Chapter 463:1 Envy You

The two of them walked forward in silence. Sang Qianqian lowered her voice and said, “What do you plan to do in the future?”

Judging from Zhen Yishu and Li Zhongjin’s attitudes, no matter what the investigation’s results were, they were clearly planning to use Xu Meixi as a shield.

“Let’s take it one step at a time.”

Xu Meixi’s tone was indifferent and numb as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her. “Do you think I still have a choice?”

If the Li family insisted on using her as a shield, she had no other choice and was powerless to resist.

Moreover, she and Li Zhongjin were already engaged. As long as he did not cancel the engagement and the Li family did not chase her away, she could only stay.

With her identity and status, how could she cancel the engagement on her own accord?

If that were the case, the Li family would probably feel extremely humiliated, and she would be the one to suffer in the end.

Sang Qianqian was silent. When she thought of herself, she felt a sense of sorrow.

In a way, she and Xu Meixi were the same. There were many things they had no choice but to do.

She could only comfort Xu Meixi in a low voice. “You don’t have to be afraid and don’t worry. If the police ask, just tell them the truth.”

Xu Meixi looked at her with a different gaze. “You believe that I’m innocent?”

“Naturally.” Sang Qianqian nodded without hesitation.

“But 1 lied to you before.”

Xu Meixi asked, “How do you know that I didn’t lie to everyone this time?”

“Doing a crime comes with motive. You won’t get any benefit from doing this.”

Sang Qianqian continued, “Besides, why would you even poison Old Lady Zhen? To send yourself to prison?”

The other party said faintly, “Unfortunately, not everyone thinks like you.”

“But not everyone thinks like the Li family.”

Sang Qianqian consoled her, “If this was really an accident, Hanyu would never accuse a good person. If not, even if the Li family wanted to frame you, it would be impossible. With Hanyu around, he wouldn’t let it happen so easily.”

Xu Meixi glanced at Shen Hanyu, who was a few steps away from her, with a complicated look in her eyes.

“Sometimes, 1 really envy you.”

There was an indescribable bitterness in her voice. “To be able to meet someone like President Shen.”

He was noble and had an outstanding appearance, but he was also very affectionate. No matter what happened, there was only Sang Qianqian in his heart. No one else could enter his eyes.

It was ridiculous that she had accidentally bumped into Shen Hanyu in the hospital and had fallen in love with him. At that time, she lost herself and became obsessed with a man whom she had only met once and didn’t even know her name.

It wasn’t until they met again by accident that she realized he was Sang Qianqian’s husband.

How could she not envy Sang Qianqian?

How lucky was she to have such a man who cared for her and loved her unconditionally?

To Xu Meixi, a man like Shen Hanyu could only be the moon that she looked up to. Even getting close to him was a luxury.

In this life, she was destined to never be able to reach him. The heavens had always treated people so unfairly…

Sang Qianqian was silent for a long time, not knowing how to answer.

She was indeed very lucky to have met Shen Hanyu when she was younger. He had treated her so well and did so much for her.

Unfortunately, what she could do for him was so little in comparison.

Sometimes, even if she wanted to do something for him, she would have no choice but to hurt him, just like that winter day when she came to Beijing alone. Just like now, to save Shen Shaofeng, she had no choice but to separate from him again.

Old Lady Zhen’s condition was still stable and she woke up not long after.

Because Old Lady Zhen’s hospitalization was directly related to her son, Zhen Yishu wiped her tears and made Li Zhongjin and Xu Meixi apologize repeatedly. They were just short of kneeling down to the old lady on the spot.

Even though Old Lady Zhen was annoyed and waved her hand weakly to let them go, Zhen Yishu still refused to leave.

She still had a glimmer of hope. She wanted the old lady to persuade Shen Hanyu to change his mind. There was no need to wash his dirty linen in public and involve the police.

Although Old Lady Zhen was weak, she wasn’t stupid. She refused to promise to leave the matter alone.

It wasn’t until Shen Hanyu frowned and called for the nurse to urge them to leave that the ward finally became quiet.

When they left the ward, Li Zhongjin’s expression darkened. Zhen Yishu also pulled a long face and said to Xu Meixi, “You can take a taxi yourself. 1 have something to say to Zhongjin.”

Xu Meixi lowered her head in response, turned around, and left in a hurry.

Looking at the woman’s back, Zhen Yishu’s eyes were filled with disgust. “1 told you, you shouldn’t have married her. Such a person will only bring you endless trouble. How can she be worthy of the Li family?”

“I didn’t say I wanted to marry her.”

Li Zhongjin answered casually as he walked to the parking lot.

“Then why did you fight with me previously? Without your father and my consent, you got engaged to her, brought her home, and even quarreled with me in front of her. You even said that you wanted to cut ties with me and move out of the family.”

Zhen Yishu complained, “If you weren’t so determined, would I have allowed her in our house?” 𝑓𝑟𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮

“I didn’t expect you to be so unprincipled, Mom.”

Li Zhongjin seemed to be very satisfied with his performance that day. “I was just putting on an act, but you panicked when you saw that 1 threatened to cut off our relationship. Not only did you agree to transfer the shares to me, but you also really treated her as your future daughter-in-law.”

“Acting?”

Zhen Yishu was stunned. “Are you saying that you’re not serious with that woman at all?”

“What else? You think I’m actually going to throw away my reputation and marry her?”

His expression was a little contemptuous. “In the future, when 1 have a firm foothold in Zhen Group will she be able to guide me?”

She was just a chess piece. Xu Meixi just happened to be in his line of sight when he needed her.

“Then why did you get engaged to her…”

“If you didn’t agree to give me the shares under your name, would 1 have been able to join Zhen Group?”

Li Zhongjin snorted. “You as well. You didn’t agree to my request, but you forced me to come up with such a move.”

Zhen Yishu understood what was going on and was overjoyed. “I knew it. You’re my son, so how could you not weigh what is more important?”

She thought of something and was a little annoyed. “Since you’re not taking that woman seriously, why did you insist that 1 bring her to see Mother with you? You even took the initiative to prepare the medicinal herbs and insisted that she make ginseng soup? Now that we’ve caused such big trouble, what should we do…”

“It might not be a bad thing.”

Li Zhongjin said gloomily, “Old Lady Zhen invited a bunch of the company’s old employees to the Zhen family’s residence for a meal a few days ago. She wanted to personally vouch for Zhen Zhu. Now that she needs to recuperate, she can’t help Zhen Zhu anymore.”

No matter how slow Zhen Yishu’s reaction was, she understood something after thinking about it for a while.

She looked at her son in disbelief and stuttered, “Y-you did it on purpose?

That’s your maternal grandmother. H-how could you…”

“What did Mom say earlier?”

Li Zhongjin had already gone and opened the car door at the front. Then, he said with a fake smile, “This was all an accident from the beginning to the end. Xu Meixi is the one who caused this accident, and I’m also a victim.”

Zhen Yishu was dumbstruck. Her lips moved, but she couldn’t say a word..
