That’s not right—I may have lied to Shihe about Song Yu, but it’s not that big a deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I only promised Li Heng I wouldn’t interfere in his personal relationships or speak out publicly. But even if Song Yu is here now, it doesn’t affect Shihe—you have nothing to do with Li Heng. The ones who should be nervous are Xiao Han and Teacher Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Sun Man’s guilt faded instantly; her hunched back straightened again, and she marched forward with bold, confident strides, doing her best to project an air of unshakable self-assurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl first flashed Zhou Shihe a flirtatious glance, then plopped down right in front of Song Yu, wrapping her arms around her: “Wahaha! You actually came? Let me hug you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, this fool not only hugged Song Yu but instinctively nuzzled her head into Song Yu’s chest, then exclaimed happily: “Mmm, so fragrant! No wonder you’re a super beauty—your scent is just amazing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu was both amused and exasperated, but didn’t push her away—she was already immune to Manning’s antics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe sat elegantly across from them, silently watching the scene without interrupting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Man’s emotions were still unsettled, her voice tinged with excitement: “By the way, how did you get here? Train? Or plane? Did you really fly all this way just to celebrate your man’s birthday?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu said: “I flew. I suddenly wanted to see his study environment here, so I came.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Man asked: “What time did you arrive in Shanghai?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu said: “Around 7:30 this morning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa! So early? Didn’t you have to leave in the middle of the night?” Sun Man asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu nodded, saying yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Man loosened her grip, holding her friend’s hand: “Song Yu, let me tell you—you came at the perfect time. If you hadn’t come now, your man was about to be stolen away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu smiled faintly and asked: “What do you mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do I mean? What else could it mean? Your man’s been misbehaving here—he’s got Mai Sui, sure, and I’ve gotten used to Xiao Han, but do you know Yu Shuheng? Yes, the teacher I told you about last summer—she slept in the same bed with Li Heng last night!” Sun Man complained like a child reporting to her parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Sun Man recounted, Zhou Shihe quietly observed Song Yu’s expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She believed no one could be perfect—there must be a flaw. She wanted to find Song Yu’s weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Maning’s words, Song Yu involuntarily lifted her head, her gaze passing through the window toward the small house across the way, No. 25.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, at that exact moment, Yu Shuheng stepped out of the house carrying a cup of coffee, standing on the rooftop to watch the rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing someone watching her, Yu Shuheng shifted her gaze—and soon met Song Yu’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really was Song Yu. So her guess last night was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Song Yu, Yu Shuheng thought honestly—then felt puzzled: Why wasn’t Li Heng in the living room? Why was Zhou Shihe there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at Zhou Shihe’s back, Yu Shuheng suddenly smiled coolly and immediately abandoned the idea of going to No. 26.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pride of a haughty person can only be shattered by an equal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe once looked down on everyone in the world; now, a worthy rival might humble her, show her what true heaven beyond heaven and people beyond people mean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Song Yu’s arrival this time isn’t entirely bad for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Yu Shuheng offered Song Yu a graceful, distant smile, then turned her gaze elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Shuheng and Song Yu had never formally met—only once last summer, by chance, had they spoken on the phone. This was their closest encounter yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that was only from Song Yu’s perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Yu Shuheng had quietly gone to Peking University and secretly watched Song Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu asked: “So that’s Teacher Yu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Man turned to look at Yu Shuheng: “Yep! Beautiful, right? So scholarly—I’m a woman myself, and I’d even want to climb on her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Song Yu studied Yu Shuheng, Sun Man continued her complaints: “Song Yu, do you know? Besides Teacher Yu, there are tons of shameless girls writing love letters to your man, flirting with him shamelessly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft! Those women are utterly shameless—they know Li Heng is married, yet they still strut around with their ugly chests, throwing themselves at him. I’m totally fed up with these stupid women—what the hell is going on in their heads?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid ignoring Shihe and to make her words more credible, Sun Man turned and nudged Zhou Shihe with her chin: “Shihe, tell me—isn’t that true? Aren’t there tons of women with walls for faces?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe forced a smile but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu also smiled faintly, glancing at Maning, then with deliberate meaning at Zhou Shihe—she too remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! Hey! What’s going on? Why are you two not saying anything?” Sun Man finally sensed something was off and spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe and Song Yu exchanged a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe’s red lips parted softly: “Maning, do you know where Li Heng went?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Zhou Shihe and Song Yu suspected Li Heng had gone to the airport to pick someone up—but each pretended ignorance, hoping to get Sun Man out of the way quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Man suddenly realized, slapped her thigh in confusion, and cried out: “Oh right! Where’s Li Heng? Song Yu, you came—didn’t Li Heng go to pick you up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu said: “I notified him half a year ago. I haven’t reminded him recently.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Man asked dumbly: “Why not remind him? Didn’t you want to surprise him, see if he’s been messing around with other women?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu said: “With Mai Sui beside him, I’m not too worried about that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bullshit! You know damn well—because of you, Mai Sui never actually sleeps with Li Heng. He’s young, crazy rich, insanely talented, and ridiculously handsome! Women are constantly hitting on him daily—I don’t believe Mai Sui can control him. Like Teacher Yu sleeping in his bed last night—Mai Sui didn’t even say a word.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Man loudly criticized Mai Sui’s incompetence: “Maybe it’s not just Teacher Yu—maybe other women are sneaking off with Li Heng too. It’s entirely possible! Song Yu, you really need to wake up and put a tighter leash on him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Man had once slightly favored Mai Sui, but after hearing that Teacher Yu had slept in Li Heng’s bed and Mai Sui showed no reaction, she felt utterly frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Li Heng marrying Teacher Yu, Sun Man naturally supported Song Yu unconditionally as the rightful wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, she unloaded all this just to make Song Yu take notice—don’t let her get drowned in a ditch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu smiled silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Man asked again: “You arrived at 7:30—so you’ve been in Lushan Village for a while, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu said: “No, I’ve only been here less than half an hour.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Man frowned: “Then where did you go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe was equally puzzled, straining to listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu hesitated briefly, then said: “I went to Jing’an Temple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the sensitive words “Jing’an Temple,” Zhou Shihe lowered her eyelids slightly—she instantly understood: her red ribbon had likely been exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also instantly understood why Song Yu had confronted her so directly from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth was, the other woman didn’t just suspect her relationship with Li Heng—she had concrete evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>",1308,"2026-06-19T15:27:37.732Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","647be310d19a3109d1a23d828cce3d7bae468d24f0fdc8ae09420cc13f509f92","1987-my-era-chapter-654","1987-my-era-chapter-652",713,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002F1987-my-era-cover.jpg"]
