Chapter 195 Extra—Zhuo Zhiyuan (30)

Shu Jia watched Ji Chenxi leave until the car was completely out of sight.

"Everyone's already gone, aren't you going back? Staying here and breathing in car exhaust fumes?"

Zhuo Zhiyuan, who had been observing Shu Jia, said irritably.

Shu Jia didn't even glance at Zhuo Zhiyuan, and turned to leave with Yuanyuan in her arms.

Zhuo Zhiyuan was stunned and chased after Shu Jia, asking, "Shu Jia, what kind of attitude is this?"

It's one thing that she didn't talk to him when she came back, but now she can't even be bothered to look at him properly. That's going too far!

We share a room, so we're practically close roommates!

What's more, besides being roommates, the two of them had the most intimate relationship and even had two children.

They've been married for over two years!

Is this how Shu Jia treats her good brother, old classmate, roommate, partner of Chenxing Media, husband in name, father of her children, and bedmate?

She's not even as good as Ji Chenxi, whom I've only known for a few days.

At least Shu Jia had smiled at Ji Chenxi just now!

Are you so lazy that you can't even be bothered to put on a smile for yourself?

That's outrageous—absolutely outrageous!

Shu Jia ignored Zhuo Zhiyuan's sudden unreasonable behavior and took the child directly to the nursery.

That night, she slept directly in the nursery.

In the large bedroom, Zhuo Zhiyuan tossed and turned making pancakes until midnight before finally falling asleep.

The next morning, when Secretary Li and her driver came to the Zhuo residence to pick up Zhuo Zhiyuan for work and to report on her work, Zhuo Zhiyuan raised his hand to interrupt Secretary Li.

"I won't go to the company this morning, I'll go check on Chenxing!"

Secretary Li was puzzled, but he nodded obediently.

So the car changed direction and headed towards Chenxing Media.

Zhuo Zhiyuan arrived to find no one there. Shu Jia and Ji Chenxi were away on a business trip. Shu Jia's secretary said that she was going with President Ji to the filming location of the web series to confirm the progress and check the actual situation.

A lone man and a lone woman going on a business trip for a week?

Does Shu Jia even remember that she is already a mother of two?

Zhuo Zhiyuan returned to work at Zhuo Corporation with a dark and sullen face.

From the moment they learned that Shu Jia and Ji Chenxi had gone on a business trip alone for a week, the entire senior management of the Zhuo Group was plunged into a high-pressure work atmosphere. Everyone was on edge, not daring to utter a sound.

In a high-level meeting, Zhuo Zhiyuan gave everyone a thorough dressing-down. After the meeting, Zhuo Zhiyuan left the conference room, and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. The head of the marketing department even took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

In the meeting just now, he was the one who was criticized the most severely by Zhuo Zhiyuan.

Although—but—

This year's performance did not meet the target, and it fell short by a little bit, but there are still several months until the end of the year.

Mr. Zhuo is really too strict!

Back in his office, Zhuo Zhiyuan immediately took out his phone and swiped to his chat with Shu Jia.

The last time we chatted was half a month ago. Shu Jia was also on a last-minute business trip that day, but she remembered to say goodbye to him before boarding the plane and tell him to take good care of the two children when he got back.

What about today? If he hadn't happened to go to Chenxing and learned about this from the secretary, wouldn't he have been kept in the dark forever?

His finger unconsciously slid upwards, and Zhuo Zhiyuan's gaze fell on the chat history between him and Shu Jia. It was all about their children. In the past, there might have been work-related communication with Chenxing Media, but since he took over Zhuo's Group, their communication had been limited to their children.

Zhuo Zhiyuan pursed his lips, his expression somewhat displeased.

That day, when Shu Jia was with Ji Chenxi, the two of them were chatting and laughing. But as soon as he arrived, Shu Jia immediately stopped talking.

Why does this woman always seem impatient and disdainful in front of me? This has been especially noticeable lately...

Zhuo Zhiyuan was startled—Shu Jia was impatient with him, but her attitude towards Ji Chenxi was completely the opposite, and the atmosphere changed the moment he entered between the two of them—

So—is Shu Jia guarding against him?

What are we wary of him for?

Is he also a major shareholder of Chenxing?

Do I need to be wary of him at work?

Zhuo Zhiyuan felt increasingly uneasy.

A flash of inspiration struck Zhuo Zhiyuan, who suddenly stood up. Could it be that Shu Jia had cheated on him?

A faint green light appeared above his head, and Zhuo Zhiyuan suddenly felt a surge of anger.

Shu Jia was the one who said she wanted to have the child, Shu Jia was the one who said she wanted to get married, and Shu Jia was also the one who said they would just make do and spend their lives together...

Now that you've found someone you love, Shu Jia wants to dump him, right?

Zhuo Zhiyuan gritted his teeth. He was not someone Shu Jia could summon and dismiss at will. Since Shu Jia had provoked him, she had to pay the price. She thought she could leave him easily after finding a good man to take over.

There aren't even windows, let alone doors!

Zhuo Zhiyuan immediately called Secretary Li and asked her to book the earliest flight, which took him directly to the city where Shu Jia was on a business trip.

In recent years, with the development of self-media and the media industry, online dramas have also developed rapidly, and Chenxing Media naturally wanted to enter the market and get a share of the pie.

So they collaborated with Orange Entertainment to develop a low-budget idol web series.

The web series was filmed on location in the picturesque city of Z. Shu Jia and Ji Chenxi went to the filming location in Z to check on the filming progress.

Zhuo Zhiyuan felt that Shu Jia's business trip this time was definitely not just about following up on the progress. Did following up on the progress really need to take so long? Couldn't they have communicated and confirmed online? Was it really necessary to go to the site to check?

An excuse, absolutely an excuse. Shu Jia's excuse for going on a business trip is definitely for—

Zhuo Zhiyuan didn't want to think of things in such an embarrassing way, but Shu Jia's recent behavior and attitude were telling him that the green light above his head was becoming more and more dazzling, and he couldn't ignore it or deceive himself even if he wanted to!

Z City boasts superior natural conditions and beautiful scenery.

However, Zhuo Zhiyuan was in no mood to appreciate it at all. The anger he had accumulated over the past few days reached its peak when he saw Shu Jia and Ji Chenxi again.

"Ji Chenxi, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Chenxi didn't even flinch. He continued to raise his hand and affectionately removed a fallen leaf from Shu Jia's head.

Only then did he turn around to look at the person who had come in. His expression remained unchanged, and he smiled kindly at Zhuo Zhiyuan: "Who do we have here? It's Mr. Zhuo! Don't misunderstand, Jiajia had something dirty on her head just now, so I was just helping her remove it."

His frankness and openness, evident in his gaze and actions, only served to highlight Zhuo Zhiyuan's petty and despicable nature.

Shu Jia looked up from her computer with a normal expression, but the moment she saw Zhuo Zhiyuan, her brows furrowed: "What are you doing here? Are you just going to leave Tuantuan and Yuanyuan at home like this?"
