How could he possibly send something inexplicable to his ex-girlfriend after three years? He, like her, is a person of resolute character

I am Manager Zhang from the Recovery Studio. It seems that Ms. Mo has had too much to drink and has been at our company for an hour without leaving. Could you please come to our company to take her back? If that is not possible, we will have no choice but to report it to the police

Tong Xi felt that his smile was somewhat strange, and she thought he might be in urgent need, so she smiled back but did not pay much attention to it

She would never behave so irrationally when she is sober. Manager Zhang, having dealt with her for a long time, knows that she is usually gentle and cultured, which is why he tolerated her causing a commotion in the office for an hour, neither calling the police nor security.

Tong Xi listened attentively and with great dedication, her emotions were extremely complex and tangled. If it were anyone other than Shen Xiquan who committed infidelity after marriage and abandoned her, Tong Xi feared that it would not be as simple as just blocking and cutting off contact; she would definitely find someone to deal with the situation.

With that said, Tong Xi felt a bit relieved and smiled as she said, "Sure, let's invite Mo Dan as well; I happen to be right at the entrance of her community."

Tong Xi shook her head, a smile of polite refusal lingering at the corners of her lips

Since breaking up with Nie Xiu, Tong Xi has had very little contact with Mo Fei, and she really could not guess what he would need to ask of her until she got into his car a quarter of an hour later and finally asked for clarification

Tong Xi found it strange and asked how he knew his phone number. The other party explained: "Ms. Mo is my client, and she filled out her information here, listing you in the friends section."

The origins of the unknown wintersweet and rose, under the warmth of the heating, emit an even more intense fragrance

The service attitude and dedication left Tong Xi in admiration, and to some extent, he understood why Mo Dan would spend lavishly here. As a Pisces, Mo Dan is someone who is extremely poor at saying no; such individuals often end up getting hurt in various ways before they learn a lesson.

Mo Fei hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I have one very important personal matter to ask of you, and you must not let my sister know. Wait for me for about ten minutes, and I will come to pick you up."

Tong Xi smiled as she listened to him finish speaking, and expressed her differing opinion: "Everything has two sides. I acknowledge that what you said is very reasonable. However, for me, a boyfriend is an unreliable necessity, one that fails to provide timely support and lets me down at critical moments."

Mofei made an OK gesture and chuckled, saying: "Spend freely, after all, it's not my money."

"Oh, how come you are here?" Modan expressed surprise, clearly not remembering anything from the afternoon.

But this person is precisely Shen Xiquan. Strictly speaking, compared to Mo Dan, Shen Xiquan is closer to her.

Manager Zhang smiled without a hint of discouragement: "Just in case, it's better to be prepared than to be caught off guard"

Mo Fei, undeterred, strongly recommended the various benefits of having a "boyfriend," eloquently showcasing the highest level of salesmanship ever seen.

Tong Xi rubbed her sore shoulders and surveyed her new home. This was an apartment that Shen Xiquan had given her after their divorce. It looked quite nice, but the interior was a bit messy, indicating that the owner had no intention of tidying up.

The understanding boss announced in the company group that everyone could leave work early, wishing everyone a Happy New Year, and casually sent out red envelopes. This is one of the good aspects of their company, as they have an early holiday, with just one week remaining until the official Spring Festival holiday.

The unexpected reunion, without a trace of preparation, in an instant, a feeling of suffocation, as if being submerged in water and about to be engulfed by a raging tide, surged forth.

Modan is a friend she got to know only after meeting Nie Xiu, while Shen Xiquan is her fellow townsman from Xizhen, and they have known each other for ten years. He is both a brother and a friend to her, and he has also shown her kindness. During her times of greatest need, it was Shen Xiquan who stood behind her, shielding her from the wind and rain, helping her to overcome disasters and difficulties. Therefore, while she is furious about his infidelity, she feels unable to sever ties with him due to their bond, caught between Modan and Shen Xiquan, leaving her feeling deeply conflicted.

The coffee table was in disarray, scattered with a pile of documents. Tong Xi picked up a sheet that read "Restoration Studio" out of curiosity and began to flip through it. The various methods for restoration were truly eye-opening, and one particularly important aspect was how to comprehensively change oneself to make a striking impression on the other party, rekindling their interest.

