When Aunt Shi saw the cured meat, she exclaimed with delight, "Ah Feng, where did you buy this? I ate this when I went to the countryside, and I still remember the taste vividly."

Uncle Shi had never eaten it before. He grew up in Lancheng and never went to the countryside, even during the ten years of educated youth being sent to the countryside.

"This thing is all black, how can it taste good?"

Aunt Shi vouched for the cured meat, saying, "If it's prepared well, it will definitely taste delicious. I'll make it for you next time I have time."

Uncle Shi simply nodded indifferently, "Hmm, we'll see." Actually, he wasn't interested in strongly flavored food, only in his wife.

Shi Tingfeng felt a little awkward watching his aunt and uncle's awkward conversation.

They don't seem like a married couple; they seem more like a superior-subordinate relationship.

Looking at Shi Tingfeng, Uncle Shi admired him more and more, and asked with a smile, "Tingfeng, what have you been busy with lately?"

Looking at his uncle's serious face, Shi Tingfeng honestly replied, "I recently took on a construction project..."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I know that Mr. Chen only let me make money because of you, Uncle..."

Shi Tingfeng recounted the whole story to Ye Xiuzheng in detail, afraid that he might miss something that would affect Ye Xiuzheng.

He knew in his heart that if his aunt hadn't married his uncle, he wouldn't have been able to enjoy the protection of his uncle's family.

Ye Xiuzheng looked at the young man in front of him with great satisfaction. This child had not been corrupted by money, and he acted with discretion and integrity.

Ye Xiuzheng said with satisfaction, "Yes, I have always believed in your character, Tingfeng. You have never disappointed your aunt."

"I can use connections that can be used, but you can't break the law. I can't tolerate criminals here. No matter who you are, if you break the law, you won't get through."

Even if they are their own sons, it won't work.

Ye Xiuzheng has lived half his life, and he has always acted in accordance with the law. We can't let outsiders ruin his reputation.

The Ye family has been a prominent family in the area since the Republic of China era. They were extremely loyal to the government and donated money and goods during times of national hardship.

The Ye family is impeccably virtuous and upright, and can absolutely withstand any test.

He wasn't unaware of some things, but he simply didn't want to dwell on them. As long as it wasn't a major issue, he could turn a blind eye.

However, one thing must never be compromised in the interests of the nation.

His two sons were just like him in their studies, but unfortunately they weren't close to him. Tingfeng, on the other hand, got along quite well with him.

His two sons have stable jobs now, but they are not married yet.

When he divorced his mother, his sons felt that he, as their father, had wronged her, and now they are very indifferent to him.

Therefore, she refused all the requests he, as her father, made.

However, Ye Xiu was not lacking in filial piety from his children, and he didn't feel anything about his sons' indifference.

Ye Xiuzheng is a rather aloof person and not very good at expressing his emotions, so his relationship with his ex-wife wasn't great.

His ex-wife was the kind of person who was quite dependent on men, and Ye Xiu was not considerate towards her. Over time, their incompatibility became apparent.

Ye Xiuzheng is a workaholic. He loves his work more than his wife and children. His two children were raised by their grandparents from a young age.

He didn't spend much time or energy on his child, just giving him living expenses and checking on his studies. Everything else was handled by his staff.

Therefore, Ye Xiuzheng is not very close to either of the children.

Ye Xiuzheng was basically not involved in his child's upbringing, so it's understandable that the child isn't close to him.

As for relying on his children for old age, Ye Xiuzheng doesn't need that; the state will arrange his affairs after his death.

Actually, the two children were conceived through Ye Xiuzheng's schemes, so it's normal that Ye Xiuzheng doesn't like them. He has no interest in cultivating feelings for his wife and children.

Therefore, Ye Xiuzheng did not explain the reasons for his divorce to his two children, nor would he go to such lengths.

Two years after his divorce, he married Shi Huan without telling his two children or parents. His marriage to Shi Huan was based on mutual benefit, and there was no need to publicize it.

Because Shi Huan doted on her nephew Shi Tingfeng, Shi Tingfeng was often invited to live at Shi Huan's house when he was a teenager.

Although Ye Xiuzheng doesn't go home often, he can still see Shi Tingfeng when he does come back occasionally. Since they always have some face and affection when they meet, Ye Xiuzheng also takes care of Shi Tingfeng to some extent.

When Shi Tingfeng is out, even without specifically mentioning his aunt and uncle, people know he has connections in the Education Bureau, and some will readily give him preferential treatment in his work, making things much easier for him.

Recently, people outside have heard that Director Ye has a chance for promotion, and Shi Tingfeng is now doing better in his work.

While Shi Tingfeng was working hard on his career, he also made time to check on his girlfriend.

Dong Yizhi went to the provincial capital with her friends today. She is not short of money now. Shi Tingfeng is worried that she will not have enough money, so he sends her money every two days.

She doesn't feel guilty at all spending Shi Tingfeng's money now, after all, it's money he gave her willingly, and Shi Tingfeng even told her to have fun without worry.

Dong Yixin said that she was the most obedient and would do whatever she was told.

Zhizhi, who is currently enjoying herself in the provincial capital, was invited out by her friend today to go shopping.

Today she wore an elegant dress, her skin was fair and delicate, and her eyes were bright and pure. She was simply the image of the white moonlight that men could never forget.

Walking in a crowd, she is a beautiful sight, with a clear and lively look in her eyes.

Lin Yue looked at the woman walking towards her from a distance with amazement in her eyes, so she ignored the slight unease in her heart.

I knew Dong Yizhi was beautiful when we were in school, but now she has even more feminine charm.

Beautiful people look good in any form.

……

Having had so much fun these past two days, Dong Yizhi only snapped out of her daze when Shi Tingfeng called, remembering that she still had a boyfriend who needed her attention.

Shi Tingfeng: "Zhizhi, what have you been busy with these past few days? Have you missed me?"

Dong Yizhi: "...I've thought about it."

"Really?" The tone was full of doubt.

"Really, I think about it every day." Actually, I hadn't thought about it at all, but I had to be firm in my tone.

Shi Tingfeng didn't care whether she really wanted to or not, and just kept talking according to his own thoughts.

"Since you miss me, I'll come see you tomorrow. You're in the provincial capital now, right? It only takes me a day by plane to get there."

Ah~ Dong Yizhi was taken aback. She was having so much fun and wasn't ready to meet him.

You know, men are really something. When you're together, you think about them all the time, but when you've been apart for a while, you don't even think about them anymore, and then they suddenly reappear.

Does he have some kind of mind-reading ability? Did he know I was about to forget him, so he came looking for me again?

"Oh, what time are you arriving tomorrow? I'll pick you up from the airport."

"No need. You can stay in a hotel now. I'll find you myself later. Besides, it's not convenient for you to go to the airport."

"Besides, there are things to do in the provincial capital, and we might not even see each other tomorrow."

Dong Yizhi was secretly delighted. She hadn't adjusted her mindset to see him yet, and this was a good opportunity for her to calm her wild heart.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the hotel tomorrow. Give me a call when you arrive."

The hotels where Dong Yizhi stayed all had telephones, so the two of them had been in frequent contact recently.
