Chapter 891: 891, don’t you like it anymore? [Second update]
Su Xueqin had no reaction.
But Jiang Yi immediately asked, “What’s so urgent? Can’t you go after dinner?”
“I’m not eating.”
“When will you be back?” She couldn’t help but ask again.
Su Yuntang didn’t look back.
**
After finishing dinner, Su Yuntang returned to his room, and Su Yanyan also left after receiving a phone call.
The spacious living room was suddenly left with only Jiang Yi.
The TV was showing the popular drama of the moment, but she watched it absentmindedly.
Finally, after one episode ended, she looked at the time—it was already eight o’clock in the evening.
Jiang Yi took out her phone and sent Su Yuntang a WeChat message.
[Hubby, when will you be back?]
Then she stared at her phone.
But Su Yuntang didn’t reply at all.
A few minutes later, Jiang Yi couldn’t help it and directly called Su Yuntang’s phone.
…
“Is something the matter?”
Jiang Yi gripped her phone tightly, “Didn’t you see the message I sent just now?”
“I was discussing business and didn’t notice.”
“Oh,” said Jiang Yi, “it’s almost half-past eight, when will you be back? I saw the weather forecast just now; it looks like it might rain tonight…”
“You rest first, I’m busy here, I gotta go.” With that, the call was ended.
Jiang Yi held her phone, her fingers gradually tightening.
Ever since finding out that Yan Shunhua was Ya Jin, these days, Su Yuntang had seemed absent-minded, often spacing out. Sometimes he wouldn’t respond to her talking for ages, and if she didn’t speak, he would never initiate conversation.
She also knew that, in truth, Su Yuntang didn’t have deep feelings for her as his wife.
The fact that she was able to marry him, to put it bluntly, was also because of what happened to Ya Jin; her appearance filled the void in his heart at a man’s most dejected time.
Although the Su Family wasn’t a major household, it was still well-known, especially to the ordinary folks. They might not know how much property the richest family of Nancheng, the Huo Family, held, but as soon as someone mentioned the director of the Nancheng TV station, they would show envious looks…
Being able to marry into the Su Family, Jiang Yi had raised her parents’ spirits in the Jiang Family. She was now the most promising daughter of the Jiang Family; all her relatives and parents were proud of her, and they were particularly satisfied with their son-in-law, Su Yuntang.
She was content with this marriage because, as long as Su Yuntang was her husband, she was the legitimate Mrs. Su. There was no need for her to compete with a deceased woman.
But then she discovered not long ago that Ya Jin had not died at all; instead, she had changed her name and returned in glory…
The recent changes in Su Yuntang had inexplicably started to worry Jiang Yi.
**
In a private club, Su Yuntang had been waiting in a private room for a full hour.
After hanging up on Jiang Yi’s call, he looked at the avatar on WeChat.
Yan Shunhua had sent several messages around six o’clock, agreeing on the address and time to meet, but then there had been no further responses.
He had sent several inquiry messages, also without reply.
He didn’t have Yan Shunhua’s phone number, although he had the assistant’s, but…
Su Yuntang hesitated for a moment and didn’t make the call.
So he could only sit here and wait.
“Sir, may I serve the meal now?” the waiter asked for the umpteenth time.
“Wait a bit more.”
“Alright.”
Once the waiter had left, Su Yuntang picked up his phone and dialed Yan Shunhua’s WeChat voice call.
After many rings, the voice call was finally answered.
“Yuntang.”
As soon as he heard these two long-missed words, Su Yuntang’s heart stirred, and all his emotions vanished in an instant.
“Where are you now?” Yan Shunhua asked from the other side.
“I’m at the club.”
“I’m so sorry,” Yan Shunhua immediately apologized, “I was about to leave the house when I suddenly found out my daughter had a fever. I had to drive her to the hospital myself, and in the rush, I forgot about you. I was going to message you… Yuntang, I’m really sorry.”
“Is your daughter okay?”
Su Yuntang had heard about Yan Shunhua being married with a daughter from some media interviews before.
“She’s getting an IV right now; it might be acclimatization, she was still fine during the day… sorry, I was really too anxious, I forgot to tell you…”
“It’s alright,” Su Yuntang said, “the child’s health is important, take care of her first.”
“You must have waited a long time, right? Sorry to waste your time… how about this, let me treat you to a meal another day.”
“No need to…”
“It’s settled then, it’s my fault,” Yan Shunhua insisted firmly, “I won’t keep you now, we’ll arrange another time.”
“…Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Su Yuntang stood up, ready to leave.
Who would have known that suddenly a waiter came over again, “Sir, please wait a moment.”
He looked at the waiter.
“This is your gift.”
“No need.” Without Yan Shunhua coming over, Su Yuntang directly declined, assuming it was some small gift from the club.
“Sir, the lady who made the reservation sent you this gift, won’t you take a look?” the waiter asked.
Su Yuntang was somewhat stunned.
By the time he took the box and opened it, he was completely taken aback.
…
Su Yuntang walked out of the club with the gift in hand.
