Sensing the impatience that could not be concealed in the other party's tone, Ji Yanli was slightly startled.
He quickly reacted and smiled.
"It's okay. My mother wants to treat you to dinner tonight. I'll pick you up."
Finally, one more thing.
"That's what she meant. My mother feels bad that you have worked hard in the Ji family for so many years."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Finally, Ji Yanli heard Shen Nian gently respond "Okay".
Just when Ji Yanli thought that the other party would not say anything more, a soft voice came from the other end of the phone.
"This meal is not because of you. It would be better for you and me to draw a clear line between us. After all... we are getting divorced."
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
The banquet ceremony didn't come back to consciousness for a long time.
At this moment, a flash of red came into view on the roadside.
It's a flower shop.
The flower shop opened in an inconspicuous location at the corner of the street. Looking from the outside, the decoration inside was fresh and simple, with flowers of all colors vying for beauty on the wooden flower stands.
Ji Yanli usually disdains to enter this kind of shop, but at this time, for some reason, he stopped the car in front of the flower shop.
The flower shop owner is a girl in her twenties, with a round face, fair complexion, and crooked eyes when she smiles.
"Hello sir, do you want to buy flowers?"
The banquet ceremony was slightly nodded.
The flower shop owner smiled slightly and looked at the seasonal banquet up and down, and immediately there was a hint of understanding in his eyes.
"Who is it for? Different flowers have different meanings. If it is for a lover, there are new white lilies here, which represent the close connection between the two hearts."
Heart to heart...
The thought of the Quarterly Banquet was moved, and the heart that was originally prepared to take another look was shaken in an instant.
He nodded.
"Wrap a bunch for me. I want the best in your store."
The flower shop owner's eyes turned into crescent moons, and he quickly turned around and went into the shop to pack.
"okay!"
The white lilies were carefully packed into bouquets, with crystal dew on the petals and long pink ribbons hanging down.
The banquet left with the lilies in his arms, and he placed the bouquet of lilies on the passenger seat.
For some reason, as he put down the flowers, an idea flashed through his mind.
"Put it this way, Shen Nian will see the flowers as soon as he opens the door."
He was thinking this, but he didn't see the slight curve of the corner of his mouth in the rearview mirror.
Heshan Office.
From a distance at the quarterly banquet, I saw the familiar figure standing at the door of the law firm.
Only now did Ji Yanli realize that Shen Nian's back was very good-looking. His long hair was tied low on the back of his head, slightly exposing his snow-white and slender neck. He was dressed in professional attire and outlined his graceful figure.
As long as she stood there quietly, it seemed as if everything around her became picturesque.
The banquet ceremony was stunned.
He had to admit that for a moment, he was stunned by Shen Nian's back.
Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed before Ji Yanli's eyes.
The man walked straight towards Shen Nian.
The person who came was none other than Qi Shengwen, holding a bouquet of gypsophila in his hand and walked up to Shen Nian.
I don't know what the two of them said, but Qi Shengwen smiled brightly, like a peacock with its tail open in the sun, especially looking forward to the festive feast.
The two of them didn't know what they said. Qi Shengwen stuffed the bouquet of gypsophila into Shen Nian's arms.
Ji Yanli's face darkened. He couldn't bear it anymore. He opened the car door and walked quickly towards the two of them.
Qi Shengwen, who was facing him from the side, quickly noticed Ji Yanli striding towards him.
He cast a provocative look at the banquet, and then said loudly.
"I remember that Senior Shen's favorite flower was Gypsophila, so I bought it specially to celebrate Senior Shen Nian's return."
In an instant, hot blood surged to his forehead, and Ji Yanli felt his fist harden.
He was not a grumpy person, but even so, he was still so angry that he wanted to beat Qi Shengwen right away.
Shen Nian and I haven't divorced yet, but this man, Green Tea, is so arrogant. How can this be done after the divorce?
Thinking of this possibility, Ji Yanli secretly clenched his fists.
Considering that Shen Nian was present and it was inconvenient to do anything, he resisted the urge to hit someone.
No, it’s okay not to beat Qi Shengwen, but this marriage cannot be divorced.
It's not that I can't let Shen Nian go, it's just that I can't let this kid take advantage of her.
Shen Nian took the words and thanked him in a low voice.
Seeing Shen Nian's lukewarm attitude at the quarterly banquet, I felt a little more comfortable.
It's good, at least Qi Shengwen's attitude is not much different from his attitude toward himself.
This woman has some conscience, but not much.
Ji Yanli thought so and was about to speak, but unexpectedly paused, but was overtaken by Qi Shengwen.
Qi Shengwen seemed to have suddenly discovered him and greeted him warmly.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Ji? Long time no see. Nice to meet you. I wonder what brought Mr. Ji here?"
Ji Yanli's face turned dark again.
They were both from wealthy families, almost from the same circle, and he and Qi Shengwen did know each other.
But that's just limited to understanding.
When has this person ever greeted me as warmly as he did today?
We didn't even say hello when we met before, but now we are suddenly so warm?
This guy really knows how to pretend.
The banquet ceremony was secretly contemptuous in his heart, but he just nodded lightly on his face.
Shen Nian then looked back at Ji Yanli, his expression still indifferent.
"Oh, it's nothing. Mr. Ji came to pick me up to have a meal. Aunt Gu invited me."
Qi Shengwen's side has already begun to trigger combos.
"I see. I happen to have nothing to do today, so I'm going with you? Mr. Ji won't mind having me as an uninvited guest, right?"
"It's lively when there are many people eating, isn't it?"
The quarterly banquet was silent.
He gritted his teeth, looked at Shen Nian, and squeezed out a few words through his teeth.
"It's up to you. Anyway, my mother is here to treat you."
Shen Nian smiled and didn't take it seriously.
"Shengwen is right, it's really lively when there are so many people. Let's go."
She felt that it was good to have one more person present, at least it would make her less entangled with the quarterly banquet.
However, the moment she lowered her head, she didn't notice Ji Yanli's expression.
Qi Shengwen smiled happily.
"Then you're welcome. Let's go, Mr. Ji, let's get in the car."
Qi Shengwen opened the passenger door and saw the carefully packaged bunch of white lilies inside, with a subtle expression on his face.
Then he smiled.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Ji is also planning to send Shen Luhua away? It seems that we want to go together today."
Ji Yanli took the steering wheel, his expression was cold, and his voice was even colder.
"This is for Xiao Jing, what are you thinking about?"
Qi Shengwen laughed softly.
"Yes, how can anyone send flowers when they are getting divorced?"
In one sentence, it made Ji Banli's teeth itch.
Shen Nian sat quietly in the back seat, listening to what they said to each other, with a slight smile on his lips, but his eyes dimmed slightly.
