Chapter 44 Including Me

Zhao Jiajia was frightened by Ling Yue's cold eyes, and she took back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Ling Yue is not familiar with Mr. He, and few people would believe her if she told them.

Everyone in the company calls him "Mr. He", but Ling Yue starts calling him "Brother He Chi".

Zhao Jiajia didn’t know what happened between Ling Yue and He Chi, but seeing Ling Yue’s look, she didn’t dare to ask any more.

I could only smile and say, "Then let's find another place."

As soon as Zhao Jiajia found a seat and sat down, she received a message from Zhao Hong: [Jiajia, is there any way to contact that little bitch Jiang Yining? She has blocked all your father's contact information.]

Mom: [She promised to give us the house, but now there's no follow-up. Your dad is getting really mad at home.]

After reading the message, Zhao Jiajia cursed, "Jiang Yining will die if he doesn't do something, right? Damn it."

Ling Yue, who was sitting opposite her, paused and looked up at Zhao Jiajia.

Zhao Jiajia said indignantly, "I told you before, my stepfather's daughter is so cold and heartless that she actually wants to drive her biological father out."

"As soon as I got married, I had the real estate agent bring people to look at the house. They wanted to kick my family out. I was speechless."

This is indeed quite excessive, but I don’t know the full story so I won’t comment on it.

Ling Yue was too lazy to ask about other people's family affairs, so as not to get herself involved in these right and wrongs.

Zhao Jiajia couldn't help getting angry when she talked about Jiang Yining. She even complained to Ling Yue, "Really, you don't know her. She looks gentle and kind, and she's a teacher, but she's so unscrupulous when it comes to doing things."

"After my mom married my dad, she not only helped run the business, but also got up early and went to bed late every day and took care of the household chores."

Zhao Jiajia snorted coldly, "Jiang Yining is so good. Not only is she ungrateful, she also said outside that my mother bullied her. She used to be a good person, and outsiders believed her. Now it's all my and my mother's fault."

At the end, Zhao Jiajia remembered what her mother said.

Jiang Yining is a bad person just like her short-lived mother.

Jiang Yining, who was having lunch, suddenly sneezed twice in succession.

Fan Peihua handed her a tissue and asked with concern, "Is your cold still not healed?"

Jiang Yining took the tissue and shook his head, "I'm fine."

She hasn't contacted them these two days, just leaving them hanging. Maybe someone can't wait any longer.

Zhang Qiao said at noon that she would skip work and come over, but Jiang Yining waited until it was almost time for dinner but she still didn't show up.

When Fan Peihua went out, he happened to meet Zhang Qiao coming over.

She hurried down the stairs. Zhang Qiao asked, "Mom, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Fan Peihua said, "I'll go hand in my shift."

Jiang Yining saw Zhang Qiao and teased, "Did you come here by smell?"

"I'd like to leave sooner rather than later." Zhang Qiao sighed, "When can I quit?"

"Don't want to buy a big house?"

"I won't buy it. I'm quite comfortable living in my shabby little house." Zhang Qiao sat down and picked up a piece of braised pork ribs with chopsticks. "My mother's cooking is delicious."

Zhang Qiao thought of something funny, "You don't know how tough my mom is in front of my grandma now. She confronts my grandma directly when she's being sarcastic and doesn't tolerate her at all."

"She used to give my dad some face, but now her income is higher than my dad's, and she doesn't even want to give him that little bit of face anymore."

Jiang Yining knew that Zhang Qiao's parents were actually quite loving, especially when Zhang Qiao's grandmother was away from her home, the family of three lived in harmony.

But whenever Aunt Fan and the old lady get along, they will definitely quarrel. Uncle Zhang always maintains the attitude of "keeping things peaceful".

But this "peaceful settlement" always makes Aunt Fan feel wronged, because the reason is that the old lady is old and the younger generation should give in to her a little.

Uncle Zhang does not favor boys over girls and is quite nice to Aunt Fan. He feels sorry for her contribution to the family, but he handles the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law very poorly.

He Chi built a wine cabinet at home, which contains his collection of red wine.

Zhang Qiao and Aunt Fan both liked to drink red wine. Jiang Yining casually took out a bottle from the wine cabinet. She didn't know much about red wine, so she asked Zhang Qiao, "Is this bottle okay?"

After Zhang Qiao saw the red wine in Jiang Yining's hand, she didn't know what to say for a moment. She opened her mouth and hesitated before saying, "Ningning, how about we drink juice?"

"What's wrong? Is this wine bad?"

Zhang Qiao said, "The wine is top-notch. Why don't you ask He Chi first?"

Jiang Yining took a photo and sent it to He Chi, then asked, "Can I open this bottle of red wine? I want to open it for them."

He Chi had just come out of the company and was about to go to Old Mrs. He's place. After he fastened his seat belt, he saw the message from Jiang Yining.

He replied: [Of course, you are the mistress of the house, and you are in charge of everything in the house.]

He Chi put down his phone, but only for a second before he picked it up again and added: [Including me.]

Seeing her shy look, Zhang Qiao stood up, glanced at her, and said in a changing tone, "Including me~"

"Oh, I thought He Chi was a rough and straight guy, but I didn't expect him to be quite capable, wow."

Jiang Yining almost blushed at what she said, and she put her phone away without showing it to Zhang Qiao.

He Chi waited in the car for a few minutes, but there was no reply from Jiang Yining.

He Chi almost doubted his life.

Does Jiang Yining not like him talking like this?

Another minute passed before Jiang Yining replied to his message.

It's an emoticon pack that shows someone nodding and saying "Hmm~".

He Chi suddenly grinned. When he thought of Jiang Yining making this little expression, he thought his wife was quite cute.

He replied: [I just got off work and was going to my grandma’s house.]

Jiang Yining quickly replied: [We are ready to eat, please drive slowly and be careful.]

He Chi: [Okay, you guys eat first.]

After Jiang Yining finished replying, Zhang Qiao asked, "Are you sure you want to open this bottle?"

"The average price of Leroy Musigny is 300,000. The bottle you picked up might cost 600,000 or 700,000."

Jiang Yining: “…”

She finally understood why Zhang Qiao had that expression.

Jiang Yining went to the wine cabinet again and saw several bottles of the same red wine. She looked for the bottle opener and said, "There's more in the wine cabinet. He Chi said it's ready to drink. Let's drink it."

To be honest, Zhang Qiao couldn't even imagine what a bottle of red wine that cost six or seven hundred thousand yuan would taste like.

Jiang Yining brought over three high-heeled glasses and a decanter, they poured the wine, and Fan Peihua also came back.

Zhang Qiao handed her one of the cups and said, "Mom, try it."

Fan Peihua took a sip and said, "This wine is really good. Ningning, where did you buy it? I want to buy a bottle too."

Zhang Qiao smiled and said, "Just buy one bottle. If you like drinking, drink more tonight."

She savored it carefully and said with emotion, "The taste of money."

When Jiang Yining lived in Zhang Qiao's house, she would occasionally have a drink with her, but she had a poor alcohol tolerance and she was still taking medicine, so she didn't drink. She poured herself a glass of juice squeezed by Aunt Fan.

Fan Peihua went home after dinner.

Jiang Yining and Zhang Qiao sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Across the river was Lincheng's CBD. The night was dark, but the lights over there were bright, describing the prosperity of Lincheng.

Since there was no one else here, Zhang Qiao didn't ask politely, "Do you and He Chi sleep in separate rooms?"

Jiang Yining hummed, "Give each other some time to adapt, but we slept together last night."
