Half an hour later, Chen Jin returned home soaked in rain.
Chen Jin was instantly filled with anger when she saw Xiao Fei sitting on the sofa watching TV, looking refreshed.
"Xiao Fei, how come you didn't get wet in the rain? You had an umbrella, why didn't you pick me up? Look how soaked I am! All the girls in our office had someone to pick them up..." Chen Jin was only focused on venting her dissatisfaction and didn't notice the impatience on Xiao Fei's face at all.
“Ah Jin, this umbrella was lent to me by a colleague. Our two workplaces are so far apart. If I go to pick you up, it will either take an hour to walk or cost several tens of yuan to take a taxi. With that money, wouldn't it be great if we saved up to buy a house?” Although Xiao Fei was unhappy with Chen Jin’s temper, she was, after all, his fiancée. Besides, Xiao Fei was still a little guilty about what happened today.
"You keep saying you want to buy a house, but it's been so long and you still haven't bought one. Didn't we agree to pay a down payment when we graduated?" Chen Jin felt so wronged.
After graduating, Chen Jin originally planned to live in the employee dormitory of Shen's Group, but Shen's Group was replaced by Su's Group, and Su's Group's dormitory was not free, costing 1,200 yuan a month.
Upon learning this, Xiao Fei persuaded Chen Jin to stay at his home, since he had an empty room and there was no need for Chen Jin to waste her money.
Hehe, that's right. Ever since they got engaged, Xiao Fei has been treating Chen Jin's salary as his own.
After Chen Jin moved into the house, Xiao Fei no longer wanted to buy a house.
Xiao Fei felt that living at home was still the most comfortable. Every day when he came home, he didn't have to do anything. His mother cooked for him and did his laundry. He could spend the money he earned however he wanted and buy whatever he wanted. Buying a house was long forgotten.
Chen Jin, however, did not feel that she was living in a very oppressive environment. On the one hand, she had to pay attention to her words and actions, and had to help with housework from time to time, and was occasionally disliked by Xiao's mother. On the other hand, she often had to spend money to help support the family.
In the words of the Xiao family, "You eat and live here, and we don't ask you to pay rent or food expenses. What's wrong with buying some vegetables and meat occasionally?"
So Chen Jin was very unhappy. However, since she had moved into the Xiao family, many people already regarded her as a daughter-in-law of the Xiao family. Chen Jin felt that even if she broke up with Xiao Fei, her reputation would be ruined.
Therefore, Chen Jin often told Xiao Fei that she wanted to buy a house and move out. After hearing it so many times, Xiao Fei got annoyed and gradually developed more and more complaints about Chen Jin.
Furthermore, Zhang Chenjun treated him gently, and gradually, the scales in Xiao Fei's heart began to tip...
After getting off work, Shen Yanming picked up Bi Qiaoan in his car. The two took a detour to eat roast duck before returning home.
“Let’s eat out from now on, and order two portions every time. Hehe, we can store a lot!” Bi Qiaoan joked with Shen Yanming while sitting on the sofa and rubbing her belly.
"Sure, I haven't prepared much food before. What do you want to eat tomorrow? Let's go together."
"Hmm, let me think about it. How about we go out for Western food tomorrow? It's only just started raining. After a while, there will be even fewer people on the streets, and then we won't have to queue to buy anything."
"Mmm!" Shen Yanming looked at Bi Qiaoan with a gentle and doting smile.
Over the next few days, the rain grew heavier and heavier. The first day was a drizzle, the second day a light rain, the third day a moderate rain, and the fourth day a heavy rain. Fewer and fewer pedestrians were on the streets, and gradually only those who needed to go to work remained.
The rain was heavy, and many areas have issued flood warnings. Haishi city proper is located at a higher elevation, and its drainage system is relatively good, so the first week of rain in Haishi has been relatively stable.
On this day, Shen Yanming received an invitation to the engagement ceremony of his former business partner's son.
"Are you going?" Bi Qiaoan asked, flipping through the exquisite cards.
"Go! You come with me."
Bi Qiaoan nodded. "Brother Yanming, you're not even in the business world anymore, so why are people still sending you invitations?"
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "The groom at the engagement ceremony is my college classmate. We have a pretty good relationship."
When the day arrived, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan set off wearing matching black wool coats. Upon arriving at the hotel's underground parking lot, they immediately took off their coats and put them in the car.
The hotel temperature was set very high, at 25 degrees Celsius. Shen Yanming was wearing a dark blue suit, while Bi Qiaoan wore a beige long-sleeved lace dress with dark blue satin embellishments at the waist, neckline, and cuffs, which complemented Shen Yanming's suit.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. Thank you all very much for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the engagement ceremony of Mr. Lin Yongke and Ms. Wei Yun..."
The emcee was hosting the engagement ceremony on stage, but Chen Yanming's expression below the stage was not good.
Although his relationship with Lin Yongke was not as close as with Zhang Heping and the others, Shen Yanming was still unwilling for his friend to be harmed by such a vicious woman.
However, Shen Yanming had no right to interrupt the engagement ceremony that night, and could only sigh in his heart, "Everyone has their own destiny."
"Brother Yanming, that girl is so pretty!" Bi Qiaoan looked at Wei Yun with sparkling eyes.
"Not as good-looking as you!" Shen Yanming said without thinking.
"Hehe, look at them, they actually look like a couple. The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. Look how well they match in the wedding photos on the big screen!"
"We look more like a married couple than each other!"
Bi Qiaoan...
After the newlyweds finished their ceremony on stage, they came down to thank the guests.
Tonight's guests are all well-known figures in the Haishi business district. Everyone tacitly understands that while attending the engagement ceremony, they are also taking the opportunity to build relationships and do business.
Shen Yanming was pulled aside to chat with his former business partners, while Bi Qiaoan enjoyed red wine and desserts on the side.
Suddenly, a glass of red wine spilled onto Bi Qiaoan's dress.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to," the waitress kept apologizing to Bi Qiaoan.
The commotion was quite loud, and Shen Yanming saw it too, so he quickly came over and asked, "What's going on?"
"It's nothing, she just accidentally spilled some red wine on me." Bi Qiaoan smiled at Shen Yanming. "It was probably because there were so many people around today."
"Madam, I'm so sorry, let me take you to change your clothes! Do you have any spare clothes with you? If not, the hotel has some spare clothes you can change into."
"good!"
Bi Qiaoan is not a person with a bad temper, and she felt there was no need to hold a grudge against others.
"I'll go with you?" Shen Yanming wasn't entirely at ease because Wei Yun was the one getting engaged.
Shen Yanming's face was full of worry. Bi Qiaoan suddenly realized, could there be a conspiracy?
Bi Qiaoan winked at Shen Yanming, "It's okay, I'll go to the rest room with her and wait. You can go get my clothes from the car for me."
Shen Yanming nodded. "Be careful and wait for me obediently."
Shen Yanming also wanted to know if the glass of red wine was an accident, so he decided to go along with their wishes and continue.
