"Lili," said Su Xueluo, "Actually, you don't have to care about my feelings. I can only hate Ji Shenzhi."

What he meant was that whether Jiang Lili wanted to scold Ji Shenzhi or was still grateful to Ji Shenzhi's help to them had no effect on her.

Because she had only hatred for Ji Shenzhi.

Of course she doesn't care what attitude the people around her treat the people she hates.

"Snow falls..."

Jiang Lili, who is eloquent, doesn't know what to say at this time.

Su Xueluo smiled and signaled that she was fine, saying, "Hate someone is very simple. 'Hate' is a very simple and pure thing. It is difficult to love someone, and 'love' is too complicated."

She said this to make herself look more relaxed.

After seeing through Su Xueluo's purpose, Jiang Lili no longer cared about whether this was the fact or not. She nodded to show that she knew everything.

Actually, she knew it—

Hate evolved from love is much more complicated than love.

However, getting out of love and healing yourself is a long process, and you can only fight alone.

No matter what others say or do, they can't help.

Jiang Lili only hopes that Su Xueluo can win this battle.

Su Xueluo took the opportunity to change the topic and asked, "You still have to go to work next Monday, right?"

Jiang Lili showed a distressed expression, "Yes."

"Just face it calmly." Su Xueluo knew what Jiang Lili was worried about, and then said, "It really doesn't work, please have an afternoon tea."

"I can't escape the afternoon tea," said Jiang Lili. "What I'm worried about is that everyone will tease me to death."

"Are you embarrassed?" Su Xueluo hit the nail on the head, because she felt that there was nothing to hide from the identity of "Mrs. Ye". Jiang Lili was just simply embarrassed. "It's the same sentence, face it calmly."

Jiang Lili thought for a while, "I understand! As long as I am calm enough, the one who doesn't know what to do is someone else!"

"That's right...you can say that. Just do that." Su Xueluo picked up the chopsticks, "You have dinner now."

Next, Jiang Lili transformed into a happy eater.

After the two of them finished their meal, it was still early, so they simply decided to take a walk by the river.

The riverside is a well-known tourist attraction in S City, but because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the number of tourists has dropped sharply. The most lively place in the entire city has become more and more deserted by the end of the year.

"Snow falls," Jiang Lili suddenly said, "I have a question to ask you."

"Um?"

"Do you think we should be 100% honest with the people we love? There is one thing I have never known whether to tell Jiayan."

Jiang Lili's face was full of confusion.

Her expression told Su Xueluo that she really wanted to hear Su Xueluo's answer.

"If you trust him enough, tell him." Su Xueluo said, "If it's a very troublesome thing - if you trust yourself enough, you can also tell him after you have done it."

Jiang Lili seemed to suddenly realize it, but she seemed to understand nothing.

However, vaguely, she already had an answer in her heart.

The two walked from one end of the riverside trail to the other end. Ye Jiayan finally called and asked where Jiang Lili was.

Jiang Lili told Ye Jiayan that at the end, she turned around and said, "Xueluo, we will send you back first."

Su Xueluo shook his car keys, "I drove here. Besides, I have many people to protect me, don't worry about me." After the accident, Su Xueluo followed her bodyguards, and more and more.

They walked around the riverside, and the bodyguards arranged by Song Zichen have always kept a suitable distance and protected them.

Jiang Lili found that she really had nothing to worry about, so she walked over and met Ye Jiayan.

It only takes more than ten minutes to get from the riverside to Jiang Lili's house.

Su Xueluo felt it was still early, so she simply sat down on the bench by the river and looked at the shimmering surface of the river.

She seemed to be thinking, but she seemed to be thinking about nothing, just letting herself go.

The work in the hospital made her look like a gyro equipped with a perpetual motion machine, busy spinning, and she dragged her fatigue home every day.

After all, human energy is limited.

She was exhausted by work every day, and after returning home, she no longer had the energy to think about Ji Shenzhi again.

So during this period, she rarely thinks of Ji Shenzhi again.

Sometimes it happens before she falls asleep, when she just wakes up, or when she is distracted.

However, her thoughts were simple--Ji Shenzhi's figure flashed through her mind, and some memories between them came to her mind.

Then what?

There will be some small waves in her heart.

There is nothing else besides it.

Maybe it's because she's too tired.

Or maybe because she had calmly accepted Ji Shenzhi's deception and betrayal.

As time goes by, she will only become calmer and calmer.

It would be a good thing if life could remain so calm.

The wind blew across the river and blew on Su Xueluo's face.

Although it is already the beginning of spring, when such a gust of wind blows, the chill still seems to penetrate into the bone marrow.

Seeing Su Xueluo curled up into a ball, the bodyguard came over and said, "Doctor Su, it's very late, go back."

Su Xueluo nodded and stood up and left.

Several bodyguards were wearing casual clothes like usual, two of them were slightly closer to Su Xueluo and others were a little further away to avoid attracting attention.

As she walked, Su Xueluo suddenly remembered that she used to walk by the river like this with Ji Shenzhi.

At that time, her heart was full, she should have a smile on her face, and she was probably full of expectations for the future.

Now... it's already very difficult to laugh.

It's getting harder and harder—perhaps, this is the truth of life.

Su Xueluo's car was parked in the parking lot not far away. Shortly after she left, a young man sat on the bench she had sat.

Ji Shenzhi.

Ji Shenzhi did not sit right where Su Xueluo had sat, but sat next to her.

He turned his head - of course he could no longer see Su Xueluo, but he could pretend that she was still here.

He had a lot of things to tell Su Xueluo, and a lot of truth to tell Su Xueluo.

But, not now.

When he handles everything, he will not worry about not having a chance.

There are fewer and fewer cars on the road, and the lights on the office buildings are getting darker, which means it is getting late.

Ji Shenzhi touched the place where Su Xueluo had just sat, got up and left.

As soon as he returned to the Xu family, Ji Shenzhi felt the anxiety that emanated from the inside out.

The police asked Xu Wenwen to come back to cooperate with the investigation. Of course, Xu Wenwen would not come back obediently, but fled abroad.

However, she still caused trouble to the Xu family.

During the investigation of Xu Wenwen, the police found that the Xu family's business had many suspicious points, and the investigation target changed from Xu Wenwen to the Xu family.

For Xu Licheng, who was planning to escape, this was a fatal blow, and it also made him plan ahead again.

If the police find out the truth, let alone Xu Wenwen, Xu Licheng will also be investigated.

Therefore, during the celebration before the New Year, the Xu family was filled with deep anxiety, as if a knife was standing on the top of everyone's head, which would be chopped down at any time and take their lives.

Even Xu Licheng was getting more anxious day by day.

Only Ji Shenzhi was as stable as ever, as if everything was just a trivial matter to him.

Over time, Ji Shenzhi became the pillar of the Xu family. The more stable he was, the more convinced others were.

This is the result Ji Shenzhi wanted.

However, this made Xu Licheng very uneasy.

When Ji Shenyi came back, Xu Licheng called him over and asked, "What are you doing on the riverside? Who did you make an appointment to meet?"

"No. I'm just going for a walk." Ji Shenzhi said, "Brother, have you been sending people to follow me all the time? The people you sent can confirm my words."

Sure enough, Ji Shenzhi always knew about it.

After a long time, Xu Licheng did not explain, but just said, "Be careful, you have to understand me."

"I can understand the special period." After a pause, Ji Shenzhi said again, "We are leaving soon. It is not an exaggeration to be careful now." However, it is useless.
