Even if I'm a Fake Heiress, I Will Dare to Be Trashy

Chapter 296: When disease Jiao Tang Yu meets love brain (5)

Chapter 296

Si Chengyou felt somewhat relieved after getting Shen Yue's unambiguous response, but he wasn't completely letting his guard down.

He didn't even forget about his persona and pretended to have no idea where Shen Yue was, asking again, "Which of my friends are you with?"

Shen Yue knew about Si Chengyou's little tricks but was happy to play along with him. She chuckled and answered, "It's your designer friend. I'm at his shop. You told me the address of his shop in passing when you introduced him to me on our engagement day. I remembered it."

When Si Chengyou heard Shen Yue mention their engagement and how she remembered something he had casually said, the nervousness he felt when he first heard Shen Yue was with Tang Yi finally dissipated.

But he was still a little confused and didn't understand why Shen Yue, who had no contact with Tang Yi in this life after their reincarnation, would suddenly go out alone with Tang Yi.

Si Chengyou thought it over carefully before tentatively asking, "If I ask you now who you're with, would you find it annoying?"

By this time, Tang Yi had already sat down on the long sofa in the private room. Seeing this, Shen Yue sat down on the sofa opposite him. After putting down her bag, without hiding anything from Tang Yi, she directly said, "I'd find it annoying if I actually did. I wouldn't have come to your friend's place otherwise. I'm with Tang Yi now. Do you want to come over?"

Neither asked confrontational questions, and neither gave unsolicited explanations. But in the course of this seemingly ordinary chat between a couple, the situation was made clear.

Si Chengyou understood that there were issues Shen Yue and Tang Yi needed to resolve. Shen Yue didn't want him to overthink, so she deliberately came to his friend's place to let Si Chengyou know.

Shen Yue also indicated she was completely innocent with Tang Yi. Si Chengyou could come to find her anytime, but she needed some time to resolve things with Tang Yi.

Although Si Chengyou was still at a disadvantage compared to Shen Yue because of what he had done before, his intelligence and emotional quotient were fine. What's more, he was the one who understood Shen Yue best now.

Soon, Si Chengyou gave his answer, "However long you need. I'll come get you when you're ready."

Shen Yue looked at the time but didn't reply. She asked first, "Don't you have something important to do today? Finish up what you need to do first before coming over. I'll wait for you here. It's your friend's shop anyway, so you can rest assured."

This time, Si Chengyou answered very quickly, and there was clear delight in his words, "Okay, I'll come over as soon as I can."

Hearing that Si Chengyou had cheered up after previously sounding dejected, Shen Yue couldn't help smiling too. "Alright, I'll be quick too."

Having reached an understanding, there was no more beating around the bush. They both started on their tasks at hand. Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

Si Chengyou did an abrupt turnaround, radiating optimism as he worked, lightening the mood of his subordinates as well.

As for Shen Yue, she looked to Tang Yi again.

Although Tang Yi looked very calm now, Shen Yue knew he must have thoughts about the phone conversation she just had without hiding anything from him. Since Tang Yi didn't take the initiative to speak, and considering that Si Chengyou would arrive soon, Shen Yue took the lead to bring it up. "What did you want to say just now?"

But chasing after the assistant now to explain would seem like protesting too much, so she could only let it be for the time being.

Besides, Si Chengyou's matter was easy enough to resolve―some coaxing would do. The more serious situation right now was Tang Yi's side.

Having gone through Tang Yi's current state herself, Shen Yue naturally knew what was going on with him.

Tang Yi was teetering on the blurry line between reality and illusion, unable to distinguish which side he truly belonged to.

Shen Yue had been through a similar period herself.

Right after she first regained her memories, she would unconsciously calculate and classify everyone's value into numbers, categorizing them based on usefulness for when she had need.

But she hadn't been alone at that time.

She had family.

Especially her big brother. He had noticed her abnormality and pulled her back from the void of memories, telling her what was real.

What Tang Yi needed now was also someone like that.

From Shen Yue's understanding of Tang Yi's current interpersonal relationships, the only person who could take on that role was herself.

Moreover, given Tang Yi's character, his blurring of reality would only worsen. If he didn't make it out of the memories, he would only make the wrong choices again.

Having reasoned this out, Shen Yue also knew she could no longer continue to turn a blind eye. She had to make things clear directly for there to be room left to maneuver this matter.

She casually left her phone on the side table next to the sofa. Her hands were casually crossed over her lap, fingers interlaced. She stated her conclusion definitively.

"You've remembered everything."

Hearing Shen Yue say this, Tang Yi's first reaction was ecstasy.

The joy surging from the depths of his heart engulfed his entire being in intense emotions the likes of which he had never experienced before.

In an instant, only one sentence filled his mind.

She recognizes me.