Yes, may I ask who you are?

After Mo Dan finished venting, Tong Xi took her leave. Coincidentally, just as she reached the entrance of the community, she received a call from Mo Fei, whose tone was both surprised and envious: "My goodness, your company has actually already started the holiday!"

Tong Xixiao smiled and looked him over: "Aren't you jealous?"

Having witnessed all the defects of this product firsthand, I do not intend to acquire it again

Modan could not believe that she would do such a thing, and she widened her eyes, repeatedly asking, "Is it true?"

"The truth that is absolutely certain." Tong Xi pointed to the half bottle of wine on the nearby dining table, sincerely and earnestly praising her impressive drinking capacity

What is there to be jealous about? Those husbands are merely illusions. As long as she is not unfaithful to me, that is all that matters

Mo Fei's girlfriend's idol happens to be a signed artist of Tong Xi Company, and Mo Fei has been tasked with obtaining a signed photo of the idol for her

However, the two ended their relationship very decisively and completely, mutually blocking each other and deleting all means of contact. Even their mutual friends, Mo Fei and Mo Dan, tacitly avoided mentioning the other person in front of her and Nie Xiu. They vanished from each other's worlds, as if they had never known one another.

As we spoke, sparse and delicate snowflakes began to drift outside the car window, gradually becoming denser; this is the first snowfall of this winter

Manager Zhang smiled warmly and said, "Please take care, and we look forward to your next visit"

Tong Xi finished packing her things and had just arrived at the company entrance when her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar phone number

She does not want to discuss the matter of divorce with anyone. Just a few days ago, she was showcasing her affection on WeChat Moments, provoking public outrage, and in the blink of an eye, she has become a discarded woman. She cannot afford to lose face. The only person she confides in is Tong Xi, as she is a mutual friend of hers and Shen Xiquan.

When Mo Dan woke up, it was already dusk. The lights in the room were off, and the light was insufficient, yet it was enough to see a person sitting on the sofa. The figure in the twilight was beautiful and slender, but appeared somewhat lonely

Manager Zhang quickly sent her a text message. Tong Xi took a taxi to the address and indeed found Mo Dan in an office building. Mo Dan had clearly been drinking, her eyes were glazed, her cheeks flushed, and she was in an exceptionally bad mood, thumping the table and shouting: "Refund me! If I don't get a refund today, I won't leave!"

Mo Dan widened her eyes and said, "Do you think I want to reconcile with Shen Xiquan just to get back together with him?"

This is more like it, the intelligence is still there. Tong Xisong sighed and said: "Time is precious, why waste life entangled with the past? Let's be more ambitious, working hard to earn money is his double share!"

If even such a sweet, tooth-rotting love can instantly develop cavities, what else is there to believe in? In any case, she has long since stopped believing.

A colleague, who is broad-minded and plump, is napping on the desk. Tong Xi does not have the habit of taking a nap, and she stares at the two sheets of autumn fragrance-colored paper. Unfortunately, the Russian writing is beyond her comprehension.

Tong Xi embraced Mo Dan with both hands, too occupied to respond, and with no intention to do so, politely said: "Thank you, I will not have such a need"

As Mo Fei left, the room suddenly fell silent. Tong Xi was carefully examining the recipe. It is said that one cannot truly be so reckless; frugality is a virtue. Moreover, although Mo Fei and Mo Dan are twin siblings, her friendship with Mo Dan is also due to Shen Xiquan. After breaking up with Nie Xiu, she rarely sees Mo Fei throughout the year, so they cannot be considered very close friends.

Shen Xiquan has been immersed in the business world for many years, developing a charming and versatile temperament. He always greets strangers with a warm smile and a friendly demeanor, especially when interacting with the opposite sex, where he exudes a gentlemanly grace. In those years, Mo Dan was almost instantly captivated by him, enchanted by his outward appearance.

