Chapter 370: Because of Love

Since Shen Hanyu was willing to help Zhen Zhu investigate her past, her attitude toward him changed a lot, and she no longer called him by his full name.
“What’s the matter?” he turned around and asked.
Zhen Zhu pointed at Tang Bochuan, who was waiting by the car not far away.
“I’ve only learned less than one-third of the data he asked me to remember. I didn’t study it seriously at all. If I really go back to the company, I’ll be in the dark. Besides, Tang Bochuan has to work during the day, so he won’t have time to teach me.”
She suggested, “Why don’t you find me a house that’s close to his place? It’ll be convenient for me to go over and consult him after work.”
This time, when she went back to work, she would definitely not be as absent-minded and muddled through the day as she was the last time.
On the contrary, she would do her job well and establish her influence as soon as possible.
The group’s data and various projects were too complicated and cumbersome. She had to master them as soon as possible in order to be confident.
Her request was a piece of cake, so Shen Hanyu nodded and agreed. He beckoned for Tang Bochuan to come over and passed on her request. “Help me find a house. The company will pay for the expenses.”
“The closer it is to you, the more convenient it is. It’s best if the house is opposite of yours,” Zhen Zhu added.
Tang Bochuan had thought that he would be able to clear things up with this lady from today onwards
He didn’t expect that he still had to find a house for her. Not only did he have to answer her questions late at night, but he also wouldn’t have time to rest anymore after work.
Although he was unwilling in his heart, he could only nod his head, “Alright,” he said.
A few days later.
Zhen Zhu followed behind Shen Hanyu and stepped into Zhen Yiping’s office.
Zhen Yiping’s teacup shook, and a few drops of hot tea spilled on his pants. However, he didn’t feel any pain, only excitement.
Shen Hanyu had really brought Zhen Zhu back and changed her appearance.
She was dressed in a professional suit, and her makeup was clean and neat, completely different from the frivolousness she had in her old heavy makeup and revealing clothes.
He tried to control his emotions and pretended that nothing had happened. “Hanyu’s office is still short of an assistant. You should learn from Hanyu first.”
Not just anyone could follow Shen Hanyu. Although Zhen Yiping didn’t seem to give her an important position, following Shen Hanyu would still bring her nothing but benefits.
She was not surprised by this arrangement. She said lightly, “Alright,”
Zhen Yiping’s secretary came out and brought Zhen Zhu to report for duty, and Zhen Yiping watched as she walked out of the door. “How did you convince her to come back?”
“I was just about to come and ask Uncle for forgiveness.”
Shen Hanyu said calmly, “I let Zhen Zhu stay in that villa for a few days without permission.”
Zhen Yiping narrowed his eyes. “The villa in the countryside?”
“Yes,” Shen Hanyu nodded.
Zhen Yiping’s expression changed several times.
Zhen Zhu’s mother used to live in that villa, and he only mentioned it when Shen Hanyu asked about the girl’s past. He didn’t expect that Shen Hanyu would let her live in it without even saying a word!
“Zhen Zhu has never forgotten about her mother. I just wanted to see if she would be reminded of the past, and it really worked. Don’t worry,” Shen Hanyu explained. “Everything inside is still the same. There’s no damage at all.”
Zhen Yiping choked for a while before sighing, “Forget it, forget it,”
Now that Zhen Zhu was back, that old villa finally proved to still be of some use.
“I heard from Zhen Zhu that the house was sealed off after her mother left. No one is allowed to enter.”
Shen Hanyu sat down opposite Zhen Yiping, deep in thought. “May I be so bold as to ask Uncle why?”
Zhen Yiping’s mouth twitched. “You already know you’re being bold, so why are you still asking?”
Shen Hanyu smirked and filled the pot with more tea. “I’m sure you love me a lot. Anyways, why did you agree to the divorce back then?” he asked casually.
Zhen Yiping had just taken a sip of hot tea and almost spat it out, coughing non-stop.
“Why are you suddenly asking such a strange question so early in the morning?”
He glared at Shen Hanyu and said in a meaningful tone, “Hanyu, what you said today is not your style of speaking and doing.”
Shen Hanyu wasn’t someone who would always say the word “love,” and he wouldn’t meddle in things that he shouldn’t.
“I’m asking on her behalf,” Shen Hanyu replied.
“Did Zhen Zhu send you to ask? That child is still brooding over her mother’s death?” Zhen Yiping slowly put down his tea.
“She asked me to help her investigate her mother’s death. This is the condition for her return.”
Shen Hanyu did not hide anything from Zhen Yiping. “I agreed to that request.”
He did not just promise Zhen Zhu that he would investigate her mother’s death for her.
He specially asked Jian Han to go and see the servant who was guarding the villa, but he did not expect to learn about an unexpected detail.
Although no one was allowed to enter the villa, Zhen Yiping was not one of the people who couldn’t enter.
Every year, he would go to the villa alone, and every time he went, he would stay in his ex-wife’s room for the whole night.
It had been like this for more than ten years.
At first, Shen Hanyu thought that Zhen Yiping hated Zhen Zhu’s mother for betraying him.
Moreover, if Zhen Zhu’s mother’s death was indeed related to Zhen Yiping, perhaps he had pent-up guilt over it?
However, no matter if it was hatred or guilt, it wouldn’t have been enough to make Zhen Yiping keep all the details of the villa in its original state. He also wouldn’t be going to the villa alone for more than ten years to sit in his ex-wife’s room all night.
For a person to remember her for more than ten years, to carefully preserve all the traces she had left before her death, it could only be because of love.
Shen Hanyu had experienced the same thing for five years, but his behavior at that time was even crazier in the eyes of outsiders.
His rationality made him believe in Zhen Yiping. Furthermore, if he investigated the past, Zhen Yiping would be alerted sooner or later, and he would not be able to hide it.
“Zhen Zhu has always been suspicious of me. I knew it.”
Zhen Yiping said bitterly, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll be prepared and you won’t be able to find out anything when you tell me this?”
Shen Hanyu looked up and said in a calm and confident tone, “As long as I want to investigate, there’s nothing I can’t find. It’s only a matter of time.”
To be able to tell all this to Zhen Yiping so frankly today, he must’ve already made preparations and judgment in advance. Without eighty to ninety percent confidence, he wouldn’t have said these words.
Zhen Yiping was slightly stunned, but then he smiled with a complicated expression, “Then you just go ahead and investigate. If you find anything, you can tell her.”
The only mistake he had made all these years was that he had always treated her as a child.
However, she was already an adult, and there were some things that she should know.
Otherwise, she would continue to be obsessed with the past and would not be able to get over it.
He might as well use Shen Hanyu to tell her the truth and let the past come to an end.
Sang Qianqian did not expect that her casual act of pulling strings would bring such a huge opportunity to Song Yu.
During the meeting with the famous artist, Song Yu performed extremely well. He was polite, well-mannered, and had great professional knowledge. It was said that he even agreed to the request of the old artist and painted on the spot, winning a lot of praise..
