Chapter 29 – Zu Xiaofei Attends Kindergarten Part 1

Zu Jin told Yan Lin the phone call records found on the cell phone in Xia Tong’s office.

After hearing this, Yan Lin was afraid that Zu Jin would worry too much about it, so they didn’t discuss it.

Zu Jin still felt a little more at ease with Yan Lin by her side.

In the past, she always thought that she could conquer every obstacle she faced aside from her situation with Ms. Zu Hua. But now, it seemed like she too was naive.

The events in the next couple of days were like huge thunder suddenly flashing on a clear and sunny day.

Although she was not harmed, it was enough to make her break into a cold sweat.

The medical examiner was performing an extensive autopsy on Ji Shiyu, while the police were conducting a complete search of the Ji family’s old house to find any suspicious evidence left behind.

In the blink of an eye, there was a pile of work at Xishui for Zu Jin to deal with. It was easy for Zu Jin to be paranoid as she waited at home, so she just went to work.

Two days later, Zu Jin went to the hospital to see Xia Tong after work.

Xia Tong was recovering well now, but her child had been transferred to the private hospital Zu Jin recommended for treatment. The current situation was still worrying.

" "

When Zu Jin walked into the room, Xia Tong was leaning against the bed and looking out of the window with empty eyes. Her husband was not there since he went to the private hospital to take care of their child.

“Xia Tong?” Zu Jin softly called out to her.

Xia Tong came back to her senses and her expression was a little alarmed for a split second, but she quickly covered it up.

“Jin Jie, come in and sit down.”

Zu Jin sat down beside her and asked, “Can you get out of bed and walk? Does it still hurt?”

“I can walk, but it still hurts a little…”

Xia Tong pursed the corners of her mouth and looked at her hesitantly. “Jin Jie, I…”

“What are you trying to say?” Zu Jin asked with a slight smile.

Xia Tong’s eyes suddenly turned red and she spoke with a crying voice. She covered her mouth and shook her head. “I’m sorry, Jin Jie, I really made a mistake. I shouldn’t have lied to you.”

She sobbed and occasionally choked on her words as she told Zu Jin all the things she had done in the past days.

Although Ji Shiyu had fought to undermine Zu Jin all these years, she had always taken good care of others, including Xia Tong.

It was just three years ago, when Zu Jin and Ji Shiyu were on that business trip together. Xia Tong happened to have her period, and the pain left her incapable of working.

But Zu Jin had no time to take care of her. Ji Shiyu carefully asked her assistant to buy medicine and sanitary products for her. Xia Tong was not capable of having any disgust for Ji Shiyu for her care.

So when she saw Ji Shiyu at the workshop that day, she told Zu Jin that she didn’t talk to Ji Shiyu.

But the truth was that she did.

She saw Ji Shiyu’s weak and haggard appearance, so she asked her if she should tell Zu Jin to help her.

But Ji Shiyu may have rejected her kindness because of her dignity.

Xia Tong turned around in embarrassment to leave, but Ji Shiyu stopped her.

The technology company Ji Shiyu started in the past was still barely functioning.

What Zu Jin was doing now happened to be in the same field, and Xia Tong was a leader in the Marketing Department. If Xia Tong could write up a customer list for her, then she could expand her business as soon as possible and make her small company profitable. After that, she could escape from the Qiyu Group as soon as possible.

Xia Tong was shocked at that time. This was because Ji Shiyu wanted her to betray Zu Jin and Xishui Company.

She left angrily at that time, but when she was halfway out, Ji Shiyu’s pitiful appearance appeared in her mind again.

She was pregnant and could not bear seeing anyone helpless and in despair in front of her. Thus, she changed her mind. If she only wrote a short list of customers that did not have a strong relationship with Xishui Company, then it wouldn’t affect their business relationship that much.

So she compiled a list of clients, turned back, and handed it to Ji Shiyu.

But after that night, Xia Tong thought about it again and felt that she had done something wrong. In order to ease her conscience, she went to Zu Jin’s office and told her about Ji Shiyu’s situation.

This way, she could lessen the guilt on herself because Zu Jin knew about Ji Shiyu’s situation and would definitely help her out.

Sometimes people really couldn’t do bad things, otherwise they would experience extreme anxiety and be unable to sit still.

So early that morning, Xia Tong wanted to call Ji Shiyu to tell her that she must keep it a secret, or she would be finished because she knew Zu Jin’s temperament too well.

Zu Jin would not tolerate the type of betrayal she commited.

But Ji Shiyu never answered when she called all day.

Xia Tong began to panic. She couldn’t eat that day, so she hid in her office and hoped that everything was just a dream.

She wished she could wake up soon.

But soon, there was a pain in her stomach that made her collapse.

The premature birth of the child was the punishment for her betrayal.