He was somewhat absent-minded and only realized it was raining when he got outside.
He had no choice but to return to the lobby and make a phone call to the driver.
Unable to resist, he opened the box and carefully looked inside.
Inside the box was a pen.
And it was a privately customized high-end fountain pen.
The engraving on the body of the pen was exquisitely done, and the cap was even adorned with fine diamonds; it was clear at a glance that it was extremely valuable.
He thought of the time when he and Ya Jin were dating, and for his birthday, Ya Jin’s first birthday gift to him was also a pen.
Although the pen from that time could not compare to the one he held now…
Suddenly, a pink rubber ball rolled to his feet.
Su Yuntang’s leather shoe was touched, and he came back to his senses.
A familiar voice rang out, “Little Luoluo, come quickly and cut the cake.”
Little Luoluo ran over and picked up the small rubber ball.
Out of curiosity, a pair of beautiful big eyes looked towards Su Yuntang.
As a result…
“What are you doing here?”
It was Su Wanwan.
She was wearing a red dress, with delicate makeup, beautiful and charming.
Seeing Su Yuntang, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, her expression wasn’t too friendly.

Su Yuntang instantly hardened his expression as well.
He glanced at the little girl, “Who is she?”
Su Wanwan: “No comment.”
“You…”
The phone ringing interrupted him; holding back his anger, Su Yuntang answered the call, “Hello.”
“Sir, the car is here, where are you?”
“I’ll be right out.”
After hanging up the phone, Su Yuntang stood up, “It’s late, a girl shouldn’t stay in this kind of place for too long, go back early.”
Su Wanwan couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “I came with my husband, you should worry more about your own business.”
Su Yuntang was not in the mood to argue with her and, upon hearing this, he turned and left.
…
As soon as he got in the car, he received another call from Jiang Yi.
“Honey, it’s raining. When are you coming back?”
Su Yuntang looked out the window, feeling irrationally restless, “I’m already on the way.”
“Good, tell the driver to drive slowly, don’t rush.”
After hanging up the phone, Su Yuntang subconsciously reached out, only to find he was grasping at air.
He immediately searched the back seat of the car and then said, “Turn around, go back to that club from before.”
While he was waiting in the club’s lobby, he remembered he had opened the box and left it on the sofa, likely forgetting it when he left.
“All right, sir,” the driver nodded and quickly made a U-turn at the next intersection to head back.
**
Half an hour later, Su Yuntang quickly returned to the club.
But the sofa in the lobby already didn’t have the box anymore.
He approached the staff.
But no one had noticed.
Su Yuntang requested to check the surveillance footage, stating that he had lost something very valuable.
The clientele of this club was either rich or noble, and it was common for them to carry valuable items.
The waiter, not daring to neglect, called the manager for permission and then led Su Yuntang into the surveillance room.
…
The Chu Family’s wedding preparations were underway.
Shi Huan, the bride-to-be, was quite relaxed because the old Master Chu had assured her that everything was on him and that he would make sure she was satisfied.
Besides cooperating and occasionally giving her opinions, Shi Huan spent most of her time preparing for her exams.
Tonight, they were gathering at this clubhouse only because it was Nangong Ci’s birthday.
After celebrating the birthday, Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan took their child and left early.
After rushing around for the entire day, Su Wanwan was a bit tired, and since it was also raining, she decided to leave with Huo Jingshen.
On the way, her phone suddenly rang.
She frowned at the caller ID.
It was actually Su Yuntang.
She had thought their encounter at the clubhouse was just coincidental, but now…
Su Wanwan was slightly reluctant to answer the call.
But the phone was persistent, as if not taking no for an answer, so she finally picked up, “Hello?”
“I want to ask you, did you take something of mine at the clubhouse just now?”
Accused right from the start, Su Wanwan was completely baffled, “When did I ever take your things?”
“I had this purple box with me. Inside was a pen. You really didn’t see it?”
“No.”
“I checked the clubhouse’s surveillance footage. Only you and that child were in that area. Are you sure it wasn’t you?”
With a hint of exasperation, Su Wanwan said, “Why would I need a pen? I don’t even use that! You’re asking me about something you lost; why don’t you ask the waitstaff?”
“The waitstaff said they didn’t see anything.”
“Well, I didn’t see anything either!”
“Understood.”
The call was cut off.
With a huff, Su Wanwan set down her phone.
“What’s wrong?” Huo Jingshen glanced at her from the side.
Su Wanwan gave a brief summary, “Every time we meet, nothing good happens! He loses something and comes to me, as if that pen is some kind of treasure!”
Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
**
The Su Family villa.
When Su Yuntang got home, it was almost 10 p.m.
Pushing open the bedroom door, he saw Jiang Yi sitting on the sofa looking at him.
The TV was off, and the room was quiet.
It was eerily unsettling.
“I’m back.”
With a single response from Su Yuntang, he started unbuttoning his shirt, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Jiang Yi asked, “Where were you just now?”
With his back to her, Su Yuntang’s voice was calm, “Didn’t I tell you? I had plans with friends.”
