72: Drinking to relieve sorrow, Li Zhiyan’s comfortChapter 72: Drowning Sorrows in Alcohol, Li Zhiyan’s Comfort

Zhao Manman’s heart still held some suspicions.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival…

Ji Yunhai didn’t even come home, which brought her back to reality.

If he didn’t have something going on outside, how could Ji Yunhai have gone to such lengths?

Li Zhiyan’s words to her earlier indicated that she indeed knew something.

“Mom, I have a question I want to ask you.”

Li Zhiyan helped Zhao Manman press her swollen occiput.

“Go ahead, Xiao Yan. Things aren’t like they used to be between us. You can tell Mom anything directly.”

It was very hot, and Li Zhiyan was very natural.

Zhao Manman’s grip tightened considerably.

“If, and I mean if, Uncle Ji really did something to betray you, what would you think?”

“Would you…?”

Zhao Manman knew what Li Zhiyan meant.

“Xiao Yan, you don’t have to worry so much about these things.”

“Mom has actually thought a lot about what happened these past few days.”

“I’ve also prepared for the worst, after all, he didn’t even come home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I don’t know what he’s doing now.”

“No matter what, Mom won’t be as fragile as you imagine.”

“Mom has been through a lot, so I won’t be easily defeated.”

Li Zhiyan pressed her swollen occiput, looking at the nearby scenery and tourists.

He also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He could feel that Zhao Manman’s heart was still somewhat prepared.

As long as Zhao Manman was prepared, he wouldn’t feel as much pressure telling her about this matter.

Turning his head, he looked at Ji Zhiting, who was still taking photos with Zhou Mengmeng.

Li Zhiyan still said, “Mom, let’s have a good talk tonight.”

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to control your emotions, after all, this matter is still difficult for you to accept.”

“It might not be good to do it in front of the two little girls.”

Li Zhiyan still remembered clearly how painful Zhao Manman had been at that time.

Li Zhiyan’s words were tantamount to confirmation, which caused Zhao Manman’s complexion to change slightly.

However, she controlled herself very well this time.

Li Zhiyan also saw that after the previous hints, she must have been quite prepared mentally.

In that case, he could have a good talk with her tonight about this matter.

Of course, Li Zhiyan also knew that no matter how prepared Zhao Manman was, the moment the evidence appeared before her, she would still be dealt a terrible blow.

It was just easier for her to bear it when she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes.

“Mmm… Okay, then let’s talk tonight.”

Li Zhiyan thought for a moment and said, “Mom, should we tell Ting about this?”

“Let’s tell her tomorrow. Actually, Ji Yunhai doesn’t spend much time at home, so the two children aren’t very close to him.”

“Telling them about this sooner might lessen the hurt for them.”

Li Zhiyan’s words were originally meant to ask for Zhao Manman’s opinion.

Since Zhao Manman said so, he just had to follow her instructions.

“Alright, Mom, I’ll tell Xiao Ting about this later, but I basically don’t have contact with Meng Ting anymore.”

“You tell her about her side.”

Zhao Manman softly hummed in response…

She still harbored the idea of Li Zhiyan and Ji Mengting remarrying.

Soon, Ji Zhiting pulled Zhou Mengmeng and walked over.

At this moment, Zhou Mengmeng’s pretty face also showed a hint of a smile, being with Ji Zhiting.

It made her feel much more cheerful.

“Brother, you’re so good to Mom.”

“You even helped Mom with a massage.”

Ji Zhiting quickly noticed that Li Zhiyan was pressing on a swollen spot on her occiput.

“Mom, what happened to your head?”

Ji Zhiting asked with concern.

Zhao Manman sat up and touched the back of her head; it didn’t hurt anymore, actually.

“It’s nothing, Ting Bao. I accidentally bumped it earlier. It’s just a bit swollen, but it hasn’t hurt for a while now. It’ll probably go down tonight.”

“Don’t worry.”

Hearing Zhao Manman say this, Ji Zhiting finally felt relieved.

“Mom, you have to be careful. You’re so beautiful, it would be a shame if you got a scar or something. You’re the most beautiful woman in the whole world in my heart.”

