After the breakup, Mr. Shang thought that the father was more valuable than the son.

The atmosphere in the car slowly began to become ambiguous. Yang Ming, who was driving in the front seat, looked at his nose and heart. Shang Ji held Song Xier's hand on his side and slowly moved his head closer.

The two people's breaths blended together, and when they were about to get entangled, Song Xier suddenly turned her face to avoid Shang Ji's movement.

"I don't need it." She said expressionlessly and sat up straight.

Not only that, there was an indescribable coldness in her whole body in an instant. She leaned against the car door on the other side, no longer looking at Shang Ji, and at the same time withdrew the hand that was being held.

Shang Ji was not embarrassed. His eyes rested on Song Xier's side face for several seconds, then he looked away and sat back.

On the other side where no one could see, Song Xier's hand hidden in the dark pinched her palm hard, using the pain to remind herself to stay awake.

Yang Ming drove steadily, and Song Xier ate well. Her body, which was still tense at first, began to soften with the slowly blowing warmth in the car, and then she slowly leaned her head against the car window, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, the car had stopped. Not only that, she was almost leaning in Shang Ji's arms, and his hand was still resting on her body.

Song Xi'er was stunned for several seconds before she realized what was happening. When she raised her eyes, she met Shang Ji's eyes looking down at her.

Their eyes met, and there was silence.

"Are you awake?" Shang Ji said, his voice low and magnetic.

Song Xi'er's cheeks were all red from sleep. She blinked quickly when she heard this, and sat up quickly in panic and nervousness.

"Why didn't you call me?" she asked, raising her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth.

Shang Ji laughed when he saw her action: "I'm not drooling."

Song Xier: "..."

The car was parked outside the community. Song Xier looked out and then pushed the car door open: "Thank you for taking me back."

She had already walked away after she finished speaking, and Shang Ji also got out of the car on the other side.

Song Xi'er walked a few steps into the community and found that Shang Ji was still following her. She couldn't help but look back in confusion: "I'm already here."

"Yes." Shang Ji nodded: "I'll take you up."

Song Xi'er didn't even think about it: "No need."

It's not dark yet in the community, and there are quite a lot of people.

Shang Ji's temperament and appearance were so outstanding that several pairs of eyes fell on him from the moment he got out of the car.

Song Xi'er didn't want Su Mei to see Shang Ji and see that he was still following him, so she couldn't help but frown: "It's getting dark, you should go back quickly."

When Shang Ji heard this, not only did he not feel the slightest embarrassment, but he even smiled and said, "I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, so I just wanted to say hello."

"...but my mother doesn't want to see you."

Shang Ji raised his eyebrows: "If it's because of the interview, I can explain it clearly to auntie."

"My mother doesn't know about this." Song Xi'er said urgently, "Don't tell her."

Shang Ji nodded and asked doubtfully, "Then why doesn't Auntie want to see me?"

Song Xier: "..."

She didn't know how he asked such a knowing question.

"Anyway, you are not welcome in my home." Song Xier said with a straight face, "Go back quickly."

Song Xi'er was about to leave after saying this, when a voice suddenly shouted from the side: "Xi'er."

Su Mei was coming back from outside with a grocery bag in her hand. When she saw Song Xi'er and Shang Ji standing together, Su Mei was very surprised.

"Mom." Song Xi'er called.

"Didn't you go for the interview? How was it?" Su Mei came over.

"...Let me go home and wait for the results."

"Aunt Su." Shang Ji said, "Long time no see."

Shang Ji used to call Aunt Su Mei, but he changed his name after Su Mei negotiated for divorce from Shang Zhenglin.

But this time it was the first time it was so formal and the attitude was very polite.

"Yeah." Su Mei nodded, and then asked doubtfully: "How could you..."

"We met by chance." Song Xi'er finished speaking first and looked at Shang Ji: "Didn't you just say that you still have something to do? Let's go quickly."

After Song Xi'er finished speaking, she took Su Mei and walked into the community, fearing that Shang Ji would say something and follow her up to take a look.

Fortunately, Shang Ji didn't say anything.

There was a maintenance sign posted at the door of the elevator. Song Xi'er took a look at it, then took Su Mei's arm and entered the safety passage beside it.

The corridor was very quiet except for the sound of two people's footsteps.

I don’t know if it was because I haven’t climbed the stairs for too long, but I gradually became tired. Su Mei didn’t speak, and Song Xier didn’t speak either.

Song Xi'er was worried about what Su Mei would ask her, but she didn't expect that as soon as she came out of the safe passage, she saw Shang Zhenglin waiting outside.

"Uncle Shang?" Song Xier turned to look at Su Mei.

Su Mei handed the vegetables she bought to Song Xi'er: "Xi'er, go in first."

Song Xier said nothing, turned around, opened the door and walked in.

However, Song Xi'er did not leave after closing the door. Instead, she quietly stayed behind the door to listen to what was going on outside.

During this time, Shang Zhenglin had been living near them and refused to sign the divorce agreement.

But Su Mei was also very persistent and insisted on getting a divorce.

Therefore, the relationship between the two was at such a stalemate, and Song Xier looked on anxiously.

She actually wanted Su Mei and Shang Zhenglin not to divorce. After all, Song Xier could see that Shang Zhenglin was really good to Su Mei and liked Su Mei very much.

As a daughter, Song Xier really didn't want her mother to miss such a good person.

That's why she wanted to secretly hear what was going on with the two of them.

outside.

Before Shang Zhenglin could speak, Su Mei spoke first: "I just saw Shang Ji and Xi'er together downstairs."

Shang Zhenglin frowned.

"Xi'er and I have left the business now. I don't think there is anything that needs to be contacted between Xi'er and Shang Ji, right?" Su Mei frowned: "Why is he suddenly looking for Xi'er? Why is he looking for Xi'er?"

Su Mei naturally didn't believe that they just met each other. The moment she saw Shang Ji and Song Xi'er together, although she was fine on the surface, she was extremely nervous in her heart.

Shang Zhenglin took a step forward: "Don't think so much, maybe we just met him."

"It's impossible to just meet her." Su Mei denied without thinking: "And he is so busy, how can he still have time to send Xi'er back when he happens to meet her?"

"I'll ask later." Shang Zhenglin said warmly, "Don't be nervous yet."

Su Mei was silent for two seconds and then looked up at Shang Zhenglin: "No matter what the reason is, I hope Shang Ji will not look for Xi'er again in the future. I hope you can tell him that since we are no longer from the merchant, then There is nothing good to connect between them.”

……

Shang Zhenglin entered the safe passage, and Su Mei stood still without moving until the footsteps disappeared. She didn't know what she was thinking.

Suddenly, the door behind him was opened, and Song Xier walked out.

"Mom." Song Xi'er looked at Su Mei who was looking over with a pale face, faint tears flashing in her eyes.

"Why did you come out?" Su Mei walked over.

Song Xi'er looked at Su Mei intently, and asked after a while: "You divorced Uncle Shang... was it because of me?"
