Chapter 159 Meeting the Rival



Her first husband was called Shen Liang, and coincidentally, he was the development manager who had just joined Lu Group a few days ago.

However, her second husband is relatively mysterious. The information only records that they are divorced, and there is no further introduction about this person. Even his name is hidden.

Gu Bai asked people to conduct an in-depth investigation on this person, but there was still no clue.

However, his ultimate goal has been achieved. As long as he knows that Xia Zhichu is currently single, other outsiders are not important to him.

"I'm so sorry." Xia Zhichu said awkwardly, "My friend hasn't eaten yet either. I'll go feed her first. Enjoy your meal, Mr. Gu."

After saying that, Xia Zhichu left for the director's office to check on Liu Jiajia's situation.

After making sure that Liu Jiajia was able to eat, Xia Zhichu immediately returned to the ward, selected some light soup for her, and fed her mouthful by mouthful.

"Chu Chu, you don't have to take care of me all the time. You can go and do something if you have something to do." Liu Jiajia enjoyed being fed by Xia Zhichu, and her heart was full of emotion.

Xia Zhichu said, "It's the weekend and I don't have anything to do. I have time to accompany you."

"You're newly married, you should spend more time with your husband."

Liu Jiajia still felt embarrassed. After all, Xia Zhichu had a family and couldn't always be with her.

"He has been on a business trip for several days and won't be back soon." Xia Zhichu said, then fed her some soup, still feeling a little depressed.

Liu Jiajia was a little surprised when she heard this. "You two are newly married, and you're often apart on business trips. This can easily cause problems."

It’s not that she is sensitive, but after experiencing the Lin Defa incident, Liu Jiajia saw through the excuses for business trips and social events.

It is normal for a man to be away from home occasionally on business trips, but if he uses business trips and social events as an excuse for a long time, then there is a problem.

Just think of Lin Defa, who always used these excuses to get rid of her, and then secretly ate outside.

Liu Jiajia knew that she shouldn't say this to Xia Zhichu, but out of concern for her friend, she couldn't help but remind him.

Xia Zhichu smiled and said, "No, I believe him!"

This is the trust that comes from the heart. For some reason, Xia Zhichu just can't doubt Si Mochen.

Moreover, even when he was on a business trip, he fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband, asking his friends to look after her privately. And like now, knowing that she had not eaten lunch, he specially called to order food to be delivered to the hospital.

These details were something her ex-husband could not do before, but even when Si Mochen was not around, he used his strength to protect her well, which touched Xia Zhichu very much.

Of course, if Si Mochen was unfaithful in his marriage, she would not make too much of a fuss and would end their relationship in time to cut losses.

"Seeing how happy you are, it seems my worries are unnecessary." Liu Jiajia held Xia Zhichu's hand and said seriously, "Chuchu, you must be very happy this time."

Xia Zhichu nodded vigorously and said, "Happiness is created by yourself, Jiajia, you will be blessed with happiness in the future."

Liu Jiajia smiled sadly.

Happiness, I'm afraid it's very far away from her.

After experiencing the devastation of this marriage, she no longer has any hope in love. After she is discharged from the hospital, she will dissolve her marriage with Lin Defa. In the future, her focus will only be on her two children.

As for marriage, she doesn't expect it.

After all, no man would want someone like her.

While the two women were encouraging each other, a doctor came in to examine Liu Jiajia. Xia Zhichu finished her meal and cleaned up. Just as she was about to go out to throw away the trash, she bumped into Gu Bai head-on.

"Let me help you. I can throw it away along the way."

Xia Zhichu wanted to say no, but Gu Bai had already taken the garbage bag from her hand.

This scene happened to be seen by Si Mochen who appeared in the corridor. He immediately became jealous and quickly approached the two of them.

When Gu Bai turned around to leave, he quickly snatched the bag belonging to Xia Zhichu from his hand.

"As for Zhichu's things, I won't need anyone else's help."

Xia Zhichu was greatly surprised by the man's sudden appearance.

Gu Bai was also caught off guard. He looked up at his boss Mo Chen's deep and cold eyes, and frowned deeply.

Who was the person in front of him? Why was his aura so overwhelming? The key was his innate sense of majesty, which made him feel a little breathless.

In fact, this face seemed familiar to me.

Just as I was thinking, Xia Zhichu's gentle voice came to my ears, "Why are you back?"

Si Mochen moved closer, put his arm around her waist, and said in a deep voice, "I just came back to hand over some work and came to see you."

Xia Zhichu said "oh" and suddenly remembered the two words "wait for me" that the man said. It turned out that he was on his way to the hospital at that time.

He was obviously also caught in the rain and his body was soaked, but the two of them were so close that all Xia Zhichu could smell was his pleasant scent.

Immediately, her heartbeat accelerated again, and even her whole face felt hot.

The two of them were leaning on each other in such an ambiguous manner, which made Gu Bai, who was standing beside them, very embarrassed.

He pretended to cough twice and looked at Xia Zhichu politely, "Miss Xia, could you please introduce me? Who is this?"

"He is..."

Xia Zhichu was about to answer, but Si Mochen spoke first, "Husband."

After saying this, Gu Bai's face turned ugly.

how so?

The information clearly states that Xia Zhichu is divorced, so where did her husband come from?

Could it be that all the information he obtained was fake?

Xia Zhichu said embarrassedly, "Mr. Gu, let me formally introduce you. This is my husband."

Gu Bai felt his heart suddenly crack open.

It's even depressing and uncomfortable.

He was a little embarrassed, then he extended his hand and introduced himself, "Gu Bai, nice to meet you."

Si Mochen ignored her, his eyes falling gently on Xia Zhichu, "Have you eaten the meal I ordered for you?"

Xia Zhichu hummed, "I just finished eating and was about to take out the trash."

"Is it delicious?" the man asked again, completely ignoring the presence of other people around.

Gu Bai's face became increasingly gloomy. It turned out that Xia Zhichu was unwilling to dine with him because her husband had already ordered food for her and had it delivered to her ward.

But he came here to show his courtesy like a clown, which was so ridiculous!

Xia Zhichu didn't realize that her unintentional action had hurt Gu Bai's self-esteem. Facing Si Mochen's question, she responded very gently, "It's delicious, but don't spend so much money in the future. Yuexiang Tianxia is the most luxurious hotel in Jincheng, and the food must be expensive. Everything you eat is money, enough for several months' salary."

She felt bad, but she just called to cancel the meal, and the waiter said it couldn't be refunded. If she didn't eat it, it would be a waste, so she ate it all without hesitation.

My stomach still feels uncomfortable now.

So I wanted to go out to throw away the garbage and digest my food at the same time, but who knew that Gu Bai would appear, and then Si Mochen also came.

"It's worth spending money on your wife."

Si Mochen deliberately leaned close to Xia Zhichu's ear and spoke, but his eyelids were raised, and he looked at Gu Bai with a look full of provocation.
