After five years of marriage, I treated my wife with utmost care, only to discover her abortion slip in the closet.
She actively brought me to a friend's gathering, which turned out to be...
"Of course, call the police!"
Upon seeing the person who arrived, Xie Huanyu was first stunned, then asked incredulously, "You were following me?"
Xu Yanshu did not deny that he had indeed come with Xie Huanyu, and that the woman had indeed informed Lu Huai immediately.
Call the police? Lu Huai's eyes flickered unexpectedly, then returned to normal.
"Yan Shu, please don't worry. None of us wanted this to happen. If you need any help, just let us know!"
hehe!
Upon hearing this, Xu Yanshu scoffed, a mocking glint in his eyes. His hypocritical demeanor was truly nauseating, and his hands, hanging at his sides, unconsciously clenched into fists.
The man in the video looked 80-90% like Lu Huai, and this man had previously been intentionally or unintentionally stirring up trouble in front of the old lady. His intuition told him that his grandmother's fainting was inextricably linked to this bastard.
"Xu Yanshu, are you ever going to stop?!" Xie Huanyu scolded, her pretty face full of displeasure. "I know you're in a bad mood, but that's no reason for you to target A-Huai."
Didn't she also realize that the person in the video looked like Lu Huai? Why is she still accusing me of targeting Lu Huai?!
Xu Yanshu hesitated, then a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.
The fact that she stopped my investigation in the office just now, and then secretly came to find Lu Huai again, speaks volumes about her behavior.
I have to admit that this woman is even less principled and has no bottom line than I imagined.
Seeing that no one objected, Xie Huanyu softened her expression slightly and spoke again.
"If you're really in a hurry, you can hand over the surveillance footage to the police. The sooner they find out the truth, the less likely you are to suspect others for no reason!"
What is this woman saying?!
Lu Huai was startled. He couldn't help but glance at Xie Huanyu again. Why was this woman starting to give Xu Yanshu advice?
Xu Yanshu was also stunned. He didn't expect Xie Huanyu to change her story so quickly. Could it be that she said this on purpose because she knew that the sanatorium would not give him the records?
At the same time, he didn't miss Lu Huai's reaction. A deep sense of apprehension flashed in his eyes. This person was indeed suspicious.
"You've thought of everything. I'll get on it right away!" Xu Yanshu nodded knowingly, then turned and left the private room.
Wasn't it his own idea that he brought this up first?
Xie Huanyu was completely confused by these words, but she didn't think too much about it. She just wanted to figure out what was going on as soon as possible, so that Xu Yanshu wouldn't keep staring at A Huai.
Lu Huai's face was so dark it could drip water; he didn't know if the woman was genuinely stupid or if the couple was deliberately putting on an act for him.
I had carefully disguised myself at the time, so even if the police intervened and ruled me out, as long as he could produce an alibi and insist that he had never been to the sanatorium, there probably wouldn't be anything we could do to him for the time being.
However… judging from this, Xu Yanshu didn’t seem to have thought about handing over the surveillance footage to the police beforehand, and Lu Huai couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
Looking away, Xie Huanyu noticed the man's low spirits and offered words of comfort, "Ah Huai, don't mind him. Xu Yanshu is just a crazy person like that!"
It seems like he's not very bright.
Suppressing his dissatisfaction, Lu Huai softened his expression. In any case, he couldn't easily break ties with Xie Huanyu right now.
"Yu Bao, you're so kind. Thank you for trusting me so much!"
Reaching out to tuck a stray hair behind the woman's ear, Lu Huai spoke with a hint of gratitude, then, as if suddenly remembering something, hesitated for a moment before cautiously probing...
"But if I accidentally do something wrong one day, will you forgive me?"
If Xu Yanshu is determined to investigate further, the matter will eventually come to light. If he wants to extricate himself from this unscathed, he must get Xie Huanyu on his side.
"Of course, everyone makes mistakes, and I will always stand by your side!" Xie Huanyu replied without hesitation.
Judging from her own experience, although the Lu family's bankruptcy was not her intention, she still felt she had let the Lu family down.
If Ah Huai ever finds out the truth, he won't resent her too much.
...
Xu Yanshu turned around and went back to the hospital, only to find that her grandmother had been moved to a VIP ward after asking a nurse.
Following the directions, he found the ward and immediately spotted Xie Junyang standing at the ward door.
Xie Junyang quickly noticed Xu Yanshu, turned around, and strode towards him. "Yanshu, you really are something,"
"How come you didn't even tell me about something this big? I've already arranged a caregiver for your grandma, so you don't need to worry too much."
What's going on here now?
Looking at Xie Junyang's fake smile, Xu Yanshu felt disgusted. He had just slapped himself, and now he was playing the role of a loving father...
His chaotic thoughts finally came to a head. He unconsciously licked his back teeth with the tip of his tongue, and the sinister look in his eyes intensified.
This person wants to use his grandmother to continue to control him!
It wasn't the right time to openly break ties with the other party, so Xu Yanshu nodded stiffly, "Thank you, Dad!"
"We're all family, no need for thanks," Xie Junyang waved his hand dismissively, then patted Xu Yanshu on the shoulder. "I've taken care of everything at the hospital."
"The old man is blessed with good fortune; I believe he will wake up soon!"
Just when he was wondering how to continue to control Xu Yanshu, he heard the news that the old lady had fainted.
This kid may not necessarily be interested in news about his biological parents, but everyone can see how much he cares about this old man.
Perhaps this person could help with the investigation...
The moment the idea crossed Xu Yanshu's mind, he quickly rejected the plan. Asking Xie Junyang for help would be tantamount to handing him a handle, making it increasingly difficult to extricate himself in the future.
"Dad, I'd like to ask for a few days off to stay at the hospital and take care of Grandma."
“Okay, then let Huanyu take care of the company matters for you for a couple of days, and you can take over again later,” Xie Junyang readily agreed.
Should we take the blame for him?
Xu Yanshu couldn't help but laugh out loud. At this moment, he didn't care whose surname the group belonged to, and the emotions in his eyes became increasingly indifferent.
Xie Junyang reached out and patted Xu Yanshu on the shoulder again, "Alright, I have something to do, so I'll be going now. If you need any help, just let me know!"
Watching the other person leave, Xu Yanshu took several deep breaths to calm his anger before turning around and walking into the ward.
