Upon seeing Chen Jiayi, who had become noticeably fairer and possessed a much better demeanor than before, Song Zhiya's eyes revealed a look of surprise.
"Jiayi".
Chen Jiayi looked up at Song Zhiya. She had forgotten to take something and had turned back to get it, but she still ran into Song Zhiya.
To be honest, Chen Jiayi didn't want to have any contact with Song Zhiya.
She always felt something was off about being with Song Zhiya.
It's as if the other person has always been wearing a mask...
Chen Jiayi gave a gentle smile and greeted her in return.
Seeing that Chen Jiayi's attitude was becoming increasingly distant, Song Zhiya gave her a sweet smile.
"Jiayi, are you free tomorrow? Let's go shopping together."
Chen Jiayi shook her head. "I have something to do tomorrow."
Song Zhiya glanced at her brother in surprise, then asked Chen Jiayi.
"Aren't you not having class tomorrow?"
"Yes, but I have other things to do."
Song Zhiya smiled and said, "Alright then."
She turned around and glanced at Du Sisi.
"Sisi, are you free tomorrow?"
Du Sisi had always wanted to get close to Song Zhiyan, but these days reputation is a serious matter.
When Song Zhiya took the initiative to ask her out, Du Sisi immediately said happily.
"I'm fine!"
"How about we go shopping together tomorrow?"
"OK."
Du Sisi and Song Zhiya chatted while giving Chen Jiayi a provocative look.
Chen Jiayi didn't care at all; she just felt that Du Sisi was young and had a good background, so she was a bit arrogant.
Song Zhiya stared at Chen Jiayi's back, a strange look in her eyes.
Du Sisi happened to turn around and saw it, and she looked at Song Zhiya strangely.
Song Zhiya quickly realized what was happening and immediately changed her expression.
Everyone here grew up in a large, secluded family compound, and Du Sisi immediately realized something was wrong.
On her way home from school, she kept wondering what Song Zhiya's look meant...
When Chen Jiayi arrived home, she was surprised to see that the house had been redecorated.
"Aunt Wang, what day is it today?"
Aunt Wang pulled Chen Jiayi aside and whispered something in her ear.
"Shh, today is the wedding anniversary of Mr. Headache. Mrs. has been feeling down lately, so Mr. was thinking of cheering her up today and prepared a lot of surprises."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiayi was stunned.
Wedding anniversary?
In their past life, Chen Jiayi and Ding Haowen had been together for so long, but they never celebrated their wedding anniversary.
Even on her birthday, she simply cooked a couple of dishes herself.
Chen Jiayi chuckled softly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Aunt Wang smiled and took out a bouquet of flowers.
"This was prepared for you by your husband, so you can give it to your mother later."
Chen Jiayi stared at the flowers in her hand, somewhat surprised. They were from her grandfather's yard...
She couldn't help but think, if marriage were like this, why would so many women be unhappy?
Chen Jiayi clicked her tongue, wondering if she would ever meet a man like her father in her lifetime.
For some reason, Chen Jiayi subconsciously pictured her future partner's face.
It's actually Shen Jialiang's!?
Chen Jiayi realized her own thought and immediately shook her head in disgust.
Shen Jialiang is indeed handsome, but this kind of man looks cold and aloof, and is not suitable for marriage.
Moreover, Chen Jiayi has no intention of getting married in this life.
She thinks dating is worth a try, but marriage is out of the question.
Lan Meixuan attended a banquet for the ladies today.
She heard a lot of gossip today.
Lan Meixuan rubbed her temples wearily, thinking about the major events that had recently occurred in the Lin family.
She sighed, hoping her daughter wouldn't run into Huang Mao.
The moment Lan Meixuan opened the door, several voices immediately rang out.
"Welcome home, Comrade Lan Meixuan!"
"Whoa!!!"
Lan Meixuan was stunned and before she could react, a bouquet of flowers was stuffed into her hand.
Chen Qiming smiled gently and reached out his hand to put the necklace, which he had won at auction and was worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, on Lan Meixuan's head.
Lan Meixuan was somewhat surprised. She had heard people talk about this necklace when she was having a gathering with the other ladies that afternoon.
This necklace was the highlight of the auction.
It is said to have been worn by Empress Dowager Cixi and is quite valuable.
Lan Meixuan was deeply moved, and before she could even utter a word of gratitude, tears had already streamed down her face.
Chen Qiming reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Meixuan, I don't want to see your tearful eyes."
Chen Jiayi disappeared quietly without saying a word.
She returned to her bedroom, tears welling up in her eyes.
It turns out that seeing others happy can also bring tears to my eyes.
She gave her heart, but what did she receive in return?
Her husband looked down on her for being a country girl, her daughter looked down on her for being from the city, and her mother-in-law looked down on her for being useless and unable to control her husband…
She always thought it was her own problem, but she saw the answer in her parents' love.
She gave her all, worked hard, and fought for it; it was Ding Haowen who wronged her.
What goes around comes around, and one day the boomerang will strike Ding Haowen.
Chen Jiayi calmed down and focused on her studies.
She wants to work hard to improve herself, get into Shanghai University, and become a top-notch researcher!
