Because there are two new members coming together, it is inevitable to compare the two of them. Yang Dan is the kind of independent woman with both talent and beauty. She has enough capital to live proudly. Even without relying on a man, she can live a very happy life.
Outstanding, decisive, motivated, decision-making, and independent are all words that describe her.
As for Xia Zhi, compared to Yang Dan's excellence, she seems mediocre. However, she can make Ruan Bin fall in love and want to settle down. She must have her shining points, but she has not been discovered yet.
Of the two of them, one has a flamboyant beauty and the other has a restrained beauty, each has its own merits.
This girl named Xia Zhi is the reason why Ruan Bin wants to end that abnormal marriage. It is for this reason that she has become the focus of this dinner.
Xia Zhi seemed quite nervous. Their brothers were chatting and laughing, but she couldn't get in the conversation, so she just laughed with her. Qiao Xinwei saw that she was nervous, so he took the initiative to talk to her, "Xia Zhi, um, this
The name is really easy to remember. Haha, how old are you this year? You look like a college student out of school."
Xia Zhi smoothly tucked her disheveled hair behind her ears. She felt embarrassed and said, "Sister, thank you for the compliment. I am already thirty years old."
Qiao Xinwei was speechless, "Really? I really haven't noticed. Then you don't need to call me sister. I don't dare to call you sister."
Jiang Hao laughed, put his arm on her shoulder and said to Xia Zhi: "You should call her sister-in-law. I am two days older than Ruan Bin." Jiang Hao proudly gestured to his scissor hands and shook them twice.
Xia Zhi's face turned red. She is a fair person and blushes very obviously. Maybe she is not familiar with everyone. She blushes even if she is teased a little bit.
Seeing Xia Zhi's embarrassment, Qiao Xinwei coughed twice, grabbed Jiang Hao's hand and pressed it down. She smiled and said, "No need to call me sister-in-law, let's just call each other by our names. By the way, you may not know, I used to be in college
I went to work under Mr. Ruan just after graduation, and he is still half of my master. If you put it this way, don’t I have to call you my master?”
Xia Zhi also smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, Xinwei." She actually knew Qiao Xinwei for a long time. Ruan Bin once had a crush on a subordinate in the company, Qiao Xinwei. Her feelings for Qiao Xinwei were
The first impression was very good. He was easy-going, generous and cheerful. No wonder Ruan Bin liked him before. Fortunately, he was chased by Jiang Hao.
Ruan Bin suddenly spoke, "I think I still need to say something. Xia Zhi and I dated seven years ago. Also seven years ago, my dad forced me to go on a blind date with Shen Jiaying. That blind date broke up.
Until last year, we met again, and then this is what you see now."
Ruan Bin held Xia Zhi's hand considerately, that kind of behavior was a kind of affirmation, "The reason why I want to make it clear is that I don't want you to have bad thoughts about her. After all, I am legally married.
What I want to say is that she is not a third party involved in my marriage. She did not destroy my marriage. It is me who does not want to continue that abnormal marriage. It is me who has figured it out and wants to start living the life I want to live again.
.”
Ruan Bin always held Xia Zhi's hand. Xia Zhi lowered his head, his eyes full of emotion.
The only one with a strange look on her face was Yang Dan. It turns out she is the mistress, she thought. She couldn't help but straighten her body. The feeling of loss just now was completely gone. Instead, there was more confidence and pride. I, Yang Dan, can no longer be affected by this.
Waiting is also Chen Jingye's upright girlfriend, and she, Xia Zhi, is just the mistress who is about to be straightened up. Even if she is straightened up, she will be three in one day and three in her lifetime.
Chen Jingye, who had always been arrogant, straightened up his posture at this time, picked up his wine glass and toasted him, saying: "Brother, I support you. One day you are disabled by your old man, remember to inform me to pick you up."
He said these words very seriously, although it sounded like a joke.
Jiang Hao said: "Of course we understand you and support you, but this road is not easy to walk. You must be prepared to lose both sides, especially girls in this regard." He looked at Xia Zhi and said solemnly, "Whether it is
Are you right or wrong? In the eyes of outsiders, you are always the third party. There will definitely be people making irresponsible remarks behind your back. You have to bear it. The truth is hard to hear, but it is the truth. What others say is definitely better than what I say.
It's ten times worse, so be prepared."
Xia Zhi thanked Jiang Hao for his heartfelt words. She understood all these. Before she decided to live with Ruan Bin, she already understood what she was about to face. She said: "Thank you, if I didn't have this preparation, I wouldn't be here today."
Sitting with you, I am not afraid of any of this. In fact, the most difficult thing is Ruan Bin."
Ruan Bin just smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I will handle everything."
The atmosphere was a bit strict. Qiao Xinwei joked: "Oh, it's not easy to say such sweet words when there are children here, right?!?? Okay, okay, they all understand these principles, don't start preaching again, Xi Bao
, take care of your father."
Xi Bao's mouth was so full that he had no time to care about what the adults were saying. When his mother gave orders, he just obeyed them. He looked at Jiang Hao and said: "Dad, my hands are so dirty, wipe them for me?"
