The eldest daughter is committing suicide, and the marriage partner comes to redeem her

After listening to the contents of the recorder, Shen Zhiyan had already cried out of breath. She knew that her father was not that kind of person.

The woman sat on the sofa, curled up in a ball, which made people feel heartbroken just by looking at her.

Li Yanzhou half-knelt beside the sofa, stretched out his long arms, and pulled the person into his arms.

"Baby, stop crying."

He tried his best to coax her, as if they had never been apart.

Perhaps it was the man's embrace that brought back the long-lost sense of security, and the crying gradually became quieter, and the sobs disappeared in the chest.

The woman looked down, as if she was tired of crying, and closed her eyes. Her face was red from crying, with traces of tears still lingering on it.

The slender fingers wiped away the tears with great care, being extremely cautious not to hurt the delicate skin.

--------------

In the confinement center, Jiang Ruoli stared at Shen Zhiyan from head to toe, and finally couldn't help but gossip again:

"Does this count as a reunion between you and Li Yanzhou?"

The door of the room was not closed tightly, and the living room outside could be seen through a gap.

Hearing the name, Shen Zhiyan subconsciously looked outside.

Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to sense something and looked at her with an obscure gaze. The gaze with thousands of hooks seemed to be able to pull her over at any time.

A brush on the cheek raises the temperature.

Shen Zhiyan avoided her gaze and held Jiang Ruoli's hand.

"not yet."

"Hasn't this happened yet? Li Yanzhou's eyes are almost glued to you."

Jiang Ruoli was well taken care of during the confinement period and looked radiant, especially her small face, whose skin was so clear and bright that it seemed to be glowing.

After hearing this, the fox eyes flashed with gossip, and the soft body couldn't help but lean towards her good sister.

"Yanyan, you are amazing. Li Yanzhou is really willing to be so ambiguous with you?"

Given his personality, shouldn't he force love on her?

Who would have thought that now he would follow her Yanyan obediently, without any status or position, and not dare to say no.

Hearing this, Shen Zhiyan glanced at him without any intimidation.

"What's unclear? I've already said that we are just... ordinary friends now."

Jiang Ruoli couldn't help but sneered, "Friends? Apart from my husband, what friends can Li Yanzhou have?"

Shen Zhiyan, this obedient little white rabbit, may not even realize that she will be eaten step by step by the big bad wolf one day.

Pei Zigui also looked at Li Yanzhou through the door, with a teasing look on his face. Perhaps the woman inside didn't know that every word of their conversation was heard by them.

"Ordinary friends?" Pei Zigui raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but sneered. "When did you have friends?"

Li Yanzhou withdrew his gaze from the gap, opened his eyelids, and didn't feel anything was wrong, his brows were full of calmness.

"She's my only 'ordinary friend', any opinion?"

"No problem." Pei Zigui pretended to raise his hands, suppressed the smile on his face, and lowered his voice: "Is that matter resolved?"

Li Yanzhou glanced at the crack in the door again, his tone was visibly relaxed, but there was also a hint of helplessness hidden in his voice.

"If she doesn't know the truth, I'm afraid I won't even be able to be called an ordinary friend."

After a while, Li Yanzhou heard Pei Zigui jokingly say a word he didn't quite understand.

"Chasing wife to the crematorium?"

No need to guess, he must have learned it from his beloved wife.

Li Yanzhou repeated in confusion: "What crematorium?"

It sounds unlucky.

"Describe your current relationship with Shen Zhiyan." Pei Zigui patted his friend's shoulder and gloated, "I wish you success soon."

Li Yanzhou didn't say anything, but his fingers hanging down to the side kept tapping on the corner of the table.

------------------

The full month celebration of the little prince of the Pei and Jiang families was bound to be a grand celebration. The two great grandfathers took over the entire hotel, wishing to announce to the world that today was the full month celebration of their great grandson.

This momentum is hundreds of times more grand than the full moon party held for Ye Die's child that day.

As for Pei's father, the old man thought he was a nuisance and had sent him abroad a long time ago. In name, he wanted Pei's father to retire, but in reality, he just turned a blind eye to him.

A plane flew across the sky, and its exhaust gas wrote the words "happy birthday". The entrance of the hotel was filled with blue balloons and flowers, and luxury cars loaded with guests came in an endless stream.

