Chapter 408: Chapter 408

This action deeply made Shen Jian妮 feel annoyed.

What does that mean? Dislike her for being too troublesome, right?

But no matter how annoyed she was about it, deep down, Shen Jian妮, who never understood what conscience was, felt a bit inexplicably embarrassed...

Looking at the clothes, she really didn’t know what to say.

He Qimo didn’t seem to think much about it either. He walked to the restroom for a look, confirmed that the clothes were basically ruined, sighed lightly, and took out his phone to call Liang Xi.

"Hello... Uh-huh, uh-huh, please go get some clothes in my size from spring to winter... Yup, they’re all ruined, need them all."

After hanging up, He Qimo walked over to Shen Jian妮.

With both hands in his pockets, looking at her, Shen Jian妮 inexplicably felt... He Qimo didn’t seem so annoying and was rather handsome.

He Qimo paused for a moment, took out his wallet from his pants pocket, then pulled out a card and handed it to Shen Jian妮.

The way he pinched the card was even more handsome, Shen Jian妮 was stunned, "What does this mean?"

"Aren’t you out of clothes too? Go to the mall and buy yourself some. I won’t restrict your freedom, but don’t go running around, let the butler accompany you in and out."

He Qimo spoke very calmly.

In Shen Jian妮’s eyes and deep down, waves of heat surged up, "Me?"

"Yes." He Qimo nodded, looking at Shen Jian妮, who was lowering her eyes to take the card, while thinking about what Liang Xi said to him at noon.

To be honest, he didn’t want to think about any emotional matters anymore. It seemed like he had always gone through life amidst emotional difficulties, and maybe fate never intended for him to have a relationship, or perhaps it deemed him undeserving, which is why he has been tormented continuously.

But he had his thoughts, and Liang Xi’s words made him ponder for a moment.

At this moment, watching her clearly just got out of bed, accepting the card with a smile she couldn’t hide.

He faintly contemplated in his heart.

She probably likes money more, doesn’t like him, right?

He subtly exhaled with relief.

That’s fine, at least if anything happens, when the time comes, there won’t be anyone left in the world to pay back, no debts between each other, that’s nice.

While He Qimo was deep in thought, Shen Jian妮 gazed at the gold-plated black card in her hand, and couldn’t help but drool.

Money... there must be tons of money in here, right? Despite having some money herself, she falls far short compared to He Qimo, and this card is a black card, which means she can buy anything she wants!

Geez, if she’d known that doing one thing could earn this treatment, she would have come to keep him company ages ago! Any position is totally fine!

Shen Jian妮 turned the card over and over in her hand, finding it somewhat unbelievable, clutching it closely in her chest, she looked up and disbelief crossed her face as she asked him, "Really, anything I want to buy I can buy?"

He Qimo was momentarily speechless, feeling both amused and helpless, "Just don’t go swipe for a building, buy a piece of land, or order a plane."

After pausing, almost as if in doubt, he glanced at Shen Jian妮, whose eyes brightened at his words, and his brows furrowed, "You wouldn’t actually want those, would you?"

In a flash, Shen Jian妮 rolled her eyes, "Do I not know my place!"

Looking at those shirts, she merely just had a thought...

But He Qimo pursed his lips, remained silent, only using his gaze to express four disdainful words, "Can’t compliment."

Receiving the disdain, Shen Jian妮 gritted her teeth in frustration.

After giving the card, He Qimo had nothing else to do, thinking about seeing the investigation result at the branch office, and the unfinished matter. Then recalling the need to go downstairs and see how to deal with his mom’s face, after all, this time they played... really a bit...

With a headache, He Qimo rubbed his brows for the third time.

Picking up his suit jacket, he said, "I’m leaving then."

Shen Jian妮 uttered an "Uh-huh," not planning to go downstairs to see him off either.

Nonetheless, when He Qimo turned the doorknob, about to leave, she suddenly thought of something, and said, "Wait."

She said, "You should still come back to sleep at night!"

Instantly, He Qimo was stunned with wide-open eyes.

For someone with usually a cold expression like him, lately he’s had the addition of surprised, angry, annoyed, low laughing, amused, frustrated, and more feelings, already enough!

Shen Jian妮’s light words added another term to the dictionary of his expressions in big letters, "Stupor!"

He Qimo, with a shaky voice, said, "What did you say?"

Pinghu District suburban villa.

Following Mr. Liang’s words, Feng Chengjin remained deeply silent and cold.

