Shen Qieyi was not surprised to hear such an answer. If the other party did not want her to find him, he would naturally be fully prepared.
No longer holding any hope, she pulled Bai Jingyan’s arm. “Let’s go.”
“Fu Yao, you bastard.” Bai Jingyan cursed again. He did not have a good impression of Fu Yao, but at this moment, it had become disgust.
How cruel was he to cover up the truth as if nothing had happened after he killed a man?
Then his eyes fell on Shen Qieyi in front of him, her face was expressionless but her eyes were full of emotions. Her so-called calmness was just to cover up her emotions.
Bai Jingyan felt a little distressed and couldn’t help but ask, “I have the best lawyer here. If you need help, you can tell me.”
Shen Qieyi’s eyes were empty and she nodded. “When I find the evidence, I will make him pay.”
“What about the divorce?” Bai Jingyan asked, inexplicably disappointed and puzzled.
At this point, was she still not planning to divorce?
Shen Qieyi did not answer his question and only said, “Let’s go.”
They were about to leave when suddenly a surprised and familiar voice came, “Ms. Shen.”
Shen Qieyi only felt that his voice was familiar and stopped in her tracks. When she turned around, she saw a familiar face. Surprised, she asked, “Ye Yuan?”
The man called Ye Yuan came to her side with a smile and surprise. “Ms. Shen, long time no see.”
“Yes, long time no see. Why are you here?” Shen Qieyi looked at Ye Yuan in front of him. He was dressed in a suit, with glasses on his face. He was modest and polite, and he revealed that he was smart and capable. He was no different from the past.
The smile on Ye Yuan’s face did not change. “I am now President Lu’s secretary.”
While speaking, he looked around and said, “Ms. Shen, it’s not convenient to talk here. There’s a nice coffee shop outside. Why don’t we have a drink?”
Shen Qieyi nodded. While she was shocked that Ye Yuan suddenly became President Lu’s secretary, she also began to realize that he was the man around President Lu. If he was willing to help her, maybe there was still a turning point.
Then, she turned to look at Bai Jingyan. “Mr. Bai, thank you for today. If there’s nothing else, you can leave first.”
The fact that Bai Jingyan knew so much about her father’s death and the grudge between her and Fu Yao was not within her intentions.
Shen Qieyi did not want Bai Jingyan to get involved in this matter any more than he needed to.
After all, Bai Jingyan was not a good person. If this matter was exposed and used by some people, it would only get more complicated.
At the same time, it was also because she once heard to be vigilant with the Bai family. She had decided the Bai and Fu families were not somebody to mess with.
From the bottom of her heart, she still did not wish to obstruct Fu Yao at this point in time. After all, the longing in her heart made her still have a sliver of worry.
“Are you trying to drive me away?” Bai Jingyan was straightforward but not stupid. After understanding Shen Qieyi’s meaning, he frowned and asked, looking unhappy.
“You have helped me enough. I can handle the rest of the things. There is no need for trouble.” Shen Qieyi’s expression remained unchanged, but the faint look in her eyes had already explained everything.
Bai Jingyan could not help but feel stifled. He had helped her but ended up being driven away.
He nodded fiercely and said in a voice full of sarcasm, “Okay, I’ll go. I’m an outsider to you anyway.”
With these words, he took out the car key from his pocket and strode away.
Just as they were about to reach the gates, Bai Jingyan turned around and saw Shen Qieyi’s gaze on Ye Yuan. The two of them were conversing.
She did not notice him at all, nor did she try to persuade him to stay.
Bai Jingyan felt as though a breath of air had been blocked in his chest, but he couldn’t vent it.
After glaring at the two people who were talking, he left without looking back.
…
On the way to the coffee shop, Ye Yuan briefly described his situation.
“Before the accident happened to Shen Group, President Shen arranged me to be by Mr. Lu’s side. I am very grateful to him for not only promoting me, but also helping me arrange everything.”
“After Shen Group had an accident, I went to see him several times. Every time he told me that he only hoped that his family could be well and that he had nothing else to ask for.”
Wanting her family to be fine was the only thing she wanted as well. Unfortunately, her wish had been shattered now.
When the sad situation was mentioned, Shen Qieyi’s tears fell again.
She reached out her hand to wipe it, trying her best not to let Ye Yuan discover anything. However, all sorts of doubts arose because of the other party’s words.
When she was about to ask questions, they came to the cafe.
After sitting down, the waiter came forward. Ye Yuan asked for a glass of juice, and Shen Qieyi asked for a glass of water.
“Ms. Shen, I’ve heard about what happened to President Shen. I’m sorry.” Holding the cup, Ye Yuan’s expression was gloomy.
When he mentioned her father again, Shen Qieyi’s heart was already so pained that she could no longer feel anything.
She also knew that she had to be strong.
Sitting by the window, Shen Qieyi looked at the sky outside and said calmly, “It’s not an accident. I will definitely find out the truth.”
Her eyes were filled with sadness. She held back her tears and her eyes turned red.
Her determination to endure her pain was what made others feel more pained for her.
Shen Qieyi closed her eyes, suppressed the sadness in her heart, and asked, “Why did father suddenly arrange you next to Present Lu? Did he notice something before?”
Ye Yuan had always been his father’s right-hand man. He had been by his father’s side for more than ten years. How could he arrange him to Lu Enterprises without any reason?
Shen Qieyi’s doubts were quickly confirmed by Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan nodded. “President Shen had always been very careful. There are some things that he never wanted to touch, but in the end, he was set up by someone.”
“A month before Shen Group’s accident, I would always see him smoking in the office and hear his sigh. At first, I didn’t understand. Later, I thought about it and realized that at that time President Shen had already noticed that something was wrong, that was why he always had a lot of things on his mind.”
Upon hearing Ye Yuan’s words, Shen Qieyi also recalled that she had sensed something wrong with her father the month before the incident had happened.
There were several times when she saw her father secretly smoking in the yard in the middle of the night. When he smiled at her, his eyes seemed to contain reluctance.
Shen Qieyi felt guilty in her heart. Why didn’t she find out something was wrong earlier?
Even if she had realized it, she could not have stopped what happened. At least at that time, she could have stayed with her father and let him feel her warmth.
Ye Yuan also saw the change in Shen Qieyi’s expression. He could only comfort her from the side, “Ms. Shen, please accept my condolence. If President Shen was in heaven, he wouldn’t want to see you like this.”
“Don’t worry, I will.” Shen Qieyi nodded her head, picked up the cup and took a sip.
After confirming Shen Qieyi had calmed down, Ye Yuan hesitated and said, “President Shen gave me something before he was sent to prison. He asked me to give it to you at the right time, and now is the most suitable time.”
