A private room in a hot pot restaurant.
A group of people sat around a long table, each with a small hot pot in front of them. The women sat on the left and the men sat on the right. There were eight of them, all in harmony.
Mu Ziyin and Fang Jiayi looked at each other, neither of them spoke. He pursed his lips and remained silent, then looked at Ji Chensi next to him.
Ji Chensi immediately understood, picked up the red wine at hand, and said, "Come on, it's a rare occasion for us to get together, let's have a toast."
Everyone picked up the red wine at hand.
Seeing Su Yi reaching for the glass of red wine, he frowned and said, "You are pregnant."
One sentence stirred up a thousand waves. Xiao Xiao said, "Yes, Xiaoyi, you are pregnant, you can't drink."
"Alcohol is not good for children." Ji Chensi held the glass of wine, as if he was very experienced.
Su Yi said angrily, "Okay, forget it if you can't drink it."
"Let's drink juice." Lan Fuchu turned around and pressed the service bell. The waiter came in and asked, "Do you have pure squeezed juice here?"
"some."
"What kind of fruit?"
"Orange pear, kiwi avocado, red dragon fruit juice, pomegranate juice, watermelon juice..."
Before the waiter finished his announcement, Su Yi said, "Pomegranate juice."
"Okay, we'll bring it to you right away." The waiter wrote it down on the iPad and turned to leave.
Soon, the juice arrived.
Su Yi picked it up and took a sip. He felt warm in his heart and a hint of sweetness passed through him. "This tastes good."
"Really? Then I want one too." Xiao Xiao said, looking at everyone at the table, "Who else wants one?"
Lan Shichu said: "Then I want red dragon fruit juice."
"Jiayi, what about you?" Xiao Xiao asked her.
After she came today, she has been in a dazed state, as if in a daze, and she seems unable to hear what others say to her.
"What?" As expected, her mind was already wandering and she had no idea what they were talking about.
"We are ordering juice and asked what you would like to drink?" Su Yi repeated with a smile.
"Is that so?" Fang Jiayi came back to her senses and nodded, "I'd like some orange juice."
"Okay." Su Yi took the iPad and helped them place orders one by one.
Song Yan'an took a bite of beef, raised his eyes and asked Lan Fuchu, "When is your wedding?"
"There are still three or four months left."
"Then by then... won't Su Yi's belly be full?" He didn't finish the rest of the words, and just looked at Su Yi.
Su Yi curled her lips, "That's right, if I suddenly get pregnant, I won't be able to wear a wedding dress properly."
"I think this is great. It's so meaningful that our family of three can walk into the auditorium together." Xiao Xiao, who has a child, has different ideas from others.
Su Yi smiled, "What about you? When are you and Ji Chensi going to hold your wedding ceremony?"
After hearing this, Xiao Xiao poked the chopsticks in her hand and said in a low voice: "This matter hasn't even started yet?"
"Why do you say that?" Su Yi immediately thought of the key point of the problem, "Does the elders of the Ji family disapprove of you being together?"
Xiao Xiao nodded and lowered her voice so that only Su Yi could hear it. "The last time I went to the Ji family, Mrs. Ji told me that although she was very grateful that I gave birth to Ji Ling for them, she hoped that I could also consider their feelings."
"What do you mean? You're not allowed to be together?"
"right."
"Does Ji Chensi know about this?"
"Yes, so we had a big fight that day."
"why?"
"After Mrs. Ji said that, of course I wanted to break up with him. After all, I didn't want to embarrass him. I didn't expect him to be so angry and said that I didn't consider him at all. I was the one who was with him, and as long as he affirmed me, it was enough. I didn't need their family to judge whether we were suitable for each other."
"That makes a lot of sense," Su Yi said.
Xiao Xiao said helplessly: "I know it makes sense, but do you think a marriage without the blessing of parents will last long and be happy?"
Su Yi thought for a moment and said, "It's not good. Marriage is a matter between two families. Although they don't have to live together after marriage, they have to see each other sometimes. It's not easy for them to raise a son, and then they fall out with their parents because of love. This is too ungrateful."
"Yes, so we have to hold on until the day they agree."
"So before this, you didn't plan to get married?"
"Yeah." Xiao Xiao nodded, "It doesn't matter. He and I both have Ji Ling. Whether we get married or not is just a piece of paper to us. Oh, that's not right. It should be said that whether we get married or not depends on whether his parents agree or not."
