Shen Nian's smile was beautiful, like an orchid blooming in the empty valley.

Even Zhou Xiaojing, who wanted to eat her alive immediately, was dazzled by her smile.

Shen Nian no longer paid attention to the mother and daughter of the Zhou family who were stunned.

She walked briskly toward the door.

Let Zhou Xiaojing scream loudly behind his ears.

"Bitch, just wait for me, I want you to die badly!"

Shen Nian walked along the hospital corridor humming a song softly, feeling quite good.

In her heart, she was actually grateful to the Zhou family and her daughter for taking action, allowing her to finally make up her mind to regret it.

However, Shen Nian's good mood soon disappeared the moment he saw the quarterly banquet.

She saw Ji Banli at the end of the hospital corridor.

Shen Nian and Ji Yanli saw each other almost at the same time, and then spoke in unison.

"Why are you here?"

Both of them were stunned again.

Ji Yanli's eyes flickered slightly, but was quickly replaced by a sharp look.

At that moment, countless doubts came to Ji Yanli's mind.

He told Shen Nian in a cold voice.

"Shen Nian, you must explain to me today why you appeared in Zhou Xiaojing's hospital."

Shen Nian didn't answer, just smiled.

"Can't I catch you? After all, you are still my husband in name only."

Shen Nian said this deliberately, just to disgust the quarterly banquet.

But for some reason, as soon as the words came out of her mouth, her cheeks felt hot.

The banquet ceremony looked at Shen Nian.

She was still wearing the black professional attire she wore at work, but the hairband on her head was changed to a retro wooden hairpin with the tail carved into a pattern of flowing clouds. For some reason, Ji Yanli thought it looked better this way.

It was clear that the other party's words were thorny, but when Ji Yanli heard them, they felt more pleasant to his ears than ever before.

There was a slight sweetness in his heart.

After thinking about this woman for so many days, Shen finally said a human word.

However, just as the quarterly banquet came to its senses, Shen Nian had already left quickly.

After Shen Nian left, Ji Yanli even smelled the faint orchid fragrance left on the hair of the other party in the air, and the fragrance was just like his own.

The quarterly banquet went to Zhou Xiaojing's ward.

At the door of the ward, he heard Zhou Xiaojing sobbing and cursing.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The banquet ceremony frowned.

This was not the Zhou Xiaojing he knew.

In my impression, Zhou Xiaojing is obviously a lovely sister who leads the family. I don’t know why, as she grows up, she looks less and less like she was when she was a child.

He was a little curious as to who the "two bitches" Zhou Xiaojing was talking about.

However, despite being angry, Ji Yanli still knocked gently on the door of the ward.

He doesn't like being an eavesdropper.

What Ji Yanli didn't expect was that when he heard a knock on the door, the crying inside stopped for three seconds, and was replaced by a woman's hysterical roar.

"How dare you, a bitch, come back?! I'm telling you, it's too late! It's too late! Just wait until you can't survive in the legal profession and sell yourself out!"

The banquet ceremony was startled.

At this time, a feeling of disgust arose in his heart.

This feeling was unprecedented when facing Zhou Xiaojing.

Who is this hysterical woman? Is it still the Zhou Xiaojing he knows?

He is not a fool, and he will not excuse her from the bottom of his heart when hearing the other party act like this.

Nor is it based on years of friendship.

The banquet suppressed the inappropriate emotions in his heart and raised his hand to gently knock on the door.

The knocking sound was clear.

"Xiao Jing, it's me."

The yelling at the door suddenly stopped.

Zhou Xiaojing coughed, his tone was delicate, and he returned to Ji Yanli's familiar demeanor.

"Brother Yanli, please come in."

Ji Yanli frowned, but after hesitating, he opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhou Xiaojing, who seemed to be boneless, leaning on the head of the bed, looking at him with soft eyes, as if they could drip water.

She pretended to be so good, and her acting skills were so good that she even fell into a trance during the banquet.

Is the woman who was hysterical in the ward just now really Zhou Xiaojing?

When Zhou Xiaojing saw Ji Yanli come in, she quickly curled up her small mouth, showing an aggrieved look, and she said softly.

"Brother Yanli, that lawyer is too deceitful!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [ [~~~~~~~

However, what surprised Zhou Xiaojing was that this time Ji Yanli did not immediately appear to comfort himself like before.

Instead, he just stood there and stared at himself, his eyes so distant that Zhou Xiaojing was unfamiliar.

Time passed by in silence, and Zhou Xiaojing was on pins and needles every moment that Ji Banli said nothing.

Ji Yanli asked calmly.

"what happened?"

Zhou Xiaojing leaned weakly on the hospital bed with half of his body, looking at Ji Yanli with tearful eyes.

"Brother Yanli...I..."

What Zhou Xiaojing was about to blurt out was interrupted by Ji Yanli's cold voice.

"Xiao Jing, talk nicely."

Ji Banli reminded him, his voice was still light, and he couldn't hear much emotional ups and downs.

However, Zhou Xiaojing felt a chill rising up his spine for no apparent reason.

She and Ji Yanli were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. She could easily detect Ji Yanli's subtle emotional changes.

But Zhou Xiaojing didn't think much about it.

She never thought that a small lawyer could have anything to do with the quarterly banquet ceremony.

At best, Brother Yanli forced the young lawyer to help the Zhou family with the lawsuit for his own sake.

Zhou Xiaojing was shocked and confused, but after being scolded, he put away his previous tone and suddenly spoke more coherently.

"Brother Yanli, that lawyer came to see me."

Ji Yanli still frowned, waiting for her next words.

"I originally wanted to have a good talk with her and ask my mother to pour her water herself, but she...she was so fierce. She scolded me as soon as she came up..."

As he spoke, Zhou Xiaojing's voice couldn't help but have a hint of crying.

He looked extremely aggrieved.

Just listen to Zhou Xiaojing continue talking with added words.

"She wanted to break the contract. I didn't agree and begged her to save my father. But I didn't know what I said wrong. She actually pointed at my nose and cursed me, calling me a prostitute... "

As Zhou Xiaojing spoke, she even believed it, with tears of grievance filling her eyes.

She looked at Ji Yanli pitifully, expecting the other party to give her a pitying glance.

But the facts still disappointed Zhou Xiaojing.

Ji Yanli's eyebrows have not yet relaxed, and there is even a tendency to become deeper and deeper.

Zhou Xiaojing called out softly and tentatively.

"Brother Yanli? Brother Yanli?"

Ji Yanli seemed to have come to his senses, and he looked at Zhou Xiaojing expressionlessly.

"In this case, I will investigate and find out the cause and effect."
