By the time Zhou Yancheng called Jiang Tian out for dinner, his expression no longer showed any abnormality.

While serving food to Jiang Tian, ​​Zhou Yancheng casually remarked, "I need to go on a business trip in a few days."

Jiang Tian looked at him with suspicion in her eyes: "Are you alright?"

“It’s nothing,” Zhou Yancheng slowly revealed his purpose, “There’s a collaboration, and they only agree to discuss it if I personally go there.”

Jiang Tian nodded: "Then go and come back soon."

"good."

With the time to close the net fast approaching, Zhou Yancheng just wanted to cut the Gordian knot quickly.

“You have to call me every day after you get back, like video calls, to prevent you from cheating,” Jiang Tian said with a light cough.

Zhou Yancheng couldn't help but chuckle, but he was very satisfied: "Okay, I'll definitely call you whenever I have time."

Less than a week later, Zhou Yancheng set off.

He specifically instructed Jiang Tian to be vigilant if any strangers appeared here, and then to inform him.

"rest assured."

But little did anyone know, Zhou Yancheng encountered an accident one night just a few days after he left.

When Jiang Tian received Chen Fenglie's call, she thought for a moment that he had dialed the wrong number.

What do you want?

Chen Fenglie's voice was slurred with drunkenness: "Come here and take me home."

"Idiot."

After Jiang Tian finished speaking, she hung up the phone immediately.

But her phone wouldn't stop ringing; less than a minute later, another call came in.

This time it wasn't Chen Fenglie, so Jiang Tian took the call.

The voice on the other end sounded a little cautious: "Sister-in-law, could you come and pick up Brother Chen? He's drunk too much, and we're worried he'll get sick from it."

"We're divorced. I'm not your sister-in-law. If he's drunk, just let him die there. Sorry, I'm busy, I'll hang up now."

After Jiang Tian finished speaking, she hung up immediately without giving the other party a chance to react.

Chen Fenglie was more than just difficult to deal with; only half an hour later, Jiang Tian heard a knock on the door.

The old building had poor sound insulation, and Jiang Tian could hear Chen Fenglie shouting outside clearly.

It's so late, if he keeps making such a racket, he'll definitely disturb the neighbors.

Jiang Tian first called Jiang Qing: "Chen Fenglie is drunk and came to my place. Can you come and pick him up?"

There was a pause on the other end, then a voice came through: "I broke up with Chen Fenglie, don't call me anymore."

Jiang Qing hung up quickly.

Jiang Tian laughed in anger. She had already heard her neighbors complaining loudly that most of the people in the area were elderly and their sleep quality was already poor.

The sound of elderly people coughing could already be heard.

Jiang Tian remembers that one of her neighbors was particularly sensitive to sleep and was also in poor health, so she called an ambulance several times.

Responding to the call takes time. The elderly man had just returned from the hospital and was in poor health. His children were also unfilial, and he was one of the few who showed them kindness...

After thinking it over, Jiang Tian put on a coat, grabbed her keys, and opened the door. Sure enough, she saw Chen Fenglie, who was still drunk, and his underlings supporting him.

"Sister-in-law, you're finally out..."

"Help him back to the car, and I'll go with you to take him home." Jiang Tian's face was as cold as ice.

"Okay, okay." The younger brother obeyed Jiang Tian's every command.

The house Chen Fenglie bought was in the best part of the city; it took a full hour to drive there.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to go up?"

Jiang Tian said expressionlessly, "I'm not going up. You get out of the car first. I have something to say to Chen Fenglie."

After hesitating for a moment, the younger brother got off the bus.

The car was silent for a few seconds. Jiang Tian turned to look at Chen Fenglie in the back seat and spoke again: "Stop pretending. When you're really drunk, you're not like this."

Silence again.

Not long after, Chen Fenglie opened his eyes, his gaze clear and bright.

If you look closely, you'll see that Chen Fenglie's eyes are bloodshot, and he's in very bad shape.

"Why did you call me here? To take care of you while you're drunk?"

Chen Fenglie remained silent.

He's been arguing with Jiang Qing again these days.

Jiang Qing didn't know what kind of spell she had been cast on; that foreigner recommended a project to her that required endless money investment—a bottomless pit.

Upon discovering this, Chen Fenglie immediately advised Jiang Qing to give up.

However, both Jiang Qing and her father were caught up in the pie-in-the-sky promise made by the foreigner, and flocked to it.

Jiang Qing was young and impetuous, and her father was greedy and insatiable. The trap was set to exploit their psychology.

Chen Fenglie saw through the situation and tried his best to persuade him.

After he tried to persuade her, Jiang Qing lost her temper again, and they parted on bad terms once more.

They've been in this state ever since they started dating.

Jiang Qing is younger than him, and he went to great lengths to win her back, so he should give in and be tolerant as much as possible.

After dating for only a few months, they had countless arguments and reconciliations, and Chen Fenglie couldn't help but feel exhausted.

After being dumped again, Chen Fenglie suddenly had the urge to give up.

As he was drinking alone in his sorrow, he suddenly remembered Jiang Tian, ​​whom he had met that day.

She has completely changed.

In their marriage, she left a faint memory for him; in his mind, Jiang Tian was a quiet and rigid person.

She always seemed to have the same smile for him, and knowing he didn't like her, she kept her distance from him at all times.

But once they separated, she became vivid in his memory.

She seemed very happy, and she brought happiness to those around her.

He had met Zhou Yancheng before; that man never smiled.

But when I'm with her, my eyes are always smiling.

Happiness... he wanted to experience that feeling too...
