Chapter 447: Negotiating with a Tiger for its Skin
Lu Yi looked up at Chen Wenzhou and in his eyes, he saw a cunning smile that sent a chill down his spine.
He had already come this far; there was no turning back for Lu Yi now. He could only wait, his scalp tingling with anticipation, for Chen Wenzhou to finish speaking.
"I can provide you with some evidence that proves last time’s incident was staged by Pei Yansi," said Chen Wenzhou. "Think about it, if Shen Heyu knew about this, how would she view Pei Yansi?"
Lu Yi’s hand, clenched into a fist on the table, suddenly relaxed. His gaze froze for a second.
"You’re right," Lu Yi said. "If Shen Heyu knew that Pei Yansi staged last time’s affair, she would absolutely hate him. No matter what Pei Yansi did or said in the future, she would never trust him again since Pei Yansi is someone who could take her life for a joke."
Chen Wenzhou’s words were a revelation to Lu Yi, who looked at Chen Wenzhou with great joy, as his difficult situation seemed to dissolve before him.
He stayed beside Shen Heyu and knew what was on her mind. She felt she owed Pei Yansi a favor, a debt of her life, so she couldn’t allow herself to treat Pei Yansi with the cold lack of feeling she had before.
But if the debt she thought she owed from the start was a joke, then that would surely push their relationship into a complete dead end.
Lu Yi’s furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.
He looked at Chen Wenzhou with surprise, but soon a hint of doubt crossed his mind.
