Ye Zhao was lost in her own thoughts and didn't hear the commotion outside.
"Where is he?" Shen Du asked in a low voice.
Aunt Wang pointed to the inner room and replied, "They've eaten and are resting."
Shen Du frowned and asked again, "What is Shen Jiayi doing here?"
Aunt Wang shook her head and replied, "I don't know, but it seems she doesn't get along with Miss Ye, and she doesn't speak very nicely to her."
Not getting along well? Didn't Shen Jiayi and Ye Zhao used to be good friends? They often hung out together.
Upon hearing this, Shen Du simply nodded thoughtfully, said nothing more, and went into the inner room.
Ye Zhao leaned back in her chair, unaware that there was someone behind her, still lost in thought.
While it's true that having a powerful backer is beneficial, there are also risks involved, right? Unless she signs an agreement with Shen Du to reduce unnecessary contact in the future, but who knows if Shen Du will agree to her unreasonable conditions?
"This is really difficult," Ye Zhao sighed.
"Shen Jiayi came by?"
A man's voice suddenly came from behind, startling Ye Zhao. She looked over with a less-than-friendly expression and said, "You scared me!"
After waiting for her to calm down, Chen Du asked again, "What did she come here for?"
Ye Zhao leaned back in her chair and answered without hesitation, "It's nothing, they're just insulting me. They say my treatment has improved because I'm pregnant, and that it's hard to get into the Shen family..."
Shen Du looked surprised, seemingly not expecting Ye Zhao to so openly reveal these things.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Ye Zhao asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Every time this old man comes to see her, it's without a purpose. Ye Zhao is used to it, but she's happy to take a few more glances at handsome men, even though they're only good for admiring from afar and not for touching.
"I came to ask you how your thinking is going?" For some reason, Shen Du did not mention the photo.
Ye Zhao still didn't understand how to write the agreement, so she simply shook her head: "No, give me two more days, I'll contact you when I've thought it through."
Shen Du nodded thoughtfully. Ye Zhao was puzzled when he didn't speak. Just as she was about to ask him a question, he turned and left without looking back.
Ye Zhao: ...Is this person alright?
As soon as Shen Du got into his car after leaving the hospital, he received a call from Lin Yi.
"President Shen, we've found out."
"explain."
"The person who sent you the message is the son of the Ye family's maid. We have already apprehended him. This whole thing was a conspiracy between the mother and son. As for the person in the photo... we haven't found any information about him yet."
"Understood. Tie those two up and hand them over to Ye Feng. Let him handle it."
"yes."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Du remained frowning.
The next morning, Ye Zhao took a stroll downstairs and went upstairs in a very good mood, but as soon as she entered the door and saw Ye Feng sitting on the sofa, her good mood was a little hard to maintain.
When Ye Feng saw her, his eyes lit up instantly, and he stood up to greet her warmly.
"Is your morning sickness any better? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Ye Zhao didn't respond, and asked expressionlessly, "What brings you here? Is there something you need?"
Ye Feng smiled somewhat awkwardly, glanced at Aunt Wang beside him, and Aunt Wang tactfully closed the door and left.
Ye Feng then looked at Ye Zhao and asked somewhat nervously, "Zhao Zhao, has President Shen said how to deal with those two people?"
Ye Zhao looked completely bewildered: "What two people?"
Ye Feng was taken aback: "You didn't know?"
Ye Zhao suddenly had a bad feeling and asked, "What do you know?"
Ye Feng sighed and said, "Last night, Assistant Lin tied up Zhang Ma and her son and dumped them on me, saying that the mother and son were extorting money and asked me to deal with it."
Upon hearing the words "extortion," Ye Zhao suddenly thought of the two text messages and felt uneasy. He wondered what those two had sent to Chen Du. He had come over last night but hadn't mentioned it at all!
Ye Zhao became uneasy and asked again, "What did they do?"
Ye Feng was somewhat puzzled: "Dad doesn't know either, that's why he doesn't know how to handle it!"
Ye Zhao was speechless, and immediately said, "Then ask them what they're using to blackmail Chen Du."
Ye Feng noticed her strange expression before whispering, "Assistant Lin took all the photos, but Aunt Zhang did say something, that... they showed you lying in bed with another man..."
"What?" Ye Zhao's eyes widened in disbelief.
Ye Feng immediately said, "Dad doesn't believe it either. What kind of photos could Aunt Zhang take at home? Besides Chen Du, you've never brought any other men back. How could there be photos of you with men?"
Ye Zhao suddenly remembered the thoughtful look on Shen Du's face when he came over last night. This man is really good at hiding his true feelings!
Ye Zhao was now very curious about what photos Chen Du had seen, who the man she had slept with was, and why he had left the person to Ye Feng to deal with.
Seeing that Ye Zhao also looked bewildered, Ye Feng couldn't help but ask, "Zhao Zhao, what's the best way to handle this person?"
Ye Zhao pondered for a moment and replied, "No rush, let me ask Chen Du first."
"Okay!"
After he finished speaking, he asked nervously, "What if President Shen asks about it?"
"What do you mean, what to do?"
"About the photos..."
Ye Zhao sighed softly. She was completely clueless too, and replied in despair, "Cold scrambled eggs."
Whatever, do whatever you want!
After Ye Feng left, Ye Zhao picked up her phone and looked at it over and over, trying to find any clues, but she couldn't find a single trace.
Ye Zhao's phone has very few male contacts, and they're the kind of people she's added as friends with but hardly ever contact. What is she supposed to do?
Forget it, let's just contact Chen Du directly. Whether we stick our necks out or not, we'll get hurt anyway, so it's better to get it over with quickly.
Despite thinking this way, Ye Zhao hesitated until the afternoon before deciding to send a message to Chen Du, sending only one sentence.
"Come to the hospital when you have time. There's something I want to talk to you about."
There was no reply from the other end, and Ye Zhao didn't know whether he had received it or not. She waited anxiously until evening and was absent-minded during dinner.
Just as she was engrossed in eating, the door suddenly opened from the outside. Ye Zhao looked up and saw an unfamiliar face.
The person who came was dressed very casually, in loose blue jeans and a white t-shirt. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a buzz cut, giving off a lazy yet handsome vibe.
He stood casually in the doorway with his hands in his pockets, his expression unfriendly as he looked at Ye Zhao. He glanced around the table and scoffed.
This handsome guy, did he come to the wrong door? He doesn't really look like it. Ye Zhao stared at him blankly, and the next second when he heard him open his mouth to speak, his face was filled with only fear.
"Eating so much, what a blessing!"
Ye Zhao's mouth was agape enough to fit a boiled egg. This handsome guy... is a woman?
Her voice is so delicate.