Listening to Ji Zhiting’s words, Zhao Manman also smiled sweetly.

This little girl really knows how to talk.

In reality, Ji Zhiting inherited all of her beauty, and in terms of appearance, she could completely stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhao Manman.

It’s just that she’s too young now, lacking some of Zhao Manman’s charm.

“Let’s go, let’s go look over there.”

Zhao Manman took Ji Zhiting’s hand and walked forward.

Meanwhile, Li Zhiyan walked with Zhou Mengmeng.

“Now that you’re out, how are you feeling?”

Zhou Mengmeng looked at Li Zhiyan beside her.

She really hoped that Li Zhiyan could be devoted to her, and if so, how happy her life would be.

“Mmm… It’s better than being in the dorm.”

“I’ll pay you back the money I owe you, and the money for this outing.”

“Thank you for taking me out.”

Li Zhiyan looked at the girl who was five years younger than him and said jokingly, “Don’t you sometimes call me Daddy?”

“So it’s perfectly normal for me to take you out to play, what money are you talking about?”

Zhou Mengmeng was thin-skinned, and her pretty face quickly flushed crimson.

She seemed completely unprepared for Li Zhiyan to suddenly bring up that matter.

The scene of kissing Li Zhiyan at his home that day couldn’t help but resurface in Zhou Mengmeng’s mind.

Along with the memories…

And that terrible…

She often wondered if she would have fainted at Li Zhiyan’s house if something had really happened that day.

“Anyway, I’ll pay you back.”

“I can’t owe you money.”

Looking at this very shy girl, Li Zhiyan couldn’t help but tug at her left ponytail.

“Mengmeng, actually, it’s so good when you’re with me.”

“I really can’t bear for you to leave my side.”

Looking at Zhou Mengmeng, who was 170 cm tall and had a C+ bust, Li Zhiyan’s heart still fluttered.

Deep down, he was still a common man.

“I really want to be with you…”

After that confession, Zhou Mengmeng felt much more natural discussing this topic with Li Zhiyan now.

“It’s just that I know you actually like a lot of people, don’t you?”

“The one in front.”

Zhou Mengmeng pointed ahead. Although she was introverted, she saw some things very clearly.

Li Zhiyan also felt a bit unnatural. He felt that although Zhou Mengmeng’s mindset was completely unlike an eighteen-year-old’s, she understood some things very clearly…

“Hmm.”

Li Zhiyan didn’t deny it. He had already been honest with Zhou Mengmeng before, so there was no need to hide anything.

As long as there was an opportunity, Zhou Mengmeng would eventually get closer to him.

He also had to visit Ji Zhiting often in the Demon Capital, and Zhou Mengmeng was conveniently close to him.

Although she knew what was going on, Zhou Mengmeng still couldn’t help but feel very sad at this moment.

“Let’s go, let’s have a good stroll.”

Li Zhiyan led Zhou Mengmeng to catch up with the mother and daughter in front.

Zhou Mengmeng looked at Li Zhiyan’s profile. Although she knew she couldn’t be with Li Zhiyan, being by his side gave her a profound sense of security in life.

“Brother, look, the ancient buildings here really have a sense of history.”

“It would be so nice to live here.”

Li Zhiyan smiled.

“You can. Anyway, many courtyard villas now are built and decorated in a Chinese style.”

“There are quite a few such villas for sale in Suzhou.”

“I can buy one, and if we come to visit in the future, we can just stay there.”

Ji Zhiting listened, and her heart was filled with admiration for Li Zhiyan.

Last time…

She still clearly remembered the scene when so many supercars gathered at the entrance of the milk tea shop.

She had never forgotten it.

Now, there are still many videos of her milk tea shop’s opening on TikTok.

At that time, Ji Zhiting already felt that Li Zhiyan was mysterious, formidable, and incredibly capable.

But now he actually said he wanted to buy a courtyard villa in Suzhou.

How much money would that cost…

Although Suzhou’s housing prices are not as expensive as those in the Demon Capital, a villa would still cost tens of millions.

