From the day Shen Xiangnan and Yang Lizhen divorced, Shen Mingzhu knew that Yang Lizhen would definitely regret it and would seek reconciliation with Shen Xiangnan.

On the first day Shen Xiangnan entered the city, Shen Mingzhu repeatedly reminded Shen Xiangnan that if Yang Lizhen came to see him, no matter what Yang Lizhen said, he should not agree and should come to her as soon as possible.

"Second brother, what do you think?"

Shen Xiangnan buried his head and replied in a muffled voice, "Little sister, I don't want to remarry Li Zhen."

Shen Mingzhu teased, "Didn't you love her to death before? If she told you to go east, you would never go west, right?"

Shen Xiangnan raised his head and said seriously, "Today I suddenly realized that she is so ugly."

Shen Mingzhu: "...So, you used to obey her because you thought she was pretty?"

Shen Xiangnan nodded honestly.

Shen Mingzhu never expected that her second brother, besides being cowardly and easily influenced, was also a face-chaser.

Yang Lizhen certainly wouldn't suddenly become ugly, but after seeing all the flowers in bloom, who would be tempted by an ordinary wild flower ?

The next day, Shen Xiangnan had just started working at the cotton mill when his team leader asked him to go to the office, saying that the leader wanted to see him.

When Shen Xiangnan arrived at the office, he found that Yang Lizhen was also there.

Yang Lizhen's eyes were red, and as soon as she saw him, tears started streaming down her face. The look in her eyes when she looked at Shen Xiangnan was full of resentment, as if she was looking at a heartless man.

Director Xu got straight to the point. He pointed at Yang Lizhen and asked Shen Xiangnan, "Is this your wife?"

Shen Xiangnan hurriedly told Director Xu that he had divorced Yang Lizhen.

After hearing this, Director Xu criticized him harshly, "Shen Xiangnan, you look honest and loyal, how could you do such a thing? The girl has been married to you for only half a year, and you divorced her and asked her to return the betrothal gift. If I had known you were such a person, I would not have hired you in the first place."

Hearing this, Yang Lizhen quickly spoke up to plead for Shen Xiangnan, "Director Xu, Xiangnan was just confused for a moment. Please give him another chance to reform."

Then he walked to Shen Xiangnan and said, "Xiangnan, let's remarry. If we remarry, you won't have the bad reputation of being a man who cheats on you and then abandons you."

Yang Lizhen seemed to be begging, but in fact she was making a threat.

If Shen Xiangnan didn't remarry her, she would keep making trouble and make it impossible for Shen Xiangnan to stay in the cotton mill.

Shen Xiangnan took a deep breath, "Lizhen, do you really have to do this? If I don't remarry you, will you destroy me?"

"You are the one who let me down. I have no choice but to come to your leader."

After that, Yang Lizhen knelt down in front of Director Xu and said, "Director Xu, please help me persuade Xiangnan. I really want to live a good life with him. Besides, I'm pregnant..."

"You don't mean to say that you are pregnant again?"

Yang Lizhen turned her head and looked at Shen Mingzhu who had been standing at the door for who knows how long, and her face suddenly changed.

Shen Mingzhu walked into the office with a smile on her face and took the initiative to identify herself to Director Xu.

Director Xu knew that she was Pei Wenping's sister-in-law, so his attitude was quite polite.

"Sister Shen, although this is your family affair, Shen Xiangnan is an employee of the factory. If the matter gets out of hand and the superiors know about it, no one will be happy. Besides, your second sister-in-law is pregnant, so why not give her another chance? As the saying goes, a husband and wife for a day will be grateful to each other for a hundred days, right?"

Shen Mingzhu looked down at Yang Lizhen, "You are quite scheming and clever, but it's a pity that you never use them in the right way."

"Director Xu, I had guessed that she would keep pestering me, so I specially invited the village chief of Shenjiagou. I believe that after listening to him, you will definitely change your mind."

Yang Lizhen looked at the village chief coming in from outside, and her already bad expression suddenly became even uglier.

At this time, there were already quite a few people outside the office door watching the fun.

As the village chief told the story, everyone's sympathy for Yang Lizhen turned into contempt.

She faked a pregnancy to trick her mother-in-law into buying a gold necklace, secretly resold her mother-in-law's craftsmanship, causing her husband's family to suffer heavy losses, and was also lazy and refused to do housework.

After learning about Yang Lizhen's evil deeds, Director Xu was furious and directly kicked her out. He also ordered the people in the guard room not to let Yang Lizhen in again.

After the matter was resolved, Shen Xiangnan returned to the workshop to work, while Shen Mingzhu took the village chief away.

Not long after walking out of the cotton mill, Yang Lizhen stopped him.

"Shen Mingzhu, what have I done to offend you that you can't stand seeing me get better! As a married sister-in-law, why do you have the right to interfere in your family affairs? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Shen Mingzhu looked at the other person and said, "Yang Lizhen, whether I will be punished or not is none of your business, but it will be hard for you to marry in the future. No one would dare to marry a lazy, mean, selfish daughter-in-law like you who only cares about making money from your parents' home and doesn't care about the life and death of your husband's family."

Yang Lizhen was so angry that her face turned blue. "Shen Mingzhu, what qualifications do you have to criticize me? Do you think you were any better than me when you were at your parents' home? You were just a little luckier than me, marrying a city man. Just wait and see. I, Yang Lizhen, will not only be able to marry myself, but also marry a better man than Shen Xiangnan!"

"Oh, then I wish you success."

Just two days after dealing with Yang Lizhen, Xiang Ying suddenly came to the door.

When Shen Mingzhu visited the Xiang family before, she brought a lot of homemade snacks.

Xiang Ying hosted a banquet for her leader at home a few days ago. The neighboring leader's child has been picky about food since he was young, but he has a special liking for the snacks made by Shen Mingzhu and keeps eating them.

The leader then found Xiang Ying and asked where she bought the snacks. Xiang Ying then came to Shen Mingzhu and asked her to help make some more.

Although Xiang Ying did not help her, Shen Mingzhu agreed without hesitation, knowing that haste makes waste.

Before leaving, Xiang Ying held her hand embarrassedly and said, "Mingzhu, I've been busy recently and forgot about the thing you asked me to do. But don't worry, I will definitely do it for you. Just wait for my good news."

"Thank you, Sister Ying."

See, isn't this it? After Xiang Ying left, Shen Mingzhu immediately dug out the leftover ingredients, made the snacks that Xiang Ying had specifically requested, and personally delivered them to her door the next day.

Two days later, Shen Mingzhu received a call from Xiang Ying, asking her to go to the Jinxi Hotel at 7 o'clock in the evening, saying that there was a cocktail reception there, and entrepreneurs and bosses from all walks of life would attend the meeting.

Whether Shen Mingzhu can seize the opportunity depends on her own ability.

When Shen Mingzhu arrived at the hotel in the evening, it was ten minutes before seven o'clock.

She didn't have an invitation, so she could only wait in the hotel lobby for Xiang Ying's husband to come out to pick her up.

After a while, a young woman walked in from the hotel entrance.

The woman was wearing a trendy suit, three-inch high heels, delicate makeup on her face, and long hair draped over her shoulders, swaying in the wind as she walked.

Everyone in the restaurant was looking at the woman, and Shen Mingzhu was no exception. Who doesn't like to look at a beautiful woman?

However, after the woman walked over, Shen Mingzhu was surprised to recognize that she was Sun Feifei.

Sun Feifei also recognized her and approached her suspiciously, asking, "What are you doing here?"
