After the flash marriage, she became Mr. Zhan's favorite

Zhan Qing suffered a setback from his own son and then stumbled from his own daughter. He realized one thing: he should not start with his own people.

If we can't do it to our own people, we can only start with outsiders.

He couldn't think of any other outsider except Li Chuan.

Li Chuan deserved his bad luck as there was a problem with a project his department was in charge of at the time. As the saying goes, if you walk by the river, you'll get your feet wet.

It is normal to get wet shoes and the loss is within controllable range.

But Zhan Qing found out about this, and he dug a hole for Li Chuan. When Li Chuan jumped in, he quickly filled it up tightly with soil, suffocating Li Chuan.

His company lost a lot of money because of this. Jiang Molian wanted to protect Li Chuan, but the directors were unwilling.

In the end, Jiang Molian had no choice but to follow public opinion and fire Li Chuan.

From then on, Li Chuan's reputation in the industry became ruined.

Zhan Qing put pressure on Li Chuan's family again, saying that if Li Chuan wanted to be with Jiang Molian, he would ruin Li Chuan's reputation and make him have no place to stand in the country.

Li Chuan's family has produced such a promising person for generations. It is not easy to bring honor to the family, and it cannot be ruined by a woman.

Li Chuan's father warned Li Chuan, "If you continue to associate with that woman named Jiang, I will have no choice but to cut my own throat and go to see your mother."

Li Chuan knew in his heart that he was only one-sidedly interested in Jiang Molian. He was quite interested, but Jiang Molian was not.

She obviously just treated him as a colleague.

It takes a long time for colleagues to become lovers.

And he couldn't let his only old father kill himself.

Faced with setbacks in both his career and love life, and with no hope left in his country, he had no choice but to cross the ocean and leave his hometown.

After Li Chuan left, Zhan Qing thought his chance had come, but later he discovered that Jiang Molian was still too cold and not enthusiastic enough towards him.

He was not discouraged and tried to make his presence known in front of her every now and then.

After a year of brushing, Jiang Molian pointed at his nose and scolded him one day, "Zhan Qing, if you come to harass me again, I won't let you see the child."

After Zhan Qing inquired, he found out that his plan to cheat Li Chuan had been exposed, and this incident caused Jiang Molian to lose a lot of money.

She just pointed at his nose and scolded him instead of hitting him, which was really kind and loyal to him.

Zhan Qing knew he was in the wrong. Jiang Molian was angry, and if he offended her again, she might not let him see the child.

His son is fine as he doesn't pay any attention to him anyway, but his daughter is the apple of his eye and he misses her a lot when he hasn't seen her for a while.

You can't lose both your wife and your child.

From then on, he remained silent for a long time and did not dare to appear in front of Jiang Molian.

A few years passed like this, and one day, he learned that Jiang Molian was actually dating a man.

In a fit of anger and impulse, he helped up Feng Qin, his secretary who had always had a crush on him and cared about him silently.

This misstep brought him eternal regret. For countless nights afterwards, he would look at Feng Qin lying beside him, instead of Jiang Molian, the woman he loved.

He regretted his impulsive mistake.

The past cannot be returned, and the love is hard to pursue. Zhan Qing sat at the table and ate with mixed feelings.

Not to mention whether the food was to his liking, just the seat he was sitting in made him unhappy.

Jiang Huashan sat at one end of the large long table, with Li Chuan and Zhan Qing sitting on his left and right respectively.

Next to Zhan Qing sat Zhan Lichen, and next to Zhan Lichen sat Yu Nuan.

Jiang Molian sat down next to Li Chuan very naturally. Her calm action made Zhan Qing's eyebrows twitch.

Although Jiang Molian didn't usually sit next to him, when she sat next to Li Chuan, it was irritating to him.

Old Master Jiang, who was sitting in the main seat, was eating quietly. He should have said a few words to everyone at the table.

His former son-in-law often came to see him. Although he was divorced from his daughter, he always respected him.

One was his daughter's ex-boyfriend, who almost became his son-in-law and was also his student. He came to see him today.

But after looking at the atmosphere between the two people, he wisely chose to remain silent.

Jiang Molian picked up a piece of fish with a serving chopstick and put it in Li Chuan's bowl. "Try this fish and see if it still tastes the same as before."

Li Chuan picked up the fish and put it in his mouth. Then his eyes lit up. "Hmm, it still tastes the same. It is indeed made by Ah Xiang."

A Xiang is the cook in Jiang Molian's family. She has been cooking in the Zhan family since she was young. Later, after Zhan Qing and Jiang Molian got married, Zhan's parents asked A Xiang to follow them to the young family and cook for the young couple.

Jiang Molian picked up another piece of stuffed eggplant and put it in his bowl. "I remember you used to like this."

Li Chuan ate the food and praised it endlessly, "Ah Xiang's cooking skills seem to be better than before. You have found a treasure. If Ah Xiang's cooking skills were not done at your house, she could open a restaurant outside and make a lot of money."

Jiang Molian smiled, "Indeed, her cooking skills are really not comparable to those of ordinary chefs. I once wanted to invest in a restaurant for her and let her be her own boss, but she said she was used to cooking at my house and didn't want to go out and work, and she couldn't bear to leave me."

Li Chuan looked at her and said, "You are a good boss, and she is also a grateful person. The two good things combined are even better."

Zhan Qing sat in his seat with his head down drinking soup. If the soup wasn't cooked well, he really wouldn't have been able to continue listening.

Ah Xiang was originally from the Zhan family, so why didn't anyone come to thank him for embodying the spirit of Kong Rong giving up his pears?

Zhan Qing raised his eyes to look at Jiang Molian opposite her. She seemed to be very happy being coaxed by Li Chuan. That flatterer was really good at flattering others.

Li Chuan was enjoying his meal and said to Jiang Molian, "I remember Ah Xiang made another dish that was quite delicious. It was simmering bacon and bamboo shoots together."

Jiang Molian said, "That dish is a seasonal dish, usually made with winter bamboo shoots. It tastes fresh and warm when the weather is cold. Come over in winter and let Ah Xiang make it for you."

Li Chuan quickly responded: "Then it's settled!"

Yu Nuan watched the interaction between her mother-in-law and Uncle Li, and then looked at her father-in-law Zhan Qing who kept his head down and drank the soup until he was full.

I couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Zhan Qing, and sighed that love is really like a flower in the fog.

Some people see fog, some see flowers, but Zhan Qing is probably in the dark and can't see anything clearly.

Zhan Lichen added more food to her dish and whispered in her ear, "It has nothing to do with you. Eat the food."

Yu Nuan looked up at Zhan Lichen beside her. Hey, it seems that he knows everything. She thought he was carefree, but in fact he knew everything and was just watching the fun from the side.

After finishing his meal, Li Chuan sat for a while and then went back for something.

As soon as he left, a woman wearing a slim red dress, delicate makeup, and holding two gift boxes in her hands came in.

She smiled and said to Jiang Molian: "Sister Lian, long time no see, I came to see you."

She turned around again as if she had just seen Zhan Qing, and said in surprise: "Oh, my husband is here too, what a coincidence!"
