This day.
Apart from pouring out their hearts, Yu Mengzhi and Chen Jinzhao did nothing else.
After leaving Xingdan Mountain, Chen Jinzhao did not ask Yu Mengzhi to see him off. Instead, he drove home alone. Yu Mengzhi sat in the car, looking at herself in the mirror. She now realized that she and Chen Jinzhao were not from the same world.
It was not a world divided by poverty and wealth, but a spiritual world.
With a heavy heart, Yu Mengzhi drove back to the Yu family manor. After getting out of the car, she looked at the grand and magnificent villa and garden. Such a large place could not even accommodate Chen Jinzhao.
It was truly laughable.
With a grim face, she went to the living room and did not see Yu Lingxiao.
Yu Huaixuan snorted, "Grandpa has gone back to his room to rest. If you have anything, look for him tomorrow. Yu Mengzhi, I must warn you, Young Master Qin will be arriving in Jiangnan soon. Please don't cause any trouble during this period."
"You don't need to worry about me," Yu Mengzhi said with a dark face.
"Where is Shen Liangping?"
She asked again.
Yu Huaixuan was rebuffed, and his mood was naturally not good. He only snorted and ignored Yu Mengzhi.
Finally, Yu Botao pointed to the back garden.
Yu Mengzhi went directly to the back garden, leaving the rest of the Yu family bewildered. Yu Botao even mocked, "I don't know what's gotten into this woman, acting like she's been shot."
"Forget it, don't bother with her, bad luck!" Yu Huaixuan said gloomily.
Yu Huaiqing stared meaningfully at Yu Mengzhi's retreating back, vaguely recalling something.
The back garden.
Shen Liangping was smoking in the night.
As Yu Lingxiao's confidant, Shen Liangping held real power and his status was no less than that of Yu Botao and others. Therefore, he also had a place to stay in the Yu family manor.
"Huh? Young Lady, you're looking for me?" Shen Liangping extinguished his cigarette butt.
Yu Mengzhi didn't want to waste time with Shen Liangping and got straight to the point, "Shen Liangping, I have something to ask you, and I hope you will answer truthfully."
Shen Liangping's eyes narrowed. From her tone, he could guess that Yu Mengzhi was here to hold him accountable, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Young Lady, please speak freely."
Yu Mengzhi's gaze instantly became sharp and piercing, "I ask you, on the night Chen Jinzhao came to our house, did you take Chen Jinzhao to Xingdan Mountain and threaten to kill him?"
"And!"
"Was the shooting at Ning Fei's wedding orchestrated by you?"
Shen Liangping's pupils contracted.
How did the Young Lady know about these things?
Of course.
Shen Liangping was not stupid enough to admit these things in front of Yu Mengzhi.
He quickly adjusted his expression and said, "Young Lady, what kind of joke are you playing? Everything I do is at the old master's direct command. The old master is broad-minded, so how could he target a mere Chen Jinzhao?"
"You should stop thinking too much and go back to rest."
Yu Mengzhi rubbed her temples and said with a guilty tone, "That's true. Grandpa wouldn't let Uncle Shen do anything unscrupulous. I guess I was overthinking it."
"Uncle Shen, I'm sorry."
Shen Liangping smiled and said, "Young Lady, you don't have to be like this. I'm just a servant of the Yu family. If you have something to say, just say it."
After chatting about some trivial matters with Shen Liangping, Yu Mengzhi left the back garden.
Shen Liangping watched Yu Mengzhi's retreating back, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He thought to himself that the Young Lady didn't know where she got the news. If she really found out the truth, the Yu family would definitely be in chaos.
Should he tell the old master?
Shen Liangping thought about it but ultimately decided against it.
The old master was critically ill. If he knew about this matter, he would definitely worry. Anyway, the Young Lady had already abandoned her previous thoughts.
At that time.
Back in her room, Yu Mengzhi's eyes turned cold again.
When she suddenly questioned Shen Liangping, his gaze was evasive, and his fingers twitched instinctively.
These were subconscious reactions when lying.
All signs indicated that Chen Jinzhao had not lied to her, and those things were real.
The reason she didn't pursue it further on the spot was that Yu Mengzhi didn't want to alert the enemy. She planned to stabilize Shen Liangping first, and only then could she keep him relaxed and off his guard.
"Grandpa, you've disappointed me this time," Yu Mengzhi murmured.
The next morning.
Chen Jinzhao found a familiar car parked at the entrance of the community. He initially intended to ignore it, but the beauty in the car directly rolled down the window and asked Chen Jinzhao to get in.
"No need to pretend not to see me, I'm not a tigress," Xu Nianqing said.
Chen Jinzhao knew he couldn't pretend any longer and could only brace himself and get into the passenger seat, feigning surprise, "What a coincidence. I didn't see you just now. Do you pass by here on your way to work too?"
Xu Nianqing was speechless, "I came specifically to pick you up for work."
Chen Jinzhao: "..."
This woman was not polite at all.
"I just wanted to see if you and CEO Yu slept together last night." Xu Nianqing's tone seemed a little resentful. Chen Jinzhao broke out in a sweat, "You're mistaken, we just talked about some things."
Xu Nianqing snorted and didn't dwell on the matter.
Chen Jinzhao immediately shut his mouth and dared not say anything more. Xu Nianqing, though seemingly gentle and lovely, was actually a very strong-willed woman at heart, completely opposite to Yu Mengzhi, who seemed strong but was actually very gentle.
Passing by the hospital, Chen Jinzhao remembered something, "Why don't you drop me off here? I can go visit Uncle Mo."
After several days, he didn't know how he was recovering.
Upon seeing Mo Chengkun again, he had recovered significantly, and his complexion had become rosy.
He would be discharged from the hospital soon.
"Uncle Mo, you should rest well. CEO Yu has already said that the medical expenses incurred will be borne by the company." Chen Jinzhao told Mo Chengkun to rest more, but Mo Chengkun was eager to be discharged. He tentatively asked, "Xiao Chen, I heard that you and CEO Yu already..."
Chen Jinzhao waved his hand, "It's all in the past."
Mo Chengkun nodded, seeming to regret it. Then he said, "Xiao Chen, after I'm discharged, I plan to work as a security guard at Ninghai University. I don't know if I can get hired. You'll have to put in a good word for me then."
"Sure, I'll handle this," Chen Jinzhao agreed.
Mo Chengkun then brought up another matter, lowering his voice and saying, "Actually, I'm anxious to be discharged not because I feel bad, but because I think there are bad people in the hospital. Several times, someone was lurking outside my door in the middle of the night. If I hadn't been so alert, I would have been killed by those people."
Chen Jinzhao's eyes narrowed, and a chill emanated from him.
Under his nose, someone actually tried to harm Mo Chengkun?
"And..."
"These past few days, Xiao He has often told me that someone is secretly following her."
"It's my fault for being useless and not being able to protect her."
