I wish you peace and love

After hearing what Shen Chenfeng said, Shen Jing's gaze instantly turned to him. Jiang Yuan, who was about to go upstairs to call Shen Yunxi to come down for dinner, stopped when she heard the voice and cast a puzzled look in his direction.

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly, seeming to be very confused about what Shen Chenfeng said, and couldn't help but ask, "Son, what do you think about this?"

Shen Chenfeng's face looked particularly serious and earnest. He slowly said, "This morning Xier said she wasn't hungry and wanted to stay in bed for a while, so she didn't eat breakfast. At that time, I thought it was normal for girls to sleep in occasionally, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But who would have thought that after the whole day, she actually locked herself in the room and didn't even go out. This is really too abnormal!

"So, I started to wonder, and I always felt that something was wrong. So, this afternoon, I went to check the surveillance video at the door of our house. Guess what? It turns out that she didn't just come home this morning, but drove back home alone at around 2 a.m. last night!"

After hearing this, Shen Jing was shocked and asked in disbelief: "In the early hours of last night?"

Shen Chenfeng nodded heavily and replied, "Yes, it was around 2 a.m. last night, and he drove back alone."

After Jiang Yuan heard this, a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on her face: "No wonder when I went to your sister's room this morning, I found her sleeping so soundly and deeply! At that time, I thought that this child was just too tired recently and was sleeping there peacefully, but I didn't expect that she didn't wake up at all."

"That's right, I'm not catching up on sleep at all."

"Not only that, she locked herself in her room all day and refused to come out. I always felt that something was wrong."

At this time, Shen Jing fixed his eyes on his son and asked, "What's the problem?"

Shen Chenfeng paused for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth and said, "In my opinion, Yun Xi must have had a quarrel with your good son-in-law, and is in a bad mood."

Hearing this, Shen Jing expressed disbelief: "No way? They are usually so loving and affectionate, how could they suddenly quarrel?"

Jiang Yuan, who was standing by, also nodded in agreement with her husband: "That's right! Besides, hasn't Xi Che already gone abroad? How can he have the time and energy to argue with our Xi'er?"

However, facing his parents' doubts, Shen Chenfeng seemed confident. He explained slowly, "As the saying goes, even teeth and tongue, which are so close, will occasionally fight accidentally, let alone two people who love each other deeply. So, it is inevitable that there will be some friction between them."

Jiang Yuan: "Then why didn't your sister tell me a word when she came back?"

"Xi'er has her own privacy. Besides, she is not a child anymore. Is it necessary to tell her parents everything?"

Finally, Shen Chenfeng added: "If you still don't believe what I said, you can go upstairs and ask Yun Xi in person later to see if it is really as I guessed."

"Okay. Mom will go ask Xi'er now."

Today is the fourth time Jiang Yuan has entered Shen Yunxi's room.

This time Shen Yunxi was no longer lying on the bed. Jiang Yuan had just started to enter the bedroom when she saw her coming out of the bathroom.

She didn't say anything, but looked at Shen Yunxi's face carefully. He looked very bad, with dull eyes, as if he had lost his soul.

The long hair that was originally smooth and beautiful now became messy and casually scattered on the shoulders. The whole person looked lifeless, like a flower destroyed by a storm, fragile and helpless.

Could it be that this miserable appearance was really caused by a quarrel with Xi Che as Chen Feng said?

"Mom." Shen Yunxi was the first to call out when she saw Jiang Yuan come in.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel nervous, and asked with a worried look on her face, "Baby, why do you look so bad?"

When she came in just now, Shen Yunxi had her back to her, so Jiang Yuan didn't see her face at all, she only heard her voice.

However, at this moment, when Jiang Yuan clearly saw Shen Yunxi's haggard face, she was really shocked.

Shen Yunxi was stunned for a moment after hearing her mother's concerned question. It took her two seconds to come back to her senses. She quickly explained, "It's okay, Mom. Maybe I didn't get enough rest last night."

"Didn't sleep well? No way? Xier slept for the whole day, and still didn't sleep well?" Jiang Yuan stared at Shen Yunxi with suspicion, obviously not believing her words.

Thinking that her mother might have noticed something, Shen Yunxi tried to cover up the truth by avoiding the question.

So she said no more, but turned around and walked quickly towards the sofa, and replied casually: "Yeah."

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan naturally refused to give up easily, and walked towards her and asked again: "Baby, are you worried about something?"

Facing her mother's persistent questioning, Shen Yunxi still shook her head firmly and replied softly: "No, I'm just a little tired and want to be alone."

In fact, she didn't really want to hide this from her family, but she really didn't want them to worry about it, so she chose to keep silent for the time being.

"Really not?"

"No."

Although she still refused to admit it, Jiang Yuan could tell that her precious daughter's voice was noticeably weaker when she answered her question the second time.

At this time, Jiang Yuan had walked to the sofa and sat down next to Shen Yun Xier, looking at her, and then asked softly in a very concerned and serious tone, "Did Xier have a fight with Xi Che?"

However, in response to Jiang Yuan's question, Shen Yunxi simply lowered her star-like eyes silently, hiding all her emotions deep in her eyes.

But Jiang Yuan did not give up asking questions just because of Shen Yunxi's silence. Her eyes never left Shen Yunxi's face.

"Xi'er, tell mom if you have anything to say. Don't keep it to yourself."

At the same time, she keenly noticed that when Shen Yunxi heard her question, her long eyelashes trembled slightly like the wings of a frightened butterfly.

