Two days later.

Wang Manni took her afternoon off, and when she was half asleep, she heard a knock on the door. She straightened her pajamas and went to open the door. A courier in overalls handed over two handbags.

"It must be Miss Wang Manni, this is your gift."

She signed her name on the express delivery note, said thank you, and returned to the house with her handbag.

I haven’t bought anything online recently. What’s going on with the express delivery?

She took out the box from her handbag and opened it to see a pair of high-heeled shoes decorated with carrot dice and a pair of RC high-heeled sandals with ankle straps.

There is a gift card at the bottom of the handbag, with a line of handwritten Chinese characters on it: "I hope you can wear it casually, wear it without feeling distressed, and no longer need to put rubber on the soles of your shoes." --- On the Mediterranean Splendor, Liang Zhengxian once said

I said that women who dine in the yacht club’s exclusive restaurants never wear rubber soles under their high heels.

To be honest, the words were not very pretty, but she smiled and couldn't put it down, playing with the two pairs of shoes.

…

8pm BJ time.

HK Central.

NOC ROASTERY Cafe.

The black and white themed decoration style is very stylish, with spotless tableware on the counter, beautifully packaged coffee beans in the cabinet grid at the back, a small flowerpot at the angle between the window and the wall, and a handwritten note on the umbrella bucket near the door.

Above it is a line of beautiful characters - the most thoughtful tenderness to you who forgot to bring an umbrella on a rainy day, followed by a smiley face symbol on the lower right.

The waiter brought two cups of coffee, said slowly, turned around and left.

"His latte art is pretty good. I can't bear to stir it up every time I drink it." Lin Yue looked at the milky white flowers floating on the surface of the coffee and said with a smile.

Sitting on the chair opposite him was a woman in her early thirties. Her eyebrows drawn with eyebrow pencil were swept slightly above her cheekbones. Her long bangs were combed to one side. She looked a bit chilly when she wasn't talking.

.

Zhao Jingyu, the woman who had been friends with Liang Zhengxian for seven years, his fiancee, was also the trump card that Neptune used to get rid of other women.

"I remember the last time I met you at the gym, you said you were from Shanghai. Why do you sound like you are very familiar with HK now?"

Lin Yue smiled: "Of course, I like the beef brisket in clear soup in the shop opposite. Every time I finish eating, if it's still early, I will come here to sit and try the new products launched by the shop."

"Nine records?" She suddenly realized that Lin Yue's words above were in Cantonese: "Hey, do you speak Cantonese so well?"

Lin Yue joked: "If I said that I learned Cantonese so that I would not be treated differently when I came to eat in Hong Kong, would you believe it?"

Zhao Jingyu said: "You really know how to joke."

She stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon, picked it up and took a sip: "You asked me to come here to meet you, wasn't it just for drinking coffee?"

Although the young man opposite is funny and handsome, and more importantly, he exudes an indescribable temperament and feels safe. I really want to sit and chat with him, but as a person

As a mature woman, she still has some sense left and knows that the other person asking her out will not just drink coffee.

"Of course not." Lin Yue said, "I want to talk to you about Liang Zhengxian."

Liang Zhengxian?

Zhao Jingyu looked surprised, not expecting the young man to say this name.

"Do you need to be so surprised? He and I are not good friends, we are just acquaintances who drank and ate together." Lin Yue explained with a smile: "Has he contacted you recently?"

Zhao Jingyu shook her head.

"This guy leaves such a beautiful fiancée at home and travels alone, doesn't he care whether she is bored or not?"

Zhao Jingyu remained silent.

"In general, HK is still too small, the sky above your head is too narrow, and your mind will not be open. How about it? Are you interested in visiting the mainland?"

What did he mean? Zhao Jingyu suddenly raised her head because she realized that there was something behind Lin Yue's words, but she couldn't figure out the underlying meaning.

"You're kidding, don't be so nervous." Lin Yue picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and ate a large piece of the latte art on it: "Does the coffee taste good?"

Zhao Jingyu nodded and said, "Not bad."

"The toast here is also very delicious. A slice of it for breakfast will satisfy you all morning."

"Really?"

"Of course, I'll treat you to some food when you have time."

