Chapter 28: Chapter 28: I'll Count You as a Man for Once!
"Bastard, if you want to die, fine, but why drag me and Yueyue into this!"
When Han Xinyan saw Shen Fei pick up Shen Jiayue, she shouted angrily. She mistook the items in Shen Fei's room for raw materials for drug production. Once she thought that, everything seemed to make sense. The 500,000 yuan could very well be money Shen Fei received from Jiang Tiancheng for investing in his drug-making operation. As for the talk of the jade Buddha pendant, that was all a lie!
This scoundrel was a habitual liar, his nature was hard to change! And Jiang Tiancheng, who had a promising future, was throwing it all away to conspire with Shen Fei? Wasn't that insane?
"Mom, don't yell at Daddy! Yueyue is scared!" Shen Jiayue shivered and cried out, frightened by the sudden scolding.
Shen Fei was equally confused, not understanding why Han Xinyan was saying such things.
"What... do you mean?" he asked.
"What do I mean? Shen Fei, the divorce agreement is on the table. Just sign it! Once we leave, it will have nothing to do with you. You can do whatever you want! Making drugs? You've really got some nerve! But right now, you need to obey the law and be a clean person! The 'deal' at Yongxing Fang? Hah, I won't believe your lies! It's just some shady business!"
As she got angrier, Han Xinyan's eyes turned filled with hatred as she looked at Shen Fei.
Shen Fei, however, was stunned. Drugs? Shady dealings? Obeying the law? He couldn't believe what he was hearing. This misunderstanding was growing worse by the minute.
Han Xinyan, meanwhile, thought she had uncovered Shen Fei's scheme, and her anxiety increased.
"Am I right? Are you going to silence me too? Kill me and Yueyue? Fine, I've had enough! If you don't kill me, I'll report you as soon as I get the chance!"
Han Xinyan shouted hysterically, tears flowing silently.
Shen Fei suddenly smiled lightly, his expression filled with a bit of amusement as he looked at Han Xinyan.
"Ayan, you've watched too many TV shows! Silencing people? Do you really think I'm making drugs? Let me tell you, I, Shen Fei, used to be a terrible person, but I still know what the law is!"
He didn't give Han Xinyan a chance to respond.
"That 500,000 yuan isn't from some shady deal with Jiang Tiancheng, I actually found a bargain and sold it to him! Anyway, look at this piece of paper. What kind of poison can these things make? A poison that can change your mind?"
With that, Shen Fei handed Han Xinyan a thick stack of papers.
Seeing Shen Fei so confident, Han Xinyan hesitated. Even though she still believed Shen Fei was a hopeless case, she reluctantly took the papers.
After flipping through them, though she didn't understand most of the contents, she recognized some of the materials, like calendula, cucumber extract, aloe, and other pharmaceutical substances.
For a moment, her expression became a bit awkward.
Looking at it this way, Shen Fei was indeed not making drugs.
But Han Xinyan didn't want to back down, so she coldly said, "So what? You turn this rented place into a mess like this, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Shen Fei gave her a faint glance and replied, "I'm trying to develop a cream to help you get rid of the scars on your body!"
"With these things? In this tiny rented room?"
Han Xinyan sneered coldly.
She understood that no matter how he explained, Han Xinyan wouldn't change her opinion of him. But he still nodded, "Yes!"
"Fantasy!"
Han Xinyan snorted coldly, then mockingly added, "Shen Fei, so what if you get rid of the scars on my body? The scar in my heart will always remain. Can you get rid of that?"
Shen Fei fell silent at her words. He knew no matter what he said, Han Xinyan wouldn't believe him, and would only add to her frustrations.
"Enough with this nonsense! In twenty days, I'll be free! By then, I hope you'll leave me alone. I won't bother you anymore! After I pack my things, we'll leave!"
With that, Han Xinyan turned indifferently and walked toward the guest room.
She quickly packed her clothes into a suitcase, then walked back out.
"Yueyue, we should go now."
At this moment, Han Xinyan didn't want to have anything to do with Shen Fei. She didn't even want to look at him.
"Mommy, Yueyue wants to stay with Daddy. Can we not go?"
Shen Jiayue looked at Han Xinyan nervously, her eyes full of unease.
"No, come down and go back with Mommy!"
Han Xinyan's voice was ice-cold.
Seeing Shen Jiayue's hesitant look, Shen Fei felt a bitter and helpless pain in his heart. It was all because of him.
He gently patted Shen Jiayue's little head.
"Yueyue, be good. Go back with Mommy first, okay? In a few weeks, Daddy will come and bring you and Mommy home. Then, the three of us will stay together!"
"Daddy, you're not lying to Yueyue, right? Is that true?"
Shen Jiayue blinked her big, wet eyes, looking innocent.
"Mm! When have I ever lied to Yueyue?"
Watching the interaction between father and daughter, Han Xinyan felt a sharp sense of irony. Especially after hearing Shen Fei's words, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
In twenty days, she would have no further ties with Shen Fei.
"Daddy, you have to come pick up Yueyue soon!"
Shen Jiayue's eyes were full of reluctance.
"Mm! Yueyue also needs to listen to Mommy, okay?"
Shen Fei pinched Shen Jiayue's little cheek.
Han Xinyan then grabbed Shen Jiayue's hand. Before leaving, she paused for a moment and said something from the bottom of her heart.
"Shen Fei, I'll count you as a man for once today!"
After saying that, Han Xinyan pushed open the door.
"Wait, Ayan!"
Shen Fei suddenly seemed to remember something and stopped Han Xinyan.
But Han Xinyan pretended not to hear and stepped outside.
"Wait, take this with you!"
Shen Fei quickly shoved a packaged laptop into Han Xinyan's arms.
"This is my compensation! I was wrong before, selling your computer."
Han Xinyan looked at him coldly and rejected without hesitation, "Thank you, but I don't need it."
Seeing Han Xinyan's stubbornness, Shen Fei decided to use his trump card.
"Fine, you don't want it? Then leave Yueyue behind! You go."
This was Han Xinyan's soft spot, and Shen Fei had always known it.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Han Xinyan's face tightened, and she immediately picked up Shen Jiayue, angrily taking the laptop from Shen Fei's hands. She was certain Shen Fei could do something like this.
"I'll figure out a way to return the 200,000 yuan from the police station to you!"
Watching the mother and daughter leave, Shen Fei felt a mixture of emotions.
Just as he was about to sigh, the phone in the room suddenly rang.
