I'll give you three days to return to City B.
In Licheng, when the romantic orange sunset shone on the window lattice of the bed and breakfast halfway up the mountain, Chen Nanxing finally woke up from her sleep. To be precise, she was woken up by a stomachache.
The persistent dull pain in the upper left abdomen made Chen Nanxing curl up, just like a little animal that had lost its mother's protection and was surviving alone in the cruel nature. His weakness and helplessness made everyone who saw him feel pity.
After his body got used to the pain, Chen Nanxing got out of bed, took out two painkillers from his suitcase and swallowed them with cold water. Cold sweat soaked his pajamas. The painkillers worked and the pain in his abdomen was finally temporarily relieved. Chen Nanxing couldn't bear it any longer and walked into the bathroom.
Before going to the bathroom, she did not forget to open the window to allow the air inside and outside to circulate.
She arrived in Licheng at four o'clock this morning. As soon as she got off the plane, the owner of the B&B took her to the B&B, cleaned up the mess, and went to bed at nearly six o'clock.
She randomly booked a B&B before boarding the plane. She found a B&B facing the Lehigh Sea with only three bedrooms.
There are fewer guests in the B&B, so it is quiet, but the corresponding fees are also higher.
Over the years, although Lin Shanglu's heart was no longer with her, they were husband and wife, and she had a legitimate right to enjoy their joint property. Even if they divorced, she would take half of Lin Shanglu's property.
After coming out of the bathroom, Chen Nanxing felt that the pain caused by stomach cancer was much relieved.
Maybe the physical pain was relieved, or maybe the aroma of food wafted through the window and filled the entire room. In short, Chen Nanxing was hungry.
The B&B actually provides three meals a day, but she slept so soundly that she missed lunch time long ago. However, it was not a big problem. After sleeping for a whole day, she could just go out for a walk.
In the evening, fishing lights were twinkling on the surface of the Lihai Sea. Chen Nanxing changed his clothes and went out.
Maybe there were not many people staying in the B&B, so Chen Nanxing wandered around for a long time without seeing anyone. After walking for a few more minutes, he saw a woman in the backyard.
The woman was fiddling with the flowers on the table with one hand, and holding her cell phone with the other, smiling sweetly as she made a video call with someone.
Chen Nanxing didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on other people's phone calls. He paused and tried to sneak away, but when he turned around, he accidentally bumped into a decorative lantern.
The noise wasn't loud, but the woman on the phone still felt it and tilted her head to look over here.
Chen Nanxing was embarrassed and glanced at the woman in panic. It was this glance that stopped her from leaving.
Impossible? The dead are resurrected?
Although Chen Nanxing was born in a backward and poor mountain village, she is an out-and-out atheist.
Then how do you explain the resurrection of the dead? !
In order to dispel his inner doubts, Chen Nanxing took out his mobile phone without hesitation and planned to take a photo and compare it in his room.
"Hello, I don't accept taking photos. Please delete the photos."
As soon as he took action, he was caught on the spot. Chen Nanxing's face turned red. Qin Enyu had already hung up the phone and walked towards Chen Nanxing while talking.
"I'm sorry, you look like someone, I..."
Chen Nanxing felt embarrassed. Under Qin Enyu's smiling gaze, he deleted the photo he had just taken and then searched through the album as if to make up for it.
Her fingers were sore from flipping through the pages when she finally found the photo of the oil painting she had taken at an art exhibition several years ago.
Chen Nanxing raised his phone in front of Qin Enyu to prove himself:
"I'm so sorry, you look so much like her."
Qin Enyu looked closely and saw that the painting showed a girl resting with her eyes closed on a swing covered with climbing red roses.
A sense of familiarity suddenly came to my mind, and the process of creating this painting was also remembered.
It wasn’t a very happy memory. Qin Enyu blinked and pulled herself away from that memory.
Because she has not had plastic surgery, such incidents of being recognized are very common. As the number of such incidents increases, Qin Enyu becomes more adept at handling them.
