Chapter 98 Why are you running away when you are knocking on the door in the middle of the night?

"You're back." Su Xueqing was surprised. She was just wondering who rushed over.

"Yes, I'm back, I'm back!" Ning Jiaxuan said, "Is there anything delicious at home? I'm hungry."

"You haven't eaten yet?" Su Xueqing was surprised. "That's right, it's time for dinner. Come on, come on, go in first and eat first, eat first."

"You don't know how bad the food abroad is. I eat hamburgers and other things every day, and I don't even want vegetable salads. I really don't like eating those." Ning Jiaxuan said, "It doesn't taste good at all."

"Didn't you ask the servant to do it?" Su Xueqing asked.

"Will someone with good cooking skills come to work as my servant?" Ning Jiaxuan asked, "Even if I spend a lot of money, I may not be able to find a chef that suits my taste. I've tried several times, but I just gave up. I don't like the taste."

Ning Jiaxuan still likes the food in China. It is only when she goes abroad that she realizes how delicious the food in China is. Ning Jiaxuan really doesn't want to eat foreign food at all. She wants to eat domestic food.

"Come back to eat." Su Xueqing said, "Do your parents know you're back?"

"Well, they know. I told them when I would be back." Ning Jiaxuan said, "They were worried that something might happen to me, and I didn't want them to worry. I told them that I would come to your place to eat first, and asked the driver to take the food back."

"That's fine." Su Xueqing took Ning Jiaxuan into the living room.

"Mom, mom." As soon as Xiao Wenjun saw her mother, she staggered towards Su Xueqing.

"Oh, little Wenjun has grown so big." Ning Jiaxuan walked over and wanted to hug little Wenjun.

"Wow, Mom, help, help." Xiao Wenjun didn't know Ning Jiaxuan and shouted quickly.

"Don't yell for help, mom. If you yell for help, others will only think you are my daughter." Ning Jiaxuan said, "You should say I am not your mother, and then yell for help, do you understand?"

Ning Jiaxuan did not continue to hold Xiao Wenjun, Xiao Wenjun would struggle. But Xiao Wenjun's strength was not enough for Ning Jiaxuan, and Ning Jiaxuan was very hungry, so she did not hold Xiao Wenjun for the time being.

"Mom, mom." Xiao Wenjun reached out to Su Xueqing.

"She is your aunt." Su Xueqing wiped the tears from Xiao Wenjun's eyes with a handkerchief. The child knew not to be hugged by strangers. "She is your aunt who went to a very far place and gave you gifts."

"Aunt?" Xiao Wenjun tilted her head.

"Yes, it's your aunt." Su Xueqing nodded, "Let's go, wash our hands, and go eat."

Ning Jiaxuan had washed her hands and sat at the table. When Xiao Wenjun finished washing her hands, Ning Yanjing had just returned. As soon as Ning Yanjing returned, he saw Ning Jiaxuan sitting at the table, eating heartily, like someone who had not eaten for a long time.

"Jiaxuan?" Ning Yanjing was surprised. He heard from his parents that Ning Jiaxuan was coming back, but he didn't expect Ning Jiaxuan to come to his house.

"Eat." Ning Jiaxuan spoke a little unclearly, with a lot of food stuffed in her mouth.

"Eat slowly." Ning Yanjing said.

"Dad." Xiao Wenjun came.

Ning Yanjing carried Xiao Wenjun to a special chair so that she could sit and eat. Xiao Wenjun now eats with a spoon. If the spoon is not easy to scoop, she knows to grab it with her hands, and eats rice all over her face.

Su Xueqing did not feed Xiao Wenjun all the time, and Ning Yanjing did not feed her either. Instead, they let Xiao Wenjun eat by herself.

"Xue Qing, when Yuhao first came to Nancheng, he was older than Xiao Wenjun, and you still fed him. Now that he is your own daughter, you don't feed her?" Ning Jiaxuan ate the food in her mouth.

"As the child grows up, he has to learn to eat by himself. It's okay to feed him once or twice, but not every day." Su Xueqing explained, "Yuhao, that's because his elder brother and sister-in-law are teaching him, and I don't have to worry about him. I feed him a few times, and it won't affect Yuhao's independence."

"Brother." When Xiao Wenjun heard Su Xueqing talking about Yu Hao, she knew that was her brother.

"Yes, it's my brother." Su Xueqing said, "Eat quickly and eat your fill."

"Brother, grow taller." Xiao Wenjun said.

"Yes, your brother wants to grow taller, and you have to grow taller too." Su Xueqing said, "I'll take you to play with your brother some other day."

Ning Yuhao often said that he could only come over one day on the weekend, and asked his pretty aunt to bring his sister over to play, so that he could play with his sister more.

"Play with brother." Xiao Wenjun nodded.

