Mr. Shang, please be passionately in love after marriage.

Fang Wen called at that moment.

"Mr. Shang, your wife..."

On the phone, Fang Wen struggled to find the right words, unsure of what to say.

Shang Hanzhou held his phone in one hand, his brows furrowed, his cold, dark eyes fixed on the exit. His voice was indifferent: "Speak."

Fang Wen closed his eyes and said, "Madam isn't going back to Beijing today!"

Just as Wei Xingzhou was about to enter his password to transfer the money, his sharp ears overheard this and he quickly leaned over to ask, "Assistant Wen, tell me, what's going on here?"

"Old Wei, don't try to renege on your promise. Transfer the money to me first."

Sheng Fan grabbed him by the back of his collar, wanting him to transfer the money first.

Wei Xingzhou slapped him away, "Get out of here, let's hear what Assistant Wen has to say first."

Fang Wen said, "My wife was picked up by another man, who said she would go home for two days and then return to Beijing."

Other men?

Wei Xingzhou and Sheng Fan's expressions changed, and their first reaction was to look up at the top of Shang Hanzhou's head.

A vibrant green color is about to break through the soil.

Shang Hanzhou's brows furrowed suddenly.

"I see."

The cold sound quality makes it impossible to hear any fluctuations.

Fang Wen was about to add, "My wife said that man is... her brother."

Before he could finish saying the last two words, Wei Xingzhou snatched the phone and hung up.

"Brother Zhou, I think you need to go to Jiangcheng right now, otherwise..."

He looked up at Shang Hanzhou's head, coughed twice, and his mockery was obvious.

Sheng Fan pushed him away, "Get lost, you old Wei. Don't try to sow discord here. Assistant Wen hasn't even finished speaking yet. Maybe she's your sister-in-law's old classmate. Can't classmates catch up?"

"I think you're just a sore loser and unwilling to pay out ten million."

Wei Xingzhou: "So what if I can't accept defeat? I just don't want to pay out ten million, so what?"

The two were arguing fiercely over ten million.

Shang Hanzhou frowned expressionlessly, seemingly annoyed by the noise, and immediately distanced himself from the two.

It was Sheng Fan who first noticed that he had left.

"Brother Zhou, aren't you going to wait anymore?"

No, it's not that we can wait any longer, since Cen hope isn't coming back today.

He thought Shang Hanzhou was going back, but then realized he was going the wrong way. "Brother Zhou, the way back isn't that way."

That's the way to the boarding gate.

Shang Hanzhou left them with only a cold, tall figure, saying, "I'm going to Jiangcheng."

"..."

"Grass!"

Sheng Fan froze on the spot.

Wei Xingzhou burst into laughter and grabbed his collar.

"Come on, transfer ten million to me right now!"

He said he absolutely had to go to Jiangcheng to see Shang Hanzhou! After all, his wife was in Jiangcheng.

……

Jiangcheng.

Cen hope hasn't been back for two years, but everything seems unchanged.

Yu Ping got married when she was eight years old.

The other party was a truck driver who had a son with his ex-wife, who was two years older than Cen hope.

In the third year after their marriage, the couple bought a second-hand house in the old town and have lived there ever since.

The buildings in the old town area don't have elevators. Cen hope's family lives on the eighth floor, so they have to walk up.

She was carrying a suitcase.

As soon as they got out of the car, Jiang Zheng took the suitcase from her hands.

"Manman, I'll do it."

Cen hope handed him the suitcase, and perhaps because she hadn't been back for so long, she was still a little nervous.

As always, Jiang Zheng patted her head and said, "Mom and Dad are looking forward to your return. They've already prepared the meal."

I could already smell the familiar aroma of food as soon as I got to the sixth floor.

The weather in Jiangcheng was hot and humid.

When Cen hope arrived home, she was covered in sweat. The air conditioner was on, and a cool breeze swept over her as soon as she entered, relieving much of the heat.

Yu Ping and Jiang Guoliang were already waiting at the door.

As soon as the door opened, Yu Ping was the first to greet her, "Manman is back."

Jiang Guoliang then bent down and brought out the pair of slippers that Cen hope used to wear.

