Ruan Yi didn't know why Jiang Mingzhu returned to China this time, nor did he know where Jiang Mingzhu, Xu Siyan, and Zhou Li had progressed.
With such curiosity, Ruan Yi checked the news before going to bed, and found out that Zhou Li actually had a fiancée.
Ruan Yi usually doesn't pay attention to gossip, and he's been busy with the house recently, so he won't even look at it.
The relationship between Zhou Li and his fiancée seems to be very good, and the two often attend various occasions together.
Judging from the news, things between Zhou Li and Jiang Mingzhu seem to be a thing of the past.
What about Jiang Mingzhu and Xu Siyan?
If she didn't get in the way, the possibility of the two of them getting back together was quite high.
After Ruan Yi read the news, he once again thought about divorce.
——
Ruan Yi has been cooperating with a foreign design center this year. The person in charge happened to be on a business trip to Beicheng these days, so Ruan Yi came to the Intercontinental Hotel to meet her.
The person in charge of the design center is a Chinese woman in her thirties named Ling Wei, who usually takes good care of Ruan Yi.
Although the two have never met officially, they have known each other's appearance through video chats before.
Ruan Yi and Ling Wei had dinner at the restaurant of the InterContinental Hotel, and they had a pleasant chat.
After saying goodbye to Ling Wei, Ruan Yi came to the hotel basement alone.
She didn't expect that less than two days later, she would meet Jiang Mingzhu again.
However, the person beside her this time was Zhou Li.
The two of them didn't know what conflict had happened, and they were at war with each other. Zhou Li pushed Jiang Mingzhu to the car, lowered his head and kissed her.
Ruan Yi was stunned for a moment.
Then, Zhou Li opened the car door and stuffed Jiang Mingzhu into the car.
The car didn't drive away, and Ruan Yi could guess what happened inside without using his brain.
Ruan Yi was a little dizzy and got into the car in a daze. On the way back, he kept thinking about what was going on.
Doesn’t Zhou Li have a fiancée? Why is he still pestering Jiang Mingzhu?
And Jiang Mingzhu and Xu Siyan...
Ruan Yi realized that he really couldn't understand the relationship between the three of them.
She desperately wanted a definite answer, but found she had no one to ask—
She has been married to Xu Siyan for more than two years, and she is completely unfamiliar with his friends.
If I had to pick one, the person with the most contact would probably be Zhou Li——
But thinking of Zhou Li's cold look, Ruan Yi flinched a little: If she went to ask Zhou Li, could she find out the reason?
When Ruan Yizheng was struggling, Wan Liu called.
Ruan Yi returned his attention and answered the phone: "Mom."
Wan Liu: "Yiyi, are you free on Saturday? I'll take you to an event."
After two years of hard work, Wan Liu no longer had any hope for Xu Siyan. In addition, Xu Siyan was very busy with work. If there were any activities, Wan Liu would give priority to taking Ruan Yi there without even contacting Xu Siyan.
In her words: She gets upset when she sees Xu Siyan.
Ruan Yi is also used to accompanying Wan Liu to these occasions, and will go whenever he has time: "Okay, Mom, I understand."
——
Saturday afternoon.
Ruan Yi was taken to have a look by Wan Liu, and then accompanied her to the charity event.
Today is a charity auction, and there will be a reception after the end.
Ruan Yi didn't expect that Zhou Li would also come.
He was accompanied by his fiancée, Xu Yingfei.
Ruan Yi met Xu Yingfei for the first time. She was very beautiful, very capable, and a typical career-oriented lady.
Standing next to Zhou Li, it matches him well enough.
Ruan Yi's eyes stopped on the two of them for a long time.
Zhou Li and Xu Yingfei seemed very affectionate at first glance, but Ruan Yi always felt that something was missing——
She recalled the scene she accidentally saw in the hotel basement that day.
When he was with Jiang Mingzhu, Zhou Li behaved more like a lively person, because he would lose control only if he cared.
He and Xu Yingfei seemed to be respectful to each other, but it seemed that neither party was very involved.
Ruan Yi thought for a long time and finally decided to go to Zhou Li.
While Zhou Li went to the terrace to answer the phone, Ruan Yi was waiting nearby for him to come out.
Zhou Li came out with a cold face. As soon as he approached, Ruan Yi felt the cold aura on his body.
She subconsciously got goosebumps, and she bravely called out "Mr. Zhou".
Zhou Li glanced at her coldly: "You have something to do with me."
Ruan Yi knew that he never liked beating around the bush, so he nodded: "I have something to ask you."
Zhou Li: "Oh."
Ruan Yi: "I want to know, between Miss Jiang and Si Yan..."
"Impossible." Before Ruan Yi could finish asking, Zhou Li had already interrupted her: "They didn't have anything to do with each other before, and they won't have one in the future."
Ruan Yi was stunned for a moment.
It didn't matter before?
Ruan Yi: "Can you tell me more specifically?"
Zhou Li: "Why are you asking this?"
Ruan Yi: "Back then, I planned for him to marry me, and he was also a victim. I couldn't trap him for the rest of his life, so I thought..."
"If you want a divorce, let him and Jiang Mingzhu get married." Zhou Li took her words expressionlessly.
Ruan Yi: "..."
Zhou Li: "They have never been together, don't you understand?"
Ruan Yi: "..."
Zhou Li: "Even without you, they wouldn't be together."
Zhou Li put down these words and left. Ruan Yi stayed there alone in silence for a long time, with countless possibilities flashing through his mind.
Zhou Li said that Xu Siyan and Jiang Mingzhu had never been together, which meant that they were "in love" before for show.
Put on a show...for him?
But why? What is Jiang Mingzhu’s unspeakable secret that forces her to cut off her relationship with Zhou Li in this way?
Ruan Yi became more and more confused as he thought about it, without any clues.
——
Early on Sunday morning, when Ruan Yi had a video call with Ling Wei to discuss work, he learned that she had a fever and was being given an intravenous drip in the hospital.
The season changed recently and it rained again in Beicheng. Ling Wei probably caught a cold at that time.
After learning that Ling Wei had a fever, Ruan Yi immediately went to Ruijin Hospital to visit her.
Ling Wei's fever reached nearly 40 degrees, and the doctor recommended hospitalization for a few days. Ruan Yi accompanied Ling Wei in the emergency ward to get her blood pumped, and then went to handle the hospitalization procedures for her.
After Ruan Yi sent Ling Wei back to the ward, he planned to go out and buy some things for her.
There were very few people coming and going in the single ward area of the private hospital. As soon as Ruan Yi opened the door, he spotted Xu Siyan's figure.
She was stunned for a moment, and before she had time to consider why Xu Siyan came to the hospital, she saw Zhou Li's figure not far away.
Xu Siyan walked up and stopped in front of Zhou Li: "You came to see Jiang Mingzhu."
Hearing this name, Ruan Yi's eyelids started to jump.
Xu Siyan and Zhou Li were talking about Jiang Mingzhu.
Her intuition told her that the questions she was curious about would be answered today.
Ruan Yi found a corner to stand, stopped and listened carefully to their conversation.
Xu Siyan said to Zhou Li: "When she made that choice, she didn't want you to experience her pain again. She only loved you from the beginning to the end, and she acted with me because of-"
"So, should I be grateful to her?" Zhou Li had already interrupted him, "I won't be with her."
