Beside me, Shen Huoran was still chattering non-stop with Bo Jingzhou, trying to leave a good impression on his future boss and secure a good position, ideally in management.

Then he would only need to sit in the office every day, sipping afternoon tea with the air conditioning on, and directing the people below him to do things.

“Brother-in-law, every year I win scholarships at our school. The teachers all praise me for being…” He was speaking with enthusiasm when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his leg, and immediately he rushed out of the elevator, bumping right into the man holding his sister’s hand.

Nie Yucheng hastily loosened his grip on Shen Wanci, reaching out to support Shen Haoran.

Shen Haoran reacted, suddenly turning back: Damn it, who kicked me.

But in the elevator, besides his parents, everyone else had a blank expression. His parents looked even more confused than him: "Haoran, what are you doing out there? Come in quickly, the elevator doors are about to close."

Bo Jingzhou directly reached out and pulled Shen Wanci, who was standing beside him, inside.

The metal door closed slowly behind him.

Shen Haoran: “??”

He seems to have a vague idea of who kicked him out.

He turned his head to look at Nie Yu Cheng beside him, his gaze sweeping up and down his body. "What's your relationship with my sister?"

He dares to get his hands on her sister-in-law right in front of her brother-in-law.

Nie Yu Cheng smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes: "I'm pursuing your sister now."

"You... look quite decent, and you seem to come from a good background. Why on earth would you want to be a mistress?"

Your sister and brother-in-law have already divorced.

"Impossible."

If he's divorced, then his dead-end job is toast, isn't it?

"Don't you read the news?" Nie Yu Cheng walked into the elevator, "Are you coming up or waiting for the next one?"

Shen Haoran was holding his phone and searching for Bo Jingzhou. He only played games, who had time to read the news.

Looking at the news of his divorce from Shen Wanci all over the screen, Shen Haoran only felt like he had been hit on the head by a heavy hammer. He didn't react until he got to the room.

Pang Mengrong beckoned to him: "You child, what are you standing there for? Come over here and sit down. Have a good chat with your brother-in-law and tell me what's going on."

Shen Wanci glanced at her aunt's eager appearance and knew she must have some ulterior motives: "Aunt, Thin and I are already divorced. Don't let Haoran call him sister-in-law anymore. It would make Mr. Bo very embarrassed."

As she spoke, Bo Jingzhou looked at her and let out a cold snort!

"Divorced...?” Pang Mengrong’s face changed, she turned to look at her husband.

The husband shook his head at her, indicating that he didn't know either.

Shen Haoran, with a world-weary expression, handed the phone over: "Yes, the news is all out."

She just glanced at it, and she felt a little short of breath. At this time, the waiter started serving the dishes. Looking at those expensive delicacies being served on exquisite plates, she felt even colder in her heart.

For this meal, she spent the entire month's income of their family.

"It's alright, it's alright. Divorce isn't a big deal anyway. You young people these days have such hot tempers. You argue and want to get divorced right away, but when you cool down, you just remarry." She comforted herself. At this point, she could only comfort herself. The food was already served; she couldn't afford to make a scene now.

Wouldn't that be a loss?

Halfway through the meal, Pang Mengrong spoke up: "Jingzhou, Hao Ran has been graduated from university for half a year now and hasn't found a suitable job. I wonder if your company has any suitable positions. Could you arrange for him to try it out? It doesn't matter about the salary or position, the main thing is to give him a chance to learn and grow."

Bo Jingzhou: "Recruitment is the human resources department's job. You can have him submit his resume, and if he passes, someone will contact him for an interview."

Shen Haoran: "Brother-in-law, can't you give me a back door? I've looked at the recruitment information for your company, and my professional background isn't quite right. Plus, you require a master's degree or higher, and I...am not qualified."

He's just a college graduate from a mediocre university, barely scraping by.

Bo Jingzhou's fingers, with bones clearly defined, held a cigarette. "About this, you'd better ask your sister, she's more experienced."

Uncle Shen and his family of three suddenly lit up, their hopeful eyes fell on Shen Wanci. They only heard the first half of the sentence, and they didn't pay attention to the second half at all.

Pang Mengrong had a smile on her face: "Wanci, eat quickly, today Auntie ordered all your favorites..."

She put a large crab into Shen Wanci's bowl: "Aunt remembers you loved eating these crabs the most, would Aunt help you peel it?"

Shen Wanci stopped her enthusiasm: "No need, Auntie, thank you. Hao Ran found..."

Pangs Mengrong interrupted her, "When your mother was pregnant with you, your grandfather was furious. He insisted she have an abortion. Look at you now, so accomplished..."

Uncle Shen, who was standing nearby, suddenly rebuked in a cold voice: "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the children? Wanci and they just came back after such a long time, let's have dinner first. We can talk about anything else after we eat."

Pangs Mengrong was scolded, and it seemed like she had reacted, awkwardly saying: "Right, eat first."

Shen Wanci looked at everyone's faces, a knot of confusion forming in her heart. "Grandfather liked my father quite a bit, didn't he? Why, knowing that my mother was pregnant with me, would he make her have an abortion?"

Her gaze was too intense, Pang Mengrong felt a little uncomfortable meeting her eyes and dodged, saying: “Your dad was just a poor boy back then, it’s normal for your grandfather, such a high-level intellectual, to look down on him. Those were many years ago, I was only dating your uncle at the time, I don't know the specifics.”

Shen Wanci frowned, still finding it strange.

Nearby, Nie YuCheng took the large crab from her bowl and used chopsticks to give her a piece of steamed perch.

Their movements were natural, like an old married couple.

Seeing this, Bo Jingzhou's eyes flashed with a thick darkness, "There's still some on the table, you can ask the waiter for more if it's not enough. There's no need to snatch from other people's bowls."

Because of this sentence, everyone at the table's attention was drawn to Nie Yu Cheng and the large hairy crab he had just taken.

Nie Yu Cheng didn't have any embarrassment on his face, he smiled faintly and met his gaze, "Wan Ci has never eaten hairy crabs."

The two families were close, and he was a rather observant person. They had eaten together several times, and even if he hadn't cared back then, he remembered it.

Pang Mengrong: "..."

Bo Jingzhou: "..."

Shen Wanci doesn't eat hairy crabs. Bo Jingzhou didn't know this, after all, besides going back to their ancestral home, they rarely ate together. And Jiang Yajue was not in good health, so Aunt Wang wouldn't prepare these cold foods.

If this had happened before, the topic would have ended there. But now Nie Yuchen raised an eyebrow and countered, "You don't know?"
