Shen Zekai's eyes became even colder: "Four million."

Wen Jingyi didn't give in either.

The original price of a brooch was only tens of thousands, but the two people bid up the price to six million.

Wen Jingyi fell silent.

If she could scrape together a little more, she would be able to have six million. It had nothing to do with the Shen family or Shen Zekai. It was what she had earned on her own from her design career over the years.

But she wanted to use this money to live away from the Shen family.

Shen Zekai was also certain that she couldn't come up with anything more, so he pointed at the black card and said indifferently: "Sister-in-law, stop making trouble. I will find you a similar one as an apology later. This brooch, give it to Qiuqiu."

Wen Jingyi looked at him and felt so strange for the first time after three years of marriage.

After a long silence, she suddenly took off the wedding ring on her hand and handed it to the appraiser next to her.

"Please help me sell this ring as well."

Shen Zekai's eyes widened in disbelief: "What are you going to do?! This is your wedding ring for me... and my brother!"

Is Wen Jingyi crazy? How could she sell this ring?

She used to treat this ring like a treasure! She was reluctant to take it off even when sleeping!

"Yes, but your brother has passed away. What to do with the wedding ring is my business."

Wen Jingyi spoke indifferently, then turned to look at the shopping guide: "How much is this wedding ring worth?"

The treasure appraiser took a closer look and said, "About 20 million."

"Then my bid is twenty-five million."

Wen Jingyi looked at Shen Zekai: “Second Master Shen, do you still want to bid?”

Bai Mengqiu frowned on the side, feeling that Wen Jingyi was extremely abnormal today, even taking out her wedding ring to spite her.

But it’s better this way. If the Shen family knew about this, Wen Jingyi would definitely be kicked out of the house!

But on the surface, she pretended to be innocent: "Sister, please stop fighting with Ze Rui and take the wedding ring back. If my brother in heaven saw you like this, how sad would he be?"

Shen Zekai's face was now so ugly that it looked like water could be squeezed out of it, and his fists were clenched so tightly that veins bulged out.

"Wen Jingyi, take the wedding ring back immediately."

His voice was as cold as ice: "I will give you the brooch after Mengqiu and I's engagement ceremony is over, but you are not qualified to sell the wedding ring!"

Wen Jingyi didn't want to keep the wedding ring at all, and she didn't want to watch his and Bai Mengqiu's engagement ceremony.

But that was the only thought her adoptive parents left her, and she couldn't bear to see her fall into Shen Zekai's hands.

"Then please keep your word, Second Young Master."

She handed the wedding ring directly to Shen Zekai: "Give it to the Second Young Master first. There is no need for me to carry it with me. I wish you and Bai Mengqiu a happy wedding and a long-lasting love."

Since he loves acting and they are husband and wife after all, why not let her act with him?

Looking at the wedding ring in his hand, the coldness in Shen Zekai's eyes became heavier.

Why is this happening...

After being married for so many years, he knew very well how much this wedding ring meant to her.

She never took off her ring before. Once, when she was traveling alone, a gangster stole her ring. She chased after him desperately to get it back, and ended up spraining her leg and being lectured by him.

At that time, she was lying on the hospital bed with a smile on her face, and she acted coquettishly towards her: "Akai, don't be angry. This wedding ring is a testimony of our love. How can I watch someone else snatch it away?"

"Besides, I'm fine, right? Don't worry~"

On the morning of the day he "died", Wen Jingyi hooked her arm around his neck and asked him when he would be home, and they had agreed to celebrate their wedding anniversary together. At that time, she seemed to love him so much, but in just a few days, she changed her mind?

She can even throw away this wedding ring at will!

He gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you afraid that my brother will be heartbroken in his grave?"

Wen Jingyi just thought it was ridiculous.

It was clearly him who betrayed the marriage, so how could he have the nerve to act like he was being betrayed?

"Death is like the extinguishing of a light. It's impossible that your brother is dead and I have to be a widow for the rest of his life."

She glanced at him indifferently: "If you have nothing else to do, Second Young Master, I won't disturb you and your fiancée from shopping. Goodbye."

"Wen Jingyi, you..."

Shen Zekai's eyes became even colder, and he opened his mouth to say something else, but Wen Jingyi didn't give him the chance at all, and turned around and walked out of the auction house.

Looking at that unattached back, Shen Zekai felt a tightness in his chest, and his eyes unconsciously turned red.

Why... She obviously loved him so much, so why wouldn't she be sad at all when he died?

Was all the grief at the funeral fake?

"Zeri, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Mengqiu beside him had a glint in her eyes and asked worriedly, "Are you worried about your sister? Or..."

"No."

Shen Zekai came back to his senses and quickly returned to his nonchalant look: "I just feel it's not worth it for my brother. Let's go and ignore her."

Bai Mengqiu agreed obediently, but she could clearly feel that "Chen Zerui" was absent-minded.

A cold light flashed in her eyes. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Why was Shen Zerui so emotionally affected by Wen Jingyi after he came back?

…

On the other side, Wen Jingyi went to the Red Cross to donate the money. When she was driving home, she received a call from her mother.

After a moment of silence, she picked up the phone: "Mom, is there something wrong?"

On the other end of the phone, my mother said in a cold tone, "Come back right away."

Wen Jingyi actually didn't feel like seeing her right now, but thinking that she was about to leave, there was nothing wrong with seeing her as a farewell.

After saying yes, she hung up the phone and drove back, she saw Bai Mengqiu sitting on the sofa, flipping through an album, smiling with eyes full of longing.
