Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Irretrievable_1

Lijing Group.

Mo Xuehai’s expression darkened as he witnessed the changes at Jiamei Company.

He had been thinking that when Jiamei Company’s development stumbled again, he’d call Shen Dong and buy the shares from Shen Dong’s hands.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Jiamei Company had revitalized its development.

A single live streaming sales event had generated a revenue of two billion.

From then on, the development of Jiamei Company was undoubtedly no longer an issue.

After all, Jiamei Company had the technology.

The products they developed were without a doubt solid.

And smearing Jiamei Company had become impossible.

Because Shen Dong was a shareholder of Jiamei Company, and he controlled the Dongyan Guild, the publicity powerhouse, along with a terrifying network of celebrity connections.

Further attempts to trouble Jiamei Company were now futile.

Yes, the smearing of Jiamei Company had been the work of Lijing Group, all to acquire Jiamei Company at a low price.

"With Shen Dong’s support, Jiamei Company’s future development will definitely be unstoppable, and Lijing Group is in danger,"

Mo Xuehai frowned, filled with regret.

If only he had accepted Shen Dong’s investment.

Not only would he have been able to acquire Jiamei Company, but he would have also gained Shen Dong’s influential network, and the development of Lijing Group would have been much smoother.

Now, all was lost.

"Ah, what a blunder,"

Mo Xuehai’s face was filled with bitterness as he sighed repeatedly.

...

That day.

Shen Dong was in Chen Yuyan’s office.

The WeChat notification on his phone buzzed.

Picking it up, he saw a message from Chen Yuting: I need to talk to you, can we meet?

Shen Dong couldn’t help but frown.

What matter couldn’t be discussed over WeChat and had to be settled in person?

"Husband, who’s that from?" Chen Yuyan asked curiously upon noticing Shen Dong’s expression.

"Come and see for yourself," Shen Dong said with a bitter smile and a shake of his head.

Chen Yuyan walked over, sat beside Shen Dong, took the phone, and saw it was Chen Yuting wanting to meet with Shen Dong. She couldn’t help but laugh, "If I’m not wrong, Yuting wants to reconcile with you. You should meet her."

Shen Dong forced a smile, "I’m her brother-in-law now, how could she possibly want to get back together with me."

Chen Yuyan responded, "Otherwise, why would she want to see you? And whether it’s true or not, you’ll know once you meet her."

Shen Dong shook his head, "I don’t think there’s any need to meet."

"There is a need," Chen Yuyan insisted, "I also want to see what she really wants to talk to you about. You can also let her give up hope, preventing her from harboring such thoughts, which isn’t good for her either."

Shen Dong smiled wryly, "Alright, I’ll go meet her. Ask her where she wants to meet."

Chen Yuyan immediately sent a message asking: Where should we meet?

Chen Yuting quickly replied: Huahai Park’s artificial lake.

It was the park near Hai City University.

There, they shared some very beautiful memories.

Seeing this place as the meeting point, Shen Dong couldn’t help but believe Chen Yuyan’s guess.

Chen Yuting was very likely seeking reconciliation.

Having Chen Yuyan respond, they set off right away.

On the way.

Chen Yuyan said, "Husband, when we get there, I’ll stay in the car. I won’t get out, but let’s keep the phone line open. I want to hear what Yuting has to say."

"Sure," Shen Dong naturally had no objections.

After all, he no longer harbored any feelings for Chen Yuting. Even if she were begging for a reconciliation, even without Chen Yuyan present, he would refuse Chen Yuting without hesitation.

The car stopped beside Huahai Park.

While Chen Yuyan stayed in the car, Shen Dong got out and headed to the artificial lake at Huahai Park.

He saw Chen Yuting standing by the lakeside.

Shen Dong walked over and asked directly, "Just say what you need to say."

Chen Yuting looked at the artificial lake and said softly, "Shen Dong, do you still remember the scene of our first date here?"

Shen Dong frowned slightly, "I’m not here to reminisce. If you have something to say, say it. If you’re just going to talk about this, I’m sorry, but I don’t have the time to listen."

Chen Yuting turned around, looked at Shen Dong, and said softly, "Shen Dong, I’m sorry."

Shen Dong was taken aback and shook his head, "You haven’t wronged me, there’s no need to apologize to me."

Chen Yuting said earnestly, "My leaving you must have..."

Shen Dong interrupted, "Your leaving me was your choice. I’ve never blamed you. Love is a matter between two people. You haven’t done anything wrong; you simply left me. There’s no need to apologize."

Hearing Shen Dong’s words, Chen Yuting panicked.

If Shen Dong had said some harsh words or had gotten angry at her, she might have felt that Shen Dong still had feelings for her, that she could still return to Shen Dong’s side.

But with Shen Dong being so calm, she didn’t think so anymore.

"You don’t hate me for breaking up with you?" Chen Yuting couldn’t help but ask.

"Like I said, love is a matter between two people. If you think that I can’t provide the life you want, and you pursue the life you desire, I respect your choice. Even if I might have been sad at the time, it was only due to the passing of our relationship. I’ve never hated you. It’s all in the past," Shen Dong said.

"Shen Dong, I want to come back to you. I’ve always loved you in my heart. I know you’re with my sister just as a replacement for me. As long as you divorce her, I can come back to you immediately, and we can return to how it was before. Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted?" Chen Yuting said urgently.

"Chen Yuting, I don’t know how you could think that. You say you’ve always loved me, don’t you find that ridiculous?"

"I never saw your sister as a substitute for you. She is my wife and will always be -- not a substitute for you."

"I have no intention of returning to the past with you. It’s all just your imagination."

"And by saying these things to me now, you’re disrespecting your sister. You shouldn’t be saying any of this to me."

"I had no particular opinion about your character before, but now you’re making me doubt it," Shen Dong said with a stern face.

Even if his phone hadn’t been on the line with Chen Yuyan, he would have clarified these things to Chen Yuting.

He really didn’t understand how Chen Yuting could think like that.

How could she believe that he saw Chen Yuyan as her substitute? That he would want to go back to the past with her?

"Don’t you love me at all anymore?" Chen Yuting asked with a pale face, not giving up.

"I’m sorry, but from the moment you left, our love ceased to exist," Shen Dong said earnestly.

"Do you really love my sister?" Chen Yuting asked.

"Yes," Shen Dong nodded.

Hearing this affirmative answer, Chen Yuting felt her heart tremble harshly, and tears started welling up in her eyes.

"I’m leaving. Take care of yourself," Shen Dong said as he turned to leave.

"Wait, Shen Dong, can you hug me once?" Chen Yuting’s tears slid down her cheeks as she watched Shen Dong’s retreating figure, asking in a pleading tone.

"I’m sorry, but I can’t," Shen Dong said without turning back and walked away.

Watching Shen Dong leave, tears from Chen Yuting’s eyes slid down as she crouched, covered her face with her hands, and began to sob.

She could see that Shen Dong no longer had her in his heart, and there was no possibility for them anymore.

Regret filled her heart.

This man used to belong to her.

Unfortunately, she had left him.

All of it was now irretrievable.
