Because they went to the wrong place, the two people who should have been sitting in the restaurant early arrived an hour late.
In the beautifully decorated Western restaurant, Lin Yisheng rested her chin on her hand, looking at the well-behaved and gentle Fang Zhi across from her.
"Do you pity your adopted sister and her adoptive parents?"
Fang Zhi thought about it carefully. The Fang family had brought her many painful memories, but time is a great healer. The pain would fade with time. But she was not a saint. She could not forgive them, but she would not live her whole life with hatred for them.
If you stare into the abyss for too long, the abyss will stare back at you; you will never find liberation or happiness that way.
Therefore, she tends to treat them more like strangers.
"I don't seem to feel anything," Fang Zhi answered honestly. "Besides, as far as I know, the area around Qingshan Village has been developed. I don't understand why Fang Zhen, who can live a good life, would still come looking for trouble with me?"
"People are prone to jealousy. In your sister's mind, someone who has always been worse off than her suddenly becomes better off. Do you think she can feel at peace with that?"
After speaking, Lin Yisheng smiled meaningfully, "And do you think your brother will let them off easily? Do you think that family of three is living a happy and fulfilling life with the demolition compensation?"
It's unclear when Qi Shen began to treat Fang Zhi as his possession, but how could a man like that easily let go of someone who hurt Fang Zhi?
After all, if it were her, she wouldn't be as magnanimous as Fang Zhi. If she weren't afraid of being trampled to death by those who bullied her, she wouldn't be surnamed Lin.
Fang Zhi nodded, seemingly understanding, "Sister Lin, do you mean my brother caused them trouble before?"
"I think so, you can ask him if you don't believe me."
......
Time flies when women are together, but the two main characters are completely unaware of this.
Night fell over the city, and outside, cars and neon lights mingled. Most of the restaurant's customers had left.
Lin Yisheng glanced up and saw two familiar figures walking towards their table less than five meters away.
Especially since they were staring at her intently, it was impossible for her to deliver a message openly and honestly.
"Sister Lin, why do you always call President Cheng a dog and a bastard in private? Does it make you happy to curse him like that?"
Fang Zhi looked at Lin Yisheng with a questioning expression, while the latter lowered her head, covered her mouth, and coughed lightly, her voice extremely low.
"Stop talking, you know someone's there."
Fang Zhi probably hadn't experienced anything like this before, so no matter how much Lin Yisheng reminded her, she didn't notice.
"Sister Lin, what did you say? Your voice was too soft, I didn't hear you. If secretly cursing someone makes me feel better, I also want to curse my brother as a scoundrel..."
Fang Zhi was sometimes really angry at her brother for bullying her, but she couldn't fight back. After holding it in for a long time, she wanted to try cursing him to vent her anger.
"..." Seeing that the person was almost in front of her, in order to stop Fang Zhi from continuing, Lin Yisheng gritted her teeth and kicked the girl under the table.
Fang Zhi was kicked and his body trembled, instantly stunned.
Before she could react, the light in her field of vision was blocked, and she saw the beautiful woman opposite her look up, wave, and smile, "Why did you all come together?"
Cheng Shiyan glanced at Qi Shen indifferently, the meaning of which was self-evident: they came because Qi Shen was worried.
Lin Yisheng pursed her red lips.
She doesn't believe him at all. If Qi Shen is worried, he can come by himself. Why do they have to come together?
Seeing his little canary's disbelieving look, Cheng Shiyan subtly curved his lips into a smile.
Only then did I realize that I was following her gaze and looking straight into her deep eyes behind her clean and tidy glasses.
"elder brother......"
What did she just say? Did he not hear it? Fang Zhi's heart was pounding wildly.
"Hmm." Qi Shen remained calm, showing no sign of anything amiss. He patted the girl's head and explained gently, "It's too late. Shi Yan and I were worried about the two of you being out alone, so we came looking for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man glanced at the food on the table, his brows furrowing slightly. "Weren't you all at the restaurant a while ago? You've been chatting all this time, not eating?"
Before Fang Zhi could speak, Lin Yisheng lifted her eyelids and said, "Sit down and talk."
The long table was just right for four people. Qi Shen and Fang Zhi sat on one side, while Lin Yisheng and his wife sat opposite them.
“That’s how it is. Zhizhi and I waited for so long, one on each side…” As Lin Yisheng finished speaking, both men fell silent.
On the way here, they considered all sorts of reasons, but the two men never imagined it was because Fang Zhi had reported the wrong grade. They still believed in her, and she believed in her.
One firmly believed she would come, while the other dared to wait without asking any questions, enduring an entire hour before finally making a phone call.
If it were anyone else, Cheng Shiyan would have already mocked them for being stupid and not caring about the phone bill. But with his wife, he skillfully remained silent.
After a while, Qi Shen broke the silence at the table, "I know, you guys eat first."
With the arrival of their respective men, Lin Yisheng and Fang Zhi stopped whispering to each other.
We finished dinner quickly and said goodbye.
......
In the bustling city, the atmosphere inside the car was quiet.
The streetlights swept across the man's profile as he casually toyed with the girl's soft, boneless hand.
“Brother.” Fang Zhi turned to look at him, her voice soft, “I have to go out to dinner with someone next Monday night. I also have another opportunity to go out this month.”
"Hmm?" Qi Shen lowered his eyes.
"Do you remember Teacher Xia Mianyi? She thought I danced very well and invited me out to dinner." Fang Zhi ignored the details of how she and Xia Mianyi knew each other and deliberately avoided mentioning the arts festival in front of men.
Qi Shen's eyes flickered slightly.
Xia Mianyi returned from abroad, and Zhizhi's only opportunity to get to know Xia Mianyi was at the arts festival.
When he initially agreed to let her go out a few times a month, he didn't expect the young woman to have so many dinner parties.
