She had been in the hospital for half a day, with doctors and nurses checking on her. Her condition had improved significantly, though the bruises and red marks on her wrist had not yet faded.
She would be discharged tomorrow.
Jiang Shiyu saw a report about Ling Sheng on television.
The scandal that erupted on Murong Xue's wedding day had greatly impacted the Murong family.
Zhao Shuyao came to the hospital that afternoon, bringing homemade congee and soup.
"Sweetie, who kidnapped you last night? How detestable! Look at my baby, your wrist is all red!"
Zhao Shuyao's eyes were full of concern.
Jiang Shiyu swallowed the soup and said faintly, "It's nothing."
Zhao Shuyao didn't press further. "Fortunately, your husband found you last night... By the way, Shiyu darling, how did you two meet?"
Zhao Shuyao couldn't figure out how Shiyu ended up marrying Murong Cheng.
Even if she didn't know if Che Che was Shiyu's biological son, Murong Cheng was definitely the man who caused Shiyu to give birth to twins five years ago, leading to a difficult labor, severe bleeding, and memory loss!
Murong Cheng had never met Shiyu.
Shiyu definitely didn't know that Murong Cheng was that man.
She had met him, but the memory was too painful to recall, and she couldn't tell Shiyu about it.
Anyone who learned of this memory would find it difficult to accept.
Zhao Shuyao's little head spun rapidly.
"What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Shiyu chuckled at Zhao Shuyao's thoughtful expression.
"I was thinking about Murong Cheng... No, no, that's not what I meant. I have absolutely no interest in Murong Cheng. Although Murong Cheng is indeed handsome and outstanding, he's not my type. I like puppy-like men, not wolf-like ones."
Zhao Shuyao was afraid Jiang Shiyu would misunderstand.
After all, Shiyu's heart needed to be cared for after being cheated on by Su Jiamu.
"I know... We just met and got married naturally. What's wrong? Have you met Murong Cheng before?"
Jiang Shiyu wasn't surprised.
Zhao Shuyao came from a prestigious family, so it was normal for her to have met Murong Cheng in high society circles.
It was just that Jiang Shiyu didn't understand why Zhao Shuyao was reacting so strongly.
It was as if she was hiding something.
Zhao Shuyao felt a chill under Jiang Shiyu's scrutinizing gaze and chuckled, "No, darling, you're overthinking it. Drink your soup quickly before it gets cold!"
Zhao Shuyao handed the chicken soup to Jiang Shiyu.
While Jiang Shiyu was drinking the soup, Zhao Shuyao left the ward, went to the fire escape, and lit a cigarette.
How was she supposed to tell Shiyu?
If she didn't speak, her heart would be tormented.
Not long after Zhao Shuyao left, the ward door was pushed open again.
Someone walked in.
Thinking it was Zhao Shuyao returning, Jiang Shiyu praised, "Your soup is getting better and better..."
There was no response from Zhao Shuyao.
The person stopped by the bedside.
Jiang Shiyu then realized it wasn't Zhao Shuyao.
She put down her spoon and looked up at the man in front of her.
It was Su Jiamu.
His face was grim, almost ashen, with a hint of green.
The dark circles under his eyes were almost falling off.
Jiang Shiyu was slightly startled. "What is it?"
"What is it? Jiang Shiyu, are you playing dumb? Why do you think I'm looking for you?"
Su Jiamu gritted his back teeth, his hands clenched into fists.
Jiang Shiyu frowned. "How would I know why you're looking for me?"
She immediately understood what Su Jiamu wanted to say.
Although she hadn't seen the latter part of the live broadcast last night, she could imagine the reactions of the two main characters.
Since she hadn't played the video, she wasn't worried.
But looking at him now, Su Jiamu clearly regarded her as the mastermind.
Before Su Jiamu could speak, Jiang Shiyu snorted, "Did Murong Xue hint to you that I did it? I'm Murong Cheng's wife now. Logically, you should call me sister-in-law. I'm also part of the Murong family, so why would I do something like this? You're truly incredibly foolish!"
She looked deeply at the man in front of her.
Su Jiamu, was he really not Ruofeng?
If he was, why was he so foolish?
Although it was only through letter exchanges, the man on the other end of the letters was clearly intelligent and sharp.
But after spending five years with Su Jiamu, she became increasingly certain of this suspicion.
"Who else could it be? You and Murong Cheng are married in name only. How would I know if you did it? I know you're jealous of Murong Xue..."
"Stop!" Jiang Shiyu was both angry and amused, her almond-shaped eyes wide. "Su Jiamu, I don't envy a trash can. Don't belittle me to elevate yourself!"
She was so angry she almost laughed at Su Jiamu.
She admitted that at first, she had mistaken Su Jiamu for Ruofeng.
That's why Jiang Shiyu had fallen madly in love with Su Jiamu, unable to extricate herself.
She had even let her emotions cloud her reason and judgment for the sake of their relationship.
From the moment she learned Su Jiamu had cheated, her heart had completely died.
Moreover, Su Jiamu might not even be Ruofeng.
Jealous of Murong Xue?
She actually wanted to thank Murong Xue for helping her get rid of a piece of trash!
"You've always been so stubborn. Since you won't admit it, I can't do anything else. But if this was really your doing, Murong Xue is now in the hospital. She lost her baby, a six-month-old child, just like that. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
If she hadn't been so weak, Jiang Shiyu would have loved to jump up and slap this man.
Her conscience hurt?
"Conscience? You should ask yourself. You cheated, Murong Xue filmed it, but then hackers invaded, and the video was exposed. Murong Xue miscarried. What does that have to do with me?" Jiang Shiyu found the man in front of her increasingly unfamiliar.
She couldn't believe this was the ex-boyfriend she had been with for five years.
"You know better than I do what Zhao Shuyao's major is. She's even more skilled than a hacker. Wouldn't it be easy for you to hack into Murong Xue's laptop? Don't act like you're so innocent. You're not innocent at all, Jiang Shiyu!"
Su Jiamu was enraged.
He was convinced that Jiang Shiyu was behind it.
She hadn't been in the banquet hall last night.
Murong Cheng had also disappeared.
He only discovered this when he reviewed the surveillance footage late last night.
He suspected she was secretly causing trouble behind the scenes!
Thinking of this, a fire burned in his chest.
His voice turned cold.
"Your personality is strong and unforgiving. You showed up at our wedding just to annoy Xiao Xue. I explained to you that I only married her for the Murong family. Why did you have to make everyone unhappy? Are you only happy and satisfied when everything is ruined?!"
Su Jiamu almost shouted, his voice so loud that people in the next room could hear it.
Jiang Shiyu's eardrums felt like they were about to burst.
She bit her lower lip.
She was almost amused to death.
This man simply didn't believe her words.
If he didn't believe her, why bother questioning her?
"You say I did it, fine! Go find evidence, sue me in court. Don't make baseless judgments without proof!"
Jiang Shiyu coughed violently from anger.
