The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy - Chapter 1194 - 1194 Sincerity
1194 Sincerity
She had been here, and she had finally seen the two books.
Lu Huaiyu’s grip on the candy box tightened as he called out again, “Ah Li?”
The place was so quiet that he could even hear his own heartbeat.
A moment later, he finally lifted his legs and walked forward.
When he arrived in the living room, he put down the candy box and picked up the painting.
This was probably a new painting that she had just finished.
So this was the thank-you gift she was talking about.
He put down the painting and looked to the side.
The two books were quietly placed there, neatly arranged.
He picked up the book “The History of Time” and found the hand-drawn portrait.
This was not the page where he had placed the drawing earlier.
He did not need to look at the other book, she must have already read it.
Lu Huaiyu sat down on the sofa with his elbows propped up on his knees. He stared at the two books and the hand-drawn portrait intensely.
The sky outside the window was a little gloomy. He sat there quietly, his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of loneliness.
She had seen it.
In that case, she must already know…
The book that she had lost had always been with him.
They had met each other back at Yanhui Mountain during the car accident.
And he had already had feelings for her since that moment.
But…
Had she left immediately after seeing this?
He took out his phone.
There were no new messages in the dialog box with her.
Lu Huaiyu lowered his eyes.
He had imagined many times how she would react when she saw these things.
But he had never thought that it would be like this.
She had not had any reaction.
There was no curiosity, no questioning, nothing at all.
Lu Huaiyu opened the conversation window with her, then his well-defined fingers landed on the screen but then paused.
It was rare for him to be like this… He did not know how to start this conversation with her.
It was windy outside.
He looked out of the window and saw a few drops of rain falling on the window.
It had started to rain.
…
Jingye Villa.
After she finished speaking, Yu Yu walked into the villa, as if she did not care whether Shen Li would turn around and leave or not.
Or, perhaps it was because she was certain that Shen Li would follow her in.
She walked to the living room and sat down on the leather sofa before turning around to look.
Shen Li stood at the door and took out her phone.
As if she sensed Yu Yu’s gaze, Shen Li swiped with her thumb and showed her the phone, her expression cold.
“It’s 3:29 pm. I’ve arrived within the stipulated time that you set. It’s time to give me my mother’s painting.”
Yu Yu chuckled.
“This only means that you’re here to make a deal. I haven’t even told you the specific conditions yet, and you’re already thinking of taking the painting? Shen Li, aren’t you being too calculative? Haven’t you earned enough from “Chasing the Light”?”
When she mentioned this, her words still did not conceal her resentment.
Shen Li put away her phone and looked at her for a moment before she finally walked in.
She stood in front of Yu Yu and said, “I have to go to the laboratory to deliver something later, so please hurry up. If you have any requests, just state them clearly in one go.”
Yu Yu poured herself a cup of tea.
It must have just been brewed. When the green tea was poured into the bone china teacup, a white mist could be seen wafting in the air.
It was the end of October and the weather in the Capital was already quite cold.
“What’s the rush? Isn’t your mother’s painting more important than your delivery? ”
She poured a second glass and pushed it towards Shen Li as she spoke.
Shen Li finally sat down, and her eyes swept across the cup of tea in front of her. A hint of impatience appeared in her eyes, and she looked up at Yu Chen coldly.
“You’d better be clear on one thing: you’re the one making a deal with me. I don’t have much patience, and as for you… The Yu family probably gives you even less time, right?”
“You!”
Yu Yu’s expression turned extremely ugly as Shen Li’s words hit a nerve.
Yes.
On the surface, she seemed to be the one taking the initiative in today’s negotiations. She had asked Shen Li to come, so Shen Li just had to come.
But in fact, she was the one in a more urgent situation.
The Yu family was in a mess now. If she could not solve her current predicament as soon as possible, she would definitely end up in a very miserable state.
She managed to suppress the anger in her heart and said, “It’s simple. First, I want to cut off all ties with the Yu family. I have nothing to do with whatever they have done. Second, I need a sum of money, enough to support me in the future.”
Shen Li’s lips twitched, but there was no smile in her eyes.
“Yu Yu, I don’t think I need to remind you that your surname is Yu.”
Over the years, the Yu family had done too many dirty things, and among them, Yu Yu had once held a certain power within the Yu family. Naturally, she would not be able to escape.
Now, she was actually trying in vain to get herself out of it?
“That’s not something I need to consider. Even if you can’t do it, there’s still the Gu and Lu families, right?” Yu Yu sneered. “The Yu family has ended up where they are today because these two families are behind it, right? And all of this… Wasn’t it all for you?”
Ultimately, Shen Li was the main culprit!
If she did not need Shen Li’s help, she would not be patiently negotiating with her face-to-face.
“As for the money, I think it’s a simple matter for you. You used “Fantasy God Chronicles” to scam me out of so much money, so it’s time for you to spit out some!”
“You were the one who insisted on snatching up “Fantasy God Chronicles”, and now you’re forcefully pushing the blame onto me. That’s not right, is it?” Shen Li’s expression was indifferent.
Yu Yu was not listening to her.
In her opinion, the reason why she had ended up where she was today was all because of Shen Li!
“All you have to say is: do you agree or disagree?”
Shen Li looked at her, her eyes dark and cold.
After a moment of confrontation, she said, “I can make you a promise, but I have to see your sincerity…”
Yu Yu was taken aback, and he frowned.
“What do you mean by that?”
Shen Li’s lips curved into a cold smile.
“I’m already sitting here, but I haven’t even seen the person I’m negotiating with. How can a deal be negotiated like this?”
A flash of panic appeared in Yu Yu’s eyes.
“What are you talking about? Didn’t I already explain the conditions to you clearly?”
Shen Li looked around.
“It must be uncomfortable for you to be alone in such a big villa. But it’s hard to say. After all, there must be something more appealing that you would come here without even attending Old Master Yu’s funeral.”
Yu Yu’s face was a mixture of red and white.
“I don’t understand! Don’t talk about such nonsense!”
Shen Li looked at the cup of tea and said, “Let me think, if I drink this cup of tea, what would the consequences be?”
Yu Yu’s chest heaved up and down violently. Just as she was about to speak, a gentle voice rang out.
“That is the best Longjing tea, but it seems that you don’t like it very much.”
Shen Li turned around and narrowed her eyes.
” I see that Mr. Shi Yang wants to see me. Why the need to go through so much trouble?”
Shi Yang smiled. His gaze fell on the phone she was holding in her hand.
“Because you’re very smart.”
He stretched out his hand and said gently, “Give it to me.”