Zhao Manman looked at Li Zhiyan, her heart unable to imagine his financial standing or current cash flow.

He had given Wu Yuexian a large G-Wagon and a large flat in Wan City, already spending over ten million in Wan City.

She felt that Li Zhiyan wasn’t joking, but truly had the capability…

He was developing truly astonishingly in the Demon Capital.

It’s just, once I confirm everything, how should my own future unfold…

The group continuously admired the scenery of the ancient gardens, experiencing the rich cultural and historical atmosphere.

In half a day, they visited many places.

In the evening, after finding a casual place for dinner, the four returned to the hotel.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Zhao Manman began to allocate the rooms.

Of course, there was only one option now.

“There are only two rooms now.”

“Xiao Yan, the three of us will sleep in one room, and you’ll sleep in your own room.”

Li Zhiyan also knew this was the best approach.

After returning to his room, Li Zhiyan did not go to sleep but sat by the window, looking at the city night view outside the French window.

He knew someone would come over later.

…

In the next room, Zhao Manman received a call from Yang Xintao.

Yang Xintao’s voice on the other end of the phone was very pleasant.

“Sister Zhao, how was your day today? Did you have fun?”

Zhao Manman thought for a moment; her day had been quite fulfilling.

Having the children by her side felt completely different from being alone.

“Happy, I spent it with three children.”

“How are you doing over there?”

Yang Xintao’s voice was a bit shy.

“Jie, I’m also very happy. You don’t know how amazing young people are…”

“After all, a man’s physical prime is when he’s young.”

Zhao Manman’s grip tightened slightly.

“I know, don’t talk about these topics. I have two children here.”

Zhao Manman’s voice was lowered.

“I know, Sister Zhao. There’s another round of game PK later. I need to get ready.”

“These past few days, my complexion has been very rosy.”

…

Ji Zhiting, who had finished showering and changed into her pajamas, looked at Zhao Manman, who had just showered, and Zhou Mengmeng, who was about to shower.

She thought about secretly sneaking over to find Li Zhiyan later.

However, after thinking about it, she didn’t seem to need to sneak.

Mom didn’t know that she had already confessed to Li Zhiyan.

She said openly, “Mom, this cheongsam really looks good on you. I think your figure is perfect for cheongsams. Wearing one occasionally is great, and it would be even more beautiful with black stockings.”

Zhao Manman looked at her cheongsam, which covered half of her thighs.

Listening to Ji Zhiting’s praise, she felt that her daughter’s words were truly sweet.

“You’re such a sweet talker.”

Ji Zhiting took Zhao Manman’s hand.

“What are you talking about…? I’m just telling the truth, I’m not being sweet-mouthed at all.”

“Can I go talk to my brother for a bit?”

“Sure.”

Zhao Manman knew that Li Zhiyan and Ji Zhiting had a very good relationship.

Otherwise, Li Zhiyan wouldn’t still be taking such good care of Ji Zhiting after divorcing Meng Ting.

Soon, Ji Zhiting ran to Li Zhiyan’s room.

She pressed the doorbell.

Li Zhiyan didn’t know who was looking for him; Zhao Manman was definitely coming to see the evidence.

After opening the door, he saw Ji Zhiting rush in.

She was wearing pajamas, but Li Zhiyan could see her beautiful figure.

”Xiao Ting.”

”Brother, did you miss me?”

After entering, Ji Zhiting closed the door and actively took Li Zhiyan’s hand.

It was very intimate.

”You’ve been running all day and aren’t tired? It’s time to rest now.”

Ji Zhiting sat down on the sofa.

”I’m not tired, Brother... I just missed you.”

”And I wanted to ask you about that matter.”

”The thing we talked about before we left, have you thought about it?”

Although Ji Zhiting was a generous girl, discussing this matter back and forth still made her a little shy.

Li Zhiyan sat down beside Ji Zhiting.

Then he gently kissed her pretty face.

”Xiao Ting, when we leave, I’ll tell you, okay? There are some things I need to explain clearly to you before I can tell you.”

He and Zhao Manman had agreed to tell Ji Zhiting about Ji Yunhai’s matter.

