Seeing her initial attempts to sow discord had failed, Jiang Yao's jealousy and resentment burned like wildfire. She was determined to destroy the relationship between Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen, and she wouldn't give up until she achieved her goal. So, she began meticulously planning a second attempt.
Jiang Yao knew that if she wanted Jiang Zhi to have greater suspicion of Shen Qingchen, she had to create a more realistic scene. She spent a lot of time and energy looking for a suitable candidate, who had to be both good-looking and have certain acting skills. After some twists and turns, she finally found a woman named Su Yao. Su Yao was a small-time actress who had always longed for the opportunity to play some important roles, but she had always been in a tepid state in the entertainment industry. When Jiang Yao found her, she promised her a generous reward as long as she could do what she asked. Seeing Jiang Yao's generosity and thinking that it was just a small prank and there would be no serious consequences, Su Yao happily agreed.
Jiang Yao first gave Su Yao a detailed account of Shen Qingchen and Jiang Zhi, including their appearances, personalities, and the story of their relationship. She urged Su Yao to memorize every detail so she could appear more authentic and believable in her conversation with Jiang Zhi. Jiang Yao then taught Su Yao some conversational techniques and strategies, including how to convey an ambiguous tone on the phone and how to inadvertently reveal her "old feelings" for Shen Qingchen.
After everything was ready, Jiang Yao began looking for the right moment for Su Yao to call Jiang Zhi. That day, Jiang Zhi had just finished an important meeting and was feeling exhausted. She returned to her office and was about to take a break when her phone rang. Jiang Zhi saw it was an unfamiliar number, but she politely answered it anyway.
A gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Miss Jiang Zhi?" Jiang Zhi replied: "Yes, who are you?" Su Yao said according to the lines Jiang Yao taught her in advance: "Miss Jiang Zhi, you may not know me, but I want to talk to you about Qingchen." When Jiang Zhi heard that it was about Shen Qingchen, she became alert and asked: "What is your relationship with Qingchen?" Su Yao laughed softly, and this laughter was full of provocation and ambiguity in Jiang Zhi's ears. Su Yao said: "Miss Jiang Zhi, Qingchen and I had a good memory. We spent many unforgettable times together, and he was very gentle and considerate to me. Although we are separated now, I know that he always has me in his heart."
When Jiang Zhi heard these words, she felt like she was hit hard in the heart. She tried to keep herself calm and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Qingchen loves me now, and we are already married." But Su Yao continued calmly, "So what if we are married? Love cannot be bound by marriage. Miss Jiang Zhi, don't you notice that Qingchen sometimes looks at you with longing for me in his eyes? When he is with you, he occasionally calls my name by the wrong name." Jiang Zhi's face turned pale. She held the phone tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Don't say anything more. I won't believe you."
However, Su Yao's words were like the whispers of a demon, constantly echoing in Jiang Zhi's mind. Although she told herself not to believe the words of this strange woman, those words still pierced her heart like thorns. Jiang Zhi began to recall every detail of her time with Shen Qingchen. She tried to find evidence to refute Su Yao from those memories, but her thoughts were already in turmoil.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhi sat in a chair, unable to calm down for a long time. Her heart was in a huge struggle. On the one hand, she loved Shen Qingchen deeply and believed in his feelings for her; on the other hand, Su Yao's words made her deeply suspicious. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to go directly to Shen Qingchen to ask for clarification, but she was afraid of getting an answer she didn't want to hear.
Shen Qingchen noticed something was wrong with Jiang Zhi. He found that Jiang Zhi had been worried lately and was not as enthusiastic towards him as before. In the past, Jiang Zhi would always greet him cheerfully and give him a warm hug when he got home from work. But now, Jiang Zhi just glanced at him indifferently and then went about her business silently. Shen Qingchen felt very confused. He didn't understand why Jiang Zhi suddenly became so cold.
He tried to communicate with Jiang Zhi. Once, he walked to Jiang Zhi who was in a daze, gently held her hand, and asked: "Zhizhi, what's wrong with you recently? Is there something on your mind? You can tell me, no matter what happens, we can face it together." Jiang Zhi raised her head and looked at Shen Qingchen's eyes full of concern. Her heart ached. She wanted to tell Shen Qingchen about the phone call, but she found it difficult to speak. She was afraid that once she said it, it would destroy the relationship between them. So, she just shook her head and said: "Nothing, maybe I'm a little tired from work recently."
Shen Qingchen knew Jiang Zhi was hiding something, and he felt uneasy. He decided to pay closer attention to Jiang Zhi's every move and find out why she became so cold. Jiang Zhi, on the other hand, was sinking deeper and deeper into inner conflict. She didn't know how to face Shen Qingchen, nor did she know how to deal with the doubts in her heart.
During this process, Jiang Yao had been secretly observing their situation. She saw that Jiang Zhi's attitude towards Shen Qingchen had changed, and she was secretly proud of it. She felt that her plan had achieved initial success. As long as she gave Jiang Zhi a little more provocation, she would be able to completely destroy their relationship. So, she asked Su Yao to send some ambiguous text messages to Jiang Zhi, which were full of thoughts about Shen Qingchen and provocations to Jiang Zhi.
