"What do you mean by pretty good? Tell your husband more specifically!"
"How else can I be specific? No one bullies me! It's good at home too. Grandpa and dad care about me very much. When I got off work today, Shaobei even went to the company to pick me up!"
"Really? That's fine! Baby, your husband is afraid that you will be wronged in our family. That's what your husband hates to see the most. Hearing you say that, I feel relieved." What Kang Shaonan is most worried about is that his wife will not be able to adapt to his big family.
"I'm really fine! You don't have to worry about me!" Yu Xiao answered while lying on the bed.
"Do you miss your husband?"
“I thought about it!”
"Why do you sound a little weak? Wife, do you have a cold?" Kang Shaonan listened to Yu Xiao's uninterested voice on the phone, as if she was sick.
"I'm fine! I just don't want to move! Maybe I'm thinking about you!" Yu Xiao deliberately joked with him.
"Really? Don't lie! Is it really nothing?" Kang Shaonan still didn't quite believe it.
"I'm really fine!"
"Okay! Baby, I'll go make some food first, and then come back to talk to you later, okay?"
"Okay, got it."
Kang Shaonan put down his phone and went into the kitchen. Thinking about talking to his young wife, he made a simple bowl of egg noodles and finished it in a short while. After cleaning up the kitchen, Kang Shaonan took his phone into the bedroom, leaned against the head of the bed, and when he found Yu Xiao's number and wanted to dial it, he changed his mind temporarily and found his brother Kang Shaobei's number and called him.
"Is the president busy?" Kang Shaonan asked his brother with a smile as soon as the phone was connected.
When I heard Yu Xiao's voice and tone just now, I felt something was wrong, so I wanted to confirm the situation with my brother.
"What's the matter, Captain Kang, did you dial the wrong number? Why don't you call my sister-in-law at this time instead of harassing me?" Kang Shaonan laughed and fought back when he heard his elder brother's words.
"Xiaoxiao, nothing happened today, right?" Kang Shaonan asked his brother tentatively.
"Why don't you just ask her?"
"I just asked her, and she said she's fine! Tell me the truth, how is she today?"
"I seem to be in good spirits, but I seem to have suffered a minor injury at the company today. My sister-in-law said it was from a fall. I went to the hospital and got some medicine. I should be fine in two days. Don't worry."
"Where did you fall?" Kang Shaonan frowned. It seemed that his guess was right. The girl was not as good as she said.
"I fell on my face. I think there's a little skin breakage, but no bleeding. It shouldn't be a big deal."
"What do you mean it's no big deal? Let Aiqi fall and see! Why didn't you call me at that time?" Kang Shaonan became anxious when he heard his brother's words, and even his voice became much higher. The little girl actually started to lie. Thinking about her lying alone in bed now, Kang Shaonan felt distressed and wanted to drive back to see her immediately.
"Brother, I just heard about it from mom this afternoon. Besides, you are so far away in the army, what's the point of telling you?" Kang Shaobei understood his brother's thoughts and answered while rubbing his forehead.
"Didn't Xiaoxiao get injured at the company? How did mom know?"
"Mom made some snacks for Yu Xiao and saw that she had an injury on her face. Later, she came to see me and told me to pick up my sister-in-law when I got off work." Kang Shaobei answered truthfully.
"Oh, you take a rest! I get it! But I tell you, if this happens again in the future, you must tell me the first time! Do you hear me?" Kang Shaonan angrily warned his brother.
"Okay! Brother, I will tell you next time!" Kang Shaobei replied with a smile.
"I'll call Yu Xiao again, you go ahead and do your work!" Kang Shaonan said as he hung up the phone, found Yu Xiao's number and called her.
Yu Xiao was waiting for his call, and he couldn't wait to pick up the phone as soon as it rang.
"Have you finished eating?"
"Wife, did nothing really happen to you today?" Kang Shaonan was not in a hurry to expose her and asked slowly.
"Yeah, I'm fine, nothing happened!"
"So what's going on with your face?"
"You...how do you know?"
"How do you think I know? If I hadn't asked Shaobei, I wouldn't have known you were injured. I'm telling you, tell me the details of your injury from beginning to end. If you're wrong, I'll beat you up when I get back!" Kang Shaonan felt very uncomfortable after hearing what his brother said just now. Worried that she would hide something from him, he emphasized his tone.
"Kang Shaonan, you are still so mean to me even though I'm injured!" Yu Xiao's eyes suddenly turned red when she heard his words.
"Okay, your husband won't be mean to you! Your husband is really worried about you! You didn't even call me when you were hurt. Your husband feels bad, do you know that? Tell me what happened quickly?" Hearing her choking voice, he regretted the attitude he had just spoken and immediately slowed down his tone to admit his mistake.
“I was just out for dinner and I tripped over a small rock and hit my face. It’s that simple.” Yu Xiao tried to downplay the situation.
"Really?" Kang Shaonan still didn't believe it.
