Shen Muzhi drove Xiang Zhilan to her apartment building. As she was about to open the car door and get out, he asked, "What have you thought about what I mentioned last night?"
Xiang Zhilan glanced back at Shen Muzhi, much calmer than last night. She sighed softly and said, "Shen Muzhi, this is pointless. If you really want to atone for your sins, then stay away from my life from now on and let me forget everything. That's the best thing for me, do you understand?"
Shen Mu's eyes lowered slightly, and his grip on the steering wheel tightened.
How could he not understand Xiang Zhilan's meaning? He was a nightmare to her, and she didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
But now he's a little confused about what he should do. Before, he had reasons and excuses for not wanting her to stay by Feng Jingxian's side because he knew Feng Jingxian wasn't a good person. Now that she has seen through Feng Jingxian's true colors, her life can get back on track.
Logically, given the unpleasant memories he gave her, he should have distanced himself from her life as she wished, but he didn't want it to end like that.
Seeing that he was silent, Xiang Zhilan opened the car door, got out, and walked into the residential area.
Just as Xiang's mother returned from her morning exercise, she saw Xiang Zhilan getting out of a black Maserati from afar, and she walked closer in puzzlement.
Shen Muzhi started the car and drove away. Although Xiang's mother couldn't see the man's face clearly in the driver's seat, she was certain that this person was not Feng Jingxian.
She frowned, pondered for a moment, and then walked inside.
When she got home, she saw Xiang Zhilan tinkering in the kitchen. Xiang's mother went over and tentatively asked, "Did you come back without having breakfast at your friend's?"
Xiang Zhilan lowered her head, not daring to look at her mother, and gave a vague reply.
Xiang's mother didn't say anything more, turned around and left the kitchen.
Xiang Zhilan made the hot and sour noodles and took them to the dining table to eat.
She felt hungry on her way back, so she made a big bowl of hot and sour noodles and ate it all in one go.
After finishing her meal, she went into the kitchen to wash the dishes and then prepared to go back to her room.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard Xiang's mother, who was sitting in the living room, say, "Lanlan, come here, I want to talk to you."
Xiang Zhilan turned around and walked to the sofa to sit down. Seeing that her mother was sitting upright and looking serious, she thought that her mother knew about her plan to go to Syria. She lowered her eyes nervously and guiltily.
But these words had a different meaning in Xiang Ma's eyes. She sighed and said, "Lanlan, is there something wrong between you and Jingxian? He's been coming to see you a lot lately, but you're avoiding him."
Hearing this question, Xiang Zhilan breathed a sigh of relief. She had been wanting to tell her mother about it anyway, so she said, "Feng Jingxian and I have broken up."
Xiang Ma's heart skipped a beat. "Is it because of that man?"
"What man?" Xiang Zhilan asked, puzzled.
"Don't lie to your mother. I saw it all just now. It was that man who brought you back." Xiang's mother sat closer to Xiang Zhilan and took her hand. "Zhilan, I know you young people put love above all else, but you also need to be careful not to cross the line with two men at the same time..."
"Mom, what are you saying?" Xiang Zhilan frowned. She finally understood what her mother had misunderstood and explained seriously, "That man and I are not in the kind of relationship you think we have, and we will never be in that kind of relationship. I am not two-timing. I broke up with Feng Jingxian because he is not a good person."
