Chapter 297: 297, She just wants equality
Shi Yuhuan turned to look at them, “Can I help you with something?”
“Ah!” The pair was taken aback slightly,
Confronting this man, they didn’t know why, but deep inside, they felt an intense, overwhelming fear.
As if this man was a lofty god from heaven, and they were the lowest, muddiest scum on earth.
“There’s a café across the road, let’s talk there!” He said, grabbing Song Qinghuan’s hand and heading towards the café he pointed out.
Lu Meiyan and Song Qiliang paused briefly, exchanged a thiefish glance, and quickly followed. But all the while wondering, who was this man? What was his relationship with Song Qinghuan?
Song Qinghuan had come to know Shi Yuhuan’s coldness quite well. Having her hand yanked and dragged along by him, she couldn’t resist attempting to pull her hand back: “Shi Yuhuan, what are you trying to do? Let go of me first!”
Shi Yuhuan ignored her and continued to pull her along.
At that moment, Song Qinghuan didn’t know what was going on in Shi Yuhuan’s mind, but she really didn’t want him to look down on her, nor did she want him to know about her disgraceful mother.
Her pride and dignity only permitted her to stand as an equal when facing Shi Yuhuan.
When she found her voice again, it had a hint of pleading: “Just let me go, I don’t need you to interfere with my family’s affairs…”
“Shut up!” Shi Yuhuan interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.
His voice was neither loud nor quiet, his tone neither cold nor warm, his attitude neither attentive nor uninterested, but it was imposing and authoritative enough to make Song Qinghuan feel belittled.
A flash of embarrassment crossed Song Qinghuan’s face.
In the quiet coffee shop, Shi Yuhuan, Song Qinghuan, Song Qiliang, and Lu Meiyan each sat in their respective corners, while Chen Tian stood behind Shi Yuhuan.
The atmosphere inside the private room was chillingly silent.
Song Qinghuan sat motionlessly, occasionally sneaking glances at Shi Yuhuan. His profile looked particularly icy, and his facial muscles were tense. The whole room was filled with an eerie sense of danger.
Song Qiliang and Lu Meiyan also became somewhat cautious because of him.
They exchanged glances, then turned to Shi Yuhuan with a slight smile, “Although, you are Qinghuan’s superior at work, but our personal affairs really don’t need your involvement.”
Shi Yuhuan squinted his attractive eyes and glanced at Lu Meiyan, asking in a detached voice: “A million, right?”
“What?” Lu Meiyan opened her mouth in surprise, clearly uncertain of his meaning.
“Didn’t you ask her for a million? I’ll pay it for her,” Shi Yuhuan’s tone was as cold as his face, devoid of warmth.
“Ah,” Lu Meiyan paused again, blurting out subconsciously: “S…” 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Before she could finish, Song Qiliang pulled her back: “No, it’s two million!”
It was clear that Song Qiliang was the craftier one, more capable of reading the situation.
Shi Yuhuan remained silent, simply glancing at Chen Tian, prompting him to bring out a cheque.
Song Qinghuan couldn’t keep quiet any longer and looked at Shi Yuhuan angrily: “Who asked you to give her money! Don’t give her any!”
She would never forget the day Shi Yuhuan gave her a bank card. Now, him offering to give money again, was no different from that day.
Always cold to her, yet suddenly willing to pay money to Lu Meiyan and Song Qiliang for her, what was this all about?
Pity, sympathy, or compensation…
Lu Meiyan got angry, sprung up and yelled: “You ungrateful girl, what do you mean by this?”
