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

The one named Haozi said with a grin, "How could I dare to scare my sister-in-law? Brother Jie, you've wronged me."

Jiang Yu sat there with a cold face.

The man in the passenger seat turned to look at her. The car was dimly lit, so she couldn't see his face clearly. She could only see that he was wearing black-rimmed glasses and had a slight smile on his lips. He introduced himself: "My surname is Song, and my full name is Song Yanjie. I am Song Yanjia's older brother. I'm sorry to meet you in this way."

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment.

Song Yanjie's eyes, behind his black-rimmed glasses, precisely caught the subtle change in Jiang Yu's face. He revealed a look of sudden realization: "Didn't Song Yanjia tell you his true identity?"

Jiang Yu remained silent.

The man named Haozi grinned and moved closer to Jiang Yu. "Why doesn't your husband tell you anything? We're good guys, you can ask us anything you want to know, and we'll tell you."

Jiang Yu, who had been paying close attention to the road conditions outside the car window, casually replied, "What can you tell me?"

"We can tell you a lot of things. First of all, your husband is not a member of the Shen family."

Jiang Yu said calmly, "I know about this. It's not a secret. You don't need to come and tell me. Brothers, I don't know you. Let me get off the bus."

The car fell silent.

Jiang Yu said with a smile, "My husband is already waiting for me at the restaurant. He'll be worried if I'm late."

The man named Haozi suddenly snatched the bag from Jiang Yu's hand and said, "Do you know that your biological mother is your husband's stepmother?"

This was a bit of a mouthful, and Jiang Yu's confused and tense mind didn't immediately process it: "What?"

"Your biological mother, Ms. Deng Wen, is Song Yanjia's stepmother." Haozi stared at her with great interest. "Of all the women in the world, do you think Song Yanjia married you?"

Jiang Yu asked, stunned, "Why?"

Haozi said mischievously, "Of course it's because he wants to get revenge on you."

Jiang Yu stopped talking.

Seeing that her face seemed paler than before, Haozi became even more excited: "Let me guess, you know your husband isn't from the Shen family, but you don't know he's from the Song family, nor do you know he's related to your biological mother, because he's been lying to you, right?"

"If I wanted to get revenge on someone, I would keep it a secret. Sister-in-law, please don't blame him."

Jiang Yu lowered her eyelashes.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Shen Chengyan had hidden the fact that he wasn't a member of the Shen family.

Because it's something I really can't say.

How can they get married if they tell them?

Are all the things he's hiding because of truths that "cannot be told"?

After a long while, Jiang Yu slowly regained some of her voice: "Shen Chengyan...why did he want to take revenge on me?"

Haozi clenched his fist, mimicking holding a knife, and stabbed Jiang Yu in the stomach. "Because of his own mother, he stabbed your own mother."

Jiang Yu turned to look out the window and suddenly felt that this world was truly fucking messed up.

The car drove all the way to a shopping mall, where they parked and got out.

Only Jiang Yu remained in the car.

They didn't force her to get out of the car. The man named Song Yanjie stood outside the car, slightly bent over, his hand on the roof, looking at the woman inside. "Would you like to come with us for a while, or go back by yourself?"

Jiang Yu looked over in confusion.

After going to such lengths to bring her here, do you think you can just let her leave so easily?

Song Yanjie said, "I think your husband has been hiding a lot from you. If you're interested, you can come in and sit with us. We can tell you anything you want to know."

Seemingly worried that she might not be at ease, he added, "Don't worry, there are surveillance cameras everywhere here. We won't do anything to you, and we have no grudge against you. We won't make things difficult for a woman like you."

Jiang Yu pushed open the car door and got out: "If I say I'm not going, will you really let me leave?"

Song Yanjie gave a helpless smile: "It seems unlikely."

Does she still have a choice?

……

Jiang Yu followed them into a private room and sat down in a corner of the sofa.

After the three men entered the private room, some ordered food, and others sang, seemingly forgetting that she was still there and barely paying any attention to her.

When the drinks and food arrived, Song Yanjie looked at her and said, "Sister-in-law, would you like to join us for a bite?"

Jiang Yu sat there with her arms crossed and said no.

Song Yanjie didn't say anything, and started eating, chatting with her as he ate: "How long have you known Song Yanjia?"

Jiang Yu retorted, "Don't you know?"

Song Yanjie honestly said, "I only found out through someone in the system that you've been married for five years. As for when you met, I really don't know."

It turns out they had already figured it out long ago.

Jiang Yu had nothing to hide: "We dated for a year and were married for five years."

"Why weren't we invited to the wedding?"

"Then you'll have to ask him. We only registered our marriage; we didn't have a wedding ceremony."

Haozi, who was playing billiards nearby, clicked his tongue and said, "Brother Jie, who is he keeping an eye on? Is he afraid we'll find out he's married or something? Does he think we won't give him a wedding gift?"

Jiang Yu lowered her eyes.

Suddenly, she remembered the last time Shen Chengyan went back to her hometown and talked about holding a wedding ceremony.

In that situation, he kept talking about holding a wedding ceremony abroad, and he even said he would take his aunt and Guo Yaoyao abroad for a trip.

So why did he absolutely refuse to hold a wedding in China? Was it because Tang Yun didn't like him, or was there some other reason he was hesitant?

"What is your sister-in-law thinking?"

Song Yanjie's voice pulled Jiang Yu back to reality.

Jiang Yu was silent for a few seconds, then asked him, "Are you and Shen Chengyan brothers?"

Song Yanjie smiled and shook his head: "We're half-siblings, but I'm still used to his surname Song. After all, I've called him that since I was a child."

Jiang Yu asked him again, "Do you have a grudge against Shen Chengyan?"

Song Yanjie sighed: "We had some disagreements when we were young, which is why he has never liked me. But that was just childish nonsense. As the older brother, I really want to make up with him. I wonder if my sister-in-law could act as a mediator and help us arrange a meeting so that we can sit down, shake hands, and make peace."

Jiang Yu didn't answer but asked instead, "What kind of rift?"

Song Yanjie seemed to recall seriously for a moment: "He was quite withdrawn when he was a child. He didn't like to talk to his family and always stayed by himself. One day, he found a kitten outside. The kitten was so dirty, you know? It was covered in fleas and parasites. Our father was quite serious, and I was afraid that he would get scolded by his father for making the house dirty, so I helped him solve the problem."

Jiang Yu felt the hairs on her body stand on end. She already knew the answer without even asking, but she still couldn't help asking, "How did you solve it?"

Song Yanjie smiled and used his fork to pick up a medium-rare steak, putting the bloody piece of meat into his mouth, chewing and tearing as he said, "Back then, I really liked raising snakes. As the older brother, I had to take on the responsibility of an older brother, so I had him take that little kitten to my pet snake and feed it to my snake for lunch."

Jiang Yu suddenly felt a churning in her stomach, and she covered her mouth to prevent herself from vomiting on the spot.

Song Yanjie was lost in his memories, seemingly still feeling a bit nostalgic: "He refused back then, kneeling in front of me and crying as he begged me. Sigh, he's spoiled and has a bad temper. As his older brother, I naturally had to teach him a lesson. So, in front of him, I made him watch as I dissected that beast..."

Jiang Yu could no longer hold back, picked up the trash can on the ground, and vomited violently.