However, he still needed to handle Zhao Manman’s emotions first to prevent any accidents.

This was the most important thing...

”Mm...”

After being kissed by Li Zhiyan, Ji Zhiting’s pretty face felt a little hot.

Looking at Li Zhiyan, she noticed that his changes were still so obvious.

She already had the answer in her heart.

Then, from now on, she would have to face this directly, which was a little scary.

Putting her arms around Li Zhiyan’s neck, Ji Zhiting also kissed Li Zhiyan back.

”So, Brother, where should we go tomorrow?”

Li Zhiyan thought for a moment; since they were in Suzhou, they should definitely see Tai Lake.

”Let’s go to Tai Lake, for a boat ride.”

”Okay, then I’ll come find you tomorrow. Mom will probably call me soon, so I’ll go first.”

After speaking, Ji Zhiting left Li Zhiyan’s room and returned to Zhao Manman’s.

Zhao Manman glanced at Ji Zhiting, who had run back.

”You’re back so soon?”

Ji Zhiting said a little awkwardly, ”Of course, Mom, I’m already 18. I know very well that men and women should keep a respectful distance.”

Zhao Manman looked at Ji Zhiting with satisfaction.

Her daughter still remembered her teachings very clearly.

”Alright, you two rest first. Mom’s going out for a walk.”

Ji Zhiting was worried.

”You’re going out for a walk? It’s not safe this late, is it?”

”Mom, you’re so beautiful, someone might have ideas about you.”

”Although our public safety is very good, it’s still better for a woman not to go out alone at night.”

In the bathroom, Zhou Mengmeng was still showering, so she couldn’t hear their conversation.

”It’s fine, Mom will have Xiao Yan accompany her, and we’ll be back soon. Xiao Ting, you and Meng Meng go to sleep first.”

Ji Zhiting felt relieved when she heard that Li Zhiyan would be accompanying her.

Although she also wanted to go out for a walk, she was truly too tired to hold on after walking all day.

On the spacious king-sized bed, she found a spot in the middle.

She lay down directly and started sleeping.

After Zhao Manman kissed Ji Zhiting’s face, her beautiful eyes were full of doting affection.

She glanced at Zhou Mengmeng’s figure through the glass.

Only then did Zhao Manman leave.

...

Soon, the knocking sound echoed again.

Li Zhiyan saw Zhao Manman.

”Mom, you’re here.”

”You really suit cheongsams. This is my first time seeing you wear one like this.”

Zhao Manman remembered this remark because Ji Zhiting had said the same thing just now.

She only wore them occasionally.

As Li Zhiyan thought about handing the evidence to Zhao Manman, a sense of fear involuntarily rose within him.

He was afraid Zhao Manman would have an extreme reaction.

”Mm.”

Zhao Manman walked towards the window and slowly sat down.

”Xiao Yan, regarding Uncle Ji, you can tell me the truth now. They’re all asleep, so you don’t have to worry about affecting them.”

Looking at the distant night view that Li Zhiyan had seen, an endless desolation began to rise in Zhao Manman’s heart.

This feeling made her heart ache terribly.

”Uncle Ji... actually, what he’s been doing outside is confirmed.”

”It should have been around the time Ting hadn’t been born yet.”

”He found a woman outside named Liu Lanxia.”

”Under romantic circumstances, Liu Lanxia became pregnant with a child.”

”And four months later, she sought him out.”

”But what he didn’t expect was that the woman was actually pregnant.”

”Later, she gave birth to a son named Ji Yun.”

”And Ji Yunhai has always been a person who heavily favors sons over daughters. Although he didn’t show it on the surface, that’s what he truly thought deep down.”

”So later, he bought a large flat outside and lived with that woman.”

”All these years, you might have thought he was busy with business outside, but the truth is completely different.”

”He was just with this woman outside.”

Li Zhiyan’s words were like needles, piercing Zhao Manman’s heart.

It made her feel completely unable to accept it...

After so many hints before, she had actually prepared herself mentally.

But when these words were spoken word by word from Li Zhiyan’s mouth, it still stung her heart so much.

It made her feel unable to accept it...

