Chapter 1271: Did You Find That Girl? “Zeli...” Shen Rou widened her eyes in disbelief. “I really need your help. I know you’re still angry about what happened, but I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Shen Rou said pitifully, “We fought back then. When you opened your eyes and looked at me with such gratitude, I-I was confused and lied to you. I didn’t think too much about it back then. I just wanted to reconcile with you as soon as possible.
“If you knew that I was the one who saved you, you wouldn’t be angry with me.
“Zeli, I just didn’t want you to be angry with me. I really...”
“Are you done?” Gong Zeli interrupted her coldly.
Shen Rou said, “I-I...”
“Shen Rou, you know best what I thought back then.” It was fine if she didn’t mention it, but now that she did, Gong Zeli thought about how he’d been tricked by her for 10 whole years.
He said with a gloomy expression, “Even if you were confused at that time, you still had many chances to tell the truth later. But you didn’t.
“You chose to hide and lie. I’ve been played by you like a fool for the past 10 years.”
“Zeli, no...”
“The Shen Corporation is in trouble, I can’t help.” Gong Zeli looked away and said coldly, “If you’re here for this, you can leave.”
With that, he called a subordinate in and said, “Send Miss Shen out.”
The subordinate glanced at Shen Rou. “Miss Shen...”
“Zeli, are you really going to be so heartless?” Shen Rou’s tears rolled down her cheeks. “I really need your help now. If even you aren’t willing to help me, our Shen family will really... be finished.
“Even if I lied to you, we’ve known each other for so many years. Don’t you have any feelings for me?
“You once said that you’d marry me and treat me well for the rest of your life. Just because I wasn’t the one who saved you that night, these promises don’t count?”
Gong Zeli had already left.
He stopped at the door.
“Shen Rou, do you still think you’re right?” His voice was cold. “That’s right. I promised to marry you and treat you well for the rest of my life. All the things I’ve done for you all these years are because I thought you were my savior.
“If I’d known that you weren’t the one who saved me that night, I wouldn’t have done so much for you.”
Behind him, Shen Rou’s face turned pale.
She was on the verge of collapsing. “So, you’ve never really liked me all these years? If it was any other girl who saved you, would you be so nice to them?”
Of course not.
He thought that the girl that night was her, so...
But Gong Zeli didn’t want to explain so much to her.
“If you think so, then so be it.”
“Zeli, did you...” Shen Rou suddenly thought of something, and her eyes widened. “Did you find that girl?”
