Mr. Shen, your love-struck wife doesn't want you anymore!

The man asked tentatively, "Did I say something wrong?"

Jiang Yu suppressed her shock and calmed her chaotic mind. She widened her eyes and pretended to be surprised, saying, "No, no, you didn't say anything wrong. I'm just too shocked. My husband has never told me about these things."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Sorry, bro, I forgot your name. I think your surname is Xiao, right?"

"Yes, yes, my name is Xiao Yang. It's been so long, it's normal that you don't remember."

"Brother Xiao, you're so understanding," Jiang Yu said with a smile. "My husband is the kind of person who likes to do things quietly and never tells me about the hardships he endures behind the scenes."

Xiao Yang nodded in agreement: "President Shen is indeed not a talkative person. When I went on a business trip with him to X City, he didn't tell me his identity. It wasn't until after the business trip ended and we returned to the head office that I learned that President Shen had just returned from studying abroad and that the company had sent him to work at the grassroots level with us ordinary employees to give him experience."

City X is Jiang Yu's hometown.

Jiang Yu will always remember that she and Shen Chengyan first met in a hospital corridor.

But Xiao Yang said that Shen Chengyan went to the hospital with her.

Jiang Yu's mind raced, and as if she had just thought of something, she said excitedly, "I'm so lucky to have run into Brother Xiao today! My husband's birthday is coming up soon, and I'm really worried about what gift to get him. Brother Xiao, how about this?"

She raised her wrist to check the time. "It's noon. I'd like to invite you to lunch, Brother Xiao. Tell me about my husband's past, and I'll make a short play about it and give it to him as a surprise gift on his birthday. He'll be very happy."

At Jiang Yu's enthusiastic invitation, Xiao Yang went with her to a nearby restaurant.

Jiang Yu chose a private room, which offered better privacy and would not be disturbed.

After Xiao Yang ordered her food and the waiter served it, she turned on the recording device.

Suppressing her cat-like curiosity, she had to feign innocence and ask with a smile, "Brother Xiao, do you think the day my husband met me was October 1st?"

Xiao Yang took a sip of tea, thought for a moment, and said, "Yes, that day was National Day. President Shen was originally going to take me to the station. The car was almost at the parking lot when President Shen suddenly turned around and drove forward, staring intently at one spot. He almost hit someone."

Jiang Yu remembered that her aunt was hospitalized that day.

The day before October 1st, she texted her aunt saying she was going back. Her aunt called and told her to be careful on the road. Guo Yaoyao chattered on the other end of the phone, saying, "Sister, come back soon, I miss you so much."

She was studying at a university in another city at the time. She had a train ticket that came very early in the morning, and it was almost 1 p.m. when she got back. As she was walking from the train station toward the square, she suddenly received a call from Guo Yaoyao.

The little girl was terrified. She cried on the phone to Jiang Yu, "Sister, Mom suddenly fainted. She won't respond no matter how much I call her, and Dad isn't home either, sob sob sob..."

Although Jiang Yu was also panicked, she was a few years older than Guo Yaoyao, so she managed to remain calm and said, "Don't cry, calling an ambulance is the priority. I'm already at the station, I'll be home soon."

"I called an ambulance, I called the police, and I knocked on my neighbors' doors. They stayed with me while we waited for the ambulance to arrive..."

Jiang Yu praised her for being smart, and after calming her down, he picked up his suitcase and ran ahead to find a car.

Her mind was in a mess, fearing something might happen to her aunt. She ran so fast that her suitcase tripped over a pebble on the ground, and she fell to the ground as well.

Ignoring her bruised knee, she got up and kept running.

I called a taxi, which I usually wouldn't dare to take, and contacted Guo Yaoyao on the way to ask her which hospital she was at.

"Brother Xiao, are you sure you followed me from the train station all the way to the hospital?" Jiang Yu picked up his teacup and took a sip of water to hide the turmoil in his heart.

"Of course I can confirm it. When Mr. Shen saw you fall in the car, he immediately stopped the car and ran out, which scared me. But halfway there, he ran back."

Xiao Yang was completely bewildered by his inexplicable actions and asked him in a daze, "Xiao Shen, what are you doing?"

Shen Chengyan seemed to just remember there was someone else in the car. "I saw someone I know. I can't see you off to your stop. Brother Xiao, you can go to the station by yourself, okay?"

"Okay, okay, it's not far, I'll walk there." Xiao Yang got out of the car to get his backpack from the back seat and asked him, "Is that the girl who fell down earlier? I noticed you were staring at her the whole time."

Shen Chengyan gave a mumbled "hmm," seemingly annoyed that he was too slow. He got out of the car, opened the trunk, and impatiently took out his other suitcase and put it on the ground. He didn't even bother to say hello before getting into the car and driving off without a word.

Jiang Yu asked, stunned, "Are you sure he's talking about someone he knows?"

"I'm sure, why would he act so out of sorts if he's not someone we know?" Xiao Yang, sweating profusely from eating hotpot, didn't notice Jiang Yu's absent-minded look. "Ugh, this broth is pretty spicy. Why aren't you eating?"

Jiang Yu's emotions fluctuated like a roller coaster. She mechanically picked up a bite of food, put it in her mouth, and chewed it mechanically.

The vegetable leaves were covered in Sichuan peppercorns, and the numbing sensation exploded in her mouth. She immediately frowned, bent down, and spat into the trash can next to her.

Jiang Yu picked up her iced drink and took a sip. She managed to find her voice and said, "I remember the first time you went to the hospital to see my husband was on October 7th. I was there too, but my husband asked me to leave."

Actually, it's an expenditure.

The reason she didn't think too much about it at the time was that she assumed Shen Chengyan wanted to talk about work, and it wasn't appropriate for her, as an outsider, to listen.

They didn't even introduce themselves to each other.

There is no need for introductions.

Even a simple greeting is a form of politeness.

Now that I think about it carefully, the moment Xiao Yang stepped into the ward, Shen Chengyan sat up straight almost immediately and said to her, "I have something to do here, you can go back first."

It's a very anxious attitude.

What's the rush?

Xiao Yang assumed that she and Shen Chengyan were acquaintances and that she might greet her.

Wouldn't that make her suspicious?

Was he in a hurry for this at the time?

Licking her dry lips, Jiang Yu stared intently at the people opposite her and asked, feigning nervousness, "What did you all talk about after I left? Did my husband talk badly about me behind my back?"

"No, Mr. Shen isn't a gossip. We just had a brief chat. I asked him how he fell and got injured, and he said he accidentally missed a step on the stairs."

Jiang Yu, biting her straw, asked, "Did he say he accidentally missed a step on the stairs?"

"Yes, I even teased President Shen at the time, saying that you are usually a very careful and cautious person, how could you miss a step on the stairs?"

Jiang Yu laughed: "Oh dear, how could you be so careless?"

Xiao Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead. "But I did ask you about it. I said, was that girl who just left the same one we saw at the train station?"
