Chapter 1809: You Reap What You Sow

“Oh… I see. Seems like you are pretty lucky with women.” Ye Qianqian clutched onto her phone as she sat in her seat.

Her tone of voice was neither hot nor cold. Her half-jesting manner instantly made Shen Zhilie relax, and his depressed mood lessened. He chuckled softly as he said, “Why? Are you jealous?”

“Of course. If I could have a beauty by my side like you, I would also feel different when I work.”

“That’s true.”

“Hmgh. You are pretty darn blissful now. Well… Did you know that something happened in my family lately?”

“What is it?”

“My grandfather passed away.”

Previously, Shen Zhilie had bought quite a fair amount of food items that were meant for dementia for Ye Qianqian’s grandfather. However, Ye Zhenhua had already disposed of those items now.

Shen Zhilie fell silent for a moment before he replied, “Yes, I heard.”

Ye Youyou was the first suspect that popped up in Ye Qianqian’s mind when she wondered about the person whom Shen Zhilie had heard this piece of news from.

So that means that Shen Zhilie probably knew about this long ago and yet he was so stingy as to not even offer a word of condolence?

When this thought crossed Ye Qianqian’s mind, she felt rather displeased in her heart.

Shen Zhilie quickly resumed his speech and said, “Your older sister said that you were very upset, but I was afraid that you would feel even more depressed if you heard my voice. That’s why I…”

“That was my younger sister.” Ye Qianqian felt slightly amused, and the corner of her lips curled up into a smile. “But I didn’t expect you to know your place so well. You’re right indeed. If I had heard your voice back then, I definitely would have felt very upset.”

Shen Zhilie had anticipated this, but when he actually heard Ye Qianqian say it out loud, he still laughed bitterly.

“However…” Ye Qianqian voice could be heard once again.

Shen Zhilie held onto his phone and remained silent without saying a word.

“I’m actually quite happy to hear your voice now.”

“Oh?” Shen Zhilie’s heart raced slightly faster, but he still pretended to remain calm and expressed his bafflement.

“Did you know that something happened to Fang Tongtong lately?”

Shen Zhilie was truly unaware of this.

When he heard Ye Qianqian’s query, he asked rather curiously, “What happened?”

It seemed to be an instinctive response, but right after Shen Zhilie asked the question, he immediately found it inappropriate.

Will she still think that I have feelings toward Fang Tongtong when she hears me ask such a question?

When Shen Zhilie realized this, he immediately changed his words and said, “It’s all right if you don’t want to talk about it. I don’t really want to know.”

Ye Qianqian replied, “She was raped by a man who is even older than her father.”

Shen Zhilie’s eyes widened when he heard her reply, and he asked incredulously, “Are you serious?”

“I also got a shock when I heard about it, and I also found it unbelievable. I went to the hospital afterward, and she had passed out from crying. Her mother was also weeping very sadly when she was undergoing surgery in the operation theater.” Ye Qianqian’s voice became slightly softer.

Shen Zhilie could imagine the expression on Ye Qianqian’s face in that moment, and after a moment of silence he asked, “Why did such a thing happen?”

“This is probably retribution.”

Ye Qianqian believed it. The elders in her family would always say that one should never do misdeeds lest misfortune befalls upon yourself someday. Since the past, Ye Qianqian had always felt that you reap what you sow. However, after such a thing happened to Fang Tongtong, Ye Qianqian couldn’t seem to hate the woman anymore.

“If Fang Tongtong hadn’t gone to my house that day, would such a thing still have happened?”

When Ye Qianqian thought about it from another point of view, she felt that she might be responsible for what happened to Fang Tongtong.
