Chapter 66 66. The cat was wrinkled by her shirt
After arguing in the duty room for another five minutes, Zheng Xiaocong's hiccups and crying voice on the phone urged people to get in the car, saying that he realized that his godmother had run away with the kitten.
Mi Yanyan had no choice but to go to the front desk to ask for some candy, put it in her pocket and rushed to the restaurant.
When they arrived at the private room, they saw Li Xun and the others had already taken their seats. When everyone saw Shi Jingzhou come in, they all stood up to greet him. Mi Yanyan was not Shi Jingzhou's wife today, so she waved at him and sat down next to Zhao Mei.
Zheng Xiaocong sat in the child seat with tears on her face, chewing on a bone in her hand. She called her godmother politely and glanced at Shi Jingzhou timidly.
"Cat." He spoke unclearly, with soy sauce all over his mouth.
After asking Mei Zi for her opinion, Mi Yanyan took out two chocolates and gave them to him. "Maomao said he'll come after his injection. This is a gift from Maomao for you."
"Thank you, Bug."
Mi Yanyan laughed, "It's Chongchong, thank you, Maomao."
The whole talk of the meal was about veterinary medicine. Mi Yanyan ate in a very relaxed manner. Shi Jingzhou called the minister in charge of Jianuo. She had waist-length hair and a bright appearance. She was very insightful about the situation during the meal and skillfully blocked a lot of wine for him.
Zhao Mei supported Mi Yanyan's waist under the table and whispered, "Your husband is surrounded by all these beautiful women. Doesn't he feel a sense of crisis?"
She raised the corner of her mouth and replied: "This is the first time I've seen this woman. It would be great if she could block the wine for him and not torment me when I get home."
Zhao Mei pricked up her eyes and said, "Madam, you are very conscious."
Mi Yanyan smiled. Shi Jingzhou's social schedule was normal; he would go home after drinking. She had nothing to worry about. Besides, the Shi family had a legitimate family tradition. With Shi Ting and Ye Qionghua keeping an eye on things, there wouldn't be any trouble.
Let's take a step back.
If it really happened, she couldn't control it.
Suddenly, there was a sound of dry heaving beside her ear. Mi Yanyan handed over the paper and asked with concern: "Meizi, do you want to vomit?"
Zhao Mei squinted her eyes and replied, "The seafood smell is strong and a bit unpleasant. I need some vinegar to reduce it."
Mi Yanyan agreed, stood up and went out to ask the waiter for a bowl of vinegar. When she was about to go back to the private room, she heard someone calling her from behind.
Looking again, the person standing under the dim light, slightly drunk, was none other than Xie Jingyang. Without waiting for Mi Yanyan's response, Xie Jingyang walked over and glanced at the private room.
"I had a social event after the seminar. What a coincidence to run into you."
Mi Yanyan was still holding the vinegar bowl. Seeing him hurriedly coming over, she unconsciously stepped back. This step bumped into the waiter who came out, and the black vinegar splashed down her chest.
The waiter was so shocked that he apologized repeatedly. Mi Yanyan calmed down and said, "It's okay. Please send another bowl to the lady inside."
After saying that, she didn't respond to Xie Jingyang, but smiled politely and walked towards the bathroom.
Fortunately, she was wearing a black silk dress, so the vinegar stains were not noticeable. However, the water stains were not dry enough after wiping them off, and they stuck to her chest, which was not very nice.
There were two knocks on the door, and a distant and unfamiliar voice was heard.
"Blow it."
Mi Yanyan looked up at the mirror and saw Xie Jingyang leaning against the door, holding a hair dryer that he had gotten from somewhere.
"Thank you." She took it.
The originally quiet bathroom was filled with a continuous buzzing sound. Mi Yanyan lowered her eyes and picked up a piece of clothes in front of her chest to blow it. She saw Xie Jingyang lit a cigarette and was still standing there. Seeing that her attention was still declining, she consciously closed the door halfway.
In this regard, Xie Jingyang has always been respectful to her. They have been dating for half a year. He had tried it before, but whenever Mi Yanyan refused, he would never overstep the line.
"Xiaoyan, I left suddenly that year because something happened at my father's hospital. When I landed and wanted to contact you, I found that you had deleted me."
Mi Yanyan paused. At that time, they had a three-day limit and clearly agreed not to contact each other until she thought it through clearly.
She turned off the hair dryer, wound the cord back on, and replied, "It doesn't matter anymore."
"It's very important. If it wasn't so sudden, I would wait for your answer before leaving."
