He sighed, took out a note from his arms, handed it to Meng Wenbin, and when he turned and left, he spoke to Ji Ling.

"That's my friend's phone number and address. If you want to know, you can call him and ask him to meet you. He knows some inside information that may be helpful to you."

Meng Wenbin held the note with an innocent look on his face, "He forced this on me."

Miao Man glared at him, snatched the note, scanned the phone number and name on it, and handed it to Ji Ling, "Keep it. After all, he came here on his own accord to give it to us. We didn't beg him to do it."

Ji Ling smiled and took the note, "Okay, you two can go too."

Miao Man wanted to settle accounts with Meng Wenbin and didn't want to make trouble for Ji Ling, so she went back to the house, picked up her bag and left.

The house became quiet, and Ji Ling put the note on the table without reading it.

Jiang Yihang didn't say much, but Ji Ling could guess a little bit. What Jiang Yihang wanted to talk about might be the matter between Zhu Weidong and Cao Yehong.

No matter what happened, Cao Yehong was pregnant, and this was a fact that could not be changed.

Ji Ling no longer wanted to ask about other reasons.

Seeing that it was already noon, Ji Ling felt tired, so she went back to bed and took a nap for a while. She heard the phone ringing in a daze, so she got up and answered it.

It was Rong Junjie who called. Hearing her hoarse voice, he asked, "You haven't woken up yet?"

Ji Ling smiled bitterly and told him what happened in the morning. Rong Junjie smiled and said, "I originally thought that I would wake you up by calling you at this time, but I ended up disturbing you. Go to sleep first, and I'll bring you food in the evening."

Ji Ling was busy refusing, saying that there was still food at home.

"It's New Year's Day, the leftover food should be frozen outside. We need to eat fresh food. You take a rest first, I'll come over in the evening." Rong Junjie hung up the phone without saying anything.

Ji Ling was helpless and could not persuade him anymore. She was thinking about going back to bed when the door rang again.

She had a lively day.

But when she saw the figure outside the door, Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, "Why are you here?"

Zhu Weidong was carrying some fruit in his hands. "I just happened to pass by here, so I thought of bringing you some fruit."

Ji Ling stood in front of the door and said, "Take the fruit back. Yao Wu and the others sent a lot this morning. Niuniu went to the compound. I can't eat much by myself. It would be a waste if I left more."

The cardboard box that Zhu Weidong brought was right at his feet. He had originally planned to bend down to pick it up and bring it into the house, but he did not expect Ji Ling to refuse, and he stood there in a daze for a moment.

Ji Ling didn't say much, "You should go back too. We can meet at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau at nine o'clock on the fifth day of the New Year. Niuniu and I don't need anything here, so you don't have to worry about it. The elders at home have been very worried about you in the past six months, so you should spend more time with them."

Her in-laws treated her so well that even when Ji Ling faced Zhu Weidong's betrayal, she couldn't say a harsh word.

It's better to part ways in peace. Zhu Weidong also lost his memory, so it can't be considered a betrayal if you think about it. It can only be said that their fate has come.

The door was closed. Zhu Weidong stood there for a long time before he lowered his head and looked at the cardboard box. It took him a long time to turn around and go downstairs. As for the fruit, he did not take it away.

Through the door, Ji Ling heard the footsteps coming down the stairs fading away. When she could no longer hear the footsteps, she looked through the door mirror and saw that there was no one there, so she went back into the house.

The third day of the Chinese New Year is the day when married daughters return home. Ji Ling called home and talked with her parents for a while. Ji Yong and his wife pretended to be unaware of the situation on the phone. After hanging up, Ji Ling tidied up the house and put away the things she brought back. Zhu Yaowu and others came with Niuniu.

This time he came to deliver food, and it was freshly made dishes.

Zhu Yaowu and his friends arranged the dishes, and soon after, Grandma Zhu and the others came over.

Mrs. Zhu held Ji Ling's hand and said, "Without you at home, I always feel like something is missing. We didn't invite any guests to dinner at home today, so we decided to have everyone come over to eat."

Ji Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's so cold outside. Grandma misses me. I'll go back as soon as she calls me. How can I let you guys bother me?"

"When you get older, you can exercise more and eat more."

Ji Ling looked over and was stunned for a moment before she said, "Put it on the balcony."

She did not hide it and told him that Zhu Weidong came to deliver fruit.

Old Madam Zhu asked, "He's coming over?"

He almost said he had the nerve to come over.

It's just that her upbringing prevents her from saying such things.

But everyone present heard it.

Zhu Yaowu and the others laughed without giving him face, but Kong Siya simply pretended not to hear and called on everyone to sit down and eat.

After dinner, it was already dark outside. Since Niu Niu was asleep, they stayed. After everyone left, the smile on Ji Ling's face also faded.

Her husband's family treats her well, that's great.

Ji Ling always feels guilty.

She felt unworthy of this kindness. She was too selfish. When it came to the relationship between her and Zhu Weidong, she did not think about maintaining it or fighting for it. Instead, she left without looking back.

Come to think of it, she is the betrayer.

The sleeping daughter suddenly turned over and squeezed into her arms. Ji Ling's heart softened as she bent down and kissed her daughter. She didn't know whether her daughter would blame her for the choice she made today when she grew up.

The more Ji Ling thought about it, the more sleepless she became, and the last bit of sleepiness she had was gone.

Finally, I got up and walked to the window. I originally wanted to look at the night view outside the window. After all, it was New Year and every house hung red lanterns. But for some reason, I saw a figure standing under the poplar tree not far downstairs.

Although she couldn't see his face clearly, Ji Ling was sure that it was Zhu Weidong.

Through the window, Ji Ling stared blankly at the figure outside. She didn't know how long the person had been standing there, facing the building.

Ji Ling's heart was tense. After an unknown amount of time, her vision was blocked by the snowflakes.

It's snowing.

The figure downstairs was still standing there, neither moving nor leaving.

Ji Ling gritted her teeth, turned away from the window, and returned to the bed, thinking that he could stand if he wanted.

We've clearly agreed on this, who are you acting like this for?

Besides, there is Cao Yehong standing in the way, and he has forgotten the days they spent together. Why should he do all this now?

There were countless reasons not to let herself go down, but Ji Ling finally couldn't bear it and got up, put on her clothes, and slowly went downstairs.

Ji Ling walked very slowly, and she would rather wait until she went downstairs, when Zhu Weidong had already left.

When she walked down, she found that the man was still standing there. The snow was falling heavily. When she got closer, she could see thick snow on his shoulders and head.

The man didn't move at all.

Ji Ling pursed her lips, "Have you been drinking?"

The other person didn't say anything, but his eyes looked straight at her under the light of the flashlight.
