Chapter 1568: Chapter 1299: She Couldn’t Bear to Hurt Him (Part 2)

Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered, "You... know me?"

The other person furrowed his brows and said, "I’ve had a few encounters with Mr. Song... Anyway, are you looking to hitch a ride? Jump in first!"

Shi Nuan quickly responded and opened the car door to get in.

Once seated in the car, she said, "Sir, could I borrow your phone for a moment?"

The other person frowned slightly, nodded, and said, "Sure!"

The phone was unlocked and handed over. Shi Nuan studied economics and had a keen sensitivity to numbers, almost never forgetting them.

She hadn’t deliberately remembered Shen Zui’s number, but she indeed knew it.

She quickly dialed Shen Zui’s number, but the call showed that the phone was turned off.

She closed her eyes, thought for a moment, and then dialed Qi Ruison’s number, finally getting an answer.

"Hello?"

"Hello? Qi Ruison? It’s Shi Nuan!"

The person hesitated for a moment and then said, "You... you changed your number? I was wondering why I couldn’t reach you!"

Shi Nuan didn’t have time to explain much to Qi Ruison and directly asked, "Do you know where Shen Zui is now?"

Qi Ruison said, "Of course I know, I’m at Shen Zui’s place now, but I can’t see him. He’s locked himself in his room, won’t see anyone, and we’re all here worried sick!"

Qi Ruison continued, "Also, Shi Nuan, you and Shen Zui... you guys... are you for real? Right now Shen Zui just keeps saying sorry to you, not providing any other explanation, and we’re all very confused. Are those photos that circulated online real?"

Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered, "Photos? What photos?"

Shen Zui hesitated again, "You don’t know? It’s the photos of you and Shen Zui... you and Shen Zui... forget it, I can’t bring myself to say it!"

Shi Nuan’s heart trembled slightly. Earlier, she clung to the last shred of hope, believing Yu Yao wouldn’t be that cruel. Yes, she wouldn’t be that cruel.

After all, she’s Song Yansheng’s wife, the daughter-in-law of the Song Family. At least for the sake of the family’s reputation, she wouldn’t do such a thing.

But now the truth slapped her in the face. She was actually framed by someone she respected as an elder!

All because she hid an unborn child? Is it just due to this that Yu Yao hates her with such ferocity?

Shi Nuan yearns for familial affection. Marrying Song Yansheng, she felt warmth she never experienced before. This warmth came from Song Yansheng and likewise from Yu Yao.

But she never imagined everything would turn out this way!

She took a deep, steady breath, trying to suppress the pain in her heart, and then asked, word by word, "Tell me right now, Shen Zui’s exact address!"

...

Aunt Wu went inside the house looking for Shi Nuan’s coat. Not finding it in the bedroom, she proceeded to the study.

Finally, finding it on the daybed in the study, she hurried downstairs.

But stepping out the door, she didn’t see Shi Nuan in the front yard.

She figured Shi Nuan might have been impatient and gone to the backyard first, so she went to check the backyard.

But after searching for a while and finding nothing, her heart trembled, instantly realizing she had made a mistake.

She quickly ran towards the front gate, but given her age, even trying her best, it wasn’t fast enough.

Reaching the front gate, there was still no sight of Shi Nuan.

She trembled, nearly losing her balance if not for holding onto the gate.

She knew this time she had indeed caused a great mishap!

...

The car Shi Nuan hitched a ride on took her all the way to her destination.

Shi Nuan was grateful for this. The other person, however, was unperturbed and said, "No need to be so polite, and given your current situation, taking a taxi isn’t quite suitable."

After speaking, he pulled a mask from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "You can wear this when you get off later!"

Shi Nuan thanked him, took the mask, and got off the car.

The man watched Shi Nuan leaving and sighed lightly.

She seemed like a pretty decent girl, how could she have done such things?

But isn’t the internet saying she and Shen Zui are first loves? Probably old feelings are hard to forget!

Look, when things just went wrong, instead of staying put at home, she’s out looking for Shen Zui!

Song Yansheng is known for his shrewdness, how did he marry such an unwise young girl?

After hesitating slightly, the person still found Song Yansheng’s contact information from his address book.

To be precise, it was Song Yansheng’s assistant, Chi Rui’s contact information.

They had known each other, and he had many business dealings where he relied on Song Yansheng, so he thought he might as well do him a favor.

...

Song Yansheng, on his side, was working hard with Gu Zheng to find Yu Yao’s whereabouts.

As Yan Ke had pointed out, Gu Zheng was savvy and calculating, having premeditated with the teahouse harboring a secret passage.