”It matches up. He was indeed very abnormal during that period.”

”Xiao Yan, do you have concrete evidence for all these things?”

Li Zhiyan didn’t say much and opened WeChat.

He sent all the photos and videos of the solid evidence to Zhao Manman.

Listening to the message notifications, Zhao Manman felt even more suppressed. She didn’t even dare to open them.

She had indeed planned to spend the rest of her life with Ji Yunhai.

But...

This incident was probably the biggest upheaval in her life.

Finally, she still clicked on the photos.

”This is the community where they live. This man is Ji Yun, which is Uncle Ji’s son.”

Li Zhiyan pointed, and Zhao Manman saw Ji Yunhai, the woman, and the child in intimate poses.

They looked completely like a family of three.

Yet, he had never acted like this at home. All of this must be because of this son.

”This one is a photo of them going out for an outing together.”

”This is a video of him and that woman embracing.”

”This one is a photo of him and Ji Yun attending a parent-teacher conference together.”

”These are photos from their wedding, and their wedding photos.”

Li Zhiyan spoke in great detail, and his words continuously pierced Zhao Manman’s heart.

This feeling was truly, truly unbearable.

Her eyes appeared somewhat unfocused.

This made Li Zhiyan a little scared. Knowing the truth and seeing the truth with one’s own eyes were two completely different concepts.

For her, this was indeed something utterly unacceptable.

”Mom, are you okay?”

Li Zhiyan sat beside her, feeling a little flustered.

Zhao Manman locked her phone.

She looked at Li Zhiyan.

”Xiao Yan...”

”Go buy a few bottles of red wine. I want to have a few drinks.”

If it were usually, Li Zhiyan would have gone directly.

But now...

He didn’t dare to leave, fearing something might happen.

”I’m not leaving...”

”I’m afraid you might do something rash.”

Zhao Manman stroked Li Zhiyan’s head and smiled gently.

”It’s nothing, Xiao Yan. You really shouldn’t overthink this matter.”

”If Mom really intended to do something rash, I wouldn’t ask you to buy wine.”

”Maybe if I drink more, I’ll come to terms with it.”

”You’ve been hinting to Mom about Uncle Ji’s matter since we were in Wan City.”

”So, in fact, I was somewhat prepared.”

”If he doesn’t want to continue, I can’t end my life because of that, can I?”

”How can Mom be so weak? Good boy, go get a few bottles of wine.”

Seeing Zhao Manman’s seemingly genuinely okay demeanor, Li Zhiyan felt a little relieved.

”You better not be lying to me.”

Zhao Manman seemed a little helpless.

”Mom won’t lie to you.”

Li Zhiyan walked to the service button and pressed it.

”Then I’ll have room service bring it. This hotel isn’t cheap, they have wine here.”

Zhao Manman didn’t object.

As long as there was wine, getting drunk for a while was enough.

She truly just wanted to have a few drinks.

Soon, a waiter brought in a few bottles of red wine.

”Would you like me to open them for you?”

Li Zhiyan looked at the corkscrew and asked the waiter to open all the red wine for him.

When the waiter left, the room fell silent.

He brought the bottles of red wine one by one to Zhao Manman.

”Mom, I’ll toast you first.”

Li Zhiyan poured Zhao Manman a glass of red wine.

He didn’t know Zhao Manman’s alcohol tolerance.

But indeed...

Drinking could help forget many troubles.

Zhao Manman took the wine glass and slowly savored it.

She wasn’t gulping it down as Li Zhiyan had imagined.

This also made Li Zhiyan feel a little relieved.

At least she didn’t have any extreme reactions.

”Xiao Yan, tell me, is having a son really that important?”

Zhao Manman discussed this question with Li Zhiyan.

”Actually, most young people nowadays don’t care about this issue.”

”Because having children is a matter of fate.”

”But I think the most important thing is the person you spend your days with.”

Zhao Manman nodded gently.

”It’s impossible for me and Uncle Ji now.”

”Since he has a family outside, let’s get a divorce.”

”I’m not the type of person to cling to others either.”

”Let’s part on good terms.”

Zhao Manman had made up her mind to divorce.

