Chapter 189 If divorced people can remain friends, isn't it normal for us to remain boyfriend and girlfriend?

The two went without hesitation, and then each had their assistants clear a week from their schedules.

However, you need to transfer in Hong Kong before you go.

Because the private island that Zhong Yanxian bought has a flight route departing from Hong Kong International Airport, which is slower on the mainland.

It just so happened that the two of them were going to attend Chi Mu's engagement party, which was a perfect coincidence.

He gave instructions to his assistant and then called home.

Zhong Fangqi's exhausted voice came through: "What are you doing?"

Zhong Yanle spoke up.

"Tan Yuan and I are going to Hong Kong to attend the engagement banquet of the Chi family and the Jiang family, and then we will go on a business trip. Please take care of things with the old lady."

Zhong Fangqi didn't say anything more and hung up immediately.

Zhong Yan chuckled twice, clearly gloating.

Even the most important person has an elderly mother, and if that mother is strange, she might be helpless.

In fact, when Zhong Yan was young, he wondered why his grandparents were like that.

But after starting work and meeting all sorts of people, I came to terms with it.

It's impossible for two people to have completely identical thoughts and values. Even if they share the same general direction, they will still differ in the smallest details.

So it's not wrong for his family members to have their own opinions, after all, those four people still think he's abnormal.

It's impossible for someone to deny the beliefs they've held all their life in their later years. If you can't live together, then there's no need to force it.

No one stipulates that blood relatives must live together harmoniously; otherwise, why would anyone need a partner?

When Zhong Yan later used his theory to comfort Ji Tanyuan, it was very effective.

This is so memorable that Ji Tanyuan remembered these words and used them to criticize her father.

The two boarded the plane

Ji Tanyuan asked, "He was still single when we last met, wasn't he?"

Zhong Yan nodded, "Jiang Yan, the fourth young lady of the Jiang family, didn't Chi Mu say he liked her last time? Now he's managed to reserve her."

Ji Tanyuan suddenly thought about their relationship, "Shall we go together? Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

Zhong Yan scoffed, "It's just a divorce, we're not enemies. Why can't we go together? Who dares to gossip?"

Ji Tanyuan glanced at him, "You know perfectly well what I mean."

This could give outsiders the misunderstanding that they are faking a divorce to deceive stock market investors and the market.

Zhong Yan is a bit better; he rarely shows his face.

However, the Ji family is different. As a large, well-known enterprise, its emerging economic industries are attracting more and more attention. Although the character of the leader may not be as prominent as that of a public figure, reputation is still somewhat important as long as it is associated with a listed company.

Zhong Yan patted her on the back, "It's okay, the spread won't be widespread."

The reason why people in social circles are often referred to as "circles" is because the threshold for entry is the weighing of pros and cons by those within the circle, and secrets that shouldn't be told will not be uttered to the outside world.

He thought for a moment and said, "Besides, there's no rule that says you can't be friends after a divorce. People can be friends after divorce, so isn't it normal for us to be boyfriend and girlfriend again?"

Ji Tanyuan remained silent for a moment, without saying a word.

Zhong Yan didn't hear a reply, so he turned to look at her.

With her eyes slightly narrowed, Ji Tanyuan was sitting cross-legged on the sofa of the private jet, looking at her laptop.

He walked over and took the notebook.

"Speak up, what do you mean? You surnamed Ji? You're not going to make me pretend to be a stranger to you, are you?"

Ji Tanyuan looked up innocently, "What? Does my silence mean I'm agreeing?"

Zhong Yan was stunned. Was he tacitly agreeing?

By "default," she meant that she was tacitly acknowledging a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

Ji Tanyuan pursed her lips as he looked at her, "Then you don't want to be my boyfriend..."

Then words were cut off during the kiss.

Ji Tanyuan was touching up her lipstick when she got off the plane.

She looked at herself in the mirror and screamed.

You shouldn't reapply lipstick; you should think about how to cover up the lips that have been kissed red.

Ji Tanyuan turned her head and glared at Zhong Yan with what she thought was a sinister look.

However, the two had just finished a match, and their eyes were fixed on the shimmering water.

Zhong Yan looked at it and said, "It's really pretty."

Ji Tanyuan turned her head to look in the mirror again, touched up her lips with foundation, and said slowly, "I won't let you kiss me anymore."

Zhong Yan: "..."

The two went straight to the hotel where they got engaged after getting off the plane.

The engagement party has been going on for a while now.

