Gu Hecheng's gaze landed on Shen Qianqian casually. Shen Qianqian was stunned for a moment before she turned around and waved at a nearby taxi.
Seeing that Shen Qianqian had gotten into the car, Gu Hecheng narrowed his eyes, turned the steering wheel, and quickly left.
Shen Qianqian was sitting in the back seat of the taxi. She felt sorry for the fare when the phone in her pocket rang.
"Qianqian, where are you? Let's meet."
"Yes. What's the matter? I just got off work. I'm a little tired after standing all day. If it's convenient, we can talk over the phone …" Shen Qianqian said casually as she put down her bag. He Yijia was stunned by her words on the other end of the phone.
He did not expect her to find a job so quickly when she said she would look for one last time. She even made herself suffer. He Yijia could not help but feel a throbbing pain in his heart.
"Qianqian, why do you make yourself suffer?" He Yijia said firmly. "Qianqian, as long as you successfully divorce Gu Hecheng, I will take care of you. I will take care of you for the rest of your life."
He Yijia's words made Shen Qianqian's heart skip a beat. However, his words sounded so sad that it made her feel helpless.
"Yijia …" Shen Qianqian's voice trembled, but she said firmly, "I know you mean what you say now, but I don't want to become a woman who is like a dodder flower. I have to learn to be independent. I will not easily entrust my future to anyone. Never."
Shen Qianqian's words made He Yijia's heart ache. He knew that she had suffered a lot in the past to make her say such things. He did not want to force Shen Qianqian anymore.
"Alright. Let's go out and have a cup of coffee." He Yijia smiled slightly. He was already thinking about what clothes he should wear to meet Shen Qianqian.
"Yijia, I …"
"By the way, you asked me to investigate Uncle and Auntie's car accident. There's some progress."
"Really?" Originally, Shen Qianqian wanted to refuse, but when she heard that her parents' accident had been solved, she immediately changed her mind. "Yijia, send me the address. I'll go there now."
After glancing at the text message, Shen Qianqian immediately asked the driver to turn around.
He Jia was already there when Shen Qianqian arrived at the retro café, which was lit up with a soft light.
"Qianqian, what would you like to drink?" He Yijia looked at Shen Qianqian with smiling eyes. Since he came back to China, this was the first time he sat opposite her so leisurely.
"American style is fine." Shen Qianqian sat down and asked eagerly, "Yijia, what did you find out about my parents' accident?"
He Yijia's smile froze when he heard this. He hesitated whether he should tell her.
"Yijia, just tell me directly. I'm already here. What can't I handle?"
Although Shen Qianqian said this, she felt a chill run down her spine.
He Yijia looked at her and sighed. "Uncle and Auntie's accident was not a simple car accident. According to the information we have now, it's almost certain that someone was behind it."
"Someone was behind it?" Shen Qianqian's mind seemed to explode when she heard this word. Her hand, which had reached out to get a glass of water, began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Yes." He Yijia held Shen Qianqian's hand and tried his best to calm her down. Otherwise, she might not be able to accept what he was about to say. "It was Gu Hecheng's men who did something to it."
"Bang!" Shen Qianqian looked as though she had seen something terrifying. She jerked her hand back and accidentally knocked over the glass of water beside her.
He Yijia was shocked. He quickly tidied up the water on the table.
Shen Qianqian looked at He Yijia in disbelief. She felt a chill run down her spine. Her lips were trembling so much that she could barely speak.
"How … How is this possible …"
He Yijia looked at Shen Qianqian, who was in a daze. He walked over to her, grabbed her hand, and squatted down. "Qianqian, I didn't believe it at first, so I didn't dare to tell you. But I confirmed it again. It's really …"
"I got it." Shen Qianqian finally interrupted He Yijia. She felt that she couldn't listen to him anymore.
Shen Qianqian let go of He Yijia's hand and said in a daze, "Yijia, I'm sorry. I have to go back first."
"Qianqian …" He Yijia grabbed Shen Qianqian, who was about to leave. He looked into her eyes sincerely and said, "I know that you're having a hard time now. My heart is about to break when I see you like this. Qianqian, if it's possible, let me take care of you. Stay by my side. I won't let you suffer any more grievances. I'll support you in whatever you want to do."
Shen Qianqian felt as though her head was about to explode. She looked at He Yijia's bright eyes, but she couldn't hear what he said completely. However, she understood the gist of it.
"Yijia, I'm sorry. I'm not in the mood to think about anything else right now. I'm really too tired." Shen Qianqian tactfully rejected He Yijia. He Yijia wanted to say something else, but Shen Qianqian's phone suddenly rang.
Shen Qianqian instinctively lowered her head. When she saw the caller ID, her expression turned gloomy.
He Yijia saw that Shen Qianqian was trembling violently, so he said to her, "Okay, I got it. Qianqian, I'll send you back first. I'm worried about you."
This time, Shen Qianqian didn't refuse and went back to the villa with He Yijia.
"I'll go back first." Shen Qianqian pushed open the car door and got out of the villa. He Yijia had a worried expression on his face, but he could only send her off to this point.
Upstairs, Gu Hecheng was like the king of the night. He stood in front of the window and looked disdainfully at everything that was happening downstairs. His eyes were like knives as he stared sharply at He Yijia's car that was driving away.
The sound of the door opening came from behind. Gu Hecheng turned around and saw Shen Qianqian coming in.
Shen Qianqian was stunned when she saw Gu Hecheng. She quickly looked away.
Ever since she heard what He Yijia had told her, she didn't want to see Gu Hecheng again. She didn't want to be in the same room as Gu Hecheng either.
"Stop right there! Where are you going? " Gu Hecheng questioned her sternly. "Shen Qianqian, you're really something now. You're even more capable than you were five years ago."
"You're not even divorced yet, but you're already hooking up with another man." Gu Hecheng walked up to Shen Qianqian, grabbed her by the shoulders, and pulled her in front of him. "Don't tell me you've already cheated on me?"
Gu Hecheng was about to explode with anger, but Shen Qianqian only turned her face away and curled her lips coldly. She even closed her eyes and refused to look at him.
Now, she doesn't even want to look at me?
Shen Qianqian's attitude made Gu Hecheng so angry that he wanted to break her slender neck.
