Jiang Mingzhu: "Good evening, will you come here to eat too?"
After saying this, she glanced in Jiang Wan's direction.
Jiang Mingzhu did not take the initiative to ask Jiang Wan's identity, but after her glance, Jiang Wan introduced himself to her: "Hello, you two, I am Ruan Yi's friend."
Jiang Wan introduced himself very appropriately and did not say anything ambiguous or misleading. At least for now, Ruan Yi has not accepted his pursuit, and their relationship is limited to this.
Because of Jiang Wan's words, Jiang Mingzhu had a pretty good impression of him, and at the same time she was a little more certain -
It is absolutely impossible for Ruan Yi and Jiang Wang, two such measured people, to commit such a thing as cheating in marriage.
Therefore, Ruan Yi and Xu Siyan's divorce was probably due to frustration.
——
After coming out of Yongye Club, Ruan Yi and Jiang Wan went for a walk on the road together.
While chatting, they inevitably talked about Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li, who had just met by chance.
Jiang Wan easily guessed their identities: "That woman is the one he likes, right?"
Ruan Yi nodded.
Jiang Wan: "She and her husband are a perfect match."
Ruan Yi continued to nod.
Zhou Li and Jiang Mingzhu really match each other when they stand together. One is public and the other is restrained, but they are not obtrusive at all. It is as if their existence is to be embedded in each other's life and make the other more complete.
Jiang Wan stared at the tall buildings in the distance and smiled, expressing his opinion: "Even if that incident hadn't happened, they wouldn't have been able to be together. I really don't know why you feel sorry for him."
Ruan Yi: "I know they won't be together, but that's not the reason why I designed him. If it's wrong, it's wrong."
Although the quarrel with Xu Siyan during the divorce was not very pleasant, Ruan Yi always felt that he was innocent in this matter.
Jiang Wan was helpless after being told by Ruan Yi. He raised his shoulders and said, "Okay, I admit that I am partial to you and I can't stand him treating you like that."
Ruan Yi: "It's all over. Didn't you say that? Look forward."
After she said this, Jiang Wan suddenly took a big step forward, stood in front of her, and held her shoulders with both hands.
The street lights and her figure reflected in his eyes were extremely serious.
"Look ahead, it's me, think about it." His words had a meaning, how could Ruan Yi not understand.
To be fair, what Jiang Wan did was indeed touching, but being moved and being moved are two different things.
Ruan Yi herself has experienced the kind of unilaterally unresponsive feelings. She thinks her mentality is pretty good, but there will still be times when she breaks down and can't hold on.
So she didn't want Jiang Wan to be like that.
After Ruan Yi thought for a while, he solemnly said to Jiang Wang: "Give me some time to sort it out, otherwise it will be unfair to you."
Jiang Wan pinched Ruan Yi's face and said, "When will you have lower demands on yourself? There is no fairness in relationships, and it's not like a lawsuit."
Ruan Yi: "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
Jiang Wan: "Look, we have nothing, and you are already asking yourself to repay me."
His voice became more and more helpless, "I made a unilateral decision to pursue you. You giving me something in return shows that you are kind. It is reasonable not to respond. When you like him, you know that you cannot use your emotions to kidnap him to respond to you. Why don’t you understand when it happens to you?”
Ruan Yi was speechless by Jiang Fan's sharp questions.
He was right about one thing. She had always had relatively high moral standards for herself.
Therefore, she is not able to enjoy other people's pursuit and overtures with peace of mind.
Sometimes Jiang Wan is too good to her, and she even feels a psychological burden because she knows that she cannot give him the response he wants most——
Jiang Wan: "It's okay. I have a lot of time anyway. I won't put pressure on you, and you shouldn't put pressure on yourself. Can we get along like you do with ordinary friends?"
Ruan Yi nodded: "Okay."
——
Xu Siyan was so drunk that he fell asleep and fell unconscious.
Yuanye and Fu Xiaozhi helped him into the car together.
Yuanye closed the car door and said to Xiaozhi: "You go back first, be careful on the road, I will send him back."
Fu Xiaozhi glanced into the car, "Did he drink so much because he fell in love with Ruan Yi, or was it because of Thursday?"
Yuanye: "I guess, they all have it."
Fu Xiaozhi: "He and Zhou Zhou really have a bad relationship."
Yuanye also sighed, who said it wasn't the case?
When the three of them quarreled over Jiang Mingzhu, he thought it was the limit of bloodshed, but he didn't expect that Ruan Yi also liked Zhou Li.
Fu Xiaozhi remembered the question she had not had time to ask before: "How did you find out that she likes Thursday?"
Yuan Ye: "Originally, I made a wild guess, but later I found a love letter at Ruan Yi's house."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Written to Thursday?"
Yuanye: "Probably so."
Fu Xiaozhi: "What is should?"
Yuan Ye: “It’s not signed, maybe I didn’t intend to send it out when I wrote it.”
"But it's easy to reason. If she didn't like Fourth Brother, why would she listen to Fourth Brother and sacrifice her youth to marry someone she didn't like?" Yuanye told Fu Xiaozhi his logical speculation: "She may just love Fourth Brother to a certain extent, and she would rather sacrifice herself to fulfill him."
Fu Xiaozhi simply couldn't agree with this idea: "... Then why don't you guess that the person she likes is Xu Siyan? That's a big mistake."
Yuanye: "That's impossible."
He told Fu Xiaozhi the news he had learned before: "Si Yan asked her, and she said that the person she likes got married and had children, and it will never be possible in this life."
Fu Xiaozhi: "..."
Yuanye: "I'll send him back first, and we'll talk about this another day."
——
After the divorce procedures were completed, Ruan Yi's life was not much different from before.
She still commutes to get off work on time every day, and her life is uneventful.
Wan Liu and Xu Moyan would still send her messages to care about her, and Ruan Yi would reply, but he would rarely contact them proactively.
After all, they are divorced. Xu Siyan will find a new girlfriend in the future, and they will also have a new daughter-in-law. She should still have a sense of boundaries and exit as soon as possible.
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since I divorced Xu Siyan.
That afternoon, as soon as Ruan Yi returned to the office after class, he heard people in the teaching and research group discussing big news.
Some entrepreneurs donated a batch of equipment to the laboratory of their department, which seems to be worth several hundred million.
It is normal for entrepreneurs to support college education, but this is indeed the first time Ruan Yi has seen such a big deal in the past few years of his work.
She never paid much attention to these things, so she couldn't help but ask: "Which company is it?"
Colleague: "Huitong Biotech, the one whose stock price has soared in the past few years."
Ruan Yi: "..."
What a coincidence.
She said nothing, and then she could hear the sounds of her colleagues discussing stocks.
Ruan Yi sorted out the lesson plans for tomorrow's class in front of the computer. She made an appointment with Jiang Wan for dinner in the evening, and when she saw that it was almost time, she had to get off work.
However, as soon as I closed the computer, the director came to me: "Xiao Ruan, you go to a dinner with me tonight."
