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

Xu Zhesheng nodded vigorously, as if he had received some great promise, and his eyes finally showed some signs of life.

Zhang Feng, standing beside her, breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, saying, "I knew it! Zhiyi is soft-hearted; how could she really be so heartless!"

Xu Zhi didn't reply, but silently put his phone away and turned to walk towards the balcony.

As the night deepened, he stood on the balcony, gazing at the scattered lights in the distance, feeling as if a stone was pressing on his heart.

He is lying.

Shen Zhiyi's attitude was much more resolute than he had said.

She wasn't just "not firm in her stance"; she rejected him completely and without any room for negotiation.

Every word she said told him that she couldn't avoid divorcing Xu Zhesheng, and that she never wanted to have anything to do with him again.

But he couldn't say it.

I can't say at least not now.

He had to leave his son some hope, even if that hope was false.

Once this period has passed and Ah Zhe's emotions have stabilized, he will slowly tell him the truth.

Xu Zhi had no idea that this lie would push everyone into an even deeper abyss.

The next day, Shen Zhiyi worked all morning and was about to grab something to eat at the cafeteria when she saw Zhang Feng waiting at the door with two insulated containers. Upon seeing her, Zhang Feng immediately smiled, her crow's feet crinkling at the corners of her eyes. "Zhiyi, taking a lunch break?"

Upon seeing her, alarm bells suddenly went off in Shen Zhiyi's mind. She took a step back and stared at her warily.

Every time Zhang Feng came to see her before, it would cause a huge scene and make things extremely unpleasant. Now that she's at a new company, she has just issued a statement that she has no relationship with Xu Zhesheng anymore, and she doesn't want to cause any more trouble now.

"What's up?" She quietly took out her phone, found the security office's number, and if Zhang Feng dared to cause trouble, she would call immediately and never let her do what Su Manman did last time.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Seeing her wariness, Zhang Feng waved her hand and said casually, "I was just passing by and heard from A Zhe that you're working here now. I made a little extra lunch, so I thought I'd bring you some."

"Sigh, look at you now. Even when you're working, you need to take good care of yourself. It's only been a few days, but you look like you've lost several pounds. Mom has cooked a lot, so eat more."

She looked at Shen Zhiyi with a loving smile, handing her the thermos as she spoke.

Shen Zhiyi looked at her strangely, her gaze then falling on the thermos.

Zhang Feng's statement is clearly problematic. The location of the general is not in the city center. How could she possibly pass by here in the middle of the day?

Besides, those two large insulated containers clearly weren't over-made.

Zhang Feng used to be very frugal with food. She would only cook as much as she could eat, and if there were any leftovers, she would definitely save them for the next day. It was simply impossible for her to cook so much more.

Thinking back to Xu Zhi's visit yesterday, Shen Zhiyi roughly understood Zhang Feng's intentions, and her eyes darkened: "I think I made myself very clear yesterday..."

"Oh, Mom knows, Mom knows." Zhang Feng waved her hand up and down, as if to say, "I understand." "Mom knows your worries, I understand. I won't force you, just take your time."

"This work environment is really nice. Well, work hard, Mom's leaving now. Get along well with your colleagues. If there's anything you want to eat, just tell Mom and I'll make it for you."

She smiled and shoved the thermos into Shen Zhiyi's hand without a word, then turned and left without making a fuss.

Shen Zhiyi was a little confused by her attitude. Just then, Yang Chun'er, who had gone to the rooftop to hand in her task, returned. Seeing the thermos in her hand, her eyes lit up: "Oh, Zhiyi, did someone bring you food?"

"What's so delicious? Hurry, hurry, I don't want to eat at the cafeteria. You can't finish these two big buckets, can you? Do you mind if we eat together?"

She didn't stand on ceremony at all, and directly took the food from Shen Zhiyi's hand. Without saying a word, she put it on Shen Zhiyi's table, opened the thermos, and took out the food inside.

Stir-fried yam with wood ear mushrooms, chicken soup with cordyceps flowers and goji berries and red dates, a plate of stir-fried green peppers with pork, and stewed pork ribs with potatoes.

The light-flavored home-style dishes have a wonderful aroma that fills the entire room as soon as they are opened.

These weren't exactly Shen Zhiyi's favorites, but they were still quite good, especially compared to what she ate in the cafeteria. However, the thought that Zhang Feng had made them gave Shen Zhiyi a strange feeling.

After all, when had Zhang Feng ever cooked for her at home before?

Except for the first two days when Zhang Feng would occasionally cook a couple of meals, it was all because Shen Zhiyi's family was better off than her own, and she was worried that her daughter-in-law, Shen Zhiyi, would run away, so she took the opportunity to curry favor with her.

In the years that followed, as Xu Zhesheng gradually became more successful, whenever Zhang Feng came to their house or she went to Zhang Feng's house, Shen Zhiyi always did the cooking, while Zhang Feng would just sit on the sofa eating sunflower seeds and do nothing.

She was also very good at finding excuses for herself, saying that it was to train Shen Zhiyi, because if she had children in the future, she would also need to cook for them.

Shen Zhiyi knew that Zhang Feng simply didn't want to do it, but she didn't care. There was no need for so much division among family members.

But today was the first time she had eaten food that Zhang Feng had brought to her. The last time she had seen Zhang Feng bring food to Su Manman was when she saw Zhang Feng bring food to her.

"Zhizhi, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and eat! We've brought over a lot!"

Yang Chun'er had already served herself some rice and was sitting next to her, eating it with relish. She turned her head and saw that Shen Zhiyi was still standing there in a daze, so she urged her to hurry up.

Shen Zhiyi was initially worried that Zhang Feng might poison the food, but then she couldn't help but laugh. She was also scared by the Xu family. This was a society governed by law, how could she do something so stupid?

She went over and started eating too.

As Yang Chun'er ate, she commented, "This food isn't as good as what my family's chef makes, but it's still alright, better than the cafeteria food."

"Hey Zhizhi, who sent you this?"

She vaguely remembered that Shen Zhiyi lived with a friend, and her family was sick, so they probably didn't have time to bring her food.

Shen Zhiyi pulled a tissue and placed it on the table, then put the pork rib bones on it and said casually, "A friend gave it to me."

Zhang Feng is Xu Zhesheng's mother, and she is now getting a divorce from him. Yesterday, she was already calling Xu Zhi "uncle," so it's not a problem for her to call Zhang Feng "friend" today.

As she ate, she secretly wondered whether today's meal was because Zhang Feng and the others felt they had mistreated her before, or because she hadn't explained things clearly enough yesterday, leading them to want her to get back together with Xu Zhesheng.

But whatever their intentions, Shen Zhiyi's only hope now is to sever ties with the Xu family. Whether they want to be good to her or have other motives, she doesn't need them.