"The answer won't satisfy you."
Even without Jiang Fei, she would not give up everything and leave Nancheng with Xie Jingyang. Mi Yanyan thought about it many times, and the final answer was obvious. She didn't love this person enough, and was even more unwilling to take risks for him.
"I haven't had anyone else in these years. Every year, I come back and see you graduate, work, and become independent. But I don't have the courage to see you. I know about Jiang Fei..."
"If it weren't for her," Mi Yanyan turned around, "even without Jiang Fei, we wouldn't have a future."
He knew how important his grandfather was to him, but he still persuaded her to leave her hometown. In the final analysis, everyone is selfish and unwilling to give up the things they care about.
"So I came back. I will settle down in South City. Business abroad is not as important to me as you."
Mi Yanyan no longer wanted to discuss this with him. She even felt that he was being unreasonable. He knew that she was already married, but he kept saying these irrelevant and nonsense things.
"Again, I'm married, my husband treats me well, and my family is very good too."
When Xie Jingyang heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, his peach blossom eyes seemed to be soaked in wine, and his expression was helpless.
"Shi Zekai's mother had her uterus removed after losing a baby. The old man of the Shi family used some trickery to get Shi Ye drunk and make a mistake. By the time he got the child back, he was already over a year old. Shi Zekai's biological mother's whereabouts are still unknown. Shi Ye's first wife couldn't bear the shock and died early from illness. Shi Zekai appeared to be obedient, but secretly he had already split up with Shi Jingzhou."
"In the future, Shi Jingzhou will definitely find ways to unite with Shi Huaizhi to eliminate this cancer. As Ruisi's successor, Shi Jingzhou can't escape it, whether it's inheriting the family business or continuing the family line. Even if he loves you and follows your heart, can you guarantee that the old man won't use the same trick again?"
"The Shi family is too deep-seated. Some tasks are historical propositions that cannot be changed by you. Xiaoyan, can you really stay in this kind of family?"
He had known for a long time that Shi Jingzhou was hosting a banquet today. Just now, he saw a beautiful young woman blocking the wine for him, while Mi Yanyan was sitting in the corner as silly as she was in school. If no one introduced her, who would know that she was Mrs. Shi.
"As long as Shi Huaizhi sets his mind on plotting against Shi Jingzhou, anyone can replace you. They don't care who their wife is."
It only matters who obeys.
Mi Yanyan's fingertips moved slightly, touching the scorching-hot tungsten wire inside, and she hurriedly moved away.
He couldn't help but think of Shi Huaizhi's expression when he never looked at him straight in the eye. It was undeniable that it could indeed be described in three words.
Don't care.
Or, it doesn't matter.
What Yan Ge said was absolutely right. Shi Huaizhi wanted her to marry Shi Zekai simply because he saw that she had no special talents and was mediocre.
It’s a pity that Yan Ge doesn’t know these things that are rotten in her bones, or maybe she knows but just doesn’t bother to tell outsiders.
Same as Shi Jingzhou.
"It's just giving birth to a baby. If it doesn't work out, just give birth to it." Mi Yanyan smiled again, her tone lively but with helplessness hidden in it. She walked out and handed the hair dryer back.
"You said you would never accept an unknown gamble. You agreed to the marriage for Grandpa, and now the Jingzhou family's fight is inevitable. You have never liked this kind of family. How long can you endure the grievances?"
If it was me who was selfish enough to make her give up everything when they were young, then the person who put Mi Yanyan in this dangerous marriage now cannot be that kind either.
"Already gambling," she said.
"What if we lose?" Xie Jingyang asked from behind her.
"Then fold."
Mi Yanyan didn't look back. After she finished speaking, she disappeared at the end of the corridor. The door of the private room opened and closed, casting a shadow on the carpet. Her footsteps flashed by.
Xie Jingyang glanced towards the shadow and smiled to himself.

On a spring morning, Shi Jingzhou resumed his morning run. After taking a shower and going downstairs, he saw Mi Yanyan closing her phone and lazily lying on the dining table looking at him.
"Going on a business trip again?"
Shi Jingzhou pulled out a chair and sat down next to her, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, let's go to Hong Kong."
Mi Yanyan snuggled into his arms like a little animal and nuzzled his shirt, which was clean and comfortable with a faint scent of perfume. "How long will it take for you to be back?"
Shi Jingzhou glanced at the itinerary, put his phone upside down on the dining table, and said, "It's expected to take a week."
The person in his arms lowered his head and made a soft protest from his throat. Shi Jingzhou frowned and said, "Try to give it three days."
