"I told you to follow the plan, didn’t I? Why wouldn’t you listen to me, Shen Heyu will wake up tomorrow morning, and if she starts investigating this matter, you’d better have arranged everything perfectly, so she won’t suspect you."
Chen Wenzhou looked at Lu Yi discontentedly.
"Fine, this time was an exception. Next time, I will definitely follow your orders. After this, please take care of the rest. A single night in spring is worth a thousand gold; I can’t wait to spend a good time with Shen Heyu."
Lu Yi’s smile almost reached his ears, and seeing this disgraceful display, Chen Wenzhou could only look at him with disdain and frowned.
He stood up, glanced at Shen Heyu, who had passed out on the couch after drinking the drugged soda.
She had already passed out , and the aphrodisiac in the water would take effect in half an hour.
Now that Shen Heyu was in this state, Chen Wenzhou figured he needn’t worry about what came next. Even if Lu Yi was incompetent, there was no way he could mess this up.
"Alright, go handle it. I’ll take care of the rest," Chen Wenzhou coldly said, giving the impatient Lu Yi a glance before leaving the coffee shop.
He made a call, arranging for someone who looked and was built like Lu Yi to drive from Lu Yi’s family to the hotel.
By tomorrow, the connection between Shen Heyu and Pei Yansi would be completely severed, and Chen Wenzhou returned home, satisfied, finding Chen Lingmeng had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Brother, how did it go? Is Lu Yi really going to sleep with Shen Heyu?" Chen Lingmeng was aware of their plan, and knowing that Lu Yi was collaborating with Chen Wenzhou, she could hardly contain her glee at the thought of Shen Heyu’s body being defiled by Lu Yi.
"Yes. Everything went seamlessly. Chen Lingmeng won’t escape this scandal. By tomorrow she won’t dare show her face in front of Pei Yansi anymore, and then you’ll have lost a powerful rival in love."
"Brother, you are really the best!" Chen Lingmeng said joyfully, standing up from her wheelchair and embracing Chen Wenzhou with open arms. Chen Wenzhou glanced around vigilantly, thankfully no outsiders were present.
Chen Wenzhou patted Chen Lingmeng on the back, "Alright, haven’t I told you? You must be very careful about your ’injury’ not existing. Get back in your wheelchair and behave. It could get complicated if an outsider sees you ."
Hearing Chen Wenzhou’s admonition, Chen Lingmeng pouted, reluctantly seated herself back in the wheelchair.
"Brother, we’ve dealt with Shen Heyu, but what about Xiao Hua? Didn’t you say we can’t keep her around? And we need to pin it on Shen Heyu, but I still can’t figure out how to tie this to her."
Chen Lingmeng stared at Chen Wenzhou with wide eyes as he naturally walked behind her wheelchair, pushing it towards the balcony to enjoy some fresh air and sunlight.
"You just watch as your brother performs miracles. I promise you will get your wish to marry Pei Yansi, even if it means tying him down to your bed."
Chen Lingmeng smiled confidently at Chen Wenzhou’s words, but then she turned her head to look at him again.
"Brother, you said I could pretend to be disabled for a year or two, but I can’t sit in this wheelchair forever. You have no idea how much ridicule I’ve faced, believing I’m truly crippled."
Just recalling this made Chen Lingmeng furious. Her so-called ’plastic’ friends sent her mocking messages, hinting she was crippled and would have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
Chen Lingmeng was so provoked by them that she almost blurted out the truth—that she wasn’t disabled, and her legs were perfectly fine.
But she hadn’t truly married Pei Yansi yet, and the plan hadn’t been achieved, so at that moment she could only grit her teeth—even if she broke her teeth, she could only swallow them.
Whenever she thought about this matter, Chen Lingmeng felt full of grievances, her pitiful eyes turning to Chen Wenzhou, hoping he would give her some strategies.
"Mengmeng, what are you thinking about? Brother certainly won’t let you act forever. It’s no different from being actually disabled. Rest assured, once your matter with Pei Yansi is settled, I’ll definitely find an opportunity for you to stand up in front of everyone again."
"Brother, you’re so kind!" Chen Lingmeng looked at Chen Wenzhou with gratitude.
Hearing her thanks, Lu Yi merely smiled faintly, feeling a complex mix of emotions inside.
Although he bore the Chen surname and had a place in the company, and others respectfully called him Young Master Chen, he knew that within this family, he was like an outsider tirelessly working.
"It’s getting late, better go to rest. Tomorrow morning, you’ll be able to hear good news," Chen Wenzhou raised his hand to glance at his wristwatch; it was indeed late and his wife was still waiting for him in the bedroom.
"Just thinking about the thrilling events that will happen tonight, I can hardly sleep. I really want to fast-forward to tomorrow morning, to hear about the matters between Shen Heyu and Lu Yi."
"The night is not long, get a good night’s sleep, and tomorrow morning, you’ll be able to hear good news."
"Okay." Chen Lingmeng smiled happily and nodded. Taking Chen Wenzhou’s advice, she obediently went to wash up and sleep.
They all thought that Shen Heyu surely must have had an intimate night with Lu Yi, but in reality, Shen Heyu’s bed companion was Pei Yansi.
Before losing consciousness, Shen Heyu had sent a message to Pei Yansi, who managed to arrive at the hotel in time and intercepted Shen Heyu from Lu Yi’s hands, thus stopping her from anything happening with Lu Yi.
The next morning, Shen Heyu woke up feeling groggy, feeling as if a distinctly angular stone was stuffed inside her head, causing a severe headache.
"It’s still early, you can sleep a little longer."
Half-drowsy, Shen Heyu heard a voice beside her. This suddenly felt like a splash of cold water, and she abruptly opened her eyes, panicked, and looked around.
But what she saw wasn’t a stranger, but rather Pei Yansi, sitting on the sofa next to her, having watched over her all night with wide-open eyes.
Shen Heyu panickedly tossed aside the covers and glanced down, discovering her clothes in disarray, but Pei Yansi was completely dressed, sitting there.
"Why am I here, what exactly happened last night?" Shen Heyu asked Pei Yansi in fear, truly frightened that something that shouldn’t have happened had occurred.
"Do you really not remember what happened last night?" Pei Yansi’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Shen Heyu.
Shen Heyu remembered that last night Chen Wenzhou had called her out to meet, and then gave her water laced with a drug, after which her eyes darkened, and she passed out.
