Zou Bai’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Today is the first time I’ve met Jiang Yi. I didn’t prepare a gift for him. 1’11 make it up to him another day. I’ll take my leave first.”

Jiang An sent Zou Bai out the door. “Jiang Yi doesn’t like many things. We’ve already bought them at home. You don’t have to worry about preparing anything else.”

Jiang An was worried that Zou Bai would give her another expensive gift, so she wanted to dispel his ideas.

Zou Bai only smiled and didn’t say anything else. The two of them bid goodbye. Jiang An only returned home after seeing Zou Bai’s car disappear around the corner.

Jiang An did not call Zhao Bing and only sent her a WeChat message.

Jiang An: “Sister Bing, please help me reject the endorsement.”

Zhao Bing: “Alright, 1 understand how to handle it. Don’t worry.”

When Zhao Bing received this message, she knew that Jiang An did not want to have anything to do with the past. Instead, she wanted to end it completely.

After Si Cheng received the result, he was disappointed and a little angry. He was angry that Jiang An had disregarded the many years of relationship between husband and wife, and that he did not even have the right to do anything now. It was fine to provoke Jiang An, but the consequences of provoking the Jiang family were not something he could bear.

On the other hand, Zou Bai had also returned home. Zou Bai usually lived alone in a high-class apartment near the company, but today, he suddenly wanted to go back to his old residence to look at the photo albums.

When Zou Bai saw Jiang Yi today, that familiar feeling made him feel like he had seen him in a photo somewhere before. Hence, he thought of flipping through the photo album. That, combined with the strange closeness he had with Jiang Yu made him feel a little abnormal.

Coupled with Jiang An… Zou Bai felt a little uneasy if he didn’t figure out these things. Ever since he was young, not many people could affect his emotions like this.

Zou Bai entered the living room and saw Wen Li playing with his eldest brother’s youngest son. He greeted, “Mom.”

When the five or six-year-old child saw Zou Bai, he immediately straightened his posture and shouted, “Uncle.”

Zou Bai nodded in agreement. When Wen Li saw her youngest son, she snorted with her nose. “Wow, Fourth Master Zou still knows to come back!”

Although she was unhappy, Wen Li turned around and asked the servant to bring out Zou Bai’s favorite fruits. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zou Bai sat on the sofa and picked up the washed grapes that were placed in a crystal bowl. He put them in his mouth. The sweet and juicy taste made him very happy. “If 1 didn’t come back any sooner, your resentment would be so strong that I could see it from my office.”

Wen Li rolled her eyes at Zou Bai. “Look at you. How old are you? You don’t even have a girlfriend. How can 1 not be resentful?! If you let me worry less, I’ll be fine every day!”

“By the way, I asked you to meet Jiang An more. Have you gone to look for her?”

Zou Bai swallowed the grape in his mouth and looked up at Wen Li. “Yes, we just met.”

Wen Li’s face was filled with joy. “How was your chat?”

Zou Bai said calmly, “It was alright.”

Wen Li was a little dissatisfied with Zou Bai’s answer. “What do you mean by alright? What do you think of Jiang An now?”

Zou Bai looked at Wen Li and said unhurriedly, “We haven’t seen each other for so many years. 1 have to get to know her better first. Why are you so anxious? I’m not the only one who has the final say in relationships. We still have to see what she thinks.”

When Wen Li heard this, she crossed her legs and leaned against the back of the sofa. “What else can she think? Of course she’s willing. Not to mention that she’s divorced now, even if she’s single now, only our Zou family can choose her.”

Wen Li had no choice but to set her sights on Jiang An. It wasn’t like she hadn’t arranged a blind date for Zou Bai before, but Zou Bai didn’t even show his face. She had also tricked Zou Bai into accompanying her that day to meet Jiang An. Fortunately, her youngest son didn’t dislike Jiang An that much because of their childhood friendship. Otherwise, with his time being so tight, she wouldn’t know how to find someone for him.

Zou Bai didn’t reply and ate another grape. “Eldest Sister, Second Brother, and Third Brother have all given birth to grandchildren for you. Why are you staring at me? You, don’t blindly matchmake me. 1 only treat her as my younger sister.”

When Wen Li heard this, she panicked. “How is she just a sister? I don’t see you having this much patience to talk to your cousins! Don’t you have feelings for Jiang An?!”

Zou Bai raised his eyebrows slightly. “When did 1 ever tell you that I have feelings for her? Don’t spread rumors about me..”
