Not long after, Sheng Jianan returned. Tang Yanqi put away the photo album and started reading a parenting guide, pretending nothing had happened.
Perhaps because he had heard so of those words, although Sheng Jianan still looked like nothing was wrong, Tang Yanqi still saw the unease hidden beneath his calm exterior.
"Sothing ca up at the company, I have to go out for a bit."
Tang Yanqi smiled and nodded, "Okay, co back soon."
Sheng Jianan looked at her for two seconds, then turned and left.
Just after Sheng Jianan left, Tang Yanqi also went out. With a photo in her pocket, she headed straight for Zhou Chengze’s place.
Before she reached the door, she saw Zhou Chengze leading Su Weiyi out to the car. Tang Yanqi didn’t follow. Instead, she hid behind a tree, and in that mont, inexplicably, she cald down.
Going directly to ask Zhou Chengze, it’s hard to say whether he’d tell her, and even if he did, the next mont Sheng Jianan would know.
So misunderstandings are best cleared up, but not everything is better once unearthed.
Tang Yanqi took a deep breath and leaned against the tree trunk. After a long mont, she took out her phone from her pocket and found Bai Bing’s number to call: "Bingbing, do you have Lu Qilin’s number?"
Shen Jiyan could help her, but he was also Sheng Jianan’s friend. Searching her mind, the only one Tang Yanqi could think of was Lu Qilin.
He might not be as formidable as the others, but he’s a lawyer, and lawyers often can uncover things others cannot.
After contacting Lu Qilin, Tang Yanqi slowly made her way back.
——
Sheng Family’s old house
Sheng Jianan braked sharply and stopped steadily at the entrance, his presence startled the servants who saw him.
"Young master? You... you’re back?"
Sheng Jianan’s face was stern, "Where is Madam?"
"Madam is upstairs..."
Before the servant finished speaking, Sheng Jianan’s figure had disappeared at the staircase, kicking open the bedroom door and startling the person inside.
Mrs. Sheng was on the balcony connected to the bedroom reading a book. Suddenly hearing such a noise, she hurriedly stood up. Seeing Sheng Jianan, her expression cald slightly but still looked displeased, "Why are you here? What are you losing your mind about now?"
Mrs. Sheng looked at Sheng Jianan coldly. Sheng Jianan shut the door behind him and walked directly up to Mrs. Sheng, "Where is Dad?"
"He went out."
Sheng Jianan said nothing more, his gaze coldly fixed on Mrs. Sheng.
Mrs. Sheng felt a bit uneasy under his gaze, but thinking of previous matters, she raised her chin, "Sheng Jianan, haven’t we run out of things to say to each other? What’s your business here? Has Tang Yanqi co to complain to you again?"
Mrs. Sheng snorted coldly and continued, "I just don’t like her. What’s so special about her? Look at Yaoyao, she’s completely devoted to you. What’s wrong with her? And you? For the sake of so illegitimate daughter, you co back here yelling at your mother. So what if I caused so misunderstanding? Didn’t she cling to you again? Why co here again? Want to fight with ?"
Mrs. Sheng beca more agitated as she spoke, recalling how Sheng Jianan had, upon discovering the misunderstanding she and Shen Yao caused, co back at her furiously. The recollection made her angrier.
"No matter what, I’m still your mother. Don’t I even have the right to choose a daughter-in-law? Yelling at your own mother over a woman, I... I raised you in vain."
