Chapter 433 Shi Nian is only 25 years old.

"What do you mean?" Lu Xinyi's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately asked.

"It means exactly what it says." The other person smiled and said, "Let's meet. Aren't you worried that I might record you on the phone, Miss Lu?"

Lu Xinyi gritted her teeth and looked up at Shang Yishi's direction, her hatred growing even stronger.

She had nowhere to vent her anger; she wanted to scream and shout, and smash her phone.

But in the end, she realized that the issues here needed to be resolved first.

So, suppressing her emotions, she asked, "The address."

After receiving a new message on her phone, Lu Xinyi glared hatefully in Yi Shi's direction before driving away.

Standing outside the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, Shi Nian watched Lu Xinyi's car drive away.

These days, Lu Xinyi has been relentlessly pursuing her.

No matter how she explained, the other party remained adamant in their decision.

In fact, she could understand Lu Xinyi's resentment.

once……

Shi Nian looked at the clouds drifting in the sky.

When Shi Jia and her father were still alive, she was also willful and capricious.

Simply because she knew that no matter what she did, her father was still there for her.

Although her father often criticized her harshly, she always had confidence and was not afraid when faced with many situations.

But later...

She thought of her father again.

Shi Nian lowered her eyes slightly.

Shi Nian took the keys and told Xiao Yu that she was going out for a while.

Then we went down to the garage and drove to the cemetery.

She bought paper money and burned it for her father, bit by bit.

She didn't say anything, but her eyes welled up with tears.

Throughout her life, the only person who has loved her unconditionally, who has been strict on the surface but infinitely tolerant of her, is perhaps her father.

And... my former mother, but later...

She once thought that meeting Lu Yanzhi was her salvation, but reality dealt her a heavy blow.

Huo Yanmo loves her very much and understands her; the two have always been very compatible.

But she is different from her father.

She may never find someone like that again in her lifetime.

A tear fell into the flames, instantly burned away, raising dust.

Shi Nian wiped her cheeks.

Life is full of disappointments, and perhaps all of this is something she has to endure.

However, it wasn't what she wanted.

After burning the paper money, she looked at her father's black and white photo for a while before going to check on her children.

So, Shi Nian checked the time and decided it was time to go back.

One last look at the wind chimes in front of the child's tombstone; a gentle breeze was blowing, and they swayed softly, making a musical sound.

Shi Nian withdrew her gaze and then walked out.

However, outside the cemetery, she encountered someone.

It was Lu Yanzhi.

Lu Yanzhi sat in his wheelchair, watching her from afar.

Shi Nian lowered her eyes slightly, wanting to walk around and get back to the car.

But his voice came from behind.

"A Nian."

He called them by their former nicknames.

Shi Nian did not stop.

"I want to talk to you about Xinyi," Lu Yanzhi's voice continued.

“I know you don’t want to see me right now, so I haven’t gone to see you or bothered you these days.”

Lu Yanzhi watched Shi Nian's slender back as she walked to the car and reached out to grasp the door handle.

He said, "Escape is not in your nature. Discovering problems and solving problems is what you told me, your code of conduct."

Are you going to disobey?

Shi Nian gripped the doorknob tightly.

She didn't turn around to look at Lu Yanzhi.

Identify problems and solve them.

This is what her father taught her when she was young.

Don't let your emotions control you. Stay calm, rational, and objective. Only then can you discover the essence of the problem and break it down one by one.

Once the problem that triggered the emotion is resolved, the related emotion will naturally resolve itself.

But she didn't want to see Lu Yanzhi.

The sound of the wheelchair drew near and finally stopped beside her.

Shi Nian knew it was him.

Lu Yanzhi looked at Shi Nian's profile.

He knew she would come here.

We were together for so many years.

He knew her habits.

When happy, when sad...

When other children make progress, they show their achievements to their parents and receive a reward.

And she will come here.

She also comes here when she is sad.

Because she was always alone; there was no one behind her.

A gentle breeze was blowing, and Lu Yanzhi looked at Shi Nian's slender neck and the hair that was scattered by the wind.

He still remembered that many years ago, they had a big fight, and she cried until her eyes were red. It was a rainy night, and she ran out of the house.

He followed her out, worried, and finally found her there.

She didn't say anything then, she just knelt in front of the tombstone and cried.

At that moment, he didn't know what to do, so he could only stand a short distance away and stand with her in the rain.

She cried for a long time that day, until the rain stopped.

After he finally regained his composure, he heard her call out in a nasal voice.

"dad……"

He knew she was calling Shi Yichen.

She said, "I miss you so much..."

...

Distant memories surged forth.

Lu Yanzhi looked at Shi Nian in front of him. She was more mature than before, and her temperament was not the same as it used to be.

“I’ve heard about what you’ve been doing lately,” Lu Yanzhi said. “Clean and efficient, even better than before.”

Shi Nian pursed her lips, released her grip on the car door handle, turned around, and looked at Lu Yanzhi.

Waiting for him to tell me about Lu Xinyi.

Lu Yanzhi understood, and said, "Xinyi has been spoiled since she was a child, and she doesn't know her limits in many things. I hope you won't go too far."

Shi Nian's expression was complicated.

She never intended to kill Lu Xinyi.

Regardless of the reason, it would be unwise to directly become mortal enemies with the Lu family in City A.

However, she wouldn't let Lu Xinyi bully her. If the other party offered her face, she wouldn't be surprised if she hit her.

She knew that all of this was a struggle between juniors and wouldn't escalate into a bitter feud.

and……

Shi Nian is not much older than Lu Xinyi.

She was only 25 years old.

Perhaps it's just because he's been through a lot that he looks so weathered.

"You stopped me just to say this?" Shi Nian asked.

Lu Yanzhi nodded.

Actually, he just wanted to find an excuse to talk to her.

Because he missed her so much.

Li Yanqing's matter has been dragging on without any results, and he is losing patience.

She finally came here by herself this time, without Huo Yanmo by her side.

Lu Xinyi was just a topic he brought up. He had warned Lu Xinyi before, but she didn't listen and is now reaping what she sowed.

Shi Nian thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I didn't do anything. If you really care about her, please try to persuade her more."

She sighed deeply and looked at Lu Yanzhi seriously: "She's gone down a dead end. I never thought of becoming her mortal enemy."

She was serious.

Lu Xinyi initially did it because of Lin Xuan, but later it was because she didn't want to lose and was unwilling to accept defeat.

Shi Nian could understand Lu Xinyi's mentality, but she also knew that these superficial things were the most useless.

If you care too much about them, they will not be your glory, but rather a shackle.
