"If you knew, you wouldn't ask me that." Huo Nanchen's heart sank a little. He looked up and asked, "About that account, did my wife withdraw the money?"
"She did before her accident. She had been using that bank account. After the accident, your wife seemed to have forgotten about it. I checked the money records, and after the accident, there was no record of any money going in or out. At the moment, this account has around five million dollars. The person has been making regular payments to your wife, but he hid it too well as if he was deliberately avoiding suspicion."
The words "car accident" made several images run through Huo Nanchen's mind.
It was true. Everything seemed to have changed since the car accident.
In the past, she had hardly taken the initiative to appear in front of him. She had also been very submissive in her words as if she was afraid that he would scare her to death.
However, after the car accident, she seemed to have completely changed. The whole situation was very strange.
An Shaosi rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "I remember that before she married you, she was a poor little girl. Why would anyone send money to her? This is not a small amount.
"It could be someone very close to her, or someone who had made a deal with her. There might be more possibilities."
They needed to find the answers to these questions.
"She never told me." Huo Nanchen sat on the sofa. There was a sense of exhaustion in his eyes. Even when facing such a tiring and terrible situation, he was still as charming as ever.
"She has her past, and you have your story. There's no need to dwell on it." An Shaosi sighed softly, "I'm just reminding you not to let love get to your head."
Huo Nanchen just shook his head and said slowly, "It's not that you don't understand me. You won't regret anything you've told me."
"I knew it." An Shaosi resigned himself to his fate and stood up. "Then I'll be leaving. I don't want to delay your good night and make you resent me. Your wife is more difficult to deal with."
Huo Nanchen's face was expressionless.
He tried to digest the news that he had just heard.
After An Shaosi left, Huo Nanchen saw that Nanny Zhang was taking the dinner she had prepared upstairs. He asked in a deep voice, "What's this?"
"The Young Madam said she was not feeling well, so I made noodles to take to her upstairs. Now, I've finished packing." Mother Zhang did not understand why the Eldest Young Master's expression was so heavy. However, he had always been difficult to understand. She lowered her head and quickly left.
Huo Nanchen went upstairs and twisted the bedroom doorknob. When he realized that the door was not locked, his furrowed brows relaxed.
However, the room was pitch-black. Gu Ruochu lay quietly on the bed as if she had fallen asleep. It was not even half-past seven, and she had gone to bed so early.
Huo Nanchen suspected that Gu Ruochu was avoiding him.
He did not turn on the lights and slowly walked towards the bed. Gu Ruochu's body tensed up when she heard the sound of his unhurried footsteps. She could not pretend to be asleep any longer.
"Are you exhausted?" His gentle voice rang in her ears. Gu Ruochu's eyelashes fluttered, but she opened them in the end.
"Yes, so don't disturb me."
A soft chuckle rang out, and she heard his soft laughter. "But I remember that a certain someone slept in the car for three and a half hours this afternoon. I thought that you were conserving your energy for tonight."
She had indeed fallen asleep in Jin Ye's car. Gu Ruochu stared at him in surprise. How did he know?
She was not too tired after taking a nap during the day.
Gu Ruochu could not help but feel a strange discomfort in her body when she heard his words. She gripped the blanket tightly. His words had made her shiver.