Zhao Jingyu didn't say yes or no, but changed the subject and said: "Last time when I was in the gym, I asked you what you do, but you haven't told me yet?"

Lin Yue smiled meaningfully: "I am a lawyer."

"lawyer?"

"Don't believe it?"

"..."

Fifteen minutes later, Zhao Jingyu picked up the chain bag placed behind her and said with a smile: "Thank you for the coffee."

"You're welcome." Lin Yue stood up and walked her out the door.

…

Two more days pass.

Zhong Xiaoqin stood on the causeway next to the Suzhou River and kept walking back and forth.

"What should I do?" She stamped her feet anxiously. Ever since her mother called Chen Yu to find out about the divorce, she had called her no less than ten times in the past two days, asking her to go home and explain clearly why she wanted to divorce. She felt so old.

The wife's tone was very stern, so she lied that she was taking a break and would go back in two days.

The old lady gave a death order not long ago. If you don't go back today, you will never go back again.

"Sister." Zhong Xiaoyang said from behind: "This kind of thing is nothing to be ashamed of. I think it's better for you to go back and explain it clearly to your aunt. Anyway, there are no children to drag you down. If two people can't live together, they will separate. It's not like the feudal era where women don't have men.

If you can’t live, everyone has the right to pursue happiness, as long as you are happier today than yesterday.”

"But my parents don't think so." Zhong Xiaoqin said: "They have old ideas. When I was in school, they watched me closely every day and wouldn't let me play with this child. They said that child was uneducated and not suitable for being friends.

, I also went to college in Shanghai, and I never left them. They arranged a blind date two years after graduation, and urged me to get married to Chen Yu, saying that the man was honest, reliable, highly educated, and had a good job, and I didn’t even know what I wanted.

Married out of nowhere."

Just as Zhong Xiaoyang was about to speak, Zhong Xiaoqin's cell phone rang. When she picked it up, her expression changed instantly.

"What's wrong?"

"My dad had a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital."

"Which hospital is it? I'll take you there."

"I'd better take a taxi. If mom sees you, she will ask you questions later."

"What time of day is it now, why are you still struggling with this and taking a taxi? The roads are so congested that it will take more than an hour to get to the hospital."

Zhong Xiaoqin thought that this was indeed the case, so she had no choice but to take the helmet thrown by Zhong Xiaoyang, get on the Harley motorcycle and rush to the hospital.

…

Half an hour later.

The motorcycle stopped at the door. Zhong Xiaoqin told him he could go, took off his helmet and ran to the outpatient clinic building.

When she arrived at the cardiac surgery department, she met a doctor who was explaining the condition to her mother.

"It's out of danger. The patient had a history of heart disease before, but now there are signs of recurrence. It's pretty good. We rescued it in time. There is no big problem now, but he still needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days. Heart stent

Have you never done this before?"

Zhong Mu shook her head: "Do you still need to install a stent?"

"It depends on the patient's recovery. We will come up with a treatment plan by then."

"Oh, okay, thank you, thank you."

The doctor nodded, took the folder and left.

"Mom...Dad, what's wrong?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked anxiously as the doctor walked into the office.

"What's wrong with your dad? I'm not angry with you! Such a big thing as a divorce was handled quietly without any discussion with us. I went to Chen Yu's place two days ago. I originally wanted to take advantage of you.

On your birthday, you asked him to add your name to the house book. What happened? At that time, I really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl through. After I got back, I never dared to tell your dad about it until I called you not long ago.

I heard it on the side, and when I get angry, isn’t that..."

Zhong Xiaoqin was about to comfort her when she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw that it was Zhong Xiaoyang coming over.

"Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to go back?"

Zhong Xiaoyang said: "I'm worried. Come and take a look. I'm wondering if I can help if I need help." After that, he looked at Zhong's mother and said, "It's auntie, my colleague Xiaoqin's name is Zhong Xiaoyang."

"Is that you?" Mother Zhong's expression changed, and she pointed to the corridor and said, "Go, go now, I don't want to see you."

Zhong Xiaoyang was stunned.

"Mom?" Zhong Xiaoqin was confused.

"You're not leaving, are you? If you insist on me being angry like your father and lying down, you will get what you want? Are you happy?"
