Xinyi District
Shen Nian walked through the dark residential building, her pale and thin figure reflected in the weak lamp.
She turned a corner, stopped, and raised her hand to knock on the thin door.
After a while, the door of the room was opened from the inside, and the woman who came out had messy hair like a bird's nest, a face without makeup, a dark yellow complexion, and even a few freckles around the cheekbones, which were from staying up late all year round. result.
The woman's eyes fell on the suitcase in Shen Nian's hand, with surprise in her eyes: "You want to move back here?"
Shen Nian pushed the door open wider and passed her. The room was in a mess. Beer bottles were all over the floor. The smell of smoke was pungent. The mahjong machine in the corner was in a mess.
Shen Nian: "Party is going on again?"
Li Xianglan smoothed her messy hair, sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette with a lighter, and puffed out the smoke: "I played all night and only slept for an hour. I'm very sleepy."
Li Xianglan yawned in response, her eyes wandering on her suitcase: "You shouldn't have resigned, right?"
Three years ago, on the day when she and Fu Hanye received the certificate, Shen Nian told Li Xianglan that she had found a decent job and moved out of this residential building. Under Li Xianglan's expectant eyes, Shen Nian nodded and spoke clearly with her red lips:
"Yes."
Li Xianglan jumped up in shock and flicked the ashes on her cigarette:
"Why did you resign? You did a good job, why did you resign?"
Shen Nian sneered: "The boss wants to fire me, what can I do?" Shen Nian's eyes swept over the belt in the corner and the men's slippers on the shoe rack.
"Your boyfriend can live here, but my biological daughter can't live here?"
Li Xianglan's old face turned red and hesitantly said: "What kind of boyfriend? You have to call him Uncle Qi. If you don't come back, I was going to come find you."
Shen Nian was surprised:
"What are you looking for me for?"
Li Xianglan pressed her temples and said with a headache on her face: "Your Uncle Qi got into a fight with someone yesterday and went in. You can think of something to see if you have any friends in the legal profession."
Seeing Shen Nian's silence, Li Xianglan spoke louder: "You can't ignore your Uncle Qi, he is my life."
Shen Nian stared at his mother seriously and asked, "Your life?"
When her father Shen Kun was alive, he was very kind to Li Xianglan, but she never cherished her and always fooled around with other men. Li Xianglan was an irresponsible mother.
"When did you consider a man your life?"
I'm trying to question this on behalf of my father.
Li Xianglan heard the implication and knew that her daughter was judging her. She looked away:
"Don't worry about it. In short, if you don't find someone, I will die for you."
Shen Nian was also angry:
"Then you go die."
After saying that, she pulled her luggage to leave. Li Xianglan panicked and hurriedly reached out to grab her suitcase: "Daughter, it's not that my mother is cruel, it's that she really has no choice. Your Uncle Qi...can't go to jail. The rest of my life will be... It’s all on him.”
Li Xianglan started to cry, heartbroken.
Shen Nian looked at her mother's tear-stained face, not much moved. She didn't blame her for being cruel, just because this woman was too ruthless in what she did. Ten years ago, when she was fifteen years old, her father had a car accident and faced Despite her father's pale body, Li Xianglan was having an affair with a wild man.
She will never forget that scene.
The ferocious body of her father's autopsy will always remain in her memory. Whenever she dreams about it at midnight, her clothes will be wet with tears.
"Daughter, please save your Uncle Qi."
Perhaps realizing Shen Nian's indifference, Li Xianglan resorted to a bitter trick.
Shen Nian: "I'm just an ordinary office worker. I don't know any lawyers. Sorry, I can't help you."
Realizing that his return was a mistake, Shen Nian dragged his luggage, pushed aside Li Xianglan's stumbling figure, and left the residential building without hesitation.
She opened a hotel and planned to stay there temporarily and find a job.
Weng-weng-weng——
The phone rang.
Shen Nian looked at the word 'grandma' on the screen and hesitated whether to answer the phone. His fingertips accidentally touched the key, and Mrs. Fu's voice rang out:
"Bao'er, where are you?"
Listening to this kind voice, Shen Nian's cold heart felt warm:
"Grandma, I'm at home, is there something wrong?"
The old lady sighed and said, "Your mother-in-law is back. Let's have a meal together tonight, which can be regarded as a family reunion."
Shen Nian thought softly, 'Mother-in-law? With the word '', I felt lost for a moment.
Old lady: "Yes, Han Ye's mother came back from abroad last night, and your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have to meet after all."
"Three years ago, I made the decision for you and Han Ye to get the certificate. She, as a mother, is a bit of a provocateur, but don't be afraid. Grandma is here for everything and she will support you."
Shen Nian raised her lips: "Grandma, I..."
She was about to say that she and Fu Hanye were divorced, but there was only a busy tone in her ears.
Fu Hanye returned to Mansion No. 8.
He stood in front of the mirror and looked at the clear blood-red text on the mirror. His eyes were sharp and cold. He caught the words 'divorce agreement' with his peripheral vision, and his dark pupils suddenly widened, and then slowly narrowed again:
Shen Nian was very brave to dare to propose a divorce to him.
The divorce agreement was torn into pieces in his palm and thrown into the trash can.
"dynasty."
He ordered the assistant outside the door.
"Yes, Mr. Fu."
"Go find my wife. If you can't find her, don't come back."
"yes."
Dynasty drove away in his expensive golden Continental, and he stood under the eaves with cold eyes and a dangerous aura all over his body.
In the evening, the sun sets
Shen Nian appeared at the Fu family's old residence, Ye Shuihan Mansion.
Tonight, the Fu family seemed lively instead of the usual deserted state. The old lady squinted her eyes, pulled Shen Nian, and pushed Shen Nian in front of her daughter-in-law:
"Bai Lan, this is Shen Nian, the daughter-in-law I chose for you."
Bai Lan's hair was tied high and her black modified cheongsam made her more noble and elegant. This woman had a cold aura all over her body, and she was not someone she was easy to get close to at first glance.
Her sharp eyes fell on Shen Nian for a long time, and the smile at the corner of her mouth seemed to be absent: "Hello." This 'hello' sounded unfamiliar and even more contemptuous.
Shen Nian only smiled slightly, but she did not address the woman.
Because she didn't know what to call her. After all, she had filed for divorce from Fu Hanye and she planned to tell them about the divorce soon.
The door rang, and Fu Hanye's slender figure appeared at the door. He raised his head and met Shen Nian's eyes. Their eyes met with doubts, alienation, and strangeness.
In front of the elders, the man didn't say anything. He took off his coat and handed it to Shen Nian as usual. Shen Nian looked at the clothes the man handed over and smiled. She took the clothes and hung them next to her. on the clothes hanger.
The movements were coherent, as if she had done this thousands of times.
"Han Ye, have you been busy with work lately?"
Bai Lan's voice was still cold. It turned out that the woman's coldness was not directed at her alone. She also had the same attitude towards her own son, which showed that she was a cold-tempered person.
"generally."
Fu Hanye hadn't seen his mother for many years, and he didn't show any enthusiasm.
The meeting between mother and son is not as good as ordinary friends.
"Grandma Fu, Aunt Bai, I'm here."
As the voice fell, Shen Nian saw a bright red shadow walking in from the door. The woman was dressed very homely today, with very light makeup. She had a ponytail tied behind her head. She didn't look like a big star on TV at all. Shadow is just like the girl next door.
Qiao Anan came to the Fu family's old house.
