Things have reached a point that Song Mai could not have imagined.
She frowned and immediately looked at Liu Jiaer: "Let's talk in private."
I had a vague premonition that this was my best chance to get close to the truth.
However, Liu Jia'er completely failed to grasp her meaning, only thinking that she was deliberately showing weakness.
With a smug flick of her hair, Liu Jia'er said triumphantly, "I don't have that much to say about these things. You just need to know that you shouldn't even dream about what isn't yours."
Worried that Chu Xing would find out what she had done, she hurriedly prepared to leave.
Song Mai grabbed her wrist in a hurry, so tightly that Liu Jia'er stumbled.
She glared at Song Mai, furious and embarrassed, and said, "What exactly do you want?"
"That's the question I should be asking you. I've never met any Master Yun, and I'm already married to the person I love. What's your purpose in spreading these rumors? You say you like Master Yun, but not long ago you kept saying you liked my husband. What were you really thinking?" Song Mai was definitely not a helpless little rabbit.
She completely erupted, speaking this long string of words with a clear mind.
Liu Jia'er was both anxious and angry, and said coldly, "Please find out who your husband is before you question me."
She forcefully broke free from Song Mai's grasp and strode away, looking more like she was fleeing in panic.
The colleagues watching from the sidelines were completely bewildered, not understanding the ins and outs of the situation. However, they did know that Song Mai was no ordinary person.
Xie Manman also looked confused. She turned to Song Mai and said with concern, "How about I go and find out about Liu Jiaer's situation for you?"
"No need, I know her."
If Liu Jiaer is acting, I can only praise her superb acting skills and say she deserves a Best Actress award.
But if she is indeed stating the truth, it means that Chu Xing really has a problem.
She took an afternoon off to go to the nursing home to find out about Grandpa Chu's situation.
The staff member in charge of the archives was familiar with Song Mai and led her into the archives room.
"The old Mr. Chu you mentioned didn't register his real name or identity, only his surname. Because the surname Chu is so rare, I remember it clearly." The staff member skillfully took a file from the shelf.
"He didn't come here because he had no one to take care of him. According to him, it was because he was so bored and wanted to get his grandson's attention, so he resolutely decided to move in." The staff member sighed, "His grandson is also an extraordinary person. He is handsome, elegant, and his looks are definitely comparable to any popular male star."
"Is this him?" Song Mai quickly took out Chu Xing's photo.
The staff member nodded with emotion: "No doubt about it, this look is unforgettable."
"Do you know what he does for a living?" Song Mai's heart skipped a beat.
"It is said that..." The staff member paused, then immediately asked warily, "Mai Zi, I know you come here often, but these are all client privacy matters. Besides, Mr. Chu is already married, so you should be mindful of your behavior."
“You’ve misunderstood. When I visited Grandpa Chu before, I happened to leave something with him. After he left, I couldn’t contact him anymore, so I wanted to find this Mr. Chu through you.”
This reason convinced the staff, who continued, "It's said he's extremely wealthy and of high status. But I don't know the specifics."
Is this still the Chu Xing I know?
When he first learned about himself, he was just an ordinary person with nothing to his name, who had no outstanding qualities other than a handsome appearance.
However, these descriptions are likely the identities Chu Xing claims to have, in order to prevent his grandfather from being bullied.
Song Mai tried her best to convince herself, but she couldn't find a way to justify herself.
It wasn't until a staff member kindly helped her up that she realized she was already covered in sweat.
The palms were clenched so tightly that the nails dug into them.
She sat down listlessly, forcing a smile: "Do you know anything else?"
"You can follow this route to find his house, which is said to be the location of his home."
That was the most information the staff could provide; she looked down at the note in her hand.
The address above is one I've never seen before.
Building A, Jiangyue Villa.
Song Mai took a deep breath and looked at the message Chu Xing had just sent, informing her that she would be working overtime tonight.
She replied with a trembling "okay," but because her hands were shaking, she made a mistake and deleted it.
After several attempts, it was finally sent, and beads of sweat, as big as beans, slid down his forehead one after another.
The staff member looked at her with concern: "Young lady, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
After leaving the building, Song Mai dialed the bank's number, indicating that she wanted to mortgage the house.
When she gave the address, before she could say anything else, the other party immediately said anxiously, "I'm sorry, ma'am, the property you mentioned is registered under Mr. Jiang's name, and we cannot process it for you here."
"Jiang Jibai?"
Song Mai already had a general idea in mind, so she hung up the phone.
From the very beginning, whether it's winning the house or the prize money, it's very likely that it's all fake.
Is Chu Xing really Chu Xing, or someone else?
Song Mai left with a tightness in her chest, gazing at the increasingly unfamiliar scenery, feeling uneasy.
Jiangyue Villa is one of the top villa districts in the country. The houses here cannot even be measured in monetary terms; they are priceless.
The people living here are no longer necessarily rich or powerful; only those who control most of the funds and power are qualified to live here.
Chu Xing is a man who lost his job after being laid off from his company and started his own business.
Is it just about saving face, or is there really someone else at play?
After sharing a bed with a man for so long, she suddenly realized that she had never truly understood him.
Song Mai was horrified.
The car stopped at that moment, and the driver said with difficulty, "Miss, we can't go in here. Why don't you walk in?"
Song Mai tilted her head to look and saw that the security was indeed tight, no less than that of a secret base.
Private cars are not allowed to enter freely, let alone taxis.
Song Mai forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
The moment she stepped out of the car, she realized she was at the foot of the mountain. The villa, on the other hand, was located on the mountaintop, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Even if I could successfully sneak in, it would take until tomorrow morning to walk to the top of the mountain.
At this moment, Chu Xing was still making tense preparations.
He looked at himself in the mirror and asked, "Is this method really feasible?"
Xie Xing patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry."