"Of course it's true! Why would I lie to you?"
"Then take a picture and send it to me. I need to see how badly you're injured. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep tonight."
"My phone can't send MMS!" Yu Xiao didn't expect this guy to be so smart, and quickly found an excuse.
"Then go to my study. Isn't there a camera on the laptop?" After hearing her say that, he became even more suspicious of the severity of her injury.
"I'm too lazy to go. Besides, I'm really fine!" I really can't stand him. Why does he think so fast
"Xiaoxiao, if you don't send the photos tonight, I will take a leave and go home tomorrow!" Kang Shaonan directly used his trump card.
"I really admire you. Okay, wait, I'll send it to your phone later!" After saying that, Yu Xiao turned on the camera on his phone, took a picture of his own face at a good angle, and sent it to him.
Yu Xiao deliberately tilted her face when taking the photo, so it didn't look that serious in the photo. However, Kang Shaonan was a scout and had been dealing with various injuries for many years. As soon as the photo was sent to him, he felt something was wrong. He stared at it for a long time and asked Yu Xiao: "Wife, I'll give you another chance. How did you get injured?"
"Okay, to tell you the truth, I was beaten!" Yu Xiao replied with a sigh.
"Who hit you?" Kang Shaonan clenched his fists and jumped up from the bed. His wife was already in so much pain, and when he heard that she was beaten like this, his heart suddenly twisted into a ball.
"Today... I was having lunch at noon when I encountered a robber. The man tried to grab my bag, but I refused to give it to him. As a result, the thief slapped me..."
"Has the bag been stolen?"
"No!"
"Where was it robbed? Where?" Kang Shaonan looked like he was determined to get to the bottom of it.
"Near our company!" Yu Xiao rubbed his forehead. For the first time, he realized that this person was not easy to fool.
"Who were you with at the time?"
"I myself..." Yu Xiao became increasingly lacking in confidence.
"Yourself? Then An An and Xiao Tong didn't go with you?"
"Xiaotong went with me..." This lie was getting bigger and bigger, and Yu Xiao had a headache.
“Are there any cameras nearby?”
Yu Xiao felt like vomiting blood when she heard this question. She knew that if she didn't stop, she would be exposed: "Kang Shaonan, let this matter pass. I don't want to mention it anymore. Anyway, I'm fine and my bag wasn't stolen! I finally forgot about it. You asked so many details. Do you want me to have nightmares at night?"
"Okay! Husband won't ask anymore! But you have to remember one thing in the future, you have to promise me!"
"What's up?"
"Don't lie to your husband at any time in the future, understand?"
"Well, I understand!" She didn't want to lie, but she knew what the consequences of not lying would be. She had just moved into the villa and didn't want to cause any family turmoil because of herself.
"Okay! Then go wash up now, and come back to bed and sleep well! You won't have nightmares if you just think about your husband. Good night, baby!"
"Well, goodnight to you too!"
Kang Shaonan listened to the beeping sound from the phone, then he put the phone away and replayed the photo that his wife had just sent him. He carefully examined it bit by bit. He stretched out his hand to measure it, but he couldn't figure it out. Even if it was a slap, why would the skin be broken in the palm of his hand? He couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it. He remembered that his wife had just said that she had lunch with Xiaotong at noon, so he started looking for Xiaotong's number in his phone. Fortunately, he had it before, so he found it as soon as he looked for it.
Kang Shaonan called to ask, but didn't get any clues. After asking a few questions, he hung up. But he didn't know that before he called, Yu Xiao called Xiaotong as quickly as possible, gave a few instructions, and hung up.
Although Kang Shaonan was doubtful about his young wife's injury, he believed it since it was over the phone.
The next day when Yu Xiao went to work, she still took Kang Shaobei's car to the company. When she brought coffee to Shen Yimo, she put her prepared resume on Shen Yimo's desk. Although she was a little nervous, fortunately Shen Yimo didn't ask her anything. At about ten o'clock, Shen Yimo took her to Uncle Ming's villa again.
After the car drove out for a while, Shen Yimo looked ahead and asked Yu Xiao nonchalantly: "Are you familiar with the president of Kang Group?"
This question was a bit abrupt. Yu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "We are friends!"
"Oh! I didn't expect that a secretary like me has such a wide network of contacts. I'm actually friends with the president of Kang Group! It seems that I will have to rely on you in the future!" These words sounded somewhat ironic.
"I'm just a small employee. I don't have any connections, and I don't have any luck. The president must have misunderstood me!"
"Really? If I'm not mistaken, the car that picked you up yesterday and sent you off this morning was the same car, right? How long have you been with him?" I always felt that it was unusual for her to ride in that car. Yesterday, I asked Yao Cheng to check and found out that it was the car of Kang Shaobei, the president of Kang Group. He picked her up every day when she went to and from get off work. This kind of thing can be guessed easily. (To be continued)
