“So, you want me to ignore you and take care of the Zhen family first?”
Shen Hanyu looked at her quietly. “That’s what I did before, but you asked me for a divorce. Do you think I’d do the same thing again?”
Sang Qianqian pursed her lips, not knowing how to respond.
Her gaze fell on the few bodyguards outside the window and she felt a little helpless. “But you can’t lock me up here.”
“I can’t trust someone who likes to disappear so easily.”
He replied lightly, “Stay here obediently and tell Xie Shi’an not to do anything useless.”
Sang Qianqian was speechless.
Should she be glad that Shen Hanyu had let her keep her phone? At least she could contact the outside world.
The man had already turned around and was about to leave, but he paused when he reached the door.
“I’m a little busy today. I’ll be back late, so go to bed early.”
When he said this, he sounded so natural, as if they were still living in the small courtyard back then.
Sang Qianqian’s emotions were complicated. “Hanyu, actually…”
“Sang Qianqian.”
He interrupted her. “If you don’t like to hear it, then don’t say anything. Even if you tried, it wouldn’t change anything.”
He didn’t give her a chance to speak and left.
Sang Qianqian sighed silently as she watched his car disappear from her sight.
One of the servants respectfully entered the room, bringing food as she said, “Madam, please eat something first.”
The lunch was sumptuous, and everything was her favorite. It was obvious that Shen Hanyu had arranged this.
Sang Qianqian didn’t have much of an appetite, but she still managed to eat a bowl of rice, some other dishes, and a bowl of soup.
It was already noon, so Xie Shi’an should have arrived at the airport by now.
He must have heard from Yin Shuhui that Shen Hanyu had taken her away.
When Sang Qianqian took out her phone, she saw several missed calls from Xie Shi’an. She hesitated on whether to call back, but she was afraid that Shen Hanyu’s men would hear her and cause trouble.
After thinking for a while, she sent a message to him.
Sheriefly explained her situation. [As for Ruan Xiaodie, you must keep her calm.]
[I will.]
Xie Shi’an quickly replied, [As for Shen Hanyu, did 1 make things difficult for you?]
[How would that be possible?]
Sang Qianqian looked at the dishes on the table and felt a little conflicted. She replied,
[He’s very kind to me.]
[About the baby… Is he not angry?]
Xie Shi’an asked tentatively.
That night, when he told Shen Hanyu the whole story, the latter’s face was so dark that he looked as if he could kill someone.
In the past two months, Shen Hanyu had been looking for Sang Qianqian like a madman. When Xie Shi’an received a call from Yin Shuhui and learned that he had taken her away, he felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.
He was afraid that Shen Hanyu would do something to the child in a fit of anger. It wouldn’t be good to get that sort of outcome.
[He must be angry.]
[Yes, but he’s still quite calm in front of me,] Sang Qianqian said.
She was concerned about more serious matters.
[Shuhui told you my plan, right?]
[She did. I’ll arrange things in advance, so don’t worry.]
Hearing that Shen Hanyu hadn’t done anything, Xie Shi’an was slightly relieved.
After hesitating for a moment, he sent Sang Qianqian another message.
[Qian Qian, you must take good care of yourself and the child.]

Sang Qianqian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but she couldn’t say anything. Xie Shi’an had really misunderstood the situation. He was really thinking the child in her belly was his.
She didn’t reply. A minute later, all the messages disappeared.
The phone and the number were all new. Ruan Xiaodie had asked Xie Shi’an to give this to her, saying that the call was encrypted to prevent eavesdropping. Even the text messages had a self-destruct function.
Sang Qianqian stared at her phone screen and suddenly thought of a question.
That night at the hospital, Xie Shi’an didn’t drink, so he wouldn’t have been unconscious. Why was he so sure that he had intercourse with her?
She knew very well that she didn’t go to him that night. Thus, who was the woman he had sex with?
**
As Shen Hanyu drove away, the indifference between his brows had turned grave.
He had actually thought about Sang Qianqian’s speculation about Ruan Xiaodie regarding Zhen Group.
However, in the past two months, he had been focused on finding her and had no time for anything else.
Li Zhongjin used to be just a pampered and dissolute young master. He had never been interested in his career.
In the past half a year, it was as if he had changed into a different person. First, he followed his father to the Li family’s company to gain experience. Although his ability was not very good, his attitude was commendable.
Not long ago, he had used some unknown method to have Zhen Yishu transfer Zhen Group’s shares under her name to his, successfully entering Zhen Group.
Afterward, he formed cliques and went against Zhen Zhu everywhere. His covetous ambition for the group was already on the surface.
He was so fearless that he simply treated the Zhen family as if they didn’t exist.
Even if Zhen Yiping was seriously ill and recuperating in the hospital, with the Zhen family’s methods, not to mention Li Zhongjin, even ten Li families would be like building a castle in the air. The Zen family could easily destroy the Li family in Beijing.
Li Zhongjin was acting so arrogantly, suppressing Zhen Zhu, and seemed to be determined to win Zhen Group over. Who gave him such confidence?
Shen Hanyu was going to look for Guo Muyang, but the car made a sudden turn and went to Zhen Yiping’s hospital.
After Zhen Yiping’s surgery, he was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital. After all, he had undergone major surgery, so his face was still pale.
The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, and when he sat in the wheelchair and basked in the sunlight, he had a thick blanket draped over his body.
Zhen Yiping was not surprised to see Shen Hanyu. “How is Mother?”
Shen Hanyu frowned slightly. “Who told you that? Li Zhongjin or Aunt?”
Nobody informed Zhen Yiping that Old Lady Zhen was hospitalized from poisoning. They didn’t want him to worry.
Shen Hanyu thought things would stay that way. Zhen Zhu definitely wouldn’t say it, let alone the servants. Other than the Li family, there was probably no one else.
“Yishu called me this morning and said that she made a mistake, asking for my forgiveness.”
Zhen Yiping smiled bitterly. “I called Zhuzhu, but she lied to me that nothing happened. When she heard that Yishu had told me about what happened last night, she immediately became angry and scolded Yishu for being so disrespectful.”
He shook his head gently. “That child’s temper is still so uncontrollable. 1 wonder how much she’ll suffer in the company.”
“Aunt did not do a good job. She knew that you weren’t in good health and that Old Lady Zhen was out of danger. She shouldn’t have called.”
Shen Hanyu’s tone was calm. “I’m sure you already know about the company.”
Zhen Yiping nodded. “The news about the company is all over the internet and television. I’m only hospitalized, not dead.”
How could he not see what was going on?
Shen Hanyu was silent for a moment. “You’re quite patient.”
“Li Zhongjin’s little ability can’t support his ambition.”
Zhen Yiping’s expression was calm. “The bigger fuss he makes, the easier it is for my people to investigate.”
He gently rubbed the wheelchair’s armrest with his right hand and said slowly, “I’m curious who’s behind him..”
