After Yunyi returned to her room, she initially intended to lie down and rest for a while, but ended up falling asleep straight away.
She had left home too early today and didn’t have time to wash the clothes she changed out of yesterday.
When Huo Jingrui finished washing the clothes and came back, he saw Yunyi asleep, and quickly fetched a blanket to cover her.
Watching his sleeping wife, he remembered many things from the past, and slowly his thoughts drifted far away...

At the Beijing traffic police third brigade, the phone in Zhou Zhijun’s office rang: "Hello, who is this?"
"Old Zhou, it’s Zhang Shanyuan."
"Shanyuan, why are you calling?"
"Do you have any plans after work?"
"Nothing at the moment, what’s up?"
"Jingrui is treating tonight, do you want to come join us?"
"What’s the occasion?"
"You were on a business trip earlier, so you might not know, but Jingrui got married. Tonight, he’s bringing his wife out to meet us old buddies. Oh, and Jingrui mentioned some friends from school who are coming too. I wouldn’t have known you were back if I hadn’t run into your second brother just now."
"Sure, I’ll definitely come. I wondered why I came over today; a colleague told me that a buddy called me a few days ago looking for me. They said they put the registration info paper on my desk, but after looking for half a day, I couldn’t find it. I was wondering who was looking for me."
"It must have been Jingrui, no doubt."
"Alright, tell me the place, I’ll head over after work."
Since it was almost time to head out, she washed up and changed into clothes suitable for going out, prepared the bag she needed, and then went downstairs.
As soon as Yunyi stepped on the stairs, she heard Jiang Jingya say: "In-laws, it’s not that I don’t want to intervene, but Gaodi is not in Beijing right now; even if I wanted to help, I couldn’t. Besides, they’ve been married for almost ten years, and you should know Gaodi’s temperament. As you mentioned, Zhuangyu told you the reason for their argument, who do you think is at fault?"
These words left Shen Qiuye feeling quite embarrassed.
The reason Jiang Jingya was so blunt was because she didn’t have a good impression of the Duan family, a family full of trickery.
Take today, for example: since your daughter told you about the incident, she must know who’s in the wrong. If you won’t educate your own daughter, fine, but you come here to make others uncomfortable.
How can she, who is only a stepmother, handle affairs between a married couple?
Moreover, the origin of their conflict was because Duan Zhuangyu stirred up trouble here; what is her real intention by coming here? Her words sound nice, but nobody is a fool.
