"Even if you don't like him, he is still your husband. How can you not let him come on a day like today? It's so disrespectful..."

After Jiang Xiyao finished speaking, she still shook her head in disapproval, and inadvertently glanced at Zhou Jinyu to see his expression.

She didn't believe that even if Zhou Jinyu liked Jiang Wanwan, she would not hold a grudge after finding out that she was not only married but also cheating on her.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xiyao was disappointed. Jiang Wanwan didn't panic at all, as if she had just remembered it, and picked up the phone.

Seeing that there were no missed calls, he nodded as if realizing something and said nonchalantly, "He can't be contacted at all now. I don't know if something has happened to him."

When Zhou Jinyu heard about Jiang Wanwan's husband, she didn't show any surprise or anger. She just nodded and said seriously, "I didn't expect that Brother Long Chen would be absent from such an important banquet today. It's really not right."

It looked like they were talking about tea. Jiang Xiyao, who was also proficient in the tea ceremony, was stunned and her expression became complicated when she looked at Zhou Jinyu.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jinyu, who looked so gentle and ascetic, was actually from the same sect as himself. Jiang Xiyao, who originally wanted to do something else, was silent.

Jiang Xiyao was worried about Long Chen. She hesitated for a while and held up her skirt. "I suddenly realized that there are still some things I haven't finished. Sister Wanwan, you and Mr. Zhou are going to visit the garden, right? Go quickly."

After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the door in an anxious look.

[System 001: "I didn't expect the heroine to be sincere to the hero. I thought she was deliberately trying to make the host unhappy."]

【Jiang Wanwan waved her hand and shrugged nonchalantly: "Maybe the hero and heroine are really attracted to each other."】

Jiang Wanwan looked at Jiang Xiyao's departing figure, with a meaningful smile on her lips. She knew that Long Chen would be contacted, because according to the plot, he had already fallen into the river and was sent to the hospital.

"Jinyu, let's go." Jiang Wanwan turned her head and smiled at Zhou Jinyu.

Zhou Jinyu had already noticed the undercurrents between Jiang Xiyao and Jiang Wanwan, and couldn't help but have more speculations in his mind.

He vaguely felt that the relationship between Jiang Wanwan, Long Chen and Jiang Xiyao seemed a little complicated, and Wanwan's cousin cared too much about her ex-husband.

That’s right, in Zhou Jinyu’s heart, Long Chen has been promoted to ex-husband. After all, he dared to be absent on the day of his grandfather’s birthday party. You have to know that Wanwan cares about the Jiang family’s face the most.

As Jiang Wanwan's husband, his absence on Mr. Jiang's birthday party has explained a lot of problems. I'm afraid that tomorrow's headlines will be about the birthday party of the old chairman of the Jiang family, the whereabouts of Miss Jiang's son-in-law, and whether they have a disagreement in their relationship...

"Yeah." Zhou Jinyu's eyes lingered on Jiang Wanwan for a moment and he nodded, but his ears were slightly red. What a mess he was thinking about. Wanwan hasn't divorced yet.

The three words "divorce" immediately froze my heart, which had just warmed up, and even my ears felt a little cold.

The two walked out of the banquet hall side by side and strolled along the path in the quiet garden.

The sunlight shines on the branches and leaves, casting shadows on the ground, adding a hazy beauty to this unique garden.

Trumpet creepers are entwined on the wall, the flowers fluttering in the wind, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance.

I don't know if it's because I'm nervous or shy.

This was the second time the two were alone together, but it was even more awkward than the first time.

Zhou Jinyu's heart beat rapidly as he glanced at the beautiful profile of the girl standing beside him.

He had an urge to hold her hand immediately, but reason told Zhou Jinyu not to be so reckless.

"Wanwan, I..."

But Zhou Jinyu still couldn't help but reach out to grab Jiang Wanwan, but ended up stopping in mid-air.

Jiang Wanwan noticed something strange about the man next to her and turned her head to look over.

"how?"

"Nothing." Zhou Jinyu quickly shook his head.

Because of his status, education and wavering morals, Zhou Jinyu was told that he could not have any intimate actions that crossed the line while Jiang Wanwan was still single.

"Jinyu, let's..." Jiang Wanwan was just about to say that it was boring here and it would be better to go back to the banquet to eat something.

"Wanwan, I have something to ask you." Zhou Jinyu interrupted Jiang Wanwan.

He didn't dare to look up at her, for fear that she would see through his thoughts.

"What do you want to ask?" Jiang Wanwan raised her eyebrows meaningfully and looked at the gentleman whose shallow eyes clearly showed his thoughts.

"I..." Zhou Jinyu was a little nervous and didn't know how to start.

"that...."

"What?" Seeing him stuttering, Jiang Wanwan turned her head with a smile on her face.

"Wanwan, how is your relationship with Long Chen usually?"

Zhou Jinyu tried hard to suppress the urge to hug Wanwan in his arms and asked tentatively.

Although no intimate actions are allowed, it should be possible to spy on the enemy. The upright Professor Zhou is a little uncertain, and his morals are still wavering.

Jiang Wanwan paused when asked this question. She had never really thought about her feelings towards Long Chen. Maybe she liked him a little but not much.

[System 001: "Host, don't forget your character. Miss is quite self-centered. How could she possibly like anyone other than herself?"]

【Jiang Wanwan: "I know." "Even at the end, 'she' didn't suddenly realize her feelings, but she couldn't accept the gap in status for a while. In addition, the Jiang family fell, her parents and grandfather had accidents, and she was left alone. She suffered from postpartum depression..." "Otherwise, selfish people like us would live better than anyone else."】

From Zhou Jinyu's point of view, Jiang Wanwan did not answer him, but continued to move forward.

Zhou Jinyu sighed inwardly, it seemed like he had crossed the line a bit. Shouldn't he have asked this kind of question? It was his first time to steal someone's girl. Well, Zhou Jinyu felt a little uncomfortable, but still tried hard to pretend that he didn't care and answered.

Feeling the atmosphere become tense, before Zhou Jinyu wanted to change the subject, Jiang Wanwan paused and suddenly said, "A little bit."

Zhou Jinyu frowned slightly and then relaxed. He could see that Jiang Wanwan seemed to have some feelings for Long Chen, but not much.

Just when he was feeling relieved and excited, thinking that he still had a chance to get promoted, the phone rang.

It was Jiang Wanwan’s cell phone, and the lit screen showed “Husband Long Chen”.

Jiang Wanwan looked normal but slightly angry as she pressed the answer button and put it to her ear, "Hello, Long Chen, are you..."

"Hello, are you Miss Jiang Wanwan? I'm from... the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Your husband, Long Chen, fell into the river due to a car accident..."

"We have not found a body after the search, but we have confirmed that he is dead according to the time. Now we need you to come to Juli to collect his remains and confirm his death information...cancel your identity..."

Jiang Wanwan was stunned: "Okay, I got it." Then she agreed without any fluctuation in her tone and hung up the phone, but her hand trembled slightly when she put down the phone.

Zhou Jinyu noticed her abnormality and asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Wanwan?"

"fine."
