The person following her was sent by Pei Yansi.
Pei Yansi had always worried that Chen Wenzhou might harm her.
After all, he could even harm the second female lead without care, and he didn’t hesitate when Lu Yi was by her side. It was evident that this man was ruthless enough; perhaps because of the siblings’ resentment, he might drag her into it.
He had to be on guard.
Since Shen Jiangli had entered the madhouse, Shen Group had been leaderless for a day. Internal strife ensued, and now was the best time for Pei Yansi’s acquisition. He still had many matters to handle and naturally was too busy to keep an eye on Shen Heyu.
After seeing her off, he headed to Shen Group under the guidance of Zhao Jing.
Without Shen Jiangli, the company’s business plummeted, even the stocks fell sharply, prompting many shareholders to withdraw their investments.
The company was in chaos.
Shen Jiang, overseas, learned about the situation and sent someone promptly to handle it, but that person hadn’t arrived yet.
When Pei Yansi arrived, he found that the person maintaining order in the company was Han Manyin.
In the office, dressed in a suit, Han Manyin looked every bit the strong woman as she sat in Shen Jiangli’s former seat, clutching a pen.
When she heard of Pei Yansi’s arrival, she looked up, surprised, "It’s President Pei, unexpected indeed."
Although her status was different now, in the presence of Pei Yansi, she still didn’t dare put on airs, and her tone remained humble.
Pei Yansi sat on the sofa nearby, surveying the office. Nothing had changed since Shen Jiangli’s departure, except for the addition of some women’s items.
Far from being incongruous, it added a touch of life to the office.
For some reason, Pei Yansi suddenly thought of his and Shen Heyu’s marriage house. Initially, the cold house, with only high-end decor, had no sign of life. But after adding both his and her belongings, that feeling changed instantly.
He looked at her meaningfully, "Has your amnesia healed?"
Han Manyin didn’t show any slip; she said curiously, "I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I did hear from Shen Jiangli that I had amnesia."
"I don’t know if it has healed, but I’ve seen you before, so I recognize you."
Her lie was flawless, and Pei Yansi merely smiled faintly, not bothering to expose her.
He casually flipped through a magazine beside him, "Shen Group, I want it. It’s not for you to manage. Perhaps handing it over to me, it might survive a bit longer."
Han Manyin frowned in displeasure.
She had finally achieved everything today; before leaving for the madhouse, Shen Jiangli had left her quite a bit of wealth, but she wasn’t satisfied.
Such a large company, would it not be a waste if it were not under her control?
Under the guise of caring for Shen Jiangli, she had taken over here, managing the company, and despite her limited knowledge, she truly put in effort to learn.
Now, somewhat adept, the company’s situation was not great, but it was slowly improving.
She believed it wouldn’t be long before she firmly secured her position.
Especially since Han Manyin could feel Shen Jiangli’s loving gestures towards her.
She planned to sort things out here and then go to the madhouse to bring him out and reveal her feelings.
That way, perhaps they could be together forever.
So, Han Manyin squarely refused Pei Yansi’s proposition.
"It’s impossible to give it to you; this is his, no matter what, I will keep it forever."
Pei Yansi chuckled, a laughter filled with derision, though faint, she still picked it up.
"What are you laughing at?" Han Manyin frowned in displeasure, eyeing him unfavorably.
Pei Yansi stood up from the sofa, straightening his suit tie, and said, "I just think your acting is a bit overdone."
"Back at the cabin, I could already tell that you haven’t lost your memory."
Han Manyin was stunned, as if struck by lightning, standing still with a vacant stare, "What do you mean by that? What’s your intention in bringing this up now?"
It couldn’t be for Shen Group, for him, Shen Group was nothing significant.
There must be other ideas.
However, Pei Yansi simply maintained his original smile, finally saying, "No particular reason, just wanted to tell you, if it’s not yours, no matter how many tricks you deploy, it will never belong to you."
After saying this, he didn’t give her a chance to respond, instead, turning and leaving with long strides.
She watched his back, still feeling uneasy.
She didn’t believe that he had come here just to say these trivial words.
Shen Heyu arrived at the hospital and saw Lu Yunlan by Lu Yi’s bedside.
She didn’t know when Lu Yunlan had come; when she left last night, she hadn’t seen her.
At the moment, Shen Heyu heard Lu Yi saying something to her, but due to the distance, she couldn’t make out the content.
However, she could make out that Lu Yi looked earnest while Lu Yunlan seemed impatient, even a little rebelliousness could be seen in the corners of her eyes.
She knocked on the door of the hospital room, and the people inside, hearing the sound, instinctively stopped their conversation.
Lu Yunlan turned her head, looked at Shen Heyu, but didn’t greet her with a smile as usual; instead, she wiped her eyes and turned away.
Shen Heyu keenly noticed her eyes were bright red, obviously having cried, and somewhat swollen.
She walked in, patted Lu Yunlan’s shoulder, and took the initiative, "What’s wrong? Has something happened?"
After speaking, she instinctively turned her head, looking at Lu Yi with a puzzled gaze.
The door of the ward had been closed, blocking the external noise, creating another little world where whatever they said didn’t matter.
Under such circumstances, Shen Heyu believed that with their relationship, Lu Yunlan would tell her the whole story. But instead of speaking, she stood up, ready to leave.
Lu Yi also remained silent.
Both seemed to tacitly agree not to tell Shen Heyu what had happened.
The more they did this, the more anxious Shen Heyu became. She grabbed Lu Yunlan’s wrist as she was about to leave, "What exactly happened? Don’t you consider me a good sister anymore?"
Lu Yunlan turned her head to look at her, her eyes still red, "It’s just a small matter."
"A small matter that made you cry ?" Shen Heyu cut her off, clearly not believing her. She held onto her, "Come with me. Tell me clearly, if there’s anything I can help with, I can give you advice."
Shen Heyu led Lu Yunlan out of the ward, and the two came to the hospital’s stairwell where few people passed.
It was here that she said to Lu Yunlan, "Now you can talk."
