Five years after my wife's death, she came back!

"Miss Meng? Miss Meng?"

The teacher next to her noticed that she had been staring at the photo for a long time and called her several times before Meng Shuyan came back to her senses.

"Ms. Meng is very interested in this photo?"

Meng Shuyan nodded, and the teacher immediately smiled and introduced to her: "This is a basketball tournament that our school organized with a neighboring school seven years ago. At that time, it was a junior student who participated, and our school won first place."

"Mr. Shang was the vanguard of that competition." The teacher's eyes seemed to be filled with nostalgia. "I still remember that Mr. Shang was a prominent figure on campus. After graduation, he was still very accomplished and a role model that everyone admired."

Meng Shuyan wasn't interested in listening to her boast, but wanted to find out more, so she asked, "Were all these students in the photos Shen Yan's classmates back then?"

The teacher thought for a moment and said, "Most of them are, but of course, there are definitely many students from other grades and colleges who come to join in the fun."

Meng Shuyan pointed to the profile of the person handing water to Shang Chenyan: "Who is this person? Do you know him?"

The teacher stared at the figure for a long time, feeling that it was familiar, but she just couldn't remember it.

"Sorry, it's been so long, I can't remember clearly."

Meng Shuyan frowned, stood still for a moment, and then took out her phone to take a picture.

After leaving the school, she sat in her car and immediately took out her phone to log into the Jiangcheng University campus forum.

She was also a graduate of Jiangcheng University, but she had never used this thing before. After fiddling with it for a long time, she finally found some important information.

Shang Chenyan is always the center of attention wherever he goes. Even though he keeps a low profile at school, there are still quite a few photos of him taken during his years there.

Meng Shuyan kept searching and finally found what she wanted in a post.

This is a photo taken from a distance, captioned "Is the most handsome guy at Jiangcheng University in a relationship?"

The photo shows a man and a woman walking hand in hand under a ginkgo tree. The photo is from eight years ago and is a bit blurry, but Meng Shuyan still recognized Shang Chenyan and the woman next to her at a glance.

She looks a lot like the woman I saw outside the merchant's villa that day.

Meng Shuyan's expression shifted repeatedly. She had never met Shang Chenyan's wife, nor did she know the woman, but she knew that Shang Chenyan and his wife had met at school.

So, now that his wife is gone, he's found someone who looks like her and is keeping her by his side?

A substitute lover?

No wonder Pei Yanchuan protected that woman so much that day. He and Shang Chenyan have been good friends since childhood, so he must know the inside story.

No wonder he wanted to sever ties with the Meng family and bankrupt the Xia family just because he accidentally bumped into that woman.

It turned out to be the case.

Oh.

She sneered. She hadn't realized Shang Chenyan was such a devoted lover.

Meng Shuyan felt that she had figured out the truth.

She made a phone call: "Help me look into the matter of Shang Chenyan's wife from back then. She was also a student at Jiangcheng University, and should have been in the same year as Shang Chenyan."

After hearing something over there, Meng Shuyan said impatiently, "Just do what I tell you to do. It's best to check from the school's side and see if you can get her photo and file."

"Hurry up."

Shi Ying's search for a new apartment was going very poorly. Two landlords broke their promises after agreeing to the terms, wasting another day of her time.

As Shang Chenyan drove, he caught a glimpse of the girl's absent-minded expression out of the corner of his eye, and his grip on the steering wheel tightened subtly.

"There's a charity auction gala this weekend, you and I will go together."

Shi Ying snapped out of her daze and turned to look at him: "Me? But I've never been to one of those kinds of parties before..."

"It's okay, it's just a formality, it's related to work." Shang Chenyan glanced at her, "I'll pay you for overtime."

"Besides, you wouldn't expect me to bring Jiang Wen to this kind of occasion, would you?"

At parties, men and women usually go in pairs. If Shang Chenyan were to have Jiang Wen escort him into the venue...

Shi Ying thought about the scene and couldn't help but laugh.

Shang Chenyan knew without even thinking what kind of nonsense was going on in her head, and his face darkened.

When she arrived at the company and returned to her workstation after a long absence, Shi Ying felt completely relaxed.

Jiang Mingxue spun her chair over: "Let's do an interview. What's it like working in the CEO's office?"

Shi Ying sighed, "Life is worse than death."

Jiang Mingxue and Su Wan both laughed, expressing their sympathy for her plight.

"What's all the noise about?"

A slightly sarcastic voice came from the doorway, and Cheng Ting walked in, wearing high heels.

The three quickly dispersed and returned to their seats.

Cheng Ting's gaze swept over the other two people and landed on Shi Ying.

She walked over and placed a document on the table.

Shi Ying glanced at it; the cover read "Lushan Golf Course Construction Project".

"This is a key project that the company will focus on developing next quarter. President Shang attaches great importance to it. Since you don't have much to do recently, this project will be assigned to you to follow up."

Shi Ying blinked: "Am I alone?"

Cheng Ting smiled enigmatically: "Of course not. There's a person in charge for this project; you just need to assist."

She pointed to the documents on the table: "Do a good job, and we'll go to the site this afternoon."

"Okay, Director Cheng."

After giving her instructions, Cheng Ting left in a good mood.

The person in charge of this project is President Shang's nephew, a rich young master. When she worked on this project with him before, she was almost driven crazy by him, so she simply passed this hot potato to Shi Ying.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Shi Ying arrived at Lushan Golf Course.

She stood by the door waiting to meet with the project manager, still flipping through the documents Cheng Ting had given her.

This stadium was put out to tender by the government, and the competition was fierce. It is one of the most important projects in the company's construction sector next quarter.

She didn't know much about golf, so she made the most of her time to learn more along the way.

"Shiying?"

Just as Shi Ying was getting dizzy from reading the materials, she suddenly heard someone call her name.

When she looked up, she saw Shang Yu, who also looked surprised.

Shang Yu, dressed in a white hoodie and black casual pants, strolled over lazily with his hands in his pockets: "You're the new assistant?"

Shi Ying blinked. Could it be that he was the person in charge of this project?

Shang Yu walked up to her and bent down slightly: "You're stunned to see me?"

"No, I just didn't expect it to be you." Shi Ying was a little uncomfortable with him being so close, so she took a small step back. "Aren't you still at school?"

Shang Yu snorted. Who knows what his uncle was thinking all day? He originally said he was going to send him to Africa, but for some reason he didn't let him go. However, he also didn't let him go to the company, so he gave him this golf course project.

Lushan is in the suburbs, and it takes him two hours to get home every day, so he really doesn't have time to wander around the company.
