Hey! The CEO who just scolded me met someone on a blind date.

When Jiang Huaizhou went upstairs with the tray, Su Zimu was sitting on the sofa, staring out the window in a daze without turning on the lights.

He placed the tray gently on the table and turned on the softest light.

"Why don't you even eat properly?" Jiang Huaizhou walked up to her with his hands behind his back, "Come and eat something."

He reached out for her hand, and she didn't refuse, but she didn't intend to get up either.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Huaizhou squatted in front of her and looked at her.

Su Zimu's eyes flickered, "Grandpa will be fine, right?"

When it comes to this topic, both of them feel heavy in their hearts.

Jiang Huaizhou pursed his lips and said, "I will."

She nodded, "That's good."

"Don't think too much, come and have something to eat." He raised his hand and touched her head.

"Then... where is the murderer?"

"We'll catch them."

Su Zimu's lips moved slightly, and he spoke after a long while, "I cried that day because that scene reminded me of the time when my grandma was in the hospital..."

This is what she was explaining to him.

She was afraid that he wouldn't believe her either.

Jiang Huaizhou felt a pain in his heart as if it was being pinched by a hand.

She was still talking to herself, "That little white bottle is not mine, and I don't know who put it in my bag..."

"Grandpa is so good to me, how could I do something that would hurt her..."

After Su Zimu finished speaking, he couldn't help but cover his face with his hands and burst into tears.

Now all the evidence points to her, and she can't defend herself even if she has a hundred words.

Jiang Huaizhou sat aside and held her gently in his arms, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly, don't think too much about it."

She pulled herself out of his arms and looked at him with a tearful face, "So... you think it's me, just like them?"

He wanted to reach out and wipe away the tears on her face, but she dodged him. Her thin lips moved slightly, but she didn't say a word.

Su Zimu retracted his gaze and quickly wiped his face. He no longer showed any of the fragility he had just shown. Instead, he exuded a stubbornness and arrogance that kept people at a distance.

Jiang Huaizhou knew what she wanted to hear, but with his calm personality, he would never easily say that he believed her before the matter had come to a conclusion.

While he was distracted, Su Zimu had already smiled faintly, "What's delicious?"

“Wonton stew.”

Seeing that the rain had stopped and the sky was clear, Jiang Huaizhou felt better. He reached out his hand to hold her in his arms for a hug, but she seemed not to see his hand and got up first and walked towards the wonton.

His brows furrowed slightly, the disappointment in his eyes disappeared, he withdrew his hand into his trouser pocket, stood up and looked at her back.

"I'm really hungry." Su Zimu picked up the spoon, scooped one into his mouth and started chewing, looking at him with a frown.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Huaizhou walked over in two or three steps. "Is it cold? Or is it not tasty?"

"You did it?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

Jiang Huaizhou was puzzled, "How did you know?"

"We are just in sync with each other." She said seriously.

Jiang Huaizhou would never believe her words, "I don't believe it, it must be too unpalatable."

"Hmm...very delicious." Su Zimu nodded and scooped another one to his mouth. "You will know how delicious it is if you try it."

She moved the spoon closer to his mouth again.

He stared at her half-believingly, but saw that she had a sincere look on her face, without any joking. She opened her mouth, took the wonton in the spoon, chewed it twice, turned around and spit it out with a paper.

Hahahahahaha... Su Zimu on the side was laughing so hard that he fell backwards.

Jiang Huaizhou looked at her with a sour face and handed her a bottle of water. "It's too salty. Can you swallow it?"

She took the water and drank a few sips. "This is my husband's first time cooking. It will be delicious no matter how salty it is."

Jiang Huaizhou: “???”

Su Zimu saw that he had a dazed expression, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and a shy face, which was far from his usual mature and steady demeanor. She wanted to tease him, so she suddenly leaned over and pecked him lightly on the cheek.

Jiang Huaizhou's smile grew even brighter, "This is the first time you've taken the initiative to call me husband."

This time she was stunned. In her impression, she always called him by his name and rarely called him like this. When she was happy, she called him Huaizhou, and when she was unhappy, she called him Jiang Huaizhou with his full name.

Su Zimu smiled, "Do you like me to call you that? Then I will call you husband, husband, husband every day..."

He held his forehead and lowered his head, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up.

Midnight, by the river.

A black car parked quietly in the open space. After a moment, another black car drove in slowly and stopped behind it.

The door of the car behind opened, and a woman in sportswear, wearing a mask and a baseball cap pulled very low on her head got out of the car, walked to the car in front, opened the passenger door and got in.

"You're finally here." The woman's voice trembled a little.

"There's no tail behind you, right?" the young woman in the passenger seat asked in a hoarse voice.

"No," she replied, "What's wrong with your voice? It's not like your usual voice at all."

"You have a bad cold and your voice is hoarse. You don't look like me at all, do you?" The young woman laughed softly, "Why don't we meet at home? Meeting outside would only make things worse."

"I'm afraid Jiang Huahai will hear it." She said in a low voice.

The young woman sneered twice, "Yuan Qingmei, I didn't expect that you usually scold him like a grandson, and you are still afraid of him?"

Yuan Qingmei lowered her head and said nothing for a while before she said, "This is different. Normally I can do whatever I want, but this time it involves his father. If he finds out, he won't let me go."

"Okay, I don't want to hear you say this. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Yuan Qingmei grabbed her hand and said, "The old man will soon wake up, in just two or three days. What should we do? We are about to be discovered, what should we do? If you, Jiang Huahai, find out, no, if Jiang Huaizhou finds out, will we be thrown into the river to feed the fish? The water in the river is so deep and so cold, and we will be bitten by fish. It's too scary. How about we turn ourselves in? Maybe they will let us go because of our past friendship..."

She was still talking to herself when the young woman shook off her hand in disgust and slapped her. She stopped immediately but continued to mutter.

"Yuan Qingmei, is this all the courage you have?" The young woman put her hands on her shoulders. "Now I'm asking you a question, and you answer it carefully."

Yuan Qingmei nodded slowly.

"First question, who told you he was going to wake up?"

"Jiang Huaizhou, he said." Yuan Qingmei said.

"Okay, second question, how can we be sure that he will wake up in the next two or three days?"

"That's what Jiang Huaizhou said."

The young woman sighed. It seemed that Jiang Huaizhou already suspected Yuan Qingmei, but he probably had no evidence yet, otherwise he would not have revealed this information to test her.

"You're awake now." The young woman's tone became more relaxed. "They probably don't have any evidence that you poisoned them. You don't have to be afraid."

"Yes, I have put the small medicine bottle into Su Zimu's bag. There is no evidence to prove that I poisoned him." Yuan Qingmei said with a weird smile on her face.
