There's been a lot of gossip surrounding Jie Lanyuan lately.

Shen Mingzhou clicked on it out of curiosity and the first thing he saw was a photo of passionate kissing inside a car.

The photo was taken secretly.

The night was deep.

Only blurry outlines could be seen, and the facial features of the two people were not clearly visible.

But why does this car in the photo look so familiar?

Shen Mingzhou stared at it for a long time, but because he couldn't see the license plate number, he couldn't tell whose car it was.

He took it as a coincidence, casually gave it a like, then closed the webpage and called Su Wanqing.

Just then, the bell rang outside.

Shen Mingzhou looked up and saw Su Wanqing standing at the door. He stood up and said, "Why are you only coming back so late?"

"I went out to dinner with my mom, we chatted for a bit longer, and then it got late."

Su Wanqing fiddled with her hair to cover the marks on her neck, but the guilt on her face was hard to hide.

They searched the entire hotel but couldn't find the person who took the photos.

Undeterred, she secretly hid in the hotel lobby and kept watch.

Unexpectedly, he ended up meeting Yan Xuxu.

She intended to have someone chase after them and destroy the evidence, but then Xie Lanyuan suddenly appeared.

She had no choice but to give up and leave.

Su Wanqing was extremely flustered.

If it really was Yan Xuxu who secretly filmed it, and she has evidence of her promiscuity, what if it gets to Shen Mingzhou's ears?

Then all her efforts over the years will be ruined.

Now that things have come to this, she has no choice but to take the initiative.

"Ah Zhou, I saw Yan Xuxu go to a hotel and behaving intimately with a man. I suspect she's having an affair."

Shen Mingzhou didn't believe it. "Impossible. You must have mistaken me for someone else. Xuxu wouldn't betray me."

Su Wanqing's story was 30% truth and 70% fabricated: "I really saw it. They were hugging and kissing, and then they went upstairs to book a room."

Shen Mingzhou recalled Yan Xuxu's disheveled appearance when they went to Yushui Bay during the day.

And there was that strange sound, and that man's cell phone.

His face instantly turned bright green. "Who is that man?"

Su Wanqing shook her head, "I didn't see his face, but he was very tall and imposing, and seemed to be of unusual status."

This is unusual...

Shen Mingzhou frantically opened his phone and found the news about Jie Lanyuan again.

A pair of bloodshot eyes stared intently, as if trying to penetrate the screen and see the person in the photo clearly.

Su Wanqing's intention was to smear Yan Xuxu and make Shen Mingzhou hate her.

In this way, even if Yan Xuxu tries something underhanded in the future, Shen Mingzhou will naturally not believe her.

She continued to act diligently. "Think about it, she just moved out on vacation and now she's not coming to the company. There's definitely something wrong with her."

"Do you think that man could be Assistant Mu?"

"They're so close, and Assistant Mu is taking special care of her. Maybe they got together while they were doing business."

Shen Mingzhou's face grew increasingly grim, and his hand holding the phone trembled.

He still refused to believe that Yan Xuxu would betray him, and interrupted sharply, "She just had too much work pressure, so she wanted to go out and relax."

"As for being with Assistant Mu, it's just for work purposes, don't overthink it."

Su Wanqing didn't expect that even after she said all that, Shen Mingzhou still wouldn't believe her.

He even spoke up for Yan Xuxu.

She clenched her fists in frustration, biting her lip in a wronged tone. "I'm your wife on the marriage certificate. Yan Xuxu is nothing to you. You'd rather believe her than me?"

Shen Mingzhou was upset and tugged at his collar. "Xuxu is well-behaved and sensible. She and I grew up together and she has been dutiful since we were together, running business for me."

"She devoted herself entirely to me, and even lent me her maternal grandfather's most important medical book to study."

"Anyone could betray me, but she wouldn't."

Su Wanqing laughed out loud, "She's well-behaved and sensible."

"You two have been childhood sweethearts for over twenty years."

"But in the end, you still ended up with me, and you even got married to her using someone else's identity information."