"What about your parents?"
"I won't mention them. That's it. Just go back less often." Xiao Xiao smiled and said nothing.
After a while, she came over and asked, "What's wrong with Jiayi? She used to be very lively, but now she sits there for a long time without saying a word?"
Su Yi glanced over and saw Fang Jiayi holding chopsticks, eating with a calm expression and without saying a word.
"I think she was too immersed in the role." She was so deeply influenced by the Ying Wei Xiao that her entire personality was affected, and it is difficult to change it.
"How to say?"
Su Yi then told the story of Mu Ziyin and Ying Xiaorong again. Xiao Xiao was very surprised after listening to it. "So when we were in college, Jiayi?"
"I don't know if it is true or not." Su Yi and Xiao Xiao whispered to each other, "I'm not sure, I'll go ask."
When Fang Jiayi went out to the bathroom, Su Yi took Mu Ziyin's hand and asked her in a low voice, "Based on your judgment, is she?"
"Yes." Mu Ziyin confirmed, "The taste, expression, movements, habits are exactly the same. I don't think there can be any mistakes."
"So what is your interruption now?"
Mu Ziyin took off his napkin and said gloomily, "Go find her and ask her to punish her."
Then he stood up and chased after him.
"..." Su Yi watched him run away, and suddenly felt that she had committed a grave sin. She drank a mouthful of soup and said to Lan Fuchu in a low mood, "Husband, have I committed a sin?"
"what have you done?"
"Just now I asked the youngest brother if Jiayi responded to Wei Xiao, and he said yes, and then he went to question me. What should I do?"
Lan Fuchu frowned calmly, then said, "It's okay."
"fine?"
"Some things can only be communicated through quarrels. Otherwise, if both parties don't talk, what can be communicated?"
This makes sense.

In the bathroom.
Fang Jia came out of the single room and stood in front of the sink to wash her hands. A strand of hair fell from her temple. She raised a hand covered with water droplets and was about to touch her hair when a hand reached out from the side and helped her tuck her hair behind her ear.
Fang Jiayi was stunned for a moment, turned her head, and faced the handsome young man who was extremely familiar and yet seemed very strange. Her limbs became stiff and her throat became dry.
Did he recognize himself
Otherwise, why would you follow in here
Fang Jiayi had the urge to run away and leave this depressing place, but when she took a step back, she was blocked by him, and asked very gently, "Why did you run away when you saw me? Are you feeling guilty?"
Fang Jiayi's neck was stiff and she said nothing.
What’s even more annoying and terrifying is that there’s not even a hint of anger on his face, and his face is filled with the kind of gentleness that could drown people.
Fang Jiayi swallowed her saliva. She knew Mu Ziyin's character. In the past few years, she had more or less learned about him from the news. The news said that he was a playboy and that he changed women more often than he changed clothes. Although she didn't know whether she had anything to do with his becoming like this, she felt somewhat guilty.
Looking at his tender and handsome face, Fang Jiayi spoke with great difficulty, "Mr. Mu, why are you here?"
"Smile, you still want to lie to me, right?" Mu Ziyin moved closer, his voice friendly.
Hearing this, Fang Jiayi's scalp tingled. Does this mean that she doesn't need to pretend anymore
She slowly turned her head and met his eyes.
Mu Ziyin smiled, "Smile, I didn't expect that you have been living under my nose all these years."
Fang Jiayi gritted her teeth and squeezed out a difficult sentence from her throat, "Mr. Mu, it seems you have recognized the wrong person."
"Xiao Li, you still want to lie to me, right?" He smiled and scratched her nose with his fingertips. "So your real name is Fang Jiayi. No wonder I couldn't find you. It turns out that your name is fake."
Fang Jiayi pursed her lips and insisted: "Mr. Mu, I don't know what you are talking about? Smile, who is it?"
Mu Ziyin's eyes tightened a little, "Do I need to be so scared? I know who you are, are you still going to continue pretending?"
Fang Jiayi sighed, "I really don't know you."
The past harm has been done, and she has already taken the money. Saying sorry again would seem hypocritical. So let it be. Mu Ziyin probably won't forgive her anyway. He even has a child. What's the point in saying anything
"Don't you know me?" His beautiful eyes darkened and became cold and sharp. He reached out and clasped her hand, then pushed her whole body onto the sink behind him.
Fang Jiayi felt pain and her face turned pale.
The second update will be at 4 or 5 pm, muah