Mr. Liang paused, then laughed helplessly, "Such a gesture from him should feel heroic to others and require thanks or gratitude. But for you, it’s not necessarily a good thing, is it?"

Feng Chengjin scoffed coldly, "He did all the good deeds, erased everything he ever did, is that supposed to be a good thing?"

Especially whether he succeeds or not, I still have to thank him, Feng Chengjin found it ironic.

Rubbing his brow, Feng Chengjin walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with the phone, watching Demon and Angela playing and wrestling on the outdoor lawn, slightly grown-up now, he pursed his lips in silence.

Mr. Liang paused, then sighed lightly on the other end, "No choice, the entanglement and fate between you are so deeply intertwined. One wrong step leads to another wrong step. Anyway, you handle it first, there are more important matters that need to be dealt with now, the right and wrong of these may have to wait, if there comes a day when explanations to Miss Gu are necessary, don’t mind my old age and unclear speech, I’ll still help you with the necessary arguments."

Hearing this, Feng Chengjin’s heart was touched lightly.

For a moment, a part of his emotions seemed to soften.

Pausing for a while, he said, "Thank you Mr. Liang, but no need, as you mentioned, some rights and wrongs can be postponed, it’s not at that point now, perhaps... it’s not that bad, there’s still a chance for reversal, who knows."

The softness of heart and tone, coupled with extraordinary intelligence and thoroughness, made Mr. Liang understand he was actively remedying things, putting aside his heart and hopelessly smiled, "You, always too kind-hearted, no matter how big the harm, as long as the other side lets go, you can disregard it and even help whitewash the peace."

Feng Chengjin laughed, "Not that great."

Leaning against the glass window, he looked at the white clouds outside, "I’ve made my mistakes too, and why should all involved be her, knowing the truth from their side will hurt her, knowing the truth from my side will hurt her even more, she has suffered for eight years, why would I make her more miserable? A man protects his wife and children, the primary thing is not to let her cry, right?"

In an instant, Mr. Liang on the other end pondered for a moment, and after a while, sighed softly like he understood everything about life, sweeping through the fleeting silhouette, said, "Yes..."

Gu Zixuan received Yu Wei’s call after returning from throwing out the trash.

Upon hearing the news of Mr. Liang’s hospitalization, Gu Zixuan couldn’t help but chuckle, "So, Mr. Liang died elegantly under the peony blossom, huh?"

Yu Wei listened to Gu Zixuan’s teasing, thinking about the rumors she heard today about last night’s events, felt both angry and annoyed, "Do you have a heart, woman! What happened last night! Shen Jian妮, Zhou Xiao, one big and one small bitch were both present, and you didn’t even call me! You weren’t hurt by them, were you?"

Thinking of meeting Shen Jian妮 before leaving after the meeting last night.

Gu Zixuan laughed, "Nothing much, Zhou Xiao left angrily, I’m fine, and nowadays almost everyone in the circle acknowledges me with Feng Chengjin, it’s like a blessing in disguise, as for Shen Jian妮..." Read complete versıon only at novel·fiɾe·net

Gu Zixuan paused, lips curling into a smile, "She seems a bit different from what we imagined."

"How different?" Yu Wei replied, unconvinced, "Isn’t the little bitch who made He Qimo buy her a sports car, provoked you in front of everyone, claimed she was pregnant, and caused a scene when you were hospitalized, her?"

Regarding Yu Wei’s forever indignant and always eager to defend her.

Gu Zixuan smiled deeply, but thinking of last night.

Gu Zixuan’s thick and curled eyelashes trembled slightly.

Eyes bowing like crescent moons captivating people into her depth, "It’s her, she’s a bit... not quite like us, but on the whole, doesn’t seem a bad person, we have quite a few misunderstandings between us."

Gu Zixuan: "Last night..."

After the banquet ended last night, people left in pairs or trios.

Many at the venue greeted Feng Chengjin and He Qimo.

She and Shen Jian妮 stayed in a remote place as they both disliked the crowd.

At that moment, Shen Jian妮’s sudden change in attitude was such a big help to Gu Zixuan.

She felt mixed emotions inside.

On one hand, it’s impossible to forget all the provocations and irritations Shen Jian妮 caused her.

But facing such a tremendous challenge in her life, the person who helped her the most.

Knowing the principle of repaying favors and retaliation, Gu Zixuan understood.

Therefore, even though identity and disputes felt awkward, and honestly, not entirely willing from her heart, she still stepped forward, first saying, "Thanks for tonight."

Unexpectedly, Shen Jian妮 glanced at her and said, "..."