She instantly became a dramatic figure, holding Chen Nanxing's phone with her backhand, her face pressed against the side of the phone, and pointing her finger at the oil painting on the phone, she chattered non-stop:
"I know this painting was created by the Third Young Master Qin of the Qin family of Boyuan Group. The prototype was his cousin of that fake daughter, Qin Enyu. She used to act in movies and TV series, but unfortunately, she died in a plane crash before she was twenty. She has not been seen since."
Speaking of this, Qin Enyu's eyes were filled with grief and regret, and Chen Nanxing also sighed.
But this atmosphere of grief hadn't lasted a minute before Qin Enyu's expression changed. She clicked into her phone album, pulled out the still that she often used to present evidence, and placed it in front of Chen Nanxing:
"Speaking of the movies and TV series she acted in, have you seen them?"
Chen Nanxing used to be very busy and had no time to watch TV series. Later, when her conditions improved, she traveled around the world with Lin Shanglu. There were many ways to entertain herself, and she didn't have to spend her time watching TV series. Naturally, she was not familiar with these celebrity singers.
At this moment, she looked at the large words "Twin Cities" on the stills poster and the face on it that looked exactly like the person in front of her, and shook her head honestly:
"No."
If not, then it doesn't matter what she says.
Qin Enyu disregarded his reputation as something other than his own, and began to boast:
"When she first appeared, I was stunned by her beauty! The next day, I decided to get plastic surgery to look like her. My friends said I looked so much like her that the chances of success were very high. Over the years, I've had hundreds of minor adjustments, and people have always mistaken me for her. It seems I'm quite successful!"
You are just one person, how can you not succeed?
The naive Chen Nanxing was played around by Qin Enyu. He carefully compared the photo with himself and really couldn't find any difference.
"They are very similar. If you look closely, you can't tell the difference."
"Uncle Chu, there!"
"I know what you mean."
Qin Enyu was talking so eloquently that she completely forgot about her daughter who was sleeping in her room. Fortunately, Jiang Shiyu had been independent since childhood. When he woke up and didn't see his mother, he didn't cry or make a fuss. He climbed out of bed with a grunt and strolled to find his mother.
After searching for a long time, they couldn't find their mother, but they found Chu Zhenghe who was also wandering outside. So they formed a small team to look for Qin Enyu.
Chen Nanxing looked over and saw a man holding a little girl walking towards him. The little girl looked 50% similar to the woman in front of him, but there was no resemblance between her and the man holding her.
Qin Enyu looked at her inquiring gaze and realized belatedly that the two of them had been standing there for a long time without introducing themselves. She extended a hand of friendship:
"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jiang Zhixu, and I'm the owner of this B&B."
Chen Nanxing returned the handshake: "Hello, Chen Nanxing."
Their palms touched and then separated immediately. Qin Enyu raised an eyebrow. Is their sense of boundaries so strong?
After getting a preliminary understanding of Chen Nanxing, Qin Enyu turned his head and introduced the two people over there, one big and one small:
"One of them is my daughter Jiang Shiyu, nicknamed Yiyi, and the other is Chu Zhenghe, a tenant here."
It’s actually a daughter?
When Chen Nanxing saw that Jiang Shiyu and Qin Enyu looked exactly the same, he knew that they were related by blood, but he didn't expect that they were actually mother and daughter.
After all, she had seen a lot of things. After a second of shock, her face quickly returned to normal.
"Miss Jiang looks so young, I never thought she already has a child this big."
It’s not that Chen Nanxing deliberately went to meet Qin Enyu, but she really didn’t expect that the woman in front of her, who looked only in her early twenties, would get married so early and have such a big child.
Qin Enyu did not comment, smiled and said:
"Mr. Chu will be hosting a small barbecue party in the backyard tonight. If Miss Chen is interested, you can come and have a look."
Chen Nanxing smiled and nodded. She had a gentle appearance and long, straight hair. Her smile made her look even softer. The pickup gene in Qin Enyu's genes awakened again at that moment.
She took a freshly bloomed gardenia from the table beside her and handed it to Chen Nanxing:
"She is as beautiful as a peach and a plum, but it's a pity that Xiao Ji sent her gardenias today, otherwise she would be a better match for Miss Chen."
