Two months later, the Lunar New Year.

The Ji family's house.

Sister Li was busy in and out, with the new chef preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Aunt Chen rolled out the dumpling skin, Mrs. Ji was in a happy mood, followed by the hands to make dumplings, in the courtyard, Ji Fanlin with Xiao Zhi was setting fireworks in the yard, holding a long-tube lighter to light one by one.

The points of light flew into the sky, and the sky above the courtyard suddenly shone brightly, blooming like flowers, and the stars suddenly lit up, with a hissing sound.

Ah Sheng held her belly for more than six months, leaning on the porch, since she married Shang Yijun, she has not celebrated the Spring Festival every year, because Shang Yijun has little concept of the traditional New Year, and the general domestic company has annual leave as usual, he will take advantage of the holiday to return to the Italian headquarters, this year Ah Sheng did not want to return to Vancouver, so he took Xiao Zhi to Ji's house for the New Year, and he continued to work.

Two years ago, Mrs. Ji was not in the old house, I thought that this year's Spring Festival would be more lively, but I didn't expect that none of the people who should come back came, Sister Li came over to bring dumplings to the pot, and mentioned in passing, "Mr. Ji and Mr. Chen are still coming over tonight? ”

Suddenly, Aunt Chen was stunned, threw the dumplings she was pinching forward, and patted the flour on her hands: "My Jiatang and Xiao Ji are going to race again, no, I have to call them back." ”

Aunt Chen was delirious, always treating them as teenagers, Mrs. Ji pinched her face and whispered to Sister Li: "Chen Jiatang sent his little girl back to Yunnan, Linchuan don't wait, Miss Yin has an appointment with him, the two of them booked a table in the restaurant, and they won't come tonight." ”

Ah Sheng sighed in his heart after hearing this, she was so anxious to find a new wife for Ji Linchuan, she was not good to intervene directly, in the past two months, everyone has remained silent about the decision made by Ji Linchuan, and Mrs. Ji has spared no effort to match him and the granddaughter of the old Yin.

The next day, Ah Sheng came to Ji Linchuan's residence, and since Sister Yu Yu left, he has not moved back to the old house.

Tengyuan's general assistant Zhi Jie just came out of the house, Ji Linchuan took over Tengyuan for two or three years, even if the board of directors was dissatisfied, but it was still calm, mostly because he was Ouyang Tengyuan's son-in-law and the heir designated by will, and now that he and Ouyang Yuyou divorced, Tengyuan began to have obvious objections to this Ji Zong.

I also heard that the development rights of several mines outside Fansen have changed, and Ji Linchuan has been in trouble during this time.

Ah Sheng followed the stairs to the bedroom, and as soon as he opened the door, a shrill and arrogant cry came from the room.

I saw Ji Linchuan wearing a loose nightgown, leaning cross-legged on the head of the bed, with a white cat lying in his arms, blazing gray-blue eyes, scratching his head and yawning. He had two dark circles under his eyes, his expression was decadent, the glass wine bottles on the floor beside the bed, red wine and spirits, all kinds of wine, staggered, as if he had a drinking party, she couldn't help but roll his eyes: "The beauty had an appointment last night, didn't you sleep well?"

Ji Linchuan ignored her, raised his hand to pick up the wine glass on the bedside table, took a sip, lowered his head and continued to stroke the cat's head, the curtains were closed, the wall lamps were lit in the room, the light shrouded down, the silhouette of his face was lonely and thin, and his eyes were reluctant to leave the cat for a moment.

Ah Sheng walked to pull the curtains, pushed open the glass door of the balcony for ventilation, and suddenly caught a glimpse of an earring on the carpet, she bent over and was inconvenient, so she didn't take a closer look, but she also knew that Sister Yu Yu never wore jewelry, and that thing was naturally brought by a woman outside, Ah Sheng was sullen: "Even if you want to welcome the second spring, can you change your nest and bring people back here?"

There are Ouyang Yuyu's things inside and out, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable looking at it, as well as Yin Yin, who has been talking about Mrs. Ji recently, Ah Sheng is not very clear about the things in the early years, she also just knew that Ji Linchuan still has an ex-girlfriend, listening to Mrs. Ji's meaning, it is to ask him to hurry up and complete the divorce and reconcile with the old Yin's granddaughter.

