At my ex-boyfriend's engagement banquet, I appeared in full attire. He thought I was there to cause trouble, but I smiled very kindly and said, "We'll all be family from now on, no need...
Chapter 800 Abnormal Behavior
Xu Yunfang paused for a moment, and seemed to be struggling in her heart. She might feel that it was not appropriate to tell such a thing to a student like me. I looked at her quietly, trying to make my eyes sincere and full of concern.
After a long while, she said quietly, "After I went back that day, I kept waiting for him to tell me the truth, but unfortunately I didn't wait."
There was an indescribable disappointment in her voice. "I sent my child to cram school on the weekend, and when I got home in the evening, he was gone. My mother-in-law said he was on a business trip and would be back in about a week."
I couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you call him?"
"I called, but his phone was turned off. I sent him a message, and he replied this morning. He said he was on a plane and was a little busy outside, and I'll contact him when I'm free." When Xu Yunfang said this, there was indescribable fatigue in her voice.
I couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you tell him that you asked Xiao Yang if anyone from the company was going on a business trip to Hong Kong?"
She was silent for several seconds before she said, "I told him, and he replied the next day, telling me not to think too much about it, that he was just on a business trip. After that, there was no news."
Looking at Xu Yunfang's state, I guess she didn't have the heart to discuss the thesis with me, so I simply closed the computer and decided to help her analyze it carefully. It would have been great if Huang Tianyi was here at this time. I think she is particularly good at this aspect, but under her influence, my ability should not be bad either.
"Teacher Xu, it's not likely that a man would cheat all of a sudden. Were there no signs beforehand?"
When I asked this question, it was like her memory was suddenly awakened.
"Now that you mention it, I think about it now. There are indeed some unusual things."
Xu Yunfang began to recall her husband's unusual behavior over the past two months, like how he'd suddenly started wearing cologne and how his clothes always had a faint scent. "I asked him why he started using perfume, and he said it was a small gift from a colleague on a business trip abroad. Everyone in the department had one, and he thought it smelled nice, so he kept it."
She recalled carefully and continued, "Oh right, there was another time when I was doing laundry and I found a new pair of underwear. You know, I bought almost all of his clothes, he never bought any himself. I even asked him why he suddenly thought of buying underwear.
He explained that he placed the order on impulse while watching the live broadcast.
I didn’t think much of it at the time, after all, I’m prone to impulsive orders during livestreams.”
I nodded. "That's not evidence of infidelity. I'm prone to impulsively buying unnecessary things during livestreams."
However, according to Xu Yunfang, the most suspicious person is probably this man who has not changed his hairstyle for many years. Last month, he suddenly spent a lot of money to find a very famous hairdresser to carefully design a hairstyle. He also dyed his hair to cover up the white hair on his temples. He looked several years younger.
"His hair turned grey quite early, in his twenties. I had suggested dyeing his hair before, but he always smiled and said that it was fine as long as I didn't mind him, and that dyeing his hair was for others to see, so there was no need.
This time he actually took the initiative to dye his hair, but he explained that he was fooled by teacher Tony.
He and I have always had a good relationship, from school uniforms to wedding dresses. I never thought that he would be like other men and start to have other thoughts in his forties." Xu Yunfang smiled self-deprecatingly.
She suddenly took my hand, looked at me with a haggard expression and said, "Xiao Xia, if possible, can you help me find out where he went and who he went with?"
Looking at the sad face of this gentle woman in front of me, I felt very uncomfortable. I secretly cursed Jiang Yongzhe, the scumbag, and hoped that he would just die outside. He had such a good wife but still had such philandering thoughts.
But I definitely couldn't say this out loud, so I comforted her by saying, "Don't worry, I think it shouldn't be difficult to find out where he went. I'll do my best."
After leaving the teahouse, I called Xiao Shiqiu and told him everything Xu Yunfang had told me.
"That scumbag Jiang Yongzhe must have cheated!" I said angrily, "It's only because Teacher Xu trusted him too much that she didn't suspect him when all the unusual things happened before. They even went from school uniforms to wedding dresses. Oh, is love so unreliable? They must have loved each other very much back then."
My empathy for Xu Yunfang made Xiao Shiqiu feel helpless. "Baby, you can't deny love because of some individual cases. We have been together from school uniforms to wedding dresses. I will definitely not betray you in the future."
I was speechless, "How can we go from school uniform to wedding dress?"
He argued, "When you were wearing your kindergarten uniform, I was still wearing my college uniform. We were just in different places."
Never mind, I'm used to his shamelessness.
Xiao Shiqiu was very efficient. When he got home in the evening, he brought back news about Jiang Yongzhe.
"According to the entry and exit records, Jiang Yongzhe went to Greece, but..." He hesitated for a moment, seeming unsure, "but what? Don't keep me in suspense, tell me quickly." I urged.
"The flight record showed he only bought one ticket, so it's impossible to find out who he went with."
"Huh?" This surprised me. "He went to Greece alone? What's that? Escape the hustle and bustle of life and go on a spontaneous trip?"
Xiao Shiqiu pondered for a moment and analyzed to me: "Jiang Yongzhe is a very meticulous person and very reliable in his work. The projects he handles can almost be completed flawlessly.
It's unlikely that he would travel alone given his personality. If he was having an affair, it's very likely that they would buy separate tickets to avoid being discovered, so that it would appear to others that he was traveling alone."
Xiao Shiqiu's words made me suddenly realize, "Oh my god, this scumbag is too cautious! Having an affair is like being a spy."
"Of course, this also shows that he is very afraid that his wife will know, and he doesn't want to affect his family." Xiao Shiqiu continued to analyze.
"Hmph," I said with disdain, "He wants to cheat, but he's afraid his wife will find out. Now it's confirmed that he lied to her about a business trip! How can he keep it a secret?"
Xiao Shiqiu started rubbing my hair again, chuckled, and said, "You really don't understand men. As long as there's no solid evidence of an affair, he'll definitely never admit it. At most, he'll just admit that he's under too much pressure and wants to go on a solo trip.
At best, it can be considered a bit selfish, using the vacation time to travel alone. Even if his wife suspects something, without any evidence, as long as he behaves better, the matter will be over.
I gasped. "How insidious! So you're going to do the same?"
