Early in the morning, just after daybreak, Shen Mingzhu got up and prepared to take a walk down the mountain to find a phone to contact the father and his two daughters.
As soon as I closed the door, I heard some noise behind me.
When I turned around, I saw a strange young man coming out of Zhong Qing's room.
Shen Mingzhu's scalp was about to explode, "Who are you!?"
Five minutes later, the young man left under the guidance of the villa security guard, leaving Shen Mingzhu and Zhong Qing standing alone in the corridor, looking at each other.
The scene was awkward for a moment.
"Come into my room and talk."
Zhong Qing rubbed his arms and invited Shen Mingzhu with a smile.
The temperature on the mountain was much lower than that at the foot of the mountain. She was only wearing a silk nightgown, so she inevitably felt a little cold.
Shen Mingzhu did not refuse.
"Qingqing, what is your relationship with that boy?"
After Zhong Qing wrapped herself in a blanket and sat down, Shen Mingzhu asked tentatively.
Zhong Qing gathered the blanket and looked at her, with a teasing look in her beautiful eyes, "A man and a woman stayed in the same room for a whole night. What do you think? If I said we were just ordinary friends, you wouldn't believe it, right?"
Shen Mingzhu was speechless, "You keep a gigolo? Aren't you afraid that Yan Yi will find out?"
Zhong Qing blinked mischievously, "Will you tell him?"
"……Won't."
"Aren't you used to seeing infidelity to family and marriage?"
"Others may not like it, but I think I can understand you."
Zhong Qing was laughing so hard that her body was shaking.
Shen Mingzhu said angrily, "Don't be too happy too soon. Your husband's family is extremely powerful. You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever."
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore."
Although she tried hard to suppress her smile, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of the bright and beautiful spring.
You can tell at a glance that it was moisturized last night.
Shen Mingzhu was in a very complicated mood, "You and Yan Yi, is there something wrong with your relationship?"
Zhong Qing shook her head, "We have no problems because we have no feelings."
"From the beginning, our marriage was a marriage of convenience."
Shen Mingzhu was neither surprised nor unsurprised.
Most marriages between wealthy families are based on interests, but she always thought that good friends would be an exception.
At least, from her point of view, Zhong Qing and Yan Yi get along very well, and they don't look like a couple who play with each other.
It just goes to show that both of them are really good at acting.
"Then you should be more careful and don't let the children see it." After a long silence, Shen Mingzhu reminded dryly.
From her perspective, her friend's behavior was undoubtedly wrong.
But she also knows how torment a sexless marriage is for women, and everyone has the right to pursue happiness.
"Don't worry, I will pay attention. I don't have much time to meet him normally, and we always meet in other places. In fact, I don't like this kind of thing. I had a physical examination before and was found to have endocrine disorders. I don't want to go through menopause before I'm 40. As for Yan Yi, he doesn't need to be paid attention to. He is not looking for someone outside."
You have already looked for it, how could he not look for it? Maybe you just didn't see it.
Shen Mingzhu smiled but said nothing, but she was secretly complaining in her heart.
Zhong Qing tilted her head and looked at her, "You don't believe it?"
Shen Mingzhu nodded honestly, "A little bit. In this kind of thing, men will be more reluctant, right?"
Zhong Qing chuckled, "Most men do, but he is not an ordinary man. He is very picky and paranoid. Once he has someone in his heart, he will not be interested in anyone else."
Shen Mingzhu didn't gossip about Yan Yi's crush, but looked out the window and said, "It's getting late, let's go down the mountain to have breakfast and call the kids."
"OK."
…
In the VIP box on the top floor of the racecourse.
Pei Tang lay on the semi-arc viewing platform outside the box, using his hands as a trumpet to shout at the horses galloping at the racecourse:
"Number seven, charge!"
"Come on, number seven!"
She was dressed very casually today, wearing a pink printed short T-shirt and white overalls. Her shoulder-length hair was draped behind her head and tied into a small bow on top of her head with a cherry hairband.
