Chapter 68 Because of Chen Xi
I walked quickly to the window and looked at the back garden below. A minute passed and I didn't notice any movement. Then I looked at the small gap that was opened for no reason and felt more scared than when I had a nightmare.
I hurriedly closed the windows and drew the curtains, wondering whether I should find a decorator tomorrow to help me install anti-theft windows or something.
I slept in the second half of the night feeling a little uneasy. When I got up, I opened the curtains and looked at the window. It was closed tightly and there was nothing unusual.
"That's weird." I muttered to myself.
But just in case, I'll go find a decorator after get off work.
After breakfast, I told Liu Ma about this and asked her to help me contact a decorator. As for the details, I asked the decorator to call me when the time comes and I would discuss it with him in detail.
In the morning, I went to the hospital to accompany Xiao Shi to complete the discharge procedures, and then returned to the company with Xiao Shi. After Xiao Shi returned to the company, he received a call and hurried out.
I was alone in the office typing documents. Half an hour later, the detective sent me information about Jiang Nianhao's sweetheart in Beicheng. Her name was Wu Yi, she was 22 years old, and a beautiful woman who had undergone plastic surgery.
There was contact information in the information, and my phone happened to have dual SIM cards, so I used my newly bought phone number to send her Jiang Nianhao's message and video.
After a while, Wu Yi called me. I didn't answer the call. I just hung up and sent her a message, asking her to text me.
Wu Yi asked me who I was, and I lied to her that I was Jiang Nianhao's ex-woman. I thought that Jiang Nianhao was so fickle, and he must have had many women before Wu Yi.
"Jiang Nianhao once used my poor health to trick me into breaking up with me, but I found out that he just dumped me because he had a new love." I replied.
Wu Yi said, "So that's how it is. No wonder Jiang Nianhao broke up with her two months after returning to Nancheng. It seems that it's not a health problem."
"I've been with him for almost two years, and he even said he would marry me and love me forever. I never thought he would lie to me like this. It's really too much."
Wu Yi asked me to tell him who Jiang Nianhao's new love is. She wanted to come to Nancheng to find Jiang Nianhao and this woman to vent her anger.
I told Wu Yi Tian Rong's name and told her that I was in Nancheng. I also said that I hated Jiang Nianhao now. When she came to Nancheng, I asked her to tell me if she needed anything.
Wu Yi agreed.
After hanging up the phone, I looked at Wu Yi's information carefully. Wu Yi lost her virginity at the age of sixteen and had been with several powerful men.
Given her personality, although she cannot defeat Tian Rong, she can still make Tian Rong unhappy for a few days. When the time comes, I will let Wang Yingzhi come back.
When I got off work in the evening, Xiao Shi had not returned yet. I left the company and planned to take a bus home, but as soon as I arrived at the company gate, I saw Jiang Ruohe's car parked there. When he saw me come out, he immediately got out of the car and opened the door.
I walked up to him with a depressed look on my face and asked Jiang Ruohe what he was going to do.
"To pick you up from get off work."
"I just boasted in front of the media yesterday. Even if it was fake, I have to pretend." Jiang Ruohe looked at me with a smile.
The corner of my mouth twitched, and I glared at him, intending to refuse him, but Jiang Ruohe pushed him into the car. I hurriedly protected my stomach and turned to glare at Jiang Ruohe.
"Don't push me."
Jiang Ruohe was stunned for a moment and said that he pushed my shoulder lightly, without using any force.
He looked at my lower abdomen with some confusion. I quickly let go of his hand, reached out to tidy up my clothes, and said, "I'm hungry."
"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner." Jiang Ruohe immediately got into the car happily, took me to a restaurant, and ordered some dishes.
When I was halfway through the meal, my cell phone rang. The person on the other end said he was a decorator. I remembered that when I left home in the morning, I asked Aunt Liu to help me find a decorator.
The decorator said he was at my house right then and there, and asked if I wanted to install security windows on all the windows on the second floor. He quoted me a price. I checked the time, and he said he could be home in fifteen minutes. He said it wasn't clear over the phone, so I'd go back and talk to him about it after I looked at the materials. He nodded and agreed.
