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

The next afternoon, Zhong Shuangshuang received a reply from her best friend: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Zhong Shuangshuang quickly asked, "Where are you?"

Jiang Yu did not reply.

Lin Ce also received a message from Jiang Yu: "Assistant Lin, I'm sorry, I accidentally pressed the wrong button that day and called your phone by mistake."

Lin Ce replied instantly: "Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything, Madam."

As expected of a special assistant, her mind works quickly: "Mr. Shen has been very worried about you these past few days, Madam. Would you like to give him a call?"

After a long while, Jiang Yu replied, "If I wanted to call him, I wouldn't have replied to your message."

Lin Ce understood.

This is to make him a mouthpiece.

Both of them received the message, except for Shen Chengyan.

And he was the last to receive the news.

Shen Chengyan thought he must have a very good temper to be able to hold back his anger.

He asked Lin Ce, "Did she say where?"

Lin Ce whispered, "They haven't said yet."

Shen Chengyan took off his pen and rimless glasses and threw them on his desk. He pressed his temples with his fingers, then suddenly looked up and asked Lin Ce, "Do you think she ran off with some random guy?"

Lin Ce: "..."

This is a life-or-death question.

"Alright." Shen Chengyan probably realized his question was absurd. "You can leave now."

Lin Ce left immediately.

It won't delay anything.

I was afraid that if I was any slower, I would be faced with another deadly question.

**

Jiang Yu did not disappear; she returned to her hometown.

The phone was deliberately turned off.

Before she met Xiao Yang, she had made two phone calls to Shen Chengyan and also to Lin Ce.

It was unusual for her to call both of them at the same time. Given Shen Chengyan's cautious nature, he would definitely ask her for the reason.

She didn't know how to answer him.

I don't want to face him either.

After parting ways with Xiao Yang, Jiang Yu went to another place.

Hearing something else from another person, he was so shocked that he bought a train ticket for that day and went back to his hometown.

Her aunt's house and her house are both in the city, not far apart. When she was in college, she would stay at her aunt's house for a while whenever she came back for holidays.

By then she was an adult and could earn money by doing odd jobs, and she was able to support herself while staying at her aunt's house.

Although my uncle was not pleased, he didn't say anything more.

Jiang Guodong had scolded her many times, calling her an ungrateful wretch who never stayed at her own home and ran off to someone else's, making her a laughingstock.

Jiang Yu didn't bother with him and just continued doing what she was doing.

This time when I came back, I went straight to my aunt's house. Because it was summer vacation, Guo Yaoyao was there too.

As soon as the girl saw her come back, she clung to her like a puppy.

The two sisters slept in the same bed, and they chatted so enthusiastically on the first night that they stayed up all night.

Early in the morning, her uncle was pacing back and forth in the house, making a lot of noise. Jiang Yu hadn't slept well and was getting increasingly angry from the noise, but since this wasn't her own home, she could only endure it. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and pulled Guo Yaoyao, who was also in pain, out of bed. The two of them brushed their teeth, wiped their faces, and went straight out the door.

My hometown has changed a lot in recent years. Several large shopping malls have been built, and there are many more places to eat, drink, and have fun.

After finishing their meal, the two sisters each ordered a cup of milk tea and went shopping.

Jiang Yu wasn't in a good mood at first, but seeing Guo Yaoyao trying on clothes so enthusiastically, she turned her attention back to her.

The little girl was at the age where she loved beauty. She was tall and thin, and looked good in anything. Jiang Yu dressed her up in several outfits from head to toe, just like dressing up a doll.

I bought a few sets of clothes for my aunt, and a pair of discounted shoes for that annoying uncle.

Actually, she didn't want to buy even a pair of shoes, but that man was really petty. If she didn't buy him anything, he would take his anger out on her.

After shopping, Jiang Yu simply booked a room nearby and checked in with Guo Yaoyao. "Let's stay here tonight. We can chat however we want tonight, and I can get a good night's sleep during the day."

Guo Yaoyao lay on the bed, propping her chin up with her hand, and asked Jiang Yu, "Sis, how long are you planning to stay after you come back?"

"What, you want to kick me out as soon as I get back?"

"No way, I wish you would come back often, but you rarely come back after you got married. You didn't come back for Chinese New Year last year, and you came back alone the year before last, stayed for two days and then left. All I can say is that you only came back more often in the first two years after you got married."

Jiang Yu remained silent.

Guo Yaoyao glanced at her and asked hesitantly, "Is it your brother-in-law who won't let you come back?"

Jiang Yu burst out laughing: "It's really not that. It's just that I didn't want to come back. You know how awful my dad is. If I come back, he'll ask me for money. Would you want to come back?"

Guo Yaoyao's father wasn't much better off; she could understand and empathize with Jiang Yu very well.

"So, are you and your brother-in-law doing well?" Guo Yaoyao asked again.

"Great! We have a really good relationship," Jiang Yu said with a forced smile.

He told such a huge lie to avoid worrying Guo Yaoyao and her aunt.

She can keep her divorce from Shen Chengyan a secret for as long as possible.

"But I think you two had a fight."

Guo Yaoyao lay down next to Jiang Yu, hugged her sister's arm, rested her head on her shoulder, and expressed her concerns, "I felt something was wrong when you transferred money to me out of the blue a while ago, and it's even more strange that you suddenly came back alone this time. Your phone has been off since last night. You are a woman with a husband and children, how can you allow your phone to be off for so long?"

"And you were distracted when we went shopping this afternoon, and your expression changed even more when I mentioned your brother-in-law."

Guo Yaoyao looked up at her and said, "Sister, am I right?"

Jiang Yu patted her head: "Good job, as expected of someone who studied law, your logic is clear and well-organized."

"So what's going on between you and your brother-in-law?"

"It's nothing serious, we just had a fight, I came back to clear my head."

"Really?"

"Really."

Guo Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Both of them were exhausted after a long day, and hadn't slept well the night before. Lying on the soft, comfortable bed, Guo Yaoyao fell asleep almost immediately.

Jiang Yu was clearly very tired and wanted to sleep, but her mind was in a mess.

She could never forget what the security guard at the club said to her after she and Xiao Yang broke up.

As she left the hot pot restaurant and walked back, she suddenly remembered the puzzling remark made by the man who used to collect debts and was now a security guard.

That night he said, "What are you so arrogant about? You're such a snobbish person. Believe me or not, I'll go find your boyfriend again..."

Why did he use the word "again"?

Has he met with Shen Chengyan more than once?

But she clearly remembered that they had never had a direct conflict, let alone met.

After hearing what Xiao Yang said, Jiang Yu felt that she was suspicious of anything related to Shen Chengyan.

To dispel her doubts, she went to find the security guard and had a chat with him.
