Zhao Jingyu just gave birth to a son, and he has to take care of both the adults and the children, as well as Wang Manni. Now there are three women, and he can only release himself and get satisfaction with Wang Manni. Neither Gu Jia nor Zhao Jingyu can satisfy him.
Huaxing Group is still operating normally as before. This large group has already been formed, so Zhou Chen does not need to spend much time. He just needs to grasp the overall situation.
Gu Jia is looking after Chenxing Rehabilitation Institution, and he is only responsible for overall planning, which is relatively easy.
Only the pharmaceutical company is developing rapidly and is the industry that he needs to pay most attention to. Whether it is new drugs that are being sold or new drugs that are still under development, he needs to be responsible for them, so his work is not easy.
Fortunately, Zhou Chen has extremely rich life experience, and even with so many industries, he can still handle them with ease. He can also often find time to accompany Gu Jia and Xu Ziyan.
For Zhou Chen, arranging time properly has become a matter of practice makes perfect.
On this day, Gu Jia once again attended a gathering of the wives' circle. After several gatherings, she has gradually become the focus of the wives' circle.
After all, these wives all rely on their husband's family for their livelihood, and although her man is the youngest, he is definitely the most prestigious one among the wives.
The most talked-about topic surrounding her recently is Zhou Chen's Chenxing Pharmaceutical Company. Because in the recent stock market downturn, Chenxing Pharmaceutical's stock price has soared like a rocket, becoming the most dazzling stock so far in the first half of this year.
Countless people want to buy this stock, but unfortunately there are too few individual shares circulating in the stock market, making it difficult to buy.
The stocks that Gu Jia originally thought were worth about 100 million yuan now have a market value of more than 200 million yuan, and are still continuing to rise.
Gu Jia always felt that there was something wrong with the way Mrs. Liu looked at her today, so when they were alone, she couldn't help but ask Mrs. Liu, "Mrs. Liu, do you have anything to say to me?"
Mrs. Liu smiled, but the smile looked particularly fake.
"No, I just envy Mrs. Zhou. She can marry such a good husband even though she has a child. She is much more attractive than women like us."
Gu Jia felt very uncomfortable listening to these words which were apparently praise but actually meant insult. Mrs. Liu had been very unfriendly to her ever since she had criticized her last time.
"Charm is not the only thing. Mrs. Liu is truly happy. She has always been well-dressed, well-fed, and rich. Someone like me who has suffered so much can't compare to you."
Mrs. Liu: "It's all fate. Mrs. Zhou used to have a bad fate, but now it's different. Following a man like Mr. Zhou, she will definitely have a life of wealth and glory."
Gu Jia frowned: "Mrs. Liu, just say what you want to say."
The conversation between the two of them attracted the attention of several other wives, and they all looked at Gu Jia and Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu still had a fake smile on her face and asked Gu Jia, "Recently, there is a Hong Kong Island woman named Zhao Jingyu who is quite famous. I wonder if Mrs. Zhou has heard of her?"
"Zhao Jingyu, a woman from Hong Kong Island, a celebrity?"
Gu Jia was a little confused. When she heard the term "Hong Kong woman", she thought she was a star. She didn't pay attention to the entertainment industry, so she didn't know much about entertainment stars.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help laughing, then realized she had lost control and said, "She's not a star, but she's more interesting than a star. If you're interested, Mrs. Zhou, you can go investigate. I believe you won't be disappointed."
Such an answer made Gu Jia even more confused. She glanced casually at the other ladies and found that Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Yu also had strange smiles on their faces. Only Mrs. Li looked calm, and Mrs. Wang was busy and serious, as if she was not interested in this topic.
"has a problem."
The smart Gu Jia immediately realized that there was a problem. There must be something wrong with this Hong Kong woman named Zhao Jingyu, otherwise Mrs. Liu would not have brought it up for no reason.
But when she saw that Mrs. Liu and the other ladies had no intention of explaining, she realized that something was wrong, but she did not insist on it anymore. She just made a note of the name in her mind and decided to investigate it after she left.
The gathering of the wives' circle soon ended. Gu Jia and Mrs. Wang left together, while the other wives stayed.
After Gu Jia and Mrs. Wang walked out of the party venue, Mrs. Wang grabbed Gu Jia with a serious expression.
"Gu Jia, that Mrs. Liu has bad intentions, don't be fooled by her."
Gu Jia immediately noticed something and asked, "Is there something wrong with the woman she was talking about? Why did she mention that Hong Kong woman for no reason?"
Mrs. Wang said: "I don't know, but you are so smart, you should understand that she has no good intentions. She just wants to target you. If you are serious, you will really fall into the trap."
Seeing that Mrs. Wang had no different expression, Gu Jia didn't know whether she really didn't know or if she knew but was deliberately not saying anything, so she didn't ask any further questions.
"I see."
At this time, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Liu did not leave. Mrs. Liu said with a smug look on her face, "That Gu Jia thought that she could become a phoenix by hooking up with the Zhou family. She wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with us. Is she worthy? Her husband kept a mistress outside and had a child, but she was kept in the dark. It's really funny."
