The next morning, it was cloudless and a beautiful day.
Yu Huaiyi was fine at first, but under the care of the Yu family in the past two days, he gradually improved.
Early in the morning, Shen Nian saw his grandfather being moved around in the yard, being supported by a servant. She was about to step forward to help, but was driven away impatiently by the old man.
"Xiao Nian, go and do your own business. Grandpa is being taken care of here, so you don't need to come."
Yu Huaiyi felt like he was facing a formidable enemy at this moment, and guarding Shen Nian from coming was like guarding against a thief.
Shen Nian pursed his lips and smiled.
She also knew that she could not defeat the old man, so she stopped stepping forward.
After leaving the front yard, Shen Nian raised her face and looked at the golden sunshine. The sunshine was a bit strong and she couldn't help but squint her eyes.
In more than a year, she has never seen sunshine as good as today.
Last night, she stayed up all night.
She is not alone now, she has children. For the sake of her child's future life, staying in the Yu family was not a long-term solution after all. She had to return to work and build a new home for her child.
She decided to go back to school to teach first.
Having made up her mind, Shen Nian's thoughts returned to reality, and then she realized that she had walked to the entrance of Zhongshan Park without knowing when.
She dialed the number for the banquet.
The other party answered the phone almost immediately.
Shen Nian hesitated for a moment. In his impression, the banquet was not busy enough to stare at the phone all the time, right?
It must just be a coincidence.
"Mr. Ji, are you free at eight o'clock tomorrow morning? If so, I'll meet you at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Shen Nian said softly.
The voice of the quarterly banquet sounded a little tired for some reason.
"Are you so impatient?"
She didn't even wait for him to reply "I'm free".
Sure enough, women are heartless creatures.
The relationship between husband and wife for more than a year was nothing in her eyes, not even worth a trace of nostalgia.
Shen Nian felt funny in his heart.
Isn't she giving way to Ji Yanli and his childhood sweetheart?
Just by listening to this guy's tone, I thought I owed him.
Shen Nian was about to say something, but Ji Yanli on the other end of the phone broke the silence first.
"If you have time, let's do it tomorrow."
Shen Nian nodded.
"OK."
She put down her phone and was about to hang up when she suddenly heard a voice full of surprise from behind her.
"Miss Shen? I didn't expect you to be here too!"
Shen Nian was stunned, turned his head, and saw Qi Shengwen with a face so enthusiastic that it could even be called diligent.
at the same time.
Ji Yanli was sitting in his private office, and the words "Miss Shen" fell into his ears exactly, and his face looked very ugly now.
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger and jealousy inside him.
They haven't divorced yet, so she has someone else so soon?
Okay, Shen Nian.
I was wrong about the person before.
When the Quarterly Banquet spoke again, his voice seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
"Chen Nian, who is the man next to you?"
However, what answered him was a busy tone from his cell phone.
Before he spoke, Shen Nian had already put down his phone and did not hear his question.
The banquet was silent for a long time before he put down the phone with a dark face. At this time, his face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water.
There was an indescribable feeling slowly spreading in his heart.
Angry? Or is it loss?
They are a bit close, but it seems impossible to tell.
Or perhaps he was just surprised. He was surprised that he and Shen Nian had been together day and night under the same roof for a year, but he didn't realize that there was another side hidden under her docile appearance...or many sides.
Ji Banli was silent in front of the desk for a long time, and then realized that he actually felt empty in his heart because of the woman's betrayal.
He didn't know what this emotion was. Maybe it was just the faint feeling of emptiness and melancholy when he saw the ugly duckling he had raised for a long time fly away after growing up.
There was a knock on the office door suddenly.
Ji Yanli was stunned and raised his head.
"Please come in."
The door was gently opened, and Zhou Xiaojing came around from the outside.
"The banquet is me."
She smiled slightly, and the diamonds on the newly purchased custom-made leather bag on her arm were dazzling under the light, making her look even more noble.
There was a hint of darkness in Ji Yanli's eyes.
He had to admit that the moment he opened the door, he vaguely hoped in his heart that the person who came in was Shen Nian.
If it is Shen Nian who comes in, then he must ask the other party why he always hangs up his phone impatiently, and what is the relationship between that man and her...
He had many things that he wanted to ask Shen Nian face to face.
Zhou Xiaojing's every frown and smile were planned on the way here, but she didn't find any surprise in the man.
On the contrary, she saw disappointment flash across the other person's eyes.
Zhou Xiaojing blinked, and for a moment, she even wondered if she had seen it wrong.
She calmly stepped forward, but while she was distracted at the banquet, she quietly glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, only to see a note in the form of "wife" clearly displayed on it.
Zhou Xiaojing's heart suddenly tightened unconsciously, and there was a slight sourness.