"Do you want to renovate the house?" Jiang Ruohe asked me after I hung up the phone.
I shook my head and said no.
"I want to install burglar-proof windows."
With a snap, Jiang Ruohe's chopsticks fell to the ground. He hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and asked the waiter to change his pair of chopsticks.
"Why do you install anti-theft windows? That's a high-end residential complex, the business is well managed, there are no thieves."
I looked at Jiang Ruohe nervously and said that in the past two days, I always felt that someone had opened the window of my room. Although nothing was lost, I always felt unsafe.
"No, you must be mistaken. I've lived there for so long and didn't notice anything wrong. Besides, there are business regulations. You can't just open the security windows casually. It affects the cityscape."
Jiang Ruohe took my cell phone and called the decorator, saying that his house did not need to install anti-theft windows. He also asked the worker to go to Liu Ma to collect the tip and let him go.
"Can't it be installed? But I heard Aunt Liu say it was okay this morning." I came to my senses belatedly and looked at Jiang Ruohe in confusion.
Jiang Ruohe said that Liu Ma was old and didn't know about these things.
"Have you seen anyone install anti-theft windows in their villas without permission?" Jiang Ruohe asked me back.
I thought about it, shook my head, and said, "Really not."
"That's it, don't worry, it's very safe. You must have remembered it wrongly."
I looked at Jiang Ruohe with some suspicion, wondering, is it because of the pregnancy that my memory has become worse?
"How about this, you try observing for another two days. If the situation still exists, I will talk to the property management and ask them to solve this problem so that you don't have to spend money yourself." Jiang Ruohe looked at me.
I thought about it and nodded. If I paid for the installation myself, it would cost some money.
After dinner, Jiang Ruohe sent me home and went upstairs to check me out. He said that I must have felt wrong.
Jiang Ruohe turned around and looked at me.
"If you're really scared, how about I move back in?"
I glared at him.
"Jiang Ruohe, we are divorced."
Jiang Ruohe shrugged and said, "So what if we get divorced? We've already made big promises in the media. We have to hold on for a while."
"I disagree."
"If you don't agree, forget it." Jiang Ruohe shrugged.
I sat on the bed, tilting my head to look at Jiang Ruohe, who was leaning on the table with his hands on his back, looking lazy.
"Why do I find that you have changed since returning from Qingcheng?"
Jiang Ruohe muttered something quietly with a smile on his face, but I couldn't hear him.
Seeing me looking at him, he looked up and said it was getting late and he had to go back.
After seeing Jiang Ruohe off, I took a shower, took some pregnancy-preserving medicine, and went to bed. I woke up once in the middle of the night, but didn't notice anything unusual by the window, so I fell asleep again.
In the next few days, Jiang Ruohe picked me up from get off work every day, which made me very unhappy.
I was thinking to myself, I've been pregnant for almost two months. If this continues, I'll be exposed.
Another point is that it is not good for him, the general manager of Jiang Group, to come to Minghua to pick up his ex-wife.
Every time he came, my colleagues who were off work would look at me strangely, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
I finally couldn't help but lose my temper. I sat in the car and looked at him coldly.
"Jiang Ruohe, I'm telling you, don't come to pick me up anymore."
"You said you were pretending in front of the media. I've been with you for a few days, and I really can't pretend anymore. Now that our relationship is no longer a hot topic, the media probably won't care. So stop pretending."
"Besides, you're the general manager of Jiang Corporation, how busy are you every day? You have to spend time with me, aren't you tired?"
"If you come again, we won't be friends anymore." I looked at him with a stern face.
A trace of hurt flashed across Jiang Ruohe's eyes, and he lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
I suddenly felt that I was indeed a little harsh in my words. I felt that after becoming pregnant, my temper became a little bad. I wanted to control it, but I couldn't.
"Jiang Ruohe, we can now each find our own happiness, so let's not bother each other too much. Yesterday I went to see grandpa, and he thought we had reconciled. I don't want him to be disappointed." I whispered.
"Okay, I promise."
I nodded, Jiang Ruohe took me home and left.
In the following week, Jiang Ruohe really didn't come to see me. Even when I went to the Jiang family's old house to visit my grandfather, I didn't see him.
