That very night, Xue Qing returned to her dormitory and wrote an anonymous letter of denunciation, accusing Chu Yuan of seducing her superiors and having a disorderly lifestyle.
Throughout the entire process, she didn't say a single bad word about Shen Xizhou. After so many years of love, it's not something that can be given up so easily.
Anyway, they'll pick on the weak. Chu Yuan is just a clerk without a formal position, right? Considering the impact, dismissing her is the best course of action for the institute.
Xue Qing had just been transferred to a new job and wasn't prepared for anything.
Therefore, I can only stay in the dormitory arranged by my employer for the time being.
I was rushing off to a team-building event, intending to surprise Shen Xizhou, but...
He was the one who gave her a huge surprise!
Despite her anger, Xue Qing still harbored a sliver of hope deep down, believing that Shen Xizhou was nothing more than a fleeting novelty.
The little girl, with her coquettishness and capriciousness, was a unique sight he had never experienced.
But for a girl like this who has neither background nor ability and can only rely on her figure and face, the greatest skill she can offer is to be someone's mistress.
It's utterly unacceptable!
Based on her understanding of Shen Xizhou, he was not such a superficial person.
Even if Shen Xizhou were willing, his family would never allow him to marry a girl from a different social class and who was not even the right age for him, so as not to make a fool of himself!
After figuring all this out, Xue Qing realized that it was already dawn.
After getting up, washing and dressing herself to look her best, she sat down, drank coffee, and dialed the number of "Aunt Lin" that she had saved.
*
Beijing, 6:00 AM.
Ms. Lin was woken up by her alarm clock. Like her sister Lin Hanshuang, she has a habit of getting up early to exercise.
However, Lin Hanshuang likes to go for a morning run, while Ms. Lin prefers yoga.
Upon opening my phone, the first thing I saw was a WeChat message from Lin Hanshuang.
[Xizhou has a girlfriend, did you know?] I didn't dare to say we were getting married right away, afraid that Ms. Lin's already unstable blood pressure would spike.
Ms. Lin stared at the line of text for a long time before smiling nonchalantly and typing, "[So early in the morning, are you teasing me again? What have you been busy with lately? It's been months since you last contacted your older sister!]"
Lin Hanshuang, [...]
[Don't interrupt, Ms. Lin, I'm telling the truth!]
[Xizhou really has a girlfriend, I'll show you her picture!]
Following the text was a photo of Shen Xizhou and Chu Yuan at a mahjong table, taken secretly by Qin Zhengming that night. He probably hadn't done this kind of thing for many years since becoming a leader, as the photo was a bit blurry.
However, it was clear that the man was Shen Xizhou, and the woman was young, beautiful, and charming.
Lin's mother, [...]
[Is this his girlfriend? Are you sure she's not his illegitimate daughter?]
Lin Hanshuang rolled her eyes as she held her phone. Was this something her own mother would say?
In recent years, Shen Xizhou has been wandering around and rarely home. He has refused all the blind dates arranged for him by Ms. Lin. He has shown great perseverance and ruthlessness in finding a partner, to the point that Ms. Lin dislikes this son very much.
Lin Hanshuang, who was only a few years older than Shen Xizhou, had once considered remaining single, so she felt it was alright.
At this point, she was too lazy to write a long post, and simply sent a few more messages:
[Ms. Lin, you still don't understand your son enough!]
[Xi Zhou personally admitted it to Qin Zhengming, how could it be false? Besides, look at this photo, he's sitting behind that young girl, his casual movements, his protective expression—even with your sharp eyes, can't you see something amiss?]
[Also, Xizhou said he sent photos home. It's likely the nanny missed them because there were so many letters from my brother-in-law. You should go look for them again!]
After saying that, Lin Hanshuang closed WeChat and continued her leisurely stroll.
My daily morning run is done. After a stroll home and a quick breakfast, I'm ready to start my day full of energy!
With a slight smile, she was still looking forward to seeing how Ms. Lin and Mr. Shen would react when they found out, haha.
It's sure to be impactful!
Ms. Lin looked at the film over and over again, and then zoomed in to confirm it, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.
Could it be true?
Realizing this possibility, Ms. Lin was wide awake and forgot all about yoga. She raised her voice and shouted, "Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang!"
Hearing the sound, Shen Jianzhong, who was still in bed, pulled the blanket up in disgust.
Ms. Lin glanced at him indifferently, ignored him, and took off her shoes to go downstairs.
The Shen family lived in a small, compact duplex apartment with a simple layout and a maid's room downstairs.
"Madam, you called me?"
Ms. Lin said, "Don't bother with breakfast. Let me see all the packages Lao Shen received recently."
Shen Jianzhong is a member of the Supreme People's Court's Trial Committee, responsible for reviewing and supervising cases nationwide. In short, he's like a modern-day Bao Zheng (a legendary upright official in Chinese history). As a result, he receives a lot of letters throughout the year, so many that trucks couldn't carry them all.
Most were sent to the workplace, but a few, I don't know how those people got the addresses, sent them to homes.
The nanny, Zhang Sao, made breakfast for the couple every day, and after they left, she would sort the mail out of the mailbox.
These letters were all kinds of things, some even containing a whole bag of money.
So it's normal to find some omissions.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang wiped her hands. "Express delivery? Oh, oh, oh, today's hasn't been sorted yet. The first half of the month's deliveries are in the storage room. The master usually has someone handle them once a month, but the person who's handling this month's hasn't come yet."
Upon hearing this, Ms. Lin hurriedly walked towards the storage room. "Okay, come here, let's find the letter sent back from Xizhou together."
Aunt Zhang was quite surprised, "Young Master sent a letter? When did you send it?"
"It should have been a few days ago."
