Chapter 179: Are You Cheating?

As soon as Qin Shu sat in the car, her phone vibrated; it was a message from Su Tuantuan: "Huahua, congratulations, my great beauty!"

The corners of Qin Shu's lips curled slightly as she sent her a message: "I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow night."

"Okay!"

Su Tuantuan: "I'll bring my husband over for you to see tomorrow."

Having not seen each other for four years, Su Tuantuan still had many things to say to Qin Shu.

In these four years, many things had happened, including her meeting the man she liked, getting married, and having a child.

Su Tuantuan replied with a smile, her heart surging with emotion; she had finally waited for Qin Shu to return, though it was a pity she hadn't been able to attend her wedding.

Three years ago, Su Tuantuan had resigned from Gu Tingyan's company, and Gu Tingyan had not made things difficult for her, letting her go quite readily.

He had given Su Tuantuan a large sum of money, perhaps because she was Qin Shu's only best friend and Gu Tingyan wanted to compensate her.

Su Tuantuan did not take it; she only took the salary she was owed. She would not take a single cent from Gu Tingyan, and leaving Xingchen Entertainment was also because she did not want to work for Gu Tingyan anymore.

Su Tuantuan jumped to another company and began working in public relations.

She married her supervisor.

Outside the window, it was pitch black, and a heavy rain began to fall; the wind blew the curtains, and gusts of cold air rushed in, chilling one to the very marrow of their bones.

Su Tuantuan had just coaxed her child to sleep when the heavy rain started outside.

Su Tuantuan got up to close the curtains and sat on the sofa to send a message to Shen Jin: "When are you coming back?"

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

She placed her phone on the table and got up to open the door.

The door opened, and a man and a woman were standing at the entrance.

Su Tuantuan happily got up and walked over to open the door, only to see Shen Jin, who was drunk to the point of unconsciousness; his handsome face was flushed, and he was leaning against the woman.

The smile on Su Tuantuan's face faded a little.

Seeing that it was Su Tuantuan who opened the door, Su Ling brushed back a strand of hair that had fallen by her temple, her red lips curling slightly as she looked at Su Tuantuan: "You must be the nanny at President Shen's house, right?"

Su Tuantuan's body paused slightly, her expression shifted, and she said calmly: "I am his wife."

The woman was beautiful and glamorous with a great figure; she had a perm with large waves, bright red lips, and was wearing a sexy black lace top paired with black leather pants, revealing a pair of long legs, looking sexy, charming, and alluring.

Su Ling stood at the doorway supporting Shen Jin, her peripheral vision scanning Su Tuantuan obscurely.

When Su Ling was by Shen Jin's side, Su Tuantuan had already retreated behind the scenes; in the second year of their marriage, Su Tuantuan became pregnant, and a year later, she gave birth to a child.

The child was now just one year old and had no one to look after them, so to take care of the child, Su Tuantuan became a full-time housewife at home and rarely went to the company.

This was Su Ling's first time seeing Shen Jin's wife; she did have some looks, but she appeared a bit chubby, and because of giving birth, Su Tuantuan's figure was not as good as it used to be.

She was also losing weight, but she couldn't slim down in a short time; today she was wearing ordinary clothes, and compared to the woman in front of her with exquisite makeup and sexy attire, she indeed looked less refined and a bit slovenly.

Su Ling scanned her up and down with a look of contempt and a haughty posture; it was a pity that compared to her, she was just lacking.

President Shen's wife was not worthy of him.

It was said that she was also an orphan with no background and no status, and she couldn't give him any help at all.

He deserved better.

So what if they were married? Shen Jin was still keeping her tucked away outside.

He had given her a villa worth three million, and the owner on the deed was her.

Su Ling's mouth held a smile, and she looked at Su Tuantuan with a beaming gaze, her voice delicate and sweet: "So it's the Madam; I thought you were the nanny at his house."

Su Ling scanned Su Tuantuan obscurely and chuckled: "I'm really sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

After saying this, she pursed her lips and smiled shyly, but there was not a hint of embarrassment on her face; instead, she carried a touch of provocation.

Su Ling reached out her hand and looked at Su Tuantuan with a beaming smile: "I am Shen Jin's secretary. A-Jin is drunk, so I brought him back."

A-Jin—what an intimate way to call him.

Su Ling chuckled and said: "By the way, my surname is Su."

"My name is Su Ling."

Su Tuantuan paused, her whole body stiffening slightly.

Su Ling...

She seemed to remember Shen Jin's brothers mentioning this name; it was his ex-girlfriend.

Wasn't his ex-girlfriend abroad?

How did she return to the country?

Shen Jin had brought her to the company, but he hadn't told her about this.

Seeing Su Tuantuan's face turn pale, Su Ling curled her lips in a cold smile.

When the Shen family went bankrupt back then, the Su family planned to send their daughter to marry into a powerful family; she had been beautiful since she was a child and held the title of the number one beauty in Beijing.

The Su family had cultivated their daughter from a young age just so she could marry a man of high position and great power.

When the Shen family had not gone bankrupt, they were also in the limelight and were a prominent family in Beijing.

Later, when the Shen family went bankrupt, the Su family was no longer willing to let Su Ling marry Shen Jin and began scouting for a big shot in Beijing for her—the Crown Prince of the Jin family.

Su Ling knew the Su family planned to give her away, so she disregarded the Su family's opposition and ran off with Shen Jin, determined to marry him and go straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.

