Chapter 25 Demanding Justice
"Wonderful!"
Fu Xuan stopped Shen Shuangmiao before she got into the car.
He lowered his head and earnestly pleaded, "Listen to me, calm down first, and don't go and argue with Zhu Jin. He's an investor now, and we can't afford to offend him."
Shen Shuangmiao's gaze was firm, carrying a hint of anger: "Then I'll go and ask him how long he's going to target me."
Zhu Jin deliberately picked a fight with Fu Xuan, because he simply couldn't stand her.
She didn't understand.
Even if Zhu Jin resented her for forcing him into marriage, Zhou Wu is now with him.
How much they love each other is none of her business anymore, and she won't interfere.
Why is Zhu Jin so unwilling to let her go?
Without any hesitation, Shen Shuangmiao opened the car door and got in, looking up at Fu Xuan.
"I need to get to the bottom of this now, to find out why he's making things difficult for you. Don't worry about it."
Fu Xuan frowned, hesitating to speak for a moment.
Shen Shuangmiao instructed the driver to start the car.
Fu Xuan stood there, only able to watch helplessly as she left.
Half an hour later, the car stopped downstairs at the Zhu Group building.
Zhu Jin is an extremely serious person when it comes to his work.
He usually stays at the company to work overtime on weekends.
This time, Shen Shuangmiao did not enter through the main gate.
Even when there are no employees in the company, there are security guards on duty.
She knew that the Zhu Group had an entrance that allowed them to bypass the front entrance, right next to the escape route.
After entering through the entrance, Shen Shuangmiao went straight up the stairs to the top floor.
As soon as she arrived at the office door, she saw that the door was closed. Just as she was about to push the door open and go in, she suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound coming from inside.
Next came Zhu Jin's soft words of comfort.
"Sister Wu, calm down."
Zhao Dong chimed in, "President Zhu has already helped you get revenge, Miss Zhou. Don't be sad. In any case, Mu Shuang Studio is in trouble now, and Fu Xuan won't be any better off. He'll definitely be scrambling to revise the plan this weekend."
Shen Shuangmiao was taken aback.
It turns out that Zhu Jin suddenly targeted Fu Xuan to avenge Zhou Wu.
But she didn't understand what connection Zhou Wu and Fu Xuan could possibly have.
Shen Shuangmiao composed herself and immediately raised her hand to knock on the door.
The room fell silent instantly, as if none of them had expected anyone to come to the CEO's office on a weekend.
Zhao Dong opened the door and was surprised to see Shen Shuangmiao. He blurted out, "Madam, what brings you here?"
Shen Shuangmiao ignored him and went straight in.
The scene inside startled her.
Zhou Wu was sitting in the seat that Zhu Jin should have been sitting in, her head bowed and she was crying bitterly.
Zhu Jin stood at the corner of the table, looking down at her with heartache and worry in his eyes.
He placed one hand on the chair Zhou Wu was sitting in and the other hand on the corner of the table.
The two were very close, yet there was no physical contact between them. From Shen Shuangmiao's perspective, it appeared as if Zhu Jin was completely enveloping Zhou Wu in his arms.
This action made her breath catch in her throat.
Shen Shuangmiao pursed her lips and walked over step by step.
Zhu Jin's face darkened: "What are you doing here? How did you get in?"
His tone was as if he were addressing a completely unwelcome intruder.
Shen Shuangmiao remained expressionless as she questioned, "Why are you deliberately making things difficult for Fu Xuan? President Zhu, if I may be frank, you are merely one of the investors. The real partner we are cooperating with is not your company. If your friend's friend is causing endless delays in our work due to your obstruction, how can you be so shameless?"
She immediately launched into a stern and harsh interrogation, giving Zhu Jin no chance to react.
Zhou Wu, her face still streaked with tears, immediately stood up upon hearing this.
"That's not how it is, Miaomiao. You've misunderstood Ah Jin. He didn't target Fu Xuan for no reason..."
“Even if there is a reason, one should not use public office to settle personal scores. I believe President Zhu has basic professional ethics.”
Shen Shuangmiao lightly interrupted her, staring at Zhu Jin with dissatisfaction from beginning to end.
Zhu Jin's expression was inscrutable, his eyes swirling with a storm.
He didn't get angry, but just scoffed lightly: "Shen Shuangmiao, you're really something, coming all the way here on the weekend to interrogate me for the sake of your man."
"However, today I'm targeting Fu Xuan specifically. What can you do about it?"
Zhu Jin, with his hands in his pockets, lazily gazed at Shen Shuangmiao, as if determined to see her make a fool of herself.
Shen Shuangmiao clenched her fists tightly, not expecting him to be so fearless.
"Reason? If you don't give a legitimate reason, I will expose your actions to the media. You've made things difficult for your ex-wife's employees; you're immoral and intolerant. Does that mean you don't care?"
When she gets angry, she doesn't behave like her usual calm self.
Zhu Jin already knew this.
He knew that Shen Shuangmiao would turn from a docile rabbit into a wild cat with bloodshot eyes, and would strike without warning.
Zhu Jin stared at her coldly, his eyes flashing with a sharp and intimidating light.
Seeing this, Zhou Wu quickly stood between them and gave Shen Shuangmiao a bitter smile.
"Miaomiao, don't blame Ajin. Blame me instead. He targeted Fu Xuan because of me."
Shen Shuangmiao stared at her intently: "Because of you?"
"right."
Zhou Wu sighed: "A few days ago, Ah Jin and I ran into Fu Xuan. I saw that he was your employee, so I greeted him. But Fu Xuan made some rude and sarcastic remarks about me. I was heartbroken for several days, and that's when Ah Jin couldn't stand it anymore and took action against him."
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said apologetically, "It's all my fault for causing you trouble. I will persuade Ah Jin to stop targeting you."
Shen Shuangmiao looked at Zhou Wu's pitiful appearance quietly and suddenly found it laughable.
In that case, there is absolutely no credibility.
If Zhou Wu really felt like he was causing her trouble, he wouldn't still be putting on a sad face.
She wouldn't have waited until now, when she came to him, to say she wanted to persuade Zhu Jin.
Before she came in, she could hear clearly that Zhu Jin and Zhao Dong were taking turns trying to comfort Zhou Wu and tell her not to be sad.
Shen Shuangmiao slowly exhaled: "I don't believe Fu Xuan is that kind of person. He has always been mature and steady. Even if he encounters someone he dislikes, he won't openly break off relations. I can't believe your one-sided story."
Zhou Wu was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Shen Shuangmiao took out her phone and called Fu Xuan.
As soon as the call connected, she asked, "Did you run into Ms. Zhou a few days ago? Did you have an argument with her?"
Fu Xuan paused for a moment, then complained on the phone, "When Zhou Wu saw that I came by myself, he asked how my foot injury was, and said that he didn't have time to come and visit you."
"I just said something like, 'She has time to accompany Zhu Jin to visit other companies but not time to go see you or even make a phone call to ask how you are. That's too fake.'"
"What, is it because of this that Zhu Jin is deliberately targeting us?"
Shen Shuangmiao stared directly at Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu's eyes flickered, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Okay, I understand. We'll talk about it later."
Shen Shuangmiao hung up the phone and gripped it tightly.
"Give me an explanation?"
