After five years of a cold marriage, I can no longer hide the child I secretly gave birth to.

"I told you the truth. Mengmeng was born nine months after he left. According to the timeline, most people would assume that you got pregnant with someone else after he left. The timing is just off. I don't know if he would think that way too."

Xu Daikui took a deep breath. "That's probably what they'll think."

Otherwise, given a man's nature, if he were certain that Mengmeng was his child, he would have already rushed up to question her.

Xu Daikui breathed a sigh of relief, but then looked at Shen Jun apologetically, "However, if this happens, Zhou Yanci will be convinced that you are the adulterer who cheated on me, and I'm afraid it will affect your reputation..."

Shen Jun didn't care. "Anyway, he already is in his eyes. I don't care about reputation. You don't need to feel guilty."

"Thanks."

Faced with such a helpless situation, Xu Daikui thought that if it weren't for Shen Jun's repeated help, everything would have been exposed long ago, and her dream would have been snatched away and bullied by Zhou Yanci and Xu Jiaojiao.

She didn't know what else to say besides thank you.

"No need to thank me. If you have any difficulties, you can ask me for help, and it will be free of charge," Shen Jun joked.

Xu Daikui was amused by his lighthearted tone, but she didn't understand why he was so nice to her, and why his family was so overly enthusiastic.

This was the first time in all these years that she had been treated with such importance by her family.

Seeing her smile, Shen Jun seemed to remember something and added, "By the way, I just saw your ex-husband holding a colorful glass jar. Wasn't that yours?"

What?

Xu Daikui sensed something was wrong, got up and rushed into the bedroom, only to find that the star jar she had placed in the cabinet was gone.

Zhou Yanci stole her jar...

A terrifying sense of panic instantly washed over her...

Why now of all times?

Why expose her love now, which she has kept hidden for so many years?

When she hated men the most, and when men refused to divorce her no matter what?

This will seriously disrupt her divorce process...

Seeing that her face had turned pale, Shen Jun quickly pulled her out of the bedroom. "What's wrong? What's in there?"

Xu Daikui, embarrassed to speak, shook her head blankly, "It's nothing important..."

"That's good. I noticed he seemed to care a lot about that jar; he was holding it tightly in his hand the whole time."

Xu Daikui listened, her mind in turmoil...

*

The next day, she got up at six o'clock in the morning.

Last night, after seeing Shen Jun off, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep because of the jar. She took several sleeping pills but they didn't work.

With dark circles under his eyes, Wang Guang dropped Mengmeng off at school in the morning and then invited her to inspect the work at the pet hospital.

The two arrived at the hospital around 9 a.m.

The briefcase Wang Guang carried today contained a stack of documents, mostly detailed information about Li Xuelan, Xu Jiaojiao, and Xu Guodong's family's money laundering, bribery of the former hospital director, and cover-up of medical malpractice.

He wanted to give it to Xu Daikui right now and report it to the police.

But since Xu Daikui was still married, he never dared to fully exploit her.

"Dai Kui, has Zhou Yanci made any move regarding the divorce yet?"

Xu Daikui was tidying up the decorations in her office. When she heard the question, she paused for a moment before replying, "It'll be soon, probably in the next day or two."

"Okay, sure."

He still put his briefcase away.

Let's wait a few more days. They'll have a chance to start over after the divorce.

At this moment, Bai Weiwei knocked on the door and came in, carrying two cups of coffee, which she placed in front of Wang Guang and Xu Daikui.

"Dean, Vice Dean, have some coffee."

"Thank you, Xiaobai."

Wang Guang politely accepted the coffee and lowered his head to drink it.

Ever since Xu Daikui learned that she was a mistress, she has lost all affection for her.

She didn't even glance at her, only giving a curt "hmm" before falling silent.

Bai Weiwei didn't notice Xu Daikui's unusual behavior, but her attempt to curry favor with her was quite obvious.

Seeing Xu Daikui busy arranging the ornaments, she took a towel and wiped her table.

"Vice Dean, let me help you."

She appeared to be working diligently, but her eyes were secretly sizing up Xu Daikui and Wang Guang.

She had to find an opportunity as soon as possible to get the two of them to sleep together.

The atmosphere was quiet. After about ten minutes, the head nurse they had hired came in.

"Dean, Vice Dean, the staff have almost all gathered and are just waiting for you to go and speak."

Although their pet hospital is scheduled to officially open on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, it has already begun trial operations internally.

"Okay, Daisy, let's go."

"Um."

Both were dressed in formal suits and walked out one after the other.

Bai Weiwei put down the towel, intending to follow him out as well, but suddenly her gaze fell on the handbag that Wang Guang had been holding in his arms.

Now that the Pet Home belongs to Xu Jiaojiao, if she can help Xu Jiaojiao get rid of Xu Daikui, this major threat, then she can also become the vice director of the Pet Home. Why should she have to be subservient to others here?

Moreover, as long as she helps Xu Jiaojiao, Xu Jiaojiao will also help Tang Xuan get rid of the child in her belly as soon as possible.

They were finally bound together by shared interests.

Thinking this, she went forward and opened Wang Guang's handbag.

Judging from how much Wang Guang treasured the bag just now, it must contain important internal documents from Connoh, and she must make a copy.

However, when she took out the stack of documents, she was instantly dumbfounded.

The above clearly shows the financial transactions of Xu Jiaojiao's family, as well as the patients treated by Li Xuelan, dating back five years. Are they investigating Xu Jiaojiao?

Various thoughts flashed through her mind. She was about to make a copy of the document when suddenly, she heard the sound of leather shoes in the hallway.

She was terrified, quickly threw the documents into the bag, and picked up a towel to continue wiping.

Worried about the document, Wang Guang returned. Upon entering the room, he saw Bai Weiwei still wiping the table.

He glanced at the intact zippered handbag, then breathed a sigh of relief and said casually, "Xiao Bai, everyone's gone to a meeting. What are you still doing here?"

Bai Weiwei's face had turned deathly pale with fright, but she still tried to remain calm. "I'll go right now."

She immediately lowered her head and walked out of the office.

...

The meeting ended around midnight.

After leaving the hospital, Bai Weiwei immediately called Xu Jiaojiao.

Xu Jiaojiao felt a pang of panic when she heard the transaction records from five years ago.

But she didn't reveal anything to Bai Weiwei.

"Weiwei, I have a plan in mind. You can continue to keep an eye on them for me."

"OK."

After hanging up, she immediately dialed a number.

As Xu Daikui and Wang Guang came out of the hospital, he looked at her and said, "I've booked a Western restaurant. Let's go and have a look."

Ever since he gave her the necklace last time, Xu Daikui knew what he meant.

But she desperately needed information about Xu Jiaojiao's family impersonating her to work, so she didn't really have much of a choice.

"Okay, Dean."

She got into the passenger seat, and the car slowly sped along the asphalt road. She looked at Wang Guang.

"Dean, how's the compilation of information on Xu Jiaojiao's family coming along?"

Wang Guang was smiling, about to say something, when suddenly, a car sped towards him from his left...

It was so fast that it didn't even take a blink of an eye.

Xu Daikui heard a loud bang as the car crashed headfirst into the driver's seat. A pair of large hands protected her head, and flames immediately filled the surrounding area.