I regained the calmness I wanted, but for some reason, every time I left the company after get off work, I felt a little disappointed.
When I was on vacation on Saturday, Wu Yi called me and said she came to Nancheng. I made an excuse, saying that I was married and didn't want my husband to find out about our past. I couldn't meet her for the time being, but we could contact each other by phone. I also asked her for her card number and transferred 20,000 yuan to her, saying that it was my treat for her dinner.
Wu Yi was very happy and said that she had found Tian Rong's address. She planned to take a day off and go to see Tian Rong tomorrow.
I said okay, and after hanging up the phone, I stood in front of the window and stared out quietly.
I feel like I've become the kind of person I hate in order to get revenge, and I've started to become scheming.
I don't like living this kind of life, but when I think of my father's tragic death and the carefree faces of Shen Xiuting and Tian Rong, I know that there is no turning back.
I took out my cell phone, found some old photos of my dad and I, and tears started falling.
"Dad, I will definitely help you get revenge."
I turned around and left the room. Aunt Liu saw me coming downstairs in the living room and asked me if I was going out.
"Well, I'm going to go for a walk."
Aunt Liu said that winter is almost here and the weather is getting colder, so she told me to wear more clothes when going out.
"Thank you, Aunt Liu."
I went upstairs and put on a sweater. I looked at my belly and saw that it was a little bigger than usual. I thought that my belly would grow bigger slowly, so I planned to go out and buy myself a looser cotton jacket, and also bring one for Aunt Liu.
I took my bag and went out to find a store. Outside the store, I saw a long, loose-fitting cotton jacket on a model. Although the color was a bit dark, I knew it would cover my belly.
I went into the store and asked about the price.
"This cotton-padded jacket is for pregnant women. Miss, you are thin, so I suggest you choose a slim-fitting one, like the ones that lady is wearing. They are all suitable for you." The clerk pointed at the woman who was looking at the effect of her clothes in the mirror. It turned out to be Cai Qing, whom he had met once.
Cai Qing was wearing a long white down jacket. She turned around happily and looked at the man sitting on the sofa.
"Ruohe, what do you think of this cotton jacket? I've never worn one that looks so ladylike."
I looked in the direction of Caiqing's voice and saw Jiang Ruohe sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. When he heard Caiqing calling him, he looked up and smiled at Caiqing.
"It turns out that when you wear ladylike clothes, you look very feminine."
Cai Qing blushed and asked, "Is that so?"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Jiang Ruohe smiled at Cai Qing.
Seeing them here, I felt a little embarrassed, looked at the clerk apologetically, and said that such a slim-fitting dress might not suit me, and was about to leave when the sharp-eyed Cai Qing spotted me.
"Sister-in-law." Cai Qing's shout made Jiang Ruohe look up at me. He was stunned for a moment, and soon his eyes turned calm.
I stopped and had no choice but to greet them both, saying that it was really a coincidence that they were there too.
He stood up and looked at Caiqing, saying that we were divorced and asked Caiqing not to call him that in the future.
"Yes, just call me Xiaowan." I said awkwardly.
"Xiaowan, are you here to pick out clothes?" Caiqing asked me.
I nodded and was about to say that the store didn't have the clothes I liked, but Caiqing picked out an orange down jacket and handed it to me, asking me to try it on.
"I studied design. This should look good on you."
I couldn't refuse, so I took off my cotton jacket and put on the down jacket Caiqing gave me.
Caiqing glanced at the down jacket I had put on and smiled.
"Yeah. Xiaowan has a good figure, but she has a little belly. But it doesn't affect it."
After hearing this, Jiang Ruohe glanced at my lower abdomen, and I immediately became nervous.
"Yeah, I haven't been eating a lot lately, and I sit in the office all day. I do have a little belly, and I'm thinking about how to reduce it."
I hurriedly asked the clerk how much the dress cost and I bought it. Caiqing said she would pay for the dress and give it to me as a gift.
When I said I didn't need it, Jiang Ruohe had already taken out his card and paid for my and Caiqing's clothes.
I said thank you to Jiang Ruohe.
