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

Jiang Yu felt a little embarrassed when she thought about the volume of her curses.

She didn't want to bother the other party, but after Deng Wen hung up the phone, she called out to her, "You look unfamiliar. Which side are you a guest from?"

Jiang Yu went up to him and said, "Hello, Mr. Deng. I am Mr. Wei's assistant from Jiangcheng."

Deng Wen thought for a moment, vaguely remembered her, chatted with her politely for a few words, and then hurried away.

Jiang Yu returned to the banquet hall and told Wei Zongming about her encounter with Deng Wen.

"She seems easy to talk to. She looks like a strong woman, but she speaks very gently."

Jiang Yu whispered, "Maybe we can reach a cooperation agreement."

Wei Zongming told her, "I can't talk to General Manager Deng. Manager Liu from the Business Department has always been in charge of external negotiations and cooperation."

Jiang Yu said regretfully, "I should have mentioned our relationship in front of her earlier."

"It's okay, let nature take its course."

After returning to the hotel from the event, it was almost 11 p.m. Jiang Yu took a shower and tossed and turned in bed for half the night before finally falling asleep.

She has a problem with being unable to sleep well in a new bed or environment.

The next day at breakfast, Wei Zongming told her, "Manager Liu from Baina sent me a message saying that General Manager Deng wants to invite us to dinner."

Jiang Yu asked in confusion, "Didn't you say it wouldn't be easy to see her?"

Wei Zongming was also surprised: "We'll see how things go then."

Around 7 p.m., Manager Liu sent me the address, which was for a Japanese restaurant.

Wei Zongming took Jiang Yu there, and on the way he asked her, "I heard that President Deng is of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent, so he invited us to eat Japanese food. Do you like Japanese food?"

Jiang Yu: "I have a naturally Chinese stomach."

Wei Zongming smiled and said, "I'm not used to eating raw food either. How about we go for barbecue after our business dinner?"

Jiang Yu burst out laughing.

Last night's birthday party was so grand that the little princess's photos went viral as soon as they were released.

The little princess has an oval face, fair skin, a high nose bridge, and a natural widow's peak.

Many good-looking celebrities have a widow's peak, so men and women with this gene are also very good-looking.

"Being born into the right family is indeed a skill."

"Others wear haute couture at sixteen and have celebrities attend their birthday parties, while I was still eating spicy snacks at sixteen."

"Dare you let me be a rich second-generation in my next life too?"

Jiang Yu spent a long time looking at the photos of the little princess, and then liked each of the comments.

When they arrived at the Japanese restaurant, Deng Wen and the others were already there. After exchanging pleasantries, they sat down to eat and chat.

I only caught a glimpse of her yesterday, but after getting up close today, I can see for myself that Deng Wen also has a widow's peak.

So this kind of thing can be inherited.

The atmosphere was relaxed for the first half of the dinner. Both Wei Zongming and Deng Wen were seasoned business people, and they could easily start a conversation.

As a newbie just starting out in the workplace, Jiang Yu could only obediently act as an NPC on the sidelines, whose main job was to serve drinks and move dishes for the big shots.

However, she didn't know if it was just her imagination, but Deng Wen seemed to be very interested in her.

No matter what she talks about with Wei Zongming, the conversation always manages to steer the conversation back to her.

For example, she asked Wei Zongming, "Mr. Wei, where are you from? Are you married?"

After Wei Zongming answered, Deng Wen naturally shifted the topic to her.

After swallowing the food in her mouth, Jiang Yu thought for a moment before saying, "My hometown is X City, but I live in Jiang City now. I've been married for many years."

Deng Wen smiled and gently asked her how her life was, where her husband was from, and whether he treated her well.

Jiang Yu didn't know how to answer these private questions, but Wei Zongming noticed her predicament and cleverly changed the subject.

Towards the end of the meal, Deng Wen received a phone call and left.

It was almost ten o'clock when Jiang Yu and Wei Zongming came out of the restaurant. The nights in Beijing in September were no longer hot, and a gentle breeze made walking on the street very comfortable.

Wei Zongming must have sensed something was wrong, but he didn't ask anything. He simply asked her, "Are you full? Do you want to go get some barbecue?"

Jiang Yu shook her head: "Let's not eat anymore, it's so late, let's just consider it a diet."

Wei Zongming smiled and asked, "Shall we go back to the hotel?"

Jiang Yu thought for a moment and said, "President Wei, you should go back first. I want to take a walk by myself."

Wei Zongming nodded: "Okay, the security in the capital is pretty good. Just call me if anything happens."

After Jiang Yu thanked him, Wei Zongming left.

The streets were still bustling at 10 p.m. Jiang Yu was not very familiar with the capital city and wandered aimlessly.

Jiang Yu randomly picked a beverage shop that was still open by the roadside and went in to order a milk tea.

While waiting for the food to be served, she took out her phone and took a selfie of her face.

After taking the photos, I opened the album and stared at myself in the pictures for a long time.

Especially the widow's peak right in the middle of her forehead.

She then, almost as if possessed, opened Song Yanxiao's birthday photos and compared the two pictures back and forth.

Halfway through, I felt confused and annoyed, so I closed the album.

The shop assistant said the milk tea was ready, but Jiang Yu lost her appetite for dessert and wanted to drink alcohol instead.

……

Jiang Yu ordered a glass of low-alcohol fruit wine; the bar was at its liveliest near midnight.

She sat at the bar, chin in hand, surrounded by a lively atmosphere, but her mind was in turmoil.

Her mother's name was Fu Ying, and she left when she was two or three years old.

The day Fu Ying left, Jiang Guodong burned all the photos of her in the house.

When Jiang Yu was little, she asked her aunt why other children had mothers but she didn't.

Her aunt touched her face tenderly, unsure how to answer the question.

In the past, when Jiang Guodong was drunk, he would often curse his mother at home, calling her a selfish, cold-hearted woman.

Jiang Yu had heard this many times and had also complained about her mother's heartlessness, wondering why she had abandoned her and gone far away.

When I grew up, I understood why Fu Ying left.

What woman could live with a husband who is addicted to gambling and drinking?

Perhaps leaving is her only way out.

But Fu Ying never came back to see her even once.

In all these years, there hasn't even been a single phone call.

Jiang Guodong had long assumed that his wife had died outside the marriage.

Jiang Yu also wondered if something had happened to her, which was why she had disappeared without a trace.

One is surnamed Deng, and the other is surnamed Fu. They are people who would never associate with each other. How could they be related?

So many people have widow's peaks, it's nothing special.

So what if people have the same face shape? Good-looking people always look very similar.

Jiang Yu convinced herself not to overthink it, finished the last sip of her drink, and planned to return to the hotel.

I went to the restroom before leaving.

When I returned, there were three people in the hallway who appeared to have been in a conflict.

One of them was pinned against the wall by the other two, and the person being pinned down was mumbling something in a cowardly manner.

Jiang Yu kept her head down, not wanting to get involved, but the spineless man suddenly saw her and shouted, "Sister-in-law, save me!"

Jiang Yu: "..."

Your mother, Shen Zhaolin, never calls me when good things happen, but calls me first when something goes wrong.

Jiang Yu turned and ran.

Shen Zhaolin roared angrily, "Sister-in-law, why are you running away? Don't just stand by and watch me die!"
