Chapter 285: I Like You
Just as she was fiddling with her phone, an impatient growl sounded from afar—
“Are you done or not?”
Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow, when another familiar female voice sounded.
“I’m not done? Gu Zeyan, don’t you think you’ve gone overboard? In order to be linked with Shen Qianrou, you deliberately concealed our relationship. You said that you wanted to hype up your popularity. I trusted you once, twice, three or four times, but I can’t always trust you! She suffered today and you want to seek justice for her? You even implicated an innocent person…”
“How many times have I told you? We’re just classmates!” Even though Gu Zeyan lowered his voice, his angry growl shocked Shen Fanxing.
“Don’t treat me like a fool!” Pei Yaochi’s voice turned sharp. “Do you think I don’t know that the production of that major drama invested another 10 million yuan after you confirmed that you would accept the third male lead without any conditions? You invested extra because you wanted Shen Qianrou in the production as well?”
“You investigated me?!”
“Ha, do you know that you still have another movie to film? Not to mention 10 million, even 100,000 yuan isn’t a small sum to us. We’ve been preparing for two years and now you’re suddenly taking out 10 million yuan to buy a role for Shen Qianrou!”
“Gu Zeyan, what’s the use of doing so much? She’s just using you! Doesn’t her fiancée have money? The mighty Su Corporation and Su Heng couldn’t afford a mere 10 million yuan? Because of you and your generosity…”
“Shut up! Pei Yaochi, stop this right now before you go too far! If you want to stay by my side, behave yourself. If you continue to be unreasonable, leave right now! I didn’t beg you to stay with me. To be honest, I’m very annoyed too!”
After Gu Zeyan’s bellows, there was a sound of a car door slamming and the black car sped towards the entrance.
Shen Fanxing walked down the stairs with a cold face. Indeed, Pei Yaochi was still standing there, a lonely woman abandoned by Gu Zeyan.
Shen Fanxing had never bothered to worry about others, but seeing the woman standing straight at a corner, something tugged at her heart.
She could vaguely catch a glimpse of herself back then. No matter how painful and pitiful she was, she didn’t shed a single tear.
Perhaps Pei Yaochi had heard footsteps, she looked up and her eyes shone when she saw Shen Fanxing.
Because of her stubbornness, she didn’t appear too pathetic.
“Are you here to pity me?”
Shen Fanxing smirked and quipped, “You’re thinking too much. There’s nothing to pity about you and I don’t have the time or energy to pity someone unrelated to me.”
Pei Yaochi gave a cold laugh and said, “You’re indeed not likable. You can’t blame everyone for liking your sister.”
“I don’t have the ability to be like her. Besides, I don’t want everyone to like me. It’s hard to find a person’s heart that is true! To possess a person’s heart and have it forever is the only thing I’m pursuing now. And it’s something I’ve been pursuing all my life.”
“To possess a person’s heart and have it forever…”
Pei Yaochi gave a contemptuous chuckle.
Shen Fanxing seemed to read her mind and she continued, “That is, if that person is your beloved.”
Pei Yaochi was silent for long before she took a deep breath and looked at Shen Fanxing cautiously.
“Why are you looking for me?”
Shen Fanxing remained nonchalant as her gaze landed on her. The casual atmosphere changed and everything became quiet—
“I like you.”
