Those who once made her uncomfortable, those who sucked her blood in her past life, have now all received their just deserts.
Chen Jiayi was in a good mood.
Upon hearing that Lin Yuyao wanted to see her, Chen Jiayi refused outright.
Having been rivals with Lin Yuyao for so many years, Chen Jiayi still knows her quite well.
Given Lin Yuyao's temper, she would most likely want to call her over and scold her.
Chen Jiayi has no interest in inviting criticism.
However, she sent someone a message that Lin Chen'an was still alive.
As expected, Lin Yuyao was furious when she heard the news.
What Chen Jiayi didn't tell her was that although Lin Chen'an was still alive, it would have been better if he hadn't.
Chen Jiayi's life will get better and better, while those who deserve retribution will receive their just deserts.
.
On Chen Jiayi's 30th birthday, the Shen and Chen families threw her a grand celebration.
At this birthday party, Chen Jiayi met an unexpected person.
Jiang Wenbo.
When Chen Jiayi saw Jiang Wenbo, she paused for a few seconds, then quickly smiled.
"Mr. Jiang, it's been a long time."
Jiang Wenbo hummed in agreement and glanced at her slightly protruding belly.
"Congratulations."
Chen Jiayi was somewhat surprised, then chuckled softly.
"I heard that people who study medicine can read faces, and I never thought it was true."
The last time I saw Jiang Wenbo was probably last year when Grandpa Jiang passed away.
Jiang Wenbo chuckled lightly but didn't say anything.
"Let me introduce my wife to you. Her surname is Qiao and her given name is Sisi."
Chen Jiayi greeted the two with a smile and watched them go inside.
Actually, no one knew that Chen Jiayi initially had a tiny bit of affection for Jiang Wenbo.
Yes, that was the first time Chen Jiayi had met someone so amazing.
Jiang Wenbo was the first cultured person Chen Jiayi came into contact with at that time.
People naturally admire those who are strong.
Chen Jiayi just didn't expect that their spark would end before it even began.
However, Chen Jiayi has no regrets and doesn't think too much about it.
Some things are a matter of fate.
Chen Jiayi continued to welcome the other guests, constantly practicing social etiquette.
Actually, none of this is necessary, but Chen Jiayi is backed by the Chen family.
The Chen family remains the richest family in the business district, and Chen Jiayi certainly cannot remain silent when social interactions are required.
After almost all the guests had arrived, Chen Jiayi had finished greeting them.
Shen Jialiang stayed by her side the whole time. He noticed that Chen Jiayi kept looking outside and knew that she was wondering why Li Mo and Chi Mengqiu hadn't arrived yet.
Shen Jialiang glanced at his watch, then looked at the doorway.
Fortunately, a few people arrived just minutes before the banquet was about to begin.
Yes, there were several people.
Xu Cuihua somehow ended up arriving with them.
Because it was Chen Jiayi's birthday party, Chen Jiayi had to go on stage and say a few words before everyone could start eating.
So even though Chen Jiayi was very curious at the moment, she had to go on stage and go through the ceremony first.
After Chen Jiayi finished her formal pleasantries, she slowly walked downstairs.
When Chen Jiayi came down, a guest stepped forward and greeted her politely.
"Miss Chen, you look beautiful in your dress today!"
The man's eyes were full of admiration, and his voice was that of a native of Haicheng.
He raised his glass to toast Chen Jiayi, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Chen Jiayi gave a polite smile and thanked the man.
She politely took a sip as a return gesture.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Jiayi said that she had other things to take care of.
The other party immediately told Chen Jiayi to go ahead and do her work.
As Chen Jiayi left, she could feel a gaze following her from behind.
Chen Jiayi had already gotten used to it.
When you become an outstanding person, there will always be people who admire you and look up to you.
Seeing the three unreliable people in front of her, Chen Jiayi asked with amusement.
"Where have you been? Why are you so late?"
Chi Mengqiu sighed, "Sigh, when we arrived we encountered your sister-in-law being harassed by someone. It took us a while to help her resolve the trouble, but luckily we made it in time."
Upon hearing Chi Mengqiu's words, Chen Jiayi looked at Xu Cuihua.
Xu Cuihua looked embarrassed and gave Chen Jiayi the birthday gift she had prepared.
"Jiayi, my parents are here. I'm so sorry..."
She never expected that her parents would actually find her again!
Looking at Xu Cuihua now, Chen Jiayi felt as if she were seeing herself in her past life.
She smiled, a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including regret or nostalgia).
"Sister Cuihua, there are some things you still need to let go of yourself."
If Xu Cuihua doesn't support herself, no amount of help from others will be of any use!
Li Mo, who had been silent until now, slowly opened his mouth.
"Yes, we can help you with this once, but we can't help you forever. If we hadn't happened to run into you today, you might have been pulled back by now."
Seeing that there were still things she didn't know, Chen Jiayi immediately asked what was going on.
Xu Cuihua's eyes reddened, and she spoke out herself.
"Although my relationship with my family has been strained for many years and we haven't been in much contact, I still send some money back to them every month."
"They somehow found their way here today. They blocked my way at the door and told me to go back with them and get married."
"They said they received a bride price from someone, and my younger brother is getting married. They want me to go back and get married..."
There were even harsher things she said, but Xu Cuihua didn't say them aloud.
Chi Mengqiu, standing to the side, spoke with a mocking expression.
"You have no idea, this is the first time I've ever seen biological parents say such hurtful things to their own daughter."
"What are they saying? Is Xu Cuihua being kept by someone in the big city, which is why she doesn't want to go back and get married?"
"What's wrong with getting married? Xu Cuihua became a mother without any pain after marrying into that family."
"Damn it, I was absolutely furious when I heard that!"
Chen Jiayi frowned. She hadn't expected that after so much time had passed, the things that happened to Xu Cuihua in the previous life would still happen in this life in the same way.
If it were just about getting Xu Cuihua to go back and get married, Chen Jiayi knew that Xu Cuihua's parents were just like that.
But it turned out to be the same person Xu Cuihua married in her previous life...
In her previous life, Xu Cuihua married a divorced man with a child. He gave her family a dowry first. Xu Cuihua's younger brother was getting married, but because he had no money, he accepted the dowry.
Then they coaxed Xu Cuihua into going home, locked her up inside, and married her off on her wedding day.
Chen Jiayi's expression turned cold. "When we went back to Lianhua Town a couple of years ago, your parents ran away. In the end, we gave them a sum of money and told them to leave. We agreed not to show up again, but we didn't expect them to take the money and not do anything."
Chen Jiayi could easily have someone ask for the money back, but given how money-loving Xu Cuihua's parents are, they would never return it to her.
Chen Jiayi will threaten her then...
