Chapter 132: Lost a husband, gained an ex-husband, and gained a lover

Ji Tanyuan was shocked. "You're making me feel like the divorce was pointless."

Zhong Yan, holding the dog, turned around and looked at Ji Tanyuan, who was standing motionless at the door. "No, I lost a husband but gained an ex-husband and a lover, and I also lost my in-laws."

He thought for a moment, "Oh, and they even made a fortune."

"Ji Tanyuan, you've got everything the world has to offer, how could you have gotten away with this for nothing?"

Ji Tanyuan was amazed by Zhong Yan's shamelessness.

"Zhong Yan!"

Zhong Yan slowly walked in, his voice languid: "I heard you. Our divorce is just about dividing our assets. How can our feelings be separated?"

Ji Tanyuan laughed in exasperation, "Ha, is that so?"

"I have a party tonight."

Zhong Yan turned around and asked, "What is it? It's not a divorce party, is it?"

Ji Tanyuan nodded, "I guess so, but actually it's not really, it was just a gathering of friends."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yan turned around and walked inside. The young master acted as if he were back in his own home, expertly pouring himself some water. "Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back."

Ji Tanyuan: "You're waiting for me? What are you waiting for me for?"

Zhong Yan lowered his brows and chuckled softly: "Go to sleep."

"We're divorced, ex-husband."

Zhong Yan took a sip of water, then put down the glass, leaned forward, and kissed her lips. "You promised, we can't break it."

He raised his hand and pinched her chin, his statement delivered with crystal clarity to Ji Tanyuan's ears:

"I agreed to the divorce, but I don't want to see those people from the Zhong family standing between us again."

Ji Tanyuan was stunned. No wonder, last time when Grandpa Zhong sent someone to say he wanted to see her, Zhong Yan immediately said that he was going to get a divorce, even though he didn't want to get a divorce just a few minutes ago.

Ji Tanyuan then asked, "So what happened next? How did you convince your father?"

Zhong Yan raised an eyebrow: "No need to persuade me. I want to get a divorce and nobody can stop me. It's just a divorce. Will my dad sever ties with me over this?"

Ji Tanyuan nodded, seemingly believing his explanation. She didn't ask any further questions, but simply turned around and said, "I'm going to pack up. I'm going out. You can stay here if you want."

Zhong Yan frowned: "You're really going out?"

Ji Tanyuan turned around and gave him a casual glance. "Why would I need to lie to you? I really did make an appointment with Zhang Zhang and the others."

"Oh, by the way, the maid is on holiday, so you can feed Puppy dog ​​food."

"If I have time, I'll take him downstairs for a walk. I didn't walk him today; he must be bored."

And so, Zhong Yanzhen was left in Ji Tanyuan's house.

Ji Tanyuan went to her friend's dinner party, saying that it was all girls and he shouldn't go. He looked down at Puppy, the two of them staring at each other.

The puppy was excited and tugged at his leg. He patted the puppy's head lightly, "You're 5 years old and still so unsteady, you braying donkey."

He fed the dog some food and planned to take it downstairs for a walk.

Just as he was about to close the door, his hand still gripping the handle, he felt something was off. If he remembered correctly, Zhang Zhang was the editor-in-chief of that top entertainment magazine, the one who dated young heartthrobs and surrounded by a ton of good-for-nothing playboys.

Oh, right, how could I forget that? Ji Tanyuan was the same kind of person before her marriage. She was a socialite who attended parties and dances both abroad and in China.

Who knows, maybe that guy surnamed Zhang will introduce handsome men to Ji Tanyuan, especially since she owns a film and television company. Wouldn't those people be like wolves seeing meat when they see Ji Tanyuan?

Even without a company, Ji Tanyuan, this wealthy woman, has a beautiful appearance and is conspicuous wherever she goes.

He clicked his tongue, then looked down and called Ji Tanyuan. She didn't answer, so he called a second time, and she hung up immediately. She must have blocked him. Zhong Yan's face darkened.

————————

Ji Tanyuan hung up the phone and started playing mahjong. "I'm not divorced yet, Ms. Zhang."