The indoor decor is quite elegant, with wooden tables and chairs, and a vase in the corner of the table holding a few plum blossoms. Tong Xi couldn't help but recall the plum blossoms and yellow roses she received today. She did not take the flowers; they were left in the office, only two pieces of card were placed in her bag. Since they were not in Chinese characters, she could not decipher the handwriting. Although she was curious, she was also too lazy to guess. She preferred to remain still, responding to change with constancy, believing that the sender of the flowers would naturally appear when the time was right. Long ago, she had learned to keep her composure. Although she was curious, she was also too lazy to guess.

Long ago, she had learned to keep her composure.

Mo Dan spat, "I am picking up the trash I have already thrown away to use it again. Am I crazy? I am doing this for revenge! As soon as he breaks up with that model, I will immediately break up with him! Let him taste the feeling of being abandoned, double the portion!"

Mo Fei secretly matched these charges with a certain individual, only to find himself forced to smile awkwardly, completely unable to refute them

Please send me the address, and I will head over right away

Tong Xi couldn't help but like the comment: "Oh, your boyfriend is really great"

If it weren't for him making me stay at home doing nothing, I might have already become a renowned painter!" Mo Dan became increasingly agitated as she spoke, unable to help but start cursing Shen Xiquan as a bastard.

If she had not seen it with her own eyes, Tong Xi would not have dared to believe that the usually gentle Mo Dan could be so fierce. The man sitting behind the table saw Tong Xi and exclaimed as if he had seen a savior: "You have come at last."

Mo Fei chuckled and said: "You might find yourself needing to look for me often in the future, as her husband has been changing partners quite frequently."

It was quite similar; besides Mo Fei and Mo Dan, Nie Xiu was also present at the dinner that day

Tong Xila grabbed Mo Dan's flailing arms, rescuing the contract and returning it to Manager Zhang. Relying on her nearly 1.7-meter height and the strength she had developed from years of intense taekwondo training, she dragged and carried the petite Mo Dan, who was only 1.6 meters tall, out.

A soft sound like a thunderclap exploded in my heart

Modan shyly covered her face and explained, "I have been suffering from insomnia lately and wanted to drink some alcohol to help me sleep. Who would have thought I would end up causing a scene at someone else's company"

Tong Xi had not yet had a chance to glance at it when Mo Dan snatched the contract away with a swift motion, nearly slapping Manager Zhang in the face, "Refund, if not refunded, I will not leave"

Tong Xi was very resolute, "There is no such thing as a possibility."

The door behind her made a sound; she thought it was Mo Fei and did not turn around, continuing to look at the recipe. It was not until the person walked to the opposite side that she vaguely sensed something was amiss, and as she raised her gaze, the recipe slipped from her hand

Manager Zhang began to explain: "It is like this, Ms. Mo entrusted our company three months ago to help her restore her marriage. Although we were not successful in restoring it, we have devoted ourselves wholeheartedly to assisting her for three months, and we must charge a portion of the fees. However, Ms. Mo insists that since we did not succeed in restoring her marriage, she should receive a full refund. As you can see, we signed a contract at the beginning, and it is clearly stated in the contract."

Tong Xi suddenly realized why Mo Dan had been wearing high heels recently. She had always been confident in her appearance, presenting herself without makeup, but the only thing she was dissatisfied with was her height. Ironically, the object of Shen Xiquan's recent infidelity was a model, standing at 1.78 meters tall, which was a piercing blow to Mo Dan. However, Tong Xi clearly remembered that Shen Xiquan had once said he liked girls like Mo Dan, who were delicate and dependent, and he appreciated the admiring look in her eyes when she looked at him.

Tong Ximei said: "Yes, how did you know?"

One thirty in the afternoon

Tong Xixiao: "No need to be polite, it is only right. There is no need to treat me to a meal, I appreciate your kind intentions."

Mo Fei hesitantly said: "Actually, it's a private club opened by a friend, and they gave out a few vouchers. If I don't go soon, they will expire."

Tong Xi placed the paper card into her bag, no longer pondering who the person giving the gift was

After speaking, Manager Zhang, feeling quite wronged, took a contract from the drawer for Tong Xi to see

Mo Fei, while forcing a smile, silently mourns for someone in his heart... The innocent little girl from years ago has now been battle-hardened, her heart as cold as iron. She is no longer so easy to pursue or to appease, my brother, the road ahead is fraught with difficulties.

