, you’ll just have to watch. This feeling must be uncomfortable. Someone you’ve liked for years treats another person like a treasure…”
With each word, Chen Wanying’s clenched fist tightened, nails digging into her flesh without her even noticing.
Li Shu: “You know what? I really hate it when someone covets my belongings. You’re very lucky to be the first in the world to do so. So, I’ve prepared a small gift for you. Count the days, you should receive it soon.”
Li Shu’s tone was soft, like a gentle breeze, but under the gaze of those eyes filled with shallow tenderness, Chen Wanying felt cold. The coldness seeped into her organs, freezing her body. She wanted to speak, to retort, but not a single word could come out.
—What have you done?!
Chen Wanying opened her eyes wide and mouthed. At that moment, she truly couldn’t speak or move her body. Thinking of the fate of those people she sent to deal with Li Shu, fear gradually filled her eyes.
Her eyes were opened to the extreme, her face became distorted, and the beauty of the entire face was destroyed. Li Shu seemed not to notice. He just smiled lightly, and the rest of his words dissipated into the air.
“I gave you a chance, didn’t I?”
‘Devil!’ Fear filled her heart until Li Shu’s figure completely disappeared from view. Chen Wanying’s legs went weak, and she fell directly to her knees.
Regardless of the psychological shadow she left on others, Li Shu got into Shen Yu’s car.
Shen Yu glanced at the rearview mirror, asking with uncertainty, “Was that Chen Wanying?”
“Yeah,” Li Shu leaned back against the seat, “I just said a few words with her.”
Shen Yu didn’t have a good impression of Chen Wanying. He had heard of the things she did as Mo Yanzhi’s fiancée, but even so, he still felt a sense of empathy for her today, as he too had suffered a painful spiritual damage.
The turmoil on the internet had not subsided, and a new wave rose. It all started with someone posting on Weibo: [The way the boss chases stars is different from us!] [Image]
In the picture, there were two dolls of the character played by Li Shu in the MV before and after his blackening. The background was an office that gave people a dignified and elegant feeling. The dolls were placed on the desk where the owner of the office could see it when he looked up.
The one who posted the picture was an ordinary user, but it was picked up by a big V and reposted. Li Shu’s popularity was soaring, and any topic related to him would attract widespread attention, as was the case this time.
Originally, fans would pay some attention to such matters and express some admiration, but just as the heat was about to die down, someone came out and claimed that the owner of this office should be the President of Mo Group.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Weibo that had finally calmed down exploded again.
That was the Mo Group, a world-famous conglomerate spanning various fields. Mo Lan Entertainment, one of the three giants in the domestic entertainment industry, was one of its subsidiaries. If the president of the Mo Group was a fan of Li Shu, then it made sense for Mo Lan Entertainment to defend him.
[So the boss dad also chases stars? Suddenly I feel that I am only one Li Shu fan away from the big boss.]
Especially Li Shu’s fans, they were shouting with excitement. Naturally, the black fans were unwilling to give up. It was just a piece of news of unknown authenticity, and yet they were showing off.
The melee between fans and black fans once again propelled Li Shu to the top of the hot search list.
When it came to the boss, no one in the company dared to make decisions on their own. Assistant Xu bore the hopes of the entire company. After reporting to the boss about a day’s work, he mentioned this matter.
“This was my carelessness, please punish me, boss.” No matter what, the leakage of information about Mo Yanzhi was his work mistake.
Mo Yanzhi said solemnly, “No need.”
At first, Assistant Xu didn’t understand what the boss meant, but soon he figured it out. Mo Yanzhi directly forwarded the Weibo post from the big V that was on the hot search, owing to his fan status .
Immediately after, Mo Group’s official Weibo reposted it, and Weibo exploded in an instant.