"Then I'll go back first."
I hurried out of the store, and soon I heard Jiang Ruohe calling me from behind.
I turned and looked at Jiang Ruohe, who was walking towards me with clothes in his hands.
"Why are you running? You didn't even take your clothes."
"My memory has been bad recently, thank you." I took off my clothes and looked at him.
"No need. Caiqing, let's go. We have a party later." Jiang Ruohe turned and looked at Caiqing who came out carrying clothes.
"Okay, Xiaowan, we'll go first." Caiqing smiled at me.
She took Jiang Ruohe's wrist, and Jiang Ruohe did not refuse. The two of them walked out of the store and got into the car. Jiang Ruohe drove away with Cai Qing.
I stood at the door of the store and saw the car driving away. For some reason, I felt a little anxious.
I didn't know why I felt this way. I looked down at my belly. Then I went back into the store and bought the maternity jacket. Then I went to a nearby store and bought a dress suitable for Liu Ma's age.
When I got home, I called Aunt Liu and handed her the clothes I bought, asking her to try them on. If they didn't fit, I would change them.
Aunt Liu was a little touched and asked me not to be so nice to her.
"Auntie Liu, I've been at the Jiang family for these days. Thanks to your care, in my heart, you're like my mother. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"
Aunt Liu said she also treated me as her daughter.
"It would be great if our young master could see your good side earlier. Xiaowan, I'll make you whatever you want to eat."
After lunch, I went out again and went to Huang Minwei's place.
When I arrived at Huang Minwei's house, I found that the door was not closed tightly. There was a strong smell of alcohol coming from the house, so I hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in.
The room was in a mess, with beer cans everywhere, and Huang Minwei's crying could be heard from the bedroom.
"If no one helps me, what's the point of me living?"
When I pushed open the bedroom door, Huang Minwei was drunk and holding a fruit knife, ready to cut her wrists. I hurried over and snatched the fruit knife from her hand.
"Huang Minwei, what do you want to do?"
Huang Minwei looked at me with disheveled hair and a clearer look in her eyes.
"Yu Xiaowan."
She rushed towards me in a panic and grabbed my legs.
"Yu Xiaowan, I beg you, please give Jiang Ruohe to me. I beg you, please give him to me. I can't live without Jiang Ruohe." Huang Minwei cried.
I sighed.
"Why do you feel like I stole Jiang Ruohe away?"
"Huang Minwei, let me tell you, I never interfered with your relationship with Jiang Ruohe. You broke up with Jiang Ruohe because the problem was you. Why haven't you figured it out yet?"
"You did something wrong to him, and then you took advantage of him. This is all because of you. And a little bit, you only loved his money and power. You're grieving now because you've only lost the material life you wanted."
Huang Minwei let go of me after I poked her in the wound, with some anger in her eyes.
"Should I be blamed for this? What can I do? Do you think I want to sleep with those men? I need money. Do you remember how the wealthy classmates looked down on us in the dormitory? They said we were poor as hell. I don't want to be looked down upon by them. I won't accept it."
"At that time, I was thinking about how to have money to buy what I wanted, but society is realistic. I need money, so I have to pay for it. I can only sleep with those men."
"When I met Jiang Ruohe, I felt like my chance had come. I was afraid of losing him, and I also hated my past. I originally wanted to forget the past and be with Jiang Ruohe, but that damn Liu Xu discovered my secret. He threatened me that if I didn't be with him, he would post those videos online and let Jiang Ruohe and the school know about me."
"Xiao Wan, I really had no choice at the time. Liu Xu kept threatening me. I wanted to break free from his control, but I couldn't." Huang Minwei collapsed on the ground and burst into tears.
"Gu Bei and I were just angry. Jiang Ruohe didn't touch me at all after I had a miscarriage. I was so angry that I threw it all out."
"Huang Minwei, don't make yourself sound so pathetic. When Liu Xu threatened you, you could have told Jiang Ruohe, but you were afraid. You were afraid of losing Jiang Ruohe, such a rich man. If you had told Jiang Ruohe the truth, he would have broken up with you, but at least he would have helped you get rid of Liu Xu's entanglement."