Mo Fei continued to chuckle: "... ..."

Due to the early passing of her parents, she does not like to discuss her background with others, and very few people know that she was born in Vladivostok and returned to her country at the age of eleven. Apart from her family, only familiar friends are aware that she understands Russian and has a great fondness for poetry. The receptionist mentioned that the person who sent the flowers was a man, which narrowed it down further. After some thought, there were only three possibilities: her cousin, Shen Xiquan, and Nie Xiu.

Manager Zhang followed closely behind. Tong Xi thought he was in a hurry to close the door for good, but to her surprise, he took out a business card and handed it to her with a warm smile: "If you need anything in the future, please feel free to contact me."

Mo Fei gentlemanly pulled out the chair for her, laid out the napkin, and said: "You order first, I will go to the restroom for a moment. Don't worry about the cost, order something expensive, after all, it's a voucher"

He is the exact opposite of Shen Xiquan, being gentle and amiable towards those he knows. However, towards strangers, his demeanor and aura exude a sense of indifference and aloofness, as if the surrounding air is inscribed with the words "no entry for strangers"

Tong Xi moved her slightly stiff waist and recounted her glorious achievements at the recovery studio today

"Do not wear those sky-high heels anymore. Shen Xiquan's infidelity is not because you are short. Even if you were to undergo surgery to increase your height to 1.8 meters, he would still change his heart if he wanted to. The one who made the mistake is Shen Xiquan, not you. Why should you look for faults in yourself? Should you really change yourself to cater to someone else's preferences? Heh, isn't that just nonsense?" Tong Xi said bluntly: "You still want to win back a man who has cheated? You still want to reconcile?" Heh, isn't that just nonsense?" Tong Xi said bluntly: "You still want to win back a man who has cheated? You still want to reconcile?"

Upon answering the phone, the other party politely asked: "Hello, may I ask if you are a friend of Ms. Mo Dan?"

Tong Xi joked: "Is it really necessary for you to make such a big deal out of inviting me to a meal for something so trivial? A simple phone call to let me know would suffice"

Tong Xiya Ran: "Is it not?"

The interior of the building is adorned with an antique charm, featuring dark golden floor tiles and light apricot-colored wallpaper. Ink wash landscape paintings hang in the corridor. The intricately carved wooden doors of the private rooms are draped with woven bamboo curtains, and palace lanterns hang inside the rooms, casting a faint orange-red glow, evoking a sense of ephemeral dreams.

Mo Fei asked with a smile, "Doesn't it remind you of the restaurant where we had our first meal?"

Mo Dan had quite an exhausting night, and after drinking, she was sent home by Tong Xi, where she collapsed onto the sofa and fell into a deep sleep

The clubhouse is indeed remote, and the car circled the outer ring road until it almost reached the foot of Meishan Mountain, before stopping in front of a small building that blends Chinese and Western architectural styles. At this time, the ground was already covered in white, and the trees in the courtyard had also turned white at the tops.

Mo Fei tilted her head and asked with a smile, "So, do you want to find another boyfriend?"

After-sales maintenance is also quite laborious; once neglected, it may disappear without a trace.

My cousin has recently been transferred to another city for practical training, so it is unlikely to be him. Firstly, his appearance is not that outstanding to earn compliments from the receptionists. Secondly, he has never been one to embrace an artistic style; he deals with money every day and usually gifts either commemorative coins or gold, making him a very pragmatic and down-to-earth person

Tong Xi gazed at the scenery, feeling a moment of daze in her heart

Mo Fei did not answer her question, but instead asked her if she was free in the evening to have dinner, saying, "You have been accompanying my sister during this time, and I must thank you properly."

The young lady at the front desk said that the person delivering the flowers had a very cold aura and a striking gaze. The one who best fits this description is Nie Xiu

Tong Xi pouted and said with great confidence: "I am a master at spending money; I can use it all up for you in one go, do you believe me?"

Listening to the voice, it is evident that this is Manager Zhang who just made the phone call. Tong Xi asked what was going on
