Tao Zisheng understood what Shi Qianduo meant, but he could only pretend not to.

After Shi Qianduo finished speaking, she put the necklace in a bag and passed it to him, “We grew up together, but you don’t understand me at all. I don’t like these things at all.”

Tao Zisheng also started to recall. It seemed that in his memory, Shi Qianduo rarely wore jewelry. She was always refreshing and had a pure smile. However, Shen Kaiqi was different. She was obsessed with jewelry, so he gave her expensive jewelry as a gift. On the other hand, Shi Qianduo’s gifts were always from his heart. His paintings, the love songs he sang for her…

“Then what do you want? I’ll give it to you as compensation.” Tao Zisheng said.

Shi Qianduo thought about it seriously. “I remember my mother had an antique brooch. She gave it to Aunt Li. I like it.”

Shi qianduo had heard Gan Tingyu mention that she had exchanged tokens with Li Yinghong as wedding gifts for their children in the future. Shi Qianduo could not guess what the Tao family was thinking, but getting the brooch back was to tell Li Yinghong that it was impossible between her and Tao Zisheng.

Tao Zisheng felt guilty towards Shi Qianduo, so he agreed. He kept the necklace and said hesitantly, “Do you still hate me? Although we can’t be husband and wife, we can at least be friends. I really think of you as a sister.”

Shi Qianduo laughed ,”There’s no need for me to hate you. Some things have already happened. You can’t blame others. Even though I can’t give you my blessings, I really hope that you can live well. ”

“Thank you, Qianduo.” Tao Zisheng was relieved and said with concern, “You have to be well too.”

“Of course, I’ll definitely live better than you!” Shi Qianduo smiled with confidence.

When Tao Zisheng left, Li Yinghong was standing just outside the door. The two of them exchanged a look and headed for the stairs.

At this moment, a young and handsome man walked past them.

The mother and son both subconsciously looked over. This man’s aura was really too strong, and it attracted people’s attention. It was obvious that his status was not simple. In addition, this was a high-class ward, so it was not surprising that the people who came in and out were either rich or were of status.

However, what made Tao Zisheng feel strange was that the man actually entered Shi Qianduo’s ward.

“What’s there to see? Qianduo is so outstanding, how could she not have suitors?” Li Yinghong said.

Tao zisheng did not answer, but he felt depressed.

On the other hand, when He Yian entered the ward, he found Shi Qianduo in a daze again. He asked, “Are you feeling uncomfortable? I’ll call the doctor for you.”

“Then help me find a psychiatrist. I’m not feeling well here.” Shi Qianduo pointed at her heart with a finger and said pitifully.

After He Yian heard this, he sat down and ignored her.

Shi Qianduo was unhappy. “Hey, don’t you have any sympathy?”

He Yian glanced at her, which was a rare sight. “What does it have to do with me that you like to feel sorry for yourself?”

“You…” Shi Qianduo was so angry that she ignored him. However, after she was silent for a while, she couldn’t help but say, “My ex-fiancé came by just now.”

“Mm.” He Yian’s reaction was mild as he looked out the window.

Shi Qianduo also gave up on letting him comfort her. She only felt aggrieved and started to mutter, “You know what? I grew up with Tao Zisheng, and I was sure that I was going to marry him when I was young. He also knew that he was going to marry me, but the future that we had planned for was all gone on my birthday… Actually, I’m sad not because he loves someone else, but because he’s been with me for so many years. It’s not as good as that night. I find it laughable! Besides, if he wanted someone else, he could’ve found someone better than me, right? I’m prettier than her, more educated than her, younger than her, and I’m an upright lady, but he chose an illegitimate daughter who’s inferior to me in every way. She’s a scheming, vicious woman at that! No matter how I think about it, I still feel aggrieved! Doesn’t he have a brain?”

After Shi Qianduo finished venting, He Yian finally turned around and said nonchalantly, “That woman must be really good in bed.”

Shi Qianduo did not expect him to say something like that. “Don’t tell me that Shen Kaiqi’s one night with him is better than all the years I’ve spent with him?” She was so angry that her face turned red.

“Men are visual and sensory animals. When adrenaline rises, their intelligence will drop.” He Yian’s tone was so calm that he sounded like he was making an academic report. Then, he took out his phone and contacted his secretary. “You should have a meal. What do you want to eat?”

Shi Qianduo touched her stomach, “Crystal steamed dumplings and almond millet congee from the Happy Family…”

“Alright,” he said. He Yian forwarded instructions to his Secretary.

However, Shi Qianduo was confused. “Does Happy Family do deliveries?” Happy Family’s business was particularly good, so they didn’t deliver at all. She was just saying it casually.
