Disorder in marriage

He hung up as soon as he finished speaking, and Yan Zhi couldn't even get a word in edgewise.

Xia Linglong asked, "Xiao Zhi, are you really going to go on this business trip with him?"

Yan Zhi pursed her lips. "If I don't go along with him, he'll be even less likely to let me see the child."

Xia Linglong was both angry and helpless. "I'm going back to discuss with my senior how to find the child! We can spend more money to hire a private investigator and have someone follow Yan Fei 24/7. I don't believe she can hide the child forever!"

"Okay." Yan Zhi gripped the steering wheel tightly. "But until I find her, I must be a mother she can be proud of!"

She mustered her fighting spirit, and Xia Linglong was also inspired by her.

"Keep it up! I need to earn money too, so I can buy my goddaughter lots and lots of clothes in the future!"

"Um!"

Yan Zhi carried the Chinese medicine prescribed by the doctor back to Xia Linglong's house, packed her luggage quickly, and then took a taxi to the airport.

The doctor said her health problems were caused by her emotional distress.

So whenever she thought of Gu Yunmo, she only regarded him as her boss, colleague, and partner. She would just put on an act and not expect him to have any real feelings for her.

Upon arriving at the airport, Gu Yunmo sat in the VIP waiting room and read a newspaper.

Ji Shanmei sat sideways on the armrest next to him. "Mr. Gu, what does this news mean? What does 'artificial intelligence breaking down barriers and empowering life' mean?"

Gu Yunmo didn't even lift his eyelids. "Go check it out yourself."

Ji Shanmei gently shook his arm, "President Gu, please teach me! I want to improve too!"

Gu Yunmo coldly shook off her hand, "If you have nothing to do, go for a walk outside."

"Then Mr. Gu, will you come with me? The airport is so big, I'm afraid I'll get lost."

Yan Zhi's steps froze instantly, and her newly ignited fighting spirit vanished in an instant.

If she had known she would see this upon arrival, she would have gouged out her own eyes to avoid the annoyance.

Jiang Jin noticed her and respectfully came forward to greet her.

"Good morning, ma'am. Have you not had dinner yet? Would you like me to order you something to eat?"

Yan Zhi stared at Ji Shanmei, "Since she's here too, there's no need for me to go along, right?"

"My wife absolutely has to go. I have some family matters to attend to this time and can't accompany Mr. Gu on his business trip, so I'll have to trouble her to keep him company."

He followed Yan Zhi's gaze and explained, "This time, President Gu is going to conduct an on-site inspection of a piece of land under Old Master Qin's name, which involves accounting issues, so it's necessary for him to bring Manager Ji along."

Yan Zhi asked, puzzled, "Is Ji Shanmei really that important to Gu Yunmo?"

Jiang Jin shook his head. "Madam, I know you don't like Manager Ji. But for President Gu, Manager Ji has been his subordinate for many years, and has been in the team since before he took over the Gu family."

"From Mr. Gu's perspective, it's easy to abandon those of us who have worked hard with him from the very beginning, but it's very difficult to cultivate a new subordinate that Mr. Gu can trust and who can work well with him."

"President Gu is not unaware that Manager Ji sometimes goes too far, but he usually turns a blind eye when things aren't too serious."

After Jiang Jin finished speaking, Yan Zhi felt that she had been away from the workplace for too long.

It's unbelievable that I can't even understand such a simple principle, and instead I'm just making myself angry.

"I understand now. I was bringing my personal emotions into my work."

Jiang Jin smiled and said it was nothing. "I'll still get you something to eat. There won't be any proper meals on the plane later, and it's not good for your health to go hungry."

"Okay, thank you."

She ignored Ji Shanmei and Gu Yunmo over there.

She found a corner spot and waited for her food to be delivered, while she ate a few bites of rice while flipping through the documents she had brought.

So engrossed in her work, she didn't even notice when Gu Yunmo arrived.

"Don't look at anything while eating; you can't do two things at once."

Yan Zhi raised her head and looked at Ji Shanmei not far away, feeling like she wanted to kill her with her eyes.

"Aren't you going to talk to Manager Ji?"

Gu Yunmo sat down beside her. "Why should I talk to her? Is she my wife?"

Yan Zhi didn't think that being called "wife" was any kind of honor. She might have shyly snuggled into his arms before, but now she had no such thoughts at all.

She continued flipping through the folder when Gu Yunmo snatched it away.

What are you doing?

Gu Yunmo remained expressionless. "Eat your food first, then you can look at it."

Yan Zhi refused, "My case is about to go to trial! Give it back to me!"

"Yan Zhi".

Gu Yunmo called her by her full name, his voice eight octaves lower, as if he were scolding a disobedient child.

Eat well.

Yan Zhi paused, really not wanting to waste any more time arguing and bickering with him.

Love is not complicated; he doesn't love her, but she once loved him.

All the harmony we see now is just a facade, a charade, all for the sake of the children.

She didn't want to be jealous anymore, nor did she want to be sad anymore. She decided to pretend that the person in front of her was already dead and was now just a business partner with whom she lived.

She finished eating quickly, and it was almost time to board the plane.

Jiang came over to say goodbye, "Well, Mr. Gu, I'll head back now."

Gu Yunmo was indeed a considerate boss. "Okay, be careful on your way back."

"OK."

Just as he turned around, Jiang Jin's phone rang. He glanced at it but didn't answer.

After leaving the airport, he drove to a village near the airport. At the end of the village was an open space where many people would come to watch planes take off from the ground and fly overhead.

He answered the phone that kept ringing, "I've arranged everything for you to go abroad. Once you're overseas, keep your mouth shut."

Chen Jiayi asked cautiously, "Assistant Jiang, why did you make me push all the blame onto Ji Shanmei? It was clearly Yan Fei—"

Jiang Jin interrupted her: "What do you think? I'm President Gu's assistant. Why do you think I should distance myself from Yan Fei?"

"So this was President Gu's idea!"

Chen Jiayi nodded repeatedly, thinking it made sense. Gu Yunmo dared to buy a house for Yan Fei across from the hospital, so naturally Yan Fei was the most important person in his heart.

"Assistant Jiang, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I'm about to board the plane! I'm leaving everything to you!"

Jiang Jin hung up the phone and dialed another number.

"Sister Fei, it's all taken care of."

Yan Fei's voice was filled with surprise and joy, "Thank you! Jiang Jin, thank you so much! I don't know what I would have done without you!"

Jiang Jin leaned against the car and smoked, the village wind blowing against him, and every now and then an airplane roared overhead.

"Sister Fei, please stop doing this. Yan Zhi is quite pitiful too."

Yan Fei paused for a moment, then said, "Jiang Jin, you also think I'm a bad woman, right? But I love Yun Mo, and I can't bear to see him and Yan Zhi become a happy family of three! Even though... I was the one who got together with Yun Mo first!"

After listening to her helplessness and resentment, Jiang Jin mustered his courage and said, "Sister Fei, you still have me."

"Yes, I still have you!"

Without pausing for a second, Yan Fei said, "Jiang Jin, you'll help me get back to Yunmo's side, right?"
