Chapter 197 Greed



There's no distinction between the man and woman now, but the people from Li Mo's family are sitting together.

This will make it easier for everyone to take care of each other!

Chen Jiayi and Shen Jialiang watched as Chi's father spoke on the stage, followed by Chi Yan leading Li Mo around to offer toasts.

They're just saying hello tonight, not having a wedding toast.

Chen Jiayi wasn't hungry to begin with, but the Chi family had prepared a lot of snacks and pastries in the living room that afternoon.

Knowing that Shen Jialiang had arrived, Chen Jiayi couldn't help but relax a little.

She couldn't help but eat a couple more bites of pastries in the afternoon.

When it came time for dinner, I couldn't eat anything.

Chen Jiayi discovered that there were still some acquaintances among them.

For example, Song Zhiyan, Shen Huiyang, Du Sisi, etc...

Upon seeing familiar faces, Chen Jiayi and Shen Jialiang greeted each other.

They hadn't seen each other at first, although there weren't many people, there were still quite a few.

If you don't specifically look around, you won't even notice that there are acquaintances there.

When others came up to greet them, Chen Jiayi and Shen Jialiang couldn't just pretend they didn't see it.

So, when someone greets you, someone else will offer you a toast, and you have to drink it.

Shen Jialiang hadn't even started eating anything yet, but he'd already drunk quite a bit of alcohol.

Chen Jiayi originally wanted to persuade Shen Jialiang to drink less.

However, Shen Huiyang's wife, Chen Jiayi, hasn't seen each other for a long time.

Curious, she sat down next to Chen Jiayi, shooing Shen Jialiang to sit at the same table as Shen Huiyang.

Chen Jiayi watched Shen Jialiang and Shen Huiyang leave, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Chen Jiayi knew a small number of people, but most of them knew Shen Jialiang.

I wonder if Shen Jialiang will drink too much later?

Chen Jiayi couldn't help but think about it, but before she could continue, Du Sisi, who was standing to the side, spoke up curiously.

"Chen Jiayi, how long have you been married to Shen Jialiang?"

Du Sisi never expected that Chen Jiayi would actually marry Shen Jialiang.

If she hadn't rushed into marriage to avoid being sent to the countryside, she actually had some feelings for Shen Jialiang.

Now that she's been married for many years, Du Sisi thinks back to when she was in school and always targeted Chen Jiayi. She feels so immature back then.

People who already knew each other gathered together, and were friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they had a lot to talk about.

It was during this conversation that Chen Jiayi learned that Du Sisi had already given birth to a boy and a girl.

She was somewhat surprised when she found out. She didn't know who had spread the rumor that Du Sisi's life was not good after marrying Shen Huiyang, and that she was living like a widow.

But they've already had two children, so there must be some affection between them. How could there be children if there wasn't affection?

Chen Jiayi talked to Du Sisi for a long time and learned that Du Sisi was doing quite well now.

As for Song Zhiya, who almost harmed Du Sisi back then, I heard she's living a miserable life now.

Chen Jiayi thought it made sense; the Lin family had fallen from power.

Du Sisi had a good relationship with the Lin family's relatives, though Chen Jiayi remembered that they weren't close relatives.

Song Zhiya is different; she has a very close relationship with the Lin family.

Although she was a cousin's niece, Song Zhiya was very favored by Mrs. Lin, who was also Du Guizhi.

If Song Zhiya hadn't been such a fool and brought this upon herself, Du Guizhi would surely have protected her while the Lin family was still around.

However, now that the Lin family has lost power, Du Sisi has long since severed ties with Haicheng and has been developing her career in Beijing. Song Zhiya can't rely on anyone and can only choose to fight on her own.

Originally, Song Zhiya thought the job would be simple, but she never expected that she couldn't even do a regular clerical job well and was kicked out of the company.

I don't know what he's doing now, but I've heard he's not doing well.

The mealtime passed by little by little as the two chatted.

Soon, Li Mo and Chi Yan brought a toast to their table.

This table was mostly filled with women, and very few of them were drinking.

After Li Mo said a few words to the Chi Yan officials to thank everyone for coming to help in advance, they took Li Mo to the next table.

Chen Jiayi then realized that she and Du Sisi hadn't been sitting down for long, but in such a short time, quite a few people had already gathered.

She immediately fell silent and sat quietly listening to Du Sisi speak.

Du Sisi was chatting enthusiastically, but when she saw Chen Jiayi suddenly fall silent, she awkwardly reached out and touched her head.

"Chen Jiayi, I'm sorry for what happened back then!"

Chen Jiayi glanced at Du Sisi, puzzled, wondering what she was apologizing for.

Du Sisi could tell from Chen Jiayi's eyes that the other woman didn't take the matter to heart.

On the contrary, she kept thinking to herself how naive she had been back then. If she could see Chen Jiayi again, she would definitely apologize to her in person.

Du Sisi and Chen Jiayi chatted for a long time, during which Chi Mengqiu took some time to come over.

I was worried that Chen Jiayi would be bored, and that Li Mo's family would feel very awkward and uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, when Chi Mengqiu arrived, she saw a table full of people chatting and laughing.

Chi Mengqiu breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

She didn't notice at all that one of Chen Jiayi's people was missing...

.

Looking at the magnificent upstairs decor, a hint of greed flashed in Li Yan's eyes.

The Chi family is really rich!

Why make such a big fuss about getting married? Like they're afraid people won't know they're married?

Li Yan regretted it a little; why didn't she come to Beijing in the first place?

She had always wanted to leave Shanghai, so why didn't she think of coming to Beijing?

There are so many rich people in Beijing. If Li Mo can marry a rich man, so can she!

Li Yan couldn't help but think to herself, biting her lower lip as she carefully walked towards the door upstairs.

Suddenly, Li Yan stopped at a doorway.

She looked conflicted, but after hearing footsteps, she quickly pushed open the door and went inside.

After entering the room, Li Yan noticed its unusual decor and immediately realized that it was likely the master bedroom.

She stared in surprise at the master bedroom, her eyes filled with envy.

She had been with Ding Haowen for so long, but all she received was a tiny bit of kindness from him.

In the end, Ding Haowen ran away without a word, leaving her and her child behind. Li Yan still had to borrow money to have an abortion.

As for Chen Jiahua? He is indeed very generous, but Li Yan doesn't interact with him very often.

And later, Chen Jiahua died!

Li Yan wanted to leave Lianhua Town her whole life, but she could never leave it.

She wanted to find someone powerful and influential to get her out of Lotus Town.

Li Yan's job is somewhat complicated, and she cannot be transferred to another position at will unless there is a promotion.

So she always thought about finding a powerful and influential man.

Li Yan was very clear about her own abilities, and even more so about the fact that she could not get the life she wanted if she did not find a powerful and influential man.

Clearly, she failed.

But now...

Li Yan looked around the room, a look of longing flashing in her eyes.

If she becomes the daughter-in-law of the Chi family, then all these valuable things in the house will be hers.