Ah Sheng saw that he didn't explain, didn't say anything, stretched out his arm to get a sleeping pill, one pill was enough to eat normally, but he swallowed five or six pills in a row, thinking that he had been sleeping badly recently, Ah Sheng scolded him for deserving it, "Brother, you mentioned the divorce, and she should have left, I envied you and Sister Yu You, and envied that you have known each other since childhood, and have had a relationship for so many years." ”

Ah Sheng couldn't help but disdain: "You are a person with a bad temper, but you are the only one who loves her the most, I thought you still have this one advantage, but I didn't expect you to be the same as other men, and your love history is very rich." ”

Ah Sheng was indignant, but he didn't hear a response, when he turned around and saw that he was half leaning on the pillow, he was already sleepy, and when he was groggy, he said something vaguely, Ah Sheng listened carefully, Ji Linchuan muttered: "Why are you so obedient this time......

"Let you go......

"Lao Tzu will forget you, he will definitely forget you......"

The cat in his arms was always lying in the crook of his arm, sleeping with his eyes closed.

Kenting, Taiwan.

Lin Sheng rode his electric car to the street, the sea breeze blowing from the Pacific Ocean swaying the tips of his hair, the noise of playing on the beach not far away, and men and women with surfboards and water tools crossed the sidewalk into 7-Seven to buy drinks.

He stopped at the door of the convenience store, went in to buy ham, omelette, sandwich and rice balls for breakfast, and then went to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables and fruits, and a small bundle of fresh perilla leaves every day was essential.

The doctor said that perilla has the effect of stabilizing the fetus and relieving morning sickness. But she said that it has nothing to do with pregnancy, and she has always liked to eat cold perilla leaves.

She said she liked it, and he made it for her every day.

Lin Sheng returned to his residence with an eco-friendly bag, a house on the outskirts of Kenting, with beige walls, brown tiles, iron chairs on the porch, and a wide view of the surroundings, low flowers and plants, and a few betel nut trees sparsely.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was spreading on the grass, the crisp birdsong was on the branches, he put the ingredients on the log table in the living room, the perilla leaves were washed and dried, the ingredients were cut, the sauce was adjusted, the orange peel was peeled, and the juicer was humming,

The home elevator on the second floor jingled, and she wore a loose knitted sweater and led Sakura down the stairs.

"Breakfast is on the table, you eat first, I'll marinate this, and I'll go over right away. Lin Sheng buried his head and began to cut the perilla leaves, and the blade touched the fresh vegetables, making a creaking sound.

Ouyang Yuyou opened the bag, pinched the soft bread, and took a big bite into her mouth, Lin Sheng put the plate in front of her: "You want to eat this every morning, don't you feel tired?" He said the sandwich in her hand, Ouyang Yuyou smiled and shook his head, picked up the orange juice next to him and drank it.

"You always have to eat this, the nutrition will be unbalanced, tomorrow you will eat something else?"

Ouyang Yuyou put down the cup, hurriedly waved her hand, wiped her mouth and said, "You don't need to change it, I can't eat anything else." ”

He nodded, not forcing her, planning to make dumplings in the evening, in the afternoon there were many people in the market, the door of the low shop was supported by a black shade cloth, and the bustling crowd walked through it, all kinds of seafood, dry goods, vegetables, fruits...... There is everything, Lin Sheng came to buy dumpling wrappers and asked her what kind of dumplings she wanted to eat, she thought about it and said: fennel filling.

And dumplings with this flavor? Lin Sheng was stunned.

"Absolutely. She looked back and smiled and blinked, she was wearing a red woolen coat with a loose and open hem, and she walked flexibly and naturally, especially her natural weak hands and feet, and she was in the early stages of pregnancy, so she couldn't see the posture of a pregnant woman at all.

She led Sakura Sakura to the front and went to the store to pick out dumpling wrappers.

Lin Sheng followed behind, and suddenly received a call from Xu Haorui.