Standing on both sides of her were Ning Yanqing, Ning Yanxi, and three children from the Ning family.
There are three children, two boys and one girl.
The girl's name is Ning Meiyue, and she is the same age as Ning Yanxi.
Ning Meiyue stood close to Ning Yanxi. She looked at Pei Tang with a sidelong glance and muttered to Ning Yanxi, "Manman, your friend is so rude and uneducated. He keeps yelling non-stop. It's so annoying."
Ning Yanxi was about to turn around and tell her cousin not to talk like that, but Pei Tang spoke up first: "It's impolite to talk behind someone's back!"
Perhaps she didn't expect Pei Tang to be so rude to her, Ning Meiyue's face showed anger: "You dare to say that I'm rude, believe it or not, I'll have someone kick you out."
"cut."
Pei Tang rolled his eyes cutely, "You didn't invite me, why are you kicking me out?"
After saying that, he looked at Ning Yanxi and said in a softer tone, "Manman, are you going to kick me out?"

Ning Yanxi quickly shook her head.
Although Ning Meiyue is her cousin, if you think about it carefully, she and Pei Tang are close friends who grew up together.
Ning Meiyue said unwillingly: "Cousin, she is rude and arrogant. Don't be friends with her. I will take you to see Princess Maya tomorrow. Maya's father is the sheikh of Dubai!"
After saying that, he did not forget to cast a provocative and complacent look at Pei Tang, "People of our status should make friends like Maya."
After hearing this, Pei Tang pushed open the glass door and entered the box without saying a word.
Ning Yanxi wanted to chase after her, but Ning Meiyue held her arm tightly.
"Manman, don't worry about her. We'll have more peace and quiet after she leaves!"
…
In the box, Ning Yuan and a few familiar friends were drinking and chatting while watching the live broadcast of the race on the giant screen TV.
Pei Yang and his son Pei Ziheng were also present, acting as the background with knowledge and interest.
With the Pei family's financial resources and background, they are still not in the eyes of these people.
Pei Yang listened to the group talking about horse racing, stocks and business.
Pei Ziheng was watching the scene on the observation deck through the floor-to-ceiling glass wall.
He saw the entire argument between Pei Tang and Ning Meiyue.
I didn't go out to help immediately because I wanted to cultivate my sister's ability to resolve contradictions and conflicts.
After all, he couldn't stay by her side 24 hours a day, and he had to let his sister learn to grow up.
After entering the box, Pei Tang went straight to Ning Yuan.
"Uncle Ning."
The girl's voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of crying in her grievance, which brought the conversation in the living room to an abrupt end.
When Ning Yuan turned around, Pei Tang said directly: "I'm sorry, Uncle Ning, I have to leave first."
"What happened? Tell your uncle."
Pei Tang shook his head and just turned to glance at Ning Meiyue on the observation deck.
There is a bit of scheming in his attempt to hide his true intentions, but because he is young and has a pleasing appearance, he is not offensive but rather sympathetic.
Ning Yuan smiled knowingly, "Did Meiyue bully you?"
Pei Tang wiped his eyes and said, "Not really, she was telling the truth."
"What did she say?"
"She said I was not worthy of being Manman's friend and asked Manman to kick me out. I didn't want to embarrass Manman, so I left on my own."
"I didn't say anything wrong, why should I apologize to her!"
Ning Meiyue, who was called in, was so angry that her nostrils flared.
"She is a friend of mine and a guest invited by me. If you don't know how to entertain guests, I will call her now and ask her mother to take you back and teach you a lesson."
Ning Meiyue was so angry that she turned around and ran away. The pride of a rich girl was engraved in her bones. She would rather be scolded than bow her head.
In order to appease Pei Tang, Ning Yuan generously promised to give her a gift.
Pei Tang asked for a horse racing ticket.
Although Shen Mingzhu agreed to let her watch horse racing, she did not allow her to participate in gambling.
But children, of course, love to play. (End of this chapter)
