Chapter 27

Jiang Lai opened the study door from the inside; Shen Xi was eavesdropping on the door, clearly having heard nothing, and glared at Jiang Lai angrily.

"Dad, Mom, didn't you say you would help me teach Jiang Lai a lesson?" Shen Xi took her mother's arm and whispered coquettishly in a volume Jiang Lai could hear.

Jiang Lai remained unmoved.

She had made the couple happy today, so they wouldn't do anything to her.

"That's about enough." Shen's mother patted her daughter's hand and looked at Jiang Lai with a smile, "You're not staying here today?"

Jiang Lai changed her shoes and left, giving the answer with her actions.

Shen Xi was full of question marks; what was wrong with her mother today? Suddenly so kind to Jiang Lai?

Father was the same; although he still had a serious face, the coldness of the past was clearly gone.

What did Jiang Lai say? This actually conquered her parents!

No way!

She absolutely couldn't let Jiang Lai have a place in this family.

Shen Xi hid to the side to send a message to Lin Shutong.

【Sister Shutong~ You must come to my house for dinner tonight; our whole family welcomes you, and my brother too~】

She immediately went to send a message to her brother.

【Brother! Sister Shutong said she will come to celebrate my birthday tonight; although my birthday party was ruined by Jiang Lai, it still has to be celebrated, our whole family will celebrate together!】

Both sides sent her messages at the same time, saying okay.

Great!

Shen Xi was very happy and turned back to tell her parents: "Sister Shutong is coming tonight, I don't want to see Jiang Lai, don't let her come tonight, wait, she can come to cook, and leave after cooking."

"Don't worry, she won't come tonight." Shen's mother pushed her daughter to sit on the sofa, "I'll apply some more medicine for you; this Jiang Lai is really something, hitting so hard, she deserves to be abandoned and wanted by no one."

Shen Xi snorted: "Isn't there my brother? Annoying to death, my brother is really blind."

Her eyes rolled, and she must find a way to match her brother and Sister Shutong tonight!

Once Sister Shutong becomes her sister-in-law, she should be able to study abroad.

Sister Shutong also studied abroad herself, so she would definitely support her; then she wouldn't have to be managed by the family, and she could have lots and lots of money to squander.

……

Cui Zhai.

In the huge villa, Wang Ruohua was lying on a chair basking in the sun, hearing footsteps approaching, and said with her eyes closed: "Back."

"Mm, back, teacher's wife." Jiang Lai squatted down beside the teacher's wife and leaned her head over.

Wang Ruohua heard the depression in her tone, slowly opened her eyes, and reached out to touch her head.

"I'll show you something, Butler Deng, take it out."

Butler Deng moved out a mannequin with a beige embroidered lace long dress covered on it.

The upper body was exquisite hollow-out embroidered lace, combined with a transparent mesh design, not exposing too much skin.

The lace trim at the high collar was layered, which could outline an elegant neck line, and the lace patterns on the shoulders and chest were complex and three-dimensional.

The lower body was a satin long skirt, with layered satin bows and pleated designs on the back, forming a contrast with the simplicity of the front.

There was also a pair of long gloves decorated with pearls, which set off the overall retro luxury, showing the classical elegance and exquisite romantic temperament to the fullest.

Butler Deng introduced: "A nineteenth-century antique dress, Mr. Cui auctioned it for the wife back then, the wife only wore it twice, and it has been kept very well. Two days ago, I specially found someone who understood restoration to restore it again, and it is no different from a brand new one."

Jiang Lai was surprised: "For me?"

"Do you like it?" Wang Ruohua smiled and sat up, walked to the dress, touched it, full of nostalgia.

"Why did the teacher's wife give me a dress?" Jiang Lai went up to support her.

"Preparing for you to attend the party. You almost don't buy any clothes, let alone evening dresses. The evening dresses now are all very revealing to you, and I know you don't like them, so I turned this dress out and gave it to you." Wang Ruohua patted her hand, "I also hope you can dress yourself up well and refresh your life."

Jiang Lai understood the teacher's wife's painstaking efforts and was moved in her heart: "Thank you, teacher's wife."

"Don't be polite, Old Cui would glare at you twice more if he heard." Wang Ruohua hit her lightly, "How is it, what did Shen Xun's parents say?"

"They can't wait, they will help me handle it."

"Heh, I can't wait either." Wang Ruohua got angry as soon as she thought of the faces of that couple, "I was immersed in the fact that Old Cui left suddenly back then, and I didn't watch carefully for a moment, and you were coaxed away by that brat Shen Xun."

Jiang Lai fell into silence.

"However, Shen Xun back then did indeed take care of you everywhere, handsome and gentle, it's human nature." Wang Ruohua remembered her own past, "I also took a fancy to Old Cui's face and personality back then."

Jiang Lai couldn't help laughing: "Does the teacher know?"

"He knows, how could he not know? Girls of our era would blush when they saw boys, but I was different. I went up to Old Cui and said, you look quite good, it would be even better if you could be a husband."

Jiang Lai thought of that scene, and the smile on her face grew more and more.

The two chatted in the garden, and the three of them ate dinner together in the evening and returned to their rooms.

Jiang Lai had a very large and spacious room here, with a black-gold invitation letter in the drawer.

She had just taken it out when Professor Cheng called.

"What's wrong? Professor Cheng."

"Did you get the invitation letter?"

"Got it." Jiang Lai opened it and saw her name written on it.

"You will go, right?" Professor Cheng said, "Only Ji Lao, me, and you have the black-gold invitation letter. Ji Lao won't go, and the one going is probably Expert Lin. I plan to take Xiao Qian to see the world. Xiao Qian has been asking me if you are going; if you don't go, she doesn't want to go either. This girl is timid, and only when she follows you is she bold."

Jiang Lai said: "Go."

"Really or fake?" Professor Cheng was half-believing, "Don't fool Xiao Qian into going."

"The teacher's wife hopes I go."

"Wang Professor's meaning? Then I'm relieved. I'll reply to that girl; she's more annoying than my daughter." Professor Cheng was about to hang up, but suddenly remembered something, "Your husband is also going that day, not to mention President Ke of the Ke Clan. Be careful yourself and don't reveal the stuffing."

"I know." After Jiang Lai finished speaking, she still decided to say it, "Professor Cheng, Shen Xun, is no longer my husband."

Professor Cheng on the other end of the phone was stunned: "Oh, oh, like that. That, Jiang Lai, don't be too sad."

"Mm, goodbye Professor Cheng."

"Goodbye." After Professor Cheng hung up, he let out a heavy sigh and muttered, "Relief, it can be considered relief."

For these four years, he watched Jiang Lai run back and forth, living frugally because of her husband, and taking care of a whole family like a nanny every day; his heart had never felt good.

If his daughter were like this, he, the father, would be heartbroken to death.

Old Cui was most worried about Jiang Lai before he left and entrusted him to take care of her; Jiang Lai was about the same as his daughter.

But he saw Jiang Lai enjoying it, and the words reached his mouth several times and were swallowed back.

Now she is divorced.

Divorce is good.
