Stealing Your Heart Chapter 487

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Shen Peichuan pushed Su Zhan. This guy was digging a grave for him.

Su Zhan waved his hands at Sang Yu. “I’m leaving now. Get Peichuan to bring you over more often.”

With that, he quickly got into his car and drove off before Shen Peichuan gets angry.

Shen Peichuan placed a hand on his forehead and explained, “Don’t mind him, he likes to spout nonsense.”

Sang Yu stood under the streetlights as she turned to face Shen Peichuan and said calmly, “I won’t take it to heart. I know who my enemies are. If not for you just now, I would’ve… Anyway, thank you. But I don’t want to see you ever again.”

She shrugged, saying, “Goodbye.”

With that, she turned around and left. She had taken a liking towards this matured and upright man. His charismatic personality made her feel at ease.

However, she changed her mind after her second meeting with him at the nightclub today. She felt that he was a hypocrite.

Shen Peichuan frowned. What have I done to offend her?

It wasn’t that he couldn’t accept Sang Yu’s attitude towards him, he just wanted to find out why she disliked him. Hence, he quickly caught up to her, “You don’t need to thank me. I wouldn’t have helped you if it weren’t for your mother. There are tons of people ruining their lives every day, so it’s not feasible for me to help everyone. Everyone has a choice on how they want to live life.”

Sang Yu stopped in her tracks and turned to face him. “My mother asked for your help?”

Her mother was the one person she held most dearly to her heart. Her heart ached every time her mother was mentioned.

Shen Peichuan saw through her even though she tried to act cool about it.

She thought she was doing a good job pretending to be nonchalant, but her eyes had betrayed her true feelings.

Shen Peichuan said, “Yes, she said you must be having a hard time making a living in the city. That was why she came to me for help. I’m not the type to meddle with other people’s business.”

He looked at her with a piercing gaze as he spoke, “As a girl, you should be warier of your surroundings. It’s not every time you get this lucky.” He paused before continuing, “Also, I don’t like it when people talk to me in a weird manner.”

Sang Yu pursed her lips as she stood there feeling at a loss of what to do next. She wanted to apologize but couldn’t bring herself to do so.

“Why did you come here?” Shen Peichuan asked.

He didn’t have any hidden agendas for asking. He simply felt responsible for her well-being since he had promised her mother he would look out for her. He was also aware that she must be having a hard time trying to earn a living as a college student.

Sang Yu lowered her head. “No reason.”

She had a dignity to maintain even though she had yet to land a job that could provide her with a stable source of income. All she could do at the moment was to work part-time jobs to feed herself.

Shen Peichuan didn’t push her for an answer. He knew she wanted to maintain her dignity.

He reached out. “Do you have a phone?”

“What do you want?” Sang Yu put her guard up instinctively. She widened her eyes and stared at him warily.

Shen Peichuan laughed and said, “You wouldn’t have been tricked if you had stayed vigilant. I just wanted to save my number on your phone so that you can call me whenever you get into trouble. Don’t look too much into it. I don’t have any hidden agendas. I just wanted to keep the promise I’ve made.”

Sang Yu hesitated to take her phone out. Shen Peichuan frowned. “You don’t believe me?”

The light from the opposite buildings shone in on Zong Jinghao as he stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows, whereas Su Zhan was sitting cross legged on the sofa with his eyes closed.

“Gu Bei will definitely get someone to verify what I just said. I need you to get someone to follow his men around and give them some clues from time to time.”

Shen Peichuan understood what he was getting at. He also knew exactly what he should and shouldn’t let Gu Bei find out. As long as Gu Bei believed Wen Qing had asked him to kidnap Cheng Yuxiu for his own benefit, everything would be going according to plan.

He also had to make Gu Bei believe that Wen Qing was the one that had caused Chen Qing’s current predicament.

Everyone knew Wen Qing and Chen Qing were good friends. If Wen Qing had anything to do with Chen Qing’s predicament, Gu Bei will definitely be convinced that Wen Qing was just using him all this while.

It will be interesting to watch their dog-eat-dog affair when the time comes.

“Leave it to me.” Shen Peichuan already had it figured out. He would give Gu Bei’s henchmen some fake news.

Zong Jinghao hummed in response. “Be careful. Don’t let him find out.”

“Understood,” Shen Peichuan said.

He watched Zong Jinghao’s figure from the sofa as he pondered whether he should asked Zong Jinghao to go easy on Wen Qing. After all, he was related to Lin Xinyan. However, he decided against it in the end.

He understood why Lin Xinyan left. She didn’t want to place Zong Jinghao in a difficult position because of her relationship with Wen Qing.

He kept his mouth shut since they had already decided on it.

“You guys can leave now,” Zong Jinghao said as he stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows.
