Chapter 154 She Never Thought of Having a Child

Not long after Jiang and Xie finished their meal, Uncle Chang told them that Madam Lin wanted to see them.

On the way back to the villa, Jiang Yunyao asked Xie Yixing and Uncle Chang, "Who is this Mrs. Lin?"

Xie Yixing rarely attends banquets and doesn't know much about the wealthy circle. He only knows the backgrounds of those who are close to him.

"Lin? I don't remember!"

Uncle Chang smiled and said, "She is Chief Lin's wife. She is about the same age as you, but our two families don't often interact, so you don't know her, young master."

Jiang Yunyao seemed to be lost in thought.

His surname is Lin, and he is a high-ranking official, so he is most likely related to that old lady Lin!

In the villa.

At Shi Wanrou's enthusiastic recommendation, Meng Yiran tasted the green tea grown by Xie's company.

However, her eyes were always glancing towards the door, and she was absent-minded and didn't taste anything at all.

Shi Wanrou saw that she had other intentions, and the smile in her eyes gradually faded, but she still maintained an understanding expression.

"Don't worry, Madam Lin. The two children are playing in the garden and will be here soon."

Meng Yiran realized that she had lost her composure and smiled apologetically.

She picked up the teacup, took another sip, and took the initiative to talk, "This tea smells light, but tastes very sweet."

"If Madam Lin likes it, I'll have someone bring some back for you so that Madam Lin and Chief Lin can try it too."

As she spoke, Shi Wanrou called the maid and told her to pack the tea.

When Meng Yiran thought about the purpose of her visit and looked at Shi Wanrou's polite attitude, she felt a little guilty, but she hesitated for two seconds and still spoke.

"Speaking of which, the Lin family has few children, and their home is usually very quiet. It's better for you to be so lucky and have three children around you."

Shi Wanrou said with a smile, "Mrs. Lin, you're joking. The children are usually busy with work and school, and I rarely see them."

The words Meng Yiran was about to say got stuck in her throat and she was speechless for a moment.

The arrival of Jiang and Xie broke the situation that was about to freeze.

When Meng Yiran saw the two of them, she immediately stood up, looking a little excited.

"This is A Yao... and Xiao Yi, right? I often hear our old lady mention you!"

Shi Wanrou stood up and introduced herself to them.

"This is Commander Lin's wife, and the daughter-in-law of the old lady you helped. You should call her 'Aunt Meng'."

Since the two parties were not familiar with each other, Jiang and Xie just called people and did not say any extra words.

Meng Yiran is actually a simple and cheerful person, but she thinks that the purpose of this trip is too strong, so she speaks a little unnaturally.

Just seeing Jiang Yunyao, especially those familiar eyes and eyebrows, she was dazed for a moment and relaxed a lot.

"Ayao is pretty, Xiaoyi is handsome, the two children look very compatible!"

Shi Wanrou asked everyone to sit down, and then she in turn praised each other's children.

"Zhiqing is old enough to start a family and build a career. I think Zhiqing is so handsome, he will definitely have no trouble finding a partner!"

Speaking of this, Meng Yiran was really worried, "He only cares about work and doesn't consider marriage at all."

Shi Wanrou comforted her, "Zhiqing's job is special. He might be so busy that he can't even take care of himself. I understand that."

Meng Yiran sighed, swept away her sorrow, and returned to the main topic, "Ayao and Xiaoyi, if you are free, you can go to the Lin family to play. Our old lady misses you very much!"

As she spoke, her eyes were looking at Jiang Yunyao.

Jiang Yunyao couldn't figure out her intention.

Was she here for Wanwan, or for...

Because Meng Yiran's identity was not simple and she was an elder, Jiang Yunyao did not agree immediately, but looked at Ms. Shi.

Shi Wanrou had watched the live variety show and knew that her daughter-in-law had similar features to Old Lady Lin. Now, seeing Meng Yiran repeatedly inviting Xiaoyao to the Lin family, her inner alarm bells went off.

Xiaoyao is the biological daughter of the couple. The Lin family has no relationship with Xiaoyao but they are so warm to her. It is obvious that something is fishy!

Shi Wanrou declined on their behalf, her tone gentle but firm, "Both children are sentimental. They're just busy with work, so they'll naturally visit you when they have time!"

Meng Yiran felt her subtle hostility and was unable to argue. She said a few polite words and finally returned empty-handed.

After everyone left, Jiang Yunyao asked, "Mom, Mrs. Lin came here just to invite us to the Lin family?"

Shi Wanrou took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and said uncertainly, "It should be."

Xie Yixing was confused. "Why did she invite us? We don't have much contact with the Lin family!"

Even if they had helped Old Lady Lin, it was only that one time.

They had also agreed to visit Old Mrs. Lin on the seventh day, so why was she so impatient to come to them?

Shi Wanrou said simply and bluntly, "Since she didn't say it clearly, then you should just pretend you don't know!"

Jiang and Xie thought it made sense and put the matter behind them.

After seeing that they had finished talking, the production crew quickly turned on the microphone again, set up the camera, and began to announce the tasks.

"Task 17: Please engage in daily social activities."

When it comes to "socializing", Jiang Yunyao and the others may not be able to think of what to do at the moment, but when it comes to "daily socializing", they know what the program crew wants to film.

Shi Wanrou contacted a lady who usually went out to play, and took Jiang Xie and the others to a chess and card room outside and asked for a private room.

The lady who was invited was surnamed Xu and her husband was surnamed Zhou. Their Zhou family mainly made furniture. They were not a wealthy family, but they had cooperated with the Xie family.

Mrs. Zhou has short hair, speaks and acts in a trendy way, and can get along well with young people.

After Shi Wanrou introduced them to each other, she looked at the chess and card room logo on the wall and said casually, "This place should be turned into an advertisement for rent."

Mrs. Zhou caught her eye and reacted quickly. She immediately took out her cell phone and contacted Mr. Zhou.

Five minutes later, the program crew added the Zhou Family Furniture logo.

[Oh my god! No wonder he can even speak in front of Xie Ma! This reaction speed is unmatched by ordinary people!]

[This is hilarious! If I were there, I would just say, "Madam, you are so wise!"]

[Hahahaha, if the chess room owner knew he had lost an opportunity to be exposed, he would probably cry in the toilet!]

The production team is too much! They would rather blur the video than replace it with their logo before the money arrives!

[Program crew: What do you know?! Our principle is, no publicity without payment!]

What amazes me even more is that Xiao Xie's mother is truly worthy of being the wife of the head of the Xie family! She's incredibly sensitive to business matters!

The two generations played mahjong together. Mrs. Zhou was afraid that the topic would be too dry, so she talked about some more popular social hot topics.

"That mother-in-law threw away her newborn granddaughter in order to have a grandson, and even forced her daughter-in-law to have another one."

"If this kind of person can get what he wants, then God is really blind! When my son gets married in the future, I don't want to have any grandchildren!"

After listening to Mrs. Zhou's "mother-in-law speech", Jiang Yunyao glanced at Ms. Shi who had not spoken yet, and felt very uncomfortable.

She was in the prime of her youth and her career was booming, but she had never thought about having children!

Xie Yixing felt that the child born by Jiang Yunyao would definitely be smart and good-looking!

Just as he was thinking this, he turned his head to look at Jiang Yunyao, and was stunned the next moment.

He keenly noticed from her expression that she didn't seem to want to have a baby, at least not at the moment!

Xie Yixing suddenly thought of a sentence: Giving birth to a child is like going through the gates of hell for a woman.

He shuddered, immediately dismissed all thoughts from his mind, and announced loudly, "We don't have children!"
