Marrying a powerful man: The third master is wild and untamable

Chapter 45 She wants to see Zhou Cibai with her own eyes
  Zhou Cibai...

How could Shen Xiuwan forget this name? !
  That was Jincheng's childhood love, the woman who had dominated his entire youth.

She felt vaguely uneasy. From the corner of her eye, she saw Shuangshuang playing games with her brother and sister, and she felt a little more at ease.

A full ten years have passed since Jincheng and Zhou Cibai broke up.

And she has been married to Jincheng for seven years.

They already had children, were already a decent small family, and had already understood each other's deepest secrets. She did not believe that Jincheng would abandon her and her daughter for the young Bai Yueguang.

What's more, Zhou Cibai is already married, right?
  Thinking of this, she said softly: "Yunzhu, thank you for telling me, but their story has ended for ten years, and they each have families. I think even if they meet again in Yanjing, they will not-" —”

"Third sister-in-law," Yunzhu interrupted, "Zhou Cibai is divorced."

This simple sentence was like thunder on the ground to Shen Xiuwan.

Yunzhu pulled her into the garden to talk: "I have met Zhou Cibai many times during the three years I have been in Europe. She is married to a rich French man and has not had children because she has been busy with her career. In recent years, The couple had a bad relationship and chose to divorce peacefully.

"She received a large fortune, and her own career has flourished. She is famous in the field of European fashion design. There is no doubt that she is already a rich woman. She is even more stunning than when she was a teenager."

Shen Xiuwan listened quietly.

She imagined Zhou Cibai's dazzling fame abroad, and recalled her tradition of staying at home to take care of her daughter every day. She suddenly realized for the first time what "fireflies are to moonlight."

She is not as good as Zhou Cibai.

She whispered: "Miss Zhou... is an amazing woman."

"I heard that she returned to China this time to find design inspiration and develop the domestic fashion market." Yunzhu curled her lips, "But I guess she must also want to meet her third brother. They haven't seen each other in ten years. ...By the way, she returned to China yesterday, and the brothers from the Bai family seemed to have held a reception banquet for her at the Yanjing Hotel. Maybe the third brother also went, they have been playing together since they were children. I grew up wearing a pair of pants!”

yesterday……

Shen Xiuwan was stunned.

Yesterday, Adjutant Fang called and said that Jincheng was celebrating with ministry officials at the Yanjing Hotel.

She wrung her hands uneasily, and the haze hidden in her heart gradually expanded.

Is it possible that Jincheng didn't celebrate with the ministry officials at all, but went to see Zhou Cibai?

But she, Shen Xiuwan, was not a stingy person. He wanted to see the person he loved when he was young, and she would not let her petty temper stop him from going. Why did he choose to hide it from her?

unless……

Unless he still has ulterior motives for Zhou Cibai, so he doesn't want her to know.

She wanted to call Jincheng immediately and ask him where he was and whether he had gone to see Zhou Cibai.

But she knew she couldn't.

That would make her look like a jealous crazy woman.

Shen Xiuwan closed her eyes and managed to suppress her panic.

"Third sister-in-law," Yunzhu reminded, "in my opinion, you have to be careful about Zhou Cibai, but you can't do it too obviously, otherwise you will appear too stingy. Fortunately, you still have Shuangshuang. Although my third brother is sometimes quite Asshole, but I don’t think he would abandon his wife and daughter.”

Mentioning her daughter, Shen Xiuwan's panic eased slightly.

"Look, you're just talking about me and your third brother, and I didn't even take a good look at you."

Shen Xiuwan has also missed Yunzhu very much in the past three years.

She focused her attention on Yunzhu, a tall girl with retro Roman palace curls and a white lace square-neck top paired with an ankle-length light purple skirt. She looked as beautiful as a doll.

She smiled and said: "Yunzhu is getting more and more beautiful. Have you ever had a boyfriend in France?"

When it comes to having a boyfriend, Yunzhu lowers her eyelashes and gently kicks away a small stone: "I'm studying painting and have a heavy workload, so how can I have time to have a boyfriend? Well, I'm not in a hurry to get married. I'm looking at marriage. That's all." She said words that she didn't care about, but her tone could not conceal her disappointment.

Shen Xiuwan knew that she was probably still thinking about the male student named Gu Lingjun.

It's just that the crowd is huge, and three years have passed, and I'm afraid the other party is no longer in Yanjing.

In the afternoon, Fu Jincheng still hadn't returned home.

Yunzhu taught Shuangshuang how to paint in the living room. People from the Bai family sent Shen Xiuwan an invitation, saying that it was the birthday of the eldest young master Bai Yuanjing, and asked her to go there tomorrow.

Yunzhu taught Shuangshuang how to draw the sun and clouds step by step, and said, "Bai Yuanjing must have invited Zhou Cibai to his birthday. Third sister-in-law, if you go to the banquet, you will probably bump into her."

Shen Xiuwan held the invitation tightly.

She was very willing to see Zhou Cibai with her own eyes.

She nodded and said, "I'll go."

The next day.

Shen Xiuwan dressed up specially. Not only did she put on a newly made turquoise embroidered cheongsam, but she also wore a set of pearl jewelry. Her skin was fair and moist, which made her suitable for wearing pearls.

Unfortunately, the weather was not good when we went out. As soon as the car drove to Bai Mansion, autumn rain began to fall from the sky.

There was no umbrella in the car, so she hurriedly ran from the gate into Bai Mansion. The splashing raindrops wet the edge of her cheongsam, making her look a little embarrassed.

The people invited to Bai Mansion today were all young men and women, and it was already becoming lively.

Shen Xiuwan took the towel handed by the servant and wiped her face, and heard a gentle voice: "Third Madam."

She looked.

Bai Yuanjing was still wearing a silk robe, with golden Buddhist beads hanging from his wrists. He pushed up his tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses and greeted her with a smile.

She quickly responded: "Doctor Bai - no, it's time to call you Dean Bai. Dean Bai, I wish you a happy birthday."

Although Bai Yuanjing is young and comes from a noble family, in the past three years, he has relied on his excellent medical skills to save lives and heal the wounded, and has made a name for himself in Yanjing City. He also opened a hospital with his own money and served as the director himself.

Bai Yuanjing smiled warmly and raised his hand in greeting: "The first floor is too noisy and noisy. I'll invite the third lady to go upstairs for a cup of hot tea. On a rainy day like this, it's suitable to calm down and enjoy tea."

He always had a humble and courteous attitude.

A tea table is arranged on the balcony.

Shen Xiuwan sat down and glanced around subconsciously.

Bai Yuanjing sat opposite her: "Jincheng hasn't come yet."

With her thoughts easily revealed, Shen Xiuwan couldn't help but feel a trace of embarrassment on her face.

Bai Yuanjing made her a cup of tea and pushed a plate full of snacks in front of her: "These are biscuits my brother brought back from Hong Kong. My mother likes them very much, and the third lady also wants to try them."

"Thank you..."

It was hard to reject the kindness, so Shen Xiuwan picked up a piece.

But her heart was full of Fu Jincheng.

She originally planned to come to Bai Mansion to celebrate her birthday with Jincheng, but she couldn't contact him at all.

She didn't know where Jincheng had gone or whether he was accompanying Zhou Cibai.

She chewed the biscuits, but she couldn't taste them at all.
