Shen Shixun's brows relaxed slightly. "Zhizhi, today..."
"Fine, since you say you don't know her, then why did you personally bring her into this room? What happened between you two in this room?!"
The surveillance footage was captured shortly afterward, showing that Xiang Jingyi had arrived in person, and the employees dared not keep him waiting too long.
External surveillance, internal surveillance.
From the moment Chen Moli approached the office until Shen Shixun led her inside, the two acted as if they were complete strangers, and even kept talking.
Shen Shixun usually ignores other women, but he was very attentive to this woman. The surveillance camera was too far away to hear what the two were saying, but they were talking the whole time in the footage.
This doesn't seem like they have no connection at all, nor does it seem like they're complete strangers.
This was a planned attempt to sow discord, and they even chose the right people to target.
Shen Shixun had only met Chen Moli once a few months ago at Shengting. At that time, Zhang Yandong was drunk and casually let Chen Moli sit next to him. They only drank one glass of wine, and Shen Shixun left after a short while.
He never saw her again after that. Even though he had such a good memory, when he saw Chen Moli again a few months later, he felt that she looked familiar but did not recognize her at first glance.
When Chen Moli appeared at the mine and stated directly that she was there to see Xiang Ciyuan, he had no doubts whatsoever.
The mine is owned by the Xiang family. As the Xiang family's son-in-law, he was afraid that his brother-in-law would get involved in some bad romantic relationship, which would have a bad impact if it got out. His first reaction was naturally to invite someone into the house and talk behind closed doors.
The other party had a firm grasp of his thoughts and then staged a power outage, which Chen Moli then orchestrated herself. He, a big, burly man, was now in a situation where he couldn't clear his name no matter what.
“Chen Moli came to the mine saying she was looking for your second brother, so I invited her in.”
"Looking for my second brother?"
Xiang Nanzhi gave a cold laugh. "Shen Shixun, can't you come up with a more plausible reason?"
He had nothing to say.
Xiang Ciyuan has many women outside, but almost none of them are permanent; they are all fleeting affairs. Besides, Xiang Ciyuan is not in charge of the mine here. If a woman comes to him, he will go to the project to recruit her. What would he do at the mine?
"Even if Chen Moli said she was looking for my second brother, what does that have to do with you? What do you mean by inviting her into your office?"
Asking that question makes it seem like he's just being presumptuous.
Shen Shixun wasn't a pretentious man, and he didn't like to explain things. He had said enough tonight, but Xiang Nanzhi showed no sign of trusting him.
It seemed that saying anything more would be futile.
How do you explain the power outage inside the house?
"Since you're not familiar with Chen Moli, where did her injuries come from? Some workers saw marks on her shoulder; weren't they inflicted by you?"
"I did it."
Chen Moli suddenly threw herself into his arms, and in his haste, he pushed her away, which is why she has that scar on her shoulder.
Shen Shixun firmly believed that a clear conscience fears no accusation, but he couldn't explain the events of tonight at all.
"You're the one who caused this, what else do you have to say?"
Xiang Nan felt inexplicably chilled. He was having affairs with other women and had even dragged her second brother into it.
Xiang Ciyuan is a scoundrel, but as her older brother, he is incredibly kind and devoted to her.
It's extremely irrational for Shen Shixun to use Xiang Ciyuan as a shield at this time.
Xiang Nanzhi just wanted to leave as soon as possible and didn't want to continue to embarrass herself. After a while, she said, "Okay, since you said Chen Moli came to see my second brother, then I'll ask my second brother if he knows Chen Moli."
Xiang Ciyuan is having fun at a club tonight, surrounded by beautiful women and lots of noise.
When Xiang Nanzhi called, he deliberately chose a quiet place, "Hello... Zhizhi."
"Second brother, where are you?"
"I'm busy, what's wrong?"
"can I ask you something?"
"Go ahead and speak, just say what you have to say."
"Does Second Brother know Chen Moli?"
"who?"
"Chen Moli".
Xiang Nanzhi didn't mention that Chen Moli was Sheng Ting's daughter; he simply said her name.
"I don't know him."
"Okay, then that's all."
Xiang Ciyuan wanted to ask more questions, but Xiang Nanzhi hung up the phone and looked at him with a blank expression, unsure of what to do.
Chen Moli?
Xiang Ciyuan had absolutely no recollection of it.
He has a fish-like memory when it comes to women; he'll forget almost everything after sleeping with one today, and sometimes he won't even recognize her if they meet again after a few days.
As for his name, he couldn't be bothered to remember it. It was all just a passing cloud anyway, so what was the point of remembering it so clearly?
The office was unusually quiet, and Xiang Nanzhi felt a peace she had never experienced before...
"Let's wait and see. When Chen Moli comes, I'll ask her myself."
"Go ahead and ask, I'm leaving now."
Shen Shixun knew he had no chance of turning the tide tonight; none of his words had any evidence to support them, and he had been too careless.
The fierce rivalry between wealthy families is not something he can win simply by offering his sincere heart. His relationship with Xiang Nanzhi began because of a premeditated conspiracy, so it's understandable that she doesn't believe him now.
But for some reason, he still hoped that Xiang Nanzhi would stand by his side.
Having been together for so long, she knew what kind of person he was.
She could doubt everything, but she absolutely could not question his character.
Shen Shixun walked to the door, where two bodyguards blocked his way. The mine was unusually quiet at night, and in this desolate place, the faint chirping of insects could be heard from the surrounding area.
He turned around and glanced at the woman behind him. Xiang Nanzhi was still relatively rational, but only she knew that she was actually completely defeated.
No woman is unafraid of her husband cheating on her during pregnancy. She is Xiang Nanzhi, but she is also afraid, and she is also sad and upset.
All the emotions converged into one place, forming an obsession.
"Shen Shixun, don't even think about leaving before Chen Moli arrives."
"Miss Xiang, you're trying to trap me here? Do you think those two people at the door can hold me back?"
"I just want to know the truth, I want to know... I want to know... Shen Shixun, how many faces do you have?"
"Since you don't believe me, why bother calling people over?"
I will make you truly convinced.
She still held a sliver of hope; all the evidence pointed to Shen Shixun betraying her, betraying their relationship and marriage.
However, if Chen Moli's words can prove his innocence and break through all existing evidence, then she will choose to believe him and continue the investigation.
Shen Shixun is a stubborn person. In the past, he would have fought with the bodyguards at the door without saying a word. No one could stop him from doing what he wanted.
But today, he made concessions time and time again, wanting Xiang Nanzhi to trust him.
Even though her words repeatedly wounded him deeply, he still hoped that Xiang Nanzhi would give him a little bit of trust at the last moment, just a little bit.
He returned to his seat and lit a cigarette by the window.
Neither of them spoke again, nor did they even look at each other, waiting for Chen Moli to arrive.
