Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

Xie Jingyao stood not far away, his eyes cold and filled with a sense of oppression.

Si Nian and Lin Tinghan both looked in his direction. Before Si Nian could speak, Lin Tinghan spoke first.

"Ah Yao, what a coincidence today! Your girlfriend is my wife's best friend. I'll treat you to dinner tonight, so the four of us can have a good get-together."

"Who wants to eat your food?" Song Shuyi was the first to refuse.

It was only after a moment's realization that she realized the woman Lin Tinghan was referring to as his wife's best friend was none other than herself.

Just as she was about to retort, she saw Si Nian standing behind Lin Tinghan, giving her a meaningful look.

Song Shuyi could only remain silent, completely bewildered.

Si Nian also didn't want Xie Jingyao and Lin Tinghan to appear at the dinner table together.

Because chaos and disorder are inevitable.

So she said to Lin Tinghan, "Let's get together again when we have the chance. There are a lot of reporters watching us now. If they see you contacting me privately, it might cause trouble for the Lin family again."

Lin Tinghan hesitated for a moment.

Si Nian is right.

He came out today under the pretext of seeing Hengheng, and after leaving the hospital, he secretly came to find Si Nian on the way.

Si Nian urged Lin Tinghan, "It's getting late, you should go back now."

"Okay, I'll come see you again in a few days. Niannian, I'll find the best lawyer to help my mother-in-law."

Si Nian opened the door and nodded perfunctorily.

Lin Tinghan then said, "You can take me downstairs, or even to the elevator."

"..."

Si Nian followed Lin Tinghan toward the elevator.

She still had some questions left to ask.

"By the way, Lin Wenshuang had a boyfriend while I was studying abroad, right?"

Lin Tinghan paused for a moment, then replied, "No, why are you suddenly concerned about Wen Shuang's love life?"

"It's nothing, just asking casually. How's she been lately? Is she still at the old house?"

"I had a relapse a while ago and stayed at the old house for treatment."

Lin Tinghan thought that Si Nian mentioned Lin Wenshuang, probably to urge him to go to Lin Wenshuang and get Zhou Huai's sheet music back.

"Niannian, Wen Shuang's emotions have just stabilized a bit. I'll have to ask her about your brother's sheet music in a while, so don't worry."

"It's amazing you still remember this."

Lin Tinghan was slightly dissatisfied with Si Nian's sarcastic reply, but he didn't want to argue with her at this time.

So after getting into the elevator, I said to her, "I'm going back now. I'll send you a message, remember to reply."

After Lin Tinghan left, Si Nian returned.

But Xie Jingyao was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing Si Nian's searching gaze, Song Shuyi said, "That man left right after you and Lin Tinghan. Tell me honestly, who is he?"

Si Nian blinked dryly.

Song Shuyi added, "When you and Lin Tinghan were talking, his cold gaze almost pierced through you both. Something's definitely not right. You two are definitely having an affair."

"I guess so, it's only half a leg right now."

"Hmm?" Song Shu asked tentatively, "You suddenly decided to divorce Lin Tinghan, could it be because of that handsome guy? Did you cheat on him?"

"No." Si Nian changed out of her slippers and put on her shoes. "My divorce from Lin Tinghan didn't really have much to do with him."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Song Shuyi pointed in a direction and said, "Take that elevator."

"Okay, I'll go out for a bit, I'll tell you what happened later."

"Go quickly, go quickly."

Si Nian took the elevator directly to the underground parking lot. As she got off, she saw Xie Jingyao start his car and leave.

She quickly reached out to stop her, "Wait a minute."

Xie Jingyao acted as if he hadn't seen it, and swerved to the side with one hand on the steering wheel.

Seeing this, Si Nian immediately reached out and pulled on the passenger door.

The car door was locked; Si Nian neither opened it nor let go of it.

Xie Jingyao lightly pressed the accelerator, and Si Nian's body was pulled back, about to fall to the ground, when he quickly stepped on the brake.

"What's wrong with you? If you want to die, don't try to scam me."

Hearing Xie Jingyao's merciless words, Si Nian slammed her hand on the car window.

"Open the door, Xie Jingyao!"

"Why don't you continue catching up with your lover?"

"Open the door first."

Xie Jingyao unlocked the car, and Si Nian climbed into the passenger seat.

"I didn't know Lin Tinghan would suddenly come."

"You didn't expect me to suddenly show up, did you?"

Si Nian bit her lip. She really hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence that Xie Jingyao and Lin Tinghan would run into each other.

Seeing her like this.

Xie Jingyao said, "I told you before that the premise of the deal was that you divorced your ex-husband. You didn't do that, so there's no need for the deal to continue."

Xie Jingyao finally turned his head to look at Si Nian.

He narrowed his dark eyes, a dangerous glint in them.

Si Nian's heart tightened. "No, I'm already divorcing him. I just..."

She was interrupted by Xie Jingyao before she could finish her explanation.

"Niannian, those who try to have their cake and eat it too will only capsize and will never have a chance to reach the shore safely."
