When Shen Yunong received her daughter's call, her first reaction was to be extremely happy.
Zhou Xiaoxiao has been gone for so long, and her family has been calling her one after another, but she hasn't answered a single call. Her family is really worried sick.
"Xiaoxiao, have you had enough fun outside? Come back quickly when you're done. Wei Jingshen won't have an affair; his character is impeccable."
Zhou Xiaoxiao frowned deeply. She opened WeChat and sent the picture to Shen Yunong.
"My friend has already taken pictures for me. I don't want to marry someone like this!"
Shen Yunong's expression changed when she saw the picture in the message box.
For so many years, she has always been the image of a virtuous wife and loving mother in the Zhou family. As long as her husband doesn't allow her to ask questions, she will never ask a single question.
As long as she is a virtuous and pampered wife, she can enjoy a comfortable life. Why wouldn't she do it?
She could get some information from other places, but Wei Jingshen was too far away from the Zhou family, so Shen Yunong couldn't keep track of his movements all the time.
Upon seeing this photo, Shen Yunong's tone turned dissatisfied: "If Wei Jingshen does this, our family will not arrange a marriage with him. You won't be unwanted!"
Upon hearing her say that, Zhou Xiaoxiao's anger subsided somewhat.
However, both mother and daughter were well aware that the marriage between the Zhou and Wei families was an integration of interests and resources, and Shen Yunong had no say in it.
After pausing for a moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao finally got to the point: "Mom, I've finally fallen for someone, and I don't want to break up with him so easily. If you're free lately, could you help me investigate who that woman is? It's too inconvenient for me to be abroad, and I don't trust those fair-weather friends of mine."
Shen Yunong is her biological mother, so she naturally trusts her.
“I’ll help you investigate, but Xiaoxiao, you need to think this through. The engagement date is fast approaching, and they’ve already sent out the invitations. If you make Wei Jingshen lose face, it will be difficult to handle the situation.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "I've been out for so long, and Wei Jingshen hasn't called me once. When I called him, he hung up on me. What can I do? I'm the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, not some random cat or dog on the street. Why does he treat me like this!"
As she spoke, she became indignant.
Falling in love with a man as cold as an iceberg was a catastrophe for her.
Shen Yunong comforted her, "Didn't I tell you? Men are like mountains, and women are like water. Don't be so stubborn. You need to learn to talk to him. Wei Jingshen isn't a short-tempered person. We'll be at ease if you two get married. Xiaoxiao, just listen to your mother and go back to China first. You've caused a big mess this time, and I need to talk to your father first. He's very angry."
Zhou Xiaoxiao was spoiled since she was a child.
Her father's anger didn't mean anything to her.
"What I care about is Wei Jingshen's attitude. He doesn't even have the intention to salvage the situation. How can the engagement ceremony still go ahead?"
"Why not? I heard the Wei family has been making preparations in full swing, and the whole family will be attending. Can you come back soon? Mom promises you, I will definitely make sure you get a good result."
Shen Yunong's words are quite convincing.
Zhou Xiaoxiao's tone softened: "Okay, I'll think about it, but first, can you find out which woman Wei Jingshen took with him? How could he be with another woman while I wasn't around?"
“Men are all like that; they become honest after marriage. Your father used to be a womanizer, but after marrying me, he became a good husband and a good father.”
No, that's not true.
Zhou Xiaoxiao thought to herself, she had seen her father groping a young model.
She knew her mother's side had no influence, and marrying into the family would be like a sparrow turning into a phoenix. For the sake of family harmony, she had no choice but to pretend she didn't notice.
"Anyway, I'm leaving this matter to you, Mom. I'll wait for your good news."
"Okay, book your flight back soon."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiaoxiao was still somewhat depressed.
Reason told her that Wei Jingshen was a trustworthy person. Since the two of them were getting engaged, and even getting married, he wouldn't do anything reckless.
But he never had a steady female companion. He usually only went to banquets with his secretary, and his private life was very clean. Why would he be so close to a woman?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoxiao felt a lump in her throat.
Seeing her expression change several times, Luo Wenxi was also in a very bad mood.
He overheard snippets of their conversation and guessed Zhou Xiaoxiao's next move.
After thinking for a moment, he still asked, "Xiaoxiao, are you planning to go back to China?"
"I will definitely go back to China."
Zhou Xiaoxiao only wanted to put Wei Jingshen in a bad light; that didn't mean she wanted to waste all her time on important matters. The Zhou family's reputation was not something a spoiled young lady like her could damage.
We cannot afford such consequences.
After glancing at Luo Wenxi, Zhou Xiaoxiao's tone turned somewhat unpleasant: "You'd better book your plane ticket quickly, I need to go back before the engagement ceremony."
Luo Wenxi's gentle gaze instantly turned cold: "Xiaoxiao, didn't we have an agreement?"
"What did we agree on? I only agreed to let you take me out, but I didn't say I wanted to be with you, and I don't like you. If you don't help me, I'll find someone else."
Luo Wenxi's eyes darkened for a moment, but when she looked up again, they returned to their previous gentle and warm expression.
"No, I'm just asking a question. As you know, I've always been on your side and have never changed my stance. You can always trust me."
Seeing that he had no bad intentions, and realizing that she had suddenly lost her temper with him, Zhou Xiaoxiao looked a little embarrassed.
She said it as if it were a handout: "Let's have dinner together tonight."
Luo Wenxi immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have them prepare your favorite Chinese food."
Wei Jingshen had no idea that his so-called fiancée was going back to China; he was watching Jiang Tian eat.
He had been paying close attention to Jiang Tian's appetite these past few days; she was eating far too little.
Wei Jingshen specially prepared several dishes according to the tastes that Jiang Tian liked, all of which were very light and contained no seafood.
Jiang Tian did indeed eat more.
However, she stopped eating and looked up at Wei Jingshen: "Mr. Wei, is there something dirty on my face?"
Wei Jingshen stared at her for a long time, which made her notice: "There's nothing dirty. I want to ask you..."
He paused for a moment at this point.
Jiang Tian put down her chopsticks, looking serious, thinking he was about to give her some important instructions.
Having seen many storms and waves, Wei Jingshen surprisingly felt a rare, inexplicable shyness under this woman's gaze.
He slowly asked, "Do you have someone you're secretly seeing?"
