Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 486: I Said You Would Kneel and Beg My Wife (7)

Zhan Dapeng went over to the room next door to speak with Tang Sili.

Seizing the moment, Gu Nuan phoned Zhong Qiaohui to find out the situation.

The call connected after a short while. Witnessing the white bandage wrapped around her head in the video, Zhong Qiaohui got a shock, "What happened to you?"

Nobody at the company would definitely be unaware of her accident. After all, as the wife of the richest man’s son, her affairs were not publicly disclosed secrets. Even if it became public, how many would know it was her own family who had done it?

However, without waiting for her to explain, Zhong Qiaohui blurted out the news she had heard, "Yes, I heard about it, that your husband, Director Xiao, suddenly showed up at the company headquarters. I thought someone was talking nonsense at the time because weren’t you still vacationing in that small village this morning? Even taking a plane wouldn’t be that fast."

Indeed, they had actually returned by helicopter.

"Who did this fine piece of work?" asked Zhong Qiaohui, her eyes holding a deep and heavy look.

This Miss Zhong was not just a well-off lady who had everything handed to her on a silver platter.

The day Gu Nuan saw Zhong Qiaohui capable of taking off her shoes and running barefoot to find help, she knew that this woman was actually a tough character.

Only someone willing to go through fire and water could accomplish anything.

And this person’s wisdom was far superior to the likes of Su Yixia.

Gu Nuan reflected inwardly and asked first, "Have you made everything clear to Grandma?"

"I’ve made it very clear," Zhong Qiaohui replied smartly, without pressing her, saying, "Grandma’s attitude is very firm. But I guess, she dares to be so firm because you must have given her a way out."

Indeed, once Grandma Zhou got involved, she would no longer be able to stay in that village in the future.

Gu Nuan had known that Miss Zhong was very clever, said nothing, and her silence was as good as a quiet acknowledgment.

Zhong Qiaohui had somewhat guessed that she must have reached some sort of agreement with Grandma Zhou. After all, it was a win-win situation. With Grandma Zhou stirring things up, it must be beneficial for Gu Nuan and her group.

"If this project doesn’t work out, what other projects do you plan to work on?" Zhong Qiaohui asked.

"Any project is the same," Gu Nuan said pointedly, clarifying the whole situation in one sentence.

Zhong Qiaohui couldn’t help but agree with her statement.

No matter what project Gu Nuan and Xiao Yebai took on, they would surely be targeted, because all the candidates believed that the couple was a thorn that needed to be removed.

"How about my martial brother?" Gu Nuan asked.

"He is buried in his office, continuing to review documents, trying to prove something, according to what your husband said," described Zhong Qiaohui, who clearly didn’t see it that way as she revealed another matter, "Sister Yao from the Design Department came to me, asking when you might return?"

"Because she also heard some rumors?"

"I don’t know, but she came to ask yesterday, and she asked again today. Could she have foreseen your accident today?"

It was unthinkable, but Sister Yao must have known something, at least that the things Fang Yongxing gave her were in her possession. Sister Yao must have sensed something to come looking for her.

The company seemed to be facing a major storm, and only the old-timers like Fang Yongxing and Sister Yao could sense it coming ahead of others.

"To be honest," Zhong Qiaohui said in a low voice, "I didn’t know you had an accident, but I heard from my family that it seems your father-in-law had an accident. Moreover, there was talk that your husband had been to the company. I’m afraid this might be true—"

Xiao Jianming had an accident?

Gu Nuan’s eyes narrowed instantly, her first thought was that such significant news was first known by an outsider and then passed on to Zhong Qiaohui. Given that even Zhong Qiaohui had heard about it, the news could hardly be kept hidden any longer.
