Du Liya was still throwing a fit. "Shen Zhengfeng, you’d better explain yourself! What in the world is going on between you and that Ji Yuehong?!"

Shen Yi was pouring himself a glass of water nearby. Hearing his mother’s words, he was a little speechless. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

’He’d already guided her so clearly. It was Ji Yuehong’s cousin, Li Xiaomei—Chen Feng’s mom.’

’How did things get twisted around to Ji Yuehong?’

Shen Yi turned his head and saw Shen Zhengfeng looking completely calm. It seemed he had already managed to remove Li Xiaomei from the equation.

’Ji Yuehong was just a decoy.’

Sure enough, Shen Zhengfeng sighed and said, "There’s nothing going on between me and Ji Yuehong. Every time we’ve met, she was here to see you, and you were present too. Xiao Ya, stop making a scene, alright?"

After he finished, he looked pleadingly at Mr. Du. "Dad, you know me. After Xiao Ya and I got married, I truly have never been with anyone else. I swear this on my life. If I’ve been with anyone else since marrying Xiao Ya, then may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

When Du Liya heard him make such a venomous oath, she immediately began to soften.

Mr. Du sighed. Just as he was about to say a few words to smooth things over, he heard his young grandson beside him say softly, "Not after marriage, but what about before?"

The expression on Shen Zhengfeng’s face froze.

Du Liya looked utterly confused.

Mr. Du looked over, perplexed.

Shen Zhengfeng sized up the son he had never liked and softened his tone. "Xiao Yi, what nonsense are you spouting? This is grown-up business. Stay out of it. Get upstairs, now!"

Shen Yi gave a nonchalant smile, got up, and went upstairs.

Over here, it was as if a new line of thought had opened up for Du Liya. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Shen Zhengfeng, I remember you were seeing someone before you got together with me, weren’t you?!"

"Didn’t I tell you back then? I had already broken up with her, and she married someone else later..."

The voices behind him slowly faded away as a mocking smile played on Shen Yi’s lips.

’If I just said it directly, Shen Zhengfeng would definitely never admit it.’

’But now that she and her son have come all the way to Ping’an Town, there’s no way he won’t go looking for them!’

Meanwhile, in the Qin Family’s home just a wall away, Xiao Shi was lying over the table, practicing the addition and subtraction they had learned today. Everyone else was busy preparing for tomorrow’s breakfast stall.

The breakfast stall run by Qin Zhonghui and his family now offered a rich variety of items: baozi, mantou, fried dough sticks, and savory pancakes. They also served congee and soft tofu pudding. They had even built up a regular clientele. Though the days were exhausting, the steady income made their lives feel very fulfilling.

Having stayed at her second brother and sister-in-law’s home for so long, Qin Na’s condition had visibly improved. Even her face had a much healthier, rosy color.

Su Yun was making small talk with her.

"Xiao Na, were you okay today?"

"Ah, I’m fine," Qin Na said calmly. "Even though he found someone new so quickly, which definitely feels a little strange, I’m not upset at all. I’m just a bit worried about that girl."

Qin Jiao, who was nearby, asked curiously, "Mom, Auntie, what are you talking about?"

Su Yun thought for a moment. ’Her eldest daughter was older now and could understand certain things.’

She glanced at Qin Na, but it was Qin Na who spoke up openly. "It’s about my ex. We’re divorced, remember? His family found someone to set him up with. They probably want a son."

Qin Na no longer felt that there was anything wrong with being unable to bear a son. Her feelings on the matter had calmed, so when she spoke of her ex-husband, she was indifferent, as if talking about a stranger.

After hearing this, Qin Jiao found it all a bit incredible.

’Her aunt’s abusive ex-husband’s new girlfriend was actually Lin Nian’s older sister.’

She frowned and said, "There must be a pretty big age gap between them, right? And the Lin family is okay with it?"
