CHAPTER 1560: CHAPTER 1612: WHAT REALLY MATTERS

Angelina wanted to find a topic, thought for a long time, held Wu Shuwei’s hand, and said softly, "Wu, are you angry with him?"

"No!" As soon as Wu Shuwei heard Angelina mention Li Yifei, she frowned slightly, immediately shook her head, forced a smile, and said to Angelina, "Don’t worry about me, I’m just a bit confused; I’ll be fine after a rest."

Angelina just shook her head. Seeing that Wu Shuwei didn’t admit it, she didn’t say much, just patted her hand, and said, "I heard what you said to him, I think it must be a coincidence. As for the money, or this matter, it’s really hard to say, but let me ask you this, do you really know this man?"

Do I know him? Of course not, what Wu Shuwei knew was all from Li Yifei’s mouth, and she didn’t ask much. She only knew that this man was a retired soldier, seemed knowledgeable, and was doing quite well. He had many wives, and Wu Shuwei always had doubts about this, and he was quite capable, not only knowing the prince but also entangled indistinctly with a beautiful princess.

What else? Wu Shuwei didn’t know. She could inquire in Huaxia, but she didn’t do that.

So, should she inquire now? Wu Shuwei thought secretly.

Angelina had already picked up the phone and ordered some food with the downstairs, and at the same time went to the kitchen to boil some hot water.

A few minutes later, a knock came from the door, Angelina called out "coming" and muttered, "How is it so fast?"

She thought it was the food delivery, but when she opened the door, she realized that standing outside was actually Li Yifei.

"It’s you..." Angelina’s eyes lit up, immediately glancing at the sofa behind her, where Wu Shuwei was leaning, staring out the window, lost in thought for a long time.

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Hmm, aren’t you going to invite me in?"

Angelina glanced at Wu Shuwei again. She seemed not to have heard anything from this side, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "Of course, you originally live here."

After saying that, Angelina moved aside to let him in. Li Yifei flashed a smile and walked in calmly, then he saw Wu Shuwei, who was staring out the window with a sidelong face. Li Yifei just glanced at her and walked straight into his bedroom.

This time he came back to get his computer, which had some files that needed to be shown to everyone at home to discuss the final contract matters; otherwise, he would still be at the Salama House, enjoying Sarama’s services like a maid.

Seeing Li Yifei go to the room without greeting Wu Shuwei, Angelina was a bit anxious; all she could think of was how to reconcile them, rather than let them stay at odds.

Not to mention how good she thought Li Yifei was or how suitable he was for Wu Shuwei, just as friends, they shouldn’t fall out over this kind of thing.

So Angelina waited until Li Yifei went into the room, immediately ran over to Wu Shuwei’s side, shook her arm, and said, "Hey, he’s back, didn’t you see?"

"Who?" The slightly dizzy Wu Shuwei said confusedly after being shaken.

Angelina said, "Him, he just went into the room, I thought you saw him!"

He, of course, was Li Yifei, Angelina didn’t know any other men. Wu Shuwei immediately understood, instinctively glanced in the direction of the bedroom, but then she thought, so what if he’s back, after such a thing happened, Wu Shuwei felt she was manipulated and betrayed, so even if Li Yifei had the face to come back, she would definitely not live with him.

Now Wu Shuwei was waiting for the news from the domestic meeting for research. Once the news came, Wu Shuwei would execute according to the domestic requirements. As for Li Yifei, if he really did that, then consider him no longer a friend. As for the things that happened between them, Wu Shuwei thought she would find a chance to give it back to him.

While she was spacing out just now, Wu Shuwei actually wasn’t thinking about anything; she just felt that emptying her mind would make her feel more comfortable, so that’s what she did.

Inside the room, Li Yifei heard the conversation between the two, he pulled the corner of his mouth but continued to send the files out.

Outside, Angelina deliberately lowered her voice to speak to Wu Shuwei, "Wu, I think it’s better to find out clearly; this should be a misunderstanding. Don’t lose a friend over a little misunderstanding."

Wu Shuwei said, "If this is still a misunderstanding, then what isn’t? The matter is already clear."

"You, tough words but a soft heart. If you didn’t care, why dazed out, alright, he’s coming out, if you won’t ask him yourself, I’ll ask for you, anyway...it’s not like I’m afraid of offending anyone!" Angelina finished, stood up.

Just after finishing sending emails, Li Yifei packed the computer into his bag, and walked out with it.

Regarding Wu Shuwei’s sudden outburst, Li Yifei could understand, but understanding was one thing, ignoring her was another.

Angelina blocked his way, smiled at Li Yifei, and said, "Why are you leaving so soon?"

