Chapter 31 How Can I Be a Widow?
Jiang Ruyun thought she was just embarrassed and said to herself, "What's the big deal? It's a good thing that someone likes you. The key is that they don't mind that you're divorced and have children. You two are a talented man and a beautiful woman, and you look a good match..."
"Wait." Li Zhi quickly raised her hand to stop him. "Mom, how did you know Zhou Du likes me?"
"If he doesn't like you, why does he come to see you every day?" Jiang Ruyun said, "Yesterday he brought you medicinal soup, and today he brought you these expensive supplements."
Li Zhi turned around and put down the water cup. Of course, she couldn't tell her that Zhou Du liked the same sex. "Mom, you think too much. We are just friends. He doesn't like me, and I don't like him. It's that simple."
"Really?" Jiang Ruyun asked.
Li Zhi nodded, "Really!"
She paused and continued, "Even if he likes me, would the Zhou family let their son be with a woman whose husband has died and who has a five-year-old son?"
Jiang Ruyun was naturally aware of this, and she took her hand and patted it gently, "Then dating is fine, and we don't have to get married. Are you planning to never date or get married again?"
"How could that be? We haven't met him yet." Li Zhi said.
Jiang Ruyun couldn't help but feel relieved when she heard her say that. "That's fine. I was worried that you would stay with your deceased ex-husband for the rest of your life."
Li Zhi couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. "Mom, you think too highly of me. How could I possibly stay a widow for him? What era is this? Are you still thinking it's ancient times?"
"I'm just afraid that you'll be stupid and fall in love with me too deeply." Jiang Ruyun said.
"No, don't worry, I have forgotten him long ago." Li Zhi said.
Jiang Ruyun patted her, then turned to look at Li Yanjing, who was playing with his phone on the sofa, and whispered, "Don't say that in front of Yanjing again. After all, he's his biological father, so he must still have feelings for him."
Li Zhi held her hand in return, "Mom, don't worry about this. Yan Jing's father died before he was born, so he has no feelings for her at all."
Li Yanjing paused playing with his phone, looked up at the mother and daughter who were talking, and interrupted, "Yes, grandma, I have no feelings for that person at all. I have never met him."
“…”
Jiang Ruyun suddenly felt a little sympathy for Li Zhi's ex-husband. Not only was he dead, but he had never even seen his own son.
She thought that now was the perfect time to bring this up, so she might as well ask directly, "Zhizhi, how did your ex-husband die?"
"Oh, it was really unlucky. He was struck by lightning while walking on the road." Li Zhi said seriously.
Li Yanjing couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard that. He found that what she said was always on the point that he could never have expected.
If you want to make up a reason for death, you have to make up such a bizarre way of death.
"This..." Jiang Ruyun looked at Li Zhi, then at Li Yanjing, not knowing what to say for a moment. After a long pause, she finally said, "That's really unlucky."
"I can't help it, that's my fate." Li Zhi smiled slightly. "It's also possible that he did something wrong to me, and God couldn't bear to see it anymore, so he personally took action to end him for me."
Jiang Ruyun couldn't help but be led astray by her, "No way... Could it be that he cheated on you while you were pregnant?"
Li Zhi raised an eyebrow, "It's not impossible."
Jiang Ruyun waved her hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. He's dead anyway. It has nothing to do with us anymore. Let's not talk about him anymore."
"Okay." Li Zhi responded.

Xilan Club.
"Brother Ting, what's wrong? You're sneezing. Is some beautiful girl thinking about you?" Pei Yuanzhi joked with a smile.
Xie Tingzhou held a half-burned cigarette between his slender fingers, and raised his lazy, half-closed eyes slightly to look at him, "Curse me more or less."
"Who dares to curse you? There must be a beautiful woman thinking of you." Pei Yuanzhi closed his eyes, rubbed his fingers again, and said in a serious tone: "Wait, let me calculate it for you..."
"Brother Ting, I calculated with my fingers that your peach blossom is about to come!"
Xie Tingzhou retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Stop looking at those irrelevant things."
Pei Yuanzhi opened his eyes and sighed softly, "Brother Ting, you don't understand the secrets of this metaphysics."
"Secret?" Xie Tingzhou raised his eyebrows, his eyes sharp. "Are you talking about lying?"
"What are you talking about? It's because you have never seen a truly capable master." Pei Yuanzhi retorted.
"Have you seen it?" Xie Tingzhou asked.
"You know what, I actually got a master today. It's amazing."
Pei Yuanzhi took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the note, and clicked on his follow list.
He pointed at the account at the top called 'Master Li'. "That's Master Li. I clicked into her livestream and saw the man on the other end of the video call pull out the talisman she'd given him. It automatically stuck to the tree. A flash of golden light appeared, and the once lush tree instantly turned into a pitch-black, withered tree!"
Xie Tingzhou never believed in these things. "It's just a trick."
"At first, I thought it was just an actor she hired to create some kind of livestream effect, but there were two or three thousand people watching her livestream, and almost all of the comments were praising her amazingness. Those people must have been watching her for a long time, which shows she must have real talent!"
"Are you sure those people weren't her shills, hired to create atmosphere and set the tone so that an idiot like you would believe it?" Xie Tingzhou said slowly.
“…”
Pei Yuanzhi rubbed his chin with one hand. "That can't be right. There are so many people in her live broadcast room, and a lot of people are giving her gifts. They can't all be agents, right?"
Xie Tingzhou said nothing.
Pei Yuanzhi slapped his thigh and said, "I've decided. When she gets off the live broadcast, I'll go give her a gift and ask her to do my fortune telling. If she's right, then it means she's a true master and not just playing tricks!"
Xie Tingzhou leaned over and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, his beautiful eyes half-closed. "It's up to you."
"Don't follow me, Brother Ting, how about we make a bet?" Pei Yuanzhi said.
Xie Tingzhou reached out and picked up the suit jacket that was draped over the armrest of the sofa. "No fight."
Pei Yuanzhi stood up upon seeing this and said, "Oh, no, Brother Ting, how long have you been here? Why are you leaving already?"
Xie Tingzhou glanced at him and said, "I'm sleepy. Go back to sleep."
"Okay." Pei Yuanzhi said.
Xie Tingzhou nodded, then walked out of the box.
Pei Yuanzhi glanced at his leaving figure, retracted his gaze, and was about to send a message to ask others to come out for a drink, but when his eyes fell on the account of "Master Li", he suddenly stopped.
After thinking for a few seconds, he didn't want to wait until the next broadcast, so he tapped the screen of his mobile phone quickly and sent a private message to Master Li.
[Master Li, are you there? ]
