"Zhizhi, before I saw you and recognized you, I thought [Chaoyang District Well-Known People] was just a small account of my cultivation system." When Shen Zhiming tilted his head to look over, the man's expression was surprisingly gentle. "My work pressure is high, and sometimes I give some resources to some small accounts that I think are not bad. You are one of them."

"When you started working on plus-size women's clothing, I wasn't disappointed. I was regretful. I was sorry that my path to nurturing you would be cut short because of you. This doesn't mean I'm giving up on you, but based on my years of experience in the workplace, I've learned that most women who are overly happy lose their ambition for their careers and tend to focus more on their families."

"Of course, if you keep using that account, I will continue to follow you. The resources of the 'self' brand are given to you by me."

"Self" is a brand that only sells plus-size women's clothing. It is not very famous and is even a bit niche, but the clothes it produces have a very good cut, correct body shape, and make you look slimmer.

“That brand…” Shen Zhiming always thought that the person in charge of this brand saw her video online and found her.

At that time, she gained weight evenly, from her face to her chest and abdomen to her legs, with no particularly prominent features. Ziyi even said that she was still a beauty even though she gained weight, except that her eyes became a little smaller.

"I was the one who contacted her." Fang Jinyao didn't want to say this, but Shen Zhiming's attitude was too firm. Seeing that she had no chance at all and was afraid that she would be blocked once this trip was over, she had no choice but to throw out more bait that Shen Zhiming could not refuse. "If I knew it was you at that time, I would like you."

Fang Jinyao's tone was too calm, and it seemed to carry a convincing force. Shen Zhiming felt a little hot in her ears for some reason. She retracted her gaze, turned her back to look out the window, and forced herself to wake up from this abnormal state.

"It's too late, Fang Jinyao," Shen Zhiming said with a bitter smile, "If Yiyi hadn't been in trouble, even if I had suffered misfortune and fallen on hard times because of Cheng Xian, I would have hesitated, but... it's too late."

"I can't enjoy this happiness that only I have left. Even though I know rationally that Yiyi would want me to be happy, I can't do it. The happier I am, the more I think about how my best and most important friend died. I'd rather not have the joy of not having a close friend to share it with."

The issue of life and death is indeed not something Fang Jinyao can solve. No matter how powerful she is, she is not a god who can bring the dead back to life.

"It's okay." Fang Jinyao said gently, "Don't feel guilty, it's not your fault."

"Didn't I ask you before what kind of person Shu Baizhu is?" Shen Zhiming's muffled voice came from the side. "In the past, I thought she had no feelings for Yiyi at all. She simply used her and treated her like an ATM. On the one hand, she said she didn't want Ziyi's money, but on the other hand, I don't know how much she took. I would rather she had no feelings for Yiyi at all."

"But when I realized that just mentioning Yiyi's name could easily hurt her, I realized it wasn't that she didn't have feelings, she just didn't dare admit them. How ironic, isn't it? Yiyi has given so much, and she has accepted so much, yet she can't even muster up a little courage. How hypocritical and hateful."

Having given so much, yet never receiving even a word of affirmation until his death, Shen Zhiming felt wronged and resentful for his best friend.

Fang Jinyao heard this and thought for a moment before asking, "Do you want revenge? I can help you."

"How can you help me?" Shen Zhiming shook his head. "From the moment she agreed to marry Uncle Zhao into the Zhao family, she's been tied to the Zhao family. I can't commit murder or arson, and I won't ask you to do it for me. As for ruining her reputation and bringing her down from her flawless position, it will ultimately harm the interests of the Zhao family. The revenge I want is nothing more than making her live with the guilt for the rest of her life."

This was the most torturous form of revenge Shen Zhiming could think of, so she chose to enter the Zhao family. While watching over the Zhao family for Ziyi, she could also torture Shu Baizhu at all times.

To the outside world, she will still do her best to help Shu Baizhu handle all matters.

He said he was helping Shu Baizhu, but in fact he was doing it for his best friend.

"Besides..." Shen Zhiming smiled, "If Yiyi knew about this, she wouldn't want Shu Baizhu and I to end up in such a mess. I have my own measure and standards for revenge, so I won't bother you anymore."

"Then can we still remain friends?" Fang Jinyao finally chose to take a step back. "I mean, friends who haven't been blocked and can meet and chat."

"Just do it normally. Actually, I'm also a homebody and don't like socializing with friends." Fang Jinyao was relieved, and Shen Zhiming also breathed a sigh of relief. "You make an appointment, and I won't deliberately avoid you. This is the answer I can give you."

Fang Jinyao reluctantly agreed: "Okay."

It seems that she still has to continue chatting online under the pseudonym [Lu Yao].

Twenty-six hours later, on the morning of the third day, the car finally stopped in the open-air parking lot in front of the house.

Fang Jinyao's car was not a very eye-catching or cool color, and most of the people living nearby were elderly men and women, so when they stopped, it was quiet and did not attract anyone's attention.

"My family is not a very wealthy one," Shen Zhiming did not get out of the car, but just looked at the old gate of the community not far away, a little absent-minded.

"My parents are just ordinary doctors. They are very busy and have no time to take care of me. Because I am a girl, my grandparents don't like me very much, so they have been living with my uncle to take care of my cousin. At first, my parents also thought about hiring a nanny, but maybe it was bad luck or maybe it was a lack of budget, the nanny they hired was always unsatisfactory. After changing many nannies, they finally managed to get me into kindergarten."

She later heard these things from her parents. "My parents said they were always arguing during that time because they couldn't find a suitable nanny. They were also worried about me at work, but we were both about the same age, at the peak of our careers, in our golden years. Neither of us wanted to give up our careers to take care of me. They were tired of arguing so much that they made an appointment to get a divorce certificate. In the end, I found someone who would take care of me."

Even at this age, Shen Zhiming still can't forget the scene that day.

She compared herself to me, her eyes narrowing. "Yiyi was only this old then, but she could speak fluently. She brought her aunt home with me and waited until very late, until my parents got home from get off work at the hospital. She said, 'Uncle and aunt, Zhizhi is under my care from now on. I have my aunt, so I can take care of both of us.' My parents were stunned by what she said."

Who would have thought that the tiny Ziyi would pull the tiny girl, protecting her behind him, and tell her parents, "Uncle and aunt, you have to work to earn money to support the family. I don't have a job, but I have money, and I will support Zhizhi."
