At that mont, Gu Nuan opened the room door and spoke, looking at him.
In the hallway, the automatic lights turned on to night mode upon hearing a sound. Under the faint light, Wa Zicong’s current expression was clearly visible.
Gu Nuan couldn’t tell if the ssage he just had soone relay to Chen Jiaming was a lie. So, the things he said before about having other reasons might not be false after all.
These matters were none of her business; after all, they had already separated. His affairs had nothing to do with her, not even those from the past.
Wa Zicong put down the phone from his ear.
Gu Nuan spoke up: "What happened to Chairman Chen’s family?"
Hearing her speak, it was as if he just realized she was standing there. Wa Zicong turned his head to look at her, his expression slightly sorrowful, and said, "Chairman Chen’s mother just passed away. I heard it was due to an accident that happened last night."
Mrs. Chen died?
Gu Nuan’s fingers involuntarily gripped the door fra tightly.
Wa Zicong noticed her clenched hand on the door and naturally had a question: What? Did she know Mrs. Chen?
Yes, she was collaborating with Chen Jiaming, but she had no relationship with Mrs. Chen, right?
Like him, even though he was partners with Chen Jiaming, he had never seen Mrs. Chen, didn’t even know what she looked like. All he knew was that Chen Jiaming seed indifferent to his family matters, hardly ever ntioning them outside. How did she know Mrs. Chen?
A series of questions, seemingly with an answer, flashed through Wa Zicong’s mind, but his face remained expressionless.
Gu Nuan’s tone also softened, raising a question: "Accident? What kind of accident? Did Mrs. Chen suddenly die at ho?"
"Hmm, I don’t know the exact cause. The person who reported the news didn’t say in detail." Wa Zicong spoke while observing her expression.
Gu Nuan’s sharp eyes had already caught his inquisitive gaze and said, "Mrs. Chen has always been healthy. Otherwise, a filial son like Chairman Chen would have gone ho to care for his elderly mother. Perhaps you don’t know, but Chairman Chen joined the Changda board because of his father’s dying wish."
It seed she knew much more about Chen Jiaming than he did, indicating that her relationship with Chen Jiaming was even deeper than his. For so reason, realizing this made him feel a bit envious.
"I didn’t expect you to know Chairman Chen so well."
Why did his words seem to carry a hint of jealousy?
Gu Nuan sneered, "Just business acquaintances. It’s thanks to soone that I know the saying ’know the person, know the face, but not the heart.’ To truly understand soone, you have to know their family and their past; otherwise, it’s hard to say."
These words were definitely directed at him. Wa Zicong, with hands in his pockets, felt slightly disgruntled.
From down the hallway, Miss Zhong Qiaohui suddenly poked her head out from her room and wrinkled her nose at him: "It’s the middle of the night, and you’re wandering in front of a woman’s door. Should we call the police?"
Wa Zicong opened his mouth: "No, I’m just, like her, worried about Chairman Chen—"
"What’s wrong with Chairman Chen?" Zhong Qiaohui asked as she stepped out of her room.
Due to the conversation, their voices naturally grew louder. As a result, everyone upstairs and downstairs knew sothing had happened.
Before long, more precise news arrived, saying that Mrs. Chen was actually killed by Xiao Shulan.
People like Zhang Sanfeng, Zhan Dapeng, and the others couldn’t help but feel surprised and shocked.
What madness overtook Xiao Shulan? No matter what it was, why resort to murder? And why kill Mrs. Chen? Did she have a vendetta against Mrs. Chen or the Chen Family?
