Chapter 56
I looked back at the sound and saw a familiar and distant face appearing at the door of the tea room.

I never thought it would be Zeng Lili.

…………

The tea room opposite the mariposa.

The waiter put down the tea, smiled and walked out.

Zeng Lili held the teacup in both hands, smiled at me, and said, "I just went back to Jiangcheng a week ago. I searched all over the architects but couldn't find you. The place where you lived was also sold. I didn't expect you to change careers." Yes. Why, you are so talented?"

I looked at the tea leaves tumbling and floating in the cup, and said indifferently, "Then why did you change careers?"

Zeng Lili was obviously taken aback. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea before saying, "I don't have the talent you had back then? How have you been doing these years?"

"Not bad." I answered calmly.

The atmosphere was a little gloomy and awkward.

After a while, I heard her say: "Why don't you ask me where I have been and what I have done all these years?"

I took a deep breath and raised my eyes to meet hers, and said, "I don't want to know."

Her fingers holding the water glass trembled slightly, and she laughed at herself: "Really? We were so good back then, we talked about everything...We were both young at the time, and I thought some things could fade away after a long time. "

"So it was a misunderstanding back then?" I asked straight away.

Zeng Lili was obviously taken aback.

I said again: "Misunderstandings can be overcome, but betrayal cannot." I stood up while speaking, "If you like him, you can compete fairly with me. There is really no need to do that."

She looked up at me, with tears in her eyes, and she smiled helplessly: "Have you ever fought? Brother Ji has you in his heart."

I looked at her calmly and said, "That's because you are incapable, no wonder others."

She lowered her head, stroking the water glass with her fingers.

I looked away and said, "That's it, don't meet again in the future."

After speaking, I went straight out.

"Ling Zhi!" Zeng Lili chased me out, and I walked quickly, she followed directly, and said, "I apologized at the beginning, why are you still so unfeeling? Can't you forgive me? We Can't we be friends anymore?"

I sneered and said, "Emotionally, I have always been unfeeling." I stopped suddenly, looked back at her, and asked directly, "Have you given up on him? Have you stopped liking him?"

Zeng Lili originally wanted to say something, but when she heard my question, she froze suddenly.Unwillingness to speak clearly flashed in the bright eyes.

I instantly understood that Zeng Lili still had Ji Shaoyi in his heart!

I couldn't help smiling, looked at her coldly, and said, "I can't even forgive my own mother, why should I forgive you?"

This so-called best friend of mine helped others to plot against me when I was most desperate and helpless. Six years later, she still likes the man I love. Why should I keep such a time bomb by my side? !

I took a deep breath and turned to cross the road.

But I didn't want a car to turn the corner. I didn't pay attention, and I didn't recover until the driver honked his horn hard.

The car rushed towards me, and the driver obviously stepped on the brakes, but it still didn't help.

Just when my heart almost jumped out, someone pulled me from behind me, I instinctively fell backwards, and landed directly on Zeng Lili's body.

The car stopped in front of us for a while, and the driver rolled down the window to see that we were all right, hurriedly kicked the accelerator and fled in a panic.

I quickly got up from the ground, and Zeng Lili stood up, covering his elbows and frowning.

"Are you OK?"

"Are you OK?"

The two asked almost at the same time, and then both were stunned.

Zeng Lili finally smiled: "I'm fine, why don't you look at the car while walking?"

If you care as naturally as you did back then...

My nose was a little sour, and I was in a trance, but my reason told me that everything back then was long gone.

"Thank you." I clenched my fist slightly and said.

Zeng Lili forced a smile, I looked down at the time and said, "I have to go back."

"Okay." She nodded.

When I turned around, I instinctively glanced at her hand covering her elbow, and suddenly found a smear of scarlet flowing down through her fingers. I walked a few steps, and finally turned around again.

"Lingzhi?" Zeng Lili looked at me in surprise.

…………

After Liang Xiao bandaged Zeng Lili, he explained solemnly: "Don't touch the water for a few days, and don't bend your arms. The wound is not easy to scab here."

Zeng Lili nodded.

"Thank you, Dr. Liang." I said hastily.

Liang Xiao looked at me a little strangely, as if he wanted to say something, but because there were others around, it was hard to say.

Outside, a nurse came in to look for Liang Xiao, and he finally went out.

Zeng Lili stood up, and I reached out to help her get the bag and handed it to her.She was taken aback for a moment before answering: "Ling Zhi..."

"Don't think about it." I interrupted her and said, "You helped me first today, so I helped you. Also, we are no longer friends, but we are not enemies either."

I opened the door and signaled her to go out first.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally walked out.

I caught a nurse by the way and asked her to tell Liang Xiao that we are leaving first.

Since Zeng Lili's place of work happened to be on the same road as Mariposa, we took a taxi.

