Gao Ning should have returned to the capital. So far, Gao Ning has not appeared in front of Lu Xi, so she felt a little strange.

She didn't believe that Gao Ning would completely let go of the past grudges. It was unreasonable for him to not jump out of the happy mood when he was such a happy person.

And it seemed that she had not contacted Fu Nanzhou. At least there was no sign that Fu Nanzhou had gone to see Gao Ning behind her back.

The more Lu Xi thought about it, the more strange it seemed to her. However, she did not think about it any further and hurried to see Zhuang Yi and Ji Rou.

Ji Rou stood there, her whole body stiff, but her shoulders were shaking, as if she was trying hard to control her emotions.

"Ji Rou, you..." Zhuang Yi wanted to say something.

But Ji Rou suddenly looked at her fiercely, her eyes misty and bloody with anger, she asked sharply, "Zhuang Yi, are you satisfied?"

Zhuang Yi's face turned cold as well. "What do you mean by am I satisfied? Don't be so rude. I'm just afraid that after you get married, you'll find out that he doesn't like you at all."

Ji Rou felt extremely embarrassed at the moment, put on her scarf again, gritted her teeth and said, "I shouldn't have come today!"

After saying that, she stepped on her boots again and left angrily.

“Ji Rou.”

Lu Xi shouted, but Ji Rou turned a deaf ear to her. Lu Xi sighed helplessly. This matter caused a lot of trouble.

She looked at her best friend again.

"It's okay, don't worry about me, I'm not that fragile, divorce is a fact, unhappy marriage is a fact, Ji Rou is not wrong."

After saying this, Zhuang Yi went back and continued to pick the pomegranate.

Lu Xi sighed slightly, sat down in front of Zhuang Yi, and turned her lively deer eyes, "Let me tell you a joke."

"Go ahead." Zhuang Yi was not interested.

Lu Xi said: "They say that when a girl chases a boy, it's easy. But when a boy chases a girl, it takes a car, a room, and her mother to get between them."

Zhuang Yi rolled his eyes at her and said, "In my case, it should be the other way around, and are you kidding me?"

Lu Xi smiled awkwardly, and when he saw his brother, he suddenly said, "Then here comes another one. My brother bought a pot of mimosa today, and he didn't feel shy no matter how he moved it. My brother asked the boss why the mimosa wasn't shy? The boss said: Maybe the pot you bought is shameless."

Zhuang Yi was instantly shocked, "Hahaha, Brother Shen Mo's reputation has been damaged."

Shen Mo was called out, and he placed the milk tea he bought for the girls on the coffee table, and calmly continued the conversation, "Yesterday when I went upstairs, I saw an old man carrying something, and it was very hard. I wanted to help him, so I blurted out: Old man, grandpa, let me help you carry it."

"Hahaha, Brother Shen Mo, you are so funny." Zhuang Yi laughed out loud.

At this time, Fu Nanzhou also finished his work and went downstairs. Hearing Shen Mo's words, he said casually: "A patient with indigestion complained to the doctor, "I have been very abnormal recently. I have poop whatever I eat. I have poop when I eat cucumbers and watermelons when I eat watermelons. How can I be normal?" The doctor was silent for a moment and said, "Then you can only eat shit."

Zhuang Yi had just stuffed a handful of pomegranate seeds into his mouth when he heard Fu Nanzhou's words and was immediately disgusted. He glared at Fu Nanzhou with disgust, "Fuck, little uncle, did you do this on purpose?"

Lu Xi was also speechless. How could he, who was usually very aloof and reserved, tell a joke about his father?

Fu Nanzhou also felt quite aggrieved. Wasn't this all a joke?

"Old Fu, listen to what you are saying? You're telling a joke, right? Let me tell you one." Pei Shaoqing's voice came from the door.

He and Qin Xiaoru came.

Qin Xiaoru was petite. She was wearing Pei Shaoqing's coat, which already reached her calves. She had a round baby face and looked like a child who had stolen adult clothes.

"Sister Xiaoru." Lu Xi was surprised. She hadn't seen Qin Xiaoru for a long time and she was very happy.

Qin Xiaoru threw Pei Shaoqing's clothes to him and said, "Xixi, Yiyi, long time no see. I missed you so much."

She ran over.

Pei Shaoqing handed the coat to the servant, with a cynical smile on his handsome face, "I just heard you guys telling jokes, Brother Pei will tell you one."

He paused, looked at Qin Xiaoru, and smiled frivolously with his thin red lips, "I miss your head, your mouth, and I miss you so much that I drool. I love your skin, your back, your neck and thighs, your liver, your lungs, your body and your fragrance. I will love you forever."

