1779 Song Yanru’s Call

The man’s rejection was within her expectations. Chi Shuyan thought about it and decided to put herself first, for the sake of this man and the child in her stomach. As for Song Yanru, Chi Shuyan would contact Gu Yunzheng when the time came. She did trust in Gu Yunzheng’s abilities very much and believed that he should be able to deal with anything that might happen at the old Liang family residence.

It was a nice thought, but close to 3am in the middle of the night, Chi Shuyan received a call from Song Yanru. On the other end of the line, the woman didn’t stop crying as she pleaded, “Master Chi, can you help me one last time? I beg you, my right eyelid is twitching again tonight. I think something will definitely happen if I go there. Master Chi, I don’t believe in anyone else but you. Please, on account of our friendship, help me one more time.”

Chi Shuyan knew Song Yanru’s character quite well. If the other party really didn’t have a choice, she wouldn’t be begging so humbly and crying so hard. Her head hurt terribly.

Chi Shuyan didn’t agree. Song Yanru continued to cry pitifully and didn’t hang up.

During the incident at Dashan Village, Song Yanru had been calm, rational and strong-willed. She had changed quite a bit since then. In the end, under the other party’s coaxing and pestering, Chi Shuyan rubbed her temples and could only agree.

As soon as she agreed, the tall man next to her immediately opened his eyes and looked at her, making her feel especially guilty.

Song Yanru didn’t know what Chi Shuyan was doing. Seeing that she had agreed, she sounded very excited and grateful as she thanked her repeatedly.

Chi Shuyan felt uncertain under the man’s deep gaze. How could she care about Song Yanru’s gratitude? She said a few absent-minded words on the phone before she hung up.

Before she could explain to the man next to her, Qi Zhenbai withdrew his gaze and said in a deep and displeased voice, “Was it that Song woman whom you mentioned before?”

Chi Shuyan nodded honestly. “Mm.”

“She’s begging you to go to that d*mn variety show?” Qi Zhenbai said coldly without the slightest bit of warmth in his tone. If the lights were on right now, Chi Shuyan would see that there was no warmth in the man’s eyes, and his eyebrows were filled with cold hostility.

Chi Shuyan couldn’t see the man’s expression, but she could hear the displeasure and chill in his tone. She could only explain dryly, “Hubby, I’ll just… be gone for a few days. C City isn’t far from the capital. I’ll be back in five days. I’ll be fine!”

After a pause, Chi Shuyan quickly added, “By the way, the child is three months old. I’ll definitely take care of myself and the child!”

Chi Shuyan made a series of promises, but unfortunately, the man next to her was silent for a long time.

It could be said that Qi Zhenbai was very furious at that moment. Of course, most of his anger was directed at that Song woman. That woman knew that his wife was pregnant, but she still pestered her into agreeing. If that wasn’t selfishness, what was?

If his wife wasn’t pregnant, he might have been able to understand the other party’s pleading. However, the woman already knew that his wife was pregnant, so why was she still hounding her?

He could understand that the other party cherished her life, but if she really didn’t want to go on that variety show, she had other options, such as leaving the industry.

But this Song woman was extremely greedy. She didn’t want to leave the industry and offend someone in the process, so she hounded his wife into preserving her life; she didn’t care about the child in his wife’s stomach at all. Qi Zhenbai itched to kill such an extremely selfish woman.

Did that woman think her life could compare with his wife’s?

The more Qi Zhenbai thought about it, the more furious he became. The veins on the back of his hands bulged. Sure enough, there weren’t many good people in the entertainment circle.

Afraid that this man would bump into something in the dark, she hurriedly turned on the light. Unfortunately, all she saw was his back as he went to the bathroom. She did want to follow him, but it would be awkward if he was just going to use the toilet!

Actually, Chi Shuyan could understand the man’s anger; if felt like she was just being used by Song Yanru.

As for Song Yanru, she knew that Chi Shuyan was pregnant, but still begged her to go with her to the variety show. She valued her life too much and was selfish. She only thought about herself and didn’t once consider the child in Chi Shuyan’s stomach.

It made sense for Chi Shuyan’s man to be angry.

Her attitude toward Song Yanru had also changed because of this. If it were before, she would have been fine with helping a friend, as Song Yanru was someone worth making friends with. After tonight’s phone call, however, Chi Shuyan felt that there was no need for the two of them to contact each other anymore after this visit to the old Liang family residence.

Sure enough, there weren’t many pure and naive people in the entertainment industry.

How could Song Yanru have gotten to her current position without any tricks up her sleeve?

Chi Shuyan didn’t mind Song Yanru taking advantage of her, but she still felt a little uncomfortable. Besides, there was another reason why she had agreed earlier. She was about to go crazy from being stuck at home alone, so she might as well find something to do!

Putting the matter of Song Yanru aside, Chi Shuyan hurriedly thought of a way to coax Qi Zhenbai later.

The man returned to bed from the washroom not long after, and Chi Shuyan hurriedly lay on his chest. Although Qi Zhenbai didn’t say anything, he was afraid that the uncomfortable position would press against her stomach, so he immediately had her switch position so that she was sitting on top of him.

Chi Shuyan took in the man’s considerate action and her eyes were filled with a gentle smile. She called out gently, “Husband, you’re so good!”
