The Ancient Miss Transmigrates into a CEO’s Wife - Chapter 24
Chapter 24
Shen Yin did not doubt this explanation. She did not understand the situation with Heyuan Group either, so it was possible they really were busy.
Xu Xiuhe and Liu Bo understood Liu Bo too well, and gave Liu Bo a sharp look. Liu Bo pretended not to see it. He could not directly say it was because the employees wanted to see the boss’s wife and that was why they took the elevator layer by layer.
“Have you eaten?” Shen Yin was afraid Xu Xiuhe would feel she cared too much about him, so she added, “Zhengzheng is going to come bring you food.”
Xu Xiuhe was busy with meetings that did not open last night in the morning and had not had time to eat yet. He usually ate in the employee cafeteria on the second floor. If he missed meal times, it was takeout ordered by Liu Bo. Now, he really was hungry.
“Not yet.”
Liu Bo said it was his responsibility that he had not yet bought food for the CEO, but actually he was waiting for Xu Xiuhe to praise him, to praise him that not buying food was the right choice. The food his wife and son brought must be more delicious than anything he could buy!
Liu Bo knew well enough to leave and not disturb the family of three.
Shen Yin put the lunchboxes on the coffee table in the lounge and took out the seven dishes one by one. When Xu Xiuhe sat down, he was attracted by the smell of the food.
The food smelled delicious and looked very appetizing. Xu Xiuhe took a bite and became even hungrier.
“Dad, Zhengzheng wants a bite.” Zhengzheng held his little fingers and blinked saying so.
Xu Xiuhe picked up a piece of steamed meat pie for Zhengzheng to take in his hand.
Watching the father and son interact once again reminded Shen Yin of her own father. She had been a child lacking love, now in another world even more lacking in security.
Xu Xiuhe noticed Shen Yin’s gaze and thought something was wrong, asking: “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
“The food is very good, thank you.” What Xu Xiuhe was thinking to himself was that it would be great if he could eat food like this every day.
After a while, when Xu Xiuhe put down his chopsticks when the food was mostly gone, Shen Yin felt it was time to bring up Zhengzheng.
Shen Yin said, “Xu Xiuhe, I want to talk to you about something.”
Xu Xiuhe’s expression gradually froze. The happy feeling from enjoying delicious food disappeared instantly. No one does favors without reason. Shen Yin’s expression was so serious, could it be she wanted a divorce? If she brought it up, how should he respond? Shen Yin had made a fuss about divorce before, but because of the cooperative relationship with the Shen family and Shen Yin’s abnormal mental state, the Shen family and Xu Xiuhe had not agreed.
Now that Shen Yin was normal and getting along well with Zhengzheng, if she brought it up, what should he do?
“Can you trust that person just now to take Zhengzheng for a bit?” Shen Yin asked cautiously.
Xu Xiuhe’s face became even more ugly upon hearing this. Avoiding looking at Zhengzheng, he guessed what she would say almost exactly.
Xu Xiuhe called Liu Bo’s assistant direct line, “Liu Bo, come in for a moment.”
When Liu Bo came in, he found the atmosphere between the two people was not right. Could something have happened that would implicate him? So he carefully asked: “Boss, do you need something?”
Xiuhe looked at Zhengzheng playing on the sofa and said, “Take Zhengzheng to go play for a while. Shen Yin and I need to talk about something.” When he said “the two of us” he looked at Shen Yin.
Liu Bo was shocked that he would get to take the little prince of Heyuan out. He had to hurry out of this place of gossip and properly show off the little prince.
Shen Yin patiently said, “Zhengzheng, go play with this uncle, okay? Mommy and Daddy need to talk.”
Liu Bo picked up Zhengzheng and left Xu Xiuhe’s office.
“Just say whatever you need to say quickly.” Xu Xiuhe’s tone was impatient, afraid to hear something he did not want to hear.T/his chapter is updat𝓮d by n𝒐v(ê(l)biin.co/m
“Don’t get angry when I tell you, okay?”
