This man is so bad.

"Her name is Yang Yue. She looks quite innocent, but what she does is not pure." Qiu Yao despises this kind of woman the most.

When Song Xiaojuan heard Yang Yue's story, she immediately understood. Zhao Guomin had been keeping it a secret. Ha!

When Song Xiaojuan returned home, Zhao Guomin was playing with building blocks with Zhao Jianian.

"I'm back. I ate a lot today, but I saved some steamed crabs for you in the evening." Zhao Guomin was wearing the home clothes that Song Xiaojuan bought for him. He sat on the ground, looking at Song Xiaojuan and waiting for her answer.

Song Xiaojuan looked at him for a few seconds, then bent down to change her slippers. "No more eating. I'm going to take a shower."

Zhao Guomin looked at Song Xiaojuan's thin back, lowered his eyes, and the smile on his face disappeared.

When Song Xiaojuan came out of the bathroom again, she had returned to normal. She played with Zhao Jianian until he fell asleep, and then went to bed.

Zhao Guomin went to bed without saying a word. In fact, the two of them did not argue or question each other, but the atmosphere was inexplicably tense.

What made Zhao Guomin angry was that Song Xiaojuan had a good personality in every way, except that she kept things to herself and gave him the cold shoulder. Yesterday, he had taken the initiative to make peace, but she didn't say anything at the time. So, she was acting against him again today.

He was very tired after a busy day and didn't have the time to guess her thoughts and coax her!

Song Xiaojuan didn't want to open her mouth. She was afraid that if she talked to Zhao Guomin, she would lose control of her emotions and ask him about Yang Yue, which would alert the enemy.

She also wanted to take this opportunity to see how Zhao Guomin would deal with it.

The next day at work, he called Song Zhishan again and asked him to help find someone to investigate Yang Yue.

After hanging up the phone, Song Zhishan sighed. He was a doctor, but why did he act like a policeman every day? It was all his fault that he owed his own daughter.

Song Xiaojuan didn't know what method Song Zhishan used, but he actually got Yang Yue's information. Looking at the one-inch photo of Yang Yue in her hand, Song Xiaojuan called a friend at the TV station to borrow a camera, and asked Xiaodong, who had just returned, to use the camera to keep an eye on the person.

See who she hangs out with the most and take pictures of them.

Xiao Dong didn't ask Song Xiaojuan why she was taking these photos. She just treated it as her job and actually took some photos, including photos of her and Xu Chang going in and out of restaurants and karaoke bars, and even riding in the same car.

These are enough, and they will play a big role when the time is right.

Zhao Guomin made several appointments with Xu Chang, but he always made excuses to turn them down. He went to his factory and waited for him several times, but Xu Chang didn't show up.

Yang Yue's call came at the perfect time: "Director Xu is very profit-oriented. He won't give in unless he's given some benefits. Your fruits are almost ripe, right? It's not a good idea to waste time like this."

Zhao Guomin sneered: "I wonder what tricks Miss Yang has."

Yang Yue acted as if she didn't hear the sarcasm. "You know he wants to expand the factory, but I have the final say on whether the land is approved."

“You can make the decision now.”

Yang Yue paused: "Yes."

Zhao Guomin leaned against the car and said in a nonchalant tone: "It is indeed helpful for me to cooperate with Dongyuan. If I don't cooperate, I won't lose anything." Zhao Guomin pushed the words back to Yang Yue.

Yang Yue has been in the agency for so long that she's no longer the rookie she once was. "Don't worry, I'm not asking you for money. You're my only target. I hope you can give us a chance to get to know each other."

Zhao Guomin lowered the car window, lit a cigarette, and chuckled: "I'm afraid not. I don't really want to come between you and Director Li." Yang Yue has so much power because it was given to him from above. His methods are much more direct than Song Xiaojuan's.

During this time, he had thoroughly investigated Yang Yue's affairs: "I just want to cooperate with Xu Chang, and I will pretend to know nothing about the rest."

