Chapter 356: The Younger Sister's Concern

Did you see? Just now, I heard her phone keep ringing, but later she quietly hung it up.

If you hadn't said anything, I really wouldn't have noticed this. What's going on? If there's something, couldn't it be said at home? Why must you go outside?

I'm not sure either, but it seems Jing Shu and Yun Zhe's relationship is really getting worse, and I feel that as a couple they are drifting further apart; what should we do about all this?

Sigh, I really don't want to see this scene, and I believe Dad doesn't want to see it either; if they really have something that splits them up, by then it'll probably be too late to regret.

Who else can we blame? All this is because of Xiao Yunzhe, isn't it?

Sigh, you shouldn't say that; moreover, his mysterious phone call—don't you wonder who it was meant for?

After Xiao Yuchun said that, Xiao Jingrou suddenly froze; right, why hadn't I realized this?

Could it be that there's something else going on with Geng Jing Shu?

You mean Geng Jing Shu is also hiding something from us?

Otherwise, why is this phone call so mysterious? And he just said he was only going to the yard to look for something, but he wasn't there at all—obviously he's deceiving us.

If you say that, it's indeed worth investigating, but we're just baselessly speculating here—who would believe this?

Yes, maybe no one will believe it, but the key is we must get all of this done.

Oh, what do you mean?

I mean, it's better to follow her and see who she's been meeting these two days.

That's not good; if Geng Jing Shu really finds out, wouldn't it just intensify the conflict? Don't forget, they're both in dire straits right now.

Exactly, so neither of us can do this.

Oh, you mean we should get someone else to do it?

Right, we must find someone else, because if we two follow her, we're likely to be discovered; if someone else does it, even if discovered, no one will know who's backing this.

Okay, you handle arranging this, but remember, be careful above all; don't cause family trouble for him because of this—you understand? Dad won't let us off the hook then.

Okay, I get it, and I'm doing all this for the family too. Alright, you go handle the studio work first; the rest, I'll take care of.

After Xiao Jingrou finished speaking, she turned and left the study; watching her go, Xiao Yuchun just let out a long sigh.

What a fine family—how did it become like this today? To be honest, no one would want to accept having come to this point.

Xiao Yunzhe and Wu Pengqing stayed here, busy until it got dark.

After this day, Xiao Yunzhe felt the time really flew by, and it felt like it passed in an instant.

He still remembered that when he first arrived here it was morning, but now, looking back, it's already night.

He stood up from his seat, stretched lazily, glanced at the wall clock—it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Mr. Wu, why don't we go downstairs to get something to eat? If we keep working like this, there'll be no end.

Yes, I know, but the key is I need to finish clearing these reports now; it'll probably take about another hour, then we could finish early—also, I expect we'll work overtime tonight.

That's fine, and I've already decided we definitely need to keep working here; for these three days and three nights, I estimate neither of us will be able to leave the company.

Yes, so we must seize the time; if you're hungry, go downstairs to eat first.

Never mind, I'll wait for you; besides, I still have a few things to finish, after I wrap them up we can leave together, right?

Hey, by the way, if you keep not coming home, shouldn't you let someone know? After all, you're married—otherwise they won't know where you've gone.

Oh, him? Sure, wait; I'll tell him when we have dinner tonight.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Yunzhe finished speaking, they heard a knock at the door, and then both of them suddenly looked inside.

At this time, there shouldn't be anyone else at the company, and Xiao Ming hasn't been in the office all afternoon—no one knows where he went.

So who could this person be?

Here I am, here I am.

Xiao Ming said that, then quickly walked over and opened the door.

The moment he opened it, he suddenly saw that the person standing outside was actually Geng Jing Shu.

Jing Shu, how did you come over?

Hehe, you ask how I came over? You're busy every day, not even going home—haven't you eaten yet? I knew you and Mr. Wu were here; hello, Mr. Wu.

Geng Jing Shu said that and walked straight into the room; at that moment she was holding two insulated buckets, and seeing Mr. Wu, she warmly greeted him.

Oh, Jing Shu's here—just now I was talking with Yun Zhe here, saying I'd have her call you.

Hehe, no need, Mr. Wu—I know Yun Zhe has been busy lately, and I heard from Dad that the company has an important task these days assigned to him; I knew you two surely haven't eaten—look, this is what I made at home for you; come, eat while it's hot.
