As Nangong Jin stepped out of the Gu family's gate, she suddenly felt a chill.
He reflexively looked into the house and was shocked to see his mother standing in the yard, glaring at him.
Good morning, Mom!
"I'm not good at all!"
“Let’s go inside and talk. It’s early in the morning, and I don’t want to argue with you.”
"Did I tell you to go home? Besides, you don't even consider this your home."
"I'll talk to you after you've calmed down. I'm going back now."
"What were you doing the day before yesterday? Why didn't you pick up Rui Rui? Why didn't you call your dad?"
"You've taken gunpowder, I'm not talking to you."
"If you don't tell me, how can I find out?"
"Mom, do you have to be so harsh and critical of your son? Over the years, no matter what I do, you've always found fault with me. All you want is for me to marry her. Is this fair to me?"
Before Su Rui could reply, Gu Yi'an was already standing at the door, ready to retort.
"You, surnamed Nangong, stop trying to make yourself look good. You want to marry me? My daughter doesn't want to marry you! If it weren't for the child, we wouldn't even bother with you!"
Nangong Jin looked at her mother and said, "You've argued enough, are you satisfied now?"
After saying that, Nangong Jin got into the car and left.
Gu Yi'an also went home and closed the door.
Su Rui continued to stare coldly in the direction her son had driven off.
It's clearly his foul mouth that's annoying, yet he blames her. Nangong Jin has such a thick skin!
That son is still as infuriating as ever!
...
Only after returning to his villa did Nangong Jin have time to check his phone.
All the missed calls he received were from Zhou Hui last night.
The unread WeChat message was also from Zhou Hui.
After reading the WeChat message, Nangong Jin immediately called Zhou Hui back.
"Sorry, I didn't bring my phone yesterday. Have you treated your hand? Is it alright?"
Zhou Hui did not expose Nangong Jin's excuse.
The fact that he was willing to call her at least shows that there's still a chance, and that he still cares about her.
"It's alright! I went to the pharmacy last night, and the lady there treated my wound. She's put a band-aid on it now. It's not a deep wound, so I don't need to go to the hospital for a tetanus shot."
"I'm glad you're alright."
"I have to go out to meet a client. I'll talk to you again when I have time."
Okay, bye-bye!
Lying on the sofa, Nangong Jin felt inexplicably irritable.
He ripped off his tie and threw it on the coffee table.
He took out his cigarette case, casually picked up a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it, and started smoking.
...
On Saturday, Jiang Zhi did not go to work; he only processed some documents and reports online.
Upon receiving news about the matter that Master Zhi had asked him to investigate, Qin Yun immediately reported it by phone.
“Master Zhi, we’ve investigated. Zhou Hui returned to China alone. She’s not divorced yet, but she’s probably planning to. Her husband, Wang Ming, failed in his investments last year and is heavily in debt. Currently, Zhou Hui works as a translator at a consulting firm, and she… is living in the house registered under Jin Shao’s name.”
Jiang Zhi's eyes gleamed with cunning, and he decisively ordered, "Qin Yun, contact Wang Ming and find out about his situation with Zhou Hui. Act according to the circumstances and have Wang Ming come to Haicheng."
"Master Zhi, are you saying... Wang Ming doesn't know Zhou Hui wants a divorce? So, she's now trying to hook up with Young Master Jin to find another backer for herself?"
"Find a way to get information out of Wang Ming. Just a little bit from you and we'll know everything about their marriage. The bad guys will be dealt with by the bad guys themselves."
"Okay, I'll contact Wang Ming right now."
"Qin Yun, be careful not to alert her! It would be bad if she hid and didn't reveal her true form."
"I know, I will be careful!"
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Zhi said, "Check the events of a few years ago again, how Zhou Hui and Wang Ming met. It seems that after breaking up with A Jin, she turned around and married Wang Ming, and even went to the United States. It looks like she married him out of spite. Dig a little deeper, maybe you'll find something unexpected."
"Okay, I'll investigate further."
"It's alright, go and take care of it right away."
...
Changge is quite good. Jiang Zhi has known her for many years. Although he knows that she and Zhou Hui have always been at odds, it's normal for women to be jealous, but there must be a reason why she has been targeting him all along.
Changge likes Ajin so much, it must be for his own good, she doesn't seem like a scheming or manipulative woman.
In the past, Ah Jin was deeply in love and wouldn't listen to anything anyone said; he simply believed that Zhou Hui was his perfect goddess.
Without some substantial evidence, he certainly wouldn't believe what others say.
Jiang Zhi was deep in thought when Qiao Chu walked up behind him and hugged him.
"Honey, what's on your mind?"
Jiang Zhi grinned and said, "I've figured out the fox's tail is about to be revealed. Soon we'll be able to expose the fox spirit's true colors."
Qiao Chu laughed too, "A woman's intuition is really accurate! That woman definitely has something going on, believe me!"
"Honey, you've met Changge and spent some time with her. What kind of person do you think she is?"
"She used to be straightforward, the kind of person who dared to do what she wanted and say what she wanted. Now, she's more mature, more reserved and composed. Perhaps she's been through some things, because now she seems a bit aloof and has learned to hide her true emotions."
“Your analysis is quite good. Changge used to be straightforward and dared to say and do anything. In the eyes of adults, she was willful. Now, she talks much less and has a calm and collected demeanor. She has argued with Zhou Hui many times. I heard from Ajin that she even hit Zhou Hui.”
Do you believe she hit Zhou Hui?
"They should have been hit, but it's not necessarily true that she started it."
"The person who seems most innocent may not actually be innocent. Generally speaking, people tend to sympathize with the weak."
"My wife is right!"
"Why don't you remind Nangong Jin? At least let him know where the bottom line is."
"I know, I'll call him right away."
...
Nangong Jin finished showering and changing her clothes, and was preparing to return to the hospital.
Suddenly, I received a call from Jiang Zhi.
"Just tell me what's on your mind, I don't have time to waste with your nonsense."
"You know Zhou Hui is married, right? Don't blame me for reminding you, but now she's a married woman, so you two should keep your distance. Her husband doesn't believe in platonic friendships, so you don't end up getting yourself into trouble."
"You called me just to say this? Jiang Zhi, you've been too idle lately!"
"Did you ask her why she went back to Haicheng? Does her husband know she's back? Do you know anything about her married life? Ah Jin, being a nice guy isn't easy. You need to know when to stop! You two broke up a long time ago. There's no one who owes anyone anything. It's best if you both live peacefully!"
"Did my mom send you to talk to me? Or did Gu Changge say something to you?"
"I'm reminding you because I care about you. Don't lose sight of the big picture!"
"I'm completely honest and upright, and I haven't done anything wrong. Whether you believe me or not, I'm going back to the hospital now, and I'm not going to waste any more words with you."
"Is that what you think? Would she think that way?"