Dad, you still have a mouth? Dad, I want to pee??"
As a child slave, Jiang Hao had no right to refuse.
Jiang Hao pulled Xi Bao away from the table, and Chen Jingye couldn't help but joke again, "I really didn't expect that among the three of us, Jiang Hao was the first to become a father. He is famous for being serious and has a black face, okay, but he also has
Such a loving side, tsk tsk tsk, Qiao Xinwei, you have trained her well."
Jiang Hao glared at him and said with his eyes: Next time we go on a date alone, you are the one who looks good. However, it only lasted for a second or two, and he looked back with a kind look on his face, "Let's go, Xi Bao.
Dad takes you to the bathroom?? Slowly, slowly, be careful with your feet."
Foot and foot, Jiang Hao's words shocked everyone.
The father and son walked out of the box, and Qiao Xinwei said with a smile: "Wait, you will be like this in the future, and you will inevitably come to us for advice on parenting."
Ruan Bin said, "Yes, Xi Bao is so smart and sensible. It's not easy for you to be a mother. Come to Xinwei, I'll give you a toast." He added, "Tea instead of wine."
"Haha, okay, I wish you all the hardships will be happy and you will have a son soon."
"This is a good blessing, thank you."
Chen Jingye didn't interrupt here. He drank two glasses of wine by himself, and even poured it down after drinking. Yang Dan stopped him and said fiercely, "Leave me alone, I want to drink."
The atmosphere became tense on the spot, and Yang Dan couldn't help but talk. She knew that Chen Jingye's temper never depended on the occasion. The more she opposed him, the bigger his temper became.
Yang Dan didn't know why he suddenly lost his temper, but Ruan Bin and Qiao Xinwei both knew it in their hearts. If it hadn't been for Zhou Xiaoyi, if there hadn't been that planned car accident, then he would have a happy family and a loving partner.
Wife, he also has a child of his own.
Yun Qing, Chen Jingye will never be able to forgive himself for his evil deeds in this life.
The box became quiet for a while, so quiet that the commotion in the box next door could be heard. Ruan Bin and Qiao Xinwei didn't know how to persuade each other. Yang Dan was embarrassed, and Xia Zhi was even more confused. Xia Zhi looked at Ruan Bin, and Ruan Bin just said softly.
He shook his head to signal her to stop talking.
This deadlock was interrupted by Xi Bao. After a while, Jiang Hao came back with Xi Bao in his arms. Xi Bao patted his bulging belly and said happily: "Mom, Mom, I'm having a baby."
My stomach is empty now, can I have another chicken drumstick?"
"??" My dear son, are you talking about this topic at the dinner table? "You can only eat one chicken leg. You also ate a lot of shrimps. You can only eat vegetables and fruits next."
Xi Bao looked at his father with an aggrieved face, and Qiao Xinwei added: "It's useless to look at dad. If your stomach hurts, dad won't help you. He will only send you to the doctor's uncle for injections and medicine."
Jiang Hao nodded, "Mom is right, come on, eat carrots." Xi Bao is not picky about food, but carrots are a food he cannot accept no matter what.
Xi Bao picked up the small spoon and fed it to Jiang Hao's mouth, "Dad, you can try a piece too."
Jiang Hao grimaced because he couldn't stand the taste of carrots, but he couldn't show it in front of his son, "How about one for Xi Bao and one for Dad?" The father and son began to feed each other carrots, one for you and one for me.
The picture is so lovely.
Everyone continued chatting and asked about Xia Zhi's work. Xia Zhi smiled shyly and said, "I used to work in City S. I have been there for ten years from college to work. I was just transferred here last week and everything is still there.
In the process of adapting.”
"Xia Zhi, where are you from?"
"Jiangnan."
Qiao Xinwei's eyes lit up and she said, "My hometown is also in Jiangnan."
"Yes, then we are really destined."
A thirty-year-old woman gave up her hometown and the place where she had struggled for ten years for a man, and followed the man wholeheartedly with a lot of criticism. This kind of courage is really not something that everyone can achieve.
At the summer solstice, people are just like their namesake, and they are as pale as chrysanthemums.
Ruan Bin said his plan, "I want to discuss it with Shen Jiaying first, but she has gone abroad now and I can't contact her. Just wait for her to call me. There is no problem on her side. It's mainly me.
It’s a bit tricky with dad and her dad.”
"Is she still with that man?" Jiang Hao asked.
Ruan Bin shook his head, "We have always been separate, and we don't care if we don't inquire. We haven't seen each other for two years. She didn't show up even during the New Year. I don't know her current situation. I couldn't get through to her when I called her, so I asked her
Only then did her colleagues in the agency find out that she was on a business trip abroad."
Jiang Hao was quite insightful and said: "Don't conflict with your father. He will definitely object when he hears it at first. If you conflict together, your father will put the responsibility on Xia Zhi."
"I understand, I can't bear it no matter what. They also know about my relationship with Shen Jiaying these years, and they want to have a grandson."