Shen Mingzhou was breathing heavily, his eyes filled with hostility, his voice full of warning, "I told you to keep this secret to yourself, why are you still bringing it up?"

"Ah Zhou, you wouldn't actually have fallen for Yan Xuxu, would you?"

Su Wanqing's heart skipped a beat.

The puppet she had been holding in her hand seemed to be slowly drifting away from her.

She panicked and hugged him from behind, saying, "You said you only love me, and you're never allowed to fall in love with her."

Shen Mingzhou wasn't in the mood. He coldly brushed her hand away. "I still have some work to do. Go to sleep early. Don't wait for me."

"Do you have work to do, or are you going to see her?"

Su Wanqing hugged her again, saying, "You're my husband, the person you should be with is me."

For the first time, Shen Mingzhou lost his patience to coax her and shook her off again, saying, "You're no different from a jealous shrew right now."

"Calm down first, and we'll talk when you're more composed."

After saying that, he resolutely left.

Watching his disappearing figure, Su Wanqing angrily swept all the ornaments in the entryway to the ground.

……

When Yan Xuxu saw the news, she had just finished showering and was about to lie down. Her face turned pale, and she sat up abruptly in bed.

Fortunately, the photo wasn't very clear.

I couldn't see her face clearly.

The car was also shrouded in darkness, so its license plate number was not revealed.

No one should know her identity.

Yan Xuxu scrolled through the comments section and made sure no one mentioned her name before she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she did discover something very interesting.

Shen Mingzhou liked this news article.

So he probably didn't recognize her.

Otherwise, they would have come knocking on our door long ago.

Lin Huan also called to ask about this.

She knew Xie Lanyuan, and with a little thought, she could immediately think of Yan Xuxu.

Yan Xuxu didn't hide anything, "That's right, it's me."

Although Lin Huan had somewhat expected it, she was still quite surprised. "What exactly is going on between you and Xie Lanyuan?"

Yan Xuxu recounted everything that had happened that night.

Not wanting Lin Huan to worry, she didn't mention the complicated relationship between her and Xie Lanyuan.

Lin Huan, being composed and level-headed, remained calm. "Su Wanqing schemed so hard to become Mrs. Shen, and just when she was about to succeed, she started messing around with other men. What was she after?"

Yan Xuxu recalled the scene and narrowed her eyes, "No matter what she was after, she can't be Mrs. Shen anymore."

Shen Mingzhou has a strong desire for control.

He is also narrow-minded.

I cannot bear betrayal.

Su Wanqing wanted to rise to prominence and become a phoenix, but she was restless and destined to fall from the high platform.

"And what about you?" Lin Huan shifted the topic back to her.

Yan Xuxu understood what she meant, lowered her eyes, and said, "I..."

Lin Huan is meticulous and has a keen eye.

Even if Yan Xuxu didn't say it, she understood some things in her heart.

Out of concern for her friend, she felt compelled to remind her, "The man you registered your marriage with hasn't been identified yet, which is a major hidden danger."

"In addition, Xie Lanyuan has a fiancée."

Yan Xuxu understood what she meant, her fingers unconsciously clenching the bed sheet. "After I finish the surgery on Xie Siyu and get the medical book back, I will keep my distance from him."

Regardless of whether Shen Mohan betrayed her back then.

The error has been made.

There's no going back between them.

Now she just wants to devote herself to research and realize her scientific dream.

I don't want to add to my sadness over relationships anymore.

And then he ended up covered in wounds.

Lin Huan didn't chat much, said goodnight, and hung up the phone.

Yan Xuxu lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling for a long time before turning off the light and going to sleep.

Three o'clock in the morning.

The doorbell kept ringing.

Yan Xuxu was startled awake from her sleep.

I then noticed that the phone screen on my bedside table was flashing incessantly.

When I picked it up, I saw that all the calls were from Shen Mingzhou.

A dozen or so in total.

Thinking back to that news, could it be that he recognized her?
