Jiang Nan Fang left the ward with a belly full of anger and bewilderment.
The hospital from eight to ten in the morning was precisely the peak period for elevator usage.
Countless patients' families and friends took the elevator to visit patients, and every elevator was full.
Jiang Nan Fang waited in front of the elevator door for three rounds without being able to squeeze in. Looking at the time, she had already been delayed by more than ten minutes.
Losing patience to stay in such a hellish place any longer, she gritted her teeth and was about to go to the stairs when a gentle hand suddenly rested on her shoulder.
Turning her head, she saw the face of a middle-aged woman with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
Isn't this Mrs. Gao?
"Still here. I didn't expect to run into you again."
Mrs. Gao took the initiative to speak to her.
Jiang Nan Fang didn't know what Zhan Bei Jue was up to, but her intuition told her that his reaction just now must have something to do with Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Wang.
Because he wasn't usually this crazy.
But ever since they appeared at Kangqiao Villa last time, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Gao, he had been acting up.
Jiang Nan Fang didn't believe it was a coincidence.
Glancing at Mrs. Gao's hand, she instinctively became wary.
"The elevator was too crowded. I thought I didn't have as much time as them, so I didn't get on. Why did you come out alone?"
Mrs. Gao smiled and patted her shoulder, gesturing for her to take the stairs. They walked and chatted.
"I'm not very familiar with Mrs. Lu, and we don't have much to talk about. If we meet, it's enough to go up and show my concern. There's no need to stay the whole time."
"She and Mrs. Wang have been old friends for many years, so sometimes you have to leave some space for them. Don't you think so?"
Jiang Nan Fang nodded, "You're right."
She cast a curious and comforting glance, "You are such a gentle and generous girl. Are you alright?"
From the 13th floor all the way down, the conversation between the two never stopped.
It was almost always Mrs. Gao initiating, and Jiang Nan Fang responding.
Given her status, knowing that Jiang Nan Fang was nothing in Zhan Bei Jue's eyes and had no value to her, why would she be so interested in her and waste time socializing with her?
There could only be two reasons.
One: She liked Jiang Nan Fang. She saw her unique personal charm and couldn't help but want to get closer to her.
Two: She had a purpose to use Jiang Nan Fang beyond money and social status.
Jiang Nan Fang certainly wouldn't be narcissistic enough to believe the first reason.
She was the wife of Director Gao, and it was impossible for her to condescend and deliberately create opportunities to get close to her without seeking anything in return.
But she couldn't figure out what it was for a moment.
Money, status, beauty, she lacked nothing. At her status and age, what else could she desire?
The only thing that made Jiang Nan Fang feel she had some value was her past relationship as Zhan Bei Jue's ex-wife.
Could she have a feud with the Zhan family?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Seeing that her relationship with Zhan Bei Jue was also not good, she wanted to win an ally?
Jiang Nan Fang quickly sorted out her intentions in her mind, and when she looked at Mrs. Gao again, it was as if she had put on 3D glasses.
Analyzing and guarding against her precisely from every dimension.
As they walked to the parking lot, they had already talked about children.
It was obvious that Mrs. Gao's goal had not yet been achieved, and she hadn't finished speaking.
If she left like this, she would definitely rack her brains to find a second opportunity.
Jiang Nan Fang decided to play dumb to the end, thinking it would be better to go along with the plan and actively step into her trap now.
"I'm in a really bad mood today. Talking to you made me feel like we met too late. I don't want to go back alone when I'm in a bad mood. Could I invite you for a cup of coffee?"
The two went to a tastefully decorated coffee shop.
It was obvious that Mrs. Gao did not intend to reveal her purpose right after meeting. They sat for more than an hour, chatting about all sorts of trivial matters, and Jiang Nan Fang did not detect any useful information.
It was only when they were leaving the coffee shop that she looked back at Mrs. Gao from a specific angle, following behind her diagonally.
She found her somewhat familiar.
She couldn't say who she looked like, but she just felt that she resembled someone she knew around her.
It wasn't until Mrs. Gao invited her for a next meeting for beauty treatments that she remembered who she resembled.
Hu Jia Sheng.
It was too strange, why did she look so much like Hu Jia Sheng from a certain angle?
Jiang Nan Fang turned her car and drove to the beauty salon. Without beating around the bush, she directly asked Chen Jiaojiao if she thought Mrs. Gao resembled Hu Jia Sheng.
Upon hearing her say this, Chen Jiaojiao was a little surprised.
"You noticed it too? I thought it was my own filter for Hu Jia Sheng, so... I was afraid you would laugh at me for still thinking about him, so I never dared to say it."
"The curve of their side profiles is indeed quite similar."
"So..."
Chen Jiaojiao shook her head and interrupted her, "I know what you're thinking. When I first noticed it, I also thought about this problem, so I quietly inquired. We were overthinking it."
"Hu Jia Sheng once told me that his mother was just out of college when she gave birth to him, at the age of 23, and she was from Chun Cheng."
"Mrs. Gao married Director Gao at the age of 25 and had no children. She is only 43 years old now. The ages simply don't match."
"Moreover, her hometown is the same as Director Gao's, from Bin Cheng, which is completely unrelated."
"Besides, if it were her, with her past back then, how could Director Gao have taken a liking to her?"
There are many inexplicable cases of look-alikes in this world. Some ordinary people look almost identical to celebrities.
So, it's not necessarily true that a man and a woman coincidentally look alike that they must have a relationship.
But Jiang Nan Fang just felt that things were strange.
She searched for Director Gao's information online, but due to his special identity, she couldn't find anything.
But she didn't believe Chen Jiaojiao's superficial pretense.
"Information like this can be faked. Especially for people of their status, they can write whatever they want. It's completely unreliable."
"Director Gao wasn't born a director. More than 20 years ago, he might have been a small clerk in some corner."
"As long as Mrs. Gao was young and beautiful enough, even if she had a child outside without getting a marriage certificate, it would still be easy to marry a small clerk."
"So what do you want to do?"
Chen Jiaojiao didn't understand why she was so determined to find out the identity of the person, after all, who Hu Jia Sheng was born to had nothing to do with her.
Jiang Nan Fang explained the strange aspects she felt to her and then said.
"It's not that I actively want to get involved with her; it seems she wants to get involved with me now."
"You don't want me to be dragged into some conflict and become cannon fodder without knowing what's going on, do you?"
She wanted to ask Chen Jiaojiao to help with an experiment.
"If she really has any relationship with Hu Jia Sheng, she must have been silently paying attention to him behind the scenes all these years, and she would also know about your relationship."
"Hu Jia Sheng gave up on you so easily back then. Don't you want to know if it was his own idea, or if this woman helped him come up with the idea?"
One sentence successfully ignited Chen Jiaojiao's fighting spirit, "What are your plans?"