Yang Yue was sweating profusely at this moment. How could he know all this? Didn't Director Li say not to tell anyone? Once her affairs got out, she would no longer be able to stay in the unit.

"You threatened me, Zhao Guomin. I love you sincerely. How could you do this to me?"

Zhao Guomin took a puff of his cigarette and said indifferently, "I have a wife and children. I have no interest in anyone other than her in this life. You don't need to waste each other's time. I still say that my goal is Xu Chang."

"I...I'll help you contact Xu Chang, you..."

"I said I only want Dongyuan's cooperation, I don't know anything else." Zhao Guomin is ruthless and cruel to people he doesn't like.

Song Xiaojuan knew the day Zhao Guomin and Dongyuan signed the contract.

She was just curious because the photos only showed Zhao Guomin and Xu Chang having dinner together, but she had never seen him meeting Yang Yue privately. He always went home on time at night.

During this period, except for a few words about Zhao Jianian, the two of them were silent the rest of the time. Aunt Chen noticed that something was wrong and privately advised Song Xiaojuan not to be so aggressive with men, as it would be bad for her.

Song Xiaojuan just nodded without saying anything. She didn't know what she was angry about, or maybe she was waiting for a moment to "explode".

Sun Zhao called her and told her that the studio had been found and asked her to remember to go.

Song Xiaojuan is actually feeling much better now, but she wants to take this opportunity to go out and relax alone, and doesn't want the atmosphere between them to affect her mood anymore.

When Zhao Guomin returned home in the evening, he first saw Song Xiaojuan packing clothes in the bedroom. He wanted to ask something, but then he thought better of it and shut his mouth.

Then I heard her say to Aunt Chen in the living room: "I might be out for a little longer this time. If Zhao Jianian misses me, call me during the day, but not at night."

"Okay, I got it."

Zhao Guomin couldn't sit still after hearing this in the bedroom: "Song Xiaojuan, come in."

Song Xiaojuan had a calm expression when she entered the bedroom and closed the door behind her: "What's going on?"

Zhao Guomin nodded at the luggage on the ground with his chin: "Why are you going? Shouldn't you tell me? What business trip takes so long? You even ignore your own son."

Song Xiaojuan sat in front of the dressing table, taking care of her skin, and said calmly: "Oh, now you know."

"No, Song Xiaojuan, what did I do to you about your attitude? You have been giving me a cold look during this period of time. What does it mean?" Zhao Guomin was irritated by Song Xiaojuan's attitude and frowned.

Song Xiaojuan finished applying the cream and then slowly turned around: "You're overthinking it. I have no problem with you. Besides, you don't look good every day when you come home. Who dares to disturb you?"

Zhao Guomin was almost furious at Song Xiaojuan's indifferent attitude. He stood up and walked over to her, picking her up. Song Xiaojuan screamed in shock, then gritted his teeth and whispered, "You're crazy! Let me go!"

Zhao Guomin ignored her and put her on the bed. He pressed on top of her, his hand sliding down her clothes. His tone was cold: "Speak."

Song Xiaojuan tried to block it with her hands but couldn't: "Zhao Guomin, you are crazy!"

"Well, I'm driving you crazy." He said this without stopping his hands. It's not that he really wanted to do anything, but Song Xiaojuan's attitude was so bad that if he didn't scare her, she would lose her mind.

"What did I force you to do? I forced you to sell your body to sing for a contract!" Song Xiaojuan was so angry that she spoke without thinking, venting all the grievances in her heart during this period.

After hearing this, Zhao Guomin stopped. He cursed and laughed, then rolled over her. "So, if you've been feeling awkward about this all this time, why didn't you ask me?"

Song Xiaojuan turned over and faced Zhao Guomin with her back. Tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, wetting her pillow.

