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

But Jiang Yu kept sending messages asking questions, and Xu Xing's phone kept ringing.

She had no choice but to tell him everything she knew: "Sister-in-law, I don't know more than you do, and I only found out because my mother let it slip."

"You know, my second aunt and my eldest aunt have never gotten along. Every time they argue, they go to my mom to complain."

"My mom was caught in the middle and had a hard time, so every time we went back to the old house, she would tell me to behave myself and not cause trouble, especially in front of my second aunt, saying that she was in poor health, had stabbed someone, and had been to jail, etc..."

"My mom didn't mean any harm. She just spoke off the cuff. Later, when I wanted to gossip a bit, she scolded me and told me not to talk about my elders' affairs."

Jiang Yu read the message over and over again.

Stabbing someone?

Did Tang Yun kill someone?

She asked Xu Xing, "Did your mother say what the specific reason was?"

Xu Xing: "No."

Xu Xing: "Didn't your cousin tell you any of this? I thought you knew."

Jiang Yu snorted.

That's a gourd with a saw-off mouth.

It would be a miracle if he said anything at all.

Jiang Yu tossed her phone aside and stared blankly at the ceiling.

She's been receiving so much information these past two days that her brain is almost overwhelmed.

I didn't sleep well at all last night.

One moment I was thinking about how she almost went from being a victim to a perpetrator.

Then she wondered what the old witch's heart condition had to do with her.

She got heart disease, not because of her.

Jiang Yu asked herself that in the past few years, she had always been tolerant and obedient to Tang Yun, and apart from cursing her in her heart when she was really angry, she had never done anything to wrong her.

But Tang Yun just couldn't stand her.

Every time I see her, she looks impatient.

It was as if she were an enemy.

Jiang Yu couldn't understand why Tang Yun was so hostile towards her.

She just married her son; she didn't steal him away.

She was thinking too much, and she even dreamed that Tang Yun was chasing her with a knife, saying she would cut her into eight pieces.

Jiang Yu woke up from her dream in fright, drenched in sweat.

She was both angry and scared, and almost couldn't help but call Tang Yun to mock her for going to jail.

She's a former prisoner.

I don't know what right they have to mock her for not being well-educated and not being good enough for her son.

But the thought of her heart condition made Jiang Yu back down.

It really infuriated her.

He should be charged with manslaughter.

Jiang Yu didn't let this matter bother her for long. After calming down, she got up and took a shower. In the afternoon, she came back energetically after buying groceries and called the Wei family father and son, inviting them to come over for dinner.

"Thank you for picking me up at the train station." Jiang Yu poured juice for the father and son. "Please have some dinner I made myself, don't mind it."

The three of them clinked glasses, and Wei Zongming suddenly asked her, "Are you still looking for a job?"

Jiang Yu thought for a moment and said, "I have to find something to do, otherwise I'll get moldy if I stay at home all day."

Wei Zongming: "Would you like to come to my company?"

Jiang Yu let out an "Ah".

Wei Zongming said, "I happen to need an assistant."

Jiang Yu was a little confused: "I've never done the work of an assistant before."

Wei Ziqian quickly said, "Don't be afraid, Auntie. Even if you don't do any work, my dad will still pay you a salary."

Jiang Yu couldn't help but chuckle: "Auntie is afraid of messing things up."

"You're so smart, you won't mess it up."

"Oh, angel."

Wei Zongming hesitated for a moment: "I'm not entirely sure if you can do it well. Why don't you give it a try first?"

"So casual?" Jiang Yu chuckled.

"Here's what you do: you give it a try first. If you don't do well, you can resign yourself. That way, you'll save face and maintain your dignity."

He realized he wasn't joking.

"Mr. Wei, are you serious?"

"It's a very small thing, don't feel guilty. Even if you don't do a good job, I will only lose a little bit of salary."

Jiang Yu thought to herself, if he, a mere boss, isn't afraid, then what is she afraid of?

So he immediately agreed: "Okay, Mr. Wei."

Wei Zongming chuckled, picked up his water glass and clinked it against hers: "Get ready for tomorrow, report to the company the day after tomorrow, and then come with me on this business trip."

On the day Jiang Yu boarded the plane with Wei Zongming to go to Beijing, Shen Chengyan was having dinner with Hu Youyue.

When Hu Youyue entered the private room, besides Shen Chengyan, his assistant Lin Ce was also there.

Lin Ce gestured for them to proceed: "Miss Hu, the dishes have been ordered."

Hu Youyue sat down nervously.

Shen Chengyan looked down at the iPad in his hand, and only after finishing a report did he look up at her: "I'll get to the point. I called you out today to ask you to move out of the Shen family."

Hu Youyue was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"Thank you for being there for my mom these past three years. With you by her side, she has someone to keep her entertained, and her mood has improved a lot."

Hu Youyue laughed absurdly: "You treat me like a toy to amuse yourself?"

"You put yourself in this situation." Shen Chengyan really couldn't understand. "You didn't rely on your father's connections, and you got into Columbia University on your own merits. Your IQ should be pretty high, right? As long as you stay with my mother, I will be grateful, and the Shen family will be grateful too. We will give you more benefits than you expect. Why do you have to resort to such underhanded tactics?"

Hu Youyue kept her back straight: "Is it wrong for me to like you? Your mother doesn't like Jiang Yu. She keeps telling me that if it weren't for Jiang Yu, I would be the woman standing by your side. I think she's right. Jiang Yu can't compare to me in any way. I think I'm a hundred times better than her in terms of education, family background, temperament, and background."

Shen Chengyan tossed the iPad aside, seemingly amused by the joke, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "The fact that you're not as pretty as her is enough to defeat you, let alone those intangible things."

Hu Youyue is pretty, but she pales in comparison to Jiang Yu's radiant face.

She seemed to be seeing this man for the first time, her eyes filled with disbelief: "You're such a shallow man?"

In her eyes, Shen Chengyan was mature and steady. His intelligence and thinking surpassed that of ordinary men. His calm and composed demeanor was the image of her ideal husband.

But he, like other men, also had such a vulgar side.

"If your love was truly stronger than ever, would my misleading words have led you to this point of divorce?"

"To put it bluntly, there were already problems between you two, and I just brought them to the forefront. The root of the problem lies with yourselves."

Shen Chengyan took out his cigarette case and gently tapped a cigarette on the table.

He slowly brought the cigarette to his lips, lit it, and then smiled, saying, "Do you know what I like about Jiang Yu?"

"I like her aggressive demeanor, I like her fierce look when she hits or curses people."

"I also like her unreasonable, mean-spirited and sarcastic nature."

Even if she only graduated from elementary school, was empty-headed, pretentious, and a useless pretty face, I would still like her.

During the years that Shen Chengyan had been with her, he had already figured out her true personality.

He had seen her resilience and domineering nature, as well as her disheveled state and suffering.

He watched her grow up, stumbling and staggering, enduring the harsh cold and scorching heat like roadside weeds.

So what if she doesn't have a good family background, education, temperament, or cultural background?

He has always loved the real, vibrant person.

No one in this world understands her better than him.

After reuniting with her, Jiang Yu hides her true self from him.

He watched her pretend to be innocent and silly, and watched her act so hard, sometimes finding it both funny and speechless.

Many times I got so angry with her that I wanted to roll my eyes and tell her to stop acting.

But he also had so many secrets that he couldn't reveal.
