I sat in the car, sipping sweet fruit tea.
I used to be so busy working like a slave that I could only force myself to cheer up by drinking bitter, unpalatable iced Americano.
The benefit of rebirth is that I can relive the happy days of a little girl.
After the two of them cried enough, we got in the car. Seeing the smile on my face, Jiang Zhi snorted, "Why are you in the car? What bad luck."
She didn't know what she was about to face.
But I was in a good mood and didn't argue with her.
When the car arrived at the Lu family's house, she looked confused. "Mom, why are we here? I just want to go home and take a shower."
Lin Hui's face was very uneasy. She couldn't tell Jiang Zhi that they had been kicked out. "By the way, where's my dad? Why didn't he come to pick me up?"
I crossed my arms. "Do you think you're the newly crowned top scholar, riding a horse back home? The thought of welcoming you is ridiculous."
"Jiang Wanwan, don't think you can act recklessly just because you're married to a man. Be careful, or I'll tell Dad and make him..."
This silly girl has been in jail for a day, and she hasn't shown any remorse. She's still so clueless.
If I let her continue like this, who knows what trouble she'll get into in the future.
But she'll soon learn what it feels like to be beaten by society.
"Okay, Zhi'er, stop talking!" Lin Hui scolded in a low voice.
Jiang Zhi vaguely sensed something was wrong, so I rolled my eyes at her. "Okay, go to the guest room, shower, and change your clothes. Come back out later to sign."
"Sign what?"
"You'll find out soon."
I opened the car door and got out, having the servant take her to wash up.
After Jiang Zhi was brought to the living room, I was wearing a beautifully tailored cheongsam, shoes off, and lazily slouched on the sofa. After being a slave for half her life, she deserves to enjoy herself.
Lin Hui fidgeted restlessly on the sofa across from me. Jiang Zhi looked at Shen Ji behind me, feeling a little nervous.
"Mom, why are we here at the Lu family?"
Shen Ji threw a pile of documents in front of her and said coldly, "Sign it."
When she saw that they were property transfer documents, her face immediately changed. "What's going on? Mom, tell me!"
Tearfully, Lin Hui recounted the entire process. Jiang Zhi flew into a rage and tore up the agreement in front of her.
"I won't sign it!"
"Okay, you don't have to sign it."
I chuckled. "Since I can get you out, I can also have Yan Chen send you back. But next time, you'll be in jail for life. Based on what you did to me before, I can just buy off some thugs in prison and make you live a life worse than death for the rest of your life."
"Jiang Wanwan, you bitch, you have such a cruel heart! Where's my dad? I want to see him."
She called, but found she'd been blocked! "Don't worry about it. Dad has agreed to return to the family and part ways with you and your daughter. So don't call me Dad anymore. You don't deserve it."
Shen Ji handed over another contract. "Miss Jiang, you can tear it up again. But whichever finger you use to tear it, I'll break that finger."
Jiang Zhi was terrified, yet unwilling to give in.
After a tantrum, Shen Ji still forced her to sign.
Perhaps this mother and daughter still harbored illusions, and Jiang Qing was only temporarily angry. Once he calmed down, he would naturally accept her again.
As for me, I just needed to wait for such an opportunity. By then, Jiang Qing would have no excuses and would be forced to divorce!
When Jiang Zhi left, I kindly transferred her 20,000 yuan.
A young lady like her would probably spend all that money in less than a day. But what would she do after she did? After the two were sent away, I instructed Shen Ji, "Brother Ji, please find someone to keep an eye on them."
"Don't worry, ma'am. The master has already given instructions."
"Okay."
I glanced at the sky outside. "Chinese New Year is just a few days away..."
The students had already gone on holiday, and from time to time I could hear the sound of children playing with firecrackers.
At this time in the past, I was still frantically handling work matters for Lu Shiyan.
I was so busy that I returned to the Su family on New Year's Eve, only to find that my family had already eaten. To them, it made no difference whether I was there or not.
But this New Year's Eve, Su Nanfeng and I were both dead.
How would they celebrate?
Thinking about it, I felt a little sleepy, and fell into a deep sleep.
I didn't know when Lu Yanchen returned, but the moment I opened my eyes, I met those gentle eyes that gazed upon me.
Seeing him made me feel at ease. I hooked my arms around his neck and, using my hands and knees to climb on top of him, my voice still hoarse from just waking up: "Are you back?"
"Yeah, I used to think it was nothing when I was busy, but now that I know you're waiting for me at home, I always look forward to finishing things quickly, waiting until it's dark, so I can be home early to have dinner with you."
He spoke so naturally, and my heart warmed.
"Yanchen, I'm kind of looking forward to New Year's Eve this year. With you by my side, I'm not alone anymore."
He leaned down and kissed me. "Me too."
After that kiss, my breathing became irregular.
I looked at him tenderly. "Do I look good?"
Wanwan has a great figure, especially in a cheongsam, which really shows off her whole body. The man looked at my long legs and curvy figure and murmured, "It looks good."
I leaned close to his ear and said, "Because I put it on especially for Brother A-Yan to see."
My breath gradually tinged his ears with a blush, and I whispered in his ear, "Besides New Year's Eve, I also look forward to the evening. Brother, do you understand me?"
"I think we can give it a try..."
