Shen Rou’s expression was awful. She was stunned for a while before gritting her teeth. “The Shen family isn’t as heartless as your Mo family. You can obviously help. That’s not a difficult thing for you. You did it because…”
Shen Rou glared at Qiao Mianmian and continued, “You did that for Qiao Mianmian, so you don’t care about the Shen family.”
“Ha.” Mo Yesi sneered. “The Mo Corporation has been suppressing the Shen Corporation for so many years, and it has also taken away many of the markets that originally belonged to you. Your father has long had complaints in his heart. The so-called family friendship between us is just a superficial relationship.
“If anything happens to the Mo Corporation, trust me, your father will be very happy. The Mo Corporation looking for the Shen Corporation for help? When the time comes, your father can dismiss us and just say he doesn’t have the ability.
“As for why I refused to help because of Mianmian, so what? My beloved woman has been bullied, and I have to pretend nothing happened and continue to call the person who bullied her a friend?
“Shen Rou, do you think you’re too important? Do you think I’ll forgive you over and over again on account of our years of friendship? Do you think you can be forgiven for anything you do to Mianmian?
“Even if we have many years of friendship, you’re just a friend. Mianmian is my wife. If you want to compare your importance to her, it can only mean that you’ve placed yourself in the wrong position from the start.”
Shen Rou was stunned. Hearing him say it so directly, her face went pale.
She seemed to have been hit by something heavy, and her body swayed.
He said that she was just a friend.
And Qiao Mianmian was his wife.
She’d misjudged Qiao Mianmian from the start.
He admitted so directly that he wasn’t willing to help because of Qiao Mianmian.
He could disregard the years of friendship between the Shen and Mo families for Qiao Mianmian.
Not to mention their years of friendship.
Shen Rou looked at him with a pale face and then at Qiao Mianmian, who was held tightly by him. Then, she suddenly smiled.
She laughed until her eyes were full of tears. “Yes, it’s all my wishful thinking. I thought that after knowing you for so many years, I’m different from others. No matter what, you won’t be too cruel to me.
“I was wrong from the start. So what if we’ve known each other for over 20 years? So what if we grew up together? So what if I’ve done so much for you? In your heart, we’re just friends.”
How ridiculous.
They were just friends.
Not even close friends.
But she actually thought that they had a better relationship than good friends.
She was just overthinking.
Now that he’d finally said everything, she finally knew how ridiculous she was.
“Mo Yesi, I really regret it.” Shen Rou’s tears were still streaming down her face, drenching her exquisite eye makeup. “How could I have liked you for so many years?”
She actually thought that as long as she insisted, he would be moved by her sooner or later.
Mo Yesi looked at her expressionlessly. “Is that so?”