The banquet was attended by a large number of people, mostly business owners and executives, including many bosses from the financial securities and investment banking sectors.

They were all familiar with Ji Tanyuan and Zhong Yan, after all, at the recent corporate summit, Ji's company had firmly established itself as a leading enterprise in the new energy and chip manufacturing industries.

In the past three months, Tongji Hi-Tech and Zidian Technology have released a number of patented technologies, and Jinglong Technology in the north has launched its products into the market, which have received a good response.

In the booming technology industry, the Ji family has firmly established itself and turned the tide in just two years.

A young person can accurately grasp the market, delegate authority to professional managers to manage the company, and quickly monetize through marriage.

Judging by this, she might even manage to snag the young master of the Zhong family while she's at it.

Ji Tanyuan of the Ji family is not to be underestimated.

When no one was around, Ji Tanyuan finally dropped her pretentious social facade and grinned, "What kind of looks are they giving me? Shouldn't they be envious that you can still get my favor?"

Zhong Yan smiled with narrowed eyes, only catching the second half of her sentence. He pinched her cheek, then lowered his head and kissed her: "I envy myself for having your favor, okay?"

A cough came from behind me.

"What are you doing?"

The two turned their heads together and saw Chi Mu standing not far away with a pretty and beautiful girl.

This must be the fourth young lady of the Jiang family.

Ji Tanyuan greeted her, "Congratulations."

Chi Mu nodded his thanks.

"I really didn't expect the two of you to come together."

Zhong Yan: "Next time, just remember to send one invitation."

Chi Mu smiled slightly: "That won't do, otherwise there will only be one gift."

Zhong Yan: "..."

As the four were chatting, Jiang Jiawen came over to greet them.

Zhong Yan is considered an honored guest here.

Jiang Jiawen now needs other collaborations with Zhong Heng Group, but Zhong Yan has politely declined.

"I am no longer making decisions for Zhongheng Group for some reason. You can contact Shen Que whenever you have time."

For at least these next few years, he will be in charge of the Kehua Group, and he no longer intends to be involved in the business of the Zhongheng Group.

Seeing this, Ji Tanyuan took Jiang Jiawen's arm and said, "Miss Jiang, I heard you brought your baby with you. I'd like to see him too."

She was all smiles and looked very beautiful.

Jiang Jiawen was stunned. She didn't think that Ji Tanyuan really just wanted to see the baby. Then she looked at Zhong Yan, who was watching Ji Tanyuan with a half-smile.

Jiang Jiawen laughed, "Okay, it's upstairs, I'll take you there."

Then, together with Chi Mu's fiancée, the three women left.

Chi Mu laughed: "Your ex-wife is stealing your business right in front of you."

Zhong Yan looked away and said, "Oh, then we'll have to see what my ex-wife can do."

Chi Mu asked knowingly, "No plans to remarry?"

Zhong Yan took a sip of red wine. "You're asking me? Can I decide that?"

"Didn't you ever think about how your son could bring you status?"

Zhong Yan clicked his tongue, "Are you brain-dead? Your sister-in-law has already had a child while single, and you still think that a child can keep a woman tied down?"

Moreover, Ji Tanyuan is in the prime of her career, so how could he possibly let her get pregnant at this time?

She'll be the one who gets physically exhausted.

Chi Mu understood. "So, you two are now one wielding power in a state-owned enterprise and the other making money in a private company, and the divorce is a way to separate your joint liability?"

Zhong Yan smiled and said, "You're quite good at making connections."

upstairs

Ji Tanyuan looked at the baby in the cradle.

"So cute."

Jiang Jiawen laughed and said, "It's also very tiring. It's better not to have children too young. Even if you have a nanny, you will lose a lot of freedom and have more pressure and worries when you take on the responsibility of being a mother."

Jiang Jiawen said this to both of them at the same time.

One of them is Ji Tanyuan, one of the few high-level women in the business world, who spoke from the perspective of prioritizing her career.

The second one is the useless younger sister. Once she gives birth, she will truly be under Chi Mu's control.

Ji Tanyuan knew what to do without her prompting.

However, besides being too busy with work, another reason she wanted to wait a few years until the Zhong family was too exhausted to continue the trouble before asking for more.

Zhong Yan could only block it once, not 365 times a year. Both of them had jobs and didn't have the energy to deal with the elderly.

She couldn't possibly let her child grow up in the Zhong family.

Anyway, she's still young.