"Full of shoes."

It was the same scene every time she came home in the past.

Cen hope's eyes welled up with tears, and she sniffed before saying, "Thank you, Mom and Dad."

"Silly child, why are you being so polite?"

Jiang Guoliang has a kind face. Because of driving a truck for many years, his health is not very good. Two years ago, he suffered a heart attack and was barely saved.

But as I get older, I also have many other health problems, so I need to have surgery as soon as possible, which will cost a lot of money.

At that time, Cen hope was still studying, and Jiang Zheng was in the army.

He planned to divorce Yu Ping so that he wouldn't drag her and Cen hope down with him.

Yu Ping refused to divorce him and was willing to sell the house to pay for his medical treatment. However, Cen hope eventually found out about this.

She took the money and ensured he could have the surgery smoothly.

The price she paid was that she returned to the Cen family and married in place of Cen Ning.

I can't bear to think about it; it makes me feel terrible.

"Manman hasn't eaten yet, let's talk about it after she finishes eating."

Jiang Zheng stood at the door carrying his suitcase and said, "Ah Zheng is right, let's eat first." Upon hearing this, Yu Ping grabbed Cen Xi's hand and quickly walked inside, saying, "Ah Zheng is right, let's eat first."

The scratches on my arm from the cat have scabbed over, so they don't look as scary as before.

Yu Ping saw it and secretly wiped away her tears.

During the meal, he kept piling food onto her plate, making a total of eight dishes, all of which were Cen hope's favorite foods since she was a child.

"Manman has lost weight."

Back in Jiangcheng, her face still had a bit of flesh on it, but now her features are much thinner, which makes Yu Ping feel sorry for her.

The nickname "Manman" was given to Cen hope by her, meaning happiness and fulfillment.

But in the end, it was she, as the mother, who let her down, causing her to suffer a lot from a young age.

"How are things in Beijing?"

Yu Ping had asked these questions many times.

Cen hope didn't get impatient and answered her seriously, "Don't worry about me. I have a job and an income. I won't be in a bad situation."

"That……"

Yu Ping hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

She knew that her daughter had married a big shot. There were many rules in big families, as she had known when she was with Cen Jiansheng. Not to mention, the business world was many times more prosperous than the Cen family.

Cen hope knew what she wanted to ask, and said with a smile, "Grandpa Shang is very good to me, and my aunt is very good to me too."

"And what about him?"

At this moment, Jiang Zheng suddenly spoke, his inscrutable eyes looking at Cen hope.

Cen hope laughed: "He's not bad either. When he found out I was injured, he took the initiative to arrange for someone to take care of me."

Jiang Zheng scoffed: "He gave a few instructions, but I didn't see him come over."

Cen hope pursed her lips. Shang Hanzhou was busy with work, so how could he have time to come to Jiangcheng? He had already done a great job. The two of them had always treated each other with respect, and she knew that.

Therefore, I won't make things difficult for myself with these requirements.

He'll come over when he has time.

The conversation ended there, and no one brought it up again.

The meal lasted for more than two hours. When Cen hope wanted to clear the table, Jiang Guoliang stopped her, saying, "Manman, go watch TV. Dad's here."

Cen hope didn't leave; she asked about his health.

"Dad is fine, Manman, don't worry. Your brother is here for you. Just stay home and play peacefully, and don't think about anything else."

Jiang Guoliang's complexion was rosy, and he looked much better than he had been two years ago.

Cen hope responded and bent down to pick up the trash next to him.

"Then I'll go downstairs to throw out the trash."

"Ah Zheng, go throw it away."

This is on the eighth floor; climbing up and down is exhausting.

Cen hope had already rushed out. Now that she was home, she wanted to do something. She was quick and soon got downstairs.

The garbage collection point is some distance away.

She was sucking on an ice pop as she walked slowly forward, looking down at her phone.

Fang Wen was saying that the three cats had found a home and someone would come to pick them up in the next couple of days. Just as she was about to leave, Shang Hanzhou's video suddenly popped up.

She was startled and almost dropped her phone.

Why did he suddenly video call me?
