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

Shen Chengyan suddenly understood.

Jiang Yu's sudden antics are a test for him.

He threw the unfinished food into the trash can, found some tissues, and carefully wiped the mess on the table. He calmly asked, "Are you sure you didn't say that?"

Jiang Yu stared at him intently. "The breakfast you bought is from Wang Ji. The owner's surname is Wang. When I was in school, their packaging didn't have a brand. Now, the takeout packaging has a logo."

"There are so many breakfast shops near the school, how did you manage to find Wang Ji, which is my favorite?"

"In the past, when you and I came back for the New Year, we always went to my aunt's house. The year we got our marriage certificate, I didn't bring you home. I just had you treat my dad to a meal at a restaurant."

"Since you've never been to my house, how do you know which pastry shop is near me?"

The breakfast shop's packaging was too greasy, and the table was dirty everywhere. Shen Chengyan wiped it again and again.

Seemingly finding her words amusing, he slightly curled the corners of his mouth: "Is it hard to find? I asked a passerby for directions to an old-fashioned pastry shop that's been open for over ten years."

"As for the breakfast shop, it was purely by chance. The most popular one must have the best taste, so I chose that one."

"As for whether it's Wang's or Li's, that's utter nonsense. There are so many companies with the surname Wang, how do you know it hasn't changed owners?"

Jiang Yu was so angry at his shameless words that her face turned dark: "What are you pretending for? You've practically scrubbed the table raw. Don't think I don't know that your OCD kicks in when you're nervous."

Shen Chengyan abruptly stopped what he was doing.

Jiang Yu said angrily, "Speak!"

Shen Chengyan threw the tissues he had used to wipe the table into the trash can and said calmly, "It's all your conjecture."

damn it.

Jiang Yu was furious.

She was completely helpless against this saw-mouthed gourd, and in her anger, she lay down on her back, half-dead, and said, "Go to hell, really."

Shen Chengyan was amused by her appearance: "Behave yourself, don't get the sheets dirty again, you're unwilling to pay for it."

When they were dating, Shen Chengyan was away on a business trip once, and Jiang Yu, having nothing to do, said she wanted to go and keep him company.

He initially refused, but she pretended to be angry and said, "We haven't seen each other for almost two weeks. You're so busy every day. How can we cultivate our relationship if I don't find a way to see you?"

So Shen Chengyan asked her to come.

He booked her a room, right next to his.

Jiang Yu was still thinking to himself, "Is this person really Liu Xiahui?"

On her first night at the hotel, her period started. She was already taking traditional Chinese medicine, and her menstrual cramps had improved a lot. So much so that she woke up in the middle of the night to find that she had stained the sheets.

The next day, Shen Chengyan brought her breakfast and saw her washing the sheets. He said it wasn't worth paying extra for it, so she decided to wash them herself.

Her actions left him speechless, and then he felt a little sad.

She grew up stumbling and faltering, always being cautious in everything she did.

He told her to stop washing, and that men work hard to earn money for this very moment.

Jiang Yu rolled over and casually said, "You've spoiled me these past few years, so I'm not as stingy as I used to be."

Shen Chengyan remained silent.

Jiang Yu suddenly looked at him: "How exactly did you hurt your arm? Don't tell me it was from running. Mr. Wei said that the injury on your finger bone is obviously not from a fall."

Mentioning Wei Zongming made Shen Chengyan's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

He didn't know if Jiang Yu really liked him.

He investigated Wei Zongming and found he was quite wealthy.

Jiang Yu said, "Are you going to hide even something like this from me?"

Shen Chengyan pondered for a moment and then told the truth: "It was definitely not a fall that caused the injury."

"How did you get hurt?"

"I was injured accidentally while hitting someone."

"Who are you going to hit?"

Shen Chengyan lifted his eyelids to look at her, "Don't you have anyone in mind?"

"That bald manager?"

Shen Chengyan nodded.

Although he had this idea in his mind for a long time, Jiang Yu still couldn't imagine that someone with his personality would secretly beat someone up to vent his anger.

She remained silent for a long time. "His colleagues at the hotel said you promoted him?"

"Yes."

Jiang Yu suddenly grabbed a sanitary napkin and threw it at him: "You're a lunatic! You're beating him up and promoting him at the same time, are you sick in the head?"

Shen Chengyan was hit all over with sanitary napkins. He frowned and said, "Paying the price is not as simple as firing someone. I don't want to fire him simply. If I want him to disappear from this industry, I have to make him commit a crime. And power is the breeding ground for crime."

His seemingly casual remark sent a chill down Jiang Yu's spine.

So, when he wanted to get rid of someone, he was willing to go to such lengths.

He won't just lose his temper on a whim.

He has exceptional patience, like a top hunter who sets a trap and slowly strangles his prey.

Jiang Yu looked at him blankly: "Since you already have a way to deal with him, why do you still want to beat him up?"

Why?

It's probably because I was too angry.

He wasn't always calm and cautious; whenever something happened to Jiang Yu, he would often lose control of his emotions.

After learning that the bastard had bullied Jiang Yu, he suppressed his anger and called the man into his office. He watched coldly as the man spewed filth and slandered Jiang Yu, already having many ways to make him pay a heavy price.

He promoted the other person and watched him leave smugly.

He only needs to patiently wait for an opportunity to bring the other party to their doom.

But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, to the point of losing his temper. So he changed his clothes, put on a mask and hat, and went looking for them, completely concealing himself.

He can get someone else to do it.

But he wanted to do it himself.

"I didn't notice the tools in his trunk, and he hit me with a wrench," Shen Chengyan said. "It's not serious, I'll be fine soon."

"Aren't you afraid the investigation will find you?"

"I'm not afraid."

"..."

Jiang Yu remained silent for a long time: "We've been married for five years and dated for a year. I thought I knew you very well, but now I realize that I don't know you at all."

Shen Chengyan sat on the sofa by the curtains without speaking, a faint shadow looming over him.

"Do you know why I suddenly made those two phone calls to you?" Jiang Yu said.

"I knew you wouldn't call me for no reason."

"I was planning to go over there and get to the bottom of things, to get all the grievances out of my head."

Shen Chengyan gazed at her silently: "What do you want to ask?"

"I originally wanted to make you choose between Hu Youyue and your mother, or me as your wife," Jiang Yu said slowly. "But when I went to your company, I ran into Xiao Yang."

Shen Chengyan was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had misheard: "Who?"

"Xiao Yang".

Shen Chengyan's mind started racing almost instantly.

He wondered what Xiao Yang knew.

What information could Jiang Yu possibly obtain from Xiao Yang?

He made a judgment very quickly.

Then he calmly asked, "Who is Xiao Yang?"

Jiang Yu wanted to pinch his philtrum: "Get the hell out of here!"

"..." Shen Chengyan seemed to just remember, and said with a sudden realization, "It seems to be a former colleague of mine. What did he and you talk about?"
