Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Fight Fire with Fire

Shen Yi had social engagements tonight and hasn’t come back yet. The last message was from Shen Yi in the afternoon about treating her and a few colleagues to milk tea.

Ye Wanwan didn’t have so many roundabout thoughts and directly asked, "What did you do to He Qingyun?"

Shen Yi appeared to be busy and didn’t reply to the messages quickly. Ye Wanwan held her phone and waited for a while, but when she didn’t get a response from Shen Yi, she switched back to the group chat.

Song Ziyi and Lu Ning had been teasing Ye Wanwan just now, but their conversation stopped abruptly midway and there was no follow-up.

Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but smile, then closed the chat and started reading the new novel that Yu Qiqi had recommended.

About ten minutes later, Ye Wanwan received a reply from Shen Yi, who responded vaguely, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

"She sent you a cat’s corpse, so you sent her snakes?" Ye Wanwan asked, hearing that He Qingyun was scared by snakes.

At that moment, Shen Yi was sitting at a vast dining table, surrounded by people engaged in lively conversation, while he was replying to messages on his phone.

"Hmm," replied Shen Yi with a single word.

Indeed, he had prepared snakes for He Qingyun, many snakes.

He didn’t have a twisted psychology of animal abuse. Besides, what’s the point of returning the same kind of ’gift’? A gift, whether it’s a surprise or a fright, must have one element to make it interesting.

So he had someone check and found out that He Qingyun was afraid of snakes. Then he had someone prepare dozens of snakes and place them in every corner of He Qingyun’s home.

Of course, the snakes weren’t poisonous, just enough to ensure that He Qingyun would be sufficiently frightened.

Ye Wanwan replied, "Well done, I’m off to play games now!"

Shen Yi couldn’t help but curl the corner of his lips, smiling faintly, then put his phone back on the table.

The dinner lasted until past nine, and afterwards, the group headed to a club.

Once they arrived at the club, perhaps owing to the environment, the previously formally dressed people all relaxed and dropped their facades.

It was as if this place was a demon-revealing mirror; here, no matter what kind of monster or ghost you were, your true form was exposed.

In the private room, some sang, others drank, and there were those playfully hugging girls around them. A girl in work clothes came up to Shen Yi, ready to pour him a drink.

However, with just a glance, Shen Yi made the girl smartly shift her focus elsewhere.

Suddenly, a coarse voice cut through the deafening music to Shen Yi’s ears. He turned his head to look and saw a middle-aged man not far from him on the phone.

Shen Yi remembered that this was President Xu from Shunyang. At that moment, President Xu was speaking impatiently to the person on the other end of the phone.

"It’s still early!"

"I’m socializing here, don’t you understand?"

"It’s all just for show, stop making a fuss for no reason!"

"Fine, fine, I’ll be back tonight!"

After uttering the last sentence, President Xu decisively hung up the phone with an annoyed expression and muttered something under his breath too quietly for Shen Yi to hear.

When President Xu looked up, he inadvertently glanced at Shen Yi and saw the Shen Family’s crown prince watching him. He was startled for two seconds before immediately changing his expression.

With one hand on his phone and the other pointing at it, President Xu laughed and said, "The wife keeps a tight leash on me! Whenever I’m out at a social event, she won’t stop calling, one call after another, always urging me to hurry back home!"