She had absolute zero tolerance for what Ji Yunhai had done.

”You want to part on good terms.”

”But he doesn’t intend to let you go.”

Zhao Manman didn’t speak. She thought of Ji Yunhai starting a company.

She didn’t dare to think about it because it was too terrifying.

She simply couldn’t imagine such a thing.

”Didn’t I remind you about him transferring assets before?”

”The partner of that company is actually a shell company opened by that woman.”

”Through business cooperation, they’ve been continuously transferring your joint assets out.”

”If this goes on for a while longer, you’ll truly be leaving with nothing.”

Asset transfer is a long-term process, especially for someone with Ji Yunhai’s substantial wealth.

Transferring assets would definitely require a process.

”In the information I sent you, below are very detailed pieces of evidence.”

”You can take a good look.”

Zhao Manman opened WeChat again.

And indeed, she saw the evidence of Ji Yunhai transferring assets.

She was trembling...

She couldn’t believe that Ji Yunhai, who had been her husband for so many years, would do something so outrageous and heartless.

This was simply trying to strip her bare.

Suddenly, Zhao Manman remembered what Yang Xintao had said.

She truly had never genuinely understood Ji Yunhai.

”So, you want to part on good terms, but he doesn’t.”

”I had to tell you this, but before, I was afraid that if I wasn’t by your side, you wouldn’t be able to withstand the blow, so I didn’t dare to go into detail.”

”Now, you can say whatever you’re thinking.”

Zhao Manman remained silent.

She started drinking, but very slowly.

Her worldview had collapsed. She realized for the first time.

The beliefs she used to uphold and her principles for living.

Seemed so ridiculous...

If Li Zhiyan hadn’t found the concrete evidence, she might still be in the dark.

What would be left of her after a while longer?

Truly, just as Yang Xintao had said, stripped bare.

”Are you alright...?”

”Mom’s fine, Xiao Yan. Bring the wine. Once I’ve had enough, I’ll be fine.”

Zhao Manman drank cup after cup.

It wasn’t until past eleven that she shakily stood up.

She seemed much calmer.

”Mom, are you alright?”

”I’m fine. I’m going back to sleep. Don’t see me out.”

Staggering, Zhao Manman left the room.

Li Zhiyan secretly followed behind her. In this state, Li Zhiyan certainly couldn’t feel at ease about Zhao Manman.

He had also drunk a lot. He had just been drinking with Zhao Manman, and with an elder drinking, he couldn’t just watch.

However, compared to Zhao Manman, Li Zhiyan was truly sober.

She didn’t go back to her room but got into the elevator.

Li Zhiyan followed her into the elevator, watching Zhao Manman press the button for the top floor.

Li Zhiyan stood quietly behind her.

He didn’t speak...

Zhao Manman, being drunk, didn’t even notice him.

After reaching the top floor, Zhao Manman then took the stairs to the rooftop.

She walked step by step towards the edge of the rooftop. Zhao Manman’s steps were very unsteady.

But she still didn’t stop.

The night wind was already a bit chilly.

When Li Zhiyan followed her up...

He felt a chill.

In his heart, a certain possibility instinctively came to mind.

He really didn’t want to imagine such a scene happening.

For him, it was absolutely unacceptable.

No way.

Watching Zhao Manman walk towards the edge of the rooftop, Li Zhiyan pulled her back from behind.

”Xiao Yan, let go of me...”

The cold wind made Zhao Manman regain some sobriety.

Drunk, she tried hard to break free from Li Zhiyan.

”I won’t let go. You can’t die.”

Li Zhiyan didn’t dare to let go; he was truly afraid of something happening.

Zhao Manman kept trying to break free from Li Zhiyan.

But it was still in vain. A woman who is 165cm tall, no matter how noble and elegant she usually is, is still far weaker than a young man in terms of strength.

After failing, Zhao Manman sat on the ground, completely disregarding her image.

”I didn’t want to die; I just wanted to feel the wind.”

”Why, Xiao Yan, could he do such a thing?”

”Do you know, all these years I have always adhered to morality, thinking that I could spend this lifetime with him.”

