Chapter 73
Shen Fengni never mentioned the matter of rebirth to anyone.
First, the events were so absurd that even if one told it to a close friend, they might not believe it. There was also the risk of being mistaken for a mental disorder.
Secondly, she felt it was unnecessary. Her life had been smooth sailing since her rebirth. She fought for what she wanted and discarded what she didn't. Her life was already so fulfilling, she wanted nothing more.
But now it seems that her success today has a lot to do with Jiang Zhuoyan.
She has never been alone. Whether in her previous life or now, Jiang Zhuoyan always stands behind her, silently supporting her.
They share the same fate and carry the same secret.
Two people like this should have been a match made in heaven.
Chen Fengni leaned over and kissed the person in her arms, their lips and tongues entangled passionately. The delicate and soft touch was like a flower petal, which made her addicted.
She held Jiang Zhuoyan's face tenderly and called her name softly, "Niannian, I really like you."
The sudden kiss made Jiang Zhuoyan's mind go blank. She closed her eyes slightly, feeling the familiar breath. When she heard Shen Fengni's words, her body stiffened, and then she suddenly pushed the person away.
Jiang Zhuoyan let out a light breath, with marks from the kiss still on her lips.
She pressed her fingertips against Shen Fengni's collarbone and said stubbornly, "Fengni, believe it or not, I want to hear your answer."
I couldn't help myself for a moment and my girlfriend thought I was trying to change the subject.
Shen Fengni didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and immediately straightened her attitude.
She looked into Jiang Zhuoyan's eyes and answered seriously, "What if I say, 'I am too?'"
Jiang Zhuoyan's eyes suddenly widened, "You..."
At that moment, many images flashed through her mind. No wonder after her rebirth, Shen Fengni resolutely broke up with Yu Qian and severed ties with her family without any hesitation or sadness.
At that time, she thought that Shen Fengni had suddenly figured it out, but now she thought that it was because she had known for a long time that it was a road of no return.
"I was reborn once, just like you." Shen Fengni held her hand and said gently, "If you want, I can tell you now."
"Okay." Jiang Zhuoyan murmured, "I want to listen."
As time passed, the vehicles in the parking lot gradually left, and the surrounding area became mostly empty, appearing deserted and desolate.
Under the soft light of the street lamps, the shadows of the trees swayed in the evening breeze, and the tiny rustling sounds blocked out the whispers inside the car.
As Jiang Zhuoyan listened, tears welled up in her eyes again.
The dark blue eyes sparkled like a lake under the moonlight, beautiful and fragile.
She said: "Feng Ni, I can't lose you again."
She lived in a daze in the days after Shen Fengni's death in her previous life.
Perhaps it was the brain's self-protection mechanism at work. When she recalled it now, the details had become blurry, but she could never forget the heart-wrenching sadness.
She personally sorted out Shen Fengni's belongings one by one, attended Shen Fengni's funeral, and settled Shen Fengni's friends, as if this could save something.
Everything reminded her of Shen Fengni, or perhaps she had never forgotten her from the beginning to the end. It brought her both pain and joy, soothing her loneliness like drinking poison to quench thirst.
As time passed, the bloody wound scabbed and healed, but left an indelible scar.
Whenever she couldn't find Chen Fengni, she would feel a dull pain, making her feel very confused.
"We won't be separated again, I promise." Chen Fengni kissed Jiang Zhuoyan's forehead distressedly, "Thank you for your hard work, Nian Nian."
Jiang Zhuoyan couldn't remember what happened afterwards. He only remembered that he talked a lot until his eyes could no longer open. When he woke up again, he was lying on his bed at home.
The sky outside the window was already bright. Without looking at the time, she knew that even if she packed up as quickly as possible and rushed to the company, she would definitely be late.
Jiang Zhuoyan is not overly obsessed with his career and never harshly exploits his subordinates, but he has very high demands on himself.
She is used to doing everything to the best of her ability, like a precision instrument with a set of perfect procedures that are accurate to the last detail and rarely make mistakes.
She has a detailed daily schedule, strictly divided by priority, and handles each task one by one in an orderly manner. If any problem occurs in any link, it must be remedied immediately.
Although she sometimes felt tired from work, she could handle everything. In her previous life, Jiang Zhuoyan never felt that there was anything wrong with this kind of life.
After rebirth, Jiang Zhuoyan sometimes thinks about a question.
Is the proportion of work in her life too high?
After being with Shen Fengni, this question appeared in my mind more frequently.
Maybe it's okay to slow down a bit, or maybe it's okay to stop and rest for a while. Some things are not as important as you think, and there are some important things that she may have been ignoring.
She works to bring a better life and more happiness to herself and her loved ones. But she now understands one thing: when material wealth is sufficient, perhaps companionship itself can bring more happiness to loved ones.
Jiang Zhuoyan turned over and sat up, lowering his eyes to look at the person beside him.
Chen Fengni was still sleeping soundly, breathing evenly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, like fragile butterfly wings.
Jiang Zhuoyan leaned over, kissed Shen Fengni on the cheek, then got out of bed quietly.
