Chapter 156 Three Ex-wives

Recently, Lin Yi-an and Zhou Ming-shi have been staying at Tan Qing-wen's place.

Since the couple learned that Tan Qingwen was not taking good care of her health, they have been staying with her for half a month every month. Her grandparents have her father to accompany them, and although her mother has a boyfriend, she basically doesn't listen to Gu Boyuan, so the couple tries to spend as much time with her as possible.

Zhou Mingshi has been very busy these past few months, even working overtime on weekends.

Lin Yi'an's workload has decreased, so she's not very busy.

On Friday, she first went to the Lin family to visit her parents, and on Saturday she went back to her mother-in-law's place to visit her.

With his daughter-in-law at home and his son not, Tan Qingwen was worried that his daughter-in-law would be bored, so he took her out shopping.

Lin Yi'an linked arms with her mother-in-law, and the two walked into the mall and strolled around casually.

Walking into a men's clothing store, Tan Qingwen pulled his daughter-in-law inside.

Lin Yi'an glanced at it casually and then looked away.

Tan Qingwen picked up a light pink shirt and asked Lin Yi'an, "How's this shirt?"

"..." Lin Yi'an asked hesitantly, "Who was Mom chosen for?"

Tan Qingwen said with great interest: "Of course it's for Ming Shi."

Lin Yi paused for a moment, then said, "He probably doesn't like this color."

It wasn't that she should; she was quite certain that Zhou Mingshi didn't like this color. Most of his shirts were white or black, and none of his clothes, let alone light pink, were even slightly bright.

Tan Qingwen looked at her with a smile: "Just say you bought it for him."

Lin Yi'an: "......"

Tan Qingwen said meaningfully, "If you say you bought it, he will definitely wear it. He always wears drab clothes and doesn't have any youthful vigor. It's good to change his appearance once in a while. He can wear it to work but not to rest."

Lin Yi'an laughed. No wonder Zhou Mingshi always had a hard time saying anything about his mother buying him clothes, and he resolutely refused to let his mother buy him clothes.

However, she didn't stop her. It was rare for her mother-in-law to be in such a good mood. It was just a piece of clothing. But whether Zhou Mingshi would believe that she bought it was uncertain.

Tan Qingwen: "This one is not bad either..."

She picked out several items, but still wasn't satisfied. Given her son's temper, she had no choice but to give up.

When it came time to pay, Lin Yi'an took out her card and gave Tan Qingwen a reproachful look: "You're out shopping with Mom, and you're expected to pay?"

Lin Yi'an smiled and didn't insist.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left the men's clothing store and continued browsing. After a while, Tan Qingwen saw a women's clothing store and said, "This brand of clothes suits your temperament. Let's go in and take a look."

Tan Qingwen glanced at them briefly and said, "Prepare more clothes for summer."

She looked around, pointed to the clothes rack, and said to the sales clerk, "This one, this one, this one..."

After giving Lin Yi'an's code number, he said, "No need to try it, just wrap it up."

After saying that, he looked at Lin Yi'an and said, "Buy it and wear it if you like."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a familiar voice was heard: "An'an! Aunt Tan!"

The two looked over and saw Yan Shuyan with her son and an elegant lady in her fifties beside her. Lin Yi'an smiled and said, "Sister-in-law."

Zhou Songran saw Lin Yi'an running over: "Second Aunt."

Lin Yi'an patted his head: "Ranran has grown taller again."

Tan Qingwen looked at the woman and smiled, "Sister Zheng, it's been a long time!"

Zheng Wenqiong walked over with a smile: "Ming Shi's mother, it's been a long time!"

Tan Qingwen turned his head and introduced to Lin Yi'an: "This is Aunt Zheng, your eldest brother's mother."

"This is my daughter-in-law, Lin Yi'an."

Lin Yi'an glanced at her and said, "Hello, Aunt Zheng!"

She had never met her older brother's mother before. She had a round face, a gentle and elegant demeanor, a kind smile, and looked very approachable.

Zheng Wenqiong looked at Lin Yi'an with a smile: "This child is really handsome."

Tan Qingwen said with a smile, "Not only is he handsome, but he also has a good personality. He's much more considerate than Ming Shi. Ming Shi would never go shopping with me."

Hearing this, Zheng Wenqiong knew how much she liked this daughter-in-law, and praised her a couple more times, making Tan Qingwen beam with joy.

Since we'd run into each other, we decided to go shopping together.

Tan Qingwen is keen on buying clothes and jewelry for her son and daughter-in-law. Of course, since they met, she also bought some gifts for Yan Shuyan and Zhou Songran.

Zheng Wenqiong was also good at handling things. Everyone else had bought gifts for her daughter-in-law and grandson, so she also gave Lin Yi'an a piece of jewelry.

When Zheng Wenqiong and Zhou Kanghui divorced, the Zhou family gave her a lot of compensation. She was not as capable as Tan Qingwen and did not have her background. She used the compensation to buy shops and houses. As the house prices rose, her assets also increased.

Later, he opened a pastry shop. Although it was a small business, the pastry shop was very popular with customers, and he opened several more branches. He didn't have much money, but he still had assets worth several hundred million.

At noon, Tan Qingwen hosted a lunch at a five-star hotel next to the shopping mall.

Unexpectedly, when I came out of the restaurant, I ran into Sun Yurong, who was out restocking her food.

As Zhou Kanghui's former third wife, Sun Yurong naturally knew Zheng Wenqiong.

Can these two women really sit down and eat together? Can they even stomach it?

Zheng Wenqiong, of course, recognized Sun Yurong. She greeted her with a smile, "Mingyuan's mother, are you shopping too?"

Sun Yurong found her gaze rather strange. This woman was really something, smiling at everyone she saw. What was so funny about her ex-wives? Was she laughing at how they all ended up being divorced?

She said, "I'm buying some clothes for my granddaughter."

Zheng Wenqiong smiled gently: "Yes, we're grandmothers now."

Sun Yurong looked her over and saw that she hadn't changed much over the years, and still had a gentle smile on her face. She thought to herself, "No wonder she was the first one."

Zheng Wenqiong's family background isn't much better than hers, but when she divorced, the Zhou family gave her a large sum of money as compensation, and now she has her own career. Even if she's not as good as Tan Qingwen, she's still better than her.

Why are other people laughing? They have money and careers, their children aren't particularly talented, but they have no worries about food and drink. Why aren't they laughing? She's the only one who's had the worst life.

Thinking of this, she felt terrible and didn't want to see them laughing, so she made up an excuse and left.

Zheng Wenqiong watched her retreating figure with a smile on her face: "After all these years, Mingyuan's mother is still so awkward."

Tan Qingwen never took her seriously and didn't bother to talk to her.

After a tiring morning of shopping, everyone went home after lunch.

As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived home, they both sank into the sofa and didn't want to move.

After sitting for a while, Lin Yi'an went to the restroom. Tan Qingwen remained seated. A few seconds later, Lin Yi'an's phone rang on the coffee table.

Tan Qingwen glanced at his phone and called out, "An'an, it's Mingshi on the phone."

Lin Yi'an: "Mom, can you answer this? I'm taking off my makeup."

As soon as Tan Qingwen answered the phone, his son's cloying voice came through: "Wife, what are you busy with?"

"..." Tan Qingwen remained very calm: "I am your mother, An'an is taking off her makeup."

The phone went silent for a moment, then Zhou Mingshi's normal voice came through: "Mom, I'm busy right now, I'll call back later."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone call ended.

Hearing the dial tone on his phone, Tan Qingwen was both amused and exasperated, and scolded, "This child."

She had no idea that her son had this side to him.
