Upon hearing Ning Yuan's voice, Yan Yi interrupted directly, "I said I don't have time to go over there, you figure it out yourself."

He was about to hang up the phone, but paused after hearing what was said on the other end of the line.

"...You didn't hear it. Mr. Chen kept calling Shen Mingzhu a stinky bitch. He almost made her cry. I felt pity for her pitiful little face. Tsk tsk, okay, since you don't have time, I'll find someone else..."

"I'll be there in half an hour."

Ning Yuan on the other end of the phone showed an "I knew it" expression and said something saucy, "Rain or shine, I'll be waiting for you here~"

In the Yan family's living room.

Old Master Yan, the Yan couple, and Yan Su were sitting on the sofa chatting about family matters. When they saw Yan Yi coming down the stairs, they all looked over at him.

Yan's mother stood up and asked, "It's so late, are you going out?"

"Ning Yuan is in some trouble, I have to go out for a while."

Yan Yi said goodbye and was about to leave, but Yan's mother stopped him and handed him a photo on the coffee table.

"This is Miss Zhong. You can go meet her tomorrow."

"Zhong Qing is about the same age as you, and is also talented. Our two families are old friends. When you meet, you should have a good chat with him. It would be best if you can settle your relationship as soon as possible."

The old man had spoken, and Yan Yi could only take the photo and hold it in his hand, "I understand."

In the police station.

Although Chen Jianqiang was not clear about the relationship between Shen Mingzhu and Ning Yuan, he was clear about one thing: he could not and dared not cause trouble for Shen Mingzhu.

Therefore, after completing the statement, he said that he would not pursue the responsibility of Shen Mingzhu for injuring him, and then left in a hurry.

This made Shen Mingzhu secretly breathe a sigh of relief, as she no longer had to ask someone to pick her up.

After signing, she was about to leave, but was stopped by Ning Yuan.

"Shen Mingzhu, I helped you after all, and you're just leaving like that?"

"Thanks."

Shen Mingzhu spoke sincerely, but Ning Yuan was not satisfied.

"You stay with me for a while and tell me about your heroic deeds against that old pervert Chen Jianqiang tonight. Then we can go together when my uncle comes to pick me up. He will be here in ten minutes at most."

Not wanting to owe Ning Yuan a favor, Shen Mingzhu agreed.

However, she did not tell Ning Yuan about her fight with Chen Jianqiang. Instead, she was curious about why Ning Yuan was in the police station.

After listening to Ning Yuan, I learned that Ning Yuan had a quarrel with a rich second-generation man on the road, and ended up crashing into the other person's vegetable stall. The vegetable vendor was slightly injured and is now in the hospital.

The rich second generation was released on bail, and Ning Yuan is still waiting for his uncle to pick him up.

"Here, my uncle is here."

Shen Mingzhu was about to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Ning Yuan's words, but when she saw the person coming in, she almost got choked with shock.

"Is Yan Yi your uncle?"

"Yeah, don't we look alike?"

Shen Mingzhu looked back and forth between the two people's faces, as if looking for similarities, but Yan Yi took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.

"You have a wound on the back of your hand."

Shen Mingzhu raised the back of her hand and found that it was just a hair-thin cut, probably caused by a scratch from broken glass.

"Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Shen Mingzhu replied seriously: "Then we have to hurry up, otherwise the wound will heal in a short time."

Ning Yuan burst out laughing.

Yan Yi took back the handkerchief in silence.

——

It was already eleven o'clock when she came out of the police station. The bus had stopped running long ago, but there were rickshaws available. However, it was late at night and it was obviously safer for her to take a ride with Yan Yi than to take a rickshaw alone.

Along the way, Ning Yuan's jokes helped Shen Mingzhu understand the relationship between them as uncle and nephew.

Ning Yuan's mother and Yan Yi are half-siblings.

The car soon stopped at the gate of the family compound.

"Thanks."

Yan Yi pointed at her face from a distance and said, "Remember to apply ice when you get home to reduce swelling and bruises."

Shen Mingzhu subconsciously touched her cheek. She didn't feel any pain before, but now she found that it was still a little painful.

——

The door of the family compound is locked after 11 o'clock, and the security guard needs to open a small door to enter.

Yan Yi sat in the car, tilted his head and watched through the window as Shen Mingzhu greeted the guard. When he entered, the small iron door slammed shut and he withdrew his gaze.

Ning Yuan took in his expression and eyes throughout the whole process, and said teasingly, "Old Yan, are you particularly jealous of her husband? Do you wish you could replace him?"

Yan Yi glanced over.

Ning Yuan immediately stepped back tactically, "Don't look at me like that, I'm scared."

Yan Yi withdrew his gaze, started the car, and a word "yes" came out of his mouth, blending with the sound of the engine, but Ning Yuan still heard it.

He looked at Yan Yi, hesitant to speak, "Old Yan, play is play, joke is joke, don't joke about feelings."

"Not to mention that she is a married housewife with children, even if she was an unmarried young woman, she would not be able to enter your Yan family."

Yan Yi did not comment.

In fact, it didn't come to that. At first, he just thought she was an atypical rural woman. Later, as he got to know her and got to know her better, he found her more and more interesting and couldn't help but pay attention to her.

One has to admit that she was indeed the first woman who aroused his desire to win and conquer.

But that's all.

Yan Yi told himself in his heart.

——

When opening the door, Shen Mingzhu subconsciously moved lightly so as not to wake up her son. As a result, when she opened the door, she found that the lights were on in the living room, and Pei Ziheng, who was sitting on the sofa, ran towards her immediately.

"Mother."

Shen Mingzhu closed the door, put the key away, and looked down at Pei Ziheng who was hugging her legs.

In an intimate tone, "Why aren't you asleep yet so late?"

“Waiting for you.

Listening to her son's answer, Shen Mingzhu felt a warm feeling called happiness in her heart, and the depression in her heart and the fatigue in her body disappeared.

However, the smile on Pei Ziheng's little face disappeared the moment he saw Shen Mingzhu's left face.

"Mom, squat down."

Shen Mingzhu didn't understand what was going on until Pei Ziheng's white and tender little hand gently touched her cheek, then she reacted.

"Mom, you've been bullied." A cold little face and a firm tone.

Shen Mingzhu grinned, "You guessed wrong, I was the one who bullied someone. Let me tell you in secret, I beat that person so hard that his head was bleeding. But fighting is wrong, don't learn from me."

After saying this, Shen Mingzhu saw her son pursing his lips tightly, with an expression that looked like he was about to cry out of heartache, so she quickly hugged him to comfort him.

"Be good, I'm fine."

Pei Ziheng leaned his little head on her shoulder, his dark eyes flashing with a devilish coldness, "Mom, anyone who bullies you deserves to die."

Shen Mingzhu didn't care and thought her son was just speaking in anger.

——

In the morning, when Shen Mingzhu looked in the mirror, she found that although the slap mark on her face had faded, it was still visible if she looked closely.

She could only use foundation to cover it up and put on some light makeup.

Not long after I went out, I met a few mothers who were also sending their children to kindergarten.

For some reason, Shen Mingzhu always felt that the mothers looked at her strangely.

"Mother Ziheng, you are dressed so beautifully today. Are you going out?"

"They will pick you up and drop you off in a car, so why would I need to go out in person?"

Jiang Jing made a sarcastic remark.