Mrs. Ma also laughed and said, "It's really funny. Although I don't know why Zhou Chen would fall in love with a single mother like Gu Jia, he will regret it."
Mrs. Yu said slowly and methodically, "In fact, I have long seen that Zhou Chen is interested in Gu Jia. I thought Gu Jia could keep herself clean, but now it seems that she is just that."
"Cough cough."
Mrs. Li said to Mrs. Liu in dissatisfaction: "Mrs. Liu, I told you this matter casually, but you used it to target Mrs. Zhou. In our circle of wives, you have touched a taboo."
It turned out that the reason why the other wives knew about Zhao Jingyu was because Mrs. Li told them, and Mrs. Li also heard it from her husband.
But no one is a fool, and everyone knows what Mrs. Li’s intention is in telling this secret.
Mrs. Liu looked indifferent: "Do you really think of her as one of us? Anyway, I don't have any, so there is no need to follow the rules with her."
She knew that Mrs. Li might be using her as a tool, but she didn't care. As long as she could make Gu Jia uncomfortable, she was willing to do it.
Mrs. Yu advised, "Mrs. Liu, I advise you to be more careful. Zhou Chen married Gu Jia home without caring about her child. This shows that he really cares about Gu Jia. If he breaks them up because of you, then the eldest young master of the Zhou family is not a good person."
Mrs. Liu's face suddenly changed, but she quickly pretended to be brave and said, "We are not the only ones who know this secret. Even if he wants to do something, our Liu family is not easy to bully."

Chapter 383: Exposure, Gu Jia's Despair
Gu Jia did not notice Mrs. Liu's timid appearance. At this time, she had already returned in the car driven by Chen Xu.
"Sister, why do you look a little unhappy today? My sister-in-law said that pregnant women should smile more, which is good for both adults and children."
Chen Xu was driving and saw through the rearview mirror that Gu Jia was frowning, as if thinking about some difficult problem, so he took the initiative to ask.
If it were any other driver, he would definitely not ask too much about his employer's affairs, but Chen Xu had been with Gu Jia for several years, and Gu Jia took such good care of him, he really regarded Gu Jia as a sister, so he asked with great concern.
Gu Jia had been thinking about what Mrs. Liu had just said to her. She always felt that there was something fishy, but she couldn't figure out what it was for the moment.
"Xiaoqin would tell you this? I think you saw it yourself from somewhere."
"hey-hey."
Gu Jia didn't care. She knew that Chen Xu was deliberately bringing up the topic because he didn't want to make her unhappy.
"Chen Xu, have you heard of a woman from Hong Kong named Zhao Jingyu?"
"A woman from Hong Kong Island?"
Chen Xu was confused, not knowing why Gu Jia asked this question, but he still answered honestly: "I haven't heard of it. What's wrong, Sister Jia, what's wrong with this woman?"
Gu Jia: "I heard from those ladies that this woman seems to have some problems. Chen Xu, do you know anyone who can help investigate this woman?"
Chen Xu asked puzzledly: "Sister, if you want to investigate, you can find Director Zhou. He has a wide network of contacts. There should be few people in the Demon Realm that he can't find, right?"
Gu Jia said: "He has been very busy recently. It's just a small matter and I don't want to trouble him."
Chen Xu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try it."
He had also been in Shanghai for a few years. Although he had always been a driver and had not made a name for himself, he had gotten to know some people from all walks of life.
"Chen Xu, I transferred some money to you as the funding for your investigation."
Gu Jia used Weixin to transfer money to Chen Xu, but Chen Xu quickly refused: "No, sister, it won't cost much."
Gu Jia: "It's okay, just keep it. Even if you don't need it this time, you will need it in the future."
"Oh well."
Chen Xu finally did not refuse. He was driving and didn't know how much money Gu Jia gave him, but he knew it must be considerable. However, he also knew that for Gu Jia now, the funds she gave him were really just pocket money.
After sending Gu Jia back, Chen Xu began to investigate. He also saw the transfer that Gu Jia made to him, which was a full 50,000 yuan, which was equivalent to his salary for several months.
After receiving the money, Chen Xu naturally became more serious and started asking people everywhere.
A few days later, Chen Xu's hands began to tremble as he looked at the information he had obtained. He had never expected that this would be the result.
He cried, "What should I do?"
It stands to reason that Gu Jia asked him to investigate, so he should tell Gu Jia the result, but how dare he tell Gu Jia the result of the investigation, if Zhou Chen finds out, he can't imagine what the consequences will be.
Faced with such a difficult problem, he was unable to make a decision, and the first thing he thought of was to ask his elder brother Chen Yu.
But he quickly dismissed the idea. This was Zhou Chen's privacy and she dared not spread it casually.
After considering for a long time, Chen Xu finally made a decision.
