Bai Wenxi caught the underlying meaning in the detective's words. "You mean my dad was actually unaware of all her maneuvers?"
Min Tete was quite confident. "That's what I think. No man would be that stupid."
"A husband wouldn't be so willing to get his hands dirty and help with illegal stuff while his wife is constantly pulling small tricks."
Bai Wenxi's heart sank. She pressed on, "Can we dig out more insider information about Wu Qishan?"
"It's really difficult to uncover the mastermind behind him," Min Tete said truthfully. "The information I've managed to find about him so far is thanks to the clues from Ms. Yao."
"This guy is very mysterious and cautious. It's hard to get any information about him even from the underworld."
Bai Wenxi was a bit dejected. "I understand, Mr. Min. Thank you anyway."
Min Tete had received a generous fee from her and was quite responsible. "I'll definitely keep chasing the clues. I also ask Miss Bai to go through your father's financial situation."
"Especially this Moon Island Investment Co., Ltd. Setting up an investment company on a remote, pristine island? I really don't get it."
Bai Wenxi decided to reveal the truth. "Actually, the other legal representative, Su Xingfei, is my biological mother."
"She passed away a long time ago. I should be the heir to that island, but I've temporarily let my father use it."
Min Tete felt a glimmer of hope. He excitedly suggested, "You can go to Moon Island and take another look. See if there really is a company there."
"The island has been registered by Ms. Yao for years. It might have changed a lot."
Just then, the sound of a car horn came from outside.
Bai Wenxi opened the window and saw Jiang Beihuai's license plate. She quickly said goodbye to Min Tete, "I have to hang up. I'll visit Moon Island soon."
"I'm really sorry to trouble you. Once this is all sorted out, my uncle and I will definitely invite you to dinner."
Min Tete readily agreed, and Bai Wenxi hung up the phone.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Jiang Beihuai, but the whole thing was too terrifying.
She had already experienced Yao Chunmei's cunning, so she didn't want Jiang Beihuai to get caught up in this dangerous whirlpool.
"Knock, knock."
Jiang Beihuai's deliberately soft voice came, "A Wen, can I come in?"
Bai Wenxi put the safe back behind the painting and composed herself. "Come in."
Jiang Beihuai carefully opened the door. "Try the dinner I brought you. I even bought some mineral water specially."
"This house hasn't been lived in for a long time. The water pipes are full of rust."
When he opened the lunch box, the steak inside was still steaming.
Bai Wenxi took a deep breath of the aroma. Suddenly, her nose felt a bit sour. "Thank you!"
Jiang Beihuai was caught off guard by her formality. "Don't be so polite with me. It's only right for me to do these things for you."
Staring at his wife's profile as she ate seriously, Jiang Beihuai felt nothing but joy. His heart was filled with warmth.
"A Wen, when are you free? Take me to pay respects at your mother's grave."
His clear eyes were full of longing. "I want to know more about your world."
Bai Wenxi fell silent. After all, she had just eaten his food.
Jiang Beihuai's heart was pounding. He was afraid that Bai Wenxi would flat-out reject him.
Seeing the fine beads of sweat on her husband's forehead, Bai Wenxi couldn't help but giggle behind her hand.
"Got it. I'll take you to pay respects to mom before we leave."
Jiang Beihuai was relieved. He smiled and gently kissed Bai Wenxi's lips.
"You scared me. I thought you wouldn't agree just now."
Jiang Beihuai's handsome face was as red as a cooked shrimp.
"If you had rejected me without a second thought, I would have been so embarrassed that I'd want to run away."
Bai Wenxi pushed the water bottle she had drunk from in front of him. "Drink some water to cool down."
Her eyes were curved like crescent moons. The joy in her heart was so intense that it made her feel a bit sad. "Your face is so red."
Jiang Beihuai took the water bottle with his slender fingers and took a sip. He stared intently at her bright smile.
Suddenly, he tickled her. "So you were making fun of me. Are you still going to laugh at me?"
Bai Wenxi burst into laughter. "I dare not. Please, please spare me."
"Hahaha, I'm really ticklish. Spare me."
The two of them chased each other around and tickled each other, laughing and hugging.
For a long time, Bai Wenxi had been haunted by so many negative emotions. It was rare for her to laugh so freely.
After a while, she stopped laughing and covered her stomach, complaining of pain.
"I laughed too hard. I just need to catch my breath," she said. Jiang Beihuai rubbed her back to help her calm down.
In the past, in their wedding room, there were so many servants around. It was actually less comfortable than here in Xuancheng.
Jiang Beihuai lay casually on the sofa in the study, reading the financial reports of Jiang Group with great interest.
Bai Wenxi was opening the letters one by one, stealing glances at him from time to time.
"If you want to look at me, just say so. Don't be so sneaky," Jiang Beihuai said cockily as he turned over, exposing his well-defined face to the light.
"So, isn't your husband handsome?"
Bai Wenxi retorted rebelliously. "No, he's not!"
"He's too effeminate. I don't like it!"
Her big, bright eyes blinked non-stop. "How did you know I was coming here? Were you following me all the way?"
Jiang Beihuai tried hard to hide his nervousness. "It's not following. That's such an ugly word."
"I was just worried about you. You were in such a bad state at that time. I advised you to rest at home, but you refused. So I had to find out where you were and protect you secretly."
Actually, Bai Wenxi wasn't really angry. They had basically been in a cold war at that time.
It was understandable that he was worried and followed her.
"I called Manager Li. He told me you had gone to Xuancheng. Then I called Yu Ning. As soon as she heard Xuancheng, she knew you must be at your mother's old house," Jiang Beihuai said pitifully.
"So it's really not following. I just drove here according to the navigation she gave me."
Afraid that Bai Wenxi would think he didn't respect her, Jiang Beihuai explained at great length, fearing that his wife would hold a grudge.
Seeing his lingering fear and pale lips, Bai Wenxi had already forgiven him in her heart.
"I didn't want you to come because I really had something to do. If I was just coming here to stay for a few days, I would definitely have called you."
Hearing this explanation, Jiang Beihuai finally felt relieved.
He obediently cupped his cheeks. His dimples were so deep that they seemed to be filled with happiness.
"I'm so glad you've accepted me again," Jiang Beihuai sniffed. "I thought you'd never talk to me again."
Bai Wenxi just smiled without saying a word, her eyes full of tenderness.
Jiang Beihuai started to overthink again and became nervous.
He swore to the sky, "Wenxi, believe me. I'll definitely treat you well."
"Just wait and see my actions in the future."
Bai Wenxi smiled faintly. "Now, I need to deal with these letters. Don't disturb me."
Jiang Beihuai held up the financial report high. "Of course. I also have my own work to do."
The two of them sat in different corners, immersed in their own things.
In the study, there was an atmosphere of peace and contentment.