”But no matter what, I never expected that he would end up doing such a thing. When he did this, he never considered my feelings in the slightest.”

Hearing Zhao Manman’s confession, Li Zhiyan, on the contrary, felt relieved.

He also sat down on the ground, opposite Zhao Manman.

”The fact that he did such a thing just means he didn’t cherish you.”

”You’re so good; you just had bad luck.”

Zhao Manman’s tears of grievance could no longer be controlled and began to flow continuously.

She cried uncontrollably in front of her junior, completely losing her composure.

Everything that happened today was simply too cruel for her.

”Mom, don’t think so much.”

”Ji Yunhai doesn’t cherish you, but you still have two Ting Baos, and you have me. We all consider you the most important person in our lives.”

”Life should be lived for those who care about you.”

”Being sad and upset for someone who hurt you is actually the most foolish behavior. Besides hurting yourself, there are no other benefits.”

”It’s really not worth it for him.”

Zhao Manman slowly raised her head and looked at Li Zhiyan in front of her.

She was deeply, deeply moved.

This Mid-Autumn Festival family reunion should have been spent by herself, in solitude.

But with Li Zhiyan and Ji Zhiting there, she had a very happy day.

From now on, her life should revolve around these three children.

As for Ji Yunhai, he really wasn’t worth so much of her emotion.

”Son... thank you.”

”If it weren’t for you, Mom really might not have been able to understand so quickly.”

Zhao Manman gently leaned on Li Zhiyan’s shoulder.

Tears were still flowing constantly.

The sadness in her heart hadn’t been very obvious just now, but now it was finally completely uncontrollable.

Li Zhiyan patted Zhao Manman’s back.

He also felt an uncontrollable sadness in his heart.

Seeing his elder upset always brought a sense of empathy.

Feeling the brief mother-son time, his heart felt very warm.

After a while, the two came to the edge of the rooftop, enjoying the breeze.

”Mom, hold onto the railing. You’re still a bit unsteady right now.”

”You still drank quite a lot.”

Zhao Manman’s emotions had calmed down considerably.

Although her head was still a bit muddled.

And Li Zhiyan had also drunk a lot.

”The scenery is really beautiful, Xiao Yan.”

”It’s been so, so long since I’ve felt such a sense of freedom and ease.”

Li Zhiyan looked at Zhao Manman beside him.

”Mmm... I think you can also wear a qipao and enjoy the breeze when you have nothing to do in the future.”

Zhao Manman nodded.

The alcohol went to her head again, and she became a bit confused.

”I’ll carry you back.”

Li Zhiyan was very filial to Zhao Manman. Seeing that Zhao Manman’s emotions were much more stable, coupled with her earlier crying, he knew that the matter of Ji Yunhai was over.

Next, what he had to do was to make Ji Yunhai leave with nothing, and then make him confess his guilt and accept the law.

If it were just a matter of women, Li Zhiyan wouldn’t be so ruthless. Because he was also a scumbag, but Ji Yunhai went too far, wanting to make Zhao Manman suffer eternal damnation.

Then, no matter what, this matter could not be easily brushed aside.

Ji Yunhai must pay the corresponding price.

”Mmm...”

The drunk Zhao Manman leaned on Li Zhiyan’s back.

Then, she let Li Zhiyan carry her downstairs.

...

After a night.

Li Zhiyan slowly woke up.

”So tired...”

Li Zhiyan smelled the faint scent of wine in the air, forgetting how much he had drunk.

He only remembered drinking quite a lot.

Today, his instinctive reactions were temporarily gone.

Drinking really does hurt the body. From now on, I should try to avoid drinking.

He touched his face, and Li Zhiyan slowly became sober.

”I still have to go to Tai Lake today.”

Li Zhiyan remembered his promise to Ji Zhiting to go to Tai Lake.

However, Zhao Manman’s emotions had already stabilized yesterday.

Next up were the matters of divorce and property distribution, and he could finally feel at ease.

While Li Zhiyan was contemplating many issues, the doorbell rang.

Li Zhiyan quickly put on some clothes and opened the door.