Pei Shaoqing has a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, which seem to be filled with stars when he smiles. At this moment, they are full of spring colors and his eyes are full of charm.

Qin Xiaoru's face flushed red, she grabbed a large pomegranate and threw it at him, "I'll beat you to death, you big pervert!"

Pei Shaoqing took a breath, quickly jumped to the side, caught the pomegranate with his bare hands, and widened his eyes, "I was talking about roast duck, you are so self-indulgent, and you blame me for being lustful? You have feelings for me, right?"

Qin Xiaoru became even angrier. She jumped up and chased Pei Shaoqing to beat him up. The two of them jumped up and down like children.

Lu Xi was overjoyed, and Zhuang Yi also laughed out loud, "I am dying of laughter. Brother Pei just likes to act like a jerk. He always gets beaten up by Sister Xiaoru, and he never learns his lesson."

Lu Xi smiled and nodded, "The old wounds haven't healed yet, and new wounds have been added. But although he seems to be provoking Sister Xiaoru, he is actually confessing his love, right?"

Zhuang Yi whispered, "Sister Xiaoru has someone she likes, and she doesn't like Brother Pei. She has a one-sided crush on him."

Lu Xi also felt sad. "Brother Pei is such a good person. He is handsome, rich, and good-looking. Most importantly, he is a hacker. He is super powerful."

Fu Nanzhou had been silently helping to peel the pomegranates. When he heard these words, he couldn't help but glared at Pei Shaoqing.

He decided that he had to learn how to hack into accounts. He also wanted to be a hacker and make his wife adore him!

It's very lively when young people get together. They cook and eat together, play cards and mahjong. It's very lively.

On the other side, it was a different scene at Jiang Yizhou's place. Both father and son worked overtime until after ten o'clock before returning home.

The servant brought the food to the table, and Jiang Buhui personally went to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of Moutai.

"Dad." Jiang Yizhou frowned. His father's blood sugar has been a little high recently and he shouldn't drink alcohol.

Jiang Buhui broke away from his hand and said tiredly, "Drinking helps relieve stress and fatigue. How about a couple of drinks?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yizhou stopped trying to stop them. He opened the bottle himself, took out a fine blue and white porcelain wine cup, and poured a glass for the two of them.

"Come on, let's have a drink." Jiang Buhui raised the wine cup.

The father and son clinked their glasses, tilted their heads back at the same time, and drank the wine in the cup.

Although it was just a mouthful, the spicy liquor still left a burning sensation as it slid down the throat.

They were not talkative people to begin with, and no one spoke, so the atmosphere was very depressing.

"Yizhou, your mom is gone. We will have to move on sooner or later. Dad will tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I feel relieved now that your mom is gone.

“You may think that Dad is cold and heartless, but to be honest, when your mom was alive, her constant suspicion and manipulation made me feel suffocated.

“I have been controlled by her all my life, and it is because of your mother that you and Zhuang Yi have ended up in this situation.

"Now that your mother is gone, you can do whatever you want. Dad hopes you can live a freer life."

As a father, how can you not know the pain your son is feeling?

Jiang Yizhou was stiff and his voice was hoarse, as if his throat was burned by strong liquor. "Dad, Yiyi and I are ready to divorce."

"I know, but you can remarry after divorce, and you two haven't divorced yet." Jiang Buhui reminded.

Jiang Yizhou poured another glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all before saying bitterly: "But Dad, it's too late, it's too late, Yiyi has already aborted the child. Just two days before my mother's funeral, she went alone to abort our child. She didn't even tell me in advance, just didn't give me this opportunity.

"I was thinking, this is fine. My mom hurt her so much when she was alive. What right do I have to ask her to forget the past and be with me?"

Jiang Buhui's pupils suddenly shrank, and he opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.

The father and son drank in silence. The brilliant fireworks in the night sky formed a sharp contrast with their loneliness.

Soon, Jiang Yizhou got drunk, picked up his coat and staggered out of the villa.

"Master, where are you going?" the driver caught up with him.

Jiang Yizhou raised his head, looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky, and suddenly said, "Send me to a place."

He went to the Capital Eye where he had proposed to Zhuang Yi before and rode the Ferris wheel by himself.

His eyes were blurry. He recalled the scene of proposing to Zhuang Yi here before, his deep and unrepentant promise, Zhuang Yi's happy smile at that time, and the scene of them kissing here.

But the more beautiful the memories were, the more painful his heart felt, as if a piece of it had been dug out of it.

It hurts.

He felt sorry for Zhuang Yi.

How did they get to this point?

He closed his eyes in grief, tears rolling down his cheeks. He cried for a long time and somehow ended up calling Zhuang Yi.
