Chapter 83 Mom's Phone Call

"How could you think that? How could I possibly do that?!"

After being shocked, Shen Yixiao immediately denied what I said. He quickly calmed down, walked around the desk to my side, and held my hand, "Who said that? Tell me, I'll go and settle the score with him!"

"No one told me, I just felt it myself." I shook off his hand, showing anger, "Because you took the photo of the medical record, I just remembered last night that the photo in Su Ying's phone is not the same as the one on the Internet!"

Hearing what I said, Shen Yixiao breathed a sigh of relief. He was not angry because I shook off his hand. Instead, he smiled. "So it was you who was imagining things. Wife, did you remember it wrong? When did I take that photo? You are too suspicious of me now, so you have hallucinations."

He took out his phone, opened the photo album in front of me, and showed me the photos one by one. "Look, where is that photo?"

He was so confident, so confident that I could hardly resist and turned on his second system.

There are so many selfies of him and Lu Xiaoyun. I wonder how he will explain them.

"But I remember you took it." I insisted on my guess.

Shen Yixiao looked at me helplessly, "Wife, you can't doubt me without any basis, how could I do that? You were injured to save me, and not being able to have a child means that I can't be a father either. Do I want to tell others about these injuries?"

It sounds high-sounding, but in reality it's bullshit.

I knew that this man in front of me was beyond help.

Reason told me to be patient. The site for the store he promised to open for me had been prepared and he would be applying for a business license soon. Since it was a store for me, he would naturally need to use my identity information to process it.

Then he would take my ID card out of the safe, and I would be able to find a way to keep it.

I took a look at the safe, not just the ID card, I also wanted to see if there was anything else in it, something that could doom Shen Yixiao.

"Wife?" Seeing that I didn't respond, Shen Yixiao put his hands on my shoulders and promised me solemnly, "Trust me, okay?"

I came to my senses and looked at him, remembering that the second season of the variety show was about to start recording, and I suppressed the anger in my heart.

Since Shen Yixiao is so cruel, it is the best choice for me to leave him early.

"I may be in a bad mood, thinking too much, and being under too much pressure lately." I softened my tone and forced an ugly smile.

Shen Yixiao touched my hair and said distressedly, “It’s okay, no matter what, I will be with you.”

We hugged each other, but we had different thoughts.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the office. Before Shen Yixiao could speak, the door had already opened, and Lu Xiaoyun strode in, looking very anxious, "Boss Shen, we have a meeting with Rongwei at ten o'clock, and we are running out of time!"

Shen Yixiao pushed me away and looked at his watch, “I almost forgot.”

Lu Xiaoyun glanced at me with some resentment and disgust in her eyes, as if blaming me, saying that it was because of me that Shen Yixiao missed the important task.

"Wife, stop thinking about it. You don't have to go to work these two days. Doesn't the store need to apply for a business license? Take care of that first." Shen Yixiao kissed my forehead and instructed.

I nodded.

Lu Xiaoyun was waiting for Shen Yixiao not far away. Shen Yixiao took his coat and put it on, then walked towards her. When he was in front of her, she naturally stood on tiptoes and adjusted Shen Yixiao's tie.

It is difficult for anyone other than lovers and couples to feel this way.

Shen Yixiao probably also realized something was wrong. He had just calmed me down, and he couldn't let Lu Xiaoyun ruin it.

He pushed Lu Xiaoyun away and scolded, "Just do your job well and don't worry about things that you shouldn't worry about. Secretary Lu, you are leaving the company soon, don't let me down at the last minute!"

Lu Xiaoyun withdrew her hand, looked at Shen Yixiao timidly, and nodded obediently, “I understand, Mr. Shen.”

After the two of them left, I also left the company and went straight home.

——

After Shen Yixiao's actions, the outside world's suspicions about him and Lu Xiaoyun were quickly dispelled.

Everyone praised him as a very good man. He has become an outstanding person, but he still sticks to his original intention and treats me as before.

He was sure that I would not tell the media the reason why I couldn't have children, after all, I loved him so much.

After resting at home for a few days, the store was ready.

I specifically asked Shen Yixiao to rent an existing store directly, which would save time on renovation and only require reapplying for a new business license.

Shen Yixiao knew that I really wanted to open a store, and because I felt guilty, he took this matter very seriously.

"Wife, I have a drinking party tonight and may be home late. You should go to bed early."

For the same reason, I took a look at the message, put the phone aside, and continued drawing.

I have disposed of all the paintings of Shen Yixiao in the studio. Some were burned to ashes, and some were cut into pieces and thrown into the trash can.

He likes the way I hold the paintbrush, it’s artistic and beautiful, as if he is in a different world from me. He likes the picture of himself I paint even more, it’s full of the filter I have for him, handsome and gentle.

He also said that on our tenth wedding anniversary, he would hold an exhibition for me, which would be full of paintings I had drawn, the main one being his portrait.

He wants everyone in the world to know how happy he is.

I wonder how he will feel when he sees the empty studio in the future.

A few minutes later, the phone rang.

I thought it was Shen Yixiao who called me because I didn't reply to him. It rang for a long time before I picked up the phone, and it showed an unfamiliar number.

I answered the phone with some confusion, "Hello, who is this?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then an extremely familiar voice trembled and rang out, "Xiao Yue..."

When I heard this voice, the paintbrush in my hand fell to the ground, my eyes instantly turned red, and my heart started beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of my throat.

"Mom?" I shouted in disbelief, tears falling.

"Xiaoyue, it's mom. Are you available to meet me?" My mother's voice was choked with sobs, and it was obvious that she was as excited and depressed as I was.

I hurriedly wiped away my tears and replied, "Okay, where shall we meet? I'll be there right now!"

My mother gave me an address. After I wrote it down, I rushed out without even having time to change my clothes.

Along the way, my emotions fluctuated, with excitement and joy, as well as guilt and uneasiness. I didn't know how my mother contacted me or why.
