Chapter 66 To Begin
That girl is Lin Youyou!
I remember now, it all makes sense!
Xu Huanshan treasured his Buzz Lightyear toy in his drawer and safe, and gave Xu Ziyan the same toy! Lin Youyou brought over facial cleansing wipes she hadn't even bought, and a Japanese brand band-aid on her hand! Xu Huanshan explained Xu Ziyan's memory drawing of fireworks—two U-shapes in the sky—lying that he wanted to make two circles but failed! Xu Huanshan took "Youyou" to inspect the fireworks company, but didn't mention it to her!
All the evidence points to Lin Youyou having problems!
Gu Jia didn't know how she should react; she had never considered this question before.
What was even more unexpected was that Xu Huanshan had hidden the person in the property management company. And right under his nose!
However, there must be evidence for this, otherwise Xu Huanshan might not admit it, and Gu Jia might be overthinking it!
Gu Jia dialed Chen Yu's number, "Teacher Chen, I need help!"
"what's up?"
"I want to investigate someone named Lin Youyou! I suspect there's something going on between her and Huanshan. Can you help me?" Gu Jia had no one else she could trust. Zhong Xiaoqin's character was trustworthy, but Gu Jia didn't trust her abilities. As for Wang Wenwen, her relationship with her was not as close as with Chen Yu.
"...Come to the coffee shop, I'll send you the location." Chen Yu was silent for three seconds, knowing that Gu Jia must have noticed something was amiss.
Jiang Chen was already quite familiar with Chen Yu, and greeted him when he saw him appear. Chen Yu smiled and nodded in response, then went to a quiet spot in the far corner.
A dozen minutes later, Gu Jia appeared at the door. After scanning the room, she spotted Chen Yu's location, walked over slowly, and sat down opposite him.
Chen Yu handed him a glass of water, "Drink some water first, calm yourself down."
"Thank you."
"Don't thank me yet, I just ask that you don't blame me later."
"You know about Lin Youyou?" Gu Jia was very smart and immediately guessed the meaning behind Chen Yu's words.
“That’s right, it all started when you went to the hotel to sell tea…” Chen Yu explained the whole story to Gu Jia, without mentioning Lin Youyou and Xu Huanshan’s experiences in the capital, as he had no way of knowing about those things.
But what Chen Yu recounted about what happened in Shanghai was enough.
"I need evidence. I can't believe your one-sided story!" Actually, Gu Jia believed it, but she needed to see it with her own eyes to put her mind at ease!
Chen Yu raised his hand to check the time. "Let's go. Lin Youyou should be getting off work by now. Let's pick up Xiaoqin and Wenwen first, and then wait for them downstairs at your place."
"Why did you invite Xiaoqin and Wenwen?"
"When the wife is fighting the mistress, how can she not have helpers?" Chen Yu made an inappropriate joke. Gu Jia didn't laugh, and Chen Yu didn't take it to heart.
They picked up Zhong Xiaoqin at their doorstep, who seemed dazed and confused about what had happened. The three then picked up Wang Wenwen, who was at the company handling some business. After Wang Wenwen got in the car, Chen Yu briefly explained what had happened to his two wives. Both of them were indignant, feeling that Lin Youyou had gone too far!
After getting off work, Lin Youyou took a taxi back to the apartment Xu Huanshan had rented for her. The four of them didn't wait in the car for long before Xu Huanshan appeared at the apartment door, glancing back guiltily before entering the building.
"Gu Gu, let's go! I'm going to beat them to a pulp!" Zhong Xiaoqin has a carefree personality, just like a child who never grew up.
Wang Wenwen also got out of the car and waited. Even if she didn't make a move, she wanted to protect Gu Jia and not let her suffer. Chen Yu didn't move. He knew that Gu Jia wouldn't go up. This seemingly strong woman actually still had a last bit of vulnerability! Xu Huanshan was the man she truly loved, and Xu Ziyan was her last support in this life. She was somewhat unsure whether she should leave Xu Huanshan, but at least now she knew that if she went up and caught them in the act, everything would be over.
"Gu Gu, let's go!" Zhong Xiaoqin urged Gu Jia from outside, but when she turned around, she found Gu Jia clutching her seatbelt in pain! "Gu Gu. What's wrong?"
Chen Yu held Zhong Xiaoqin's hand, signaling her not to rush.
After waiting for a while, Gu Jia finally figured some things out and said to Chen Yu, "Teacher Chen, please take me home! Please take care of Xu Ziyan for the day as well!"
Although Zhong Xiaoqin didn't understand why, Chen Yu was there, so she could listen to Chen Yu in everything.
Chen Yu nodded and drove away.
Gu Jia returned to Junyue Mansion, gave the nanny two days off, then called out Xu Ziyan and asked Zhong Xiaoqin to take him away.
Xu Ziyan didn't want to leave and wanted to stay with his mother. The young Xu Ziyan sensed that his mother's emotions were different from usual, and he was a little scared.
Gu Jia wasn't in the mood to comfort Xu Ziyan anymore. With a heavy heart, she picked him up and left him outside, slamming the door shut. The house was empty except for Gu Jia herself, making it feel just like her current mood.
Contrary to what the four people in the car thought, Xu Huanshan didn't actually intend to break up with Lin Youyou again. He had been thinking for a long time but couldn't come up with a way to get Gu Jia to accept it, and the deadline Chen Yu had given him was approaching. Xu Huanshan knew that even if he had several more months or even years, he still wouldn't be able to persuade Gu Jia. Gu Jia's personality dictated that she could never accept Chen Yu's kind of life! Xu Huanshan also realized that his previous thoughts were somewhat ridiculous. Gu Jia was Gu Jia, not someone else; what others could do, Gu Jia might not be able to do.
"Yes, yes, let's break up!"
Lin Youyou was taken aback. "Didn't we agree that the three of us would live together? Why are you saying something like this now?"
"Impossible, Gu Jia would never agree to that. You can leave, I can give you other compensation."
"Do you think I'm after your money?" Lin Youyou asked Xu Huanshan with a smile.
Xu Huanshan had no idea what Lin Youyou wanted from him, but he knew it was right to let her leave! Just as he was about to say something more, his phone lit up. It was a text message from Gu Jia, telling him to hurry home.
Xu Huanshan, unsuspecting, immediately abandoned Lin Youyou and returned to Junyue Mansion.
"Honey, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Gu Jia sat expressionlessly in the chair. "Where did you come from?"
"I just got back from work?"
Gu Jia laughed, "I saw it with my own eyes, Lin Youyou! Where does she live? And how did you get upstairs!"
Xu Huanshan's forced smile gradually disappeared. "I was wrong, wife, you have to believe me! I went there to tell her we were breaking up. I even bought a plane ticket to send her back to the capital!"
"Is Lin Youyou from the capital?"
Xu Huanshan no longer needed to hide anything. "I met her at the Capital Amusement Park project. She was the staff member who was responsible for receiving me."
Gu Jia let out a bitter laugh, "Did it start back then? Did you ever consider Xu Ziyan? Did you ever consider me? Did you ever consider this family?"
"Wife..." Xu Huanshan didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent.
"I'm asking you, how did you two start the first time? Did you drink?" Gu Jia asked again.
At this point, Xu Huanshan's brain was practically shut down. He had no idea why Gu Jia was asking the question, but instinctively felt that admitting he hadn't been drinking wasn't a good idea, so he could only acquiesce.
Gu Jia understood. "You're not even going to come up with an excuse for drunken promiscuity?"
Gu Jia still wanted to salvage the situation, even if it meant using a facade built on lies!
