Chapter 42 Don't Target Her

As soon as I got home, a memo notification popped up on my phone.

Today is Meng Zicheng's birthday.

Our birthdays are less than a month apart, so I remember them very clearly and celebrate his birthday every year.

I truly treat him as my own younger brother, even though he is only a little bit younger than me.

Shen Yixiao and I parted on bad terms, and I will definitely go find Meng Zicheng.

Sure enough, I saw Meng Zicheng’s circle of friends, and it had his location, but he deleted it quickly and posted another one, this time without the location.

A few minutes later, he called me and said, "Sister-in-law, you remembered it's my birthday today, didn't you? Come over and have dinner with me!"

"Happy birthday. I won't go today. I'll send you a red envelope later." I refused directly.

He should have known that Shen Yixiao and I had a fight, so he didn't say much and hung up the phone after a few words.

As soon as I hung up the phone, I drove to the location that Meng Zicheng had just sent.

After arriving at the hotel, I didn't know which private room they were in. Fortunately, Meng Zicheng was always high-profile, so I just asked a waiter.

Just as I was rushing to the box, Xu Zhengnan appeared in front of me. He was holding Li Qingming's hand. I don't know what the two were talking about, but they both had smiles on their faces.

As they were chatting, Xu Zhengnan picked up Li Qingming and walked towards this side.

I subconsciously dodged, afraid of being seen by them.

"Zhengnan, thank you so much for today." Then, my mother also appeared. After she caught up with Xu Zhengnan, she said gratefully, "Your uncle Li and I have been abroad for many years, and our friends in China have become more distant. Fortunately, you helped, otherwise we would not be able to enter that kindergarten."

Xu Zhengnan said politely, "Auntie, this is just a small favor. Don't worry about it. Just submit the information."

Li Qingming, this clever fellow, loudly praised Xu Zhengnan as a handsome guy. Various words kept popping up in a continuous stream, and I was very surprised to hear them.

Speaking of which, I still don’t know what job Xu Zhengnan did after returning to China.

But he must be no worse than me and Shen Yixiao, because he is good enough.

I heard their voices getting closer, so I quickly went in through the emergency passage nearby and hid.

It was not until I felt they were far away that I walked out like a thief, feeling a little sad and a little relieved. My parents were living well without me.

Then when I go abroad in the future, I won’t have to worry too much about them.

After finding the box where Shen Yixiao and the others were, I pushed the door open and walked in. The box was very lively with bursts of conversation and laughter until someone saw me, "Isn't that my sister-in-law?"

The box became quiet instantly. Shen Yixiao sat opposite the door, and Lu Xiaoyun sat next to him. The smiles on their faces disappeared immediately when they saw me.

Shen Yixiao had an argument with me before he left, so he must have been very depressed.

But from his smile just now, I could tell he was really happy.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!" Meng Zicheng stuttered with fear. He, who had previously said that he wanted to pursue Lu Xiaoyun, was now sitting in the seat farthest away from Lu Xiaoyun.

Shen Yixiao frowned, but didn't stand up or ask me why I was here, probably because he was afraid that being too enthusiastic would make him look suspicious.

Lu Xiaoyun looked at me, then at Shen Yixiao, with some surprise in her eyes.

It's rare for Shen Yixiao to be so indifferent to me.

"Zicheng, happy birthday. I thought it would be a good idea for me to come and celebrate your birthday with you." I took out a birthday present I bought on the street and handed it to Meng Zicheng. It was a large box of condoms.

He was very embarrassed when he saw it, and I smiled and said, "You are too charming. It is not safe to change girlfriends all the time. I am protecting your health."

Everyone else heard the sarcasm in my words and looked at each other. Meng Zicheng's expression also turned unhappy.

I was not wrong, he was diagnosed with AIDS in his previous life, and that was no joke.

"Sister-in-law, please sit down." Meng Zicheng forced a smile and invited me to sit down.

Then he winked at Lu Xiaoyun and said, "Secretary Lu, please come and sit over here."

Lu Xiaoyun was stunned, then stood up reluctantly. At this moment, Shen Yixiao actually grabbed her hand and said coldly, "Secretary Lu, why do you want to change seats? There is no law that requires couples to sit together."

When these words were spoken, everyone else was a little shocked.

It was the first time that Shen Yixiao embarrassed me in front of so many people.

Lu Xiaoyun's eyes flashed with joy, but she still pretended to be sensible, "Boss Shen, let Madam sit here. This seat was originally reserved for her. I came too late and there was no seat, and I thought she was not coming, so I sat here."

"Yes, yes, that seat was originally reserved for my sister-in-law. Brother Xiao, I know you had a fight with my sister-in-law and you're in a bad mood, but this is my birthday, I—"

Meng Zicheng was trying to make up for it, but I interrupted him and said, "It's okay, ask the waiter to add another chair."

Meng Zicheng sighed helplessly, then went out and asked the waiter to bring in another chair.

I sat down opposite Shen Yixiao and Lu Xiaoyun. With me there, the atmosphere was obviously much more restrained. It was obviously not like this before. We all knew each other and we ate, drank and boasted together, and it was always relaxed and cheerful.

It might be because they already knew that Shen Yixiao and Lu Xiaoyun had an unusual relationship, and they were afraid that if I found out, it would cause trouble.

"Secretary Lu, it seems like you haven't finished your confinement yet. Can you drink?" I looked at the wine glass in front of Lu Xiaoyun and asked with concern.

Lu Xiaoyun shook her head, “Madam, this is boiled water. President Shen also reminded me just now that it is better not to drink alcohol.”

Shen Yixiao frowned and looked at me unconsciously with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.

I smiled and said, "Your CEO Shen is very considerate of his employees and is very caring. Why didn't you bring your boyfriend here? Let him learn from CEO Shen. Last time in the ward, we all scolded him badly."

I sent all those insults to Shen Yixiao, and I don’t know how he felt when he heard them.

Lu Xiaoyun's expression was subtle, and she glanced at Shen Yixiao unconsciously. I saw this scene.

"He... is too busy and has little time to accompany me." Lu Xiaoyun answered in a low voice.

"I'm too busy to accompany you, but I have time to help you have a miscarriage. Secretary Lu, you should get rid of this kind of man as soon as possible. He is simply a fighter among garbage." I gave a blunt suggestion.

Shen Yixiao’s face turned dark, and his whole body was a little depressed.

Lu Xiaoyun lowered her head in embarrassment, looking aggrieved and helpless, and did not reply to me.

Everyone could see that I was targeting her. Liang Feng stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, don't talk about Secretary Lu. Let her solve her emotional problems herself."
