5-year-old Chi Nai returned to ten years ago. At that time, her CEO father Baiyi Chi had just taken over the Chi Group, and her actress mother Yuan Yao Qin was still a third-tier actress with a bad...
After Wu Ningwei finished speaking, she pushed her suitcase and walked out.
Then, she realized a problem.
Changshu Village is located in a remote area, with no taxis and not even ride-hailing services available.
The villagers usually travel by their own electric bikes or by hitching a ride on other people's cars.
Previously, she always traveled in Feng Wenhe's car.
Now that they're getting a divorce, how is she going to go back to W city alone?
When Feng Wenhe saw her take a few steps and then stop, holding her phone, she guessed what was going on.
"You can't get a taxi, can you? This place is so remote, taxis usually don't come here. Look at you, you said you wanted a divorce, but now that you really have a divorce, you're having a hard time leaving here." Feng Wenhe said with a hint of smugness.
Wu Ningwei ignored him.
She refused to believe that even if she increased the price, no ride-hailing service would be willing to come.
Once she leaves Changshu Village and gets to the city, she has many ways to get back to W City.
"Stop throwing a tantrum. Do you really think you'll be better off after the divorce? You haven't been in the workforce for five or six years; you have no idea how tough society is these days..."
A piercing horn beeped, interrupting Feng Wenhe's words.
Feng Wenhe then noticed a car parked in front of the yard.
Qin Yuanyao got out of the car, opened the back door, and said to Wu Ningwei, "Sister Wu, are we going back to W City? We can go together."
"Thanks." Wu Ningwei came over without hesitation, pushing her suitcase.
"Ningwei—Ningwei—" Feng Wenhe wanted to comfort Wu Ningwei.
But Wu Ningwei had already resolutely put her suitcase in the trunk, got in the car, and left.
Chi Nao and Chi Baiyi had already left in the car that came to pick them up. Yao Mu arrived a little later, and Qin Yuanyao just happened to run into Wu Ningwei and Feng Wenhe, who were pulling and arguing.
Qin Yuanyao disliked Feng Wenhe's manipulative remarks.
That's why she stepped forward to offer Wu Ningwei a ride.
Although Yao Mu and Qin Yuanyao both knew what had happened, neither of them mentioned Wu Ningwei and Feng Wenhe after Wu Ningwei got into the car.
Qin Yuanyao simply asked, "Sister Wu, where did you take me?"
"Wherever you go, just leave me there," Wu Ningwei said.
Qin Yuanyao nodded: "Okay."
Wu Ningwei's family is not in W City, and she does not own any property. Her only home in W City was the house she lived in with Feng Wenhe's family.
She plans to find a cheap hotel to stay in after arriving in W city, and then rent an apartment the next day.
Fortunately, she had been careful and had a little bit of savings, so she wouldn't be penniless now that she's ready to divorce.
It's laughable to think about it now. The reason she saved some money on her own was because she was always too embarrassed to ask Feng Wenhe for help whenever she wanted to, or even if she mustered up the courage to ask, Feng Wenhe and Shi Hefen wouldn't be happy to hear it.
I never imagined that her little bit of secret savings would come in such a useful way...
...
After returning to W City, Qin Yuanyao began her busy filming life.
One day, she received a WeChat message from Chi Baiyi.
This was two months ago, during the first season of the show "Little Family," when she video-chatted with Chi Baiyi because she wanted to sell apples. This was the first time the two had contacted each other.
At first, she was a little surprised when she saw the WeChat message from Chi Baiyi, thinking that Chi Baiyi had sent it to the wrong person.
Only after reading the contents carefully did she realize that the message was indeed sent to her.
[Chi Baiyi: Are you free tonight? There's been some progress regarding Cui Yi, and I wanted to share it with you and Cheese. If you're free tonight, come over for dinner, and I'll tell you about Cui Yi.]
Cui Yi's matter is the same as the cheese matter.
Qin Yuanyao agreed without hesitation.
Qin Yuanyao: Okay, I'll go there after I finish work this afternoon. I should be able to finish work around 6 PM today.
Chi Baiyi breathed a sigh of relief after sending "Mm".
He was also worried that Qin Yuanyao wouldn't agree to come to his house for dinner.
Cheese is indeed more useful.
Tonight, Chi Baiyi got off work earlier than usual.
Back home, Chi Baiyi instructed the kitchen staff to prepare extra tasks before telling Chi Naozi that Qin Yuanyao would be coming over for dinner that evening.
Chi Nao jumped for joy: "Really? Really? Sister Qin is really coming to eat?"
Chi Baiyi: "Mm."
"Dad, did you invite Sister Qin over for dinner?"
Chi Baiyi: "Mm."
"Why?" Chi Nao's bright almond-shaped eyes sparkled with a sly smile: "Dad, you've never invited Sister Qin to our house for dinner before."
"Because I have something to tell you." Chi Baiyi said with a serious expression.
Chi Nao's expression instantly became less vivid, and even her tone became somewhat perfunctory.
"What's wrong?"
Chi Baiyi: "..."
"I'll tell you when Qin Yuanyao arrives," Chi Baiyi said.
Chi Cheese replied listlessly, "Oh."
Chi Baiyi: "..."
What exactly is his daughter expecting?
At the same time, Qin Yuanyao finished work a little early and was on her way to Yushui Pavilion.
Qin Yuanyao took a taxi directly over.
She was resting with her eyes closed in the car when she suddenly heard the driver mutter, "Why is this car following my car?"
Qin Yuanyao suddenly opened her eyes, becoming alert.
As an artist, she needs to be more perceptive and vigilant in this regard than the average person.
She looked through the glass in the back seat.
It was rush hour, and there were quite a few cars on the road, so she couldn't immediately tell which car was following them.
"Sir, which car are you referring to?"
"The one with the license plate number 6n. I noticed it following our car for a while," the driver said.
Qin Yuanyao quickly found the car with license plate number 6n.
It was an ordinary black sedan.
But as they turned right, the black sedan did not turn right, but went straight.
"Oh? It's gone. I was just being paranoid," the driver said.
Qin Yuanyao looked back for a while to make sure that the car with license plate number 6n was not following, before she turned back around.
Neither she nor the driver noticed that just a few minutes later, the black sedan, like a ghost, followed them again, four or five cars away...
Qin Yuanyao got off the car at Yushuitingyuan.
The security guard recognized her and quickly let her in.
Following her memory, Qin Yuanyao found Chi Baiyi's house. Before she even entered the yard, she saw Chi Naozi come running out of the house, saying as she ran, "Dad, I'll go to the gate of the community to meet you..."
When Chi Nao saw Qin Yuanyao standing at the gate, she ran over happily and hugged Qin Yuanyao's leg: "Sister Qin, you're here!"
Qin Yuanyao was also very happy to see Chi Nao, her eyes crinkling with joy: "Yes! Nao looks so pretty today!"
Chi Nai showed off her purple princess dress to Qin Yuanyao, and even twirled around, making the skirt flutter.
