Chapter 1427 - 1249: Changing the Way of Addressing?
After the wedding banquet, Shi Yuanbo and Li Guirong also left to return to the Shi Family.
Li Guirong observed Shi Yuanbo’s expression throughout the journey.
Compared to others’ shock and disbelief, Shi Yuanbo showed more worry and sighs.
This made Li Guirong very suspicious; could it be that Shi Yuanbo already knew about Shi Nuan marrying Song Yansheng?
After all, when she and her daughter Shi Jiaojiao were detained at the police station due to the false accusation against Shi Nuan, they had no idea what was happening outside.
And why would someone like Song Yansheng marry Shi Nuan?
She couldn’t believe it wouldn’t involve Shi Yuanbo’s arrangements.
But at this point, she dared not ask Shi Yuanbo, because more than asking him, she wanted to question another person.
Once the car arrived at the Shi Family, Shi Yuanbo said he was a bit tired and went upstairs to rest.
Li Guirong wanted to accompany him, but he waved her off.
So, Li Guirong didn’t insist.
After Shi Yuanbo went upstairs, Li Guirong went to the backyard, took out her phone, and dialed a number.
The first call was hung up; she wasn’t in a hurry and waited patiently. Sure enough, five minutes later, the other party called back.
"Why are you calling at this time? Don’t you know I’m busy now?"
"Busy? Busy with what? Your daughter is already married off, what else could you be busy with? Or are you busy covering up the Song Family’s scandal?"
The other side replied, "What Song Family scandal? That’s Song Yansheng’s scandal; it has nothing to do with the Song Family. Just tell me, why are you calling now?"
"Well, nothing much. It’s just that I suspect Shi Yuanbo already knew about Shi Nuan marrying Song Yansheng, but she kept it from me. Why? Doesn’t it seem strange to you?"
The other party pondered for a moment, nodding, "Yes, it does seem a bit strange. Also, didn’t you say he’s been very cold to you lately? Looks like he’s been guarding against you for a while now!"
Li Guirong furrowed her brows, "Why would he guard against me for no reason? Apart from what I did half a year ago, I haven’t done anything else. He can’t be guarding against me just because of what happened six months ago, can he? But the timing doesn’t match; after that incident, I returned home. Although he was still somewhat angry with me, with Tian Chao around, he didn’t really distance himself from me..."
"Maybe the problem lies with Tian Chao. Perhaps, he found out Tian Chao isn’t his biological child?"
Li Guirong was startled and immediately retorted, "H... How is that possible? How could he know? It’s impossible..."
"There’s always a chance. What if he found out?"
Li Guirong’s face turned even more unpleasant as she said, "But... but he’s only cold to me. He’s still as good to Tian Chao as ever!"
"Then it’s likely he’s discovered evidence of your infidelity?"
Li Guirong’s expression became more panicked: "I think there... there might be a possibility. What should I do now? If he really found out, whether the company will still be passed to Tian Chao is uncertain. Besides, he’s only cold to me now, but what if one day he suddenly decides to conduct a paternity test for Tian Chao? Then both Tian Chao and I will be in big trouble... Zhongming, you can’t ignore us, mother and son. Tian Chao is your son, your only son!"
The man on the other side slightly furrowed his brows, and after a while, he said, "Don’t worry, I have it under control. I won’t let anything happen to you and Tian Chao... Anyway, I have some matters to attend to now, let’s not discuss this further. Call me if you need anything..."
Li Guirong quickly stopped him: "Wait..."
The man paused for a moment, asking, "What? Do you have more to say?"
"Yes, of course... It’s just that Shi Nuan married Song Yansheng; did you just find out about this, or have you known for a while?"
"I’ve known for a while, since the day Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan registered their marriage..."
"Then why didn’t you tell me?"
"Because Shi Yuanbo knew too. How was I supposed to know he hadn’t told you? Even if you knew, what difference would it make? What’s the point? Anyway, I really have things to do now, let’s not talk about this any further. I’m hanging up!"
The other party finished speaking and hung up right away, not waiting for Li Guirong to respond.
Li Guirong held the phone, her brows furrowed.
A constant sense of unease lingered within.
Shi Yuanbo neglecting her definitely has a reason.
If the issue isn’t related to Tian Chao, then it must be something about herself.
Worst case scenario, if... if Shi Yuanbo really found out about her infidelity.
What would she do then? What could she do?
No, she can’t just sit and wait for misfortune; she can’t just wait to be abandoned by Shi Yuanbo.
There are things she must do, whether it’s for Tian Chao or for herself!
