Chapter 335: Chapter 335: The So-Called Ex-Wife, There’s Someone Else
From a car not far away, Shi Lihua and Xu Yansu quietly watched Su Mu at the entrance of the old mansion. Shi Lihua had never seen Su Mu, but Xu Yansu recognized her; even though she recognized her, she was just a photographer she had found herself, seemingly unrelated to the Fu family.
But Su Mu’s appearance at the entrance of the old mansion was already a matter of great significance, after all, Xu Yansu had never revealed her own address.
Remembering the day they shot the wedding photos, Xu Yansu felt that there were some things she didn’t know about based on Fu Shinian’s reaction to Su Mu, but as to what it was, she vaguely understood, yet dared not believe. Lost in her thoughts, Shi Lihua broke the silence by asking:
"Who is she?"
Coming back to her senses, Xu Yansu replied indifferently:
"Su Mu, she’s a photographer. She’s the one I found for the wedding photoshoot with Fu Shinian."
"A photographer? What is she doing here?"
Xu Yansu shook her head, and after a brief silence, she still shared her inner thoughts:
"Auntie Hua, do you remember that Fu Shinian was married before?"
Shi Lihua raised her eyebrows slightly:
"What? You think there’s an issue?"
Xu Yansu looked at Su Mu’s silhouette and couldn’t help but smile, "I think that this woman might very well be Fu Shinian’s ex-wife."
"Ex-wife? Wasn’t his ex-wife called Meng Lan? How could it be Su Mu? Besides, they look completely different."
When they had returned, Fu Shinian’s story with his so-called ex-wife had already come to an end. With such a public divorce, Shi Lihua had not been uninterested in the matter, but when all the investigation materials were laid before her, she felt they held no valuable insight.
The records showed that Fu Shinian’s ex-wife was named Meng Lan, who had married him for money, while Fu Shinian had needed a kidney. Their union was predestined to end in tragedy. Moreover, given that Fu Shinian’s ex-wife was of average appearance and background, and had become pregnant with another man’s child, Fu Shinian couldn’t tolerate it, and they eventually divorced. Fu Shinian let her leave without a second thought, not leaving her with anything.
Wary of missing anything, Shi Lihua even went to see for herself and made contact, confirming indeed that she was not a woman capable of attracting a man like Fu Shinian. It also validated all of their prior investigations, that their relationship was nothing but mutually exploitative.
Fu Shinian had a serious obsession with purity in marriage, and he would have wished death upon a woman who had betrayed him. Even if Shi Lihua held any leverage, it would be useless, which is why she stopped paying any attention to her.
"Do you still believe those investigation records we looked into before?"
Xu Yansu’s question caused Shi Lihua to space out for a moment.
The reality before them was that Fu Shinian had been feigning weakness from the start, with his apparent helplessness and compromises being nothing more than a guise for his biding his time and preparing everything. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have moved the old lady to an undiscoverable location so swiftly, nor would he have taken over the old house so quickly, while they were none the wiser.
If this was one of Fu Shinian’s strategies, then it wasn’t impossible that he had deliberately divorced his wife to protect her from repercussions and then hastily arranged for someone to play a part in a show.
"Are you sure?"
Xu Yansu looked at Su Mu:
"Back when we were shooting the wedding photos, I was already suspecting they knew each other, but at that time, I didn’t think too much into it. Now that I think about it, their atmosphere was quite strange. Even if she’s not the ex-wife, this person is important to Fu Shinian."
Of course, she was important. If she was Fu Shinian’s ex-wife, then Fu Shinian had gone to great lengths to arrange everything for her when his own safety was in jeopardy, ensuring Shi Lihua could not trace anything back to them and protecting her with an impenetrable armor.
Such affection was rare and was precisely what they urgently needed now.

Wen Han arrived home only to unexpectedly find that Su Yimo, who was supposed to have gone back to Jiangcheng City, was playing with Wen Shaoyuan. He couldn’t help but smile, reaching out to pick her up:
"Didn’t Qiqi follow Su Mu back to Jiangcheng? Why are you still here?" he asked with a grin.
Su Yimo blinked and tilted her head as she looked up at him:
"Does Uncle Wen not want to see Qiqi?" she inquired innocently.
Wen Han pinched her little nose gently:
"You little imp, why would Uncle Wen not want to see you? I’d love it if you stayed here forever," he chuckled.
That would mean Su Mu would stay as well, and just thinking about it sweetly made him eager to see her presence. He had expected to see Su Mu, but there was no sign of her as far as his eyes could see:
"Where’s Su Mu?"
This question left Su Yimo unsure of what to say. She climbed down from Wen Han’s embrace and stood next to Wen Shaoyuan.
Looking at the comically awkward scene before him, Wen Han couldn’t help but ask:
"What’s the matter? Did you upset Su Mu?"
"Not at all, not at all," Su Yimo shook her head vigorously, like a bobblehead: "I wouldn’t upset Su Mu."
"Hmm, I thought so too. Now, do you want to tell Uncle Wen where Su Mu has gone?"
Su Yimo still found it hard to speak up. After all, she knew that Uncle Wen liked Su Mu, but Su Mu had gone to see his father. Would Uncle Wen be upset? She didn’t want to make Uncle Wen sad or hurt, but she also didn’t want to lie or deceive him.
Seeing Su Yimo’s dilemma, Wen Han seemed to understand something. Today’s Fu Corporation press conference was public knowledge, and it would be hard for him not to know about it. It was understandable if Su Mu went to check it out on his own. He gave a slight smile and stroked her hair:
"You two keep playing. Uncle Wen is going upstairs to change clothes."
After Wen Han went upstairs, he hesitated over whether to call Su Mu or not, but after some thought, he decided against it. He believed the chances for Su Mu and Fu Shinian to start over were slim, and he wanted to give her enough space to forget everything. So, he shouldn’t appear and disturb her.
As he was about to take a shower, Wen Shaoyuan knocked on his bedroom door and poked his little head in with a smile:
"Dad, may I come in?" he asked.
"Of course," Wen Han replied.
Wen Shaoyuan approached, standing less than a meter away from Wen Han, a posture indicative of someone ready to admit a mistake. It was a version of Wen Shaoyuan that he scarcely saw, which made him jokingly ask:
"Don’t tell me you stole a kiss from Qiqi?"
Wen Shaoyuan hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head as if startled, his face instantly turning red:
"No, no. Dad, how could I do such a thing?"
Wen Han was just teasing and didn’t take it to heart, as he continued walking towards the bathroom: "Spit it out, what’s the matter?"
Wen Shaoyuan bit his lower lip, finally speaking up:
"Some time ago, I took Qiqi to meet Uncle Fu. They met, so now... Qiqi knows that Uncle Fu is her father."
