Jian Mei thought silently in her heart: Shanshan is sorry, my mother has to start a new life.
Shanshan, while you are there, you must bless your mother.

Yang Lina is not in a good mood either.
Seeing that the dinner time invited by Gavin was getting closer and closer, Li Jingming took Yang Lina upstairs and changed into a decent suit.
Yang Lina didn't plan to go. She had a big belly and a red tie in her hand. She stood in front of Li Jingming and helped him tie it carefully. She also patted the folds on Li Jingming's shoulders.
"Remember to drink less wine at the dinner, remember..."
Before Yang Lina could say the next words, Li Jingming raised his lips and smiled slightly: "Speak less and listen more."
Yang Lina smiled, these words were already ringing in Li Jingming's ears, and Yang Lina emphasized them more than once.
"That's good, leave early and come back early."
"good."
Li Jingming lowered his head and touched the tip of Yang Lina's nose lightly.
Yang Lina sent Li Jingming to the door, watched him drive Su Han's car out of the alley, and then returned to the house.
After entering the house, she went directly to her room, got into bed and read a book to cultivate her sentiments.
***
Beijing Hotel.
Gavin arrived in the afternoon, and Xu Zhiwen sent someone to pick him up at the airport before he arrived.
The last time Mr. Gavin came, Yang Lina left a deep impression on him, so he deliberately brought his wife Rita with him this time.
When the dinner started, Rita was holding red wine in her hand and walking through the crowd holding Gavin's arm.
The last time Gavin went back, he kept telling her the love story between Li Jingming and Yang Lina.
Rita is a famous writer. What she likes most is listening to other people's stories, so she is looking forward to meeting Yang Lina.
When Rita glanced at the door from time to time, there was another person in the crowd who was looking forward to Li Jingming's appearance.
Li Jingming arrived at the door of the hotel half an hour before the invitation time, but he was not in a hurry to enter the venue, but waited ten minutes before the start.
Li Jingming was led into the venue by the waiter. As soon as he entered, everyone looked at him curiously.
These people are from famous and famous families, and they are very curious about Li Jingming, a newly rising young man.
What kind of person can win the favor of the Su family, the help of Song Siyang and Xu Zhiwen, and at the same time make Gavin so obsessed with him.
When Li Jingming appeared in everyone's sight wearing a decent black suit and a standard short haircut, their first impression of Li Jingming was his tall and cold appearance.
This man has extraordinary appearance and gives people a sense of uprightness.
His facial features are sharp and angular, his eyes are full of energy, and his tall and powerful body exudes nobility and reserve, as if he has the aura of a king.
"Hi, Jingming."
Gavin spoke less than standard Mandarin and waved excitedly towards Li Jingming, and the couple walked towards Li Jingming arm in arm.
Li Jingming nodded, and when his tall body passed by the waiter, he turned politely.
"Hello sir, long time no see."
Li Jingming politely extended his hand and shook hands with Gavin.
Gavin looked behind Li Jingming expectantly, and asked with some disappointment: "Madam, why didn't I come with you?"
Gavin's Chinese was a bit stiff, and it took Li Jingming a few seconds to realize that he was asking about his young wife.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gavin, my wife is pregnant. She has a big belly and it's not convenient for us to attend such a banquet."
Li Jingming explained, Gavin and Rita looked confused, and the translator on the side quickly gave the couple a brief explanation.
Gavin and the translator communicated in German that Li Jingming could not understand. The translator said to Li Jingming: "Congratulations. This is my wife Rita next to you. She is a writer. She likes you very much."
Love story, I want to meet your wife.
If it's convenient, can we ask your lady to show your respect at noon tomorrow and sit down for a light meal together?"
"This is no problem, it's okay."
Li Jingming smiled, there were many people tonight, and my wife is too sleepy to come, but she can do it tomorrow.
"Thank you so much."
The translator translated Gavin's words verbatim.
Everyone present greeted each other for a while and then began to sit down to eat.
Yang Xue, who had been observing Li Jingming in the corner, saw exactly when Li Jingming was looking for a seat, picked up two glasses of red wine, and walked towards Li Jingming with elegant and dignified steps.
I have to admit, this man is very dazzling.
Yang Xue was wearing a black V-neck dress today and a pair of white crystal shoes with diamonds on her feet.
She bought these from abroad, and they are also available in China, but few people wear them in the mainland. Only wives from wealthy families can afford such shoes.
Yang Xue was full of confidence in her dress. When she came to bed tonight, she had already attracted the attention of all the men, but Li Jingming was the only man who didn't even look at her.
With Li Jingming like this, Yang Xue always felt that he was just faking it.
In the world, men look at women based on virtue. She has never believed in the idea of a gentleman, but when facing men, she must pretend to be gentle and dignified.
Yang Xue came to Li Jingming, sat elegantly on the chair next to Li Jingming, and said pretending to be surprised.
"Hello, we meet again."
Yang Xue smiled lightly, her full lips painted with light red lipstick slightly raised, and her green-white slender fingers stretched out in front of Li Jingming.
Li Jingming first looked at the hand that was stretched out in front of him for no apparent reason, and then looked up at the person in front of him.
Li Jingming's mind paused for a moment, and the next second he realized that it was the woman he had sex with last night.
He glanced at Yang Xue's hand and did not raise his hand to shake hands, but nodded with a faint expression.
"Sir, it's a pleasure to meet you again. What's your name?"
Yang Xue pretended to be surprised, her eyes were shining with starlight, and she looked incredibly gentle.
"Li Jingming."
Li Jingming's expression remained calm.
Yang Xue didn't mind Li Jingming's alienation from her at all. She pushed a glass of red wine in front of Li Jingming.
"Sir, can I have a drink with you?"
Li Jingming was a little irritable. He suppressed the impatience in his heart and glanced at Yang Xue.
"Thank you, Miss Yang."
He picked up the wine glass, took the initiative to touch the goblet in Yang Xue's hand, and took a sip of the red wine inside.
Li Jingming's cautious look fell in Yang Xue's eyes, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Sir, you are so interesting."
Li Jingming glanced at Yang Xue with dark eyes.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that this woman was deliberately getting closer to him.
Her surname is the same as that of her daughter-in-law, and her gentle temperament is vaguely similar.
However, Li Jingming knew in his heart that Yang Xue was definitely not the same type of person as his wife.
