Chapter 253: Her Mother Passed Away

, tonight, when Shu Tinglan was taking a shower, Yi Muyang went to the hotel gym and did a few sets of exercises to avoid it. When he returned to the room, Shu Tinglan had finished showering, put on h...When Fu Shenyi tried to hold Lin Zhiyao as they went to bed, he was kicked off the bed by Lin Zhiyao. The usually imposing and powerful man outside stood helplessly under the bed, clueless about the source of his wife's anger.

"Are you still human Look at me, I'm heartbroken like this, and all you can think about is sleeping with me."

Fu Shenyi was wronged. He just wanted to comfort her because he saw she was sad.

"Get lost and go sleep in the study." Before Shu Tinglan returned, she decided to separate from Fu Shenyi.

"You can go sleep in the study, but you have to tell me why you're sad."

"It's none of your business," she gritted out, her words laced with fury. This was a personal matter, and tomorrow, she would go to Zhuoyuan Tech and confront Zhuo Yu'an herself.

Zhuo Yu'an would arrive at Zhuo Yuan Technology very early every day, and Cui Jie usually arrived at the same time to arrange breakfast for him and brew a cup of coffee. These things were originally handled by his domestic assistant, but since Cui Jie was back, she took charge. Over the past few years, the domestic assistant has mainly been handling Fu Shenyi's daily affairs.

Now Fu Shenyi is in charge of the operation and management of Zhuoyuan Technology. Zhu YUAN is only responsible for major strategic matters, and he still focuses on researching and developing new products in his daily life.

Cui Jie gave him the list of prize winners for teenagers this time.

“Sun Yueyue is quite good, she's a promising talent. She visited the company the other day and said she didn't need a scholarship, but hoped I could arrange for her to intern at Zhuoyuan Technology during her winter and summer breaks. She's a very independent child. I'll send you her competition work and videos later.”

"You do as you see fit." Zhu YUAN trusted Cui Jie's judgment. However, whether it was Cui Jie or Wang Yan, they always insisted on letting him have a look at the candidates after each competition. After all, he was in charge of R&D.

As the two were speaking, the office door was suddenly pushed open from outside. Cui glanced at the person who came in. She remembered her; she was Fu Shini's wife and occasionally came to the company to wait for Fu Shini to get off work.

However, barging into Zhu Yu'an's office like that made Cui Jie a bit angry. She thought he was being too disrespectful and out of line. Cui Jie asked him coldly,

“Is there anything”

Lin Zhi'ao ignored her and just glared furiously at Zhuo Yu'an behind the desk, her eyes as if she wanted to eat him alive.

Zuo Yunan waved his hand to Cui Jie, signaling that it was okay and asking her to go out first. Cui Jie glanced at Lin Zhifei and helplessly walked out of Zuo Yunan's office.

After she left, the entire office fell silent. Zhuo Yu'an looked at Lin Zhi's red eyes, puzzled.

"Is something the matter" he asked. He felt a sense of things being different, of people changing, looking at Lin Zhixuan now.

Lin Zhiyao glared at him for a long time before finally saying

“When was the last time you heard from Tinglan” She felt that, given Tinglan’s dependence on Zhu Yunan, if her mother had something happen, she would contact him first no matter what their marital status was. She knew Tinglan very well.

Zhuo Yu'an's eyes darkened. He hadn't expected Lin Zhifei to suddenly ask that question, but he didn't want to answer. He didn't want to relive that memory.

Seeing him suddenly silent, Lin Zhi's carefully suppressed anger flared up again.

“Are you deaf What the hell, are you mute” She was ready to curse his ancestors for eighteen generations.

After the divorce, I deleted each other's contact information and never contacted each other again," Zhu Yu'an answered truthfully.

Lin Zhifei immediately flew into a rage, seeing the files on his desk. He lifted them up, wanting to throw them at him, but he finally held back. His voice choked with emotion.

“So when she needed you the most, you were nowhere to be found How dare you pretend to be so deep and affectionate, you're nothing but a sham.”

Zhu Yu'an only grasped the key points, and his voice finally came back.

"What do you mean Be specific!"

"Her mother passed away, a month after your divorce, right when you blocked her. How about it, do you feel any remorse Any guilt"

Lin Zhiyao, upon saying this, couldn't control herself anymore. She, too, felt sadness and guilt. As she spoke, she went crazy, flinging all the files on his desk at him.

He stood there like a wooden statue, his face paling as she hit him and cursed at him.

The commotion here was too loud, and Cui Jie from outside rushed in, only to see the office desk in disarray. One was crying and cursing, while the other stood there pale as a sheet. An outsider who didn't know what was going on might have thought that Zhuo Yunan had wronged Lin Zhifei, and Lin Zhifei had come to cause a scene.

Cui Jie called Fu Shen Yi, asking him to come quickly and take Lin Zhixuan away as he was going crazy. Fu Shen Yi was in a meeting with an agent and hurriedly postponed it. He coaxed and carried Lin Zhixuan away, luckily they were still in Zhuo Yu An's office and didn't make a fool of themselves outside.

CJ was also puzzled about the relationship between the two. How could Zhu Yu'an allow her to hit and scold him

After Lin Zhixuan was carried away by Fu Shenyi, Zhu Yunan and the others were stunned. They didn't speak, just took out their phones, connected to their computers, and then tapped on the keyboards furiously. He wanted to recover WeChat's chat history.

All attention was focused on the computer screen and flying fingers, not daring to think about anything in my head, for if I did, it would feel like an explosion of pain.

Finally, all chat records of the two people were recovered.

The last chat was fixed at one month after the divorce, and she asked a question:

Are you there

And he rejected her message.

That was at 2 am on December 15th, and Lin Zhixuan said her mother passed away on December 20th.

Since his divorce, Zhuo Yu'an had never shed a single tear. But now, tears welled up in his eyes. His heart had been shattered at the time of the divorce, and he thought it couldn't hurt any more. Now, the pain was back tenfold.

My heart ached so much it hurt my stomach, and I was sweating all over. Cui Jie was terrified and asked him

"Are you okay Should we go to the hospital"

He shook his head, stood up, and walked with unsteady steps toward Fu Shenyi's office to find Lin Zhi.

Where is she

"You ask me, I ask who" Lin Zhiyao's emotions, which had been soothed by Fu Shenyi, rose again.

How did you know her mother passed away Why did she pass away

I don't know, I know nothing. Don't ask me. If you really want to know, go find her. Is there anyone in this world you can't find

Lin Zhihao was so frustrated, she felt it wasn't right to keep hiding anymore. She needed to find her best friend Shushu. Could the past misunderstandings or guilt just disappear if she hid away No way!

Find her and treat her twice as well, that's the way to make amends.

Zuo Yu'an wasn't that he couldn't find her, but rather that he didn't dare to. Before, he didn't look for her because he didn't want to bother her, but now he was afraid to face her. Just thinking about the look on her face when she ignored his messages made his heart feel like it had shattered into pieces, a pain that went beyond heartache and guilt.

Lin Zhi's sneered, "Of course. What would you even ask her It's been three years. She's so strong, she hasn't come back once. She must have gotten over it on her own and doesn't need us anymore." He was insulting him, but also himself.lain, but she said again: "Don't explain, what you blurted out just now is your subconscious thoughts. You are confident in our relationship, no, arrogant. Arrogance is essentially looking down on oth...