Despite this, Shen Yunxi still gritted her teeth stubbornly and refused to tell the truth.

She raised her head, met Jiang Yuan's caring and inquiring eyes, pretended to be calm, and murmured: "No...no! Mom, don't think too much, he and I are fine..."

Jiang Yuan sighed softly and said to Shen Yunxi earnestly, "Silly child, it's okay even if you refuse to admit it now. You rushed home last night, didn't eat today, and locked yourself in your room all day. How could your mother not see it?"

Originally, she didn't want to let everyone know about this, but after Shen Yunxi heard what her mother said, her eyes subconsciously turned red. In the end, she couldn't hide it, "Mom... I did have a fight with him..."

Jiang Yuan felt distressed when she saw her daughter's red eyes. "What's going on? Talk to mom."

Shen Yunxi opened her mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly she thought of what happened last night and felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Tears could no longer be held back, and she cried and spoke incoherently: "Ache...he..."

At this point, Shen Yunxi's voice began to tremble involuntarily, as if every extra word would bring her deeper pain.

Finally, she uttered the last few words in an almost inaudible voice, "There is someone else..."

These last few words, along with her crying, became weaker and weaker, until they were almost completely inaudible.

However, although Shen Yunxi's voice was so low, Jiang Yuan, who had been listening attentively, heard the words clearly and immediately exclaimed: "Xi'er, what did you just say? Xi Che has another woman?"

She was shocked and couldn't believe her ears.

Shen Yunxi nodded while crying.

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly and fell into a brief contemplation.

After a while, she slowly opened her lips and whispered, "This...isn't possible? Xi Che has always been well behaved and is not that kind of person."

"Xi'er, could it be that you made a mistake?"

Although she was full of surprise, she was still very clear about what kind of person her son-in-law was.

At this time, Shen Yunxi's eyes were already blurred with tears, and her voice became trembling and choked due to crying.

She sobbed and told her mother: "Mom, Xier also hopes that this is not true...but that woman...is definitely next to him..."

After hearing this, Jiang Yuan still tried to comfort her daughter, "Even if they are around each other, it doesn't necessarily mean there is a special relationship. Maybe they are just ordinary friends, or employees, or they just work together."

But Shen Yunxi shook her head, tears pouring out like a broken dam, and continued to cry: "But Lu Xiche once told me in person that there was no woman around him. And the most important thing is that the woman at that time actually said to A Che, "Are you here to see me?" and "Why are you ignoring me?" Such intimate words..."

"Did you hear it yourself?"

Shen Yunxi nodded, "Yes, I clearly heard the woman's voice when I was on the video call with him..."

"Maybe it's just a joke between acquaintances?"

"Even if we're acquaintances, there's no need to say this, right? This has already gone beyond the scope of being friends."

Seeing her daughter so sad, Jiang Yuan quickly reached out and held Shen Yunxi's hands tightly, and gently comforted her: "Baby, you may be thinking too much! Xi Che loves you so much, how could he find a new love abroad after only being abroad for a few days?"

She still didn't want to believe that such a good son-in-law would cheat.

"No... They look so familiar, they definitely didn't just meet." The more Shen Yunxi spoke, the more she cried. She continued to endure and speak, "Lu Xiche was lying to me, he was lying to me... They actually knew each other for a long time..."

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan wiped her daughter's tears with heartache.

"What about Xi Che? What did he say?" Shen's mother asked again.

Shen Yunxi sniffed lightly and said aggrievedly, "I asked him to explain to me what was going on, but he told me to wait until he had time. How could I wait that long? So I insisted that he explain everything immediately. Later, he did explain, but he simply emphasized that he had no relationship with that woman and asked me not to misunderstand him."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but frowned, staring at Shen Yunxi's eyes, and asked seriously: "Then baby, so Xi Che explained, but you don't believe what he said, right?"

Shen Yunxi's voice sounded extremely weak, as if she had lost all her strength. She slowly said, "I... can't help but have random thoughts in my mind..."

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan continued to ask: "After all, you still don't want to believe him, right?"

Faced with this sharp question, Shen Yunxi was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth, said only the word "I", and then suddenly paused.

Everything that happened last night came flooding back to her mind. She was really angry at the time, and she was so emotionally impulsive that she didn't calm down and think carefully about the causes and consequences of the whole incident.

Moreover, she completely refused to listen to Lu Xiche's explanation and was convinced that he had betrayed her and cheated on her with someone else.

"What if you heard it? As the saying goes, 'out of sight, out of mind'! If there really is some misunderstanding, and you just believe it so easily, wouldn't that be wronging Xi Che?"

Jiang Yuan's earnest words were like a flash of lightning that pierced Shen Yunxi's chaotic mind, bringing her back to her senses.

She looked at Shen Yunxi seriously, and as an elder, she advised earnestly: "My child, you have to know that the most important thing for a couple to get along is mutual trust.

"Even if the other person really has a new lover, or even does something as heartbreaking as cheating on his wife, we can't just jump to conclusions based on a few words from others! Everything must be based on solid evidence, don't you think? So, instead of locking yourself in the room and secretly feeling sad and crying, you might as well muster up the courage to go out and find out the truth yourself, so that you can give yourself an explanation!"

"Mom," Shen Yunxi looked at her and asked, "You want me to go and confront Lu Xiche, right?"

"Ah."

"Believe what mom said and find out the truth of the matter first."

Shen Yunxi wiped away her tears and fell into deep thought.

What her mother said makes sense, and she should go and verify it clearly.
