Chapter 1768: It Was Merely Your Own Wishful Thinking
“Fight?”
Shen Zhilie chuckled softly, but his eyes turned slightly red. “If only it was that simple. That’s all. If she calls you, please let me know.”
“Sure.”
After Shen Zhilie hung up the call, he called Yu Lili.
Ye Qianqian didn’t have many friends. Other than her best friend, Fang Tongtong, her next closest friend was Yu Lili.
The call went through, but nobody answered, even though it rang a few times.
Shen Zhilie clutched onto his cellphone tightly. Yu Lili was also pregnant, so she was probably asleep.
However, this proved that it was likely Ye Qianqian did not call her at all. If not, Yu Lili would have been awake long ago.
As expected, Yu Lili quickly answered the call. Everything was like what Shen Zhilie had anticipated.
Shen Zhilie hung up the call with a sense of defeat. He allowed his colleague to treat his wound in whatever way he wished.
Fang Tongtong stood far away from Shen Zhilie. She watched him and was slightly afraid to approach him.
Shen Zhilie suddenly looked over at her. Fang Tongtong instantly felt her body tense up.
Her entire body turned rigid as she looked at Shen Zhilie.
Shen Zhilie stared at Fang Tongtong for a long time before he said, “Go back to Yun Town. You’ve caused enough trouble.”
He did not lecture her or blame her.
It was because of how obvious he was in distancing himself from her and how cold, determined, and unforgiving his tone of voice was that it made her feel a stifling sensation in her chest.
For the past few days, while Shen Zhilie was not warm to her, he did not show her such an attitude.
“I…”
“But I’m really curious. Aren’t you Qianqian’s best friend? Why didn’t you say anything when she was so angry earlier on? Based on the amount of trust that she has for you, she would believe you as long as you gave a word of explanation.”
Shen Zhilie was slightly sharp with his words. It could even be said that he was a little overbearing.
Fang Tongtong felt as though she stopped breathing. She was rendered speechless.
When Gu Yuansheng heard the commotion, he rushed over. He overheard what Shen Zhilie said the moment he arrived.
Upon hearing this, he immediately knew that things were not simple.
Just when he was about to speak up for Fang Tongtong, he noticed that half of Shen Zhilie’s face was slightly swollen.
It was red and swollen…
The words at the top of Gu Yuansheng’s mind remained stuck in his throat. He could only say, “Brother Shen, your face…”
Shen Zhilie’s eyes remained fixed on Fang Tongtong. He indifferently asked, “Did you say something else to her?”
Under such an aggressive interrogation, Fang Tongtong was at a loss as to what to do.
Rather, Shen Zhilie’s current behavior forced Fang Tongtong’s behavior to become half a beat slower.
“I…”
I did something bad again.
How can I tell him that? How could I say it…
“I did not. Qianqian’s character has always been like this. You’ve lived with her for such a long time, so you should know her very well. She has always been like this. She’ll be happy when things go her way, but when things don’t go according to her wishes, she’ll make a din.” Fang Tongtong looked at Shen Zhilie and minced on her words as she muttered out in a faltering voice.
Isn’t this the truth?
Yes, this is the truth.
“Qianqian is such a person. She always likes to kick up a fuss. If she can do this to you now, it merely shows that she doesn’t love you enough. Otherwise, why wouldn’t she listen to a word of explanation from you or believe you?”
Fang Tongtong looked at Shen Zhilie and spoke in an increasingly loud voice, “Although I’m her best friend, I still have to let you know that Ye Qianqian never thought about marrying you. Did you think that you will grow old together? Don’t be so naive. Everything is merely your own wishful thinking!”
