i Qingdai left Songhe Courtyard and headed to Jiangnan Mansion located in the city center.
The top floor of Jiangnan Mansion was a large flat that served as her and Yu Fuce’s marital ho. It was close to Yu Fuce’s workplace, and he would co back a few days each week.
i Qingdai opened the door, and a maid approached her. "Madam, you’re back."
i Qingdai placed her bag on the entryway cabinet and asked, "Where are the clothes that the Mister brought back from the hospital?"
The maid didn’t think much of it and replied, "They’re in the laundry room. The clothes have already been washed, but I didn’t touch the items in the Mister’s pockets. They’re on the countertop in the laundry room."
i Qingdai rushed into the laundry room. On the countertop lay a keychain.
"Yes, this is it."
i Qingdai grabbed the key and went to open the door to the study.
When Yu Fuce was ho, he never allowed her to enter the study or let the maids clean it. When he wasn’t around, the study remained locked.
The study wasn’t large, and an entire wall was lined with a bookshelf filled with books. But i Qingdai knew that Yu Fuce had never been fond of reading since he was a child. The bookshelf was probably for show; he hadn’t touched a single book on it.
She walked over and noticed there was a cabinet beneath the desk, secured with a lock.
i Qingdai fished out the key and tried them one by one.
Finally, she opened the cabinet door.
To her surprise, there was a safe inside.
i Qingdai chuckled bitterly. "Yu Fuce, what secrets are you hiding?"
The safe required a four-digit nurical code. i Qingdai tried 0128.
It opened.
Her husband used that woman’s birthday as the code for everything. i Qingdai was surprised that she wasn’t as jealous as she imagined she would be.
Perhaps she didn’t love him anymore, and therefore didn’t care.
When the safe was opened, besides gold bars and stacks of pristine currency, there were also so valuable pieces of jewelry.
All of them were rare auction items.
He would rather hide them in a safe than give them to her.
There were also contracts, as well as a phone.
The phone had long been out of battery, but there was a charger next to it. i Qingdai plugged the phone in to charge.
She then began to slowly review the contracts one by one.
The one on top was a stock subscription agreent.
Party A: Platinum Entertainnt. Party B: Hong Lei.
i Qingdai recognized Hong Lei; he was one of Yu Fuce’s rowdy drinking buddies. She had seen him at their wedding, an utterly unreliable person.
The agreent indicated that Hong Lei had purchased 21% of Platinum Entertainnt’s shares five years ago, making him the company’s largest shareholder.
i Qingdai flipped to the second contract and was t with the bold title: Equity Proxy Agreent.
Entrusting Party (Party A): Yu Fuce. Trustee (Party B): Hong Lei.
It turned out that the shares Hong Lei purchased from Platinum Entertainnt had actually been funded by Yu Fuce, with Hong Lei holding them on his behalf.
In other words, the apparent majority shareholder of Platinum Entertainnt was Hong Lei, but the actual controlling owner was Yu Fuce.
i Qingdai covered her mouth in disbelief.
After her grandaunt rose to power, she prided herself on having transcended societal classes and considered people as being ranked from high to low. The lowest class, in her eyes, was the entertainnt industry, which harbored an old scandal she accidentally learned about.
When Sang Ziming passed away, her grandaunt successfully beca the mistress of the Yu family, but at the sa ti, Grand Master Yu developed an obsession with a certain actress.
It was said that the actress bore a striking resemblance to Sang Ziming.
Her grandaunt was furious and tortured the actress viciously, resulting in a heated argunt with Grand Master Yu.
Later, the actress mysteriously vanished, and i Qingdai suspected her grandaunt had disposed of her silently.
Her grandaunt had a daughter nad Yu Hongyu. i Qingdai had rarely seen her. According to rumors, Yu Hongyu was actually Grand Master Yu’s illegitimate child with the actress.
Her grandaunt kept the daughter close, claiming her as her own—not out of kindness, but to tornt her. Yu Hongyu was married off before she turned twenty, to the Xiang family as a bride ant to ward off misfortune. She beca a widow soon after, with a ruthless mother-in-law, and lived a life worse than death.
Since then, her grandaunt had developed an intense hatred for actresses. If any male mber of the Yu family dared to get involved with one, she wasn’t beyond breaking their legs.
i Qingdai never imagined that Yu Fuce would dare hide his involvent with an entertainnt company from her grandaunt.
What was his goal? To make money? Or to keep mistresses in the entertainnt industry...
Knowing Yu Fuce’s character, there was no doubt it was the latter.
The safe also contained several property deeds, all for top-tier luxury hos in Jingzhou.
Were these hos purchased by Yu Fuce for that woman?
i Qingdai had a strong intuition that the woman was concealed within Platinum Entertainnt.
She opened the study’s laptop. Yu Fuce truly was foolish—all of his passwords were the sa. Did he love that woman so much?