Xu Xiuhe’s face was almost black.
“Say it!”
“When my mental state was abnormal, Yang Cui contacted me. She promised that if I helped her with something, she would help me get a divorce.”
Xu Xiuhe leaned forward, his expression solemn: “What thing?”
“She wanted me to get rid of Zhengzheng.” Shen Yin was very cautious.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiuhe’s brows furrowed tightly, no longer able to restrain the anger on his face.
“What exactly was the situation when you met her at Blue Mountain Coffee Shop last time?” Xu Xiuhe suppressed his anger with great effort.
Shen Yin thought back to what had happened when she went to Blue Mountain Coffee Shop. She did not expect that Xu Xiuhe would know about it.
“At that time my mental state had just improved a bit. I didn’t really understand why she wanted to see me. It was only then that I realized what she had asked me to do before. I didn’t remember before because of my mental state. I don’t know how she found me. I was afraid if I didn’t agree to her, she would find someone else to make a move against Zhengzheng. I was really wrong before to give her the opportunity. It was my fault that almost harmed Zhengzheng and I’m so sorry to you and Aunt Song.”
Shen Yin had a sincere expression, not seeming to be lying. Xu Xiuhe stared straight at Shen Yin’s face.
“Does anyone else know about this matter?”
“I don’t know if others knew before. The day before yesterday when my brother and parents came to see me, I mentioned it to them and asked them to keep an eye on Yang Cui. No one else knows.” Shen Yin truthfully answered Xu Xiuhe’s question.
Xu Xiuhe did not speak for the moment, pondering deeply before making a call out.
“Hello, Chen Siming. Help me with something. Find someone to investigate Yang Cui for me and monitor her whereabouts. Report anything to me.”
Although Chen Siming also had a good relationship with Xu Xiuhe, it was not as close as the one between Chang Zhiyuan and Xue Jingrui. Of course Chen Siming would agree to help with Xu Xiuhe’s request, after all his own business also relied on Xu Xiuhe!
After dealing with this matter, Xu Xiuhe asked, “Anything else you want to say?”
Shen Yin felt there was nothing else, but then remembered that Shu Yi was coming tomorrow. Since she was not the mistress of the house, it was necessary to let Xu Xiuhe know.
“There’s one more thing.” When she said this, Xu Xiuhe’s heart thumped again, nervous once more. Could it be she wanted a divorce after all?
“Is it okay if Shu Yi comes to the house to find me tomorrow?” Shen Yin’s tone held some tentativeness.
When Xu Xiuhe heard this, he let out a breath, and his hanging heart settled down.
“It’s been hard on you, thanks. For bringing Zhengzheng and making food to bring me too.”
Shen Yin could not bear that. She was currently clinging to Xu Xiuhe’s thigh. She had not found a job yet either. She had better flatter Xu Xiuhe well.
“It’s not hard, not hard. It’s you who leaves early and comes back late from work everyday.”
Xu Xiuhe was not used to this kind of Shen Yin. He felt something was off, suspicion showing on his face.
Shen Yin said, “I’ll go out and see how Zhengzheng is doing.”
“Okay, come back later and I’ll arrange for a car to take you back home. You can drive any of the cars in the underground garage at home.”
Shen Yin gave an embarrassed smile. “I still don’t really know how to drive.”
“I’ll teach you another day.”
After Shen Yin left Xu Xiuhe’s office, she looked around but did not see Liu Bo anywhere.
Besides Xu Xiuhe and Liu Bo, the top floor also had some secretaries and assistants. Those in higher positions had their own independent offices. Those in slightly lower positions were all in the lobby. Shen Yin had already attracted the attention of the assistants in the lobby when she came in. Now coming out, many eyes were focused on her.
The anxious Shen Yin looking for her son did not mind at all, and even went up to their desks.
