Jiang Shiyu pushed Jiang Yurou aside and walked past her without looking back.
Bitch! Bitch! Just you wait! She would definitely find out who that man was!
Jiang Yurou stared fiercely at Jiang Shiyu's retreating back.
The words Jiang Shiyu had spoken made her tremble uncontrollably.
She had heard some of these things before.
Jiang Dehai was a live-in son-in-law. Jiang Shiyu's maternal grandfather was a famous entrepreneur. After marrying Jiang Shiyu's mother, he had achieved nothing. It wasn't until Jiang Shiyu's maternal grandfather passed away that Jiang Dehai took control of the company.
Fearing the senior executives in the company were all his grandfather's people, he had been very restrained in the past few years.
After Jiang Shiyu's mother passed away five years ago, Jiang Dehai became more audacious.
It was around that time that she and her mother were also brought to live in the Gu family's large villa.
Jiang Shiyu actually knew all of this.
The will…
She couldn't let Jiang Shiyu get her hands on the will!
When work ended, Jiang Shiyu discussed company matters with Murong Cheng.
"It's quite surprising. They didn't blame me. I thought I would be fired or held responsible. I didn't expect that the higher-ups would be handling everything all day."
Although Murong Cheng didn't say anything, Jiang Shiyu knew he was listening attentively.
After speaking for half a minute, she saw that the man hadn't responded.
"Never mind. It's no use telling you about my company matters. You're just a driver. How could you understand such tedious and complex work?" Jiang Shiyu muttered to herself, rubbing her nose.
Murong Cheng glanced sideways at Jiang Shiyu, a faint, unreadable smile flickering in his eyes.
The matter of the stolen contract was investigated and resolved two days later. A former colleague had resold it to a rival company, and the company's upper management quickly gathered evidence and submitted it to the court.
A heavy weight lifted from Jiang Shiyu's heart. Seeing Fang Yuan packing up to leave work, she impulsively said, "Do you want to come to my place for dinner tonight?"
Fang Yuan's hands paused. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "Sure, where do you live?"
"Jingyuan, it's very close to here."
"Great!" Fang Yuan readily agreed. "I can finally see who this husband of yours is, to have married such an excellent wife!"
Coincidentally, Murong Cheng had something to do today and would be home late. She would have to take a taxi back. By the time dinner was ready, Murong Cheng would probably be back, and she could introduce them.
It was Jiang Shiyu's first time riding in Fang Yuan's car, a pink sports car with excellent performance, stylish, and highly eye-catching.
She had heard from colleagues during this time that Fang Yuan came from a wealthy family; she was a rich young lady.
Fang Yuan drove Jiang Shiyu to the supermarket, where they bought a lot of vegetables and meat.
When they arrived home, Murong Cheng had not yet returned.
Jiang Shiyu went to the balcony to call Murong Cheng. As she turned around after hanging up, she saw Fang Yuan standing behind her.
"That's strange. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but your husband's voice sounds so familiar…"
Fang Yuan murmured, amused by her own thought.
"I must be thinking of him too much. I'm even mistaking a stranger's voice for his!"
Jiang Shiyu also smiled. "How could that be? He's just an ordinary person. How could he be the CEO of Lingsheng? You must be sick, lovesick!"
"Why hasn't your husband come back yet?"
"He's probably busy with something," Jiang Shiyu said, checking her WeChat. She hadn't seen any messages from Murong Cheng saying he was on his way back.
Putting down her phone, she went into the kitchen and cooked. Jiang Shiyu made three dishes and one soup, all home-style cooking.
Even after all the dishes were on the table, Murong Cheng was still nowhere to be seen.
"Forget it, let's not wait for him. We'll eat first. He's probably busy with his boss today." Jiang Shiyu looked at the time, it was already 7:30 PM. Waiting any longer was pointless, so she started eating.
Even after seeing Fang Yuan off, Murong Cheng still hadn't returned.
Murong Cheng seemed very busy these past few days.
Jiang Shiyu cleared the dining table, took a bath, and sat in the living room, working on her laptop. Around 9:30 PM, Murong Cheng finally returned home.
Hearing the electronic door card beep, Jiang Shiyu stopped what she was doing on her phone and looked towards the entrance.
There were dark circles under the man's eyes, clearly indicating he was very tired after a long day of work.
"Are you tired? I've prepared hot water in the bathtub. Go take a bath…"
Jiang Shiyu got up and went to the kitchen to heat the prepared meals in the microwave.
Murong Cheng watched Jiang Shiyu busy herself quietly. A hint of warmth flickered in his usually cold eyes.
By the time Murong Cheng came out of the bathroom, the food was heated. Jiang Shiyu sat beside him, watching him eat.
Even his posture while eating was so elegant.
Even the way he held his chopsticks and chewed his food seemed meticulously designed.
"Did you eat?" Murong Cheng raised an eyebrow.
"No need, I'm full. You eat!"
Watching Murong Cheng eat made her feel full. This was what they called "a feast for the eyes."
Murong Cheng slowly finished the meal Jiang Shiyu had prepared, not leaving a single grain of rice.
Seeing that Murong Cheng had eaten so cleanly, Jiang Shiyu thought he liked these dishes. "If you like them, I'll cook them for you again tomorrow."
Murong Cheng's brow twitched, and he frowned slightly. "No need. We'll go to Cui Jing Xuan tomorrow."
He detested broccoli the most. It was only because she made it that he forced himself to finish it, despite his strong dislike.
Jiang Shiyu stared at Murong Cheng for three seconds. "You don't happen to dislike broccoli, do you? You're so much like a childhood friend I had. He also really disliked broccoli."
"Is that so?" A hint of peculiarity flashed in Murong Cheng's eyes.
"Yes…" Jiang Shiyu yawned as she spoke. Looking at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock. She was very sleepy. "I'm going to bed! You should get some rest too!"
The next day, as Jiang Shiyu arrived at the company, she met Fang Yuan waiting for the elevator downstairs.
"It's a shame I didn't get to see your husband last night. But how do you live in such an expensive neighborhood like Jingyuan? Did your family buy it for you?" Fang Yuan asked with a hint of surprise.
Jiang Shiyu shook her head and smiled, explaining, "It's a house belonging to a friend of my husband's. He said he's going abroad and isn't living here, so he's letting me stay temporarily."
Mentioning the word "family," Jiang Shiyu thought of her grandfather's inheritance and her mother's dowry villa.
Her grandfather must have drawn up a will before his death, but after his passing, Jiang Dehai occupied the property and the company. There must be something fishy going on.
She had to find a way to investigate clearly. Her grandfather's will was still missing.
"By the way, have you heard? The CEO personally handled the confidential document theft case last night. They say it was a complete victory. The company has a legal department, and this is the first time he's personally handled a lawsuit. It's truly strange."
Fang Yuan spoke to Jiang Shiyu with an incredulous tone.
After all, Lingsheng was not a small company; it was a large-scale listed enterprise. Such a lawsuit, although not insignificant, wasn't so major that the CEO needed to personally handle it. It was truly peculiar.
"Perhaps he felt it was troublesome and wanted to resolve it quickly," Jiang Shiyu didn't think too much about it.
