Ding Ruola was mentally exhausted because of this incident. When she got home, she didn't say more than a few words to Fang Siyan. Then she went back to her room to deal with her own affairs.
Secrets emerged between the couple. The wife didn't want to ask, and the husband didn't want to tell. So they just kept silent.
Fang Siyan went back to the room and took out the documents he had signed back then from the safe. He looked at the project terms on it, with an amount of 400 million.
This amount meant nothing to Fang Siyan, as he dealt with such amounts every day.
The project above had stopped. Junrong Group had gone bankrupt, so this project had to be halted.
Due to the policy at that time, Fang Siyan couldn't take over the project after Junrong Group declared bankruptcy.
The next day, they did what they usually did as if nothing had happened.
However, there was no interaction between them.
Ding Ruola came to the studio and checked the attendance records of the employees. Suddenly, she remembered that Jiang Chen had been three months pregnant when she asked for leave, and three months had passed since then.
She had learned about pregnancy when she was trying to conceive. Only when a pregnant woman was over five months pregnant would the fetus be basically stable. Visiting a pregnant woman at this time wouldn't cause any burden on her body.
Since she was not in the mood to work, it was okay to visit an employee.
Ding Ruola found Jiang Chen's employee information and located her address.
She still didn't have the courage to drive, so she hailed a taxi.
She knew that there used to be a textile factory in the east of the city, and this area could be regarded as an old neighborhood. But she didn't expect Jiang Chen to live in such a shabby place.
The former family building was already decades old.
The yellowish walls were covered with ivy on one side. Ding Ruola walked a few steps in the community, and the more she walked, the more scared she felt.
Most of the people living here were old people. Every step Ding Ruola took, their eyes would follow her.
"Excuse me, how can I get to Jiang Chen's home?"
Ding Ruola thought that instead of being stared at by these people, she might as well just go up and ask.
"That young girl? It's on the seventh floor, Unit 3 of the building in front."
Just as she was about to leave, she heard the old lady behind her say something really unpleasant - "This young girl doesn't look like a good person."
Ding Ruola felt a bit uncomfortable when she heard the old lady's words, and she quickened her pace.
After entering the building, Ding Ruola smelled a strong musty odor. She covered her nose with her sleeve. There was no elevator in this building, so she had to climb the stairs.
She hadn't climbed stairs for a long time. By the time she reached the third floor, she was already out of breath.
She took a few deep breaths, stayed on the third floor for a while, and then continued to climb.
The air in the whole building was so thin.
Knock, knock, knock!
"Who is it?"
Jiang Chen didn't have any precautions. She just opened the door. When she saw Ding Ruola, she was stunned for a moment.
"Come in!"
Ding Ruola carried the things she brought and put them in the kitchen. She walked around the room and found that there was no one else.
Was Jiang Chen living alone?
This shouldn't be the case! So who was the father of the child?
With such questions in mind, Ding Ruola wondered whether she should ask Jiang Chen who the father of the child was.
After struggling for a long time, she didn't ask.
When she was pouring water for Jiang Chen, she noticed a photo on the table. The people in the photo were Jiang Chen and Fang Siyan.
The girl's pupils dilated. She turned it over and saw the date written on the back.
It was a thing of six years ago.
"Ah Chen, you knew Lao Fang a long time ago!"
Why didn't she know about this? Fang Siyan had never mentioned it.
"It was because of work."
Jiang Chen originally wanted to lie and brush this matter off, but then she noticed that Ding Ruola was looking through an album.
This album was made when that project was first launched.
All the people who should be in it were there.
Jiang Chen had no choice but to confess. She didn't know the specific details of what happened back then. She just did the accounting as required, and the subsequent matters were out of her control.
"Is this Song Han?"
It was indeed Song Han, and Jiang Chen didn't deny it.
Ding Ruola stared at the photo. The men beside Song Han were Yin Han and Fang Siyan.
What was the relationship between this woman and these two men?
"Can you tell me the truth?"
"It may not be the whole truth. It's just what I know."
Jiang Chen wasn't the leader of this project, so what she knew was limited.
Back then, video websites started to boom. Fang Siyan got his first pot of gold and took a fancy to the Song family's project.
At first, the project was making a profit, but it didn't last long. The project started to incur losses.
Fang Siyan realized that something was wrong at that time, but all his funds were trapped. However, the Song family still wanted to get more money from him.
Although the man was young and inexperienced, he wasn't a fool. This was obviously a trap!
So he refused to invest. He thought that because of Song Han's relationship with Yin Han, Yin Han should help. But unexpectedly, Yin Han didn't do anything.
The reason was simple. Song Yan's father had forced Yin Han's father to death in order to embezzle assets.
This kind of feud made Yin Han very indifferent to the whole thing.
After that, the Song family went bankrupt, and Song Han committed suicide due to depression.
"That's it?"
"That's it!"
This was all that Jiang Chen knew, and she told Ding Ruola every bit of it.
Such a simple thing. Why didn't Fang Siyan want to tell her? Ding Ruola felt that the problem couldn't be this simple.
But she was still very grateful that Jiang Chen was willing to tell her this information.
Later in the day, she got home. Fang Siyan hadn't come back yet.
She stood in front of the study door, her eyes fixed on the safe inside. She knew there must be a secret in it.
"What are you looking at?"
Fang Siyan had just entered the house and saw Ding Ruola standing at the door looking inside. He was too anxious and his tone was a bit harsh.
When Ding Ruola heard Fang Siyan's voice, she was so scared that she trembled.
She shrank her neck, slowly turned around, and forced a bright but fake smile on her face.
Her eyes stayed on Fang Siyan's face, and she observed the man's expression all the time.
"Lao Fang! You're back so early today!"
"Early? Where did you go today?"
Fang Siyan accidentally let the cat out of the bag because of his anger. It was Crodia who had told him that Ding Ruola had left.
"How do you know?"
The girl quickly realized there was something wrong with this sentence.
"I went to the studio today and you weren't there!"
Ding Ruola gave Fang Siyan a suspicious look. She felt there was no need to hide it from Fang Siyan. Since Jiang Chen had already told her, she didn't think it was a big deal. So she told Fang Siyan what Jiang Chen had said.
"That's it?"
"You should know what you've done!"
Fang Siyan looked at the girl's face. There was no hesitation on it. It seemed that she believed Jiang Chen's version.
He had been thinking about how to tell Ding Ruola today. He didn't expect that Ding Ruola had already solved this problem by herself.
"This isn't your fault. Why didn't you tell me?"
"I felt very guilty at that time. I didn't expect..."
Fang Siyan didn't continue. He deliberately left it blank for Ding Ruola to guess.
