Five years without pregnancy means you're too weak; I remarried a powerful man and had triplets

Much better.

These four words pierced Shen Zhiyi's eardrums like icicles.

She finally understood that it wasn't that he was blind, but that he willingly chose to be blind.

For the sake of the child in his womb, and for the sake of that fresh and exciting inspiration, he buried his former self with his own hands.

Shen Zhiyi looked at his incessant chatter and suddenly felt extremely annoyed, losing even the last bit of strength to argue.

She nodded, her tone as flat as if she were reporting the weather: "Okay, I understand. I'll go back for dinner now."

After saying that, she turned and left without looking at Xu Zhesheng again, as if looking at him would dirty her eyes.

Back at her workstation, Yu Meng'an cautiously approached and asked, "Sister Zhi, did you talk to Director Xu? How did it go? Do we need to make any changes? Everyone's waiting."

Shen Zhiyi waved her hand and repeated Xu Zhesheng's original words in detail.

Yu Meng'an: "..."

After a moment of silence, he uttered only the word "cow".

"Alright, since Director Xu approves so much, maybe our appreciation level is just not high enough. I'll have the others edit it as it is now."

She said.

Shen Zhiyi nodded and didn't say anything more.

She reached out and picked up the boxed lunch next to her. Today she was having shredded pork with garlic sauce, served with a small green vegetable. The taste was generally not bad, but compared to the huge meal Zhang Feng had prepared, it was nothing.

Shen Zhiyi ate in small bites until she finished all the dishes, but still had more than half of the rice left.

She doesn't have a big appetite, so eating this much is already quite good.

After throwing the trash into the designated area, he slowly walked towards the rental house.

She didn't care about anything else today, and spent the whole morning editing Su Manman's video. She had already completed half of it, and if she rushed a little more in the afternoon, she could finish it before 5:30.

She didn't get a good night's rest last night, so she needs to catch up on her sleep.

I thought that after yesterday's incident, Xu Zhesheng would understand where her bottom line was and wouldn't bring Su Manman over again.

But as soon as the door opened, she saw that her original bed sheet had been torn off and thrown on the ground, and her other belongings in the room were also scattered messily on the table.

Zhang Feng's incessant voice drifted from the bedroom:

"Manman, don't be afraid. From now on, you can come here to rest whenever you want. Mom will change the sheets and everything else. Just treat this place as your own home. If you need anything or anything that needs changing, just tell Azhe and he'll buy it for you. If he's too busy, you can just tell me."

His tone was full of doting affection, a completely different attitude from when he treated Shen Zhiyi.

Su Manman, supporting her pregnant belly, leaned happily against Xu Zhesheng. Standing at the bedroom door, she watched Zhang Feng tidy up. Hearing this, she smiled happily and said, "Okay, thank you, Auntie."

"Why are you becoming more and more distant? You used to call me 'Mom,' but now you're calling me 'Auntie'!"

"Let me tell you, after this child is born, we'll be a family..."

Zhang Feng muttered to herself.

Upon hearing this, Su Manman blushed and moved closer to Xu Zhesheng.

Xu Zhesheng didn't refute her, but simply reached out and pulled her closer to him, embracing her.

The image was extremely glaring.

Shen Zhiyi immediately realized that Zhang Feng had come today for two reasons: first, to deliver food to Su Manman and Xu Zhesheng; and second, because news of her driving Su Manman away yesterday must have reached Zhang Feng's ears, and she had come today to support Su Manman.

Shen Zhiyi thought she shouldn't have gone forward.

Although she rented the house and was in the right, she didn't have the energy to argue with Zhang Feng. After looking at Su Manman's face all morning, her temper had been completely worn down, and now seeing Su Manman in person made her feel physically disgusted and she just wanted to escape.

Just as she was about to carefully close the door and leave, Su Manman inside seemed to sense something and turned around. Seeing her, a smug look flashed in her eyes, but it quickly turned to surprise. "Sister Zhi?" she exclaimed.

"Sister Zhi, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to take your house. I just ate and I'm really sleepy, so Mom told me to come here and rest. If you mind, you can leave now. I can rest in my car."

"Anyway, there aren't many scenes this afternoon, I can manage..."

As she spoke, she moved toward the door, looking as if she was afraid of upsetting Shen Zhiyi.

Xu Zhesheng also turned around and saw Shen Zhiyi. He subconsciously shielded Su Manman behind him, staring at him with a stern face. The air around them seemed to grow cold.

"I already let you off the hook yesterday. Manman had filming today, and she needs to rest."

The language is concise, but the meaning is very clear.

Before Shen Zhiyi could speak, Zhang Feng, who had been tidying up in the bedroom, came out cursing.

She was wiping things in the room, holding a damp rag in her hand.

Upon seeing Shen Zhiyi, she threw a rag at her: "Why are you here again? I didn't say anything to you when there were too many people on set, but now you've come here again. Shen Zhiyi, don't go too far!"

She threw it with considerable force, but fortunately, her physics was only so-so. Although she threw it at Shen Zhiyi's face, she underestimated the effect of gravity. The rag fell down when it reached Shen Zhiyi and landed with a "thud" at her feet.

Shen Zhiyi glanced down at the dusty rag. Before she could speak, Zhang Feng rolled up her sleeves and stood in front of Su Manman like a protective hen, pointing at Shen Zhiyi and cursing, "I heard you kicked Manman out yesterday, making her not get a good night's sleep. Are you trying to do the same thing again today?"

"With me here today, let's see what you can do!"

"Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of your threats. I'll make a scene and let everyone judge for themselves whether people side with you, this good-for-nothing who hasn't laid a single egg in five years, or with Manman, who's about to give birth!"

Shen Zhiyi didn't want to argue, but seeing how reasonable they were, she felt a surge of anger rising within her.

She stood by the door, her face cold, and said, "I rented this house, so I have the right to come and rest! I didn't stop Su Manman from wanting to rest, and I've already given her the plan. Director Xu can just rent her another house."

This location was specifically used for filming, and the surrounding houses are all old, so it's not easy to find a place to live.

Hsu Che-sheng had already sent someone to contact them yesterday, but the properties were either too old or unsafe, and there were no suitable ones at all.

Hearing Shen Zhiyi say this, his face turned completely cold, and his eyes, which were usually filled with commands through a walkie-talkie, were now filled with malice.

Before he could even speak, Zhang Feng had already raised her voice, her shrill voice seeming to pierce his eardrums:

"You rented it?! Ha, how dare you say such a thing? If it weren't for Ah Zhe making good movies all these years, you, a lousy editor, wouldn't even have a job!"

"For so many years, Ah Zhe has been supporting you. Every piece of clothing you wear, every little expense in the house—wasn't it all paid for by Ah Zhe?"

"It looks like you signed the papers for this house, but Zhe paid for it! We're already being lenient by not kicking you out, and you still have the nerve to kick us out? You're like a dung beetle in a mask, shameless!"

Zhang Feng spoke so quickly and urgently that his spittle almost landed on Shen Zhiyi's face.

As she cursed, she glanced triumphantly at Xu Zhesheng out of the corner of her eye, as if to boast: Look, son, I stood up for you.