Xiao Wenjun turned her head and saw Ning Jiaxuan eating very fast. She ate a lot of food in one go. Xiao Wenjun bit the spoon and thought, "Aunt, eat some vegetables, eat some vegetables."

“…” Su Xueqing looked at Xiao Wenjun.

"Auntie, eat some meat." Xiao Wenjun immediately changed her tone, "Eat some meat, baby, eat less, or you won't grow taller."

Su Xueqing was amused by her daughter's words. Why did her daughter add another sentence at the end?

"Are you worried that Auntie will eat all the meat and you will have nothing to eat?" Ning Jiaxuan joked, "Then I will have to eat it all, until my belly is full."

"Auntie...Auntie, is your stomach growling?" Xiao Wenjun muttered, "You've eaten so much."

"Your aunt was just joking with you. She didn't eat all the meat." Su Xueqing said, "Hurry up and eat it. There's no more. If you cook it again, there will be more to eat."

"Eat. Just watch your aunt eat, and she will eat it all up." Ning Jiaxuan deliberately said this to Xiao Wenjun.

Ning Yuhao likes the food here very much, but he doesn't eat as fast as Ning Jiaxuan. Ning Yuhao eats slowly. Sister Ning has taught Ning Yuhao that whether at home or at a relative's house, he should not eat too fast, and should not eat like a starving ghost. He should eat well.

Xiao Wenjun looked down at her bowl, then turned to look at her father, "Dad, meat."

Xiao Wenjun asked her father to give her more meat. Ning Yanjing immediately understood what his daughter meant and he gave her more meat.

"Steamed egg with minced meat." Su Xueqing crushed the egg yolk, broke the egg white into small pieces, soaked the egg yolk in the minced meat soup, and gave it to Xiao Wenjun. Xiao Wenjun liked to eat this kind of steamed egg with minced meat, and didn't like to eat the whole egg yolk.

"Auntie, do you want to eat?" Xiao Wenjun asked.

"Your aunt has food, you eat yours." Su Xueqing said. At this time, her daughter knew to ask her aunt if there was anything to eat.

Xiao Wenjun originally wanted to hold the edge of the bowl, but when she heard her mother say that her aunt had something to eat, she stopped holding the bowl tightly.

After dinner, Ning Jiaxuan stayed here for a while. She brought a gift to Xiao Wenjun, which was a doll she bought abroad. Ning Jiaxuan thought that mothers like dolls, and daughters probably like dolls too.

Xiao Wenjun really likes dolls. When Ning Jiaxuan took out the doll, Xiao Wenjun said, "It's ugly."

“It’s ugly, but also cute. It’s ugly, cute, ugly and cute.” Su Xueqing said.

"She also knows about Ugly." Ning Jiaxuan looked at Xiao Wenjun.

"I know." Su Xueqing said, "When we were at work, mom came to see her, and she knew to ask mom to buy her some food. Her belly was so full from eating so much, and she rubbed it and said it was growling."

"this……"

"The child looks like his aunt, your brother said." Su Xueqing said.

Ning Jiaxuan then looked at Ning Yanjing and said, "Brother, have you often criticized me during the days I'm not here?"

"Why are you being criticized?" Ning Yanjing asked, "You were very picky about food when you were a kid. Isn't Wenjun just like you?"

Ning Jiaxuan rolled her eyes. Xueqing was also picky about food, but Ning Jiaxuan didn't say it out loud. Ning Jiaxuan knew that her brother must be on the side of his beloved wife, not on her side.

"Mom and Dad miss you." Ning Yanjing said.

"Okay, I'll go back now." Ning Jiaxuan said. The main reason was that she was eating at Su Xueqing's place, so she didn't have to worry too much about her image. Father Ning and Big Brother Ning were at home, so Ning Jiaxuan was embarrassed to wolf down her food in front of them. She was a little afraid of Ning Yanjing, but not too much. Father Ning and Big Brother Ning were different. They were relatively serious, so Ning Jiaxuan was more afraid of them.

"Go slowly on the road." Su Xueqing said, "Come and play when you have time."

"Of course you have to come." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I still have a lot to say to you."

Ning Jiaxuan had been abroad for almost two years, and she had little contact with Su Xueqing. She had met some people abroad, but it was not easy to talk about what she had. Ning Jiaxuan still liked to chat with Su Xueqing. She had just come back, so Su Xueqing didn't tell her anything else, and Ning Jiaxuan thought that she must ask more questions when she came over another day.

The heart of gossip is burning!

It cannot be said that Ning Jiaxuan's life abroad was very difficult. She had money and lived a relatively comfortable life. However, Ning Jiaxuan was not very accustomed to the customs and practices of foreign countries, and she felt comfortable only after returning to China.

