Gu Jia didn't notice Mrs. Liu's stern look but she was already driving back in the car driven by Chen Xu.
"Sister, why do you look a little unhappy today? I heard from my sister-in-law that pregnant women should smile more, which is good for both adults and children."
Chen Xu was driving the car and saw Gu Jia frowning through the rearview mirror, as if he was thinking about some problem, so he took the initiative to ask.
If he were another driver, he would definitely not ask too much about his employer's affairs, but Chen Xu had been with Gu Jia for several years, and Gu Jia took such good care of her. He truly regarded Gu Jia as a sister, so he asked with great concern.
.
Gu Jia has been thinking about what Mrs. Liu just said to her. She always felt that there was something fishy, but she couldn't figure out what it was for the moment.
"Xiaoqin would tell you this? I think you saw it from somewhere."
"hey-hey."
Gu Jia didn't care either. She knew that Chen Xu deliberately provoked the topic and didn't want to make her unhappy.
"Chen Xu, have you ever heard of a Hong Kong woman named Zhao Jingyu?"
"A woman from Hong Kong Island?"
Chen Xu was confused. He didn't know why Gu Jia asked this question, but he still answered honestly: "I haven't heard of it. What's wrong, Sister Jia, what's wrong with this woman?"
Gu Jia: "I heard from the ladies that there seems to be something wrong with this woman. Chen Xu, do you know anyone who can help investigate this woman?"
Chen Xu asked in confusion: "Sister, if you want to investigate, you can contact Jay Chou. He has a wide network of contacts. There should be very few people in the city that he can't find, right?"
Gu Jiadao: "He has been very busy recently, but it's just a small matter, and I don't want to trouble him."
Chen Xu nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll give it a try."
He has also been in Shanghai for a few years. Although he has always been a driver and has never made a name for himself, he still knows some people from all walks of life.
"Chen Xu, I transferred some money to you, and it will be used as funding for your investigation."
Gu Jia used her prestige to transfer money to Chen Xu, but Chen Xu quickly refused: "No, sister, it won't cost much."
Gu Jia: "It's okay, just keep it. Even if you don't need it this time, you will need it in the future."
"Oh well."
Chen Xu didn't refuse in the end. He was driving. He didn't know how much money Gu Jia had received, but he knew it would be indispensable. However, he also knew that for Gu Jia now, the funds given to him were really equivalent to
Pocket money.
After sending Gu Jia back, Chen Xu began to investigate. At the same time, he also saw that Gu Jia transferred him a total of fifty thousand yuan, which was equivalent to several months of his salary.
After receiving the money, Chen Xu naturally became more serious and started asking people everywhere to inquire.
A few days later, when Chen Xu looked at the information he had obtained, his hands began to tremble. He never expected that this would be the result.
He cried sadly: "What can we do?"
Logically speaking, Gu Jia asked him to investigate, and he should tell Gu Jia the results. But how dare he tell Gu Jia about the results of the investigation? If Zhou Chen knew about it, he couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.
When he encountered such a problem, he couldn't make a decision. The first thing he thought of was to ask his elder brother Chen Yu.
But he quickly gave up the idea. This was Zhou Chen's privacy, and she didn't dare spread it casually.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Xu finally made a decision.
Zhou Chen was currently in a pharmaceutical company, meeting with a group of senior executives. Due to the popularity of two new drugs, the pharmaceutical company had expanded production, and the number of workers in the factory had more than doubled.
With more people, the management level will naturally increase, and many management regulations will also need to be changed, so Zhou Chen needs to coordinate management.
During the meeting, his phone suddenly vibrated. He ignored it and hung up to continue the meeting.
Half an hour later, when the meeting was over, he took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from Chen Xu.
So he called back.
"Dr. Zhou."
"Chen Xu, why did you call me? Is there something wrong?"
"Dr. Jay, I have something very important to tell you. Sister Jia asked me to investigate a person before. She..."
Hearing from Chen Xu that Gu Jia actually knew about the existence of Zhao Jingyu, and also learned about it from his wife, Zhou Chen immediately frowned.
"Have you found out everything?"
"Dr. Jay, don't get me wrong. I didn't know about your relationship with her at the beginning. If I knew, I wouldn't..."
Chen Xu on the other end of the phone was very panicked. He thought it was just a small matter, but he didn't expect that Zhou Chen was involved, and the matter was still like that, which made him really regret helping Gu Jia.
"I know."
Zhou Chen interrupted Chen Xu's explanation and said directly: "You can tell Gu Jia about my relationship with Zhao Jingyu."
"Understood, I will definitely not sue..."
Chen Xu was stunned when he was halfway through speaking, and asked again: "Dr. Zhou, what did you just say?"
Zhou Chen: "I said, you can tell Gu Jia about my relationship with Zhao Jingyu and tell her what you found out. As for more, just say you don't know and don't continue to investigate. Do you understand?"
"But, Director Jay, if I tell Sister Jia, wouldn't you and Sister Jia be the same?"
