Chapter 177 I want to see who's behind this.
Zhang Xinru and Wang Ma returned to the villa with romance novels in their arms, and immediately sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xinru asked softly, her eyes full of doubt.
"I don't know!" Wang Ma also looked bewildered.
They nervously looked around, a sense of unease rising within them.
It seems that Fu Xiaochen and Ye Jiajia have started arguing again.
The two of them furtively clutched their books and quickly ran into the bedroom.
Wang Ma searched for newspapers or something similar, "to cover a book."
Zhang Xinru: "..."
"No need, it's just a few books, not that expensive. You can just throw them away after you're done reading. I'll buy you more if you like them."
"No, it has to be wrapped up so that no one else can see it."
Wang Ma was afraid that others would see the books she had bought. In her opinion, good things should be kept secret and not discovered.
Little did they know, Dr. Zhao had already seen through their actions.
"What are they holding in their arms? They're afraid to let anyone see. I must go and see what they're up to when I get the chance."
Dr. Zhao pondered to himself.
These past two days, he's been very upset about what's happening at the hospital. He doesn't know where all these people who cause trouble for medical staff have come from; it seems like they're organized and premeditated, one after another.
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed fatigue and worry.
Fu Xiaochen was also overwhelmed by company affairs, with various problems coming one after another, leaving him unable to cope.
The servants in the villa were unaware of these matters, and he didn't tell Ye Jiajia either.
Fu Xiaochen and Dr. Zhao felt that the other party was specifically targeting them, otherwise they wouldn't have been involved in the same incident at the same time!
Knock knock knock!
There was a knock on the study door.
Fu Xiaochen pinched the bridge of his nose. "Come in!"
Dr. Zhao pushed open the door and entered, truthfully reporting the results of his subordinates' investigation.
"Young master, all the servants have been checked, and there are no problems."
"Including the gardener who had been under supervision, there have been no further actions taken since then."
The bees that suddenly appeared in the garden last time were the work of one of the gardeners.
After investigating, Fu Xiaochen didn't let anyone alert the person, wanting to see what they would do next. Unexpectedly, there has been no movement so far.
"Oh? You didn't ask him what his purpose was in doing this?"
Dr. Zhao: "The result of the interrogation by my subordinates is that this gardener did this simply to teach the headmaster a lesson, because he couldn't stand the headmaster's bossy attitude every day."
Fu Xiaochen said coldly, "Have people continue investigating. Find out who he has been in contact with, and don't let any clue slip by."
"Also, you need to find out what happened at the hospital. I'll handle things at the company. I want to see who's behind this."
Dr. Zhao nodded. "Yes, young master."
Then, as if remembering something, he opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
Seeing Dr. Zhao standing there in a daze, Fu Xiaochen looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Is there something else?"
Dr. Zhao shook his head. "No, I'll go to the hospital right away."
Remembering what Zhang Ma and Wang Ma had been suspiciously carrying, Dr. Zhao didn't say anything. He decided to wait until he found out before revealing anything.
He didn't believe that Zhang Ma would do anything to harm the young master.
Fu Xiaochen has been busy with company matters these past few days, leaving early and returning late, which has made Ye Jiajia a little suspicious.
She suspected that Fu Xiaochen was hiding something from her.
During dinner that evening, Ye Jiajia asked about it.
"Fu Xiaochen, why have you been coming home so late lately? Are you busy with work?"
Fu Xiaochen didn't want to talk much about company matters, afraid that Ye Jiajia would worry. He smiled faintly, seemingly relaxed, but unable to hide the fatigue in his eyes.
"Yes, I've been quite busy at work lately. I'll spend more time with you after I'm done."
Then he looked at Zhang Ma and the others, "If you feel bored, let Zhang Ma and Wang Ma keep you company. Go out for a walk when you have time. You must be bored staying at home for so long."
Zhang Xinru also sensed something was wrong lately; neither Fu Xiaochen nor Ye Jiajia had gone mad.
Why is there a calm before the storm? Is it just her imagination?
Wang Ma felt that she had wasted the time reading novels these past few days. Ever since she read the romance novels recommended by Zhang Ma, the young master and Miss Jiajia had started talking normally.
There was no constant threat of being buried alive with someone, no constant warnings like "Woman, you're playing with fire," or "Woman, you're dead!"
They no longer have the usual small arguments every three days and big arguments every five days.
The tableware hasn't been broken again, and all the tableware prepared in the kitchen hasn't been used in the past few days.
It's really a bit unusual to see them like this.
And Dr. Zhao, I don't know what he's been busy with lately, he hasn't come back even once, not even a single message.
Zhang Xinru guessed that it might be because her relationship with Xiao Shi had upset Dr. Zhao, so much so that Dr. Zhao decided to stay far away from her in order to forget her.
Fortunately, the female lead hasn't been injured recently, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome.
After finishing dinner, Fu Xiaochen kissed Ye Jiajia's forehead, but his usual clingy manner was gone.
"I'm going to the study to get busy. You can eat slowly. Don't wait for me to go to bed tonight."
Ye Jiajia nodded, her face pale. "Okay."
Fu Xiaochen was focused on his work and naturally didn't notice Ye Jiajia's complicated expression.
After everyone left, Ye Jiajia ate quietly, finding it difficult to swallow.
It seemed like he was talking to himself, but it also sounded like he was asking Zhang Ma and the others.
"What's wrong with Fu Xiaochen lately?"
Does Fu Xiaochen no longer love her?
Does he already have someone he likes outside?
Or is it that he's already tired of her?
When they usually ate together, Fu Xiaochen would hold her and feed her. If she didn't eat or ate very little, Fu Xiaochen would get angry with her.
But today, Fu Xiaochen didn't care how much she ate at all; he was only thinking about work.
What kind of work is it that keeps me busy until midnight?
When Zhang Xinru saw Ye Jiajia like this, she knew that the female lead was overthinking things.
She also knew that these two always seemed to dawdle during meals, which was strange, very strange. She decided to read some novels later to catch up.
Unlike Zhang Xinru, Wang Ma didn't think too much about it. She figured Ye Jiajia was probably annoyed by the food she had prepared that day.
"Miss Jiajia, what's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"
Ye Jiajia snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "No, it's just that I don't have an appetite today."
"Wang Ma, have you noticed that Fu Xiaochen has been acting a little strange lately?"
Wang Ma nodded without hesitation, "Something's not right."
Ye Jiajia hurriedly asked, "You noticed it too? What do you think is wrong with him? Is he... avoiding me?"
Wang Ma then spoke out everything that had been on her mind.
"Young Master hasn't argued with you or lost his temper lately, so your relationship must have gotten better."
"Moreover, you didn't smash your utensils while eating, which shows that you know how to be thrifty and frugal, which is a good sign."
Ye Jiajia: "..."
