Chapter 226 He deserved to run into a brick wall.
In late August, although the beginning of autumn had passed, the sweltering heat of summer had not dissipated in the slightest, and the wind carried the heat everywhere.
An Xiaoyue has finished her postpartum confinement period. Today, her family held a postpartum confinement ceremony for her and invited relatives and close friends to Fuyuan to have a meal together.
Both families gathered together, and Teacher Zhou and Teacher Zhong also brought Zhong Ling to visit.
An Jiaren and Leng Shi warmly greeted them.
An Jiaren smiled like spring sunshine, warm and comforting, "Teacher Zhou, I miss you so much."
Teacher Zhou was in high spirits when she heard about the happy event. She took her hand and said, "That's right, we've both been too busy lately."
"That's right, Lingxi's house is finished being renovated too."
"That's about it. We can take our time with the rest of the soft furnishings."
As the two were talking, they arrived at the place called Buzhichun.
"Please sit here." An Jiaren introduced to Teacher Zhou, "This is my sister-in-law, Fang Mei, a very capable older sister who is incredibly kind to me."
"It's clear that Sister Fang is a gentle, generous, and efficient person." Teacher Zhou has been a teacher for decades, so she has the ability to judge people.
Fang Mei was pleased by these words. She waved her hand, unable to hide her smile, "Oh, you two, stop trying to sweet-talk me."
An Jiaren then introduced Fang Mei, "This is Teacher Zhou, my dining buddy, shopping buddy, work buddy, all sorts of buddies in Jincheng."
Fang Mei: "It's so nice to have someone to go with."
The women here already know each other.
Meanwhile, Leng Shi led Teacher Zhong to Songtao Garden, where he introduced Teacher Zhong to the elders of both the Leng and Fu families.
The Fu family and the Bai family had frequent interactions, and Fu Jinyun was aware of Ji Yubai's marriage.
Hearing the introduction, one can tell that this is Ji Yubai's future father-in-law.
"Teacher Zhong, please come to my home more often when you have time, so we can have some tea."
As soon as he spoke, Teacher Zhong stood up and excitedly grasped Fu Jinyun's hands, saying, "Mr. Fu, I've long admired your name, and today I'm finally able to meet you in person."
Fu Jinyun was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "What makes you say that, Teacher Zhong?"
Teacher Zhong: "I have always loved your calligraphy. When I first started taking calligraphy classes, the teacher even had us copy your calligraphy. It is magnificent and powerful, yet it reveals a far-sighted vision after experiencing many trials."
Such a high evaluation!
Fu Jinyun was so happy that her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter. Ignoring everything else, she immediately showed off to Leng Shide beside her.
"Did you hear that? My calligraphy is also excellent."
Coldness is a virtue that few can match. "I've done some calculations, and showing off is a bad habit that needs to be corrected!"
Fu Jinyun stood up straight, "I'm just showing off, I'm just showing off."
Finally, he said to Teacher Zhong, "Teacher Zhong, thank you for remembering me, Mr. Fu. I will practice calligraphy even more diligently in the future."
Teacher Zhong genuinely admires Mr. Fu's calligraphy. "When Mr. Fu has some free time, I will try to practice calligraphy with you more often."
“I have time now.” Fu Jinyun grabbed Leng Shide’s hand. “Come on, let’s practice some calligraphy together.”
The male guests all moved with Fu Jinyun to the place where he usually wrote calligraphy.
I know not of spring.
As soon as Zhong Lingxi arrived, she went to find An Xiaoyue.
Everyone was very busy today, and only An Xiaoyue and Sister Qiu took care of Lucky.
As soon as Zhong Lingxi entered the west wing, she saw An Xiaoyue sitting on a playmat, holding a pillow, playing hide-and-seek with Lucky.
An Xiaoyue peeked out from behind the cushion, which made Lucky laugh heartily.
The lucky smile vanished as soon as she buried her head in the cushion.
The mother and son had a great time playing.
"Little Moon."
