However, time did not allow Shen Nian to continue thinking deeply.
Gu Xiangqin saw that Shen Nian's expression was wrong, and stepped forward to support him with concern.
"Xiao Nian, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Nian looked pale and nodded.
Qi Shengwen on the side also straightened up immediately.
Gu Xiangqin said.
"Go back to your room and rest first. Don't leave in a hurry. I'll call the private doctor at home to take a look at you."
Shen Nian forced a smile.
"No, thank you, aunt. I just ate something bad yesterday, and it will be fine if I spit it out."
Gu Xiangqin looked hesitant.
Shen Nian said quickly.
"No need really."
She didn't want the Ji family to discover the child.
Shen Nian understood that if this child was exposed, his marriage would probably be impossible to divorce.
She did not want to continue this loveless marriage, but planned to raise the children alone.
Gu Xiangqin was silent for a moment, nodded, and finally compromised.
"That's okay, but let's rest in your bedroom today. It won't be too late to set off tomorrow."
With that said, he personally sent Shen Nian back to his room.
After Shen Nian and Ji Yanli got married, they had been sleeping in separate rooms.
Even if it was the night of the quarterly banquet, when Shen Nian opened her eyes the next day, the other party would inevitably disappear from the bedroom.
It seemed that Ji Yanli was unwilling to see her for a little longer.
Recalling the neglect of the seasonal banquet in the past, Shen Nian felt a slight sense of loss in his heart.
At the same time, it also strengthened the determination to divorce.
Children are innocent, but quarterly feasts are not.
Shen Nian was helped back to the bedroom by Gu Xiangqin.
On the dining table, only two grown men, Qi Shengwen and Ji Yanli, were left, looking at each other.
Qi Shengwen couldn't help but taunt him.
"I think it's your little lover Zhou Xiaojing who likes to eat okra. Don't you think so, Mr. Ji?"
He had not watched the Qi Banquet for a long time.
In Qi Shengwen's heart, Shen Nian is the god of the aloof legal world, but the god in his heart is married to Ji Yanli and is still suffering from injustice in the marriage.
This made him unable to swallow this breath for Shen Nian, and he had been looking for an opportunity to express his bad breath to Ji Yanli.
Ji Yanli's face was covered with a layer of frost, and his voice was bone-chilling.
"I don't know if Zhou Xiaojing likes to eat okra, why, you know her very well?"
Qi Shengwen said with a smile.
"Why should I know Zhou Xiaojing very well? She is not my wife. What obligation do I have to know what she likes to eat?"
There was a thorn in his words, and every word went straight to the nerves of Ji Banli.
Ji Yanli snorted coldly and was too lazy to answer.
Gu Xiangqin came down from upstairs and saw the two people sitting opposite each other from a distance. He smiled slightly and said to Qi Shengwen.
"Xiao Nian has gone back to the room to rest. You should go back early, otherwise it will be too late and it will be dark and it will be difficult to leave."
She just had to issue an order to expel the guest, and the meaning of expulsion was obvious in her words.
As soon as Shen Nian left, Qi Shengwen didn't bother to bother with the mother and son. He nodded and smiled after hearing this.
"Then I will come visit my aunt another day. Next time I come, I will make up for the gifts this time."
Gu Xiangqin pouted.
"Walk slowly without seeing you off."
She didn't say the last sentence: Never again.
What kind of guy dares to compete with the Ji family for a wife?
After the foreign enemy left, Gu Xiangqin became angry when she looked at her boy. She glared at Ji Yanli and said angrily.
"You're a smart kid, and you know how to call Xiao Nian home for dinner. But you can't even drive Qi Shengwen away."
The quarterly banquet was silent.
Gu Xiangqin stepped on Ji Yanli angrily.
However, she seemed to remember something and looked at the quarterly banquet with a trace of uneasiness in her eyes.
"You kid...you won't go behind my back and go see that Zhou Xiaojing again today, right?"
"Your mother and I have lived for most of my life. Xiaonian seems to have a lot of opinions about you today, which can still be seen."
Ji Yanli was startled, and he was silent for a moment again, nodded, and did not forget to add.
"I just went to have a look. Xiao Jing committed suicide. I went to the hospital to have a look. It's the kind of look between normal friends."
Gu Xiangqin stepped on Ji Yanli's instep.
This foot was so powerful that Ji Yanli felt an excruciating pain on the instep of his foot, and the toes of the opponent's high heels seemed to be digging into his flesh.
The pain in the banquet ceremony made his facial features slightly distorted, but he was still a little unconvinced. Looking at Gu Xiangqin's angry face, he defended.
"My friend committed suicide and is in the hospital. It's normal for me to go and take a look. There is nothing wrong between me and Zhou Xiaojing. We are not afraid of slanted shadows when we are upright."
"Mom, I don't understand. I'm going to see a friend, so what?"
Gu Xiangqin was so angry at him that she covered her heart and couldn't calm down for a long time. After she calmed down, her first reaction was to give this kid a kick.
Ji Yanli sat aside silently, waiting for her to scold him.
However, after waiting for a long time, Gu Xiangqin didn't say anything.
Ji Yanli raised his head with doubts in his eyes.
"mom......?"
Gu Xiangqin covered her heart, took a deep breath, and asked seriously.
"Do you still want to get back together with Xiao Nian?"
The banquet ceremony hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
He thought, he did.
Although he was reluctant to marry Shen Nian at the beginning, but now he wants to continue with Shen Nian.
"Since you want to get back together with Xiao Nian, then listen to Mom's advice and make a clean break with that woman Zhou Xiaojing."
The banquet ceremony frowned.
"But there is nothing between me and Zhou Xiaojing."
There is nothing in the first place, so what's the point?
Zhou Xiaojing is just an ordinary friend who grew up with him, so he has always regarded her as his sister.
There is nothing in the first place, so where is the dust?
Gu Xiangqin said angrily.
"Your mother has been looking at people for most of her life, but she still can't recognize you juniors?"
"That girl Zhou Xiaojing is very crooked. You and she don't want to be friends. Cut her off as cleanly as you can, and stay as far away as you can."
Ji Yanli felt that Gu Xiangqin was exaggerating and originally wanted to refute.
But suddenly I remembered that when I went to the hospital to see Zhou Xiaojing today, the other person deliberately held my hand and begged me to find a lawyer.
I don't know why, Ji Yanli felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, as if he was suddenly taken advantage of, and he was particularly unhappy.
So the words of defense were swallowed silently by him without speaking out.
"If you really want to get back together with Xiao Nian, just listen to mom and break up with Xiao Jing completely, otherwise..."
As he said that, Gu Xiangqin sneered.
"I don't think there's any hope for you and Xiao Nian to get back together. Don't delay other girls by procrastinating."
The banquet was silent for a moment, but I was still a little unconvinced.
"But are she and that Qi Shengwen completely divorced?"
He had listened to most of Gu Xiangqin's words, but for some reason, when he said the promise, he still thought of that annoying Qi Shengwen.