She decided to take a day off, and the first thing she did was to make a hearty breakfast for her girlfriend who was still asleep.
Jiang Zhuoyan's plans rarely go wrong, but today she miscalculated. When Shen Fengni woke up, breakfast had turned into lunch.
Chen Fengni sat at the dining table with sleepy eyes, with water droplets still on the ends of her hair from washing.
She glanced at the food in front of her, confused. "What's this combination?"
On the left, toasted bread exudes an enticing aroma, paired with soft and tender scrambled eggs and crispy fried ham. The main ingredients of the salad are fruit and salmon, and the colorful colors are very beautiful.
On the right, there were tempting red-braised spareribs and emerald green stir-fried choy sum. Her beloved girlfriend was serving a dish of shrimp stuffed with green peppers.
"Just think of it as brunch." Jiang Zhuoyan placed a bowl of steaming rice in front of her, bringing warmth to her face.
She originally wanted to make breakfast, but Shen Fengni was still not awake, so she simply made lunch.
Normally she gets off work late, and Chen Fengni has cooked countless dinners for her. This is a rare opportunity, so she has to perform well.
The aroma of food awakened Shen Fengni's chaotic brain. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly guessed what had happened.
She looked at Jiang Zhuoyan with a smile, "What a special brunch."
She hadn't eaten anything since last night and was already starving. Jiang Zhuoyan must have been the same. So, although the food before them was a bit too rich, it wasn't a burden for the two of them.
What's more, Jiang Zhuoyan's cooking skills are really good.
Before I knew it, most of the plates on the table had been cleared.
"Niannian, if you open a shop, business will definitely be very good."
Chen Fengni never hesitates to praise his girlfriend and proves it with practical actions.
Jiang Zhuoyan's brows relaxed, and she smiled faintly, "As long as you like it."
After eating and drinking, she put down her chopsticks and talked about something else, "Feng Ni, there is a dinner party next week, and I want to take you with me."
Shen Fengni naturally wouldn't refuse, "Okay."
Although she didn't like such social occasions, everything would be different if Jiang Zhuoyan was there. She was willing to go anywhere with Jiang Zhuoyan.
Jiang Zhuoyan looked at her with a smile, "Can you participate as my partner?"
"Of course." Shen Fengni's eyes lit up with a smile because of the word "partner". Then she suddenly remembered something, "Wait a minute, is Luo Ye going to attend this dinner too?"
Yesterday in the restaurant, Luo Ye said that he would attend the same banquet with Jiang Zhuoyan in a few days, and used this as a capital to show off to her. Could it be the dinner party that Jiang Zhuoyan mentioned?
Jiang Zhuoyan was a little surprised, "Yes, how did you know?"
Shen Fengni found it funny every time she thought about it, "Luo Ye said that himself, to prove that he and you are good friends."
Jiang Zhuoyan: ...
If it weren't for Sheng Xinyan's accident, she would never have remembered Luo Ye.
The reason why we pay attention to Luo Ye's participation this time is also for other considerations.
Jiang Zhuoyan thought, his eyes gradually becoming deep, "Feng Ni, in my previous life and this life, I investigated Luo Ye twice and discovered some incredible things."
Seeing her serious expression, Shen Fengni's tone also became serious, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Zhuoyan said, "It's not just Sheng Xinyan himself. The Sheng family's business problems in the previous life are also closely related to him."
Shen Fengni frowned, "Does Luo Ye have such great power?"
Luo Ye is only the vice president of Xingye Media. The Luo family does have a certain influence in Qinglan City, but it is still difficult to compete with the Sheng family.
"He really couldn't do it on his own," Jiang Zhuoyan replied, "but the Luo family has a highly respected elder named Luo Shan. According to seniority, Luo Ye should call him uncle. Luo Shan brought Luo Ye to this dinner, and by chance, Luo Ye won the favor of a heavyweight, which gave him the opportunity to target the Sheng family."
"So that's how it is." Shen Fengni seemed to be thinking, "So the purpose of our participation this time is to prevent Luo Ye from having contact with this person?"
"That's not enough." Jiang Zhuoyan stood up and walked quickly to the entrance. She took something out of her bag and placed it in front of Shen Fengni. "This isn't the first time Luo Ye has done such dirty things. He should pay the price for his actions."
Luo Ye is determined to climb up the social ladder, and will certainly do whatever it takes to get close to powerful people. Therefore, it is useless to stop him just once. He must be killed once and for all.
Shen Fengni looked down and saw a small USB flash drive lying quietly on the table. It was a thin piece of paper, and the texture on its surface shone slightly under the light.
She seemed to understand something, "Is this... Luo Ye's evidence of guilt?"
"I guess so." Jiang Zhuoyan smiled, "The contents here are enough to completely destroy him."
Shen Fengni's heartbeat quickened. Seeing Jiang Zhuoyan's determined look, he must have a plan. "What are you going to do?"
"I will expose what he has done to the world and bring him to ruin."
Jiang Zhuoyan spoke lightly, as if he was just crushing an insignificant ant. "Believe me, after this dinner, he won't be able to hold his head up in Qinglan City anymore."