At the Ning family, when Ning's mother saw Ning Jiaxuan coming back, the smile on her face couldn't stop.

"Mom, I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes first." Ning Jiaxuan said.

"Go, go." Mother Ning patted Ning Jiaxuan's arm gently, "Go."

Ning Jiaxuan took a shower, changed her clothes and went downstairs. She had slept for a while on the plane and was still a little tired. But she hadn't seen her parents for a long time, so she still had to see them.

"Mom, you don't know how hard my life was abroad." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I really don't like foreign food."

"Now that you're back, just tell me what you want to eat." Ning's mother said, "We have a lot of dishes at home tonight."

"I ate at my brother's place." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I saw my little niece. She was so cute. I gave her a doll, but she said it was ugly, but she still held it and played with it. My little niece is very pretty, like Xueqing."

"Girls should be more like your sister-in-law, that's what makes her beautiful." said Ning's mother.

"Xue Qing is not only beautiful, but also smart. She is really very good." Ning Jiaxuan said, "When I was eating just now, my niece was afraid that I would finish my food, so she ate in big mouthfuls. Xue Qing asked her to slow down, and she did so a little slower."

"You're teasing her." Ning's mother said, "Little kid, don't let her choke."

"She didn't choke." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Xueqing crushed the egg yolks of the steamed egg with minced meat and gave it to my niece. I used to think Xueqing was good at taking care of children, and now I see that this is indeed the case."

Some people are born with the ability to do certain things. They don't need too much teaching from others, they can do things well.

Ning Jiaxuan also brought gifts for other family members and did not forget her two little nephews.

The next afternoon, Ning Yuhao stared at Ning Jiaxuan. He was on vacation, and he knew that his aunt often went to his younger aunt's house. Ning Yuhao wondered if he could go with his aunt to play with his sister, and they could go together.

"I've finished my homework." Ning Yuhao said, "Aunt, let's go to my aunt's house."

"Let's go together." Ning Jiaxuan reached out and pinched Ning Yuhao's face. "You are still the same as before, thinking about your beautiful aunt."

"And there is a lovely younger sister." Ning Yuhao reminded his aunt that it was not just his aunt, but also his younger sister.

"Yes, yes, your sister is here." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Where's your brother?"

"Brother needs to study." Ning Yuhao said.

As the eldest son and grandson, Ning Yurong had to shoulder more responsibilities. Even without his parents telling him, Ning Yurong knew that he had to study more. Ning Yurong occasionally went to play with Su Xueqing with Ning Yuhao, but he went there less often.

Fortunately, there is food at home, so there is no need to worry about not having enough food. Ning Jiaxuan and Ning Yuhao can eat directly at Su Xueqing's place.

Ning Yuhao ate more vegetables. He wanted to let his sister know that vegetables were very nutritious, so they ate together.

"Yuhao is still very well behaved in front of you guys." Ning Jiaxuan said, "It feels like many things haven't changed, but some things have changed."

"It's possible that there won't be any changes at all." Su Xueqing said.

After dinner, Ning Yanjing took the two children to play in the yard, while Ning Jiaxuan and Su Xueqing talked together.

"Xu Ruyun gave birth to two children. She gave birth to two children during the two years I was abroad." Ning Jiaxuan heard this from others today. "She doesn't worry about her health at all?"

"The eldest son was taken away by her mother-in-law, so she wanted to have a second son. She was forced to do so." Su Xueqing did not say that Xu Ruyun did anything wrong. Xu Ruyun had her own plans. "I heard that after two or three years, when her body is well, she can have another child. With a mother-in-law like that, it would be good for her to have another son and raise him by her side. Doesn't my mother live next to her mother? Her mother's eyes get red sometimes when she talks about these things."

Yan's mother is not Old Lady Yan. If it was Old Lady Yan who educated the child and Yan's mother did not interfere too much, Xu Ruyun would not have to think so much. However, it was mainly Yan's mother who interfered and Old Lady Yan did not care much, so Xu Ruyun had to make plans early and have children while she was young and healthy. It would be difficult to have children when she was older.

"This is her own choice." Ning Jiaxuan said.

"Yes." Su Xueqing nodded. "If she wants to climb up, she doesn't have so many good choices. Yan Yichen is willing to give her shares in the factory. It's a little different for her, so she wants to hold on to Yan Yichen. If it's someone else, it would be difficult for her to hold on."

That affection could not reach the level of deep love, but it was very different from other women. Xu Ruyun still had some status in Yan Yichen's heart.

"Fortunately, you didn't fall for Yan Yichen." Su Xueqing said, "I heard that before the first child was born, Yan Yichen had already planned to let his mother take care of the child."

"If it were me, I would never let his mother take care of the child." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Those people can't do anything to me, I will just take the child home. But people like Yan Yichen... I really don't like him. Even if we want a business marriage, I will never choose him."

