As soon as Zhang Feng finished speaking, a series of unhurried footsteps came from behind her.

"Sister Zhizhi, we're here!"

Pei Jin's clear voice came from the end of the corridor. He was wearing a light yellow sweatshirt and light-colored jeans, and he walked towards us like a ray of sunshine.

Beside her, Lu Zichuan followed with his long legs. Today he wasn't wearing a suit, but only a light gray trench coat over a simple white T-shirt and black casual pants. He looked less sharp and more relaxed than usual.

But when those eyes saw Zhang Feng and Xu Zhesheng standing at the door, they instantly darkened.

Shen Zhiyi looked in that direction almost reflexively, and the moment her eyes met Lu Zichuan's, the tension in her heart suddenly eased.

"President Lu... Pei Jin..." She subconsciously took half a step towards the door, as if instinctively wanting to get closer to them.

Zhang Feng and Xu Zhesheng also turned around at the same time.

The moment Xu Zhesheng saw who it was, his expression changed instantly.

Lu Zichuan...it's Lu Zichuan again...

Is Shen Zhiyi really with him?

And the man next to him, could he be Lu Zichuan's friend?

Have they become so close that they can meet each other as friends?

Zhang Feng's expression was also not good.

Of course she remembered Lu Zichuan.

His status, position, and wealth are all things that Xu Zhesheng can't even dream of matching.

She couldn't help but glance at Shen Zhiyi again. Her outfit today, the necklace, and the radiance that emanated from her very being... Could it be that she had really climbed up to this big tree?

Then what about her Ah Zhe? What competitive advantage does he have?

Zhang Feng swallowed back a thousand questions that she wanted to ask.

She knew better than anyone that the man in front of her was someone she couldn't afford to offend.

A fawning smile quickly spread across her face, and her voice rose a few decibels: "Oh, isn't this Mr. Lu? We met at the hospital last time. Things were so urgent, and I said some unpleasant things. Please forgive me, old women like us!"

As she spoke, she took a half-step forward, as if trying to appear more friendly: "I just happened to cook a big feast at home today, all of which are Zhizhi's favorites! Come and eat with us, consider it a chance to apologize for what I did last time!"

Looking at Zhang Feng's face plastered with a fake smile, Lu Zichuan instantly recalled the image of her pointing at Shen Zhiyi and cursing at her in the hospital last time.

His face was so dark it could drip water, and he glanced at Xu Zhesheng behind her, letting out a cold snort.

His gaze fell on Shen Zhiyi's face, catching the fleeting unease and plea for help in her eyes, and he immediately understood everything.

This mother and son are so idle all day long, they came to ambush her again.

"No need." Lu Zichuan's voice was as cold as the wind in December, devoid of any warmth. "We have other things to do. Don't stand here blocking the way, or I'll call security."

He spoke bluntly, without even mentioning that Shen Zhiyi wanted to move.

For whatever reason, he didn't want Xu Zhesheng to know her new address.

After all, she was someone he had once deeply loved, and he didn't want Shen Zhiyi to soften her heart one day and be tricked back by this selfish man.

Zhang Feng was taken aback, and her smile faltered.

Before she could say anything more, Xu Zhesheng suddenly stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Shen Zhiyi: "Zhiyi, are you really going with them?"

His tone carried a questioning tone, a sense of resentment, and a hint of pleading that even he himself didn't realize.

Shen Zhiyi looked at him and suddenly found it somewhat ridiculous.

What right did he have to speak to her like that? Was it because he cheated on her? Because his mother pointed her finger at her and berated her? Or was it because of his current "I know I was wrong, you should come back" attitude?

"Xu Zhesheng," she called his name, "I've already explained everything to your father. If you don't understand, go ask him again. I really have something to do now, so you and your mother should leave quickly."

After she finished speaking, she walked straight towards Lu Zichuan and Pei Jin.

Lu Zichuan naturally took a half step to the side, blocking Zhang Feng and Xu Zhesheng's view, like a silent wall.

Pei Jin also came over, squeezing between them and silently blocking Xu Zhesheng's view. She affectionately took Shen Zhiyi's hand and said, "Sister Zhiyi, we've come all this way, won't you invite us in for a seat?"

Shen Zhiyi then opened the door, invited Lu Zichuan and Pei Jin inside, and without even glancing at Zhang Feng and Xu Zhesheng, turned to close the door.

Xu Zhesheng was unwilling to give up and wanted to step forward again, but Zhang Feng suddenly pulled him back.

Although she was unwilling, she knew that now was not the time to speak, so she tried to save face: "It seems that I won't be able to finish the food on that table today... But it's okay, Zhizhi, you can go ahead and do what you need to do. Mom will take Azhe back first. I'll let you know the time in advance next time, and we can eat together again."

After saying that, she took Xu Zhesheng and left in the elevator.

As the elevator reached the first floor, Xu Zhesheng finally broke free from Zhang Feng's grasp and asked with dissatisfaction, "Mom, why didn't you let Shen Zhiyi come with us?"

"What exactly are they up to today?"

"She usually doesn't dress up, so she must be going on a date today. Who knows what kind of outrageous things that Lu Zichuan might do! How can I let him steal her away from me!"

Seeing her son's impatience, Zhang Feng suddenly reached out and flicked his forehead hard: "You child, you used to be so steady in doing things, why are you in such a hurry now?"

"What was with that tone just now? Zhizhi was fine when she saw us, but her face instantly turned ugly after you questioned her. Couldn't you tell?"

"I've told you to change, to change! How are you going to win Zhizhi back if you don't change?"

Zhang Feng looked at Xu Zhesheng with exasperation: "Didn't you understand what she just said? Your father said she wants to see us change. If you continue like this, what's the difference between now and before?"

"If we force her to leave, she'll only feel annoyed! We've already shown our sincerity by coming today, and she's wise enough to leave. She's sensible and definitely understands what we mean! Anyway, there are still a few days left, are you worried about not having a chance with her?"

Zhang Feng's voice was bright and clear, piercing straight into Xu Zhesheng's heart.

He clenched his fist: "But..."

"But what 'but'? If you keep being so stubborn, I'm not going to bother with you anymore!" Zhang Feng snorted, crossing her arms. "You want to go up and stop them from being together?"

"Fine, go ahead! Anyway, Zhizhi is still your wife, so you have the right to tell her what to do. Go ahead!"

Xu Zhesheng hesitated for a few seconds downstairs, wanting to move, but then felt that Zhang Feng was right. In the end, he pursed his lips and walked outside without saying a word.

Zhang Feng is right. Shen Zhiyi needs to see his changes now, and he can't rush things.

With seven days left in the cooling-off period for divorce, he still has time and isn't afraid of not being able to reconcile with her.