Mi Yanyan grabbed the corner of his clothes and sat up, curled her eyes and said, "Three days is fine." After that, she stroked her wrinkled shirt with her hand, and her fingertips caressed her abdomen through the fabric.
Shi Jingzhou held her wrist and brought her into his arms.
"Want to go to the Suzhou branch?"
Mi Yanyan raised her head and said, "You know everything, but I haven't thought about it yet. Sister Meizi is back to give birth, and she wants me to go."
The referral center's operations were back on track, with Xu Chang and key personnel from various hospitals taking turns seeing patients, and the clinic was running smoothly. However, the Suzhou branch, which had left Zhao Mei, lacked an experienced surgeon.
"We'll talk about it later if we can't find a suitable one." Zhao Mei was too embarrassed to say more. After all, if Mi Yanyan agreed, she would have to live in Suzhou for most of the next six months, which meant she would be separated from her husband.
"Yeah." Shi Jingzhou didn't comment, as if he was just asking an ordinary question.
Mi Yanyan couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or happy. She glanced at the time and saw that there was still more than an hour before boarding, so she urged, "Hurry up, or you'll miss the plane."
After the new year, he took control of Shi Zekai's lifeline and merged several of his branches. Shi Ye's original tricks were uprooted, and the Hong Kong branch was in turmoil. His going there to take charge was the fastest solution at the moment.
"Eat on time." Shi Jingzhou placed a kiss on her brow and was about to get up, but was held back by Mi Yanyan. Their lips rubbed against each other for a while, and the kiss, mixed with the scent of fig yogurt from breakfast, was random. She focused on her lower lip, licking and biting it, and then she sucked his chin, teasing his Adam's apple in the process, which made people unable to stop.
Well, he's the only one who can't stop.
Mi Yanyan suddenly turned her head as if to stop for a taste, pushed him to the door of her house, waved goodbye, closed the door, and locked it, all in one go.
He got on the car before he even had time to say goodbye to the peanuts and popcorn.
The grass and trees all became reflections, and he finally came back to his senses from the beauty just now. He didn't want Mi Yanyan to leave, nor did he have the heart to interfere with her choice.
Ruisi was anxious and confused at the moment. If Shi Huaizhi's physical condition did not improve significantly, the head-on confrontation between him and Shi Zekai would soon begin.
That would not be as simple as a small fight. To completely overthrow the chess pieces and situation that Shiye has laid out over the years, there would definitely be heavy casualties.
His phone vibrated and he picked it up. It was a video sent by Mi Yanyan.
Peanuts and Popcorn on the sofa looked impatient. They tried to run away several times but were held down by Mi Yanyan. The person holding the camera should be Aunt Chen. After all, the picture was shaking badly, and there was always a hand with a protective sleeve on the right side that came into the picture, trying to help.
"Hurry, raise your hands and say goodbye to Daddy."
Peanut whimpered twice rather reluctantly, and Popcorn jumped and ran away.
Mi Yanyan put her hands on her hips and panted, then turned to the camera and said, "You didn't say goodbye to them, they are angry."
The voice-over was the two people laughing, and then Mi Yanyan took back the phone and turned it towards herself.
Lying on the sofa with her arms around Peanut's golden head, both pairs of eyes staring at the camera, her face as pink as a peach blossom, she leaned closer and whispered, "What should I do, I miss you a little bit."
Uncle Wu couldn't help laughing after hearing this and looked up at the rearview mirror.
Shi Jingzhou held his phone and stared out the window, his expression filled with both fondness and an indescribable worry. He quickly withdrew his gaze, fearing they would cross paths, and stared straight ahead, feeling that something was different about Shi Zong.
When he looked over again, he had straightened his clothes and was looking at documents with a serious expression, his face as distant as ever.
Mi Yanyan didn't wait for Shi Jingzhou's message. When she heard the knock on the door, she threw her phone away and went to open the door. Yu Wan was smiling and holding the beer in his hand.
"My useless husband left?"
"Yeah," Mi Yanyan ran back to the sofa, took out her phone from the crack, took another look at it, and immediately put it back, "I'm gone, gone completely."
"Why do you sound disappointed?" Yu Wan changed his shoes and walked inside.
"I'm not disappointed, I'm very happy." Mi Yanyan looked half dead.
Yu Wan sat next to her mysteriously, and only dared to speak after seeing Aunt Chen enter the kitchen.
"I've contacted the doctor. I asked my family to find one without alerting any friends. Remember to go on time."
