She Came From Hell (GL) - Chapter 39
Zhao Beiyi watched Shen Ziyan, whose eyes were red from holding back tears, looking like she was about to cry but couldn’t.
“Alright, enough. After all, we see each other every day in class. It’s not good to make things too embarrassing,” Zhao Beiyi whispered, trying to comfort her.
Fu Yilan remained indifferent.
The manager stood next to Shen Ziyan, waiting for her to pay, while the students quietly watched her.
Shen Ziyan couldn’t hold back anymore. With her head lowered, large tears began to fall, landing on her phone screen, which was still on. The screen showed a chat page labeled “Mom.”
Shen Ziyan had been too embarrassed to ask Madam Shen for money earlier, but when she had tried, Madam Shen had sent her a scolding message. Unable to bear it anymore, she broke down in tears.
Fu Yilan, seeing her succeed, finally spoke up. “Forget it, bring me the bill.”
Having been in the business for years, the manager had already figured out what had happened. It was clear that Miss Shen was treating, but had offended Miss Fu, who had cleverly turned the tables on her.
The manager returned to Fu Yilan with the bill. She took out a black card and handed it to him. After he swiped the card, he handed her the receipt and left.
The students let out a collective sigh of relief. Indeed, never offend Fu Yilan. You’d never know how things could end.
“Alright, the bill’s paid. Let’s go! Oh, by the way, Shen Ziyan, next time don’t act all high and mighty. It’s really awkward when you end up being the one who drags everyone down, don’t you think?” Fu Yilan gave a sly smile, stood up, and left.
The other students followed suit and stood to leave.
Shen Ziyan remained seated, frozen in place. After everyone had left, the room was finally empty, and she couldn’t hold back anymore. She burst into tears.
Fu Yilan hadn’t actually left, though. She stood by the door, listening to Shen Ziyan’s cries and smirking. This was only the beginning. Some toys were best enjoyed when slowly tortured…
Fu Yilan pulled out her phone and opened WeChat, sending a message to Qi Xiyao: 【I’m full, leaving now.】
After Fu Yilan got home, she showered, changed into her pajamas, and lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling.
Actually, if it had been four years ago for the Shen family, Shen Ziyan could have easily afforded this meal.
But unfortunately, the Shen family had fallen from grace, all thanks to Fu Jingsheng. The more Fu Jingsheng pampered Fu Yilan, the more he grew to dislike the Shen family.
Under Fu Jingsheng’s suppression and strong-arm tactics, the Shen family was no longer what it once was. Their company was practically a shell now; it could have declared bankruptcy a long time ago, but no one knew why the family was still holding on.
Shen Ziyan’s situation today proved that some things were destined to happen. It was possible that everything was unfolding just like it had in the past life. If this trend continued, Chu Ying would likely appear soon.
As for what identity or form Chu Ying would take in this life, that remained unknown.
Anyone who had ever harmed her would never be forgiven, including the one she once thought was her last hope—Shen Laofuren!
And behind everything, the shadowy organization pulling the strings.
【I’m home.】
Fu Yilan suddenly remembered she hadn’t updated Qi Xiyao. She grabbed her phone and sent a message.
【Okay… sleep early, and remember to dream of me!】 Qi Xiyao replied almost instantly.
When Fu Yinxuan passed by Fu Yilan’s room on his way home, he paused. Another murder had occurred yesterday… but Fu Yilan had been with him, celebrating his birthday, and she had a solid alibi.
Fu Yinxuan couldn’t make sense of it. He felt that the decade-long serial murders were somehow connected to Fu Yilan, but every time, she had a clear alibi, being with them.
