After the news that Shen Huaizhou and Jin Xi were about to get engaged spread in Xiangcheng, Wen Qingyu, Shen Huaizhou's cousin, and Jin Xi got closer.
The two became very good friends.
When Wen Qingyu learned that the engagement was cancelled, he came to Jin Mansion as soon as possible.
She asked about the marriage between Jin and Shen's family.
Jin Xi held her hand affectionately and sat down, "My marriage with the young marshal has indeed been cancelled."
With his eyes flashing slightly, Wen Qingyu asked: "Why cancel? Don't you like my cousin very much?"
"The young marshal and I are not in love, he has a girl he likes. I don't want him to marry me because of my family background, so I might as well make it happen."
There was a moment of coldness between Wen Qingyu's brows.
Then she said gently: "When you say that, I understand. My cousin does have a woman he loves very much, named Zhong Lingyu."
Jin Xi said he knew.
Wen Qingyu frowned, "Zhong Lingyu is not of high birth, and the Shen family's grandmother doesn't like her. The chance of her marrying into the Shen family is slim. If you really like my cousin, why don't you fight for it?"
"You can't get something like love just by fighting for it." Jin Xi shook his head bitterly.
Wen Qingyu secretly scolded Jinxi for being a waste.
Originally, she planned to use Jin Xi to get rid of Zhong Lingyu.
But something unexpected happened and the wedding was cancelled.
She was unwilling to give in and clenched her fists unconsciously.
Jin Xi asked in confusion: "Xiao Yu? What's wrong with you?"
Wen Qingyu came back to his senses and raised a smile, "It's nothing, I just feel it's a pity. If you can be my sister-in-law, there will be good sisters in the family who can talk to me in the future, but the marriage between you and my cousin fell through... ."
Jin Xi believed that she had a close relationship with Wen Qingyu.
She then got close and said, "I used to have a sister, but she got lost a long time ago. You and I are destined. If you don't dislike her, it doesn't matter if we become sisters in the future."
Wen Qingyu was just taking advantage of Jin Xi.
She didn't want to be a sister to an ignorant fool like Jin Xi.
However, Jin Xi said that there was a lost child in the Jin family...
Wen Qingyu pretended to inquire inadvertently.
She learned from Jin Xi that the daughter Jin Shihong had with his first wife had been lost for a long time.
The child has not been found yet, and there is a butterfly-shaped birthmark on the back of his waist...

May 15th is the day Shen Huaizhou is discharged from the hospital.
It is also his birthday.
Shen Huaizhou begged Zhong Lingyu to celebrate his birthday.
Zhong Lingyu has a hard mouth and a soft heart, so he can only agree.
She went to Shen Huaizhou's annex and spent an entire afternoon cooking a table of delicious dishes.
He also specially ordered longevity noodles for Shen Huaizhou.
In the evening, Shen Huaizhou came back.
He squeezed into the kitchen, hugged her from behind, tilted his head to take her soft lips in his mouth, and kissed her.
Zhong Lingyu felt the heat behind him and knew what he was going to do.
She refused.
But Shen Huaizhou was strong and urgent.
He trapped her firmly in a narrow spot, his eyes full of aggression.
The two bodies were close to each other.
Her soft body was so sweet that it was intoxicating.
Her clothes were taken off, and under the light, her skin was even more dazzlingly white.
Shen Huaizhou couldn't help himself.
Zhong Lingyu was so teased that her whole body went limp, and she could only lean on his shoulder and let him mess around.
For a long time, the kitchen was in a mess.
The air was filled with an indescribable aura of devastation.
Zhong Lingyu called him a bastard.
Shen Huaizhou coaxed her and carried her upstairs to take a bath.
He was too energetic and struggled in the bathroom again.
When we went downstairs to eat again, the food was cold.
Originally, Zhong Lingyu wanted to celebrate Shen Huaizhou's birthday properly, but he suddenly interfered with it.
She was so angry that she hit him.
Shen Huaizhou held her hand, put it to his lips and kissed it softly, "It doesn't matter if it's cold, I like to eat whatever you make."
Zhong Lingyu couldn't be angry with him anymore.
He always likes to fool around like this, and today is his birthday.
The longevity star is the biggest.
Zhong Lingyu didn't bother to argue with him, so he brought the longevity noodles over and said, "I want to eat noodles first on my birthday. I wish the young commander a safe and healthy life."
Shen Huaizhou kissed her briefly, "Lingyu, thank you!"
Zhong Lingyu also smiled.
She handed him the chopsticks.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Immediately afterwards, Adjutant Li's voice came through the door panel, "Young Marshal, something big has happened."
His tone was panicked.
Zhong Lingyu knew that unless something big happened, Adjutant Li would never be disappointed at this time.
She opened the door, and after Adjutant Li nodded to her, he hurriedly walked to Shen Huaizhou, "Young Marshal, something big happened over there in Xiangcheng. Miss Jin... is dead!"
Zhong Lingyu was stunned.
Shen Huaizhou's expression did not change, "How did you die?"
"He died in a car accident." Adjutant Li swallowed, "Also, Miss Wen Qingyu was also seriously injured in the car accident."
Shen Huaizhou stood up suddenly.
The chair scraped across the ground, making a piercing screech.
His expression changed slightly, "What's going on?"
Adjutant Li said: "According to the news from Xiangcheng, Miss Jin and Miss Wen Qingyu were shopping when an out-of-control car suddenly hit them in the distance, and Miss Jin was killed on the spot.
As for Miss Wen Qingyu, she was accidentally hit while trying to save Miss Jin, but she managed to save her life and is now living in the Jin family to recuperate. "
Wen Qingyu grew up beside Shen Huaizhou's mother.
She has a better relationship with Shen Huaizhou's cousins than her biological siblings.
Shen Huaizhou was anxious.
He put on his coat and planned to go to Xiangcheng.
Zhong Lingyu subconsciously pulled him, "Adjutant Li said that Wen Qingyu is now being raised by the Jin family. Since she is fine, it won't be too late for you to go to Xiangcheng to see her tomorrow."
Shen Huaizhou couldn't wait for a moment.
He bent down and touched Zhong Lingyu's little face, "Xiaoyu is in Xiangcheng, without any relatives or friends, and he got into a car accident. I must go and have a look."
"Today is your birthday. I have been busy all afternoon to make a large table of dishes for you to celebrate your birthday." Zhong Lingyu grabbed the corner of his clothes.
Shen Huaizhou was not in the mood to listen to her at all.
Out of concern for Wen Qingyu, he ignored Zhong Lingyu.
He pushed Zhong Lingyu's hand away and left in a hurry.
Soon, the car roared.
Shen Huaizhou left in the night.
Zhong Lingyu was sitting in the living room, the surroundings were deserted and silent.
There was a table full of steaming delicious food, but no one was enjoying it.
Zhong Lingyu sat silently in the living room.
After a while, the servant came over and asked: "Miss Lingyu, these dishes..."
Zhong Lingyu came back to his senses and forced a smile, "I'm not too hungry. You can pack it up and take it home to eat. I just need to trouble you to clean it up."
The table is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas. The servants' family conditions are not very good and they rarely have access to these foods.
They were very happy and packed up the food and took it away.
The restaurant became even more empty.
Zhong Lingyu stayed here, feeling depressed.
