In the early stages, the story leans towards the heartwarming grandparent-grandchild bond between the female lead and her grandmother, embodying a very cozy, "group-pet" family style. After...
next day
The Jiang family's house was deserted early in the morning. The only people sitting at the dining table eating breakfast were Rong Qing, who was not affected at all, and Jiang Ziyu, who was in a low mood.
Rong Qing was used to his sunny, cheerful appearance and couldn't stand seeing him look depressed. She pointed at the soup dumplings:
"Why, can't even delicious food make you happy? Aunt Liu went above and beyond today, and the soup dumplings were juicy and delicious. I won't hold back. Besides, why are you so stubborn? You're past the point where you needed Mom and Dad's company. Grow up. Mom has already wasted twenty years. Shouldn't she be thankful that she can live for herself for the rest of her life?"
Or perhaps you and your father share a common sensibility as men, and you're sighing with him, "Ah, we've finally broken through the moral and human boundaries and found perfect love?"
Jiang Ziyu really wanted to say what the hell is love, where is there so much love, even movies don’t dare to praise the “so-called” love like this.
Because of Rong Qing's words, the bad emotions lingering around Jiang Ziyu also dissipated. Yes, he and his father really did not have a deep father-son relationship; besides, he had done such inhuman things, and as a son, he was ashamed to be associated with him. From now on, the word "father" will surely become one of the words he finds difficult to say.
He picked up a soup dumpling and took a gulp, squinting his eyes in enjoyment. As expected, delicious food can heal everything. He swallowed it and sighed:
"Yeah, I didn't expect Mom to be so frank, resolute and calm. It gave me a new understanding of her. I admire her so much. It's great to have such a mother. As for Dad, let's not talk about him."
Aunt Liu suddenly walked in with a bad look on her face. She glanced at Rong Qing, then set her eyes on Jiang Ziyu, and didn't open her mouth for a long time.
Rong Qing: "What's wrong, Aunt Liu? What's so difficult for you to talk about?"
Aunt Liu closed her eyes, and finally spoke:
"The security guard just came to tell us that a woman named Cao Juan and a young girl are clamoring to come in. If we don't let them in, they're going to cause a scene. If we allow them to do this, it will reflect badly on our Jiang family."
Jiang Ziyu was stunned for a moment. The name was so unfamiliar and he didn't seem to know it.
Rong Qing continued to enjoy the food without taking it seriously, and said calmly, "Bring it to the living room. Aunt Liu, you and Sister Wang, keep an eye on it, to prevent anyone from doing something dirty and causing our Jiang family to lose something that will be difficult to recover."
This is definitely not aimless. This is what they did in their previous life. They were pure two-faced people. They behaved like a dodder in front of Jiang's father, delicate and pitiful, and they created the image of an orphan and a widow very successfully.
While they were getting lots of benefits, they constantly stimulated Jiang's father's guilt, which shouldn't have existed at all. He spoiled them wholeheartedly, and their lives were much more comfortable than Jiang's mother's.
They clearly wanted to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, yet in front of Jiang's father, they implicitly complained about their hardships, how they were framed and bullied, how going out for fun was interpreted as motivation to find a job, how they hadn't worked a single day, how they lied openly, and how their jobs were taken away by people with connections...
There are too many to count. These were all learned by Rong Qing in his first life from the conversation between Chu Ling'er and Jiang Yan'er.
To sum up, Jiang's father lived in the lies woven by Cao Juan and her daughter with false tenderness. Nine out of ten things he knew about them actually never happened. They were all based on their mouths. The problem is that Jiang's father actually believed them all.
That's why, in their first life, when things got out of hand, the mother and daughter started using Jiang's mother as a scapegoat. Jiang's mother had been educated well, and even when she was furious, she never did anything to lose face. She always fought back directly. As a result, the mother and daughter would always think that Jiang's mother couldn't tolerate them. When Jiang's mother came to her house, she hired some thugs...
Anyone with a bit of common sense who knows Jiang's mother a little bit will know why she would do such shameful and stupid things that would lower her own reputation.
Hey, Jiang's father believed it, and in the end, the situation got out of control. They got divorced, and their respective careers suffered a heavy blow. Because of the huge emotional fluctuations and lack of good rest, Jiang's mother almost had a medical accident during the operation and was suspended for investigation.
Compared to Jiang's mother, Rong Qing hates Jiang's father more.
Just because Jiang's mother didn't cause any substantial harm to her, she was already busy taking care of herself, so how could she really take care of her daughter-in-law who was actually not very content? She kept clamoring for the Jiang family to find a way to transfer Jiang Zimo back. She didn't want to live as a widow. In fact, if he came back, she would still be a widow in her first life.
Thinking about it now, I was really overly persistent and naive in my first life.
The delicious breakfast on the table was eaten up by two people who were immersed in their own thoughts. They put down their chopsticks and smiled at each other with satisfaction. She called out to Jiang Ziyu who was about to leave to continue his work:
"As the only legitimate owner of the Jiang family currently at home, shouldn't you be welcoming the 'guests'? Shouldn't you demonstrate your 'friendly hospitality'?"
Jiang Ziyu waved his hands quickly:
"No, no, I don't want it. I'm worried about throwing up the breakfast I just ate. Sister-in-law, you're the best. You're the real owner. At this moment, I'm just a passerby. Let's go, let's go make money so I can give you more dividends."
Looking at his fleeing figure, Rong Qing sighed, "Alas, I really have a life of hard work. Why, why do I have to deal with such disgusting things?"
Rong Qing decided to wait and see for now, and wait for Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang, and Mother Jiang to finish handling the household registration transfer, divorce, newspaper announcement, and checking the income at Jiang's father's workplace before coming back to deal with this loving mother and daughter.
