At this moment, An Zhengrong sat in the car and once again felt grateful for his mother's kindness.
I started the car and parked it downstairs at my mother's house. I wanted to open the car door and go up to check on her, but my hand seemed to be frozen. My hand on the door handle couldn't bring itself to press the open button.
He knew that going up there would only make her laugh at him. His inner chauvinism and pride had already been severely damaged by Li Yushu's affair, and he absolutely couldn't allow himself to be ridiculed by his mother.
An Zhengrong shook his head one last time, restarted the car, and drove away...
Back in the villa, looking at the wedding photo of him and Li Yushu hanging in the living room, he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Zhang Ma!" An Zhengrong shouted from the living room.
"Master," Zhang Ma called out as she rushed over, still wearing her apron, wiping her hands casually on it. She was busy preparing lunch in the kitchen.
"Take this photo down, it's an eyesore," An Zhengrong said irritably, pointing to the wedding photo on the wall.
"Master, this..."
Zhang Ma hesitated for a moment, after all, it was the master and mistress's wedding photo.
It was because my wife liked it that we enlarged the photo and hung it on the living room wall.
Now... what's going on here?
Does your wife know?
Just as Zhang Ma was hesitating and guessing the reason, An Zhengrong spoke up again: "What, does my word no longer carry weight?"
“No, sir. I’ll have someone take it down right away. But… this photo is too big, where will we put it after we take it down?” Zhang Ma asked tentatively.
"Hmph, useless stuff, just throw it away!"
After saying that, An Zhengrong turned around and went straight upstairs to his study on the second floor.
Standing there, Zhang Ma was at a loss. She walked to a corner and made a phone call to Li Yushu.
When the phone rang, Li Yushu was in Chen Nan's arms. When she saw the caller ID "Zhang Ma," her heart skipped a beat.
"Hello, Aunt Zhang. What's wrong?"
"Madam, where are you? When Master came back from his trip today, he told me to take down your and Master's wedding dresses in the living room and throw them away! I'm not sure what to do."
Zhang Ma hid in a corner and whispered to Li Yushu, her eyes glancing frequently towards the stairs, worried that An Zhengrong might suddenly appear.
"Where did the master go today?" Li Yushu asked Zhang Ma over the phone.
“Madam, I don’t know. Master went out not long after you left and just returned.”
Zhang Ma told Li Yushu the truth.
For some reason, Li Yushu's heart was pounding in her chest.
She wondered, "Could he... be following me?"
When a person makes a mistake, they feel guilty, and when they feel guilty, they start to think about many things.
"I understand, Aunt Zhang. Don't worry about the wedding photos for now, I'll wait until I get back," Li Yushu said, feigning composure, before hanging up the phone.
He looked at Chen Nan beside him with a nervous expression.
"Xiao Shu, what's wrong?" Chen Nan leaned back against the headboard of the large bed, casually playing with Li Yushu's hair.
"Chen Nan, do you think... he doesn't know about us anymore?"
Li Yushu turned her head and looked at Chen Nan with a nervous expression, unable to hide her unease.
"It's alright, Xiaoshu. So what if he finds out? At worst, you can divorce him, and I'll marry you!"
Chen Nan's words did not offer Li Yushu much psychological comfort.
Although she no longer has the same feelings for An Zhengrong as before, An Zhengrong's status is still a factor!
As An Zhengrong's wife, she appears to be living a glamorous life! But... if she marries Chen Nan... she will completely lose all connection with high society for the rest of her life.
She didn't want it to be like this. She didn't want to be kicked out of high society, and she didn't want to be looked down upon by her former friends.
"But... if he finds out, then I'll be the one at fault, and public opinion will probably crush me."
At this moment, Li Yushu naturally wouldn't reveal her true feelings, and looked at Chen Nan with a wronged expression.
Chen Nan, however, was completely swayed by Li Yushu's charms. Because he secretly admired her, he always granted her every request.
"Don't worry, it's okay even if he finds out. I'm here, none of this will be your fault."
Chen Nan pulled Li Yushu into his arms and gently coaxed her, trying to distract her.
At this moment, no one could have imagined that Chen Nan, who was shrewd and ruthless in his dealings with outsiders, would lose his "eyes" for such a woman.
At this moment, Li Yushu lay in Chen Nan's arms, feeling extremely uneasy. So she said goodbye to Chen Nan and returned to the An family villa.
"Madam, you're back. Master has been in his study the whole time and hasn't come out."
"I see."
Before going upstairs, Li Yushu glanced at the wedding photos on the wall, feeling a pang of heartache.
Li Yushu turned the doorknob of the study and found that An Zhengrong had locked the door from the inside, so she couldn't get in.
"Honey, are you in there? Aunt Zhang has prepared lunch, it's ready to eat."
Li Yushu stood outside the door and knocked. Her voice and tone were no different from usual, so no one could detect anything wrong.
Only An Zhengrong, sitting in the chair inside the room, knew how much torment he was going through. What a good actress!
Click, the sound of a lock being opened inside. An Zhengrong didn't even glance at Li Yushu before opening the door and walking inside.
Li Yushu wasn't angry and walked into the house with a smile.
"Honey? Are you going downstairs for dinner?"
Li Yushu tentatively walked up to An Zhengrong, trying to take his arm. But An Zhengrong shook her off.
"How come I never noticed before that you're such a good actor? It's a real shame you're not an actor!"
An Zhengrong turned around and looked at Li Yushu with a cold expression.
If An Zhengrong had a knife by his side right now, he would definitely have taken care of this slut himself!
"You...you must be joking!" Li Yushu was already panicking, but she still had some hope.
An Zhengrong was like a bloodthirsty beast at this moment, grabbing Li Yushu by the neck and pressing her down on the desk.
"You know perfectly well what you've done. Do you need me to help you recall it?"
Li Yushu was completely unprepared for An Zhengrong's sudden outburst and could only let him do as he pleased, constantly hitting An Zhengrong's hand that was choking her neck.
"Let me go! I can't breathe!"
Li Yushu pounded on her chest while crying for help. Her entire face was flushed red from lack of oxygen.
"What right do you have to tell me to let you go! You fickle woman!" An Zhengrong's eyes were bloodshot, and his hand gripping Li Yushu's neck showed no sign of loosening.
In the chaos, Li Yushu grabbed the glass ashtray on the desk and smashed it down on An Zhengrong's head without hesitation.
