When Su Hai returned home, Chen Huimei was setting the table.
Seeing Su Hai enter, she quickly put down what she was doing and went to greet him.
Why did you come back later than usual today?
Su Hai handed her the suit jacket, and Chen Huimei hung it on the hanger next to him. She then took some shoes from the shoe cabinet for Su Hai to change into.
After many years of marriage, their way of getting along had become second nature to them. Over the years, Chen Huimei had done this kind of thing countless times.
Upon hearing this, Su Hai's eyes flickered slightly, and then he replied with complete naturalness.
"I had some documents to process at the last minute, and I got stuck in traffic on the way, so I came back a little late."
Chen Huimei didn't suspect anything, and with a smile, she pulled him towards the dining table.
"Honey, you've worked so hard these past few days. I made dinner myself tonight, so make sure you eat a lot."
Chen Huimei served him rice and also put a lot of vegetables on Su Hai's plate.
Su Hai buried his head in his rice, his lowered eyes flickering, lost in thought.
Chen Huimei assumed he was just too tired from work and didn't want to talk to her.
When she went to bed that night, she took a shower and changed her clothes. She was about to get intimate with Su Hai, but to her surprise, Su Hai turned his head slightly and avoided her lips.
Chen Huimei's face stiffened, and she suddenly remembered a saying circulating online.
A kiss between a middle-aged couple can trigger nightmares for several nights in a row.
She has maintained her appearance very well over the years and has become quite adept at various styles. Although the two are getting older, Su Hai rarely refuses Chen Huimei's advances.
Since Su Qingqing went to prison, Chen Huimei has lost her confidence and backbone. She feels that she has no one to rely on in the future, so she wants to hold on to Su Hai even more. But Su Hai's current actions make her a little uneasy. Could it be that Su Hai has grown tired of her?
"Honey... what's wrong with you?"
Su Hai glanced down at Chen Huimei, then pushed her away, his tone softening slightly.
"Huimei, I suddenly remembered that I have some things to take care of, so I probably won't be able to stay with you tonight. You should go to sleep first, don't wait for me. I'm going to the study."
After saying this, Su Hai grabbed his coat and went out before Chen Huimei could react.
Chen Huimei frowned slightly as she looked at the door that had been closed again.
Why did she feel that Su Hai was acting a little strange tonight?
...
After entering the study, Su Hai sat down at his desk and turned on the desk lamp. He lowered his head and stood there for a long time, his mind still replaying Su Yaoyao's words.
Thinking of the evidence she presented, Su Hai felt a surge of frustration. He closed his eyes slightly and leaned back.
Suddenly, as if struck by a sudden thought, he got up and opened the safe in the corner of the study. Inside were some cash, a number of important documents, and real estate items. In the innermost compartment of the safe was a small black leather wallet, about the size of a palm. Su Hai took the wallet out.
Inside the bag was a photograph, which looked quite old. The woman in the photo appeared to be around twenty years old, with an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and almond-shaped eyes that seemed to speak volumes. She looked gentle, charming, and affectionate. In her arms, she was holding a little girl dressed in a red princess dress, her face beaming with a sweet and happy smile.
Su Hai looked at the photo, his dark, cloudy eyes darkening.
The person in the photo is Mu Qian, and the little girl is Su Yaoyao when she was young.
This photo was taken by Su Hai himself when the three of them went on a trip. For some reason, he has kept it all these years.
It might be because of guilt, or it might be for some other reason.
...
Golden Royal Garden.
The online abuse against Xu Xiaoxin continues unabated, making it extremely difficult for her to find a job, which worries Su Yaoyao as well.
"Xiaoxin, didn't you love dancing before? Have you ever thought about continuing in the dance industry?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxin was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and looked at her hands.
"I used to be a lead dancer in a bar, Yao Yao. You have no idea how chaotic it is in there. I... I don't really want to go."
It was through that line of work that she met Junxian.
Because Junxian takes care of her, no one in the bar will cause her any trouble. Occasionally, a couple of clueless customers will appear, and Junxian will arrange for someone to deal with them. Even so, Xu Xiaoxin has seen too many girls who are bullied because they have no power. Not to mention her now, if she were to meet those people from her previous circle, who knows how they would humiliate her.
When Su Yaoyao heard her mention bars, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at her.
"What are you thinking? How could I possibly suggest you go to a place like that right now?"
Xu Xiaoxin asked, puzzled, "So what do you mean?"
Su Yaoyao smiled and said, "You can go to a dance institution and see if they have any teacher positions available. With your skills, I think you'll definitely be fine."
Upon hearing Su Yaoyao's words, Xu Xiaoxin's eyes immediately lit up.
"Yeah, how come I didn't think of that?"
Su Yaoyao glanced at her sideways, her tone slightly teasing: "Because you're stupid."
Xu Xiaoxin smiled, didn't refute her, and casually asked another question.
"By the way, what was Su Hai's reaction when you went to see him today?"
Upon hearing Xu Xiaoxin ask this, Su Yaoyao propped her head up and sighed softly.
"I feel that Su Hai doesn't really believe Chen Huimei would do such a thing, but I've already put the evidence in front of him. I just don't know what he'll do."
