He broke the precept for her, and his ex’s brother-in-law was tempted first.

Chapter 67 of Chapter 66: Peaceful departure
Shen Ye was a little confused.

"That's right, a high school classmate came here on a business trip recently. He just called me and asked us to have dinner together. You just happened to be back, so let's join him by the way."

Shen Ye frowned slightly, "Okay."

"Then hurry up, it's still the same place."

Shen Ye hung up the phone and told the driver, who drove out of the airport without saying anything.

On the way, Shen Ye opened his phone and checked a circle of messages, and finally stopped in Lu Wanxia's WeChat Moments.

Yesterday, she made a rare post. It contained a nine-square grid, with the scenery in the front and a photo of Lu Wanxia and He Xiao in the back.

In the photo, Lu Wanxia is without makeup, with beautiful eyebrows and moist skin. It can be seen that she took good care of herself during the days when Shen Ye left, and she looks radiant.

He Xiao left a comment below: Baby, come and kiss me, you are so beautiful, you look so good without makeup, come on!
Lu Wanxia replied: Stay away from me, you damn ghost.

He Xiao: Why, why don’t you kiss me? Are you thinking about some stinky man?
Lu Wanxia: Gangster!

He Xiao: If I were a man, I would have dealt with you long ago!

Lu Wanxia: Fortunately you are not a man.

He Xiao: Hey, if it hadn’t been like this, I would have fought with those stinky men.

The two of them were quarreling like elementary school students, probably because they felt that they had little overlap as WeChat friends, so they didn't worry about being made fun of.

Shen Ye rarely saw Lu Wanxia look so animated. With a smile on his lips, he clicked on her message interface and sent her a message: Fortunately, He Xiao is not a man.

After a while, Lu Wanxia replied to him: Huh?
Shen Ye: Nothing.

Lu Wanxia: Okay.

Lu Wanxia probably didn't understand what he meant, but she didn't ask a word.

Shen Ye's fingertips paused on the screen for a while, and the conversation between the two suddenly stopped. After a pause, Shen Ye asked: What are you doing?
Lu Wanxia: Going to the hospital for a follow-up visit with her mother.

Shen Ye: Is there any result?

Lu Wanxia: Very good.

Shen Ye: That’s good.

Lu Wanxia: Thank you.

The two of them had nothing to say at this point. Chatting on the phone was like this. You never knew when you would stop talking. It was much colder than talking in person.

The most important thing about face-to-face is that you can notice the other person's feedback and interact better.

Shen Ye really wanted to see her now, but unfortunately she was traveling with her mother, so it was really inconvenient.

Arriving at the place agreed with Shangguan Lie, Shen Ye was taken to the private room by the waiter. As soon as he entered, a group of people gathered around him, with Shangguan Lie walking at the front.

Seeing Shen Ye come in, Shangguan Lie introduced to him one by one the people at today's dinner party. They were all high school classmates. Now they are distributed in all walks of life, and most of them are successful people.

At the dinner, Shen Ye acted in his usual calm and leisurely manner. After just a few words of greeting, everyone sat down together and started smoking, drinking and chatting.

But Shen Ye didn't drink, he only smoked there. When he said he didn't want to drink, others didn't have the guts to persuade him, they were all used to it.

Everyone gathered together to chat. Compared with the enthusiasm of others, Shen Ye's dullness at the moment seemed a bit out of place.

Shangguan Lie noticed his state and came over to bump into him, "What's going on? You look so tired?"

"Okay."

Chen Ye dusted off the cigarette ashes. The rising smoke briefly obscured his facial features and then slowly drifted away.

"Are you jet lagged? Do you want to go home and take a rest first?"

"Fortunately, I won't need it for now."

Shangguan Lie looked at him and felt strange, "Why do I think you are so lost today? What's going on?"

Shen Ye turned to look at him, "Dejected?"

Then he laughed to himself and said, "It's nothing."

Shangguan Lie thought of something and got closer to him, "I heard some gossip about you, do you want to listen?"

"mine?"

There was obvious confusion on Shen Ye's face, what was there to gossip about.Shangguan Lie was surprised, "You don't know?"

"I do not know."

How did Shen Ye know about gossip? He is not that kind of person and has never cared much about such things.

Shangguan Lie smiled, "Didn't Jiang Zhao go to the entertainment industry to develop?"

"Ah."

Shangguan Lie took out his mobile phone and showed it to him, "You will know after you take a look."

Shifting his gaze to the screen in front of him, Shen Ye's brows tightened instantly, "When did this happen?"

"You were posted online right after you picked her up. Don't ignore the capabilities of the paparazzi. They move very quickly now."

Shangguan Lie felt that he understood it quite well.

Shen Ye didn't even bother to look at him.

"Now that Jiang Zhao is a star, he is quite popular. If you are not careful, you will be photographed, and you will almost be affected. Please read the comments below."

Shen Ye's expression turned ugly, he stood up and planned to leave.

Shangguan Lie: "Where do you plan to go?"

Everyone looked over when they heard the sound, "Why are you leaving?"

"Sorry, I have something to do at the moment, so you can get together first."

After saying that, Shen Ye strode out of the door with a very crisp movement.

Shangguan Lie helped smooth things over, "Shen Ye has just come from the airport. He is probably jet lag and needs to go back to rest. Leave him alone and we can talk among ourselves."

Shen Ye asked the driver to drive, but he couldn't drive in his own condition.

While waiting, he called Lu Wanxia.

Lu Wanxia was cooking when the call came. Today happened to be the weekend and she didn't have to go to work.

There was something wrong with the range hood in the kitchen and it couldn't be turned on. Lu Wanxia was sweating profusely due to the heat, but Lu's mother was worried about money and was unwilling to turn on the air conditioner.

Lu Wanxia couldn't help but had to open it. He washed his face with cold water before walking out of the kitchen.

Mother Lu held her cell phone in her hand, with a smile on her face, "Wan Xia, your friend's phone number."

"friend?"

Noticing that the call was connected, Lu Wanxia felt a little nervous for a moment, "I'll answer it."

She walked to the balcony and then dared to speak, "Hello?"

On the opposite side was Shen Ye's voice, "I called you just now and my aunt picked up the phone. I'm sorry."

No wonder her mother's expression was a little ambiguous just now. Lu Wanxia pursed her lips and asked, "Did you mention something?"

"No, I said I was your friend."

Lu Wanxia felt a little more relieved now. In this way, she could still deceive her mother, "Then you called me because something happened?"

Shen Ye then asked, "Are you free tonight?"

"Aren't you on a business trip? Have you returned to the company?"

Lu Wanxia deliberately lowered his voice.

"Well, I just came back."

Lu Wanxia understood what he was thinking, "We can't leave now."

"Then how long will it take for you to finish?"

"I probably won't be able to go out today. I have to take care of my mother at home."

Lu Wanxia told the truth. She didn't deliberately make excuses, but it was really hard for her mother to leave people.

"Can't you do it even for a little while?"
