Chapter 1509: Growing Vigilant

Su Zhiyu's words made Xiao Churan even more embarrassed.

She smoothed the hair at her temples and stammered, "This... I don't know if it counts as an arranged marriage..."

Su Zhiyu couldn't help but say, "You two didn't know each other before you got married, so naturally there was no emotional foundation. Without an emotional foundation, you got married at your grandfather's request. Isn't this a typical arranged marriage? Just like the great writer Lu Xun back then, he and his original wife, Ms. Zhu An, didn't have any feelings either; they got married at the request of Lu Xun's mother."

As she spoke, Su Zhiyu suddenly thought of something and blurted out, "It seems that Mr. Lu Xun and Ms. Zhu An never had a real marriage for their whole lives. Could it be that you two are the same?!"

Facing Su Zhiyu's straightforward words, Xiao Churan appeared even more constrained and embarrassed, saying, "I... I... this... this..."

Xiao Churan's nervousness and constraint made a look of joy suddenly rise in Su Zhiyu's eyes.

She felt that she must have guessed right, which was why Xiao Churan had such an unnatural performance.

If her guess was indeed correct, then Ye Chen and her were just husband and wife in name only.

If that was the case, didn't it mean she had a better chance?

Du Haiqing on the side also saw some clues from Xiao Churan's performance. She also realized that this was an excellent situation for her daughter.

However, she also felt ashamed of her own thoughts. After all, this kind of thing was not glorious, and even a bit despicable.

At this time, Su Zhiyu hurriedly stepped forward, took Xiao Churan's arm familiarly, and asked in a low voice, "Churan, how long have you been married to your husband?"

Xiao Churan said truthfully, "We have been married for four years."

"Four years?" Su Zhiyu asked with feigned surprise, "Then can you tell me how you two have been getting along during these four years of arranged marriage? Are you like friends who respect each other like guests, or do you act in front of people and basically don't interfere with each other behind their backs?"

Xiao Churan was asked by Su Zhiyu to be even more embarrassed, and for a while, she didn't know what to say at all.

But the more embarrassed she was, the more Su Zhiyu was convinced of her guess, so she felt much more relaxed in her heart.

Du Haiqing on the side saw her asking Xiao Churan until her face was red, and hurriedly said to Su Zhiyu, "Zhiyu, stop talking nonsense here. How can you gossip about other people's privacy?"

Su Zhiyu also realized that what she did was indeed inappropriate, and hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, Churan, I'm too gossipy."

Xiao Churan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay."

After finishing, she hurriedly took out her tablet from her bag, opened the sketch she designed, and said to Du Haiqing, "Auntie Du, let's talk about the plan!"

Du Haiqing said smoothly, "Okay, business is more important!"

Su Zhiyu's heart was a little joyful at this time.

All along, she felt that there were too many obstacles between her and Ye Chen, and the possibility was very slim.

Among them, the biggest obstacle was Ye Chen's wife, comparable to Mount Everest, which was difficult to cross.

Secondly, there was Gu Qiuyi, who had a marriage contract with Ye Chen, and maybe Ye Chen had more confidantes she didn't know.

However, the discovery just now gave her a little more confidence in the depths of her heart.

Because the biggest obstacle didn't seem to be as difficult to overcome as she imagined.

This made her feel like she had found a way out.

So, while her mother was talking about the plan with Xiao Churan, she hurriedly walked out of the old house and into the courtyard. Only then did she take out her phone and send a WeChat voice message to Ye Chen: "Benefactor, I didn't expect that you and your wife are in an arranged marriage!"

On this side, Ye Chen left the old city area and was driving to the airport.

On the way, he was still recalling the situation of meeting Du Haiqing and Su Zhiyu just now, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "By comparison, Jin Ling is still small. If it continues to develop like this, the chances of meeting various acquaintances in Jin Ling will be more and more, and more and more people will know his true identity. In the long run, sooner or later, there will be a time when paper cannot wrap fire."

Besides feeling that Jin Ling was a bit small, Ye Chen also felt that more and more people were pouring into Jin Ling from all directions.

Su Zhiyu came, Ito Nanako came, and Gu Qiuyi was coming soon.

It's just that I don't know where these people will go after Gu Qiuyi's concert.

Just when Ye Chen was sighing, he suddenly received a WeChat message from Su Zhiyu. At a glance, he was shocked by the content of the WeChat message.

He looked at the time. He had only left for five minutes. How did Su Zhiyu get these things out of Xiao Churan's mouth so quickly?!

While sighing at Su Zhiyu's shrewdness, he replied to her with a voice message: "What's wrong with an arranged marriage? Although my wife and I are in an arranged marriage, we have a very good relationship."

Su Zhiyu saw that Ye Chen replied with a voice message, so she cautiously put the phone to her ear and listened to the message Ye Chen sent.

Then, she replied in a low voice: "Benefactor, don't lie to me. I guess you and your wife are not only in an arranged marriage, but you two should have never had a real marriage, right?"

Ye Chen didn't expect Su Zhiyu's eyes to be so poisonous, so he avoided talking about it and said, "There is no need to tell you everything about the relationship between the two of us, right?"

Su Zhiyu replied very seriously: "Avoiding talking is a manifestation of a guilty conscience. Moreover, if you two have a good relationship and have had a real marriage after marriage, then you have been married for four years and it is impossible to have no children. So I am sure that you two are in a sham marriage!"

Ye Chen was very helpless about her guess, neither admitting nor refuting, and said lightly, "It's your freedom to guess how you want."

Su Zhiyu immediately sold well and said, "If Benefactor doesn't want me to guess, then I won't guess. Benefactor must not be angry with me."

As she spoke, she didn't wait for Ye Chen to express his position, and hurriedly added: "By the way, Benefactor, I have an appointment with Miss He to meet at Dihao Group at 9:30 this morning to discuss the details of subsequent cooperation. I don't know if Benefactor will come?"

Ye Chen replied: "I have something to do today, so I won't go there. But I have asked Hong Wu to contact Zhiqiu. When you meet Zhiqiu, he should also come over. I have promised to hand over the material supply of the cargo ship and the security work of the terminal to him, so he will also cooperate with you in the future. If you have any requirements or needs, you can mention them directly to him."

Su Zhiyu said: "Okay, Benefactor, I will discuss it in detail with Miss He and Mr. Hong."

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, Benefactor, you wouldn't be going to the airport to pick up Gu Qiuyi today, would you?!"

Ye Chen frowned when he heard this and asked her: "Why do you say that?"

Su Zhiyu said truthfully: "I know that Benefactor has a marriage contract with Gu Qiuyi, and it is said that her family has not given up looking for Benefactor for so many years. Combined with the fact that she suddenly chose the first stop of her tour in Jin Ling, it is basically possible to guess that she must be coming for Benefactor. Since Miss Gu has come from afar, it is reasonable for Benefactor to pick her up at the airport as the host."

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This Su Zhiyu is indeed very smart, even smart enough to make him feel a bit of vigilance against her involuntarily! ===== CHAPTER 1510 =====
