When it comes to fate, it usually takes one person making a deliberate effort for things to happen.
If someone truly wanted to cut ties, they would have completely changed their contact information long ago, leaving no chance to get in touch.
As the two were talking, Shen Yuchu drove up. Seeing them just standing by the roadside, he rolled down his window. "Sister-in-law, isn’t my brother here yet?"
Jiang Li shook her head. "He should be here soon, though. You two can go on ahead."
’I sent Shen Yanzhi a message when we finished, so he should be on his way now.’
’Unless he fell asleep, of course.’
Shen Yuchu waved a hand. "It’s just a little while longer. Get in and wait with us. It’s so cold out here, you’ll catch a cold."
Jiang Li was about to say it wasn’t necessary, but Zhou Jiawen grabbed her by the arm and pulled her toward the car.
’On such a cold day, she couldn’t bear to let Jiang Li freeze outside.’
’This was a woman who could drop tens of millions on a bag without batting an eye. Zhou Jiawen had completely accepted Jiang Li as her sister-in-law. Otherwise, she never would have introduced her to Zhao Xia and Yang Mei.’
She’d overheard Shen Yuchu mention that Jiang Li was planning to start her own company.
’And even though she didn’t know what kind of business it would be, getting her connected with Zhao Xia and Yang Mei was sure to be a help.’
The moment they got in the car, Zhou Jiawen reported the day’s results to Shen Yuchu. "You won’t believe it! Sister-in-law took on all three of us today and won 6,800."
Shen Yuchu couldn’t help but turn to look back at Jiang Li. "Whoa, Sister-in-law, not bad! You’ve really got some skills!"
’Winning 6,800 in just a few hours... she must have some real skill.’
’When Zhou Jiawen told him she was going to ask Jiang Li to play mahjong, he had been worried Jiang Li wouldn’t know how to play. Turns out he was overthinking things.’
’She doesn’t just know how to play—she wins.’
Jiang Li waved her hand. "No, I just got lucky."
’The truth is, every time we did the three-tile exchange, the tiles I got back were exactly what I needed. Otherwise, there’s no way I could have swept the table like that.’
"And that’s not all! Sister-in-law also treated us to dinner at the Holy Court, followed by massages, karaoke, and barbecue."
Zhou Jiawen finished recounting the evening’s itinerary, then threw herself into Jiang Li’s arms without a care. "I’ve decided! From now on, I’m sticking with Sister-in-law!"
Jiang Li was startled, not expecting Zhou Jiawen to be so forward.
But she wasn’t put off by it and chuckled, "Stick with me, and you’ll get nothing but grief."
Zhou Jiawen grinned widely. "Forget getting grief, I’d follow you even if all I had to eat was air."
Jiang Li was joking, but Zhou Jiawen was speaking from the heart.
She genuinely wanted to be Jiang Li’s follower and ride her golden coattails.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuchu shot Zhou Jiawen an aggrieved look in the rearview mirror. "You’ve only known Sister-in-law for a day, and you’re already abandoning me for her? Have I not fed you well enough? Have I failed to clothe you?"
Zhou Jiawen huffed and retorted, "It’s not that you don’t provide for me, but you’re not as gorgeous as Sister-in-law. And that is your fatal flaw."
’At least, among all the women she knew, Jiang Li was the most beautiful. She could rival a movie star.’
’If Jiang Li ever went into show business, she would undoubtedly be a massive star.’
’They say some people are dangerously beautiful, and with looks like Jiang Li’s, she’d attract a huge following based on her face alone.’
’That palm-sized, oval face, those enchanting almond eyes, the long, curled lashes, the high-bridged nose, and the small, cherry-like mouth—it was a face so perfect it looked like a 3D model.’
’She couldn’t even imagine how gorgeous Jiang Li and Shen Yanzhi’s children would be.’
Shen Yuchu cried out to the heavens, "We live in such a superficial, looks-obsessed age!"
Jiang Li couldn’t help but laugh at the two of them.
’No wonder they say couples start to act alike. These two jesters belonged together, period.’
Suddenly, a phone rang.
She took it out and saw it was Shen Yanzhi.
She immediately sat up straight. "Ah Yan."
Zhou Jiawen, who had been draped over Jiang Li, sat up and looked around, but she didn’t see Shen Yanzhi anywhere.
With his hazard lights flashing, Shen Yanzhi was looking around from inside his car. "I’m at the location you sent, but I don’t see you."
’Even though it’s crowded, a quick scan didn’t reveal any sign of Jiang Li.’
’Either she’s already left, or she found a place to sit down.’
’He was betting on the latter.’
Upon spotting the familiar license plate, the corners of Jiang Li’s mouth curved up. "I see you now."
Hanging up, she said to Zhou Jiawen, "Drive safe. Text me when you get home."
Zhou Jiawen waved reluctantly. "Bye, Sister-in-law~"
After getting out of the car, Jiang Li grabbed her bag and strode toward his car.
Seeing Jiang Li, Shen Yanzhi got out of the driver’s seat, took off his own down jacket, and draped it over her shoulders. "Sorry to keep you waiting."
