"Sister-in-law, I helped you last time, but you treated me so badly." Xu Huaiyu looked at the environment of the rice noodle shop with disdain and complained.

Jin Mingzhu raised his chopsticks and tapped him on the head, then said:

“This is the best rice noodle shop in Beijing.”

Xu Huaiyu touched his head and laughed. He knew what she wanted to ask, so he answered directly:

"Sister-in-law, I have sent someone to send your little lover to Yuncheng for you. I have also sent someone to watch him. He will not return to Jingshi again."

Jin Mingzhu felt relieved, as this was also the purpose of her meeting with Xu Huaiyu today.

"Thank you."

Seeing that she looked more relaxed, Xu Huaiyu couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Sister-in-law, you look pretty when you smile."

Jin Mingzhu instantly stopped smiling and solemnly reminded:

"Xu Huaiyu, I am your sister-in-law."

"Does this stop me from liking you?" He looked at Jin Mingzhu with a smile on his face.

He was talking nonsense again. Jin Mingzhu turned away and looked around the store.

Dissatisfied with her distraction, Xu Huaiyu knocked on the table in front of her and said directly:

"Sister-in-law, I really mean it."

Hearing this, Jin Mingzhu turned around, looked at him steadily, and said softly:

"Xu Huaiyu, do you know? In fact, you don't like me at all, but you like something in me that you don't have."

The other party looked a little confused:

"Ok?"

She looked at him, sighed, and explained patiently:

"Xu Huaiyu, you grew up in a complicated environment. You were treated as an illegitimate child since you were young, and your mother only told you to endure and not resist."

"Your mother sacrificed everything for love, including you. She loved Gu Ziqian more than anything else. Of course, she also sacrificed many things, and you were her victim."

Jin Mingzhu explained in detail and saw Xu Huaiyu's face becoming darker and darker.

"But, Xu Huaiyu, do you know? You are a complete person. You cannot choose your birth, but you can choose how to live."

"Now, you have the ability to decide how you want to live. Authority is not authority, and Gu Ziqian is not worthy of being a father. You don't have to be afraid of him."

After hearing her words, Xu Huaiyu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he looked up at her.

"Even if someone steps on you at the bus stop, you should at least scream out, letting others know that they stepped on you. You have to stand up and fight back, against everything they impose on you."

The other party seemed to be moved, and murmured:

"Can I really?"

She encouraged softly:

"Resist your parents with the same attitude you used against Gu Huaijin, and you will discover a new world."

At this time, the shop owner brought two bowls of rice noodles. Xu Huaiyu took them, picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites. As Jin Mingzhu said, this was the most delicious rice noodles in Beijing.

When saying goodbye, Xu Huaiyu was no longer as frivolous as before, but instead became more calm.

"Can I find you again in the future? Jin Mingzhu."

"Of course, we are friends." Jin Mingzhu smiled and extended her hand to him.

There seemed to be tears in Xu Huaiyu's eyes, and he shook her hand in a friendly manner.

The moment they separated, he stuffed a note into her hand and said in a low voice:

"Open it later."

After Xu Huaiyu got in the car and left, Jin Mingzhu unfolded the note, which contained a phone number.

She had a vague idea of ​​something, and standing in the public telephone booth, she calmed herself down and dialed the number with trembling hands.

A familiar, somewhat tired voice came from the other side:

"Hello."

She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said calmly:

"Xu Yang, I'm Jin Mingzhu, how are you?"

"婠婠!" There was a scream, followed by the sound of something being knocked over, as if someone tripped over something.

"I'm fine. Are you okay? Did Gu Huaijin do anything to you?" Xu Yang asked anxiously.

"No, he's very nice to me."

After a long silence, Jin Mingzhu kept clenching her hands inward, her nails digging into the flesh of her palms, forcing her to calm down.

"Xu Yang..."

"I'm here, Kanan."

"Let the past be the past. We can never go back to the past. You should live a good life, get married and have children. I will bless you."

The person on the other end of the phone roared in pain and choked:

"Xianxian, how can I build my happiness on your pain? How can you let me feel at ease and pretend that nothing happened?"

Tears oozed from the corners of her eyes. She bit her lower lip tightly and pretended to be calm:

"Xu Yang, I'm really fine, you don't have to worry about me."

"We all have to live well. Xu Yang, thank you for loving me and giving me happy times." She almost sobbed and hung up the phone before the other party could speak.

"Let's not contact each other anymore."

She hung up the phone, her eyes flushed. She turned around and found Chen Chuan waiting beside her.

"Madam, Mr. Gu is waiting for you."

She responded. She had sneaked out today when he was away, so it was not surprising that she was found.

She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and let Chen Chuan guide her into the car.

It was early autumn and a cold wind blew suddenly. Seeing that she was lightly dressed, Gu Huaijin ordered the heating to be turned on full blast. He took her hand, caressed it, and helped her warm up.

"Why didn't you have anyone to accompany you?" he asked softly.

"I'm just meeting a friend, I don't need anyone to accompany me."

He said "hmm". Jin Mingzhu didn't know whether he believed it or not, so she didn't say anything else.

Gu Huaijin knew the news almost the moment she slipped out of the door. Her clothes and shoes were secretly equipped with locators, so it was easy to find her.

When he heard that she was going out, Gu Huaijin immediately dropped an important meeting and drove to follow her.

He saw how happy and relaxed she was when she was chatting with Xu Huaiyu, and how distraught and crying she was when she called Xu Yang.

Seeing that she was blowing the cold wind, she couldn't sit still and asked Chen Chuan to invite her up.

When I looked up and saw the tears at the corners of her eyes, my heart tightened involuntarily. I hugged her and wanted to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Jin Mingzhu reflexively shrank back to avoid his hand.

Gu Huaijin's hand stopped in mid-air, slowly lowered, and took out a handkerchief:

"There's dirt on your forehead, wipe it off."

"Thank you." Jin Mingzhu took the handkerchief and wiped it a few times.

Neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere in the car fell silent again.

As the car drove towards Gu's house, Gu Huaijin asked tentatively:

"Xianxian, do you want to go back to work in the newspaper?"

She was stunned. Gu Huaijin was willing to let her go back to work. A hint of expectation flashed across her face:

"Is it really possible?"

The other party held her hand and said with a little more tenderness in his voice:

"You can go back if you want."

"I want to go back."

The other party responded, raised his hand to touch the corner of her eye, and said softly:

"Nian Nian, don't cry for other men anymore. I'll be jealous."