Chen Xu didn't understand Zhou Chen's thoughts. If he raised a woman outside, he would definitely avoid his wife, but Zhou Chen actually asked him to tell Gu Jia truthfully. What kind of trick is this? Doesn't Zhou Chen not want to be with Sister Jia?
But this thought was quickly thrown away by him. This was absolutely impossible. He knew that Gu Jia was pregnant with Zhou Chen's child, and the two seemed really in love.
"I know it well. Just tell Gu Jia directly and I will make arrangements for Gu Jia."
"Uh, okay."
"Just tell Gu Jia alone. After that, the matter will be rotten in your stomach. Do you understand?"
"clear."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chen did not look too panicked. Paper could not cover the fire. He had long thought that the matter would be exposed. He originally thought that he would have to wait until the old man took the child back, but he did not expect that it would be exposed so soon.
It's useless to stop Chen Xu. Since Gu Jia has doubts in her heart, even if Chen Xu doesn't say anything, she will definitely not give up the investigation. It will only be more troublesome. It is better to solve this problem as soon as possible.
As for Gu Jia learning from the wife circle, he was not surprised. He had taken Zhao Jingyu to several banquets, so it was not surprising that someone knew about his relationship with Zhao Jingyu.
But he was still very unhappy. Those wives were really scheming. In order to hurt Gu Jia, they even involved him. This matter would not go away so easily.
After knowing the truth, how would Gu Jia face him? Zhou Chen could only wait quietly and be ready to adapt accordingly.
After Chen Xu talked to Zhou Chen on the phone, although he was very confused, he did not dare to go against Zhou Chen's words. After thinking about it for a while, he went to find Gu Jia and prepared to tell Gu Jia.
He showed up at the Chenxing Rehabilitation Institution on time. Since it was principal Gu Jia's car, the security guard would not stop him.
After Gu Jia got in the car, Chen Xu did not start the car, but said to Gu Jia: "Sister Jia, I have already found out some of the things you asked me to investigate last time."
Gu Jia has a good memory. He immediately remembered what happened that day, so he immediately asked: "Tell me, what did you investigate?"
"Sister Jia, this, that..."
Although he had made a decision and wanted to speak it out, Chen Xu was still very panicked when he saw Gu Jia's eyes, hesitating and not knowing where to start.
Seeing him like this, Gu Jia suddenly felt something in her heart, and she vaguely guessed the outcome she least expected.
"Stop hesitating, just tell me, your sister, I'm not that fragile, I can withstand any blow no matter how big it is."
Gu Jia's appearance surprised Chen Xu. Was this a premonition?
"Sister Jia, the Zhao Jingyu you asked me to investigate is indeed from Hong Kong, but she is not a celebrity. She and Mr. Zhou..."
Before he could say it completely, Gu Jia's expression had already changed and he asked expressionlessly: "What kind of relationship are they?"
Chen Xu nodded and said: "This Zhao Jingyu is indeed Mr. Zhou's woman, but she is more like a lover. She lives in a villa under Mr. Zhou's name."
Gu Jia took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, but still asked with a slightly trembling voice: "What else? When did they start?"
"According to my friend's investigation, they started last year. It seems that Mr. Zhou met her on a business trip to Hong Kong Island. Later, the woman came to Shanghai on her own, and Mr. Zhou arranged her in his villa.
And, and…”
"And tell me everything." Gu Jia's hands trembled uncontrollably.
It started last year, which means that Zhao Jingyu has been good with Zhou Chen for longer than she has, and Zhou Chen also started pursuing her like a storm even when he had this woman.
At this moment, she felt extremely heartbroken. She felt that she was so stupid and had been deceived by Zhou Chen from beginning to end.
Chen Xu gritted his teeth and said, "Not long ago, that woman gave birth to a boy. If my guess is correct, that child should be Mr. Zhou's."
While speaking, he kept looking at Gu Jia. He saw that Gu Jia's face instantly turned pale and his eyes were dull.
"Sister Jia, Sister Jia, are you okay?"
Chen Xu's cry woke Gu Jia out of her daze. She felt a sharp pain in her heart and her brain was buzzing. This news was really a huge blow to her, compared to when she learned that Xu Huanshan had cheated.
Not bad at all.
"Is the news accurate?"
Hearing that Gu Jia's voice had changed, Chen Xu could only reply awkwardly: "That's right, Sister Jia, I don't dare to say such things."
Seeing Gu Jia's body trembling uncontrollably, he was afraid that something would happen to Gu Jia, so he quickly advised: "Sister Jia, don't be angry. Don't be angry. You are still pregnant. It will be bad if you hurt the child."
Gu Jia, who felt like he was going to explode, suddenly trembled after hearing Chen Xu's words of advice, and unconsciously touched his abdomen with his hands.
Yes, she is pregnant. This is a very healthy baby, which is being gestated in her body. If she has any violent reaction, it is very likely to hurt the baby.