Because of his one-month vacation, the work signed by the contract was fully handed over to Xu Haorui.

Although it is the New Year, the project is still continuing, the decoration of the new house designated by the customer is only one-third, and there are thousands of houses waiting for them to design and decorate the house within half a year.

But Xu Haorui only learned a few days ago that it turned out that the docking with them a few years ago was just a transfer company that contracted real estate decoration with full authority, Lin Sheng and the green pine and blue forest they signed, the real estate business of tens of millions of dollars, the real owner is Tengyuan Real Estate.

Xu Haorui thinks it's nothing, thinking that a large enterprise like Tengyuan, with so many branches, is developing new real estate every year, and contracting the decoration of model houses and serviced apartments to third-party companies to deal with it, which is normal.

But as soon as Lin Sheng heard the word Tengyuan, a cloud of doubts rose in his heart.

After all, this was not the Tengyuan of the Ouyang family at the beginning, and Lin Sheng couldn't be clearer about who the top decision-maker of this company was now.

But the contract was signed by him a year ago, whether it was the decision of Tengyuan's subordinate branch, or Ji Linchuan's instructions, whether there would be any greasy in it, he couldn't judge it for the time being.

Back at the residence, Lin Sheng mixed the fennel filling, and Yingying also had to learn to make dumplings, Ouyang Yuyou whispered softly, taught her how to pinch it by hand, and specially wanted to wrap a red date filling, saying that whoever eats it will be lucky for a whole year.

Sakura Sakura hurt her head that time, fortunately there was no big problem, but after being frightened, she talked less and less, and she was more clingy than before, they have been together for a long time recently, and even sleeping together, Lin Sheng looked at the soft light in front of him, the big and the small were sitting together, the big face was close to the small face, he knew that such days were coming to an end.

It was his idea to take her to Kenting for a vacation, the temperature here is high, the air is good, and it is perfect for her to take care of her body, and she has only been here for less than a month, and she promised to come to Taiwan with him, but only for twenty-eight days.

Twenty-eight days ago, in that city, she suddenly lost contact.

He didn't know what was going on at first, she was gone, no one knew where she was, until one night, he received a call from her mobile phone, but the voice inside was not her, but a girl named Li Xiaoai.

He didn't recognize who she was until he saw her, the strange thing was that she didn't call Ji Linchuan, and she no longer called her Mrs. Ji, but called her Sister Xiaoyou, she said she was in the cemetery, and asked him to persuade her, because she had been kneeling in front of her father's grave for a whole day.

I remember that she said a long time ago that after her father's funeral, she rarely went to see him again, and she didn't even dare to look at the house next to the Ji family's old house, she was afraid that she couldn't help crying. That night, what he saw was the skinny Ouyang Yuyou, her head on the tombstone of Mr. Ouyang, refusing to leave, she cried so much that her whole body was weak, she didn't make a sound, she endured and grieved.

The wind was cold at night, and the branches of the pine and cypress trees in the darkness were like the fangs of a vicious beast.

She was like a porcelain statue excavated from the clay, kneeling and leaning forward, her face pressed against the cold stele, not moving, only a pair of eyes like springs, constantly crying, she was getting thinner and thinner, her eyes were deep-set, her eyebrow bones were prominent, and she said she was sorry for her father.

Why did she suddenly become like this? What happened to her, Lin Sheng didn't know, it took him a lot of effort to take her away from the cemetery, her hands were cold, but her whole body was very hot, Lin Sheng held her right hand, and accidentally found that the wedding ring on her middle finger was missing, Xiao Ai handed him the only thing she had with her, but some documents, nothing else.

"Lin Sheng. ”

After dinner, he returned to the room, Xu Haorui sent the progress of the real estate decoration, and was looking at it carefully, but when she suddenly came in, she said with a stubborn gaze: "Let's go back." ”

She signed the divorce agreement, but she has not officially gone through the formalities.

She said to go back.

So on the third day of the Lunar New Year, they left Kenting.

After the return plane landed, Ouyang Yu's mobile phone that she hadn't turned on for a long time instantly poured in countless information calls.
