Chapter 7 Doubt
Chapter 7 Doubt
Shen Qingrou stopped her assault and looked at Ye Cheng with a puzzled expression: "Why didn't you react?"
Ye Cheng was on the verge of tears, and asked in return, "What kind of reaction would you have if someone could barely walk?"
These words were like a wake-up call. Shen Qingrou instantly returned to normal, quickly sat up straight, and looked at Ye Cheng apologetically: "I'm sorry..."
Deep down, Shen Qingrou really admired Ye Cheng.
At a young age, he donated a kidney to save his classmate without hesitation, and even though he ended up disabled and betrayed, he never regretted it.
Such men are rare in this world.
He is a person worthy of respect.
However, Shen Qingrou always loses control of her emotions when she sees Ye Cheng's appearance.
Ye Cheng looked at the pristine white roof: "Hmm, there's still hope."
Shen Qingrou's lips tightened slightly. She got up, took out a small first-aid kit from the drawer, and took out iodine and cotton swabs to treat the wound on Ye Cheng's lips.
"Does it hurt?"
Ye Cheng answered irrelevantly: "That man hurt you deeply, didn't he?"
Shen Qingrou shook her head: "He didn't hurt me."
Ye Cheng suddenly realized: "So it was because you loved her too deeply."
But I am not him after all.
Shen Qingrou nodded: "I know."
"If you want me to become him, tell me about him."
The one who tied the knot must untie it; Ye Cheng doesn't want Shen Qingrou, who is hurt by love, to lose control of her emotions at any moment.
Facing a crazy person every day is very stressful.
Shen Qingrou gave Ye Cheng a deep look, stood up, and said calmly, "You should get some rest."
After saying that, she walked out of the room, seemingly unwilling to mention him.
Hearing the noise, Ye Cheng quickly sat up: "Hey, open my bracelet!"
Shen Qingrou curled her lips into a smile, pretended not to hear, and left.
"You brat, just wait until I recover, you'll be sorry!"
Ye Cheng muttered a curse to himself, composed himself, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to seize the time to cultivate.
The warm sunlight shone on the earth as Jiang Maocai, who had not returned home all night, walked into the hotel from outside.
Upon seeing him, front desk manager Zhou Chunhong hurriedly took out her phone and called Shen Qingrou.
"Mr. Shen, the people who were harassing Mr. Ye yesterday have returned."
"Keep an eye on him and see if he goes to see Ye Cheng again."
"Okay, I'll follow them right away."
Although Zhou Chunhong walked very lightly, Jiang Maocai still noticed her.
However, when Jiang Maocai realized that Zhou Chunhong was following him, he didn't think much of it and went directly to the room where Ye Cheng had stayed the day before.
Zhou Chunhong reported the situation to Shen Qingrou in a low voice.
Jiang Mao knocked on the door, eagerly anticipating Ye Cheng's response, but Zhou Chunhong gracefully walked in instead.
"Hello Mr. Jiang, are you here to see Mr. Ye?"
Jiang Maocai turned to Zhou Chunhong and said, "I had a slight misunderstanding with Mr. Ye yesterday, so I'm here today to explain."
Zhou Chunhong smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, please come with me. Mr. Ye has changed rooms."
Jiang Maocai was slightly taken aback, but didn't think much of it and followed Zhou Chunhong to the top floor in the elevator.
It wasn't until he saw Shen Qingrou sitting behind the desk that he realized things might not be so simple.
After last night's investigation, he had a preliminary understanding of Ye Cheng's situation in Hedong City, and naturally recognized Shen Qingrou.
However, he did not reveal Shen Qingrou's identity, but instead looked at Zhou Chunhong with suspicion: "And this is...?"
Zhou Chunhong looked at Shen Qingrou and saw that Shen Qingrou was staring coldly at Jiang Maocai. Knowing that this was not the place for her to speak out, she withdrew.
With no one else in the office, Shen Qingrou said coldly, "Who I am is not important. What's important is, who are you?"
As a member of the Ye family in the capital, Jiang Maocai had seen many grand occasions and was naturally not intimidated by Shen Qingrou's imposing manner. On the contrary, he found the little girl in front of him to be both cute and fierce.
"My information was already registered when I checked into the hotel."