He saw Zhao Manman and Ji Zhiting waiting at the door.

”Mom, Xiao Ting.”

Zhao Manman seemed to have come to terms with many things, and her pretty face had a hint of redness.

”Xiao Yan.”

”You’re up.”

After Li Zhiyan invited the two in, Zhao Manman and Ji Zhiting sat down.

”Mom, what do you want to tell me? You’re being so mysterious.”

Zhao Manman looked at Li Zhiyan.

”Let him tell you about this.”

Li Zhiyan could feel that Zhao Manman’s determination was very firm.

”Brother, what is it?”

Li Zhiyan felt a bit awkward thinking about telling Ji Zhiting about Ji Yunhai’s scandal.

”Well...”

”Your dad cheated, and you actually have an illegitimate younger brother outside.”

”What do you think?”

Ji Zhiting looked at Li Zhiyan, unable to believe what he said.

Then she looked at Zhao Manman.

After seeing Zhao Manman’s affirmative gaze, Ji Zhiting finally confirmed that this matter was actually true...

”Divorce!”

”Absolutely divorce! Mom, don’t worry, I will definitely stand by you. Even if you divorce, I’ll follow you. I’m only your child.”

In Ji Zhiting’s heart, Ji Yunhai’s image had completely plummeted to rock bottom.

Zhao Manman looked at the very determined Ji Zhiting, and her heart was filled with emotion.

Her beautiful eyes were also a bit moist.

Like Li Zhiyan, Ji Zhiting was also very firmly on her side.

”Baby.”

Zhao Manman glanced at Ji Zhiting, and Ji Zhiting threw herself into Zhao Manman’s arms.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

Li Zhiyan also felt a bit heartbroken watching them.

After a long time, Ji Zhiting helped Zhao Manman wipe away her tears.

”Mom, just go ahead and divorce. From now on, I’ll only support you, not that heartless man.”

”Only you are my family. I believe my sister will follow you too.”

Ji Yunhai had been too lazy to care for the two sisters since they were little.

At most, he would just leave some money on the table and then leave.

Ji Zhiting could still often get a lot of pocket money, but at that time, Ji Mengting’s family used the concept of ’frugal upbringing’.

So she had even less good feelings for Ji Yunhai.

”Xiao Ting, you’re thinking correctly.”

Li Zhiyan didn’t try to persuade her either. He only knew that in Ji Yunhai’s heart, these three women were nothing.

His heart only contained his son, Ji Yun, and nothing more.

”Actually, he didn’t just cheat and have a child outside.”

”He’s also been transferring family assets recently, planning to leave everything to that Ji Yun.”

”And then make you three leave with nothing.”

Listening to this, a hint of confusion appeared in Ji Zhiting’s beautiful eyes.

Could Dad really do such a thing?

After seeing that Zhao Manman didn’t deny it, she knew it was absolutely true.

Mom was a noble and elegant woman; she would never lie about such a thing.

”I understand, Mom...”

”Before, I really never thought such a thing would happen.”

”Since he has no affection for us at all, we’ll completely break ties with him and separate.”

Li Zhiyan was not surprised by Ji Zhiting’s words, as Ji Zhiting had such a personality of loving and hating fiercely.

Breaking ties with Ji Yunhai was her style.

”Okay...”

”Xiao Ting, go check on Mengmeng. She’s probably waking up too.”

Ji Zhiting wiped away her tears and understood why Li Zhiyan hadn’t answered her questions last night.

This matter was too cruel, and it indeed needed some time for her to process.

After Ji Zhiting closed the door, Li Zhiyan sat next to Zhao Manman.

Today, she looked very well.

Mentally, she should have come to terms with it...

”Mom, what do you plan to do next?”

Zhao Manman glanced at Li Zhiyan.

”Things have come to this point; is there any other choice?”

”Divorce.”

Li Zhiyan asked, ”Are you sure?”

Zhao Manman was very firm.

”I’ve thought it through. Everything you told me last night, I remember very clearly.”

”It’s not worth it for someone like Ji Yunhai.”

Li Zhiyan continued to ask, ”And after the divorce, what are your plans?”
