"Are we still getting a divorce?"
Her rough husband threatened her while gripping her waist. She had no choice but to beg for mercy, "No, we're not getting a divorce, we'r...
Upon hearing the voice, Mu Jingsheng turned around abruptly in surprise and saw Qin Zheng.
The black sedan was parked at the entrance. Qin Zheng stood properly beside the car. When he saw Mu Jingsheng looking at him, he opened the back door and looked at Mu Jingsheng with a calm and composed expression.
Mu Jingsheng couldn't help but rub his eyes. If he wasn't mistaken, this was Qin Zheng?
Why is Qin Zheng here?
And what else did he just say?
Should we take them home?
With a series of questions in his mind, Mu Jingsheng ignored the old lady and strode towards Qin Zheng.
He pulled Qin Zheng away from him and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
"My wife asked me to come."
"What?"
“My wife said that the old lady has cancer. To put it bluntly, she wanted to spend more time with you before she passed away, and we, as her younger generation, cannot deprive her of that right. My wife knows you will be in a difficult position, and she is a very understanding person, so she asked me to come and pick you up,” Qin Zheng said.
Mu Jingsheng showed no outward expression, but he was incredibly surprised inside.
Ye Yun actually asked him to pick up the old lady?
He really didn't expect that.
Mu Jingsheng felt an even greater sense of guilt. Looking at Qin Zheng, he couldn't express his gratitude. After several seconds of silence, he could only pat Qin Zheng's shoulder in silence.
"Qin Zheng, thank you all."
"Please don't say that." Qin Zheng said calmly, looking at Mu Jingsheng's excited face, "Dad, my wife has never been a troublemaker. She has always been kind-hearted. She wouldn't fight back unless someone bullied her too badly."
Mu Jingsheng nodded.
He naturally understood this principle, so how could his and Ye Xia's daughter be so ignorant?
But Ye Yun was too sensible, so sensible that it made him feel a little sorry for her.
Mu Jingsheng turned around and glanced at the old lady behind him, only to meet her eyes, which were fixed on him, causing him to sigh involuntarily.
We're all family, so why are our personalities so different?
How could a cunning father and a proud mother give birth to such a stupid son?
It's because he grew up under his maternal grandfather's care, but how could such a kind and benevolent grandfather raise such an arrogant daughter as his mother?
Mu Jingsheng couldn't understand any of these things.
Finally, with Qin Zheng's help, he helped the old lady into the car, which Qin Zheng then drove to his villa.
But the old lady didn't seem to appreciate it.
She found fault with her grandson-in-law, Qin Zheng, relentlessly. After getting in the car, she started nitpicking, complaining about the strong smell and how Qin Zheng's driving was bumpy, making her feel unwell. She even worried that Qin Zheng's poor driving skills might cause her an accident.
Qin Zheng simply laughed it off.
Feeling embarrassed for his son-in-law, Mu Jingsheng took the initiative to explain to the old lady: "Qin Zheng used to drive a transport truck in the army. He could carry so much cargo without any problems. Why would he have an accident while carrying you?"
As soon as the old lady heard this, she immediately felt like she had caught Qin Zheng red-handed.
Rolling her eyes, she looked down on Qin Zheng and said with a surprised expression, "A transport truck driver in the army? Oh... so you're just a lousy driver, tsk!"
Well, that's even harsher.
Mu Jingsheng was genuinely angry at his mother's sharp tongue, but he was helpless to do anything about it.
He knew his mother was deliberately trying to embarrass Qin Zheng. Sitting in the passenger seat, all he could do was pat Qin Zheng on the shoulder, hoping he wouldn't be angry with the old lady.
Qin Zheng simply smiled calmly, "Don't worry."
If he were to get angry with an old lady, he must be incredibly weak.
Seeing that he really showed no signs of anger, Mu Jingsheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qin Zheng with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
His son-in-law is calm and collected; he's a good man.
"You borrowed this car, right?"
Then more noise was heard from behind.
Mu Jingsheng breathed a sigh of relief, but the old lady who had come up empty-handed was still unwilling to give up.
Grandma Mu believed that someone like Qin Zheng, who had climbed out of the mountains, was so poor that all he had left was face. How could he possibly be indifferent to her mockery?
She leaned back in her seat with an air of superiority, her chin slightly raised, and said in a condescending tone, "You guys do have some skill, managing to borrow a car. But this car is cheap, not even worth a single wheel of our car. I suppose they look down on you, which is why they lent you such a cheap car."
"Mother, please stop talking." Mu Jingsheng couldn't stand it anymore and turned around to scold her in a low voice.
Grandma Mu looked at Mu Jingsheng and frowned, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? He's not in a hurry yet. Could it be that I hit the nail on the head and he's getting angry? Well, he should be the one getting angry, shouldn't he?"
Because of Ye Xia, she disliked Ye Yun and Qin Zheng equally.
Mu Jing was furious and extremely agitated: "Mother, we'll be home soon, please stop talking!"
"That's your home, not mine."
Grandma Mu snorted coldly, closed her eyes, and began to rest. Qin Zheng's silence meant that she had won this round.
"The car belongs to our company."
Suddenly, Qin Zheng said.
Grandma Mu, who had just closed her eyes, paused slightly, then opened them again, looking at Qin Zheng with a surprised gaze through the rearview mirror.
In the rearview mirror, Qin Zheng's narrow, eagle-like eyes beneath his thick eyebrows were exceptionally indifferent, and his tone was calm: "This car is indeed not very good. The main reason is that the company plans to develop a new area in the provincial capital recently, which requires a large investment. Therefore, the company does not have spare money to replace it with a better car. However, a car is just a means of transportation. Having one is enough to make the company look good, and the rest are fine as long as they can be driven."
"The most important thing is future development. As a person, one should have foresight."
At this point, Qin Zheng glanced at the rearview mirror.
Meeting the astonished look in Grandma Mu's eyes, he gave a faint smile, a hint of disdain in his expression: "You agree, don't you, old lady?"
Grandma Mu was speechless with astonishment.
Who is this young man saying lacks foresight?
Mu Jingsheng, standing to the side, quickly chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, doing business requires a long-term vision. What does a car, a means of transportation, represent? As long as the company grows and expands, what kind of car won't you be able to afford in the future? Otherwise, just hoarding a nice car without anything else is useless, isn't it?"
Qin Zheng nodded. "Dad is right."
Seeing that her son was also speaking up for Qin Zheng, Old Mrs. Mu gritted her teeth and after a long while, she finally managed to let out a mocking sneer, muttering, "Your company is quite kind-hearted, actually letting you drive your car out. You must have begged quite a few people, right?"
"It's alright. I co-own the company with someone, so I'll just let them know."
"..."
Grandma Mu then seriously looked Qin Zheng up and down. Did this man own a company?
