Disorder in marriage

Instead of returning to her room to wait for her fate, Yan Zhi went to check on the spot where Ji Shanmei had fallen.

Ji Shanmei left the top floor and wanted to get back to her room, so taking the elevator would be the fastest way. Therefore, she couldn't have gone to the stairwell for no reason.

Yan Zhi guessed that the reason she came to the stairwell was to contact someone urgently, and this person was probably related to the person behind Chen Jiayi.

In fact, she already had that name in her heart.

But she couldn't understand how Yan Fei, who was abroad, could calculate every step so accurately.

She sat on the rooftop for a while, looked up at her surroundings, and saw that all the security cameras were broken. There were just too many coincidences.

When she returned to her room, she received a call from Gu Yunmo, "Ji Shanmei has broken her leg and needs to be hospitalized. I'll be back as soon as I've completed the admission procedures."

Yan Zhi asked, "Have the surveillance cameras arrived yet?"

Gu Yunmo remained silent. Just as Yan Zhi had expected, there were no security cameras in the stairwell, and the camera on the top floor was broken.

The only thing that can be proven is that Yan Zhi and Ji Shanmei did indeed go up to the top floor.

"Now do you believe me? Someone is trying to harm me. Let me tell you something else: I can't contact Chen Jiayi anymore; she's probably already run away."

Gu Yunmo wasn't stupid. Every single thing pointed to Yan Zhi and Ji Shanmei, constantly escalating their conflict. It was obvious that someone was manipulating things behind the scenes.

Why did you meet with Ji Shanmei alone?

Yan Zhi was exhausted, but she forced herself to answer his questions.

"When we got back from the boat trip, she called me and told me about how I almost fell off the boat. I found it strange and asked her how she knew. After that, we parted ways. I really didn't expect her to fall down the stairs."

After she finished speaking, there was no sound from the other end.

"Gu Yunmo, I've told you everything you want to know. I don't care whether you believe me or not. Ji Shanmei has wronged me so much, and I will never let her get away with it."

"Um."

Gu Yunmo wasn't as cold and hard as before. "I'll go back later. You should go to sleep first."

......

The doctor was putting a cast on Ji Shanmei when Gu Yunmo came in from outside.

"Could you please step outside for a moment? I have something to ask her."

The doctor was in a dilemma, after all, Ji Shanmei's injuries were quite serious, and as a doctor, he couldn't just ignore them.

"Mr. Gu, my leg hurts a lot! Could you let me finish putting on the cast first?"

Gu Yunmo remained unmoved. Dressed in understated black, he stood under the white lights, exuding a cold and aloof aura, with a gloomy and malevolent presence emanating from him.

The doctor ultimately didn't dare offend this powerful figure, and left dejectedly, closing the door behind him.

Having worked with him for so many years, Ji Shanmei knows very well which situations are okay to joke about and which situations are not to be ambiguous.

"Mr. Gu... what would you like to ask?"

Gu Yunmo hooked the chair under his foot and sat down, asking casually, "Are you sure Yan Zhi pushed you down the stairs?"

"At the time, it was just her and me on the rooftop. I can't think of anyone else besides her..." She sniffed. "Actually, I didn't mean to blame my wife. She must have misunderstood me because of Chen Jiayi's matter. I can understand, really."

Gu Yunmo stared at her with sharp eyes: "Whether you're sure or not, you only need to answer this question."

Ji Shanmei secretly glanced at his expression and whispered, "I'm sure."

Gu Yunmo sneered, "Fine, then please explain what you were doing in the stairwell?"

Ji Shanmei bit her lip, avoiding his gaze, "I accidentally went to the wrong door."

Gu Yunmo: "Then explain again, how did you know that Yan Zhi almost fell off the boat?"

Ji Shanmei's eyes widened. "President Gu, I didn't do anything that caused her to fall off the boat!"

Gu Yunmo took out his phone and gently tapped her leg. Ji Shanmei instantly broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

"President Gu!"

Answer me.

After enduring the excruciating pain, Ji Shanmei timidly spoke, "Yes, someone told me..."

"Who?"

Ji Shanmei took out her phone and showed it to him. "I recognized the voice as a woman's, but I don't know who she is. She even sent me a photo, which startled me! That's why I called to check on my wife."

Gu Yunmo dialed the number on the spot, but Ji Shanmei shrugged: "It's no use. I've tried several times, but it's always switched off."

Gu Yunmo had no choice but to write down the number.

"There's one more thing I'd like to confirm." He looked at Ji Shanmei again, his cold face full of composure and aloofness.

"do you like me?"

Ji Shanmei's heart skipped a beat. Over the years, she had been involved in all sorts of entertainment and fame circles, and she had rarely spoken the truth.

At that moment, she desperately wanted to tell him the truth, but she knew that once she spoke, it would all be over.

"Of course I like it!" She smiled. "How could I not like my boss who pays my salary? Besides, if it weren't for President Gu, I'd still be a hostess in a nightclub. President Gu saved me from that predicament, of course I like him!"

Gu Yunmo didn't react at all. After listening, he got up and left without saying a word.

As his breath gradually dissipated, the light in Ji Shanmei's eyes also gradually faded.

She took out her phone and dialed a number that she hadn't saved as a name, a number that had been saved in her phone for many years.

When Gu Yunmo and Yan Fei were together, she had already read through Yan Fei's personal information countless times.

"Feed? Who?"

"You son of a bitch," Ji Shanmei said calmly, "I'll kill you sooner or later, I really will."

"Manager Ji," Yan Fei said with a smile, "is your leg alright?"

Ji Shanmei couldn't sit still any longer. "I knew it was you! Just because I sent Yan Zhi to the hotel to cause trouble for you last time, you're going to kill me?"

"Manager Ji, I don't quite understand what you're saying. What did Xiao Zhi do to bother me at the hotel? Isn't it you who likes Yun Mo...?"

Her voice was as cold as ice when she asked the last question.

Ji Shanmei sneered, "I'm asking you, did you also do what happened to Chen Jiayi? You're really ruthless! Those are your own sister and nephew! Does President Gu know how vicious you are behind my back?"

"You can just tell him," Yan Fei said fearlessly. "You can also tell him that I caused you to fall down the stairs. Do you think Yunmo will believe you?"

Ji Shanmei fell silent.

Gu Yunmo certainly wouldn't believe it, which is why she mentioned Yan Zhiqian.

Given the choice between dragging Yan Fei into the mess and making Gu Yunmo despise Yan Zhi, she chose the latter.

Moreover, she really didn't dare to do anything to Yan Fei, as everyone knew that Gu Yunmo protected her fiercely.

Sometimes she felt sorry for Yan Zhi. Her husband had a woman he was always grateful to and felt guilty towards, and their life together was like eating a half-cooked bowl of rice.

What's even more ridiculous is that everyone knows Yan Zhi's child is dead, except for Yan Zhi herself.

"Yan Fei, you don't need to be so smug. You're blaming everything on me and Yan Zhi. Do you think that after a while, Yan Zhi and President Gu won't realize it was you?"

"I'm waiting for the day Yan Zhi tears off your true colors. Let's see how long you can keep up the act of taking care of your child abroad!"