"Lingxi." An Xiaoyue's lips just curled into a smile, but she quickly suppressed it, deliberately getting angry, "Hmph... You went out to play for so long, and when you came back you didn't even come to keep me company. You've forgotten your friends for the sake of a pretty face!"
"I'm sorry." Zhong Lingxi sat on the floor mat, hooking her arm around hers and acting coquettishly. "As soon as I got back, I was assigned to a business trip out of town. It was too rushed."
An Xiaoyue glanced at her, "Okay, if it's not Ji Yubai monopolizing you, I'll forgive you."
She kept her conversation with Ji Yubai completely secret, revealing not a single detail.
Zhong Lingxi changed the subject at the right moment, "Look, the gifts I brought for you and Lucky."
The oversized canvas bag is so bulging, it's almost as big as a trendy snakeskin bag.
"Such a big package!" An Xiaoyue exclaimed in surprise.
Zhong Lingxi pouted arrogantly, "This is the plane's allowable weight limit. If it weren't for the exorbitant overweight fees, I would have brought you much more than this."
An Xiaoyue happily unwrapped her gift.
When she finally took stock, she believed what Lingxi said; if the overweight fee hadn't been so expensive, she could have bought even more.
There were seven or eight lucky bibs and five rompers.
She gave even more gifts: chocolates, macarons, ham, various eye and liver health supplements, skincare products, tableware...
An Xiaoyue looked at the gifts covering the floor mat and exclaimed, "You went to buy new stock?"
"Delicious food, fun activities, beautiful things—I picked everything that caught my eye at first glance. There were so many things to buy; France is such a great place to shop," Zhong Lingxi said, recounting her travel experiences and the origin of each gift.
An Xiaoyue: "You fell in love at first sight so easily. Doesn't Ji Yubai get jealous?"
Mentioning Ji Yubai, Zhong Lingxi suddenly missed him, wondering if he had arrived yet.
They probably haven't arrived yet, otherwise Aunt Ji would be here.
"No, he's very patient, meticulous, and good at taking care of people."
An Xiaoyue was happy and listened attentively as Lingxi shared her experiences with Ji Yubai along the way.
That's what good girlfriends are like. They're usually busy with their own lives, but once they meet, their conversation flows like a floodgate opening, and they just can't stop talking.
"By the way, do you remember the scumbag I told you about before?"
"What scumbag?" An Xiaoyue pretended to be stupid, busy folding her lucky overshirt.
"That jerk who asked me for your contact information, that senior," Zhong Lingxi said calmly when she mentioned Qi Ye.
"Hmm, why bring him up all of a sudden?"
"I only found out from my colleagues that he was involved in a scandal; he slept with the wife of the person involved."
"Huh?" An Xiaoyue was shocked; she had only just found out.
After confirming Qi Ye's identity, Ji Yubai simply told her that everything was resolved, and she no longer remembered Qi Ye.
Seeing Xiaoyue's surprised expression, Zhong Lingxi's gossip spirit burned brightly, and she explained the matter in more detail.
"This gossip spread throughout the legal community because Qi Ye was handling a divorce case for his client and his wife at the time. It was the client's wife who was seeking a divorce and child support."
"This..." This is too explosive.
Zhong Lingxi continued, "What's even more shocking is that he and someone else's wife were caught on camera having sex in the office and the photos were posted online. When the person involved found out, they immediately sued Qi Ye."
If you walk by the river often, your feet will get wet.
However, Ji Yubai did a great job.
“I heard from a senior colleague at the company who was in the same year as him that he admitted to all the accusations against him and couldn’t wait to go to jail. Because the person involved has a shady background, Qi Ye has been rendered infertile.”
An Xiaoyue's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't realized that Ji Yubai could do such a thing.
However, on second thought, Ji Yubai is the heir of Xinglifang and also runs a bar. If he wants to know something, he has plenty of ways to do so.
Qi Ye ran into a brick wall; he deserved it.
“He deserves it,” An Xiaoyue said angrily.
Zhong Lingxi thought of the female students who had been deceived like her, and felt a surge of anger finally dissipate.
"Yes. Knowing he's not doing well, I'm relieved. This is God's punishment for him!"
