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

The difficult problem was posed to Hsu Che-sheng.

He knew Shen Zhiyi's work situation best. The footage that Su Manman had recently filmed had been edited, and the remaining plot required Shen Zhiyi to combine the previous clips. This was a lot of work, and the results might not be as good if it were handed over to someone else.

But Zhang Feng really needs someone to take care of her.

Although he could hire a caregiver, Zhang Feng was his own mother, and he never felt as at ease leaving her with a caregiver as he did with his own family.

He thought for a moment and said to Shen Zhiyi, "Mom isn't completely unable to take care of herself. You just need to buy her food and fetch her water every day."

"I'll have my assistant bring your computer over. You can edit it when you have some free time; it won't delay anything."

He spoke casually, yet his face showed a thoughtful seriousness.

Shen Zhiyi almost laughed out of anger, wanting to question him whether he didn't understand Zhang Feng or editing.

Taking care of Zhang Feng was an extremely troublesome task. She was demanding and had many problems. Once, when Zhang Feng was sick, Shen Zhiyi came to take care of her. Even though she bought the food that Zhang Feng had specified, Zhang Feng insisted that the store she bought from was wrong. She made Shen Zhiyi go to the south of the city to buy the food from the store she had specified when Zhang Feng was hospitalized in the west of the city. Each round trip took an hour. After she bought the food, Shen Zhiyi would complain. Sometimes she would say that if Shen Zhiyi stayed too long, no one would take care of her, and other times she would say that the food she bought was not as good as the food that was freshly made.

Drinking a glass of water is unacceptable if it's too cold or too hot. Although she doesn't have the life of a wealthy family, she always manages to come up with some torturous methods. Shen Zhiyi can only take the thermometer and bring it to her afterward.

Bored while lying down, she liked to chat with Shen Zhiyi about random things. Having grown up in the village, she knew everything that happened there: whose mother-in-law was sick, whose pregnant daughter-in-law had to go to the fields to plant vegetables and chop firewood, who had given birth to her third child, and what so-and-so had bought for their mother-in-law...

In short, the message is that Shen Zhiyi did not do a good job.

Moreover, she couldn't stand Shen Zhiyi sitting down. As soon as she finished the tasks that had been arranged for her, she would find something new for her to do as soon as she sat down.

In a single day at the hospital, one can walk tens of thousands of steps just in the wards.

Every time Xu Zhesheng came to see Zhang Feng, she would never say anything good about her. She would always complain that she needed to watch the IV drip and that the nurses took care of her when she was feeling unwell, as if Shen Zhiyi had done nothing at all.

At that time, Shen Zhiyi never complained for the sake of family harmony, which is probably why Xu Zhesheng felt that she didn't do anything at the hospital.

As for editing, needless to say, every frame had to be zoomed in to see it. Moreover, the remaining content was extremely important and could not be overlooked in the slightest. The audience absolutely could not tell that it was edited. She had to be completely focused and could not be distracted in the slightest. Xu Zhesheng could not possibly be unaware of this.

But he made this request anyway.

Shen Zhiyi didn't complain to Xu Zhesheng, but said, "It's possible, but I can't guarantee that I can submit the edited film on time, let alone that I can complete the workload every day. If I have to finish it, I can't guarantee the quality either, and if it's delayed, the film's completion time may also be delayed."

She was stating objective facts.

Xu Zhesheng's eyes flashed with surprise. Shen Zhiyi used to be able to edit while working, so why can't she do it now?

She must still be dissatisfied with him.

He frowned slightly: "Zhizhi, now is not the time to make a fuss. I know this will keep you very busy, but Mom can't be left unattended, and the movie can't be postponed. Please bear with it. I'll find an opportunity to get the villa for you later."

The last sentence was whispered in her ear, so that only she could hear it.

But one promise is enough. Shen Zhiyi isn't stupid. Judging from Zhang Feng's attitude today, she has no chance of getting the villa without going through legal procedures.

Moreover, even Zhang Feng has made it clear that Xu Zhesheng only made that promise to appease her; he never sincerely wanted to give it to her in the first place, let alone in the future.

She didn't believe it.

"Director Xu."

"If you think editing is so simple, then give that part to other colleagues; they can do it too. Why insist on having me do it?"

"I've already promised to take care of your mother, but I really can't manage to edit at the same time."

This is easy to solve. At worst, she just won't sleep. That's how she always did it. She took care of Zhang Feng during the day and did her work at night, only sleeping two hours a day.

But in the past, it was because she loved Xu Zhesheng that she loved Zhang Feng as well.

Now, she no longer loves Xu Zhesheng, and it's impossible for her to open her heart to Zhang Feng.

She needs to take good care of herself.

She feigned a troubled expression, "If you don't believe me, just call the editing department and ask your colleagues. Everyone's been working overtime every day lately, I really can't do anything about it."

She's right, the editing department has indeed been working overtime every day these past few days, but that doesn't include her.

Without Su Manman's刁难 (difficulties/challenges), she has been completing her tasks ahead of schedule these days. However, fearing being criticized, she always pretends to be very busy and stays in the office until her colleagues who have finished working overtime leave before submitting her tasks.

She seems very busy, but in reality, she spends her time watching dramas and reading novels, and is quite leisurely.

Xu Zhesheng, as expected, did not believe her and made a phone call to the editing department in front of her. The answer he received was the same as Shen Zhiyi's.

His brows furrowed into a single line.

Shen Zhiyi blinked: "See, I wasn't wrong, was I? It's not that I don't want to help, but I've had too many tasks lately, and I really can't do it."

She learned the art of strategic retreat from Su Manman.

"Shen Zhiyi! Stop pretending!"

Hearing this, Zhang Feng, who had been lying in the hospital bed, rolled her eyes: "You could take care of me and edit videos at the same time before, why can't you do it now?"

"I think you're just holding a grudge against Ah Zhe for not giving you the villa!"

"Let me tell you, if you try to please me, your marriage with A-Zhe might continue. But if you keep making excuses, I'll definitely make A-Zhe divorce you!"

She shouted.

Since she arrived at the hospital, the previous conversation had ended. Although Shen Zhiyi knew that Zhang Feng was faking it, she couldn't bring up the divorce again since she had come to the hospital. Now, Zhang Feng had actually brought it up herself.

Shen Zhiyi smiled, stepped forward to tuck the blanket around her, and said gently:

"Mom, you don't need to worry about this. The reason I agreed to take care of you now is because I haven't divorced him yet. But I've made up my mind that the divorce proceedings will have to be carried out sooner or later. Not only that, I will also file a reasonable claim for property division with the court. At that time, the court will sort out all the property acquired during the marriage and distribute it according to responsibility. Given Xu Zhesheng's extramarital affair, I should be able to get at least 50%. It's not like you can just refuse to give me any."

"You're not feeling well right now, so just focus on getting better and don't worry about all that other stuff. Otherwise, you'll say I upset you, and I can't bear that responsibility."
