Chianan Mansion is located in an area where land is extremely valuable.
This area in the city center is relatively quiet and elegant. The streets on both sides of the courtyard are lined with plane trees, and every autumn you can see large patches of yellowing leaves.
Autumn is in full swing, and so is spring.
On the day Jiang Yue moved, she bought a lot of flower seeds and planted many flowers in the small garden in the yard. Fortunately, there was a gardener at home who took care of these things, so she didn't need to worry about whether the flowers could survive.
The bedroom on the second floor was decorated in a way that she really liked.
The room is bright and airy; drawing back the curtains lets in plenty of sunlight, and the warm light isn't too harsh on the face.
There are also rocking chairs on the balcony for people to rest.
She could snuggle up inside and sleep for an entire afternoon.
Jiang Yue spent a few days living a carefree, laid-back life. There was no one she needed to contact, and she didn't have any close friends here, so she simply turned off her phone for a few days.
In my spare time, I would take some books from the bookshelf to read.
She had practically worn out all the historical documents about the Jiang Kingdom in the world; apart from some unverified anecdotes, there was nothing else.
Three days later, after resting enough, Jiang Yue opened her phone again. Her WeChat message bar was overflowing with unread messages.
Thanks to Ding Ru, the news that she and Zhou Ji had officially separated had spread throughout the entire circle.
The upper-class circle is not very large to begin with, and at a banquet with clinking glasses, a remark may be mentioned inadvertently during a moment of toasting.
It gradually spread.
[Rumors are flying everywhere, is this really a divorce?]
【Oh my god, did you and Zhou Ji have a fight?】
[Are you okay? Yueyue, oh my god, what happened? Are you really separated? Are you kidding me?]
Even people who aren't usually close to her often shamelessly come to her to inquire about information.
People inside the TV station may have also vaguely heard rumors and cautiously came to test the waters. That's just how realistic this society is.
Without the aura of being a wealthy young mistress, or rather, without the status of a CEO's wife, they certainly wouldn't be as respectful to Jiang Yue as before.
He wouldn't tolerate her unreasonable demands like a bully who preys on the weak.
Jiang Yue never expected that her divorce from Zhou Ji would cause such a stir among outsiders, as if it were some big news.
She began to seriously consider whether she should post a formal divorce announcement on her social media.
While Jiang Yue was lost in thought, Zhou Ji's younger brother and sister suddenly popped up in their family group chat. Zhou Yu'an had already changed his opinion of his sister-in-law, and upon suddenly hearing about the divorce, he felt awkward and uncomfortable.
At some point, Zhou Yu'an had changed his nickname in the group to "The Most Handsome Little Zhou".
Most Handsome Xiao Zhou: [Sister-in-law, sob sob, are you and my brother really getting a divorce?]
He hadn't realized he'd sent the message to the wrong group again, a group that also included elders.
Jiang Yue felt there was no need to deliberately hide this matter, nor was there any need to make it public. After a moment's thought, she used the most official excuse: "No, no, the relationship has broken down."
Zhou Yu'an felt a pang of grief. How could they suddenly get divorced? How could his cousin be so cruel? Jiang Yue was the mother of his child! To abandon her like that was incredibly irresponsible.
Zhou Yu'an has clearly forgotten his past dislike for Jiang Yue, and has even imagined a scene of her being forced to sign a harsh divorce agreement.
Jiang Yue loved her heartless and cold-hearted brother so much.
She loved him openly and passionately, oblivious to the stares of others.
During the Spring Festival, Zhou Yu'an witnessed his brother, whose heart was as hard as stone, gazing tenderly at his sister-in-law.
In hidden corners, in details unseen by anyone.
He even kissed her while smiling like that!
Sure enough, no man is any good; they can change their minds in an instant and turn their backs on you just like that.
Most handsome Xiao Zhou: [Sister-in-law, you will always be my sister-in-law.]
Zhou Yu'an's sister also timidly raised her hand in the group chat: 【I second that.】
Jiang Yue no longer found the two of them as annoying as before. They used to seem stupid and foolish when they talked badly about her; they were probably just naturally dim-witted.
Zhou Yu'an tirelessly posted in the group chat: 【All those other flashy, cheap girls don't even catch my eye! No one can replace you in our hearts!】
Little Dog Leg Sister: [That's right, that's right!]
Zhou Yu'an, perhaps thinking Zhou Ji wouldn't read the group messages, or perhaps having completely forgotten Zhou Ji was in the group, continued indignantly: "My brother is just like that, born cold-hearted, ruthless, and with a heart of stone. He really doesn't know how to care for others."
Sister: [Yes, yes, yes!]
Jiang Yue looked at the two people's comments in the group as if she suddenly realized that it was probably not that they were stupid, but that they just liked to talk badly about others in front of them.
For example, right now.
Before she could even finish typing her message in the chat box, she saw the brother and sister being kicked out of the group chat.
Zhou Ji: [Ignore them.]
Vicious Little Ginger: [Aww.]
During these three days, Zhou Ji did not contact her proactively.
Jiang Yue's feelings for Zhou Ji improved even more; she admired his decisive and straightforward personality.
What she fears most is someone who clings on relentlessly; Zhou Ji is truly a qualified ex-husband!
Zhou Ji asked: "Are you getting used to living there?"
Jiang Yue said: "It's very quiet, I like it very much."
Zhou Ji lowered his eyelashes, a faint smile appearing on his face as he looked at the words. His words were concise: "If you like it, that's good."
Catching a butterfly.
It requires a very, very long time of patience.
Being too forceful will only hurt the other party.
Only by weaving a net little by little, until there is nowhere to escape, can the butterfly land on this land.
Jiang Yue did not reply to him again.
She then dealt with work-related messages; her roommate's show had one last recording session, which lasted seven days, including two live broadcasts.
The show's ratings have been steadily climbing since its first episode, and the last episode's ratings were the highest in recent times, completely dominating other TV stations' flagship programs.
With the boy band booming during the Lunar New Year, Ning Yao's supporting role in a fantasy drama also broke through the competition, and both of them saw a surge in popularity.
The production team, which started with a terrible hand, inexplicably became popular celebrities.
Even Jiang Yue's fans and popularity have been steadily increasing.
Those who were initially gloating are now the ones who feel heartbroken and want to die whenever they see these people or related terms on trending topics.
One's own failure is certainly painful, but the success of one's opponent is even more unbearable.
Jiang Yue silently noted down the recording location, put down her phone, and stretched lazily by the window.
Suddenly, a maid came upstairs and knocked on the door. "Miss Jiang, a guest is here to see you."
Jiang Yue asked in confusion, "Who is it?"
The maid replied respectfully, "It's someone from the Qin family. Mr. Qin said he's your friend."
The security guards at the entrance had already let Qin Zhao's car in; it had a yellow license plate with black lettering, and they didn't want to keep anyone waiting.
