After buying what she wanted at the mall, Sheng Xia carried several of her newly purchased bags and followed Wen Yixing to the underground parking lot.

"It's getting late, let's go get hot pot?" Sheng Xia said. "A new hot pot restaurant just opened nearby, I heard it's pretty good, want to try it?"

Wen Yixing was also a little hungry, so she nodded: "Okay, let's go try it. Shen Jingshao is currently on a business trip to Nanshi. I'll call Yaoyao and ask him if he's eaten."

Shengxia: "Okay, if he hasn't eaten, I'll drive back to pick him up."

The two chatted as they walked to the luxury car that Sheng Xia had recently bought.

Sheng Xia lowered her head and pressed the car key. The trunk slowly opened. Sheng Xia put the things in her hands into the trunk and then reached out to take the bag from Wen Yixing's hand.

Wen Yixing has successfully made a call to Wen Jingyao.

After a brief chat, Wen Yixing hung up the phone.

Shengxia looked up and asked, "So, are you coming or not?"

Wen Yixing: "No, he's out having fun with his friends. He's having dinner at a friend's house tonight."

Sheng Xia smiled and put her arm around Wen Yixing's shoulder: "Alright then, today will be just the two of us sisters!"

As Sheng Xia and Wen Yixing walked to the passenger seat, Sheng Xia looked up and unexpectedly noticed someone.

She gently patted Wen Yixing's arm.

After Wen Yixing looked over, she gestured in a certain direction with her eyes and said in a low voice, "Look at that person over there, doesn't she look like Jiang Ruyue?"

Perhaps because there were fewer people in the underground parking lot, Jiang Ruyue was not wearing a mask when she got out of the car, but was wearing a baseball cap, which made her quite easy to recognize.

Wen Yixing nodded: "It should be her."

As they were talking, Wen Yixing saw Jiang Ruyue's assistant helping Jiang Ruyue push a young man wearing a mask out of the car.

The man was sitting in a wheelchair, and he appeared to be very thin.

His relationship with Jiang Ruyue seems very close.

Jiang Ruyue bent down to talk to him and smiled at him.

This scene was completely different from the Jiang Ruyue I remembered.

In Wen Yixing's memory, Jiang Ruyue was always flamboyant and aloof.

She wouldn't even speak to Fang Shiyan like that when they were together.

Jiang Ruyue pushed the wheelchair away, and Wen Yixing withdrew her gaze.

Sheng Xia was still a little curious and couldn't help but take a few more glances. "Who's the person next to her? Is it her younger brother?"

Wen Yixing: "Jiang Ruyue seems to be from a single-parent family and doesn't have a younger brother."

"Oh, right." Sheng Xia thought for a moment and said, "I heard that she's been in several movies recently, so she seems to be short of money."

In the height of summer, being in the country, one can at least get some news.

She didn't have much affection for Jiang Ruyue and didn't want to discuss it further, so she said, "Let's go, get in the car, I'll take you to eat something delicious!"

---

Since Shen Jingshao wasn't home, Wen Yixing brought Wen Jingyao over, and they stayed at Shengxia's house for a few nights.

Shengxia recently moved to a new house, a villa that's quite close to her company.

Most importantly, this villa is close to Shengxia's boyfriend's school.

Wen Yixing met Sheng Xia's boyfriend a few days ago. She originally thought he would be a clever male anchor, but he turned out to be a clean-looking and pure-looking male college student.

The more a guy is like this, the more scheming he might be. Wen Yixing thought about it again and again and was still a little worried. After the male college student left, Wen Yixing told Sheng Xia to be careful and not to be deceived.

Sheng Xia smiled and said to her, "I know, I know. Although being in love can be intoxicating, I'm still sober. You know I never want to get married in this lifetime."

I actually had some fear of marriage even before the height of summer.

Her parents, however, felt she was getting on in years and kept pressuring her to get married.

During the summer, she went on several blind dates and met a few strange men, which made her even less willing to get married.

Later, she started her own business, and as the company became profitable, her income gradually increased.

It even reached a level that her parents never dared to imagine before.

Having honed her skills in the workplace for many years, Sheng Xia has also gained increasing influence at home.

In the past, her father almost always listened to her when it came to family matters, but now her parents always ask for her opinion before making any decisions.

In the height of summer, I bought my parents a new luxury villa and regularly send them child support every month.

With more money given, Shengxia's parents stopped interfering in her affairs.

Knowing that Shengxia didn't want to get married, they never brought up the topic of marriage and having children whenever she came home, letting her decide for herself.

Sometimes, in the height of summer, I feel that this is quite enjoyable.

A movie was playing in the living room, and the three of them were sitting on the sofa watching it.

Seeing that Wen Yixing liked the mangoes she had bought, Shengxia took two more out of the refrigerator and cut them for them to eat.

"Anyway, my parents aren't pressuring me to get married anymore. I even brought Xiao Song to my house a few days ago."

Sheng Xia laughed, "My parents thought Xiao Song was unreliable as soon as they saw him, mainly because he's too young. He's only twenty-one this year."

Wen Yixing looked at Sheng Xia: "You are also very young, not much older than me."

Sheng Xia is thirty-four years old this year. She has taken good care of herself over the years and looks like she is only twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

Shengxia thought for a moment and agreed, "That's true."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Sheng Xia checked the time and asked, "Is Shen Jingshao coming back tonight? Let me take you to the airport."

"It's too late, I'll have the family driver come pick us up." Wen Yixing smiled at Sheng Xia. "Go to bed early tonight, your vacation is over, remember to go to work tomorrow."
