Shen Qingyue asked, “Have you ever been soft-hearted?”
Tong Jia laughed, “Only if he dies!”
Hearing this, Shen Qingyue felt relieved. Fortunately, there was no Stockholm syndrome involved. “How’s the lawsuit against him going?” she inquired.
Tong Jia replied, “We’ve already filed the lawsuit with the court; we’re just waiting for the legal process. I heard that Han Xu’s father is pulling some strings…”
“Do you want me to help you? If the Han family gets involved, winning the lawsuit might be difficult. They have been domineering for so many years; they surely have a lot of influence,” Shen Qingyue suggested.
“No need,” Tong Jia’s gaze was exceptionally determined. “No matter how much power and influence they have, I don’t believe they can cover up the truth! I’d rather spend my whole life, but I won’t let him get away with it!”
With that, Shen Qingyue stopped asking further questions.

Mr. Chi has gone abroad? It will take some time for him to come back?”
Mentioning Chi Ming, Shen Qingyue hesitated for a moment but nodded, “Yes.” However, Chi Ming had been gone for two days, and he hadn’t even given her a call. He used to want to contact her every day. Thinking about the events of their past life, she felt uneasy. Could it be that the accident couldn’t be avoided this time?
Looking at her, Tong Jia smiled, “You seem quite lost. Miss him, do you?”
Hearing this, Shen Qingyue quickly responded, “Miss him? Why would I? You’re thinking too much. It’s just that there’s a lot going on in the company recently, and I’m a bit tired. I might look like I’m feeling down.”
Tong Jia continued to smile mysteriously, “Is that so? I’ll keep it simple then. You explained it quite clearly.”
Shen Qingyue stood up, “I came here today mainly to confirm how you’re recovering. Since you’re fine, I’ll take my leave. I’ll see you another day.” With that, she immediately left.
Watching her leave, Tong Jia could not help but feel a sense of fleeing. It seemed that Mr. Chi would soon get what he wanted. It was nice; let the lovers be together peacefully.
Coming out of the hospital, Shen Qingyue drove back home, preparing to have dinner. Her phone rang; it was from Chi Ming. Just an hour ago, she had been wondering why she hadn’t heard from him. She didn’t expect his call to come so soon. She cleared her throat. “Hello? Not busy anymore?”
“Are you at home?” Chi Ming’s voice came through the phone, as pleasant as always.
“Yes, what’s up?” Shen Qingyue asked.
“Open the door,” Chi Ming said.
Shen Qingyue had a faint guess in her mind. Wasn’t he supposed to stay abroad for at least a week? Yet, he was back in just a few days? Despite her thoughts, she stood up and walked towards the hallway. She couldn’t help but ask, “You’re not at the doorstep, are you?”
Chi Ming did not answer.
Shen Qingyue’s hand rested on the doorknob, an unexpected sense of anticipation growing within her. But when she opened the door, her smile slowly faded. The hallway was empty, except for a bottle of candy standing on the floor. She picked up the candy bottle. “You didn’t come back, huh?”
“Yeah, I’m still in the gambling city, the business isn’t finished yet,” Chi Ming replied. It was a bit tricky, but he didn’t need to tell her about it.
Shen Qingyue leaned against the door. “So, what’s the meaning of this? Trying to surprise me?”
Chi Ming chuckled. “Zhang Jianci said that playing hard to get keeps the excitement alive. Afraid you might forget, have to tease your heart from time to time.”

Chi Ming asked, “So just now, were you hoping it was me?”
Shen Qingyue played with the candy bottle in her hand. “Guess?”
Chi Ming was confident. “I guess it was.”
Shen Qingyue retorted, “You’re imagining things! I wasn’t expecting anything.”
Chi Ming didn’t argue. They chatted for a while and then ended the call.
Strangely, Shen Qingyue felt a lot better. But early the next morning, she received a message from Tang Fangmo, asking her to have dinner together.
Since Yan Xi’s return, she hadn’t contacted Tang Fangmo. Now that it was confirmed that Yan Xi was Shen Jun’s biological granddaughter, Tang Fangmo wasn’t her cousin anymore. Shen Qingyue had avoided contacting the Tang family, not knowing how to face them. But she also knew that avoiding the situation wouldn’t solve the problem.
She didn’t waste words, replying directly: [Time and place.]
Afterward, she contacted a private detective to investigate her parents’ identities. Even though Shen Jun hadn’t found out back then, she still wanted to try.. She couldn’t just do nothing…