“Didn’t you say you were on your way back? Why did it take you two hours to return? Where did you go that was so far?”
With restraint, Su Yuntang said, “I realized I lost something on the way, so I went back to look for it.”
“What was it?” Jiang Yi asked, “Was it important?”
Su Yuntang hung his tie on the rack, took off his shirt, and turned toward the bathroom, “I’m going to take a shower first.”
Jiang Yi: “…”
She just sat there, watching him walk into the bathroom.
Her eyebrows tightly furrowed, and her fingers anxiously entwined together.
When the bathroom door closed, she suddenly stood up and walked over to the clothes rack. She picked up Su Yuntang’s shirt, sniffed it, and then started to examine it thoroughly.
When she couldn’t find any trace of a woman’s perfume or hair strands, Jiang Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet, the next morning.
A sudden visit from a servant escorting a young man dressed like a waitstaff, “Ma’am, this gentleman says he’s here to deliver something.”
On the living room sofa, Jiang Yi put down her phone, “What is it?”
“Mrs. Su, hello, I’m a waiter from the ## clubhouse. It’s like this, Mr. Su lost something at our clubhouse last night, and now that it has been found, I’ve come to return it.”
Jiang Yi stood up to receive it.
Upon opening it, she found a pen inside.
So the item lost last night was this?
No wonder.
Just like Su Xueqin, Su Yuntang owned beautiful handwriting and cherished collecting various pens and ink brushes.
No wonder she went back to look for it last night…
Jiang Yi said with a smile, “Thank you.”
The waiter asked, “Would you like to check it? If there’s no issue, I’ll reply to Ms. Yan.”
But Jiang Yi’s smile suddenly froze on her face, “Who did you say? Ms. Yan?”
“Yes,” the waiter replied, “This gift is from Ms. Yan to Mr. Su. But last night, Mr. Su left without noticing that he had left the gift on the sofa at the club…”
Jiang Yi did not even listen to the rest of what he had to say.
She clenched the box tightly, her fingers exerting force, her complexion turning pale, her eyes wide open as if in horror.
The waiter was puzzled.
A servant standing by saw Jiang Yi’s reaction and could only say, “This way, please.”
“…Alright.”
Once the servant and waiter left, Jiang Yi finally snapped back to reality and collapsed on the sofa.
Last night, Su Yuntang was not meeting friends but had gone to the club with Ya Jin.
Ya Jin had even given him a gift…
She looked down, opened the box, and took out the pen.
The silver body of the pen was sleek and elegant, the pattern exquisitely carved, and the cap was inlaid with tiny diamonds…
She quickly took out her phone and searched for the brand of the pen.
Sure enough.
The page displayed that this was a high-end custom pen brand from Europe; each pen was very expensive, especially the custom diamond-studded designs, starting at a minimum price of 100,000 euros…
Jiang Yi closed her eyes, exited the webpage, and dialed a number.
…
The station manager’s wife suddenly calling during work hours made the assistant anxious and fearful.
When Jiang Yi indirectly asked about Su Yuntang’s recent work schedule, the assistant replied, “Recently the station has a few new events, and there’s also a new collaboration being discussed. Mr. Su has indeed been quite busy.”
“What kind of events?”
Although the assistant found the detailed questioning strange, they dared not hide anything and had no choice but to briefly go over the recent projects.
After hearing everything, Jiang Yi said, “Alright, I understand. Thank you for your trouble.”
“Mrs., you’re welcome.”
After hanging up, Jiang Yi sat there, her facial features gradually distorting.
Not only did he secretly arrange to meet, but he was also discussing a collaboration with Yan Shunhua’s film and television company?
Su Yuntang…
What are you really trying to do?!
**
Nancheng TV Station.
After much thought, the assistant was considering whether to inform Su Yuntang of the matter when suddenly the phone on the desk rang.
After taking the call, he immediately went to the station manager’s office.
“Manager, you called for me.”
Su Yuntang’s mobile phone rang, and he glanced at it and said, “Wait a moment.”
“Okay.”
Su Yuntang answered the call, “Who is this?”
“…”
Whatever was said on the other end of the phone, Su Yuntang’s expression subtly changed, “Do you need me for something?”
The next second.
“You had someone send the gift to my house?”
On the phone, Yan Shunhua’s voice was light, “We now have a work collaboration. If it’s sent to the station rashly, it could lead to misunderstandings.”
Su Yuntang: “…”
What she said was true, but…
“Actually, this pen was a gift to me,” Yan Shunhua quickly said, as if afraid he would misunderstand, “You wouldn’t mind, right? I haven’t used this pen…”
“Why are you giving it to me?” Su Yuntang asked.
There was a moment of silence on the phone, then Yan Shunhua said, “I just remembered you used to like collecting pens. Don’t you like them anymore?”
“…” Su Yuntang gripped his phone tightly.
After hanging up, he seemed to be in a daze.
“Manager?”
“Manager?”
The assistant was speechless.
It wasn’t until Su Yuntang came to his senses that he looked up, “You can go out now.”
Assistant: “…”
