After that dream, she couldn't sleep all night and went out early in the morning with dark circles under her eyes. Ye Jianran and the others were really shocked when they saw her.
"Damn, lady, did you go steal a cow last night?" Those panda eyes are so obvious, you obviously didn't get any rest.
Shen Shiyi rolled her eyes at them and continued walking forward, ignoring their shouts from behind.
"Hey, what do you think she's up to?"
On the other side, Shen Shiyi came out of the military region after finishing a meeting, and at that moment the phone under her military uniform rang.
Shen Shiyi frowned slightly. An unfamiliar number?
"Hello!" There was a moment of stunned silence when she heard who was calling.
"Hello!" came the voice on the other end of the phone.
An hour later, a woman dressed in camouflage entered the coffee shop.
Her heroic and spirited appearance drew frequent glances from customers in the store; she was a stunningly beautiful female soldier.
The woman who entered looked around, her beautiful and bright eyes finally settling on a spot by the window.
"Chairman Ji, hello!" I didn't expect that after so many years, Yunfeng's mother is still so young, looking like she is in her 30s despite being over 50 years old.
With her perfect figure, exquisite makeup, and appropriate clothing, she looks every bit the pampered lady.
At this moment, the woman who had been looking out the window turned to her and smiled slightly, "Please sit down!"
As Shen Shiyi sat down, the woman in front of her stared at him without any restraint, showing no sign of annoyance.
So many years have passed, and it's not just my temperament that has changed; my personality and fashion sense have also changed. Well, people never stay the same forever.
"Coffee or juice?" She had seen this girl a few times. She was only seventeen or eighteen years old then, in the prime of her youth. If there hadn't been a story that followed, would the ending have been different?
"Coffee, thank you!" After watching the waiter leave, he sat up straight and turned his gaze to the elegant lady opposite him.
Mother Ji put down her soup spoon and looked at her with a serious smile. "We're all smart people, so I'll get straight to the point. Have you met Yunfeng?" She had heard him call out "Bing'er" when her son was drunk last time.
"Um."
"I want you to leave him." And indeed you did.
Shen Shiyi sat quietly in her seat, waiting for the person opposite her to finish speaking.
"As you know, the Ji family is a prestigious family in high society. A daughter-in-law of the Ji family must be a lady from a respectable family. If you hadn't done those things before, I might have considered it, but I'm sorry, I want you to leave my son."
She knew how cruel these words were to a woman, but she was the daughter-in-law of the Ji family, the mistress of the Ji family, and she had to think about the Ji family at all times.
After a moment of silence, Shen Shiyi raised her eyes. "We were never together, so how can we talk about leaving? Please rest assured, Madam, after experiencing so much, I have long since let go of the past and have no such intention." She was referring to remarriage.
Having received a satisfactory answer, Ji's mother left happily.
In the huge coffee shop, she felt like an unwanted person.
Walking on a once-familiar road, everything feels so strange. Memories surge like waves, but they are all in the past.
"Ring ring ring." She muttered irritably, "Who is that?"
...
She was startled when she saw the caller ID on her phone. It was him, Yunfeng.
Suddenly, I realized that after leaving my son, the lady of the Ji family needs is a lady from a prestigious family...
Remembering what Ji's mother had said, Shen Shiyi answered the phone in a cold tone, "Hello."
Ji Yunfeng, in his office, sensed the coldness on the other end of the phone and felt a little strange, but didn't think much of it.
"Bing'er, are you free tonight? A new Western restaurant just opened in the south of the city, shall we go for dinner?"
There was no response on the other end of the phone for a long time. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Shiyi spoke up.
"I've been quite busy at the military base lately." The implication was that he didn't have time.
Ji Yunfeng ended the call in disappointment.
At that moment, a sudden downpour began on the street where Shen Shiyi was, soaking her to the bone. She was almost overjoyed.
Why did this rain start so suddenly, without any warning? Could it be that I was just lost in thought?
The woman, hiding under the eaves of the storefront, shook her head, trying to clear her mind.
It started raining suddenly, and it looked like it was going to rain for a while. We wouldn't be able to leave anytime soon, so we decided to find a place to rest.
Her gaze swept around, and finally a bookstore on the left caught her attention.
It feels like an eternity since I last visited a bookstore.
Audrey Hepburn?
...
An hour or two had passed without her noticing. Just as she was about to stretch, a woman accidentally bumped into her, causing the book in her hand to fall to the ground.
"Excuse me, did I hurt you?" The woman who spoke was dressed elegantly and spoke in a gentle tone, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
Shen Shiyi smiled and said, "It's alright."
They picked up the book from the ground, but to their surprise, they both bent down to pick it up, and in the end, the other person picked it up.
The elegant lady across from me looked at the book in her hands and smiled gracefully.
"You like reading Audrey Hepburn?" She really likes this book.
"Luckily, it's raining outside, and I can't leave for a while, so I just came in to check." I wonder if the rain has stopped?
Only then did the woman realize that the person opposite her was dressed in military green civilian clothes, and she asked in surprise.
"Is the young lady a soldier?" I suddenly remembered her son.
Shen Shiyi was a little surprised for a moment, then looked at herself and realized what was going on.
"Yes."
“My son is also a soldier. By the way, is your unit usually very busy?” Her son hasn’t been home for a while.
"fine."
"Sigh, my son is practically someone else's son now. He doesn't come home even once a year." A mother is always worried about her child suffering away from home, especially a son who is a soldier. She can't help but feel anxious every day.