Why didn't she ask? Because she was holding her breath and wanted to wait for Zhao Guomin to tell her himself. If she asked, the matter would become corrupted and it would prove that Zhao Guomin had something to hide.

Although she had calculated everything, even thinking about how much money she would get and how to protect her property if a divorce came to pass, she had only forgotten her heart. After spending so many years with Zhao Guomin, it would be a lie to say that she had no feelings for him. The thought of Zhao Guomin really cheating on her made her heart ache.

Zhao Guomin didn't hear her talking. He sat up and saw that she was crying. Zhao Guomin's heart softened immediately: "Why are you crying? It's all my fault. I should have told you earlier to prevent you from having such wild thoughts." He told her everything that happened, including how he threatened Yang Yue.

"I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to get involved in this kind of shit and worry about it. Who knows what else you might be imagining."

Song Xiaojuan was quite surprised after hearing this. She didn't expect Zhao Guomin to use such a dirty trick. It seemed that her photos were of no use for the time being. Of course, she would not say that she was investigating this matter behind the scenes.

Song Xiaojuan took the tissue handed to her by Zhao Guomin and sat up. Facing him, she cried, "You know I'm not upset about who introduced you to the business. I'm upset because I heard about this from an outsider, and you're still holding it against me. How can I not think too much about it?"

Zhao Guomin quickly hugged her and said, "It's my fault. I was careless. I will tell you directly if there is anything in the future. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you would misunderstand. Who knew that this would only deepen the misunderstanding? It's my fault for not being able to communicate."

Song Xiaojuan is not a stubborn person. She also appropriately said that she was also wrong and that if there is anything in the future, they must communicate in time and not keep it in their heart.

The two reached a settlement on the matter.

Time passed quickly, and Zhao Jianian was already seven years old. The child was about to go to school, so Zhao Guomin and Song Xiaojuan agreed to let Zhao Jianian go to school in Beijing.

In this case, the two of them would have to move. Song Xiaojuan's factory had already been on the right track. She had monopolized the market in Northeast China, and the company had grown from a team of just a few people.

Song Xiaojuan decided to use this as an office. She took several important people from the company to Beijing to find a new office to serve as the headquarters. She also planned to open a second factory in Beijing.

Zhao Guomin's situation is easier to explain. His orchard has gradually matured, and he has many cooperating manufacturers. The eldest and second sons follow him, and he has handed the orchard over to them. Some time ago, he went to the suburbs of Beijing and bought another piece of land while the price was low. He even found people for the job.

After living here for so many years, Song Xiaojuan was about to leave as she looked at each room one by one, feeling a little reluctant.

Zhao Guomin laughed at her: "It's not like you won't come back, look at you, you're such a loser!"

Song Xiaojuan is already in her thirties, but she still looks very young after all these years. She scolded Zhao Guomin coquettishly: "Humph, men are so fickle and have no conscience!"

"Okay, I won't say any more. Son, let's go downstairs with dad to walk the dog."

"Don't let other dogs bully it!" Song Xiaojuan chased it to the door and shouted.

Two years ago, Zhao Jianian insisted on getting a dog, so Zhao Guomin brought one home for him. Song Xiaojuan strongly opposed it at first, but as time went by, she became more emotionally invested in the dog than the father and son.

Aunt Chen resigned some time ago and went to live with her daughter, so now Song Xiaojuan has to pack the luggage alone. Zhao Guomin did help, but Song Xiaojuan disliked his rough work and drove him away.

Before they left, Li Fengjiang and Qiu Yao invited them to dinner. Qiu Yao even cried during the meal. She and Song Xiaojuan had become best friends over the years, and she felt empty inside when Song Xiaojuan left.

Song Xiaojuan was also feeling a little uncomfortable and handed her a tissue: "Why are you crying like a loser? I'll be waiting for you in Jing City. You should come over soon." At this point, she glanced at Li Fengjiang: "If you can't make it, don't give in. The child is grown up, you can raise him alone."

"Yeah, I know." After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
