She called two female friends she met after coming to London, went to a famous Michelin restaurant for dinner, and ordered a bottle of expensive red wine.

When her friends asked her what good news she had, she told them, "One of my good friends gave birth to a lovely daughter."

The boat has passed through thousands of mountains.

In her heart, she still regards Shen Hongmei as a good friend.

…

"Everything in London is good, except that I can't eat authentic dumplings. The Chinese restaurants here are worse than the last..."

Ye Jianli complained while eating, but got no response after a long time. When he looked up, he found that Yan Yi's gaze was fixed on a certain place in the restaurant.

He looked over and his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Shen Mingzhu happily dining with her friends.

"You eat first, I'll go over and say hello."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards Shen Mingzhu's table without waiting for Yan Yi's response.

Looking at the eagerness and joy revealed on Ye Jianli's back, Yan Yi picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp with an expressionless face.

"Ms. Shen, what a coincidence, are you having dinner here with your friends?"

"Mr. Ye, nice to meet you again." Shen Mingzhu stood up politely and greeted him.

"Yes, it seems that we are destined to be together. I came here with my cousin. He is in London on business and wanted to meet me."

Perhaps because he was worried that Shen Mingzhu might misunderstand, he went out of his way to explain it a little more.

Shen Mingzhu looked in the direction of his gesture and saw no one, but the food and tableware on the table indicated that Ye Jianli was indeed having dinner here with his friends.

After Ye Jianli left, Shen Mingzhu called the waiter to settle the bill, but was told that someone at their table had already paid.

Shen Mingzhu instinctively thought that it was Ye Jianli who paid the bill, so she paid for Ye Jianli's table.

Only after Shen Mingzhu and her group left the restaurant did Yan Yi return to his seat to continue eating.

Seeing him use knife and fork to gracefully pick up a piece of cold steak and put it into his mouth, Ye Jianli was both surprised and puzzled.

How could someone who is picky about everything, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, eat a cold steak without batting an eyelid? "Where have you been? The food is cold. Order another one."

“No need.”

Yan Yi slowly swallowed the beef in his mouth, took a sip of the wine and said, "Are you familiar with the lady just now?"

"You mean Miss Shen? We met by chance on the plane."

Ye Jianli did not hide his affection for Shen Mingzhu, and he kept talking, "...It's a pity that we met too late. She is already married and has two children. Oh, if she hadn't been married, I would have pursued her."

Oh, you're daydreaming? Are you pursuing her?

Are you worthy? Is it your turn?

Yan Yi appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually dissing like crazy in his heart.

After breaking up with Ye Jianli, he immediately called his second aunt, Ye Jianli's biological mother, to complain:

"Second aunt, please arrange a blind date for Jianli. He has set his sights on a married woman. He's gone crazy."

After setting a trap for Ye Jianli, Yan Yi turned around and went downstairs to the international students' dormitory.

On the way to London, he imagined many ways and scenes of meeting Shen Mingzhu.

When they met unexpectedly in the restaurant, he looked at her smiling face from afar and had a momentary impulse to plunder and possess her. After all, he had the means and ability to do so.

Perhaps if he gets her, he can let go of his obsession of many years.

But he came to his senses the next second and realized that he couldn't treat her in this way.

He would rather make her better than destroy her.

She was originally a climbing trumpet creeper, growing upwards and blooming as brilliantly as a summer flower.

"You can leave now."

"Airport."

The black taxi drove away gracefully and soon disappeared into the street.

As the sun sets, Shen Mingzhu stands on the balcony watering the newly planted flowers and plants, unaware that someone has been standing silently at the corner of the street for a long time.

…

"Boss Ning, something happened at Northern Airlines!"

In the afternoon, Ning Yuan was sitting cross-legged and drinking coffee when his assistant Ke Wen suddenly ran into the office anxiously and turned on the TV immediately.

"Here is an urgent news. At 2:48 pm, a B146 passenger plane bound for the capital ran off the runway and crashed into a swamp. The rescue team is currently carrying out emergency rescue of the passengers of the crashed plane..."

Looking at the bold and enlarged words "Air Northern" on TV, Ning Yuan suddenly reacted.

Fuck, isn’t this the banker’s property?

Judging from the footage on TV, the accident was quite tragic, with the entire plane breaking into three pieces.

Fortunately, because it fell in a swamp, there was no explosion or fire at the scene.

But for a private aviation company, an air crash of this magnitude is enough to bring a devastating blow.

Ning Yuan picked up the phone, thought for a moment, and called home first.

Upon learning that Zhuang Xueqi had gone back to her parents' home, he called Ning Wenqian again.

Ning Wenqian should have received the news before him. He is already at the airport in Gangcheng, preparing to take a private plane back to Fengcheng.

"If you have anything to say, I'll tell you when I get home tonight."

Ning Wenqian hung up the phone decisively. Ning Yuan had no intention of continuing to work, so he drove back to Mingyuan at lightning speed.

In a lawn yard that is as big as a football field, the twins are playing badminton, laughing and talking carefree, apparently not affected by the outside world.

Ning Yuan leaned against the car door and watched for a while, then took out his mobile phone to call Zhuang Xueqi.

The call was quickly connected. He wanted to ask about the plane crash, but his first words turned into: "When will you be back?"

"Not available at the moment."

The call was hung up immediately after the conversation.

Ning Yuan scratched his hair in annoyance and called Yan Yi again to inquire about the casualties in the accident.

When Ning Wenqian returned, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

The twins were taken to their residence by their nanny to rest. Ning Wenqian, Yan Jing and Ning Yuan, a family of three, sat on the huge sofa in the living room.

The TV was on, broadcasting the search and rescue situation of the crashed flight in real time.

As the bodies of the victims were carried out of the swamp, the expressions of the three men became more and more solemn.

"Dad, will this incident have a big impact on the banker?" Ning Yuan asked Ning Wenqian with hope.

Ning Wenqian did not answer him directly, but said: "The project in Country Y is over."

"oh."

After saying so, Ning Yuan suddenly realized that his marriage with Zhuang Xueqi was not because of that project? What was the point of telling him this at this juncture? Ning's father quickly told him: "If you want to divorce, I can arrange a lawyer for you."

Ning Yuan's mind was confused for a moment, "Who said I want a divorce?"

"Didn't you say you didn't like Xueqi and kept asking for a divorce? Now that the project is over, you're free."

Ning Yuan looked at his father, then at his mother, and it took him a long time to find his voice again: "Do you think of me as a tool? You can put me wherever you want. The project in Country Y is over, what's the next project? Which daughter are you going to pair me with this time?"

He sneered: "I am now a divorced man with two children. I am afraid that others will not look down on me!" (End of this chapter)
