Xu Tingyu didn't comment. She just smiled at Qi Shifeng and then walked downstairs.
Meanwhile, Shen Yan was sitting in the living room, playing with his phone out of boredom. Hearing the noise, he turned his head.
"Finally willing to come down? I was about to fall asleep from boredom."
Actually, given his personality, he wouldn't have waited there obediently. He should have left tactfully long ago.
But he couldn't stand seeing Qi Shifeng looking so smug.
So he deliberately stayed there to annoy him.
Because he knew very well that Xu Tingyu wouldn't leave him alone there for too long.
Xu Tingyu gave him a disdainful look and said, "I'm going to see Yaoyao. Do you want to come with me?"
Shen Yan of course wouldn't refuse. When he got up to leave, he even gave a provocative look at Qi Shifeng behind him.
His look was very smug, clearly saying: See, this is the consequence of offending her circle of friends before. You don't even have the qualification to show up.
No matter how angry Qi Shifeng was, he could only watch the two of them leave with his own eyes.
On the way to find Chen Chunyao, Shen Yan learned that she was sick but refused to go to the hospital. He couldn't help but let out a soft scoff.
"How old is she? Why is she being so melodramatic just because of a relationship? The body is her own. Does she expect the other person to feel sorry for her after she ruins it?"
Taking self - harm as a way to retaliate against the other person is the stupidest behavior.
Xu Tingyu couldn't help but hit his arm. "Don't talk like that. People tend to get carried away by their emotions when they're in love."
Although she didn't approve of this behavior either, she was Chen Chunyao's friend, so she would always stand firmly by her side.
Shen Yan knew that she had a good relationship with Chen Chunyao. In fact, towards her, she was like a "mother - type" best friend, wishing to give everything she had to the other person.
He should have gotten used to it long ago, but at this moment, he still couldn't help but comment.
"Tingyu, sometimes you should keep something back even from your friends."
He didn't have any prejudice against Chen Chunyao. He hadn't been holding a grudge about what happened when they were kids.
However, Chen Chunyao's personality and circle were different from Xu Tingyu's.
Not to mention Chen Chunyao's personality itself. Just the fact that she later entered the entertainment industry, a big dyeing vat, could she still stay true to her original self?
Xu Tingyu thought he was talking about her always spending money on Chen Chunyao and that she should be more reserved in this regard.
So she retorted, "What's there to keep back? There's no conflict of interests between us. She also spent money on me when I was in the most difficult time."
Back then, when Chen Chunyao didn't have much money either, she could transfer three million yuan to her without blinking an eye.
Now that she had money, what's wrong with buying Chen Chunyao some bags every year?
What Shen Yan meant wasn't about money. "She gives me a feeling. I can't quite put my finger on it. Anyway, I don't think her feelings for you are pure enough."
He himself wasn't completely pure towards Xu Tingyu either. No matter how well he concealed it, he knew very well that he had an ulterior motive.
Chen Chunyao gave him the same feeling.
But he loved her, so what he was after was her as a person.
What about Chen Chunyao? What was she after?
Xu Tingyu couldn't bear to hear his words. She quickly told him to stop. "Come on, I know you two don't get along. Were you secretly in love with her back then and got rejected?"
Otherwise, why had he always had a problem with Chen Chunyao?
He had had a problem with her since childhood, and it was different from the way he had a problem with her.
She and Shen Yan had been bickering since childhood, but Shen Yan never allowed anyone to bully her.
When she was bullied, he would immediately come out to get revenge for her.
But Shen Yan's feud with Chen Chunyao was somewhat cold.
Could it be unrequited love?
Shen Yan was so amused by her that he laughed. "In your eyes, am I that petty? Would I slander someone just because of unrequited love?"
"You underestimate me too much. I can take things up and put them down the most. If I really love someone, it's okay even if she doesn't like me."
"Destroying what I can't get is not my style."
Xu Tingyu also laughed. "Okay, okay, okay. I know Young Master Shen has a good reputation in love. It's my fault for not recognizing your true worth."
Shen Yan wanted to say something else, but in the end, he didn't open his mouth.
When they arrived at Chen Chunyao's house, the assistant had already been waiting at the door.
Seeing the two of them, the assistant quickly stepped forward and explained the situation.
"She's been drinking since yesterday. Then she cried for a long time. And she started having a fever in the middle of the night."
"At first, I thought she was just getting into character, so I didn't pay much attention. It was only when I went to bring her milk and couldn't wake her up that I realized something was wrong."
"We didn't dare to call an ambulance. We called a doctor to come to the house, but she refused treatment. Now she's locked herself in the room."
"I also called Fan Yi, but he didn't answer. I don't know what kind of conflict the two of them had."
The little assistant looked a bit exhausted, obviously having stayed up all night.
Xu Tingyu nodded. "I see. I'll go and have a look. Isn't Sister Chen here?"
The little assistant was a new one who had only been there for a few months, so she might not be that familiar with Chen Chunyao.
But Sister Chen had been with Chen Chunyao for many years. She should be able to persuade her.
"Sister Chen had to go to another place on urgent business. I also called her. She said she would buy the nearest flight back."
The little assistant's first call for help was to the manager.
It was the manager who told her to call Xu Tingyu.
As they were talking, they walked inside.
Before they reached the room, a vase was thrown out from inside.
Fortunately, Shen Yan was quick - eyed and quick - handed. He protected Xu Tingyu and stepped aside, so the vase didn't hit her.
"Get out, all of you! I don't want to see a doctor. Just let me die. Anyway, there's no point in living."
"Hahaha, saying that he loves me the most. It's all a lie. He just wants to get resources from me."
"How ridiculous. Am I really that unlovable? What on earth did I do wrong?"
"Why, why doesn't anyone love me?"
...
Chen Chunyao's hysterical voice came from inside.
Xu Tingyu immediately noticed something was wrong. "Has she been drinking again?"
"Yes. She took some fever - reducing medicine this morning and had improved a lot. But she drank quite a bit of alcohol when I wasn't paying attention."
"Now it must be more serious. Miss Xu, what should we do?"
The little assistant was already scared silly.
Xu Tingyu frowned and said to the person inside, "Yaoyao, it's me. Don't be afraid. Can I come in now? It's just me."
She raised her voice to soothe the emotions inside.
Soon, the scolding inside stopped.
Then, a disheveled person ran out bare - footed from inside.
As soon as she saw Xu Tingyu, she hugged her directly and cried out, "Wow."
"Tingyu, you're finally here. They all bully me. They all bully me. No one loves me. Do you love me?"
Xu Tingyu also hugged her and answered her very firmly, "Of course. I definitely love you, Yaoyao. We're the best of friends."
"Whoever bullies you, tell me. I'll never let him get away with it. Calm down first. Let's talk slowly, okay?"
