Jiang Zhiming nodded and smiled at Zhang Shanshan. He had seen Zhang Shanshan's photos in magazines and media before. She was as beautiful as a star. Knowing that she was his sister-in-law, he immediately became very respectful and bowed to her, saying, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
Zhang Shanshan glanced at Jiang Zhiming and nodded. She thought to herself that with his outstanding looks, her dim-witted sister-in-law was lucky to have found someone like him. She looked around and asked him, "Is there anywhere nearby to chat? I have something to ask you."
Jiang Zhiming was puzzled, but still politely replied, "Yes, there is a coffee shop on the left."
His sister-in-law was like an elder brother to him, and this was the first time he had spent so much time in front of her, so Jiang Zhiming's heart was pounding wildly with nervousness.
“Let’s go there then.” Zhang Shanshan took the lead. She put on sunglasses and even took out a mask from her handbag and put it on, just like a big star, with a dignified demeanor and a unique aura.
She walked with her head down, trying her best to avoid attracting attention. She really didn't want Lin Tingfeng to know that she had come to the Lin Group building to investigate whether he had a mistress.
The three of them arrived at the coffee shop. Jiang Zhiming ordered three coffees and some desserts. When the coffees were served, he stood up and handed one to Zhang Shanshan and Lin Tingyue. Then he sat down opposite his sister-in-law, next to Lin Tingyue. He felt confused, unsure of what his sister-in-law, whom he was meeting for the first time, would ask him.
It's 10 a.m., the busiest time for the marketing department, so the coffee shop is deserted, almost as quiet as a church, making it a perfect place for conversation.
Zhang Shanshan didn't drink the coffee, probably finding it too low-class. She glanced at Jiang Zhiming, adjusted her sunglasses, cleared her throat, and asked him softly, "Are you a student at Q University?"
Jiang Zhiming nodded and honestly replied, "Yes, I'm a third-year student, currently doing an internship."
Zhang Shanshan nodded, looked around, and said in a low voice, "Please don't tell anyone that I came to see you today, okay?" Although she used words of negotiation, her tone was commanding.
Jiang Zhiming paused for a moment.
Lin Tingyue understood Zhang Shanshan's thoughts. She didn't want her older brother to know that she was investigating him, so she immediately said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, Zhiming doesn't like to talk."
Jiang Zhiming smiled and replied, "Yes, I believe silence is golden."
Zhang Shanshan nodded in satisfaction, then, after gathering her thoughts, asked, "Do you know Ye Wenyu?"
Jiang Zhiming was stunned, as if struck by lightning. He looked at Lin Tingyue with confusion.
Lin Tingyue gestured towards the phone with her lips, and Jiang Zhiming understood. She wanted him to listen to the private message she had sent him earlier, and to answer "yes" to everything related to Ye Wenyu.
Therefore, he nodded and said softly to Zhang Shanshan, "I know her. She is also a junior, but she hasn't done an internship yet. Usually, students do their internships in their senior year."
A big question mark rose in my mind: why did my sister-in-law suddenly ask Wenyu what she was doing? At the same time, I also felt uneasy, with a feeling that what was about to happen would not be anything good.
He began to worry uncontrollably about Ye Wenyu.
That pale-faced, thin girl—
Zhang Shanshan didn't speak. Jiang Zhiming became more and more nervous. He wondered why Lin Tingfeng's wife would suddenly come to him to ask about everything related to Ye Wenyu.
The eldest sister-in-law and Wenyu are two people who have absolutely no connection.
What exactly did Xiaoyu do? She originally had no connection with the Lin family, so how did she get involved now?
He had been dating Lin Tingyue for almost two years, but only now had he met Lin Tingfeng's wife. He had never even set foot in the Lin family home. The intricacies and complexities of the Lin family were beyond his comprehension. Yet, it seemed that his sister-in-law had known Ye Wenyu even longer than him. Wasn't that a bit ridiculous?
After a moment of silence, Zhang Shanshan suddenly asked, "Does she know our Lin Tingfeng?"
Jiang Zhiming froze, the air in the coffee shop seemed to solidify, and alarm bells began to ring in his mind. He racked his brains, trying to recall if Xiaoyu knew Lin Tingfeng. It seemed like she did. When they were at the hospital, he had seen Lin Tingfeng hold Xiaoyu's hand. He had been a little nervous at the time and had intended to warn her afterwards, but later, because he was too busy with his own affairs, he didn't have the time or energy to remind her.
Could it be that she and Lin Tingfeng are really together? Did they already have something going on?!
It felt like thunder was rumbling overhead, and Jiang Zhiming's palms began to sweat.
Meanwhile, as Jiang Zhiming was deep in thought, Lin Tingyue grew impatient and, from under the table, reached out and stomped on his foot. Jiang Zhiming felt a sharp pain, but he remained silent and nodded slowly.
Xiaoyu and her older brother do know each other.
Seeing Jiang Zhiming's expression and actions, Zhang Shanshan's previously depressed heart jumped to her throat. Her face turned pale, and her big eyes became somewhat tense. Looking at Jiang Zhiming, she hurriedly asked him, "Then what is their relationship?" Her throat suddenly became extremely dry.
Jiang Zhiming was taken aback. What relationship? There was no evidence; he couldn't just make things up.
Therefore, he hesitated for a moment and then said, "I don't know."
Lin Tingyue, in her frustration, stomped on his foot under the table again. She had clearly told him to answer "yes" to everything, but he was ignoring her commands?
Zhang Shanshan's eyes widened to the size of teacups as she leaned forward, asking anxiously, "Are they dating? Has he given her gifts? Are they living together?!"
Lin Tingyue frequently winked at Jiang Zhiming.
Jiang Zhiming wasn't stupid. His back started sweating profusely, and as he looked at Zhang Shanshan, he finally sorted out all his thoughts.
So that's how it is! Zhang Shanshan is Lin Tingfeng's wife. He heard from his colleagues that Lin Tingfeng is going through a divorce recently, so Zhang Shanshan came to question him today. She suspects that Ye Wenyu is Lin Tingfeng's mistress. Since he is a student at Q University and she is her classmate, she came to ask him for evidence.
Jiang Zhiming took a deep breath to calm himself down. He couldn't let Ye Wenyu get hurt. Besides, hadn't she always liked Professor Cai? And even if she really had something going on with Lin Tingfeng, he had to protect her for her safety. These women from wealthy families were not to be trifled with; they were capable of anything when they were jealous and went crazy!
For example, Lin Tingyue. After spending time with her, he discovered that the real her was a completely different person from the gentle, naive, and indecisive woman he initially presented to him.
However, he was still reluctant to give up the bright future that the Lin Group would bring him, so even though he was disappointed, he was unwilling to let go.