Zhou Chen was currently at a pharmaceutical company, meeting with a group of senior executives. Due to the popularity of the two new drugs, the pharmaceutical company had expanded production, and the number of workers in the factory had more than doubled.
With more people, the management team will naturally increase, and many management regulations will also change, so Zhou Chen needs to coordinate management.
While he was in the meeting, his phone suddenly vibrated. He ignored it and hung up to continue the meeting.
Half an hour later, when the meeting was over, he took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from Chen Xu.
So he dialed back.
"Zhou Dong."
"Chen Xu, why did you call me? Is there something wrong?"
"Mr. Zhou, I have something very important to tell you. Sister Jia asked me to investigate someone before. She..."
Zhou Chen frowned when he learned from Chen Xu that Gu Jia actually knew about Zhao Jingyu's existence, and she learned about it from the wives' circle.
"Have you found out everything?"
"Mr. Jay, don't get me wrong. I didn't know about your relationship with her at first. If I knew, I wouldn't..."
Chen Xu on the other end of the phone was very panicked. He originally thought it was just a small matter, but he didn't expect it to involve Zhou Chen, and the situation was still the same. This made him really regret helping Gu Jia.
"I know."
Zhou Chen interrupted Chen Xu's explanation and said directly: "You can tell Gu Jia about my relationship with Zhao Jingyu."
"Understood. I will definitely not sue..."
Chen Xu was stunned when he was halfway through his speech, and asked again: "Mr. Zhou, what did you just say?"
Zhou Chen: "I said, you can tell Gu Jia about my relationship with Zhao Jingyu, and tell her what you found out. As for the rest, just say you don't know, and don't continue to investigate. Do you understand?"
"But, Mr. Zhou, if I tell Sister Jia, won't you and Sister Jia be in trouble?"
Chen Xu didn't understand Zhou Chen's thoughts. If he had a mistress outside, he must avoid his wife. But Zhou Chen actually asked him to tell Gu Jia the truth. What was this? Did Zhou Chen not want to be with Sister Jia anymore?
But he quickly dismissed this thought. This was absolutely impossible. He knew that Gu Jia was pregnant with Zhou Chen's child, and they seemed to be very much in love.
"I know what's going on. Just tell Gu Jia and I'll make arrangements for her."
"Uh, okay."
"Just tell Gu Jia and keep it to yourself. Do you understand?"
"clear."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chen did not seem too panicked. Truth will come to light sooner or later. He had expected that the truth would be exposed. He thought it would have to wait until the old man brought the child back, but he did not expect it to be exposed so soon.
It is useless to stop Chen Xu. Since Gu Jia has doubts in her heart, even if Chen Xu says nothing, she will definitely not give up the investigation. It will only cause more trouble. It is better to solve this problem as soon as possible.
As for the fact that Gu Jia learned about it from the wives' circle, he was not surprised. He had taken Zhao Jingyu to several banquets before, so it was not surprising that someone knew about his relationship with Zhao Jingyu.
But he was still very unhappy. Those wives were really scheming against each other. In order to attack Gu Jia, they even dragged him into it. This matter would not be resolved so easily.
After knowing the truth, what attitude will Gu Jia take towards him? Zhou Chen can only wait quietly and be prepared to respond accordingly.
After talking to Zhou Chen on the phone, although Chen Xu was confused, he did not dare to go against Zhou Chen's words. After thinking it over for a while, he went to find Gu Jia and prepared to tell her.
He showed up at Chenxing Rehabilitation Institution on time. Since it was the principal Gu Jia's car, the security guards naturally would not stop him.
After Gu Jia got in the car, Chen Xu did not start the car, but said to Gu Jia: "Sister Jia, I have found out some of the things you asked me to investigate last time."
Gu Jia had a good memory and immediately recalled what happened that day, so she immediately asked, "Tell me, what did you find out?"
"Jia Jie, this, that..."
Although he had already made the decision to speak out, when facing Gu Jia's eyes, Chen Xu was still very flustered, stammering and not knowing where to start.
Seeing him like this, Gu Jia's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She vaguely guessed an outcome that she least wanted.
"Don't hesitate, just tell me, I'm not that fragile, and I can withstand any blow."
Gu Jia's behavior surprised Chen Xu. Did she have a premonition?
"Jia Jie, the Zhao Jingyu you asked me to investigate is indeed from Hong Kong Island, but she is not a celebrity. She and Mr. Zhou..."
He hadn't finished speaking yet, but Gu Jia's expression had already changed, and she asked expressionlessly: "What kind of relationship are they in?"
Chen Xu nodded and said, "This Zhao Jingyu is indeed Mr. Zhou's woman, but she is more like a lover. She lives in a villa under Mr. Zhou's name."
Gu Jia took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, but still asked with a trembling voice: "What else? When did they start?"
"According to my friend's investigation, they started last year. It seems that Mr. Zhou met her when he was on a business trip to Hong Kong Island. Later, the woman came to Shanghai by herself, and Mr. Zhou arranged for her to stay in his villa, and, and..."