Since ancient times, you can't have your cake and eat it too. To put it bluntly, she is a whore and still wants to be a virtuous woman.
I squatted down and looked at Huang Minwei.
"Huang Minwei, if those classmates who mocked us that day knew that you've embarked on this path, they would look down on you even more."
Huang Minwei looked up at me with red eyes and said nothing.
"So, Yu Xiaowan, are you here to laugh at me today?"
I stood up and said I was not in the mood to laugh at her. I took out some photos from my bag and handed them to Huang Minwei. After Huang Minwei looked at them, she looked up at me in surprise.
"How is that possible?"
I looked at her calmly and asked, how is it impossible?
"It was those women she went to find who posted this. By doing this, she not only made you infamous, but also made you hate me. Luckily, Jiang Ruohe blocked this post."
Huang Minwei asked me if Jiang Ruohe had someone block the post.
I nodded.
"He also said that after all, he had truly loved you and didn't want to embarrass you. Until now, you still don't think that your relationship was ruined by your own hands?"
A trace of pain flashed across Huang Minwei's eyes. She felt uncomfortable for a while, then looked up at me.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Tian Rong now?"
I said, what's there to be afraid of? I was waiting for Tian Rong to come and question me. Coincidentally, I also wanted to ask her why she was so cruel to me.
A bitter smile flashed across Huang Minwei's eyes. She said that since I married Jiang Ruohe, Tian Rong has been deliberately approaching her, standing up for her, saying that I stole her boyfriend, and even she, as her sister, was angry.
"Before, she went to the hospital to scold me, asked Jiang Ruohe to remove her from her position, caused a conflict between you and Jiang Ruohe, and deliberately kidnapped me. Then, she let Jiang Ruohe see you. It was all her idea."
"I don't know why she targeted you. I really resented you at that time. I didn't ask too many questions. Now I think I was just being used by her." Huang Minwei said with a wry smile.
I walked over to her, squatted down, and gently stroked her slightly dirty face.
"Minwei, if you want to live a better life, you don't just have to rely on men. We still have many ways to prove our abilities and value. You are still young and have choices. Life is still long and you can start over."
Although Huang Minwei framed me, she didn't have bad intentions. It was just that she was blinded by resentment and jealousy, and Tian Rong's instigation.
Huang Minwei looked at me with red eyes.
"Xiao Wan, do you know that during these few days when I was depressed, I kept dreaming about you and the good times we had in college? I understood a lot of what you said, but I just didn't dare to admit my greed."
"Xiao Wan, I was wrong. Can you still forgive me?"
I hugged Huang Minwei and said of course.
Huang Minwei hugged me and cried for a long time. She was completely sober. She got up, cleaned up the room, and said that she planned to leave Nancheng tomorrow and find a new place to live.
The two sat on the chairs and talked about a lot of things in college, as if they were back in the past.
"Xiao Wan, do you want to know why Tian Rong resents you so much?"
I was stunned for a moment.
Huang Minwei took out her cell phone and looked at me.
"I always feel like I owe you too much. When I leave, I should do you a favor."
Huang Minwei called Tian Rong in front of me.
After Tian Rong answered the phone, she sounded a little impatient and asked Huang Minwei what she wanted to talk to her about.
"Huang Minwei, let me tell you first, you're in this state now. Even if I wanted to help you, I can't. I advise you not to call me."
"Sister Tian Rong, you're wrong. I just wanted to say thank you. I'm planning to leave South City. Thank you for taking care of me before."
"Are you leaving South City?"
"Um."
"Then you won't deal with Yu Xiaowan anymore?" Tian Rong raised her voice.
"I can't handle it."
"Then wait for me at home. I'll come find you and help you think of a solution."
Huang Minwei hung up the phone, mocking Tian Rong for changing her mind so quickly.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, she saw Tian Rong's car in front of the window and asked me to hide in the closet quickly.
After a while, Tian Rong came in.
"Minwei, I think you still have a chance. Now that they are divorced, are you willing to lose to Yu Xiaowan?"
Huang Minwei shook her head and said that she hated me and wanted to defeat me, but no one could help her now.
"Aren't I here?" Tian Rong said.
