She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 349 Absurdity

Shen Heyu froze upon hearing this.

Before this, she had personally visited the madhouse to see Shen Jiangli, who was clearly inside, and he seemed much more stable.

How could he possibly not be there?

Thinking Shen Heyu wouldn’t reply, Han Manyin believed she had struck a nerve and added, "Is it because you still resent him that you deliberately had Pei Yansi take him away? What madhouse—it’s all just a front put up by you, isn’t it?"

Shen Heyu looked up and glanced at her, "Your guess is absurd. Even if I still resented him, I would have sent him directly to the police, not let Pei Yansi deal with him."

Han Manyin realized it made sense. Although she and Pei Yansi were married, she never liked him. If anything happened to her, she certainly wouldn’t ask him for help.

It was very likely that Pei Yansi took initiative against Shen Jiangli.

But if that was the case, how could she help Shen Jiangli?

She was no match for Pei Yansi.

Thinking this, Han Manyin’s hatred reignited. With things as they were, her only option was to strike at Shen Heyu.

She wanted Shen Heyu to pay the so-called price, to leverage Pei Yansi in exchange for Shen Jiangli’s release.

Han Manyin had to admit, although her initial approach to Shen Jiangli was self-serving, she had developed feelings for him after spending time together.

Now that he was gone and the Shen Group was in her hands, she tried her best to manage it but felt utterly out of her depth, considering she had only graduated from college not long ago and was completely clueless about such matters.

Current desires outweighed her previous ones—she now wished more for him to return and continue managing the company, and then to marry her. That would fulfill her dream of marrying into wealth, and the Shen Group wouldn’t have to suffer in her hands.

With this in mind, she advanced two steps, intending to attack Shen Heyu.

"You and Pei Yansi, as husband and wife, are in this together. Whether it’s him or you, it’s the same. You’ve hidden him away—where is he?"

Without discerning right from wrong, Han Manyin raised her hand to strike her.

Seeing this, Lu Yunlan quickly stepped forward and caught the hand that Han Manyin hadn’t managed to swing down.

"Do you have any evidence to prove that she did anything to Shen Jiangli?" Lu Yunlan coldly glared at her, "If you have no evidence, then you’re slandering. Do you know the consequences of slander laid upon you—how much you’d have to pay?"

Han Manyin didn’t care. Her only aim was to achieve her goal, and she spoke in anger, "Who else could it be if not her? Wasn’t she the one with a grudge against him before?"

Shen Heyu hadn’t told Lu Yunlan about this matter.

Consequently, Lu Yunlan wasn’t aware of the full story, and hearing Han Manyin speak this way, she felt utterly confused and also thought Han Manyin was being unreasonable. She spoke resentfully,

"What sort of grudge could exist between them to make Heyu take such drastic actions? You’re spewing lies and slandering recklessly!"

"Just ask her yourself and you’ll find out!"

Lu Yunlan said, "I know her. If she says she didn’t do it, then she didn’t, or else she would have told me!"

Han Manyin scoffed, "You really are naïve."

Lu Yunlan didn’t want to argue any further. To her, Han Manyin was nothing more than an insignificant weakling, not even fit to carry her shoes.

She said, "Who let this ugly duckling in, blabbering nonsense to be noticed? I am the Lu Family’s daughter; what are you? Give you three minutes to get out of my sight. Otherwise, I’ll have to contact my lawyer!"

Hearing these words, Han Manyin felt a twinge of fear.

She knew that Lu Yunlan was the treasured daughter of the Lu Family, doted on since childhood, which was why her temperament was also spoiled to an extreme degree, not afraid to stir up trouble.

She spoke, and Han Manyin dared not linger any longer, yet still harbored dislike for Shen Heyu. Before leaving, Han Manyin turned her head and gave Shen Heyu a vicious glare, saying, "I won’t let this go easily, wait for it!"

"How can someone be as malicious as you? Even if Shen Jiangli truly did something to wrong you, he hasn’t caused you any substantial harm. Yet, you insist on hiding him away. Only you know the true reason behind hiding him!" freeweɓnovel-cøm

After Han Manyin finished speaking, she left arrogantly, as if she refused to look at anyone else in the room again.

Shen Heyu, however, found it odd.

If Pei Yansi wanted to take action against Shen Jiangli, to move and conceal him for torture, he wouldn’t have sent him to the madhouse.

Rather, he would go straight for that purpose.

But he didn’t, which meant this was not his doing, or perhaps he wasn’t even aware of it.

The more Shen Heyu thought about it, the more she felt something was amiss.

At that moment, she heard Lu Yunlan ask beside her ear, "What does she mean by all that, what happened between you and Shen Jiangli?"

Previously, her relationship with Shen Jiangli was quite good. Especially when abroad, they took care of each other, or rather, Shen Heyu accepted many acts of kindness from him.

Upon hearing Han Manyin’s words, Lu Yunlan also felt it was strange.

Shen Heyu sighed, initially intending to keep the matter a secret, but now it seemed there was no point in hiding it anymore.

So she explained everything from beginning to end.

After listening, Lu Yunlan exclaimed in surprise, "It’s impossible to tell he would be that kind of person. He actually tried to force himself on you?"

"It’s a good thing nothing happened," Shen Heyu said sincerely.

Lu Yunlan nodded. "But if it’s really like that, do you hate him? Does this madhouse incident have anything to do with you?"

Shen Heyu shook her head honestly, "It has nothing to do with me. I saw him yesterday, and he was perfectly fine. I just have no idea why he disappeared today."

Lu Yunlan felt extremely perplexed, yet couldn’t think of any reason or explanation at the moment.

So she didn’t continue on the topic but instead changed the subject, "Alright, remember to come to me if you have any troubles. I will be with you in the hospital, not going anywhere else."

Shen Heyu smiled gratefully and nodded at her.

The bond between the best friends remained as strong as ever and had not been fractured because of any man, which gave Shen Heyu some solace.

But Lu Yunlan didn’t see it that way in her heart.

She was still concerned about how to deal with Chen Wenzhou.

Pei Yansi returned quickly, holding a thermal lunch box. He opened the door, and upon seeing Lu Yunlan, he visibly paused.

But the expression on his face was fleeting. As he entered the room, he had already composed himself, though his tone was still not quite pleased as he asked,

"Why is Miss Lu here?"

Lu Yunlan was somewhat intimidated by this inherently imposing man, and thus she subconsciously lowered her head, speaking to him with a hint of fear,

"I came to see how Heyu is doing. She was injured quite severely yesterday."

Pei Yansi chuckled and placed the lunch box on the bedside cabinet.