Judging from your appearance, you seem to be the manager of this hotel. You couldn't possibly not know who I am.
Shen Qingrou raised an eyebrow: "You know what I'm asking."
Jiang Maocai shrugged: "Forgive my ignorance, but I don't understand what you're trying to say."
Shen Qingrou originally wanted to test Jiang Maocai's true purpose in seeking Ye Cheng, but she didn't expect Jiang Maocai to be so difficult to deal with. Instead of taking the initiative to explain, he played a game of cat and mouse with her.
Left with no other choice, Shen Qingrou had to be blunt: "Ye Cheng is my man. Since he doesn't want to see you, please be sensible and leave. Don't stay here and make yourself miserable."
Jiang Maocai thought to himself, "It seems that the young master did not reveal his true identity to this girl."
Since that's the case, I won't say anything more.
Having made up his mind, Jiang Maocai requested, "I would like to see Mr. Ye one more time."
Shen Qingrou coldly refused, "There's no need for that. You can tell me what's on your mind."
Jiang Maocai frowned, ended the conversation, and turned to leave.
Shen Qingrou was somewhat surprised and fell into deep thought as she watched Jiang Maocai's departing figure: "Calm and decisive, he doesn't seem like a swindler."
"Is Ye Cheng lying to me?"
Jiang Maocai paid the bill at the front desk and left without hesitation. Only after he was far away from the hotel did he take out his phone to call Ye Wensheng.
"Master, I have investigated the young master's situation thoroughly."
Sitting in the luxury car, Ye Wensheng's expression turned slightly cold: "Speak."
Jiang Maocai told Ye Wensheng the whole story between Ye Cheng and Liu Yue.
"You mean, Cheng'er didn't want to be a burden to the Liu family, so she filed for divorce?"
"Yes, the young master already made an announcement in Liu Yue's live broadcast room yesterday."
Liu Yue is a somewhat well-known internet celebrity, and this incident has caused quite a stir online.
However, public opinion largely favors Liu Yue.
Ye Wensheng snorted coldly: "This matter is probably not that simple. How is Cheng'er doing now?"
Jiang Maocai proudly said, "Young Master has been chosen by the daughter of the Shen Group, and the two are already living together."
Ye Wensheng was taken aback upon hearing this: "This..."
Just now, he felt that Ye Cheng had suffered a great injustice and was preparing to take revenge on Liu Yue to avenge Ye Cheng.
But now he heard that Ye Cheng was living with a rich young lady, which made him think that Ye Cheng might have been the one who orchestrated the divorce between Ye Cheng and Liu Yue.
The resentment he felt towards Liu Yue vanished.
Ye Wensheng's lips curled up: "He truly is my son."
Jiang Maocai sighed helplessly at this moment: "Master, this daughter of the Shen family does not have a particularly good reputation in Hedong City. She has a very rebellious personality."
Whether there is true love between her and the young master is still under investigation.
However, this young lady Shen is quite cunning. I can't see the young master now unless I reveal my identity.
However, doing so might anger the young master.
Ye Wensheng pondered and said, "Whether we can win Cheng'er back or not, the Shen Group might be a starting point."
Send me the information about the Shen Group later.
"Go into the shadows and observe quietly; Cheng'er's legs are of utmost importance."
"Yes, sir."
"Is there anything else?"
Jiang Maocai hesitated for a moment: "There's another matter, neither too big nor too small."
“Just tell me anything that’s about Cheng’er.”
Jiang Maocai said, "When we were investigating the young master's information last night, we discovered that there were two other forces investigating him as well."
One of these forces is Shen Qianfeng, the chairman of the Shen Group.
Another force deliberately concealed its activities, leaving no obvious trace.
Ye Wensheng asked, "Isn't the Shen family girl very pretty?"
Jiang Maocai made no attempt to hide his admiration: "She is known as the most beautiful woman in Hedong City. I have seen her, and she is indeed breathtakingly beautiful."
They are no less capable than the younger generation in Beijing.
Ye Wensheng sneered: "Cheng'er is probably being envied. Go and investigate which playboy in Hedong City is pursuing the Shen family's girl."
"If anyone dares to humiliate Cheng'er, I'll raze Hedong City to the ground!"