When I got downstairs in Mariposa, I saw Ji Shao striding out of the building as soon as I got out of the car. When he saw me, he simply ran.

"Are you all right, Xiaozhi?" Ji Shaoyi asked worriedly while holding my hand.

I frowned, thinking that even Ji Shaoyi knew about my almost accident?But no, how could he know?
He hurriedly said: "I heard that some reporters came to Mariposa to interview you. I know you don't like this method. I asked Rui Ting to tell those reporters not to come to you. Why are there still people who are so ignorant!"

It turned out that what he said was the matter.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Ji Shaoyi looking over my shoulder and looking behind me in surprise...

"Ji, Senior Brother Ji..." Zeng Lili's voice came from behind me.

I frowned and turned around, seeing that she also got off the taxi at some point, and she looked at Ji Shaoyi clearly with unconcealable love and longing.

I vigilantly squeezed Ji Shaoyi's hand and moved closer to him.

He seemed to understand my thoughts, so he simply put his arms around my shoulders, and looked at the person in front of him coldly: "Why are you here?" His eyes sank, and his words were slightly cold, "Is that reporter you?"

Zeng Lili took a step forward and explained, "Don't be angry, I'm here because..."

"Don't come to see Xiaozhi again!" He interrupted Zeng Lili with a frown, pulled me back and turned to leave.

I couldn't help looking back, Zeng Lili's eyes fell directly on Ji Shaoyi's back, full of grievances.

Ji Shaoyi took me and walked quickly into the building. I held his hand instead and walked to the rest area on the ground floor.

"Why don't you go up?" he asked me in a low voice.

I pushed him to sit down, looked at him condescendingly, and then asked seriously: "Have you met her? Otherwise, how would you know she is a reporter? Also, why do you hate her so much? It seems that she didn't offend you back then, right?"

Ji Shaoyi seemed a little nervous at first, but after listening to my question, he said: "What kind of person do you think my mother is? You don't really think that my mother will match me and Zeng Lili afterwards, do you? After taking advantage of Zeng Lili, she turned around and told me that Zeng Lili deliberately took me to watch you sell design drafts, such a person, how can I still have good things to say about her?"

After hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it seems that what I said at the beginning was correct, Zeng Lili is just a pawn of Madam Ji, but Madam Ji's method of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge is enough.

He breathed out, held my hand, and said, "Secretary Feng came to Mariposa to get the documents. I heard from Ji Baojia that you went out with a reporter. He said it was a woman and that you should have known each other earlier. I didn't expect that at the time." Who is it, I naturally thought of it when I saw her." He paused, and said a little nervously, "What are you thinking? Why do you ask me such a thing?"

I shook my head, sat down beside him, hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "It's nothing, I just think that everything has gone too smoothly these days, so smooth...it makes me flustered."

He smiled lightly, lowered his head and kissed my forehead, and said dotingly: "I will block the sky from falling, so you don't have to worry about anything. Also, don't interrogate me like a prisoner again in the future!"

"Where am I...?"

"No?" He suddenly pushed me away and stood up. His proud height gave people a heavy sense of oppression. He looked down at me and said, "Why are you willing to go out with her? Where did you go? You still took a car , you don’t want to reconcile with her because the scar is healed and the pain is forgotten, right?”

He kept asking, I looked up at his serious face, and suddenly remembered the way I asked him before, it really looked like a prisoner.

I was so funny that I stood up and told the whole story, and then said: "I can see that she still likes you, but I'm not that stupid to treat a rival in love as a good friend, don't worry."

"Yeah." Ji Shaoyi finally smiled again, pulled me over and said, "Okay, you go up first, I have a meeting later. When Rui Ting comes back tonight, we will pick up the plane together."

I was taken aback: "I'm going too?"

He nodded and said, "Of course, it's time to formally introduce you to each other."

…………

Later, until I got off work and went all the way to the airport, I was very nervous.

It's not that he hasn't seen Nan Ruiting before, but at this moment, he feels like an ugly daughter-in-law seeing her in-laws.

I huddled in the car and didn't want to go out. Ji Shaoyi had no choice but to pick him up by himself.

There were sounds of cars coming and going in the parking lot, and people walked by from time to time. Because Ji Shaoyi adjusted the glass, I don't have to be afraid that others will see me sitting inside.

After an unknown amount of time, I suddenly heard footsteps coming directly. I turned around and saw someone opened the door of the back seat.

Nan Ruiting came in from the back seat wearing a hat and sunglasses. As soon as she saw me, she immediately asked, "Hey, Shen Lingzhi, why didn't you pick me up?"

I don't feel stunned.

She looked at Ji Shaoyi who was sitting in the cab again, and said, "She has performed too badly, and I will not withdraw from this marriage!"
