She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 113 - : Cocktail Party

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Cocktail Party

“Yes, according to President Pei’s instructions, everything has been taken care of.”

Pei Yansi nodded.

Zhao Jin then asked, “There is a business cocktail party tonight, is President Pei going?”

“The significance?”

“It’s a high-level cocktail party; there will be many attendees.”

Pei Yansi thought for a moment and nodded, then Zhao Jin added, “Then I’ll arrange a female companion for you.”

Pei Yansi said, “No need, I’ll handle it.”

Zhao Jin was stunned for a moment, but ultimately didn’t say much. After getting the signature, he left with the documents.

Before leaving, he closed all the doors of the office.

Pei Yansi glanced at the tightly shut office doors, took out his phone, and calculated the time before calling Shen Heyu.

Shen Heyu was busy in her office, having lots of work to deal with after just returning to the country. Thinking something might have happened to Yuexue, she immediately answered the call.

“Accompany me to a cocktail party tonight,” came the textured voice of Pei Yansi, like a babbling brook.

Shen Heyu frowned, “I’m not available. You know I have a lot on my plate.”

“I’ve arranged for someone to watch over Yuexue.”

“It’s not just about my daughter; I have work of my own.”

Hearing her refusal again, Pei Yansi’s brow furrowed. He was speaking to her with a good attitude, yet she was still continuously and firmly refusing.

He knew it, Shen Heyu, the woman, needed drastic measures.

His voice turned cold, “At six this evening, I’ll come to pick you up. Don’t let me not see you.”

By the end, his tone was commanding.

He didn’t give Shen Heyu another chance to refuse and hung up the phone.

Shen Heyu looked at the darkened phone screen, sighed in her heart; this man was as overbearing as ever. She turned off her phone and went back to work.

Thinking of accompanying him to the cocktail party as his female companion was out of the question.

By the time she finished work in the afternoon, Shen Heyu hurried, planning to visit Yuexue at the hospital first.

Just as she entered the elevator, she saw Shen Jiangli coming.

In the elevator, there were only Shen Jiangli’s assistant and Shen Heyu.

From the reflection in the elevator door, Shen Jiangli looked at her and said, “Are you free tonight? There is a business cocktail party that needs a female companion.”

“You mean to ask me?” Shen Heyu wasn’t a child; she clearly understood the implication of his words.

Shen Jiangli smiled, a flirtatious light in his peach blossom eyes, “Yes, Miss Shen, would you do me the honor?”

Shen Heyu thought it over, suddenly recalling the call Pei Yansi had made to her that morning.

Pei Yansi was often overbearing and commanding.

If he said he would come to pick her up, he definitely would, and she did not want to be his companion.

If she had to choose between him and Shen Jiangli, she would naturally choose Shen Jiangli because everyone in this circle knew she was just an employee of the Shen Group, and accompanying Shen Jiangli to the event wasn’t odd.

But Pei Yansi was different.

For years, Pei Yansi seldom had any women by his side, except perhaps previously Meng Ru, who was now nowhere to be seen. Suddenly appearing by his side, how could she withstand the surrounding gossip?

If she was already attending the cocktail party with Shen Jiangli, that man would have no way to interfere, would he?

While Shen Heyu was weighing her options, the elevator reached the destination.

Stepping off the first floor, Shen Jiangli smiled, “So, what do you think?”

Shen Heyu nodded, “I’ll go with you.”

“Alright, I’ll take you to buy a dress.”

Shen Heyu did not refuse.

She followed Shen Jiangli into the car and noticed a black Bentley parked by the roadside, its license plate number more familiar to Shen Heyu than to anyone else.

She frowned, knowing it was Pei Yansi. She pretended she saw nothing and got into Shen Jiangli’s car.

The driver was at the front, and the two of them took the back seat.

Once the car door was closed, Shen Jiangli asked, “How is Yuexue doing now?”

“She’s doing well. The surgery is already done, and after the rejection period, she’ll be fine.”

As soon as Shen Heyu finished speaking, she felt her phone vibrating in her hand.

She looked down and saw that familiar string of numbers. She hadn’t saved Pei Yansi’s number, but those eleven digits were etched in her memory, even without storage she knew who it was from.

Shen Jiangli glanced over and asked, “Why don’t you answer?”

Shen Heyu hung up directly, saying, “Unknown number. I don’t answer those.”

“You’re still the same as before, with a strong sense of self-defense.”

Shen Jiangli joked as the car slowly drove off.

In the Bentley behind them, Pei Yansi watched the hung-up call, his face darkening.

She dared to hang up his call in front of Shen Jiangli? Or was it because she was worried that Shen Jiangli would see her connection with him and get a bad impression?

The more Pei Yansi thought, the angrier he became, gripping his phone so tightly he almost couldn’t restrain himself from smashing it.

Zhao Jin in the driver’s seat felt the low pressure coming from the back seat and did not dare say more than half a word.

After a while, it was Pei Yansi who first spoke, “Have you found a female companion?”

“I’ve contacted some…”

“Just call anyone over.” Pei Yansi coldly said, then remembered something and added, “Make sure she’s clean.”

“Yes.”

Zhao Jin did not really understand. Under circumstances like this, if there was no female companion, he could simply choose not to go, but he still wanted to go. Why?

Pei Yansi coldly watched as the scenery outside the window slowly moved backward as the car drove away.

He of course had to go!

He wanted to personally see how Shen Heyu was with Shen Jiangli; he invited her to be his companion, and she had refused, instead going to Shen Jiangli’s side.

He sneered, good for her.

At 7:30 p.m., the party began promptly.

Shen Heyu, dressed in a black evening gown, followed Shen Jiangli inside. They occasionally met some business colleagues who greeted them, all aware she was just an employee of Shen Jiangli, they complimented, “President Shen has such a capable and beautiful employee, truly enviable.”

Shen Jiangli smiled and clinked glasses with them, “Boss Zhao, you flatter me.”

Another person said, “We are just telling the truth. The contributions Director Shen has made to the Shen Group overseas in recent years are well known in our industry.”

“That’s right, President Shen, no need to be modest.”

Shen Jiangli smiled and remained silent but then leaned closer to Shen Heyu’s ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear, “What do I do, they’re all praising you, overshadowing me.”

Having grown up in the West since middle school, Shen Jiangli had a more open mindset. Over these six years, Shen Heyu, too, was overseas and didn’t find his actions inappropriate, and more importantly, they were too familiar with each other for anyone to think otherwise.

Shen Heyu naturally said, “How about President Shen gives me a raise?”

As soon as her words dropped, a cold male voice came from behind, “Shen Heyu?”
