My life is ending, and my aloof CEO wife is taking revenge on me.

Chapter 231 The Foundation Incident Takes Another Turn

Assistant Luo paused for a moment, "As a subordinate, I shouldn't say these things, but after what happened with Old Master Song, President Song seems to have wilted all of a sudden. She's a woman, and it's really pitiful!"

Pitiful?

Can this word be used to describe her?

I don't know either.

But I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about these things.

I handed my packed suitcase to Assistant Luo, saying, "Please keep an eye on her from now on. Thank you for your thoughtfulness!"

"I will, sir..."

Assistant Luo hopes to get an answer from me.

But some things are destined to end in the first place.

I paused for a moment, then said, "What you said, I probably can't agree to. It's over between her and me a long time ago."

Assistant Luo left somewhat disappointed, having failed to get the answer he wanted.

After Assistant Luo left, I sat on the sofa for a long time.

It's not easy to break up with a woman you've loved for many years, but this is a decision I made after much deliberation.

There are too many people and things caught in the middle of us, things that are hard to explain, and we have even less reason to continue our relationship.

Besides, I have a terminal illness, and we'll have to separate sooner or later, so why should I stay by her side?

Separation in life is always easier to accept than separation by death.

……

However, Song Yafei did not stay abroad for long this time; she returned around the fifth day.

Her expression was unpredictable, so Yu Chengliang's condition was probably not as serious as Assistant Luo had described, or perhaps this was just an excuse to call Song Yafei abroad.

When Song Yafei came back, our relationship remained unchanged because of what happened that night.

We're always in a hurry, and even when we meet, we hardly exchange a word, or even make eye contact.

They only knew that they had both stayed at the villa.

Life went on like this, getting hotter day by day, and the restaurant's business gradually stabilized, so I no longer needed to stay in the restaurant every day.

When there's nothing going on at the restaurant, I'll go out for a walk.

After finishing up the restaurant business these past few days, I was strolling around the streets by myself when I unknowingly came to the store where I had bought clothes for Song Yafei before.

Previously, I took care of her daily life, and as a designer, I am more sensitive to clothing matching.

So occasionally I'll look for small shops and pick out some clothes for her.

It's been a long time since I personally picked out clothes for her.

I stood in front of the shop window for a while, and just as I was about to leave, the shop owner saw me and came out to greet me.

"Mr. Zhang, it's been a long time. Are you here to help your wife choose clothes again?"

I originally planned to just take a look and leave, but the owner came out in person, and I realized that I hadn't bought her clothes in a long time, so it wouldn't hurt to do it one more time before leaving.

I nodded and followed the owner into the shop.

Before long, I had selected about 10 outfits for Song Yafei.

I brought the clothes home, carrying large and small bags in my hands, and Aunt Lin greeted me with a beaming smile.

I know that Aunt Lin might think this is a sign that Song Yafei and I have reconciled, and she wouldn't have guessed that I just did it on a whim.

I had just hung all the clothes in the closet and stopped when I received a call from Hu Mei.

As soon as I answered the phone, Hu Mei told me, "I'm at the gate of your villa."

At the door?

Is there something urgent?

To avoid suspicion, Hu Mei never visited.

They came to the villa without prior notice, which made me a little uneasy, worried that something might have happened.

Without considering whether Song Yafei would be unhappy, he immediately had someone open the door and welcome Hu Mei in.

When I came downstairs, Hu Mei saw me and quickly walked towards me, anxiously telling me what was happening.

"Things have gone wrong. Aunt Wang has changed her story."

I panicked instantly, knowing that something must have happened for Hu Mei to rush over so quickly, but I didn't expect things to be worse than I imagined.

"How did he say?"

"She has now changed her story and said that everything was arranged by the director, and that the director was the mastermind."

"The police will soon begin their investigation based on her statement, and in a few days, the headmistress will know everything."

The worst outcome has still occurred.

I slumped onto the sofa, my heart pounding. "How could this have happened? Didn't you say she was going to take the blame for her daughter? How could this happen?"

I can't imagine how devastating it would be if the headmistress knew all this.

Aunt Wang has been by her side for many years. To be betrayed by someone she knows so well for money must be a huge blow to her.

I'm worried that her body won't be able to handle all of this.

"Are you alright?" Hu Mei asked, very worried when she saw me like this.

I shook my head. "What exactly happened?"

"It's still unclear. We don't know where she got the information from, and she suddenly changed her story."

So the investigation will proceed quickly, and we'll find the director's mother soon. The matter is urgent, and there's not much time left.

I grabbed Hu Mei's hand urgently, "What do we do now?"

The only person around me who understands these things is Hu Mei; I don't know anyone else who knows them better than her.

However, the matter is still under investigation, and Hu Mei is not entirely clear about it.

Hu Mei remained silent for a while. Knowing the place the dean held in her heart, she hesitated before speaking.

"Although I don't want to admit it, the only person who can help right now is Song Yafei."

Her clenched fists told me how difficult it must have been for her to say those words.

"As long as she comes forward, the police will step up their efforts to find Aunt Wang's daughter as soon as possible, delaying the domestic investigation and delaying the time it takes for them to find the hospital director."

"It may be difficult, but at least it gives us a glimmer of hope."

what?

Should we still look for Song Yafei?

Just when I decided to break things off with her completely, and we were about to reach that point, she wanted me to go see her again?

I despise myself from the bottom of my heart.

Just as Hu Mei said, it is very difficult, extremely difficult.

Just as Hu Mei and I were both silent, we heard the sound of a car stopping at the door.

A short while later, Song Yafei got out of the car, followed by someone I never expected. I never thought that Yu Chengliang's father would set foot in the villa.

Wasn't Yu Chengliang said to be seriously ill?

What's his father doing here?

Moreover, he looked extremely haggard, his clothes were very sloppy, and even his hair seemed to have been neglected for a long time.

The arrogant air he used to have when we argued was gone from his face.

When Song Yafei came in, Hu Mei said goodbye to me.

I know she doesn't want to have any direct interaction with Song Yafei, and Song Yafei probably feels the same way.

One came in and the other went out. When they met, Hu Mei simply nodded to her in greeting.

When Song Yafei saw her, she turned to look at me with a flash of anger in her eyes, but I couldn't care less about that right now, as all I could think about was the foundation's affairs.