After taking several deep breaths back and forth, Gu Jia endured the severe pain and calmed down her emotions.
"Chen Xu, you did a good job. You found out about this matter and didn't help him hide it from me. You are very good."
Chen Xu felt ashamed after being praised by Gu Jia. He had already told Zhou Chen. If Zhou Chen hadn't asked him to tell him, he wouldn't have dared to tell Gu Jia the truth.
"Sister, what are you going to do?"
Gu Jia said coldly: "My husband raised a woman outside and had a child. If you were me, what would you do?"
"this?"
Chen Xu had a wry smile on his face. He was a man. How could he know what a woman was thinking? A woman's heart was like a needle in the sea. This was not just something to say casually.
"Sister, you have taken such good care of me these past few years. I have long regarded you as my own sister. If you want to listen to my opinion, I will definitely be on your side."
Gu Jia's expression relaxed slightly. Although this Chen Xu is sometimes a bit messy, he is still relatively reliable. She has been able to use Chen Xu for several years not just because he is the younger brother of her best friend, but because Chen Xu is really capable.
.
"However, sister, I think you still need to clarify the ins and outs of the matter first. Mr. Zhou is indeed sorry for you and hid it from you, but I think this is because he cares about you too much and is afraid that you will know this.
Yes, I left him, so I chose to hide it."
Gu Jia sneered: "Are you trying to excuse him? Or are you saying that you are a man, so you understand him?"
"Sister, I said, I must be on your side. You are very angry now, so you can't think clearly about many things. But I investigated it, so I know very well that in fact, the time Mr. Zhou spent with that woman should be
Before being with you, before being with you, that woman had been pregnant for several months."
"I think that woman must have used the child as a threat to make Mr. Zhou compromise. I also heard that the reason why Mr. Zhou allowed it was because the news of the woman's pregnancy was known to Mr. Zhou's grandfather. Mr. Zhou must speak.
To be born."
"So, sister, I think the person Mr. Zhou loves must be you. Otherwise, he would just marry that woman. How could he pursue you like that? He would even agree to whatever you ask for. A big shot like him,
If you get married without a wedding, I don’t know how many people will laugh at you; but he doesn’t care at all, it’s because he loves you.”
"Sister, I'm not speaking for Mr. Zhou, but I feel that Mr. Zhou's behavior is different in nature from that of Mr. Xu."
Gu Jia listened to Chen Xu expressionlessly, and then sat on the car. Chen Xu didn't dare to disturb him, so he waited quietly.
After a long time, Gu Jia opened her eyes, and her eyes returned to their usual confidence and sassiness, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"Chen Xu, let's drive home."
After hearing Gu Jia's calm words, Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was really sweating.
If Gu Jia couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't be able to explain to Zhou Chen what happened.
He just had to ensure that nothing would happen to Gu Jia after hearing the news. As for what would happen after he returned, it was beyond his control.
Zhou Chen returned home early today and took the initiative to pick up Xu Ziyan from the kindergarten.
"Daddy, daddy."
Xu Ziyan rushed out of the kindergarten, screaming and rushing towards Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen hugged him and asked with a smile: "Are you obedient in the kindergarten today?"
"Be obedient. Look, the little red flower the teacher rewards."
Looking at the little red flowers, Zhou Chen sighed with emotion. Over the years, whether in big cities or small towns, the tradition of little red flowers in kindergartens has continued and is enduring.
Xu Ziyan has now completely adapted to Zhou Chen's 'father'. He keeps calling him daddy, as if he has forgotten his biological father.
After telling the teacher, Zhou Chen took Xu Ziyan back.
After several worlds, Zhou Chen has had several children, and he is used to hearing his father, but this is really the first time that other people's children call him father.
Everyone wants to be Lao Wang, but no one wants to be Lao Wang’s neighbor.
Although Xu Ziyan is not his own child, Zhou Chen still likes Xu Ziyan because he is well-behaved and obedient, and he is very good to him.
When he got home, Zhou Chen took Xu Ziyan to play with him. As for what would happen to Gu Jia when he came back, he was not worried.
He knew that Gu Jia was the kind of sensible person, and even if she encountered such a thing, she would definitely not make a fuss with Xu Ziyan in front of him.
If there was really any noise, it would only be when Xu Ziyan was not around.
In addition to Zhou Chen and Gu Jia's mother and son, Yang's mother also lives in the villa.
In the past, Zhou Chen was just a person and did not need Ma Yang to stay at home. But now that there are children at home, and Gu Jia is pregnant again, he still needs a nanny who is always there, so Ma Yang stayed in the villa.
.
Because Xu Ziyan’s kindergarten is very close, Yang’s mother is usually responsible for picking up and dropping off Xu Ziyan.
Chen Xu sent Gu Jia to the villa and then ran away. He wanted to stay. If there was a quarrel, he might be able to persuade him, but he didn't have the courage.
Along the way, Gu Jia's emotions had calmed down. She thought too much, but in the end she didn't have a good idea of how to face Zhou Chen.