I hid in the closet and snorted coldly. I had been acting impatient on the phone before, asking Huang Minwei to stop harassing her. But when she heard that Huang Minwei was leaving Nancheng, she thought I had lost another opponent, so she quickly came up with bad ideas again.
"Do you have any good ideas now?" Huang Minwei asked.
Tian Rong said that she hadn't yet, and would tell her after she went back and planned it carefully.
"I guarantee that you will be able to defeat Yu Xiaowan."
"Tian Rong, why do I feel like you really hate Yu Xiaowan?"
Tian Rong said no. She just felt that I had stolen Huang Minwei's boyfriend, which was excessive, so she wanted to help Huang Minwei.
"Tian Rong, we're in the same boat. Just tell me the truth. Your eyes clearly show how much you hate Yu Xiaowan, so why don't you admit it?"
Tian Rong was silent for a while, and felt that she could no longer deceive Huang Minwei, so she moved a chair and sat down.
"I really do hate her."
"Why is that? Yu Xiaowan treats you like her own sister." Huang Minwei asked with some confusion.
Tian Rong snorted coldly.
"Who cares?"
"I can't really explain why, but I've always hated her. Maybe it's because, with her around, I've never been top of my class. And even though my mom treats her badly, she still manages to live her life so calmly. I hate her indifference."
"But what I hate most is that she stole the person I liked."
Tian Rong’s words left me a little confused.
"Are you talking about Chen Xi?" Huang Minwei asked in surprise.
"Yes, I was the first one to meet Chen Xi. It was me who dragged Yu Xiaowan to listen to Chen Xi's songs, but they fell in love and were in a relationship for such a long time."
Hiding in the closet, I was stunned. I never knew Tian Rong also liked Chen Xi, and she never showed it. When Chen Xi and I were dating, she supported me. How could it suddenly become that she also liked Chen Xi...
"Yu Xiaowan took him away, just like she took away your Jiang Ruohe. Can you say I don't hate her?" Tian Rong said angrily.
"But fortunately, I snatched it from her again..."
Before Tian Rong could say anything, her phone rang. She didn't answer it, but just hung up and said she was leaving.
"Minwei, don't worry, I will go back and think about how to help you deal with Yu Xiaowan."
Tian Rong had not taken a few steps when Huang Minwei called her.
"Tian Rong, did you drug Yu Xiaowan and Jiang Ruohe and use me to deal with Yu Xiaowan?"
It seems that Huang Minwei still couldn't hold it back.
"Of course not. I wasn't the one who drugged you. Minwei, I didn't use you. We just have a common enemy and we are just partners."
"Really?" Huang Minwei's voice became a little colder.
"Of course not, it really wasn't me."
"Okay, I believe you. I have to go back to my hometown in the next two days. When you have figured out how to deal with Yu Xiaowan, please contact me."
Tian Rong agreed and left Huang Minwei's room.
Huang Minwei waited until Tian Rong drove away before opening the wardrobe. I walked out of the wardrobe with a pale face.
"Xiao Wan, are you okay?"
I shook my head and said it was okay, but I didn't expect that Tian Rong also liked Chen Xi, and because of Chen Xi, she hated me so much.
"It's probably because Chen Xi died, and she thinks you were the one who killed him, so she's targeting you. Xiaowan, don't worry, I won't help Tian Rong hurt you again."
I staggered out of Huang Minwei's apartment. After learning the reason why Tian Rong hated me so much, I felt very uncomfortable. I thought of many reasons why Tian Rong hated me, but I never thought it was because of Chen Xi.
At night, I actually dreamed of Chen Xi, whom I hadn't dreamed of for a while. I also dreamed that Tian Rong snatched Chen Xi away because she hated me, and they got married and asked me to attend their wedding.
I suddenly woke up and sat on the bed. Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of a dark shadow passing by the window. I was so scared that I quickly turned on the light and looked towards the window.
The windows were tightly closed and nothing unusual was found.
Maybe it was because I just woke up from a nightmare and was a little too nervous.
I threw back the covers, went to the bathroom to wash my face, and then fell asleep.
