Besides the unfamiliar woman in the room, there was someone Shen Heyu was very familiar with—it was Lu Yi.
Lu Yi was standing at the side, putting on his clothes in a confused manner. Just as Shen Heyu opened the door, Lu Yi had just finished putting on his pants and turned his head, meeting Shen Heyu’s gaze in shock.
Lu Yi looked in disbelief, then glanced again at Chen Wenzhou standing behind him.
"You bastard, didn’t you say..." Lu Yi, now seeing Chen Wenzhou, was furious, for according to what Chen had told him, he was supposed to send Shen Heyu to his room.
But when he woke up, there was an entirely unfamiliar woman lying next to him.
The woman was accusing Lu Yi of trying to take advantage of her. She insisted that unless he married her, she would make sure both of them went down together.
Lu Yi had explained to the woman named Xiao Hua that he already had a legal wife and could not marry her. He offered any other compensation Xiao Hua desired, willing to give any amount, but the woman was very persistent.
She persistently pressured Lu Yi to divorce Shen Heyu and marry her. Lu Yi refused this, and just as they were arguing, the door suddenly got pushed open.
More importantly, the person who pushed the door open was Shen Heyu, and Lu Yi was exposed in such an indecent state before Shen Heyu, sending a chill through his heart.
However, he quickly saw Chen Wenzhou standing next to Shen Heyu. He charged toward Chen, swinging his fist, wanting to land a punch on him.
But Chen Wenzhou just acted innocent, and Lu Yi, outraged, grabbed him by the collar. Chen just shrugged, "Mr. Lu, I understand how you feel being caught cheating by Shen Heyu, but please show some respect and do not harm innocent bystanders."
"Besides, we both know our relationship has always been bad, incompatible like fire and water."
Chen Wenzhou subtly reminded Lu Yi, catching the attention of Shen Heyu in the room. Lu Yi then reluctantly, bit by bit, loosened the grip on Chen’s collar.
Having already let Shen Heyu see him in bed with another woman, if she also found out he was colluding with Chen Wenzhou, there was no chance of salvaging their relationship.
Lu Yi nearly crushed his teeth in anger, forcing himself to slowly loosen his grip on Chen’s collar and lower his raised fist.
Chen Wenzhou watched Lu Yi, unable to swallow his frustration, calmly adjusted his crumpled collar, then looked around the messy room.
"It seems it’s time for you to deal with your family matters. Should I step out?" Chen Wenzhou spoke, but no one responded to him as Lu Yi’s attention was focused entirely on Shen Heyu.
Lu Yi softly called out Shen Heyu’s name, "Heyu, things aren’t what you think. I was set up today, I had no idea what happened, I just woke up and found things ."
Hearing Lu Yi’s words, Xiao Hua, overwhelmed with emotion, rushed at Lu Yi and clung tightly to his hand.
"You bastard, do you even know what you’re talking about? You slept with me and now you actually say you don’t know what happened!"
Lu Yi was pleading for Shen Heyu’s forgiveness, but Xiao Hua kept pestering him. Lu Yi, out of patience, and not sparing any tenderness, shoved her aside. He stared intently at Shen Heyu.
He lowered his stance, begging Shen Heyu for forgiveness, over and over he said to Shen Heyu, "Heyu, you have to believe me, I am truly innocent."
"It was him today," Lu Yi raised his hand pointing at Chen Wenzhou. He was the one who had done this to him and he wasn’t going to let him escape blame either. "He said you were in danger and told me to come here to save someone, but I didn’t expect to have a drink with him after I entered, and then I passed out. I have no memory of what happened afterward."
Shen Heyu looked up at Lu Yi, but did not look at Chen Wenzhou who he was pointing to.
Xiao Hua, with her hair as messy as a midnight ghost, crawled up from the ground again and lunged towards Lu Yi, desperately clinging to his legs.
"How ruthless of you, to think you could just desert me after what happened, I won’t allow you to leave unless you give me an explanation today, otherwise, I might as well jump off from here."
"Let go! Release me now. I’ve already told you, whatever amount of money you want as compensation, I’ll satisfy you." Lu Yi tried hard to shake his legs but couldn’t get Xiao Hua off.
Xiao Hua lifted her head, her eyes fixed intently on Lu Yi.
"As I’ve told you many times, I don’t want money, I want you to divorce this woman and marry me, if you can’t do that, believe me, I will jump from here right now, and it will be you who drove me to my death!"
Xiao Hua’s extreme threats pressured Lu Yi, but he was not planning to give in, and he didn’t take her words seriously at all.
"If you don’t let go now, don’t blame me for being rude." Lu Yi was already panicking in front of Shen Heyu, but this woman just wouldn’t stop bothering him, and if this continued, Shen Heyu would definitely get angry.
Xiao Hua glanced up at Chen Wenzhou standing behind, ignored, and he gave her a look. Xiao Hua knew what to do and began to cry loudly.
"God damn, don’t think I don’t know you’re the young master of Lu Group, you actually committed such a cruel act, forced me, and now deny everything. Is there no law left!"
"And you, this woman, just watching him having relations with me and still being so calm, you clearly don’t love this man, you’re definitely after his money. Since that’s the case, you better divorce him, take a share of his money, and get as far away as possible."
"Shut up!" Lu Yi’s face dark with anger looked at Xiao Hua and kicked her away.
Driven to extremity by Xiao Hua, Lu Yi’s kick was forceful. Xiao Hua was sent flying several meters, hitting her head on the table beside her, and then she passed out.
As Shen Heyu moved forward to check on Xiao Hua’s injuries, Lu Yi stopped her.
"Heyu, listen to my explanation. Please don’t react this way, alright? I truly am innocent regarding today’s incident. If you’re angry, you can hit me or scold me, okay?" Lu Yi pleaded, looking at Shen Heyu.
But Shen Heyu just stared coldly at him, "How do you plan to handle today’s incident?"
