Chapter 124

~8 min read 1,435 words

"Who said we were divorced?" Shen Xun changed his face immediately. He guessed that Shutong had deceived Gu Zhiyan, but he didn't expose it.

"Lawyer Gu, we have already discussed Shutong's matter, please leave!"

"For Shutong's sake, I know what should be said and how."

"Qiao Chuan." Shen Xun called his assistant.

Gu Zhiyan was invited out.

Gu Zhiyan was displeased with Shen Xun's rudeness and felt it was not worth it for Lin Shutong.

Shen Xun was clearly very concerned about his wife, yet Shutong still wouldn't let go.

She was really being led around by the nose by Shen Xun.

However, Shen Xun's state just now made him suspect that his assistant had checked wrong?

This time the assistant sent a screenshot of the content checked by the system.

The system already showed that the two were divorced, so they must be divorced.

Shen Xun didn't know?

Shen Xun, who had been kept in the dark, only wanted to find Jiang Lai at this moment.

The company's business was solved, and Shutong's matter was also handled. He finally had time to explain to Jiang Lai.

Shen Xun took his coat and left the company, not letting Qiao Chuan follow, and didn't call a driver either.

The car rushed all the way to the Cui residence, and the security guards couldn't stop it, almost calling the police.

In the end, it was Butler Deng who came out and signaled the security guards to leave first.

"President Shen, what are you doing?" Butler Deng no longer had a good face for Shen Xun, "If you want to go to the police station again, don't implicate us in being questioned."

"I just want to see Jiang Lai." Shen Xun got out of the car, his expression anxious, his gaze always looking inside.

"I know Jiang Lai is here. She has nowhere else to go except here."

"Let me see her, I will explain the matter between me and Shutong clearly to her."

"Is there any need to explain the matter between you and Miss Lin?" Butler Deng always blocked him, not letting him get any closer inside, "The fact of your infidelity is right in front of you, no matter how you explain it, you can't turn black into white."

Shen Xun frowned: "I want to see Jiang Lai, there are some things I can only say to her."

Wang Ruohua, who heard the movement, walked out, her gaze sharp: "Is it only to be said to her, or are you ashamed to speak in front of others?"

Shen Xun called respectfully: "Teacher's wife."

"Don't call me teacher's wife, I am Jiang Lai's teacher's wife and have nothing to do with you." Wang Ruohua looked at him angrily, "President Shen, you are really good. You have been deceiving Jiang Lai all these years."

"She used all her money to subsidize household expenses and didn't spend a cent on herself. You, on the other hand, took money to raise a mistress. You gave the mistress cars, money, and houses, but you had to weigh it when giving Jiang Lai an extra thousand."

"The money I sent to Shutong every month was an investment." Shen Xun explained according to the reason he had thought of in advance.

Wang Ruohua laughed: "Investment? Why don't I see you investing in Jiang Lai? Others don't know that Jiang Lai is my old Cui's student, but you know a little bit. As long as you had a little thought about her, you would know how to invest in her!"

Shen Xun was speechless.

He had indeed never thought about investing in Jiang Lai.

Wasn't it good for Jiang Lai not to go to work and be a housewife at home?

"Teacher's wife, I want to see Jiang Lai."

"She is not someone you can see just because you want to." Wang Ruohua said, "Times have changed. You want to see her? Dream on. But in my opinion, you won't even dream of her, you will only dream of Lin Shutong."

Facing the elder's scolding, Shen Xun could only lower his head, not daring to be angry or speak.

He still said the same thing.

"Teacher's wife, let me see Jiang Lai. We have been husband and wife for many years, you should at least give me a chance to turn over a new leaf."

As he looked up, his eyes were red.

Wang Ruohua was unmoved by his repentance and sadness.

"Do you lack a chance to turn over a new leaf? In the four years of your marriage with Jiang Lai, in these four years, if you had thought of Jiang Lai even once, if you had thought of changing even once, you wouldn't have reached today's situation!"

"Everything is your own fault!"

"Don't even think about seeing Jiang Lai."

Shen Xun knew that Wang Ruohua was determined not to let him see Jiang Lai, so he had to shout Jiang Lai's name inside.

He didn't believe Jiang Lai would really avoid him.

Jiang Lai clearly loved him very much.

She had also said that she believed he and Shutong were just friends.

"Butler Deng, notify the security guards to come over." Wang Ruohua couldn't bear it anymore.

Butler Deng called the security guards.

"Jiang Lai!" Shen Xun shouted Jiang Lai's name again, "See me, listen to me explain!"

About to be taken away by the security guards, Shen Xun rushed in and began to look for Jiang Lai's figure everywhere.

Butler Deng followed quickly: "President Shen, this is trespassing!"

Wang Ruohua called Butler Deng: "Let him find her."

Shen Xun opened one door after another; there was no Jiang Lai, still no Jiang Lai.

He kept shouting Jiang Lai's name, the more he shouted, the more anxious and flustered he became.

He couldn't find Jiang Lai.

Suddenly, he pushed open a bedroom and saw familiar clothes on the tree-shaped coat rack.

Shen Xun walked straight in and took the gray hooded sweatshirt; he remembered this was a couple's outfit.

Jiang Lai had shown it to him, and he nodded and said he bought it, but after many years, he had never worn it once.

And Jiang Lai's piece was already pilled, and some places were washed white.

Shen Xun's fingers gripped the clothes tightly and began to look for Jiang Lai in the room.

She wasn't on the balcony, not in the bathroom, and not behind the curtains.

He looked everywhere he could, except the closet.

Shen Xun opened the closet, and inside were dense dresses, all in cool tones; he knew at a glance that they were very suitable for Jiang Lai.

Shen Xun looked at the full closet in a daze; the closet at home was also full, but they were all his clothes, and he didn't know where Jiang Lai was squeezed.

Butler Deng appeared at the door and said coldly: "Please don't touch Jiang Lai's clothes. These were all chosen by the Madam and me for Miss Jiang Lai. President Shen let Miss Jiang Lai wear old clothes for four years, and you wouldn't want others to watch Miss Jiang Lai wear old clothes either."

Shen Xun closed the closet and turned his head: "I will be good to her in the future."

Butler Deng smiled without warmth.

Too late.

Miss Jiang Lai doesn't need you anymore.

"President Shen, since you didn't find anyone, please." Butler Deng issued an eviction order.

Shen Xun didn't believe it and continued to look for people in the Cui residence, even turning the garden around.

Jiang Lai was not there.

He stopped, looked in the direction of Wang Ruohua and Butler Deng, and walked toward them with heavy steps.

"Teacher's wife, please tell me where Jiang Lai is."

"President Shen has the ability to hide people, but doesn't have the ability to find people?" Wang Ruohua turned around and let Butler Deng close the gate.

Shen Xun was isolated outside.

He took a deep breath and took out his phone to call Qiao Chuan: "Help me check where Jiang Lai might live."

Qiao Chuan: "President Shen, with the Madam's current identity, our investigation into the Madam's whereabouts will be warned, and if it is serious, it will even alarm the National Security Bureau."

Shen Xun still hadn't completely reacted to the fact that Jiang Lai had another identity.

An identity he couldn't easily touch.

The woman who used to bend down to hand him shoes now had to be looked up to by him.

But so what?

Jiang Lai was his wife, his wife for the rest of his life.
