Wen Ying called out softly and burst in with an apologetic look on her face.
The movements were both hurried and subtle, as if they were trying to escape something.
What are you doing?
Chu Wuyang was startled and before she could recover, she heard her say...
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I... I need to talk to you about something."
Chu Wuyang frowned, her eyes full of doubt.
"Are you acting all sneaky, like you're filming a spy drama?"
Wen Ying looked around to make sure no one was following before lowering her voice and speaking into her ear.
"You have bodyguards with you at all times, two men and one woman, in groups of three, taking turns on duty."
Chu Wuyang was taken aback.
"and,"
Wen Ying continued, her tone becoming increasingly cautious.
"Your phone has been put into listening mode. All incoming calls are automatically screened by the system, and only those that are safe are transferred to you."
"……What?"
Chu Wuyang's expression changed, and his voice revealed shock.
How did you know?
Wen Ying bit her lip, having no choice but to speak.
"Because Jingmin attacked our Wen family."
"I tried to contact you a long time ago, but I couldn't get through."
“Even when I went to see you, I was watched by the people around you. I was either stopped or sent away.”
She paused, then added,
Do you remember the time I suddenly rushed out and hit your car?
"That's no coincidence."
"I rushed over during the bodyguard shift change."
"It's a pity that Jingmin arrived too quickly, and I couldn't find a suitable opportunity to tell you in detail. I was afraid you wouldn't believe me, and I was also afraid of angering him and making him even more aggressive."
Chu Wuyang was completely stunned, his ears ringing.
"You mean... he planted someone next to me?"
Wen Ying nodded gently, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at her.
"Wuyang, don't get agitated."
"I'm not here to sow discord among you... it's just that—I really can't find anyone else."
Her tone carried a hint of embarrassment.
"Jin Chu originally didn't want me to bother you."
"But only you can help me with this."
"You mean... ask Jingmin to let the Wen family go?"
Chu Wuyang frowned.
"yes."
Wen Ying lowered her head, her voice extremely soft.
“Our family business has always been developed in Australia, and we have almost no direct cooperation with Haicheng, nor have we had any dealings with Boyifang.”
"I really don't understand why he attacked us."
She paused, then looked at Chu Wuyang, her voice trembling slightly.
"Wuyang, could you ask him for me?"
"If we really did something wrong or offended anyone, at least we can sit down and talk it over... so that Jin Chu won't be dragged into this."
Chu Wuyang was taken aback, then suddenly realized something, and looked up at her.
"You mean... Ah Jin, you only agreed to marry you because of your family's situation?"
Wen Ying nodded, and said with a wry smile,
"Yes. Although I really like him, I know that feelings can't be forced."
"He agreed to the marriage because of the friendship between the two families, not because of feelings at all."
"and……"
She paused, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes.
"He has a girlfriend now."
Chu Wuyang stared wide-eyed.
"You mean, besides you, Ah Jin, you have someone else?"
The tone clearly labeled Yang Jinchu as a scumbag.
Wen Ying quickly explained,
"No, it's not what you think."
"Jin Chu and I broke up peacefully a long time ago, but we just didn't announce it to the public."
"He started dating after we broke up."
Chu Wuyang's doubts deepened.
"How do you know? Do you know who his girlfriend is now?"
She had met Yang Jinchu a while ago, and there was absolutely no sign that he had a girlfriend.
Wen Ying shook her head.
"have no idea."
"I only heard them talking outside his house and saw their intimate behavior, but I didn't see the girl's face clearly."
The whole matter is now very clear. If Yang Jinchu is involved, it's almost certain that Jing Min is maliciously targeting him.
Chu Wuyang fell silent, her mind a complete mess.
She wasn't unaware of Jing Min's possessiveness; that's why she had told Ye Yuhe that he had changed a lot.
But I never expected him to go to such lengths, involving other people as well.
The Wen family had no grudges against them and little business dealings with them. If it wasn't for profit... then it could only be because of jealousy.
It was Jing Min's jealousy and fear of Yang Jinchu that led him to deliberately force Yang Jinchu into a marriage alliance with Wen Ying in order to control him.
This is absolutely absurd!
She calmed herself down and reached out to pat Wen Ying's hand.
"Don't worry, I'll talk to him about this when I get back."
Wen Ying's eyes were slightly red, and she looked apologetic.
"I'm sorry, Wuyang... I know you're not feeling well right now, and I'm bothering you like this..."
Don't say that.
Chu Wuyang gently shook her head, her expression calming down.
"He was in the wrong from the start."
"You go back first, I'll contact you again."
Wen Ying nodded, glanced at her, and left, her figure somewhat timid.
The fitting room door closed again.
Chu Wuyang stood still for a long time without moving.
She never imagined that the "freedom" she thought she had was an artificially created illusion.
The people she trusted had already laid an invisible trap without her knowledge.
After Wen Ying left,
Chu Wuyang slowly opened the door to the fitting room, her expression already calm.
She didn't leave immediately, but stood at the door, her gaze subtly sweeping over every corner of the store.
Not far away, the male customer leaning against the clothes rack stood out—he was dressed plainly, but his demeanor was overly restrained, his posture was upright, and his eyes would occasionally sweep in her direction.
The person was clearly startled the moment her gaze fell upon him.
Their eyes met briefly, for less than a second.
The man hurriedly looked away, pretending to be looking down and flipping through the clothes in his hands.
But his movements were so stiff, it was like he was acting.
Chu Wuyang lowered her eyes, a cold smile that was hard to decipher flicker across her lips.
As expected, Wen Ying was not lying.
There really is someone watching her, and—they're not even trying to hide it very well.
What, are you so sure she completely trusts him?
Or—she touched her abdomen, her expression cold.
She walked slowly out of the fitting room.
As if nothing had happened, she raised her hand and tucked her long hair behind her ear, but her fingertips tightened slightly.
