Chapter 96 I would like to hear the details

Jiang Minzhi remained silent.

Knowing that she would not easily tell the truth, Shang Yanci said bluntly: "You and your father-in-law divorced when Ningning was four years old. According to the recording, Xu Han did not interfere in this marriage before you two divorced. Maybe she played some tricks, after all, she had the convenience of the secretary position, but it was not enough to constitute the main reason for your divorce."

Jiang Xuanzhi said calmly: "The past is gone, it is meaningless."

"It makes sense." Shang Yanci looked at her and said seriously, "My wife is still trapped in that childhood dream."

That evening, when he got home from work, he saw Pei Yuning lying on the sofa, crying helplessly with her hands on her neck.

At that time, he thought she just had a nightmare and would be fine after waking up. After listening to Pei Yunzhi's words that night, he realized that it was not a nightmare, but a scar that would not heal for many years.

Jiang Xuanzhi pinched the fingers on her legs hard. Frame after frame of past events flashed before her eyes rapidly. Her head ached and she began to cry unconsciously.

Shang Yanci handed her a handkerchief and said, "I'm sorry."

Jiang Xinzhi's body began to tremble. When he stood up by holding on to the table, he accidentally knocked the teacup off. The sound of the broken porcelain hurt his eardrums, and the floor was wet with tea.

Li Yanqing heard the sound and immediately walked into the living room. Seeing the fragments under Jiang Xinzhi's feet, he gently soothed her, "Xinzhi, stop there, don't move, look up at me."

Jiang Xuanzhi raised his eyes and looked at him, tears welling up in his eyes, and he was at a loss.

Li Yanqing walked quickly to her, picked her up by the waist, moved her away from the teacup fragments on the ground, turned to look at Shang Yanci, and silently lip-synched: Wait for me.

Shang Yanci nodded slightly and watched Li Yanqing holding Jiang Xuanzhi and walking upstairs.

An hour later, Li Yanqing came down from upstairs with a thick stack of white paper in his hand and handed it to Shang Yanci.

Shang Yanci took it and looked through it. It contained Jiang Xuanzhi's medical records over the years, including bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder and depression, which went from mild to moderate, and then from moderate to severe. There were a few years in between when his condition returned to mild, but the good times did not last long and he is still in severe condition.

Shang Yanci closed the medical record and said, "I'm sorry, I was inappropriate in my words just now."

Li Yanqing sighed softly: "Since she doesn't want to say it, let me say it."

Shang Yanci: "I would like to hear the details."

Li Yanqing glanced at the wedding ring on her ring finger, looking self-blaming, and lost in memory: "Xinzhi and I were each other's first love. After we graduated from college, we started planning our wedding, but her family found out and locked her up."

"She is the daughter of the Jiang family, and I am just a poor student. Her family may turn a blind eye to our romance, but marriage is different." Li Yanqing whispered, "Knowing that her parents died early, she was raised by her grandmother and aunt. Her aunt has no daughters, and she cannot resist the fate of marrying into a wealthy family."

Li Yanqing: "Of course she didn't want to, but at that time, her grandmother was already terminally ill. Her uncle said that if she didn't marry into the Pei family, he would stop her grandmother's medicine. She had no choice, so she broke up with me. She said she was sorry and asked me not to blame her. How could I bear to blame her? I only hated myself for not being able to help her at all."

Li Yanqing: "After some inquiries, I found out about Pei Jinyan's family background and character. The Pei family has a strict family tradition and monogamy. He himself is a humble gentleman. I thought that even if this is a marriage without feelings, it would be good to be able to respect each other, so I left Beijing and went to France to study."

His fingers trembled slightly as he picked up the cold tea on the table and took a sip. He was silent for a moment and then continued, "I met Xinzhi again in France a year after she got divorced. In that year, she attempted suicide seven times. The doctor said that she had completely lost the desire to live. Perhaps death was her only relief."

Shang Yanci handed Jiang Xuanzhi the handkerchief that he had not accepted.

Li Yanqing took the handkerchief and choked up, "I don't know how she became like that. She used to be very cheerful and lively, optimistic and fresh. She didn't look like someone who would suffer from depression. Later, when she was unconscious, she would tell me a lot of things in the past. These things she never mentioned when she was sober."

"Based on those vague fragments of words, I gradually pieced together the truth of the year." Li Yanqing coughed a few times and continued, "The day before Yanzhi was born, Xinzhi's grandmother passed away. She was so grief-stricken that she almost died of dystocia. When she was pregnant with Ningning, she noticed that there was a woman with whom Pei Jinyan had a close relationship. When she got married, she was ready to face this day, so she didn't take it seriously."

Li Yanqing: "In the same year, her best friend fell in love with her husband through an arranged marriage, but the man was so affectionate that he could not only have her in his heart. In the end, she chose to commit suicide, and rescue efforts were ineffective."

Li Yanqing: "During her two pregnancies, she lost the two most important people. She said that as soon as she saw the two children, she couldn't help but think of her grandmother and best friend, so she didn't want to get close to her own children."

Li Yanqing sighed, "What she talked about most was what happened when Ningning was four years old. She was worried that Ningning would also be married off in the future. She resented Ningning for not being a boy, and even more resented herself for giving birth to her. It was only after she pinched Ningning's neck that she realized that she seemed to have a serious illness. So she asked Pei Jinyan for a divorce. She felt that the two children might live a better life if they were away from her."

After listening to Li Yanqing's words, Shang Yanci couldn't help but sigh that life is unpredictable. Although everyone had their own sufferings, he had no right to forgive Pei Yuning.

Before leaving the villa, he sent Li Yanqing a photo of himself and Pei Yuning taken under the acacia tree and asked him to convey it to Jiang Minzhi.

Yuhua Mingyuan.

Pei Yuning washed and took care of her skin early tonight. Her cell phone was fully charged, and she lay on the bed waiting for Shang Yanci to call her on video and coax her to sleep.

After waiting for a long time, Shang Yanci didn't call. Pei Yuning was too bored, so he got up and went to the study to find a book to read.

I leaned against the head of the bed and read a few pages, and the words in the book always involuntarily turned into the name of Shang Yanci.

Reluctantly closing the book, she lay down on the bed and calculated the time difference between the two places. It was now past two o'clock in the afternoon in France, which was the perfect time to work.

Will he not have time to coax her to sleep? If he really doesn't coax her, she will definitely be angry, and she will be angry that he can't coax her!

The next moment——

Ayan invites you to a video call...

Pei Yuning picked up the phone instantly and was about to answer it when his finger stopped touching the screen. He counted for ten seconds in his mind and connected the video.

At this moment, it was afternoon in France and the sun was bright and sunny. Shang Yanci's face was illuminated by the warm sunlight on one side and the cool office light on the other side. One of his amber eyes was like clear and bright glass, and the other was like the bottomless sea.

He was wearing a well-tailored dark-colored suit without a tie, and the top two buttons of his clean white shirt were undone, with bright red kiss marks clearly visible. He looked like a lazy, casual and elegant gentleman, and it was easy to fall in love with him.

Shang Yanci looked at the pure and innocent Pei Yuning on the screen. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, the curve was elegant and beautiful, and her low and mellow voice was tender and pleasant. She asked slowly: "Baby, do you miss me?"
