Shen Jiazhou had no idea how he got home.
The living room was quiet and dimly lit. He didn't turn on the lights. When he reached the stairs, he subconsciously looked up at the second floor, which was also quiet.
She withdrew her gaze and calmly went to the children's room. Can Can slept very well, but her sleeping posture was not good. She had curled up under the covers again, leaving only the tip of her fluffy head sticking out.
Shen Jiazhou walked over and gently freed his head, then tucked the blanket around him. After doing all this, he turned his gaze to Cancan's face.
He watched for an unknown amount of time before gently pinching Can Can's soft little face and whispering, "You've really worked hard, baby."
He endured so much suffering in places he couldn't see.
Shen Jiazhou sighed, withdrew his hand, straightened up, and left the children's room.
He returned to the master bedroom, took off his clothes one by one, changed into his pajamas, went to the bathroom, turned on the tap, and the water flowed out and wet his palms.
Shen Jiazhou slowly closed his hands, water gradually gathered in his palms, and then overflowed.
He recalled the dream he had in the United States.
In his dream, he sat on a reef, half of his body submerged in the seawater.
At the time, he thought it was just a simple nightmare, but it turned out to be him too.
He tilted his hand slightly, and the water in his palm flowed out.
Shen Jiazhou turned off the tap and looked up at himself in the mirror.
He will not become the Shen Jiazhou sitting on the reef in his dream, nor will he leave Can Can alone to break down.
The only thing he doesn't understand now is what role Wen Shuqiao plays in this.
Wen Zhixia didn't write much about her, and it's clear from between the lines that she knew about the real and fake heiresses earlier than the Su family. In her view, Wen Shuqiao wouldn't treat Can Can well, and neither would Su Sisi, so why didn't she go to him?
And what kind of resistance did she mention in her diary? Was it people or events?
She and Shen Jiachen had such a good relationship, and in her diary she even called herself Jiazhou, which shows that she was also very clear about the Shen family's affairs and knew him.
As someone close to Shen Jiachen, it wasn't difficult to get his contact information. Why is that?
Shen Jiazhou suddenly felt a headache coming on. He had only seen the end; before that, he knew nothing.
But a thought lingered in his mind: perhaps Wen Shuqiao knew about the things that were troubling him.
If she can see the words in the photograph, she can certainly see the words in the diary.
He stood in the bathroom and took several deep breaths, trying his best to put these things out of his mind. Even if he had too many questions, he could only wait until tomorrow.
tomorrow……
Shen Jiazhou's mind flashed with Wen Shuqiao's face. He had felt that Wen Shuqiao was somewhat different a long time ago.
The information he initially found and what he saw.
Even though it's just a change of surname, it's like the person has become a completely different person.
Too many twists and turns. Shen Jiazhou raised his hand and patted his face to clear his head. He'd ask him properly tomorrow.

The next day.
After Wen Shuqiao finished washing up and went downstairs, Shen Jiazhou was already getting ready to leave.
As she walked downstairs, she asked, "So early today?"
When she came downstairs yesterday, Shen Jiazhou was still eating.
Shen Jiazhou had already changed his shoes. He looked up slightly at Wen Shuqiao as she came down, and only spoke after she reached him: "Well, go take care of some things early. Are you leaving get off work at the same time today?"
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Shen Jiazhou smiled and said, "I'll come pick you up then. I want to ask you some questions tonight."
Wen Shuqiao found it strange: "Can't I ask now?"
Shen Jiazhou shook his head: "Let's work first, and talk about it after everything is settled."
He had considered asking her first thing in the morning, but he didn't want to ruin Wen Shuqiao's good mood.
Shen Jiazhou's gaze was fixed on her face. Wen Shuqiao was already used to being stared at like this, so she didn't react much: "Okay, then drive slowly."
Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement: "Cancan is still sleeping. I just went to check on her. I'm leaving now. See you tonight."
Wen Shuqiao waved and said, "Bye-bye."
Shen Jiazhou pushed open the door and left. Wen Shuqiao looked at the closed door and felt that Shen Jiazhou was acting a little strange today.
I don't know what I'm going to say to myself tonight, it's all so mysterious.
Wen Shuqiao stretched and came back to her senses. She was thinking of going to check on Cancan first, but then she remembered that Shen Jiazhou had already seen her, so she paused and went to the kitchen.
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
Wen Shuqiao said goodbye to her other colleagues. Xie Jingbei, who had also come today, happened to see Wen Shuqiao leaving and walked up to her, asking, "How are you getting home? Want to come with me?"
Wen Shuqiao happened to send a message to Shen Jiazhou asking when he would arrive.
She looked up and smiled, saying, "No need, Jia Zhou is already waiting for me at the door."
Xie Jingbei's face also broke into a smile: "Okay, see you tomorrow."
Tomorrow is Wen Shuqiao's last day at the studio. She's just here to hand over her duties and go through the motions.
Wen Shuqiao waved: "See you tomorrow, bye-bye, Teacher Xie."
Xie Jingbei watched Wen Shuqiao walk towards the elevator, press the elevator button, and then look down at her phone, looking quite like someone deeply in love.
Xie Jingbei watched Wen Shuqiao enter the elevator, step in, turn around, and press the button.
When she looked up, she inadvertently met Xie Jingbei's eyes. She politely smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, Xie Jingbei snapped out of his daze, sighed, and turned to return to his office.
