Zhao Shuyao heard the commotion and quickly walked back, pushing open the door.
Seeing Su Jiamu, her hair stood on end with anger.
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Shuyao walked over and stood in front of the bed, her face cold. "Get out quickly, dogs aren't welcome here!"
Su Jiamu stared fiercely at Zhao Shuyao. "Don't think I don't know about the dirty deeds you two have been up to. You know yourselves, don't make me say it out loud!"
Zhao Shuyao exploded. "Because of you? Su Jiamu, can you be any more shameless? You're so narcissistic. Who do you think you are, that I would target you and release that kind of video to harm you? If it weren't for worrying about Shiyu, I wouldn't even bother going to your wedding. I felt sick just looking at it!"
Zhao Shuyao had a quick temper, and Su Jiamu's words instantly ignited it.
She unleashed a torrent of curses, hitting him head-on.
Jiang Shiyu, worried Zhao Shuyao would damage her throat, tugged at her arm. "Don't stoop to a dog's level!"
Only then did Zhao Shuyao quiet down, glaring fiercely at Su Jiamu. "I don't have the leisure for that. Stop being so self-absorbed and don't bother Shiyu. Shiyu doesn't have time for this. Perhaps it was your own family's staged act. Maybe the child wasn't even yours, and it's a good thing you miscarried..."
"What did you say?!" Su Jiamu seemed to have been stepped on and was furious.
He clenched his fists, looking ready to lash out.
Su Jiamu was a man, after all. Jiang Shiyu worried for Zhao Shuyao. "Alright, stop talking. If you say I did it, then please investigate and present evidence to prove it. If you can prove it, I'll accept it. But you're making baseless accusations and inexplicably blaming me, it's ridiculous!
Zhao Shuyao snorted through her nostrils, scoffing. "Did you hear that? If you heard it, why aren't you leaving?"
"Don't think I can't find evidence, and don't think you've covered your tracks perfectly. When I find the evidence... I will make you pay!"
Su Jiamu threw down his threat and turned to leave.
"Pah, so shameless!" Zhao Shuyao was furious.
She couldn't stand to see Shiyu suffer.
Especially such a great injustice.
Even though Shiyu hadn't said anything, Zhao Shuyao had guessed.
It was likely Murong Xue who had kidnapped her.
She really wanted to ask Su Jiamu how someone who had been kidnapped could harm them?
Jiang Shiyu's heart was calm. She picked up the spoon and continued to drink the chicken soup.
The clear, white ceramic spoon stirred the clear chicken soup.
Su Jiamu was definitely not Ruofeng.
Ruofeng was someone else.
She hadn't expected to mistake someone for five years of her youth.
Who was Ruofeng?
Where should she start looking now?
The world was so vast, and in the boundless sea of people, she had no idea where to begin.
Jiang Shiyu sighed.
"Shiyu, darling, don't be unhappy. It's not worth it to be upset over those two scoundrels."
Seeing Jiang Shiyu's low spirits, Zhao Shuyao tried to cheer her up.
Jiang Shiyu's eyes flashed, and she looked at Zhao Shuyao. "Help me with something..."
Ren Ai Hospital.
Haicheng's best private hospital.
Murong Xue lay on the hospital bed, her eyes swollen, like two walnuts.
Seeing Su Jiamu return, Murong Xue's tears streamed down like broken strings of pearls.
"Jiamu, Jiang Shiyu is too much. How could she do this to me? Our child is gone. You must avenge our child..." The moment she opened her eyes and learned her child was gone, she felt utter despair.
This child was her only bargaining chip.
Fortunately, she had managed to shift the blame onto Jiang Shiyu.
As long as the man believed Jiang Shiyu had caused the death of her unborn child...
"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge our child. Don't be sad..."
Su Jiamu hugged Murong Xue, his eyes full of heartache.
Now that the video was exposed and causing a huge scandal, they were both in the same boat.
If Jiang Shiyu had really done it, he would not show any mercy...
Lingsheng's public relations team handled the situation with incredible speed.
Within half a day, they had blocked all news.
They removed all news published by the media, even issued a statement clarifying the situation and vowing to pursue the rumor-mongers.
In just half a day, the heat of the scandal died down.
Jiang Shiyu was discharged from the hospital for less than two days, and Lingsheng's stock price gradually recovered.
It was so swift, it didn't even give people time to react, as if the major crisis had never happened.
For the past few days, Jiang Shiyu had been waiting for Zhao Shuyao's call.
Her phone rang, and it was Zhao Shuyao.
Jiang Shiyu happily answered, "Did you get any news about the person I asked you to investigate?"
On the other end, Zhao Shuyao was still typing on her keyboard. "I've found some general leads, but I can only confirm that Ruofeng is still in Haicheng, and I have an address..."
Jiang Shiyu's grip on the phone tightened. "An address? What address? Did you find out where Ruofeng lives?"
Zhao Shuyao nodded. "Yes, Ruofeng lives at..."
Zhao Shuyao stated an address, and Jiang Shiyu listened while finding a piece of paper and a pen, then quickly jotted it down.
The address was in the suburbs, and although it was remote, the surrounding environment was very good.
So Ruofeng had been living in this place all along.
Jiang Shiyu's heart surged with excitement and anticipation. She hastily hung up the phone.
Without even changing her clothes, she hailed a taxi to Changning.
The address was located in the suburbs of Haicheng, in Changning. It wasn't exactly remote, but it was still some distance from the city center.
With only a few minutes left before arrival, the car drove into a villa complex. All the houses were in traditional Chinese style, with white walls and green tiles, very beautiful.
She hadn't expected such a neighborhood.
The car stopped, and Jiang Shiyu thanked the driver, paid the fare, and then pushed open the door to get out.
Before her stood an ancient-style building with white walls and green tiles.
It looked no different from the surrounding villas, except that many lush green bamboos were planted at the entrance of this house.
Jiang Shiyu took a deep breath and took out her phone to tidy her appearance.
Although she wasn't wearing makeup, it was their first meeting, and heavy makeup might scare Ruofeng.
After five years, if it weren't for Ruofeng, she might have fallen into despair.
This man was her guiding light.
Jiang Shiyu suppressed her excitement and slowly walked forward, knocking on the villa's main door.
The person who opened the door was a young, delicate man.
"Are you..." Jiang Shiyu thought the man in front of her was Ruofeng.
But he seemed too young.
He looked barely an adult, so how could he be Ruofeng?
"Are you looking for our master? Please wait a moment."
The young man's delicate face blushed upon seeing Jiang Shiyu, then he opened the door wider, inviting Jiang Shiyu in.
Mr. Han?
Is this Ruofeng?
Jiang Shiyu thanked him and entered the house.
What greeted her eyes was a courtyard, with green bamboos planted within. As the wind blew, the lush bamboo leaves rustled.
Jiang Shiyu followed the young man, walking along a pebble path, then through a corridor, arriving at the main hall.
