Chapter 689: 187: Breaking News! _4

Old Lady Zhao stood in front of the carved railing on the third floor, watching everything below, her lips curling upwards slightly.

All peacetime is born out of the ashes of warfare; it applies to a family as well.

Only after experiencing war can one truly understand peace.

Otherwise, some people would simply not know how to cherish it.

In the evening, Lin Fang stayed for dinner at the Zhao’s.

All was tranquil at the dinner table, but under it, Lin Fang discreetly kicked Zhao Shen.

Zhao Shen, taken aback, looked up, only to see Lin Fang’s smiling face.

Fearing that Shangguan Furong would notice, he quickly resumed eating.

“You guys carry on, I’m going to the restroom.” Lin Fang put down her chopsticks and headed towards the restroom.

“I’m off for a smoke.” Zhao Shen also left the table.

As soon as he stepped out of the dining room, someone gently grabbed his wrist. The pair slipped into the storeroom at the end of the corridor.

“I missed you.” In the darkness, they embraced tightly.

Across the hallway and around the corner was the dining room, where Shangguan Furong was finishing her meal.

She was unaware that her husband and her good friend were in a tight embrace on the other side of the wall.

What an irony.

After a while, they showed up in the dining room one after the other.

After dinner, Lin Fang suggested leaving.

To emphasize her status within the Zhao family, Shangguan Furong said, “Zhao Shen, drive Lin Fang home.”

“Er, is it appropriate?” Zhao Shen hesitated.

Shangguan Furong’s face turned cold, “Do as you’re told! Enough of your nonsense!”

Zhao Shen nodded silently, picked up the car keys, and left.

Lin Fang laughed, “Sister Furong, you really know how to handle your brother-in-law.”

“Piece of cake.” Lin Fang looked extremely pleased.

The next morning, Shangguan Furong made another visit to the Shangguan house.

As she entered the Shangguan’s courtyard, she ran into Ni Cuihua escorting Xu Lian out of the entrance.

“Furong.” Ni Cuihua took the initiative to greet her.

Shangguan Furong responded indifferently with a nod.

She was still bothered about Ni Cuihua’s status.