At six o'clock in the morning of the next day, I went to the airport to see Huang Minwei off, and Huang Minwei took my hand.
"Xiao Wan, when I succeed one day, I will come back to find you."
"I trust you."
The two hugged each other and came out of the airport. Looking at the rising sun, a smile flashed in their eyes.
I didn't go home, but went downstairs to Tian Rong's company. At 7:30, I saw Wu Yi there. She really came to tear Tian Rong apart.
After a while, Tian Rong appeared downstairs of their company in a professional suit. Perhaps because she was too conspicuous, Wu Yi recognized Tian Rong at a glance.
She walked quickly to Tian Rong, without saying anything, and slapped her in the face. A trace of anger flashed across Tian Rong's eyes. If it weren't for the occasion, she would have fought with Wu Yi.
"Who are you?" Tian Rong suppressed her anger, covered her face and looked at Wu Yi with a depressed look.
Wu Yi did not answer, but directly grabbed Tian Rong's hair. People from Tian Rong's company hurriedly surrounded her and asked Wu Yi why he hit people.
"Why would I hit someone? This slut seduced my boyfriend and slept with him. Do you think such a shameless woman should be beaten?"
Tian Rong was stunned and broke free from Wu Yi's control, cursing Wu Yi for slandering her, saying that she didn't even know Wu Yi's boyfriend, so how could she seduce him?
"I think you've found the wrong person?"
Wu Yi sneered, took out his cell phone, and showed the video I had sent to Tian Rong's company employees.
"See? She and my boyfriend are having sex in the car."
Tian Rong's face turned pale and she tried to snatch Wu Yi's phone. Wu Yi quickly stepped back and glared at Tian Rong resentfully.
"See if you still dare to deny it?"
"Hey, isn't this Jiang Nianhao from the Jiang family?"
"Doesn't Jiang Nianhao have a wife? His son is already in his twenties?"
It was only then that everyone realized that this was a bloody drama of a mistress looking for trouble with her lover.
More and more people gathered around, and some colleagues began to look at Tian Rong with strange eyes. Tian Rong was very panicked and shouted that this must have been photoshopped.
"Even the voices are exactly the same, and you still have the nerve to say it was photoshopped. Tian Rong, I'm telling you, I'll come find you again."
After Wu Yi finished speaking, he left with satisfaction.
Just then Shao Han came out of the office building and the people who were watching and talking dispersed.
Tian Rong looked at Shao Han timidly.
"Go to the Finance Department and collect your salary."
After seeing this, I didn’t read on and turned around to go home.
After I got home, Wu Yi sent me a message saying that she had returned to Beicheng. After all, she and Jiang Nianhao were only after money, and it would not be good if the matter got out of hand. If she went to settle the score with Tian Rong, she would just be angry, and if she went to Jiang Nianhao, she would probably not get any benefits.
Although Wu Yi was gone, I had achieved my goal. I took out the new card that I used to contact Wu Yi, cut it into pieces with scissors, threw it into the trash can, changed my clothes, and planned to go to the Jiang family's old house to visit my grandfather.
Mother Wang was very happy to see me and asked me to stay for lunch. I nodded and said yes. I asked Mother Wang where my grandfather was now.
"He's scolding Nian Hao in the study. It seems Nian Hao has done something wrong."
After saying this, Wang Ma went into the kitchen.
I poured two cups of tea and brought them upstairs. As soon as I reached the study door, I heard my grandfather scolding.
"You unfilial son, I didn't care about your misbehavior. Do you know that Tian Rong is Xiao Wan's sister?"
"Just a sister without blood relationship."
With a "slap", Jiang Nianhao was slapped by Jiang Mingzhe.
"You are truly lawless. Have you ever thought about Yingzhi's feelings? If she knew, wouldn't she be furious?"
"Dad, you clearly know that my relationship with Yingzhi is dead in name only. If it weren't for Ruohe, I would have divorced her long ago."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you dare to divorce me? Don't you think it's shameful? Jiang Nianhao, I'm telling you, I'll give you one day to break up with Tian Rong immediately and pay her the compensation she deserves."
"No. Dad, Xiao Rong'er has been fired from the company because of me. I can't let her down anymore."