Zhang Zhang touched his nose. "I thought you were divorced."

Ji Tanyuan smiled, her eyes narrowing: "Soon."

Anyway, the contract has been drafted, all that's left is for him to sign it, get the divorce certificate, make it public, and then do some public relations to stabilize the company.

Everything is going according to plan, but the current plan is stalled because the eldest son of the Zhong family is being willful and wants to celebrate the wedding anniversary, which is why he is delaying signing the papers.

"But to be honest, Miss Zhang, the quality of these things you chose... isn't very good," Ji Tanyuan said.

Across from Ji Tanyuan, the eldest daughter of the Ruan family, Ruan Jiangli, exclaimed, "Huanghuang, have you become so picky?"

Zhang Zhang picked up a mahjong tile and threw it out with a thud, somewhat disapprovingly: "Not good? 188, fair-skinned, young, clean, not greasy, this is already top-notch."

Ruan Jiangli: "She just doesn't like this kind."

Zhang Zhang waved his hand and said, "That's easy. Tell me what kind you like."

Ji Tanyuan pursed her lips: "Never mind, I'm not interested in men right now."

On the other side, Qin Yini, who was looking down at her phone, looked up with a gleam in her eyes: "You're starting to get interested in women?"

Ji Tanyuan was speechless for a moment, then said, "No."

As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang again. Ji Tanyuan looked down and saw it was the police station. She frowned slightly.

"I'm going out to answer a phone call."

Once only the three of them remained in the room, Zhang Zhang sighed, "Miss Ji, you've really fallen for me. In just one year, you've already been taken. Tell me, why don't you learn from me? No matter how many men I have, none of them can move my heart."

Qin Yini scoffed: "That's pure bullshit. I wonder who got cheated on and ended up squatting on the street hugging a bottle and crying while hugging a tree."

Zhang Zhang disagreed: "It's normal to be sad because of a relationship. The important thing is how to handle it. Do you see me going back to someone? Have I ever gone back to an ex?"

“Now Huanghuang is comparing herself to her ex. Is this a subconscious sign that she has let go?”

Ruan Jiangli: "I don't think so. I think she's quite happy about the divorce."

“That means she’s happy to have left her husband’s family. As for her relationship with her husband, I don’t think it will end easily,” Zhang Zhang said.

“If Zhong Yan treats her well, she won’t be heartless. She will repeatedly examine whether the relationship is really safe. So she is definitely still hesitating now, whether to break it off or not.”

Qin Yini teased, "Granny Zhang, you know your young lady very well, don't you?"

Zhang Zhang didn't mind the teasing. After all, her tuition fees for more than ten years abroad were covered by Ji Qing's financial support. Her task was to accompany Ji Tanyuan and prevent her from being lonely while studying abroad. So at that time, only she and Ji Tanyuan's aunt accompanied Ji Tanyuan abroad.

This allowed Zhang Zhang, an orphan, to experience the life of a young lady for so many years, and she became the person who understood Ji Tanyuan the most. She accompanied her through her adolescence and had many thoughts related to a young girl's feelings. It can be said that she understood Ji Tanyuan very well.

Zhang Zhang pursed his lips. "She's so wonderful, she deserves to be loved."

She is now even worried that Ji Tanyuan will have to face all sorts of tricks from men, which will surely dazzle and overwhelm her. Ji Tanyuan has no practical experience and will be easily manipulated by men who take advantage of her understanding and insight to win her heart.

Feelings are different from work.

The former is the most troublesome, sticky and complicated. Even the most decisive person will lose their composure when it comes to relationships.

Ji Tanyuan hung up the phone next door. Her uncle wanted to see her. Why did he want to see her?

Why can't I see Dad?

She rubbed her head, turned around and called to Qin Yini, "Come with me to the police station."

Qin Yini put away her phone. "Did something happen to your uncle?"

“My uncle wants to see me; he must have something to say. They asked me to go and see him.”

If what they're talking about is related to the Shen family, then that's interesting.
