Chapter 331 Finale (Part )
Wen Jiao lowered her eyes and said calmly: "He is very good, he is not unworthy of me, it's just that we are not destined to be together."
The word "fate" is as pale as paper. People use it to understand loss, the heart-wrenching pain, or relief.
Bai Wenting, who had just spoken, looked a little embarrassed. She laughed dryly and said, "Yes. We are not destined to be together."
Wen Jiao smiled calmly, the sea breeze blowing across her face, soft and quiet.
She put down her knife and fork, smiled and said, "Why are you all looking at me? Eat more, everyone. Don't be polite."
Everyone then picked up their cutlery again and had different thoughts during the meal, so much so that no one spoke anymore afterwards.
Wen Jiao didn't care. She came here today just to tell everyone that her relationship with Shen Zhaoli was stable and the marriage between the Wen and Shen families was as solid as a rock.
Now that the goal has been achieved, Wen Jiao no longer wants to continue to play along.
Two hours later, the ship returned from the middle of the sea, and Wen Jiao was the first to get off the ship after everyone gave way.
Zhuang Jie Ning was standing on the shore. As agreed before, she was wrapped in a bathrobe and was looking at him with a pale and weak face.
Bai Wenting and Penny followed behind Wen Jiao, and were shocked when they saw Zhuang Jie Ning's miserable appearance.
Wen Jiao smiled and calmly walked in front of Zhuang Jie Ning, her smile seemed real and fake, "I'm so sorry, I forgot the time while talking to everyone, you won't catch a cold, right?"
Zhuang Jiening smiled and endured Wen Jiao's provocation. She lowered her eyes and said hoarsely, "It's okay. It's more important that Miss Wen has fun."
"I had a lot of fun, but it was hard for Miss Zhuang to wait for me on the shore for so long." Wen Jiao smiled, and his voice became calmer: "Don't worry, I will hand over the shelved cooperation agreement to Shen Zhaoli, and you can leave now."
Wen Jiao felt complicated when he saw Zhuang Jie Ning's miserable appearance.
On the one hand, she hated Zhuang Jie Ning's scheme against Bian Yue, and also hated her hypocritical behavior. But now, she was using Shen Zhaoli's face to humiliate Zhuang Jie Ning, and she did not feel as happy as she had expected.
Zhuang Jie Ning was stunned. She didn't expect Wen Jiao to suddenly stop and let her go. The surprise in her eyes didn't have time to dissipate, and her eyes drooped even more. "Thank you, Miss Wen. Don't worry, Miss Wen, I have figured it out now. From now on, I will not cause trouble again."
Wen Jiao looked at Zhuang Jie Ning coldly. She did not believe what Zhuang Jie Ning said. "Do you still remember when you were in the second year of high school, Bian Yue would go to the multimedia classroom to practice piano every afternoon, and then accompany you home?"
Zhuang Jie Ning was stunned for a longer time this time. She said softly, "I have some impression."
"Bian Yue didn't go there to practice the piano at all. Her piano skills were already very advanced at that time, so there was no need for her to practice the piano repetitively. She went there to wait for you. She said that you would be bored if you went home alone, so it would be better for her to accompany you."
There was a slight crack on Zhuang Jie Ning's calm expression and she didn't say anything.
Wen Jiao smiled coldly and spoke each word with emphasis: "Zhuang Jie Ning, everything I did to you today can be considered as me bullying the weak and teasing you on purpose, but Bian Yue has never done these things to you. The only person you feel sorry for is Bian Yue."
Zhuang Jie Ning's face turned paler and paler.
There was a sense of broken fragility in her drooped brows.
At night, Wen Yongwei cooked a table full of home-cooked meals for Wen Jiao.
Wen Yongwei is now semi-retired. He relies heavily on Shen Zhaoli, and almost all affairs of the group are handed over to Shen Zhaoli.
Wen Jiao was actually quite surprised that Wen Yongwei could trust Shen Zhaoli so much. "Zhaoli, try this. This is the bone soup I made this afternoon! I put a lot of nourishing ingredients in it. You work hard, so eat more!"
Shen Zhaoli smiled, looking like a good student. He took the soup from Wen Yongwei with both hands and praised him: "It smells delicious. Dad, you've worked hard too!"
"I'm just making something to eat at home. What's so hard about that?" Wen Yongwei waved his hand and asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Shen Zhaoli smiled and nodded, saying it tasted delicious.
Wen Jiao sat next to Shen Zhaoli, watching the two of them completely ignore her and interact with each other. She knocked on the table in dissatisfaction and said, "I'm still sitting here! Why are you ignoring me? Dad! You only know how to ask Shen Zhaoli if the drink is good, why don't you ask me!"
"What do you have to ask? Eat it or not!" Wen Yongwei glared at Wen Jiao and said, "I don't know where you went so early in the morning! When you came back, your clothes were all wet!"
Wen Jiao curled her lips and frowned, "Okay! Now that you have a son-in-law, you despise me, your daughter!"
Shen Zhaoli kept watching the father and daughter bickering with a smile. He drank the soup calmly, paused, stood up, and poured a bowl for Wen Jiao.
"I've tasted it for you. It's delicious. Drink more."
Wen Jiao hummed with satisfaction, took the bowl of soup, and drank it contentedly.
After finishing the meal, Wen Jiao knocked on the table, looked at Shen Zhaoli beside him, and said, "Come up with me, I have something to tell you."
Shen Zhaoli raised his eyebrows, and he cooperated very well, following Wen Jiao upstairs.
The two entered the study. Wen Jiao walked behind the desk and put the hidden documents on the table. She said reluctantly, "Take it! The cooperation agreement between Lixing Group and Zhuang Group."
"Did you meet Zhuang Jie Ning today?" Shen Zhaoli's voice was inquiring, but his words clearly implied that he had known about it for a long time.
Wen Jiao nodded and said, "Yes, I met her."
"I thought this cooperation agreement would at least last until my brother comes back. What do you think? You just agreed to it."
"I don't think it's interesting." Wen Jiao frowned, with a little confusion in his eyes: "Sometimes I really think it's boring. You said that our fighting is meaningless in the end."
Shen Zhaoli picked up the document on the table. He just glanced at it casually, then put it down and asked, "When will you meet next time?"
"I don't even want to go this time! If it weren't for the fact that I really wanted to clear up the rumors, I wouldn't want to see them at all!" Wen Jiao sighed, with some emotion: "Why do you think I liked to attend class reunions before? It's crazy!"
"Next time." Shen Zhaoli paused, looked at Wen Jiao and smiled: "Take me with you next time."
Wen Jiao was stunned, and she subconsciously said, "You are very busy."
"If you come to me, I will definitely have time."
Wen Jiao looked at Shen Zhaoli's gentle smile and felt that he was really good-looking. He was very attractive when he smiled like that.
She coughed lightly and said, "I see. I'll let you know."
"Don't stand me up this time." Shen Zhaoli said casually, "You really don't have any credibility with me."
"What are you talking about! Don't worry, I won't let you down this time!" Wen Jiao looked a little annoyed: "My dad is on your side, how dare I?"
