Zhao Jin did not dare to ask too much, but he guessed that the Lu Family must have offended him. He just asked, “To what extent should we go?”

“Just take it easy for now, give them a little lesson. Just make sure to hold up that doctor’s footsteps. Best if he’s too busy to manage anything else.”

Pei Yansi spoke coldly, hoping the doctor would be too busy to have any intention of looking for Shen Heyu again.

Shen Heyu was his, and nobody else could covet her.

Zhao Jin nodded, indicating he understood and then said, “Our collaborative project with Shen Group has been scheduled, and Miss Shen is personally in charge of it. The marketing director is having a meeting with her tonight.”

“What do you think, President Pei?”

Zhao Jing had been with him for many years and was always very capable. Of course, he knew about his currently very different attitude towards Shen Heyu, and such matters required reporting.

Pei Yansi glanced at him quietly, as if to say he was making assumptions but also as if to say he was doing a good job.

He said, “Tell the marketing director he doesn’t need to go tonight, I’ll go myself.”

Zhao Jin nodded, secretly relieved that he hadn’t made a mistake. He said, “Later, I’ll send you the address and the time.”

Pei Yansi nodded.

Something occurred to him, and he said, “Go check on the bar where Shen Fanshuang died, try to find direct and strong evidence.”

Zhao Jin let out a sound of understanding.

This matter dated back to almost ten years ago; looking for any clue now would be extremely difficult.

He did not know why Pei Yansi suddenly wanted to investigate. He had never done so before.

Pei Yansi raised an eyebrow, looking at him, “Any problems?”

“No, it’s just… it’s been so long, there might not be much hope.”

Pei Yansi said coldly, “That’s your problem.”

“Yes.”

Zhao Jin did not dare to say anything more and quickly turned and left.

Pei Yansi watched him leave and even considerately closed the office door behind him before he entered the lounge.

He remembered what Shen Heyu said yesterday.

The shirt she had given him had been thrown in the lounge. To be honest, he only remembered that there was such an event, but as for what the shirt actually looked like, he couldn’t recall it very clearly.

He went into the lounge, his eyes scanning the small space, but he did not see the shirt anywhere.

He opened the wardrobe, but also did not see the shirt Shen Heyu had mentioned.

However, after entering the lounge, he suddenly remembered what the shirt looked like. The memory flooded back; it was when Bai Sheng’er had gotten coffee spilled on her and had come here. Seeing that she had no clothes to change into, he had handed her one arbitrarily.

When Shen Heyu arrived later, she had just seen it.

At that time, he did not care about the shirt, thinking that since the supporting actress had already worn it, there was no need for him to take it back.

He also knew by then that it was a garment Shen Heyu had given him.

But he only felt disgust from Shen Heyu at that time, and he was unaware of the effort behind the shirt. He just happened to need a way to dispose of that bothersome garment.

Conveniently, after giving it to the supporting actress, he found a way out and later, he had the supporting actress to deal with the shirt herself.

Pei Yansi felt agitated thinking about this.

He now really wanted to find the shirt back and look at the little fish buttons, to see the design crafted by Shen Heyu’s own hands.

As he wallowed in his gloom, he spotted a box in the open wardrobe.

A gift box of sorts, white and adorned with a bow tied just so, the lid left ajar, with something inside faintly shimmering.

Pei Yansi furrowed his brow.

What was this?

He walked to the edge of the wardrobe door and bent down to pick up the box. At its bottom, he saw an envelope, held down by a small rhinestone button.

Pei Yansi found it strange; this thing had been here for many years, yet it seemed like he was seeing it for the first time.

Or perhaps, he had never paid attention to it before…

He had yet to open the envelope, but already felt his heartbeat inexplicably quicken. His fingers grasped the small button, flipping the envelope open.

Inside was nothing but a photograph.

He reached out and drew the photograph out.

In the photo was his university, a place he knew well, after all, it was his alma mater, featuring a very famous, robust tree on campus.

Beneath the tree stood him.

To be precise, it was him from over a decade ago, during his college days. Around twenty-two or twenty-three years old, clad in a white shirt and a pair of dress pants, standing there with a cold expression, his eyes even showing signs of impatience.

But the angle of the photograph was perfect; although it was evidently taken covertly, it somehow captured him looking more handsome, more radiant than in person, a pale moonlight youth whose mere sight could make countless women swoon.

This was him in college, and this box… it was the gift box Shen Heyu used to send clothes.

Meaning, this photograph was also sent by her back then, but because he had never paid attention to the things she sent, he never discovered it.

A sudden pang tugged at Pei Yansi’s heart, sending through a dense, sharp pain that was unmistakably clear.

His fingers trembled as he flipped the photo over, spotting a string of small print on the back detailing the date it was taken, along with a line of text.

“The hills have trees, the trees have branches.”

This was Shen Heyu’s handwriting, which he recognized.

So, was she paying attention to him since that time? He remembered back then Shen Fanshuang was pursuing him with fiery zeal.

He even knew that at that moment, he was feeling annoyed because he had received another love letter from Shen Fanshuang and was waiting for a classmate under this tree.

How could Shen Heyu have started harboring feelings for him since then?

He clearly remembered that it was two years later, upon his college graduation and as he prepared to accept Shen Fanshuang’s pursuit, that she began to entertain thoughts about him, and then… Shen Fanshuang died because of that…

Where did things go wrong?

Pei Yansi suddenly realized, perhaps he truly misunderstood something, and there was too much he did not know.

And this gift, she must have sent it harboring the desire to tell him everything, but he did not trust her.

Pei Yansi packed everything away, holding back the sour pain in his heart, and walked out of the lounge. Seated in his chair, he stared blankly at a photograph of Shen Heyu on his desk, lost in thought.

That photograph was only displayed after their divorce.

His mind adrift, he sat there, stagnant, the entire afternoon, until dusk fell, the time for his dinner meeting with Shen Heyu to discuss cooperation.

He pocketed the photograph, planning to ask her about it face-to-face.

Zhao Jin drove him to the venue, a restaurant, and by the time he arrived at the private room, Shen Heyu was already there.

Shen Heyu hadn’t expected him to be the one to turn up, and when he entered, her beautiful brows furrowed.