She clenched her fists secretly, and her newly made exquisite manicure hurt her palms. Only in this way could she barely maintain the false smile on her face.
"Yanyan, are you angry with your sister again?"
Zhou Xiaojing said, taking a step forward and slowly leaning towards Ji Yanli.
As the distance between the two became closer, Zhou Xiaojing could smell the pleasant and refreshing scent of cedar on the other person's body.
The banquet ceremony frowned, but still said "yes", which was regarded as acquiescence.
The corners of Zhou Xiaojing's mouth curled up in pleasure.
"Brother Yanli, don't be angry, and don't blame me for being harsh. In fact, you and her have unequal statuses."
"You grew up in the upper class and went abroad to study for a doctorate. But she didn't even go to college. It's impossible for you to have anything in common."
She was so excited that she didn't notice that the knot between Ji Yanli's brows was getting deeper and deeper.
"Brother Yanli, it's actually quite good that you and your sister divorced. My sister has such a low education and no skills. She must have low self-esteem after being with you every day, right?"
She said, reaching out to gently squeeze Ji Yanli's shoulder, but was pushed away by the other party.
Zhou Xiaojing was stunned.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that Ji Yanli looked at her with a trace of unprecedented alienation.
The scent of cedar that surrounded him seemed to become harsh and inviolable.
"Xiao Jing,"
The banquet ceremony was patient and said in a deep voice.
"We are already adults. Between adults, we should pay attention to the defense between men and women. Don't get so close to me."
Zhou Xiaojing's outstretched hand just hung in the air, at a loss what to do.
Her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Brother Yanli...I...I didn't mean that..."
Zhou Xiaojing smiled self-deprecatingly, slowly closed his eyes, and shook his head vigorously.
"I understand. It must be that my sister is usually too strict. You are afraid that she will be jealous, so you don't dare to get too close to me."
Her face was still as pale as after the miscarriage, and her thick black curly eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings. With this expression, she looked particularly pitiful.
Ji Yanli was stunned, but after looking at her expression, he couldn't bear it anymore.
He was actually a little angry at first, but she...after all, she was the sister he grew up watching.
Besides, he just had a miscarriage, and he couldn't bear to be harsh.
The banquet took a deep breath.
"Xiao Jing, if you need anything, come see me another day. I want to be alone now."
Zhou Xiaojing pulled out a fragile but stubborn smile.
"I have nothing to do, I just wanted to come and see you..."
The quarterly banquet suddenly interrupted.
"You are already married, so you can spend more time on your own family."
With good intentions, he reminded.
"But my family...it's not like you don't know..."
Zhou Xiaojing's face changed slightly, and the tears that had been accumulating in his eyes finally fell like broken beads.
The overwhelming grievances suddenly came like a tide.
What did she do wrong? Why did brother Yanli suddenly distance himself from her?
Could it be that brother Yanli really cares about his wife, but why? !
A idiot who has never studied in college is not worthy of carrying shoes for upper-class people like them.
She couldn't bear it anymore, turned around suddenly, covered her face and left.
Before leaving, I even forgot to help Ji Banli close the office door.
The next day.
At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
I barely slept well the whole night at the banquet, and I was still a little uneasy when I drove the next day.
However, just as he was about to park his car in a parking space near the Civil Affairs Bureau, a brand new pure white Ferrari made a gorgeous side parking in front of him and parked in the parking space he had originally chosen.
Ji Yanli's eyebrows jumped, and he couldn't help but look inside the car window after being shown off his skills.
Through the car window, some things cannot be seen clearly.
But Ji Yanli still relied on the familiarity of getting along day and night for a year to recognize the woman in the car.
It's Shen Nian!
How can she drive?
Are your driving skills so good? !
Ji Yanli just watched the woman get out of the car gracefully, and then he suddenly reacted. He opened the door and got out of the car. He gritted his teeth and smiled at the familiar yet unfamiliar woman in front of him.
"Shen Nian, you are driving without a license."
Shen Nian's lips curled up imperceptibly. She reached out and rummaged through her bag twice. When she took her hand out again, she already had a thin driver's license between her fingers.
"Driver's license, do you see it clearly?"
As she raised her hands, Ji Yanli noticed that her fingers were slender and her nails were neatly manicured. Thinking of the fancy manicure on Zhou Xiaojing's hands, she didn't know why, but now she just felt that Shen Nian's hands looked inexplicably seductive.
He was slightly distracted looking at Shen Nian's hand, and even ignored the provocation in her tone.
The banquet's gaze shifted to the white Ferrari next to Shen Nian.
"Where did the car come from?"
He remembered that in Shen Nian's divorce agreement, it was written that he should leave the house after getting clean.
Where did she get the money to buy a car?
Shen Nian raised his chin slightly and sneered.
"I saw it on the road, liked it, and snatched it."
