"But she's healthy and may have a child anytime..." Huang Zhishu could not help but worry.
"She may not have enough time in the Bai family for that to happen." Bai Jingrou suddenly smiled mockingly.
"Sister, do you have something planned?" Bai Chenxi asked in curiosity. 𝒇𝑟𝗲𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝚗ovℯ𝑙 - 🅽🅽novel
Bai Jingrou smiled coldly."A few days ago, didn't I send someone to look into Fang Shaohua by targeting his part-time worker, Gao Ru? Guess what I found?"
"Quickly tell me!" Bai Chenxi was extremely interested.
"Fang Xinxin actually had an affair with Fang Shaohua!" Bai Jingrou smiled mockingly."You say, if Bai Qinghao finds out about this, will Fang Xinxin immediately be thrown off the seat of Madam Bai?"
She thought further about this."Doesn't Fang Shaohua have a woman named Sun Jiamu by his side? She's also Fang Xinxin's best friend, isn't she? You say, how will Sun Jiamu react if she finds out that her man slept with Fang Xinxin?"
"Fang Xinxin would then be isolated by both her family and friends." The wrinkles in the corner of Huang Zhishu's eyes deepened with her smile.
"When Fang Xinxin is ruined, I'll comfort her and make use of that opportunity to get into her good books." Bai Chenxi schemed."After that, even if she is useless for dealing with Bai Qinghao, the Jiao Yang Group Finance under her name will become mine..."
Bai Chenxi grinned in excitement, as though he could see the day he would become a wealthy man."Sister, how do you plan on exposing this matter?"
"As usual, I'll make use of someone else's hands."
...
On the twentieth floor of an apartment in Hong Sheng District, Sun Jiamu stood alone on the balcony to take in the view of the city lights. The city was bustling.
Three days ago, she had registered her marriage with Fang Shaohua.
She had believed this would be the beginning of her happy, married life. However, the truth was the exact opposite.
She still remembered when they left the Civil Affairs Bureau with the red booklets in their hands. Her smile had been bright.
Fang Shaohua, however, did not reveal the slightest emotion. It was impossible to tell how he felt.
That night had been their wedding night. As they laid on the bed, she had taken the initiative to embrace him from behind. However, he had responded by saying that he was tired.
He completely had no intention of touching her.
Thus, the two of them slept through the night facing away from each other.
The next morning, Fang Shaohua left on a business trip.
He did not approve of her previous resignation letter.
As his secretary, she naturally understood that the business trip he had left for was not important at all. He could have sent a manager on his behalf.
Yet, he insisted on making the trip himself. When she asked to follow him, he stated that he did not need any help.
It was clear that he was avoiding her.
Sun Jiamu sighed subconsciously. Her mood was low as a bitter sensation spread through her heart.
It turned out that by marrying a man who did not love her, she would end up in a state where she was abandoned by her newly wedded husband.
It had been three days, but Fang Shaohua did not contact her even once.
She even felt that, in comparison, he paid more attention to her when they had just been friends.
Ever since he left, she sent him a message every night before she slept. However, he never replied.
She could not allow things to go on this way.
She brought her phone out and dialled Fang Shaohua's number. It rang for quite some time. Just when she assumed he wouldn't answer the call, Fang Shaohua's low, husky voice could be heard from the other end."Hello..."
She took a deep breath and spoke normally, "Hubby, are you doing alright outside?"
He was silent for a moment. Perhaps, he did not expect her to address him in this manner.
A moment later, he responded lightly."En."
