Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Suicidal Yu Jiao

Yu Jiao had just hung up the phone and was walking over at that moment.

From the corner of her eye, she caught the scene where Shen Yanhe received a gift from Qi Zeyi.

Yu Jiao stopped in her tracks and instinctively hid behind the nearby rocks, raising her phone to capture the moment.

She looked at the photo on her phone, her eyes shadowed with complexity.

Shen Yanhe clearly had a boyfriend, yet she was still so intimate with the movie star Qi.

And the small box she received, seemed to be a ring?

Could it be that Shen Yanhe...

was having an affair with the movie star Qi?

A hint of excitement appeared on Yu Jiao’s face as if she had discovered a huge secret.

She quickly covered her mouth and silently took a few more photos of them, fearing they would notice before she hastily left.

After Shen Yanhe accepted the gift from Qi Zeyi, she didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked him, "Uncle, have you heard of the Immortal organization?"

While asking, Shen Yanhe subtly stared intently at Qi Zeyi’s face, not missing even the slightest expression on his face.

Qi Zeyi’s brows slightly furrowed, and he slowly shook his head: "The Immortal organization? I haven’t heard of it, but I have heard of Luo Net and 094."

He explained, "Luo Net cooperates with the military inside the Great Xia country, and I previously acted in a film funded by a state-owned enterprise where someone from Luo Net served as a strategic instructor on the set."

"094 is a game partner I met while playing the Heavenly Dao game; they mentioned this organization to me. However, I have never heard the name ’Immortal’ before."

Qi Zeyi paused, then frowned and looked at Shen Yanhe, asking, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Shen Yanhe’s expression didn’t change, and she smiled slightly, bending her eyes: "It’s nothing, I just heard Yanhe mention it, that the Fu Family has some origins with this organization, so I was curious."

Qi Zeyi frowned in thought, "I’ve been separated from the Fu Family for over a decade. If this organization has any origins with the Fu Family, you should ask Yanhe’s father, my elder brother."

Shen Yanhe raised her eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"

Qi Zeyi didn’t immediately respond but sighed with a complex expression on his face.

He stepped back, sat down on a rock on the beach, and then started speaking in a low voice: "You should know, the Fu Family is a family so traditional it’s almost feudal."

"In such a family, my elder brother was defined as the legitimate eldest son from birth, and everything of the Fu Family would eventually belong to him."

Qi Zeyi’s eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm: "Including the secrets of the Fu Family, which are also to be informed to the legitimate eldest son. We, the other legitimate sons, don’t get access to the core of the Fu Family."

Shen Yanhe: "..."

One would think it’s still the feudal ancient times.

All this legitimate eldest son and other legitimate sons business.

She knew there were indeed some families in Great Xia with traditions passed down from ancient times that had some utterly incomprehensible rules.

But as times are changing, those who control these families can’t possibly still use those ancient feudal methods in managing family members.

That would be purely self-destructive.

But thinking back to when she first joined the Fu Family, when Fu Shuqin insisted on checking whether she was still virgin, she could understand.

The Fu Family might indeed engage in such feudal nonsense as the legitimate eldest son and other sons.

Seeing the indescribable expression on Shen Yanhe’s face, Qi Zeyi couldn’t help but smile slightly: "Ridiculous, right? I think so too."

"So if Immortal is related to the Fu Family, then the elder brother must be the only one in the know."

Shen Yanhe fell silent for a few seconds, then looked deeply at Qi Zeyi and said, "But Fu Weizhi has disappeared."

Qi Zeyi’s face showed a trace of shock, and he suddenly stood up: "Disappeared?"

Shen Yanhe nodded, "Yes, he disappeared abroad."

Qi Zeyi’s brow was furrowed with worry, "How could he disappear? In which country did he disappear? I don’t have many schedules recently, I can go help you look for him."

The concern on his face didn’t seem feigned.

Shen Yanhe thought for two seconds before responding, "Country M."

"After this reality show wraps up, I’ll go to Country M to help you look for him," Qi Zeyi said after thinking, "I just terminated my contract with the company and don’t have any appearances lined up, so I was thinking about traveling abroad to clear my mind."

"If anything comes up, I’ll contact you."

Shen Yanhe nodded, "Thank you, Uncle."

"After the recording ends, shall we have a meal together?" Shen Yanhe paused before asking, "Yanhe has always wanted to meet you."

Qi Zeyi’s expression was complex, and he shook his head in silence, "The Fu family owes him a lot, I don’t have the face to meet him, let’s not meet for now."

"I’ve also bought his gift, but it’s a bit bulky to bring here, wait until after the recording to take it back to him," one of them said.

Shen Yanhe nodded slightly, acknowledging with a simple ok.

-

For the next two days, the program proceeded as usual, except that Shen Yanhe’s status as a lone traveller had been exposed and Yan Qi had left, so Luo Tian shamelessly followed her around.

From time to time, he would help her collect firewood or climb trees to pick coconuts; they actually exchanged quite a bit of food and passed the remaining two days of survival in peace.

In the end, Shen Yanhe’s group won.

When she received the one million reward from the production team, Shen Yanhe donated it right away.

The group boarded the ship back.

Shen Yanhe stood on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze, while Yu Jiao came up behind her.

Shen Yanhe narrowed her eyes slightly and turned to look at her, her expression somewhat lazy, "What’s up?"

Yu Jiao suppressed the shadows in her eyes, stuttered, and hesitated, "I... I..."

Shen Yanhe didn’t urge her to speak, lazily leaning on the deck railing, quietly waiting for her to continue.

It took Yu Jiao quite a while to squeeze out three words, "I’m sorry..."

Shen Yanhe hummed indifferently, not saying a word.

Her cold attitude made Yu Jiao a bit unable to contain herself. She clenched her palms tightly and said with pursed lips, "That day, I should not have told Yan Qi that you were plagiarizing. I didn’t know you were the lone traveller."

"And the incident at the small restaurant before, I wasn’t deliberately targeting you. I’m truly sorry. Can you forgive me?"

"Sorry, I can’t," Shen Yanhe replied coldly, her cat-like pupils curved, her gaze icy, without any hesitation.

"I won’t forgive anyone who harbors ill intentions towards me."

Yu Jiao barely managed to maintain her expression, secretly gritting her teeth, while looking at her pitifully, "Miss Shen, you are misunderstanding me. I’ve never harbored any ill will towards you."

Shen Yanhe couldn’t help but laugh, her face laced with a trace of sarcasm, "Do you even believe that yourself?"

Yu Jiao was speechless, "I..."

"That’s enough, Miss Yu. Don’t provoke me in the future," Shen Yanhe smiled slightly, casually saying, "I tend to hold grudges."

As she finished speaking, Shen Yanhe walked past her towards the cabin.

Yu Jiao stood there, her face a bit awkward. She took a deep breath, pulled out her phone, and logged into her personal alternate Weibo account.

Shen Yanhe, you asked for this.