Wu Shuwei’s gaze was cold; she maintained that posture without speaking, her mouth tight, lips pressed tightly until they were almost bloodless.

Li Yifei glanced at her, nodded, then walked over proactively, sat heavily on the sofa, placed the laptop on the table, and said, "Is there nothing you want to say?"

Wu Shuwei glanced at him, and when Li Yifei sat down, she shifted a bit to the other side, seemingly using this action to express her intention. Hearing Li Yifei’s words, Wu Shuwei remained silent, and Angelina, who was standing to the side, quickly stepped forward and said, "There are some issues. I was just discussing them with Wu. It’s just as well that you’re back; I’ll ask on her behalf. Let me just ask one question now!"

"Mm!" Li Yifei nodded his head.

But Wu Shuwei spoke up, "No need to ask, Angelina. Thank you, but I don’t want to talk to him."

Li Yifei chuckled, giving Wu Shuwei a meaningful look.

Wu Shuwei snorted directly, turning her head away.

Angelina still asked, "Li, why did you... put so much money into this oil project?"

"Me? Are you sure you want to hear it?" Li Yifei said, his eyes fixed on Wu Shuwei.

Wu Shuwei couldn’t take it and immediately stood up to leave. Angelina hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Wu, listen to what Li has to say, don’t be so impulsive!"

"I don’t want to listen, I don’t want any dealings with this kind of person!" Wu Shuwei broke away from Angelina, looked back at Li Yifei with disgust, and said, "Backstabbing others, I must have been blind!"

After saying this, Wu Shuwei fled to her bedroom as if escaping.

Li Yifei rolled his eyes, showing Angelina an exasperated expression. Angelina quickly explained, "She got herself into a corner, a bit tangled up, otherwise, with her personality, she wouldn’t have lost her composure like this. I think she might care too much about you, about this matter. Li, why don’t you take a step back and go explain to her, okay?"

"Later then, I actually have things to do right now, people are still waiting for me downstairs. I’ll come over to explain once I’m done!" Li Yifei smiled and said.

Since Li Yifei said this, Angelina had no choice but to nod and said, "Alright, go ahead and attend to your matters first, but I don’t think you’re that kind of person, I’ll help try to persuade Wu!"

Angelina stepped aside and added, "You know, women can have inexplicable mood swings, they need understanding, especially during those days, even more inexplicably, you’re a gentleman, you should be patient."

Li Yifei pointed at Angelina, shook his head a bit helplessly, and said, "I know, but right now everyone is busy. Once everything’s done, she’ll naturally understand. Just tell her, things aren’t as she thinks. If she doesn’t believe it, she can check it in the country. With her status, it shouldn’t be hard to find out."

Li Yifei didn’t know whether Wu Shuwei had checked his background, but he had just found out Wu Shuwei’s identity and was a bit shocked. This seemingly unfortunate girl was actually the daughter of a big figure, and the only daughter at that. It was said that in certain circles in the Capital City, Wu Shuwei wasn’t as sought after as Su Mengxin, but definitely not low either.

Of course, Su Mengxin, as Huaxia’s number one beauty, was more widely known. And over the years, compared to Su Mengxin, Wu Shuwei had been more low-key, studying abroad, and upon return had always been working quietly, or traveling, relaxing, etc.

Comparing these two’s beauty and identities may not be entirely fair, and Wu Shuwei’s father married late, focused on work, and was about forty when Wu Shuwei was born, with no other children after that, now already a deputy cadre in the Central Government.

He can be considered to hold a high and powerful position, governing in a relatively hawkish manner. Li Yifei had long known Wu Shuwei’s background wasn’t simple, but this background was indeed quite significant.

With such an identity, she wasn’t even protected, running around blindly alone in this war-torn place. When Li Yifei was walking out, he looked back and pouted, thinking—if it weren’t for the lucky encounter with him, who knows if Wu Shuwei would have ended up dead in the wilderness, torn apart by vultures or desert wolves, with nothing but bones left.

He shook his head and entered the elevator. Carrying the laptop, Li Yifei walked out of the hotel, where Sarama had been waiting in the car parked at the entrance, her car dominating the hotel’s entrance, and several security guards didn’t dare to stop her.

"Next time, follow the rules, park further away!" Li Yifei said.

Sarama nodded earnestly, stuck her tongue out at Li Yifei, and said, "I was afraid you wouldn’t find it, that’s all. Next time I won’t park here."

Getting into the Knight Fifteen, Sarama was even happier because she realized Li Yifei was also driving a Knight Fifteen. The fact that both their cars were the same was such a coincidence.

Sarama didn’t delay and drove Li Yifei back to her house.
