The Downs of Marriage

Xu Mei's words made Ji Xuan even more surprised. After all, she should not only know about Sheng Zeyan from magazines or TV, but the kind of understanding she shared with him.

"I didn't expect you to know each other."

"I didn't expect that you were a husband and wife, and I never expected that I would become colleagues with his closest person. I can only say that the world is so small."

Xu Mei's sigh made Ji Xuan feel strange. She always felt that Xu Mei's words had other meanings.

"Actually, I just asked casually, don't worry about it, go to your own affairs." Xu Mei seemed to see Ji Xuan's thoughts and said this hastily.

Ji Xuan also felt too uncomfortable to stay any longer, so she followed Xu Mei's words and left the office.

I just felt wrong no matter what I thought. When I was having dinner with Ren Xiaoyou at noon, I talked about it.

"I really agreed to Editor Xu's words, the world is so small." Ren Xiaoyou was also surprised. She hadn't heard of Xu Mei's acquaintance with Sheng Zeyan when the magazine did the inventory.

But then I think about it. At that time, Xu Mei took out the photo of Sheng Zeyan. I didn't think there was anything at that time. Thinking about it now, it also showed that the two knew each other.

"But I always think that Editor Xu has other meanings, do you think she and Sheng Zeyan just know each other?"

Ji Xuan didn't have to think about other aspects, mainly because when Xu Mei said this, she looked so strange that she had to think like this.

Ren Xiaoyou glanced at her and couldn't help groaning: "Why, now I know that I am worried that others will covet your husband?"

"It's like what you said, I just think it's not that simple for Editor Xu to know Sheng Zeyan." Ji Xuan rolled her eyes and felt that she was not on the same channel with Ren Xiaoyou.

"I think you just think too much, worry about this, worry about that, be careful to age quickly."

Ji Xuan was about to refute, when the phone rang.

Seeing Ji Zhenchuan's name displayed on the screen, she subconsciously glanced at Ren Xiaoyou.

"Sheng Zeyan called?" Ren Xiaoyou saw that Ji Xuan's expression was wrong, and she guessed that way, but when she saw Ji Zhenchuan's name, her face changed, "What is he calling this time?"

Ji Xuan shook her head and said she didn't know, and then answered the phone.

I don't know what Ji Zhenchuan said over there, but Ji Xuan's expression was very solemn, and she answered "OK" and hung up the phone.

"What did he say?" Ren Xiaoyou asked anxiously after Ji Xuan hung up.

"Let me visit Ji's house later and talk about my mother."

"It must be uneasy to let you go now, why did you still agree to him."

Ren Xiaoyou was a little anxious, but Ji Xuan didn't feel worried, "Originally, this matter should be explained clearly. It's better to say it face to face, so you can rest assured that nothing will happen."

"I'm worried that he threatens you to sign some unequal treaty again." Ren Xiaoyou exasperated, she felt that her kindness was treated as a donkey liver and lungs.

"I can count as someone with a bargaining chip now. Of course, I won't let him ride on my head. You have a little confidence in me." Ji Xuan comforted Ren Xiaoyou.

In the past, she relied too much on Ren Xiaoyou, she would consult with her about anything, and she had no opinion at all.

Today is also a good opportunity. She needs to grow up and cannot rely on Ren Xiaoyou for everything.

It's all for this, Ren Xiaoyou couldn't say anything, so he could only explain to her again and again.

"You must not agree to his request casually. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions."

What Ren Xiaoyou thought was that if Ji Zhenchuan threatened Ji Xuan again, and Ji Xuan was unwilling to call Sheng Zeyan, she would contact Sheng Zeyan.

But you can't tell Ji Xuan this to avoid her opposition.

"Got it."

Ji Xuan agreed, and when it was late, she returned to the newspaper first.

In the afternoon, the newspaper had nothing to do. After finishing the work on hand, Ji Xuan told Lao Zhao and left work early and went to Ji’s house.

When Ji Xuan arrived at Ji's house, Ji Zhenchuan hadn't come back, but Lin Yaru came and opened the door.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Yaru frowned, without any intention to let Ji Xuan in.

"My dad asked me to come over, isn't he at home?"

Lin Yaru's brows frowned even more when he heard Ji Xuan's name.

Originally, she didn't want to see Ji Xuan, and this name made her uncomfortable.

There is a thorn in my heart, and there are always people who remind the existence of this thorn. Who can stand it?

"He should still be in the company, you'd better go to the company to find him, after all, home is not a place to talk about things."

Lin Yaru said this deliberately, mocking Ji Xuan as an outsider.

"But he asked me to wait for him at home, he didn't let me go to the company."

Ji Xuan looked embarrassed, as if she could not understand Lin Yaru's irony.

Seeing her like this, Lin Yaru wanted to blast her away.

"If you come in, what do you stand outside the door?"

When Ji Zhenchuan came back, he saw Ji Xuan standing outside the door. He lowered the car window and saw Lin Yaru standing inside the door. He instantly understood what was going on.

"Hurry in and stand outside the door like something."

Seeing Ji Zhenchuan's car, Ji Xuan consciously stepped aside, while Lin Yaru reluctantly opened the door so that Ji Zhenchuan's car could enter.

Seeing Lin Yaru's aggrieved expression, Ji Xuan felt a little happy.

She deliberately called Ji Zhenchuan like that in front of Lin Yaru, but she didn't expect to really poke her sore spot.

How Lin Yaru satirized her, in fact, she didn't care at all, so even if she waited outside, she was fine.

Besides, it is estimated that at this time, Ji Zhenchuan should also be back, and Lin Yaru will still be deflated.

Ji Xuan entered the door happily, and smiled at her when she passed by Lin Yaru, almost not making her angry.

Following Ji Zhenchuan into the study, he did not sell Guanzi, and directly talked about Chai Xiujing.

"Your mother's current situation, you also know that there is no other way except for surgical treatment. I have consulted many lung transplant experts. As long as conditions permit, you can perform surgery on your mother at any time."

Ji Xuan was a little surprised. She didn't expect Ji Zhenchuan to call her over and say this.

But then he also understood that Ji Zhenchuan has now changed his strategy and grabbed the things she cares about most to hold her.

"So, what do you want me to do, continue to hide from Sheng Zeyan, and be Mrs. Sheng at ease?" Ji Xuan didn't go around with Ji Zhenchuan. She also remembered Ren Xiaoyou's words and didn't want to continue to be controlled by Ji Zhenchuan.

Ji Zhenchuan offered to operate on Chai Xiujing, of course it is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing to look at it from another angle.

Saying that the operation is just a matter of lip service. When the operation is really done, it will be a different handle being threatened by Ji Zhenchuan.

"Since you all understand, why make it so clear?"
