Chapter 104 It seems like an old friend has arrived
"Mr. Cheng, thank you for helping me out of that situation just now."
Yunzhi lowered her head slightly and used the gesture of tucking the messy stray hairs behind her ear to hide her red eyes, which were red from showing her emotions.
"It's okay. I just thought I saw you crying when the ribbon was being cut. I wonder if something sad happened to you."
Cheng Shuyan paused for a moment, then quickly realized that she had been a bit too familiar with him, since the two of them were at most strangers who knew each other's names.
A hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
Cheng Shuyan considered himself a person who knew his limits.
But today, Yunzhi has repeatedly done outrageous things.
Reason told him that he should stay away from Yunzhi.
But Yunzhi possessed some kind of magic that made him unable to resist getting closer and closer.
If he weren't a staunch materialist, he would probably doubt that he and Yunzhi had a special connection in their past lives.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your privacy. If it's inconvenient for you to talk about it, you don't have to."
Yunzhi quickly composed herself and smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that the scenery reminded me of some unpleasant things."
Cheng Shuyan, of course, wouldn't be so tactless as to ask what Yunzhi was thinking about, her mind heavy with emotion at the sight of the scenery.
"Everything will pass."
Yes, everything will pass.
The faint fragrance emanating from Cheng Shuyan calmed Yunzhi's restless heart, allowing her to return to her former self. Looking at the people bustling about in front of her, she subconsciously joked with him as she used to.
"Mr. Cheng, you were invited to attend the opening ceremony today as Mr. Chen's business partner. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to hide here and slack off?"
Cheng Shuyan remained silent.
Yunzhi turned her head to look at him.
He was looking at her with a gaze that Yunzhi couldn't understand.
"How did Miss Yun know that I have a business relationship with President Chen's company?"
Oh no! I let it slip.
Yunzhi's heart skipped a beat, and she was speechless for a moment.
She quickly adjusted her mindset and, instead of directly answering Cheng Shuyan's question, took the initiative to ask him.
"Did President Cheng and President Chen sign a confidentiality agreement for their collaboration? Do I know what kind of big deal it is?"
Cheng Shuyan quietly looked at Yunzhi.
Yunzhi didn't show it on her face, but she was inwardly pounding with anxiety.
Was she supposed to tell Cheng Shuyan that it was her past life who had heard him say it himself?
She dared to say that if she really said that, Cheng Shuyan would definitely contact a mental hospital to send her there.
"It's really not a big deal."
Cheng Shuyan smiled gently.
Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this; it seemed she had managed to fool them.
What she didn't know was.
The collaboration between Cheng Shuyan and President Chen is only in its initial stage. Not many people know about their cooperation; most people just assume that they are good friends.
But Yunzhi directly brought up their collaboration.
Could it be that Yunzhi lied to him? She wasn't the heiress of the overseas Yun family conglomerate, but a corporate spy? But she didn't look like it at all.
Cheng Shuyan also didn't want to think too badly of Yunzhi.
At this moment, neither of the two, preoccupied with their own thoughts, noticed that two familiar faces had walked in through the door.
Yu Baisu, dressed in white like a pure white flower, affectionately linked arms with Ye Chengyan, who was wearing a black haute couture suit.
Ye Chengyan had a cold and aloof expression, exuding an aura of indifference.
As soon as they walked in, many people subconsciously looked at Cheng Shuyan in the corner.
After all, Cheng Shuyan and Ye Chengyan hadn't had a very pleasant relationship over the past month.
If it weren't for the desire to avoid offending people, no one would want to bring these two scoundrels together.
"The night watchman is here."
"President Cheng is here too. I wonder if there will be a chaotic scene today."
"The nightclub's female companion is Miss Yu again. I wonder when we'll hear about their happy news."
"She's just an actress. She's been by his side for so long, and Ye Chengyan has never acknowledged her identity. How could he possibly marry her? In the past two years, the Ye Group has been declining. Ye Chengyan must be planning a marriage alliance."
The noisy discussion caught Yunzhi's attention.
Yunzhi turned her head to look at the door, and just one glance was enough to fuel her hatred.
Ye Chengyan! I never expected to see him here today.
His pretentious and shameful behavior is still vivid in my mind.
Ye Chengyan remains unchanged; his identity makes him a natural spotlight, making him the center of attention wherever he goes.
Does Yunzhi not resent the banquet held at night?
Of course I hate it.
If it weren't for Ye Chengyan, Tongtong wouldn't have died such a tragic death.
My brother wouldn't die in a car accident while protecting her.
Ironically, even though Yu Baisu had two lives on her hands, Ye Chengyan still couldn't distinguish right from wrong and made excuses for Yu Baisu.
Although it was Yu Baisu who harmed Tongtong and Cheng Shuyan, Yu Baisu wouldn't have dared to do it without Ye Chengyan's indulgence and protection.
Ultimately, Ye Chengyan was the root of all this tragedy.
Yunzhi hadn't wanted to argue before because she knew she was about to die and didn't want to waste time with these two people. But now it's different; she has plenty of time.
She would settle accounts with these two people for everything that had happened in the past, one by one.
"Does Miss Yun know Ye Chengyan?" Cheng Shuyan asked casually.
Yunzhi looked away. "I don't know him. I'm just curious whether his female companion is cold wearing a skirt in October."
Cheng Shuyan was surprised to hear this answer and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
His movements caught Ye Chengyan's attention.
When Ye Chengyan turned his head to look over, his gaze lingered on the woman in front of Cheng Shuyan.
Who is the woman in front of Cheng Shuyan?
He felt a sense of familiarity about it.
Ye Chengyan frowned. When Yu Baisu saw Yun Zhi, alarm bells went off in her mind. Although she didn't know her, she inexplicably felt that this woman was dangerous.
She's the kind of woman who needs to be 100% careful.
why?
When Yunzhi turned around, Yu Baisu got a clear look at Yunzhi's face.
Yunzhi's appearance once again made Yu Baisu feel a sense of crisis.
It's simply because she's too beautiful.
Even Yu Baisu, who is always proud of her looks, felt inferior to her.
A flicker of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
Especially when Yu Baisu saw that Ye Chengyan's gaze was completely drawn to that woman.
This vixen wasn't satisfied with seducing one man; she even tried to seduce her man!
Yu Baisu was never a magnanimous person to begin with, and now she was furious.
Yu Baisu tightened her grip on Ye Chengyan's arm.
She smiled gently and offered a timely reminder.
"Chengyan, don't forget what day it is today."
Ye Chengyan withdrew his gaze, feeling a headache coming on as he thought of his increasingly rebellious son. Yu Baisu comforted him.
"Let's just go through the motions and head back quickly. Today is Aze's birthday, and we promised Xiaoze we'd go back early to celebrate with him."
