Chen Jiayi frowned. "Are these people out of their minds?"
What if the car doesn't stop?
A hint of impatience flashed in Shen Jialiang's eyes, but he showed no impatience toward Chen Jiayi.
"Sit still, I'll take care of it."
Chen Jiayi nodded, and Shen Jialiang opened the car door.
The moment they got out of the car, the reporters on Shen Jialiang's side started snapping photos of them and bombarded them with one tricky question after another.
"Professor Shen, I heard that you felt you were drugged when you married the Chen family's daughter. Did you marry her willingly?"
"Professor Shen, did you send Miss Chen home because of the June 23 incident?"
"Mr. Shen, why did the worker fall to his death during the argument while working at height? Does this indicate that the Chen family's measures were inadequate, and that they did not carefully check the worker before putting him down to work? Can you answer my question?"
"..."
One question after another came in quick succession, and Shen Jialiang was surrounded by a group of reporters.
Shen Jialiang frowned. "If you continue to block our way, I can call the police and have you all taken to the police station. This constitutes a blockade; what are you trying to do to us?"
The reporter completely ignored Shen Jialiang and kept asking other questions.
One microphone after another was practically shoving into Shen Jialiang's mouth.
"Mr. Shen, could you please answer my question directly?"
"Mr. Shen, was your marriage to Ms. Chen out of necessity? Will you issue a clarification statement on behalf of the Chen family?"
"..."
Chen Jiayi was furious. These people were so rude, constantly blocking her way.
Fortunately, the community security guards were very helpful. After seeing that the person who got out of the car was Shen Jialiang, they knew that Shen Jialiang was the son-in-law of Chen, the richest man in the community. They immediately called a team of security guards over and drove away all the people who were blocking the gate.
The road ahead widened, and Shen Jialiang quickly got into the car. The moment he sat down, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"These people are terrifying."
Chen Jiayi nodded in agreement.
These people acted like they had no regard for their lives or their shamelessness, which frightened Chen Meiyuan.
Fortunately, the community security guards were very helpful!
The car drove smoothly into the residential area, and Chen Jiayi and Shen Jialiang returned to the Chen family home together.
At this moment, Lan Meixuan, Chen Qiming, and several other business partners were sitting together at Chen's house discussing work matters.
When they saw Chen Jiayi return, surprise flashed in everyone's eyes.
Lan Meixuan immediately realized that the news must have reached Chen Jiayi's ears.
She stood up, looking surprised.
"Jiajia, why are you back?"
Lan Meixuan originally liked to call her daughter Jiayi, feeling that the two words had a very beautiful meaning.
But I've gotten used to Shen Jialiang calling her Jiajia, so I think calling Chen Jiayi Jiajia is quite convenient too.
Chen Jiayi glanced at everyone in the living room and greeted them one by one.
"Mom, Dad. Uncle Chen, Uncle Zhao..."
When the people in the living room saw Chen Jiayi return, their expressions varied, but when they heard Chen Jiayi call out to them, they still smiled and responded.
Lan Meixuan led Chen Jiayi upstairs.
Their house is in a villa community. Originally, it only had two floors, but after they made money, they started to expand and added three more floors.
Finally, there's a five-story detached villa!
Chen Jiayi lives on the third floor. She doesn't like climbing up and down. The second floor is where Chen's housekeeper lives, and there are also guest rooms.
She lives alone on the third floor, which has almost all the furniture and appliances.
While others struggled to make ends meet, Chen Qiming earned money through his own abilities to provide a good life for his wife and daughter.
Looking at the third floor, which was basically unchanged and locked, Chen Jiayi understood that her parents had always reserved the third floor for her.
When I opened it, the inside was spotless.
Chen Jiayi knew that Lan Meixuan had hired an aunt to plan her house.
Since Chen Jiayi came back, only Aunt Wang used to cook at home, but sometimes when Aunt Wang was off, Lan Meixuan and Chen Qiming would just eat whatever was available if Chen Jiayi wasn't home.
But after Chen Jiayi returned, her parents specially hired another cook, whose cooking style suited Chen Jiayi's taste perfectly.
There are two cooks who take turns working. There's also a cleaning lady, of course; the Chen family's villa is large, and cleaning it every day is a problem.
The Chen family has about six cleaning ladies. Three is a bit too few, four is an unlucky number, and five would be one short when they work shifts. Six is just right.
The cleaning staff, cooks, and drivers all live on the second floor. There are also several south-facing guest rooms on the second floor, each with its own small balcony and toilet.
Chen Jiayi and Shen Jialiang sat together on the sofa. Originally, Lan Meixuan was downstairs entertaining guests, but now that her daughter was back, she naturally had to stay with her.
Lan Meixuan asked her aunt to pour water and brewed some newly harvested tea leaves, the aroma of which filled the air.
"Jiajia, did you come back specifically because you found out about that matter?"
Chen Jiayi nodded. "Mom, what exactly happened?"
There were many rumors circulating outside, but Chen Jiayi only heard Chi Mengqiu explain it in detail.
Lan Meixuan put down her teacup and sighed.
"You silly child, you should just focus on your studies at school. Why did you make a special trip back? Xiao Shen even came back with you. Isn't this a waste of your time?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Jialiang immediately spoke up.
"Mom, I'm not busy with work."
Lan Meixuan glared at Shen Jialiang, knowing full well that he was just trying to appease her.
If I weren't really busy, I wouldn't have only had time to teach Chen Jiayi on weekends.
Lan Meixuan sighed softly, "Since you've all come back, it means you already know about this. There's no harm in telling you."
Lan Meixuan recounted the story in detail.
She said that on the morning of the 24th, a sanitation worker who got up early to clean the streets discovered a body.
She was so frightened that she screamed repeatedly, which attracted the attention of passersby, who eventually called the police.
After the call was made, the police arrived quickly.
The scene was sealed off immediately, and not many people knew about it. It was around 5 or 6 a.m., and the police arrived at the scene in just 20 minutes.
Therefore, this matter should not be spreading everywhere!
In fact, if it were just a staff member witnessing an ordinary person committing murder, it probably wouldn't have generated any buzz.
But that person happened to be a government employee, and he and his wife were a model couple in public.
The investigation revealed that the man's long-term infidelity had driven his wife to the point where she could no longer tolerate the hypocrisy of their marriage and needed a divorce.
The husband was provoked and felt that his wife had cheated on him by having another man, which is why he wanted a divorce.
Finally, the two started arguing, and the argument escalated...
Then, the man flew into a rage, ran to the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and scared his wife so much that she tried to run away, but he grabbed her and viciously slashed her with the knife.
The man was momentarily brought to his senses after his wife's death.
