The Ex-Wife Of A Wealthy/Powerful Family Tempts Me To Treat Her Badly/Betray Her - Chapter 44

Chapter 44: It’s her.

This was far too coincidental.

They were both named Rong Wei and were both related to the Jinsheng Group, as if there was some profound, intricate connection between them.

Could they be the same person?

A terrifying thought popped into Jiang Yu’s mind. She looked up again at the location displayed above, greeted Ji Zhou, and then took out her phone to call Lin Yao.

“Yao Yao, do you remember where my marriage certificate is?”

On the other end of the line, Lin Yao was silent for a moment: “After you finalized the paperwork that year, you gave the relevant documents to me. When I returned to the country, I put them in your safe deposit box where you keep things.”

“What’s wrong?”

Jiang Yu shook her head: “Nothing, I just suddenly discovered something interesting.”

After asking her question, Jiang Yu hung up the phone.

Ji Zhou was one of the few people who knew about her contractual marriage back then. After the call ended, she asked, “Aren’t you going to finalize the paperwork in a few days? Why are you looking for the certificate today?”

“I might have something to confirm.”

Ji Zhou raised an eyebrow at her but was tactful enough not to ask further: “In that case, let’s go back.”

Jiang Yu put away her phone and looked at Ji Zhou: “No rush.”

“I’ll go back to the company for another look.”

After returning, Ji Zhou was mostly awake. They chatted about the upcoming fashion show and the subsequent release process for some ready-to-wear clothing. Jiang Yu went home at nine in the evening.

On the way back, she checked the time and sent a WeChat message to Rong Wei, who was far away in a foreign country.

【Are you busy right now?】

On the other end of the phone, it was exactly nine in the morning in Li City. Coincidentally, Rong Wei had just finished a meeting.

She felt surprised by the message from Jiang Yu.

After all, Jiang Yu rarely messaged her, except on Saturdays.

Rong Wei responded to her assistant, picked up her phone, and replied: 【Just finished a meeting. What is it?】

Her phone vibrated. Jiang Yu looked at Rong Wei’s message and suddenly felt a bit at a loss for words.

She felt an inexplicable and complex emotion.

She edited her message for a while before finally sending it: 【I just saw the Jinsheng Group office building in the High-Tech Zone. It immediately made me think of you.】

Seeing the message from Jiang Yu, Rong Wei’s eyes paused.

She had an excellent memory and remembered that the address Jiang Yu mentioned was the exact address she had given Jiang Yu years ago.

At that time, she and Jiang Yu were practically strangers. At most, she was just curious about her, so she certainly wouldn’t have given her home address.

She stopped walking, gave her assistant a look, signaling them to leave first, and then sent a voice message.

“I don’t work there often and am not familiar with the area.”

“I see.”

“The Jinsheng building is very impressive. CEO Rong has good taste.”

“See you in Li City?”

After listening to Jiang Yu’s voice message, Rong Wei replied with an affirmative text, turned off her phone screen, and returned to the office.

The assistant, seeing Rong Wei return, spoke: “CEO Rong, the flight back to Lin City has been arranged for eight a.m. on the 29th.”

“The relevant video conferences have also been scheduled.”

Rong Wei gave a soft “Mhm,” and the assistant left her side.

Returning to her seat, Rong Wei went to the water cooler for a cup of water. Drinking the cool water should have been a very refreshing experience.

But at this moment, Rong Wei’s eyelid inexplicably twitched twice, making her feel restless.

She glanced at the phone placed on her desk and an idea emerged.

Perhaps she needed to find some time to clarify the matter of their marriage with Jiang Yu.

…

About an hour later, Jiang Yu returned home.

The house had a constant temperature system, so the temperature wasn’t high. Coming in from the hot environment, Jiang Yu felt instantly refreshed.

She was meticulous about cleanliness, and couldn’t tolerate the sticky feeling on her body after going out.

The marriage certificate was in the safe and wouldn’t run away.

Jiang Yu simply went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

She had already showered once when she returned at noon. This time was just a quick rinse, and she left the bathroom after only twenty minutes.

After getting ready, Jiang Yu was about to head to the study when her phone vibrated.

Jiang Yu picked up her phone and frowned when she saw the caller ID.

She casually lit a cigarette and answered the call. Qin Yuanshan’s voice came through the receiver.

“Xiao Yu, did you return to the country today?”

“Have you eaten? Do you want to come home for a meal?”

What nerve did Qin Yuanshan hit wrong this time?

Jiang Yu frowned, exhaled a smoke ring: “CEO Qin, your sincerity is a bit lacking. It’s already ten o’clock at night.”

For a moment, Qin Yuanshan had no reaction, then gave a sheepish laugh, and said, “It is indeed a bit late. My mistake as a father.”

“Just get to the point.”

When Qin Yuanshan called her, it was usually not for a good reason.

“The Qijiang project is about to start, isn’t it? Coincidentally, your sister is also returning to the country tomorrow. See if there’s any chance to help her out.”

Jiang Yu burst out laughing, flicked the cigarette ash: “CEO Qin, do I need to remind you that she and I have only met a few times?”

“When I was very young, didn’t you say that I had no relation to you, her, or the Qin family?”

Qin Yuanshan on the other end fell silent immediately.

Actually, originally, Jiang Yu was just unable to get close to Qin Yuanshan and was somewhat annoyed by him.

But Qin Yuanshan had never done anything to truly hurt her; he had only failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father.

Even her own mother wasn’t that good to her, so Jiang Yu didn’t harbor any expectations.

There was no need for a total break in their relationship.

But these past few times, Qin Yuanshan had become increasingly excessive, challenging her bottom line repeatedly.

Qin Yuanshan on the other end clearly hadn’t expected Jiang Yu to be so utterly direct, and he was speechless for a moment.

“I’m hanging up.” Jiang Yu lightly ended the call, stubbed out the cigarette, and irritably rubbed her temples for a moment.

After standing in place for a while, Jiang Yu walked to the study.

She rarely came to this study, but as it was her home base, it stored many of her important documents.

Jiang Yu sat down at the desk and opened the safe.

Inside were some of her property deeds and the most expensive top-grade Imperial Green necklace.

A thin red booklet lay there, looking somewhat out of place.

Jiang Yu picked up the red booklet, and her heart suddenly started beating very fast.

What if she opened this certificate and found that the two Rong Weis were the same person? What should she do then?

Jiang Yu instinctively bit her lip, then took a deep breath, and decisively opened the marriage certificate.

On the marriage certificate, there was a standard red background photo.

And the person in that photo was none other than the woman who had entangled with her for so many nights.