On the day they were to get the certificate, Shen Jin held her and cried for a long, long time, and in the end, he proposed they break up.

When Su Ling's father found out she wanted to marry Shen Jin, he was furious and sent people to kidnap her and take her abroad.

If it weren't for Su Tuantuan's appearance, she could have been with Shen Jin after returning to the country.

Su Tuantuan did not know when Shen Jin had changed secretaries; he had previously only used male secretaries, saying it was to put Su Tuantuan at ease.

Because of Su Tuantuan's ex-boyfriend, she always felt that all men were bad men; when Shen Jin was pursuing her, she had rejected him several times.

She did not want to date her supervisor, as it made her feel very insecure.

Because excellent and handsome men were never short of women around them.

It was Shen Jin's constant perseverance, sincerity, and the entanglement with her ex-boyfriend Zhou Jinchuan back then that led Su Tuantuan to choose him.

In order to put Su Tuantuan at ease and give her enough sense of security, he changed his secretary, but he didn't tell Su Tuantuan.

Su Tuantuan stood at the doorway, inexplicably feeling uncomfortable being sized up by the woman with a naked, undisguised gaze.

She walked over, took Shen Jin from her hands with a calm expression, looked at Su Ling, and said in a crisp voice, "Thank you for bringing him back so late."

Su Ling inadvertently raised her hand to tuck her hair, her red lips curling slightly: "It's nothing."

"Since the person has been delivered back to you, I will be heading back now."

"You must take good care of our President Shen."

This condescending tone made it seem as if she were the mistress of this house, and Su Tuantuan was merely a nanny hired by her family.

After Su Ling finished speaking, she stepped on her high heels and left lightly, swaying her graceful figure.

Su Tuantuan stood at the doorway supporting Shen Jin; her gaze fell upon the woman's slender figure, then she lowered her head to glance at herself, her eyes dimming slightly.

An invisible sense of inferiority washed over her.

This woman was very young and beautiful, and her figure was also very good.

Once upon a time, Su Tuantuan was also just as radiant, bright, and moving.

A man's low murmur came to her ears: "Tuantuan."

Su Tuantuan came back to her senses, put away the bitter smile on her face, and supported Shen Jin as they walked toward the sofa.

She placed him on the sofa, took off his Italian leather shoes, put on a pair of comfortable slippers for him, and then stood up to take off Shen Jin's suit jacket.

When Su Tuantuan was taking off Shen Jin's suit jacket, her movements paused slightly; her gaze fixed on a certain spot—on the collar of the man's high-end white shirt was a red lipstick mark from another woman.

Su Tuantuan let go of Shen Jin and sat on the sofa, observing him for a long time; she did not believe that Shen Jin would cheat and betray their marriage.

How deeply did Shen Jin love her?

When others bullied her at a banquet, Shen Jin charged straight in and beat them half to death; from the time they met until now, he had always protected Su Tuantuan like a precious treasure.

He said that Su Tuantuan was his little princess.

A knight protecting a princess was his mission.

When he was being retaliated against and encountered a car accident, Shen Jin would also throw himself onto Su Tuantuan without hesitation to block the way for her.

He loved her, loved her so much that he could even give his life to Su Tuantuan.

How could such a man cheat?

Over these years, she had lived in a basement with Shen Jin, eaten instant noodles, and during the early days of founding the company, she had drunk until she suffered a stomach hemorrhage for the sake of socializing, only to be rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment in the middle of the night.

When she came out of the operating room, Shen Jin was holding her hand, his whole body trembling, his eyes red, and the expression on his face shattered as if he were about to cry.

He said with a trembling voice: "Tuantuan, I cannot lose you."

Not long after the company was established, Su Tuantuan became pregnant, and Shen Jin, fearing she would be exhausted, let her step behind the scenes and focus wholeheartedly on being a full-time housewife.

During this time after marriage, Su Tuantuan had managed the home in perfect order, wanting to raise their daughter and focus wholeheartedly on taking care of the child.

She had thought about looking for a job once the child was older, but later she fell ill, started taking medicine and undergoing treatment, and her figure also became obese due to hormonal medication.

The matter of re-entering the company was delayed, and Shen Jin let her rest easy at home as a full-time housewife, also being especially understanding of her hardships.

To put her at ease, he handed over all his salary, and even the secretary by his side was a man.

Shen Jin's mother was in poor health, and Su Tuantuan felt embarrassed to trouble her mother-in-law to look after the child for her; after Shen Xin'er was born, she had raised her single-handedly.

They had lived a long, happy life after marriage, but now, it seemed somewhat precarious.

Su Tuantuan lowered her head and rubbed the lipstick mark that the woman had deliberately left behind.

This was a provocation given to her by that female secretary of Shen Jin's.

Su Tuantuan looked up and observed the man who had passed out drunk on the sofa; he was born with an extremely outstanding appearance, the man's brow bone was sharp and distinct, and he carried an air of cold, noble detachment.

This appearance was very attractive to women.

Su Tuantuan looked at the drunken man in front of her and asked softly: "Shen Jin, did you cheat?"

In this relationship, she had poured out all her efforts and given everything.

She had never had any regrets; when she loved someone, she would pour out everything and give her all.

Shen Jin was also especially gentle and considerate toward her, but why did he have to recruit his ex-girlfriend into his own company?

And he hadn't told her; if Su Ling hadn't suddenly appeared here tonight, how much longer would Shen Jin have kept it from her?