"Oh, please hurry up! I said I would come by myself. It's not convenient for you to pick me up from the hospital to the company. It will waste time. The party is about to start."

Xu Mengan got out of the car, pulling at her skirt and cursing. Xie Youran, who was behind her, was as obedient as a big golden retriever, holding a gift in his hand and following her closely.

"Our names are both written on the invitation, so of course we have to come together. Otherwise, what will we do if we can't get in?"

Xie Youran freed one hand to hold the woman who was walking forward on her own, "Wait for me."

Xu Mengan stopped and asked, "Will our faces not fit in?"

That's right, even if you can't get in, you can call Jiang Ruoli. Xie Youran's words were obviously lies.

"I'm not lying." Xie Youran was visibly guilty for a moment, and continued to explain: "My parents are here today, and I'm considering the overall situation. If they misunderstand that our relationship is not good, won't you be in trouble?"

"That's true." Xu Mengan thought about it and took Xie Youran's arm. "Our agreement is about to expire. You should think about how to explain it to Mr. Xie and his wife."

The two of them walked into the banquet hall arm in arm and in unison.

As luck would have it, I saw Xie Youran’s parents as soon as I entered.

"Thank you, ma'am."

Mrs. Xie pretended to be surprised: "This child, I have told you so many times, just call me uncle or aunt."

She pulled Xu Mengan over and introduced her to the people around her: "This is Anan, Youran's girlfriend."

They were all familiar friends from aristocratic families, so they couldn't help but joke around. The people around them naturally turned their attention to the two children and said cheerfully:

"You Ran has grown up so fast. At that time, he even wanted to go abroad to be a battlefield doctor."

"Yes, the two children are really a perfect match. It seems that good things are about to happen."

Father Xie nodded and smiled, then patted his old friend on the shoulder: "It will be soon, let's have a drink then."

After these words were spoken, Xu Mengan's face changed slightly and he laughed awkwardly.

One lie needs to be covered up with countless lies. It feels really bad to deceive people.

Fortunately, this topic was not discussed any further. Instead, another man came. When he saw Xie Youran, he raised his voice and joked, "If it were me, you could have come back a long time ago. Now that you have a successful career, it would be better for your parents to get married early. That war correspondent or doctor is dangerous and meaningless. Young people are really..."

The people in their circle immediately tacitly stopped talking.

Xie Youran was young and energetic at that time, and this incident caused quite a stir in Jiangcheng, and everyone in the circle heard about it.

The tone of voices of others was full of worry, but when it came out of this man's mouth, it had a hint of mockery.

Xu Mengan frowned slightly, took Xie Youran's arm again and suppressed his anger.

She smiled at the impolite man and said, "What you said does not make any sense. My boyfriend took the initiative to go abroad to work as a doctor without borders. I am very proud of him, and I believe that uncle and aunt are the same as me.

On the contrary, some people live their whole lives in a muddle, and when they die, they cannot even say what meaningful things they have done to benefit mankind. That is a boring life. Don’t you think so?”

Xu Mengan looked at the other person, not at all afraid of his seniority.

The temperature around them suddenly dropped and a laugh broke the deadlock.

He is Xie Youran’s father.

There was admiration and genuine love in Mr. Xie's eyes.

"I think what Meng An said makes sense." He raised an eyebrow at his son, "You little brat, you found a good girlfriend."

Xie Youran's anger, which was about to rise in his throat, was suppressed by Xu Mengan's few words, and he couldn't stop smiling at all.

Xu Mengan must love him very much, otherwise why would she protect him so much?

What to do, he loves me even more.

After the two of them left, someone curiously asked Xie's mother, "I wonder which family in Jiangcheng is You Ran's girlfriend?"

Mother Xie's eyes were still fixed on Xu Mengan's back with appreciation, and her voice was clear: "Anan is not someone's daughter. She is herself, the girl that Youran likes. This is the most important thing for us."

After leaving, Xu Mengan went straight to the backstage. Jiang Ruoli was still getting her hair done in the dressing room. The stylist was carefully tying up her silky hair.

Pei Zigui, dressed in a suit and tie, half-knelt beside his wife, carefully applied anti-friction ointment on her heels, and then helped her put on her high heels.