The sudden approach of gardenias brought a stronger fragrance that was unique to her. After several years of being a housewife, Chen Nanxing had lost her social circle. She had not come into contact with Qin Enyu, who had an overly cheerful and social personality, for a long time.
This sudden incident made her a little flustered.
Qin Enyu suddenly blinked and gave Chen Nanxing a wink unexpectedly. The playful expression formed an extreme contrast with her beautiful face, and Chen Nanxing laughed.
The gardenia that Qin Enyu had brought as a gift to Buddha was also taken away by her, and her long branch was broken off and pinned behind her ear.
Having successfully picked up the girl, Qin Enyu walked towards the two people who were waiting anxiously with satisfaction.
Chen Nanxing still went to the barbecue party in the evening, during which he had a pleasant conversation with Qin Enyu and laid the foundation for the Friendship Building.
Not only that, with her beautiful appearance, gentle personality, and superb cooking skills, she successfully captured the heart of Jiang Shiyu. When the dinner was over, Jiang Shiyu sincerely invited Chen Nanxing to sleep with her.
Sons resemble their fathers, daughters resemble their mothers. Chen Nanxing herself doesn’t have children, so she couldn’t understand this sentence before, but today she completely understands it.
Although Jiang Shiyu is only three years old, she has inherited her mother's personality. She is even more socially adept than Qin Enyu. Her excessive enthusiasm makes Chen Nanxing, a slow-warm socially anxious person, very embarrassed.
Of course, Jiang Shiyu was finally taken into the arms of her best friend Uncle Chu at the signal of her dear old mother.
The backs of the two adults and one child gradually walked away, and Chen Nanxing turned and walked into a gravel road on the side.
The gravel road was hidden in the hazy moonlight, as if the noise just now was just a dream that Chen Nanxing had experienced. The tranquility after the bustle made Chen Nanxing feel lonely as if she was the only one left in the world.
Thinking of this, Chen Nanxing smiled sadly. She gathered the woolen shawl on her shoulders to see what she was talking in her sleep.
It was obvious that she was abandoned by the whole world, but when she said it, it sounded as if she had given up the whole world.
Apart from Lin Shanglu, who will soon become her ex-husband, there is no one else in this world who is related to her.
The hazy night and the loss after the revelry always evoke bad emotions in people. Chen Nanxing doesn't like such a depressed mood, nor does she like herself complaining about herself. She must take some action to cut off this terrible sense of nothingness.
And now the most direct and fastest way is to dispel this damn hazy feeling!
Chen Nanxing decisively took out his cell phone and prepared to turn on the flashlight to physically disperse the crowd, but unexpectedly saw a call from Lin Shanglu's private number.
Chen Nanxing is not someone who can't let go. From the moment she stepped on the plane to Licheng, Chen Nanxing would never look back in this life, but the divorce procedure has not been completed, and her half of the property has not been divided out, and she needs that property, so she still answered Lin Shanglu's call.
"Hello."
"Where are you now?!"
The call finally got through, and Chen Nanxing's uniquely gentle voice reached his ears from the other end of the line. Lin Shanglu's impatience was immediately soothed, and then followed by anger at Chen Nanxing for leaving without saying goodbye:
"I don't care where you are now. I'll give you three days to return to City B! In three days, I want to see you at Yongjing Mansion! Do you hear me?"
So he has always been bossing her around like this?
Chen Nanxing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her almond-shaped eyes.
After not hearing a reply for a long time, Lin Shanglu thought Chen Nanxing had hung up the phone. He looked away and found that the call was still going on. He put the phone back to his ear unhappily.
"Hello?"
Chen Nanxing entered the door code with one hand, his pale face showing an indistinct expression:
"Are you awake now?"
"What?"
He drank a lot of wine tonight and his body was already slightly tipsy, but his brain was clearer than usual under the influence of alcohol. In other words, Lin Shanglu was very sober at this time.
He leaned back on the sofa, not understanding what Chen Nanxing meant.
But Chen Nanxing soon made him understand.
"Please look at the divorce agreement on the table while you're awake. If there are no problems, just sign it and we can start the process."