Jiang Mingzhe slapped Jiang Nianhao again.
"Can you tell me again?"
Jiang Nianhao remained silent.
"If you don't want to divide it, give your 10% stake to Ruohe, and you and I will be exiled to Africa."
"Okay, I'll divide it." Jiang Nianhao responded in a low voice.
I knocked on the door after they finished talking. Jiang Mingzhe looked at me, glared at Jiang Nianhao, and told him to get out.
Jiang Nianhao felt very uncomfortable when he saw me at this moment. He looked at me awkwardly and walked out.
I placed one of the cups of green tea on my grandfather's table. Jiang Mingzhe looked up at me and asked me how much I had just heard.
Although he loved me, he was also a shrewd old man. I answered honestly and said that I had heard part of it.
Jiang Mingzhe looked at me, a complex expression flashing across his eyes. He sighed and wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
I actually knew what he wanted to ask me. If he asked me, I would definitely admit that I designed all this, but my grandfather didn't ask.
Jiang Mingzhe stood up and said that he would not talk about these happy things anymore.
"Come with me for a walk in the backyard."
Jiang Mingzhe and I went downstairs, walked around the backyard, and sat on the bench. Grandpa turned and looked at me.
"Ruohe has been getting very close to Caiqing lately. That girl has been clinging to Ruohe since she was little. Her dad said she's in love with our Ruohe. She went abroad three years ago because Ruohe was in love with Huang Minwei."
I just lowered my eyes, smiled faintly, and said that it was good, a perfect match.
Jiang Mingzhe looked at me with a smile in his eyes. When he was about to say something, he heard Cai Qing's voice.
Cai Qing and Jiang Ruohe appeared not far away. Cai Qing habitually put her arm around Jiang Ruohe's wrist and pulled him towards us.
"Xiao Wan, you are here too."
I nodded, stood up and said that I came to see my grandfather and planned to go back soon.
"Didn't you promise Aunt Wang that you'd have lunch here? Aunt Wang has already prepared the food."
Jiang Ruohe looked at me. Although he was not as cold as before, I could feel that there had been a sense of distance between us since I got angry with him last time.
I said "oh" and stood there awkwardly.
Grandpa stood up and said it was cold outside and we should go into the living room.
Several people entered the living room and sat on the sofa. Cai Qing and Jiang Mingzhe were chatting about happy things. Jiang Ruohe and I didn't say anything until Aunt Wang called that the meal was ready.
While eating, Cai Qing kept picking up food for Jiang Ruohe. The intimacy between the two of them made people very envious.
Somehow, I felt a little uncomfortable. I guess it was because of his ex-wife's identity.
After the meal, I found that I had hardly touched my bowl of rice. Jiang Mingzhe looked at me and asked me if the food today was not to my liking. I shook my head and said no.
"The food that Aunt Wang cooks is delicious, but I have had gastroenteritis these past two days and can't eat."
After dinner, Cai Qing asked Jiang Ruohe to go to the movies and asked me if I wanted to go.
I shook my head and said I wouldn't disturb them anymore. I said goodbye to my grandfather and left the Jiang family's old house.
On the way back, I was a little uneasy. Lying on the bed, Jiang Ruohe's stern face kept appearing in my mind. I sat up a little irritably, asking myself what was wrong.
Could it be that I have feelings for Jiang Ruohe? I hurriedly shook my head, thinking to myself that it was impossible, absolutely impossible.
I lifted the quilt, took the cup, and planned to go downstairs to pour myself a glass of milk. When I came out, I found that the light in the study diagonally opposite was on.
I was stunned for a moment. Thinking that there were only Liu Ma and I living in this house, could it be that Liu Ma was reading in the study?
I quietly walked to the door of the study, reached out and quickly turned the door open. I looked around and found that there was no one in the study. I was very puzzled. When I was about to turn off the lights, I suddenly noticed the window, which was actually open.
I was about to walk to the window when Aunt Liu appeared at the door and called me.
"Xiao Wan, why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and coming to the study?"
I turned to look at Aunt Liu.
"Aunt Liu, why do I feel like there's someone else living in this house besides you and me?"