Yan Yichen has been through a lot and is too cold-blooded. His past kindness may become a black history. If Ning Jiaxuan and Yan Yichen were together, the relationship between the Ning and Yan families would be even worse. The two of them are not together, and distance creates beauty. Yan Yichen thinks that the Ning family is very good.

Yan's mother always liked to complain about the Ning family. She did it so many times that Yan Yichen naturally had some thoughts. Yan Yichen and Ning Jiaxuan were together, so there would definitely be some friction between the two of them. Later on, things would become even more difficult to deal with.

Ning Jiaxuan understood this from the beginning. Yan Yichen's attitude towards her was not so good. He was a typical person who wanted the Ning family's help but didn't want to bow his head in front of Ning Jiaxuan. He probably felt that bowing his head to a woman was a very damaging to his self-esteem.

"It's only been two years." Ning Jiaxuan sighed, "Two years."

Ning Jiaxuan sighed over and over again. She really didn't expect that there were still people who were so anxious to get pregnant and have children at this time. But it was also true that Ning Jiaxuan didn't feel that urgent. She didn't need to think so much, but Xu Ruyun had too many things to consider.

"Two years is enough time for a lot of things to happen." Su Xueqing said, "What about you, what are your plans after returning home?"

"I..." Ning Jiaxuan hasn't figured out what to do yet.

Ning Jiaxuan went abroad to study something other than architecture. She felt that she was still a little mediocre after returning from her studies, and she didn't have any special abilities. She felt that she would mislead students if she went to teach at a university, and she didn't like doing miscellaneous things if she went to work in an administrative position.

"Do you have a partner?" Su Xueqing asked.

"Not yet." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I wanted to find a partner abroad, but then I thought better of it."

Ning Jiaxuan didn't think about finding a foreigner as her boyfriend. She looked at her compatriots who went abroad to study. Some of them behaved very strangely, while others were busy studying... Ning Jiaxuan didn't find a partner abroad. Instead of finding a random partner, it's better not to find one.

"If you don't have a partner, I guess there will be a lot of people introducing you to someone," Su Xueqing said.

"Just introduce me. I'm indeed old enough to find a partner." Ning Jiaxuan said, "As for me, it doesn't matter if I don't have a job."

Ning Jiaxuan still likes to play more. She can attend some banquets, eat and drink with some people, and travel around to see those scenic spots. The Ning family prepared a lot of dowry for Ning Jiaxuan, and Ning Jiaxuan can live a worry-free life with those things.

"It's up to you." Su Xueqing said, "I'm still working and I have to work."

There was no way Su Xueqing would give up her job. She felt like she wasn't herself without a job.

"You can do it, you can do it." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I... really don't want to move."

"It's up to you." Su Xueqing said, "You can be more willful."

Ning Jiaxuan has two older brothers, so she doesn't need to do anything else. All she needs to do is stay out of trouble and not have to rely on others to clean up her mess.

"That Yu Li, we used to live in the same dormitory together, Xu Ruyun's sister-in-law, is she still working?" Ning Jiaxuan asked.

"Yes, she is working as a junior high school teacher." Su Xueqing said, "She still has some brains and knows she needs to work."

Yu Li's family background is not good. She comes from a small town. If Yu Li does not work, she will only have a university degree. After a long time, who knows what the Xu family will think. She still needs to have a stable and formal job, so that she does not have to worry too much and has a pension when she is old.

In the yard, Ning Yuhao was picking flowers for Xiao Wenjun, and Xiao Wenjun was also picking flowers for herself.

"Big ones, big ones." Xiao Wenjun reminded Ning Yuhao to pick the big ones, not the small ones.

"Okay, pick the big ones." Ning Yuhao said, "I'll pick the big ones in the middle."

"Brother, be careful." Xiao Wenjun said.

The flowers and plants in the yard are taken care of on a daily basis and are basically safe. It is unlikely that any poisonous creatures will suddenly pop out of them, but there will be some small crickets, frogs and the like.

Ning Yuhao picked two flowers for Xiao Wenjun. Xiao Wenjun grabbed the flowers and was very happy. Xiao Wenjun was still young and her hair was thinner, not very thick. Xiao Wenjun put the flowers on her head, but it was difficult to put them on. She held the flowers again and wanted to give them to her mother.

Xiao Wenjun staggered back to the living room to find her mother.

Ning Yanjing could only follow behind Xiao Wenjun, and Ning Yuhao followed Xiao Wenjun with flowers in his hand.

"Mom, mom, flowers." Xiao Wenjun handed the flowers to Su Xueqing.

"You only know how to give flowers to your mother, but not to your aunt? Your aunt will be sad." Ning Jiaxuan said deliberately. Xiao Wenjun looked down at the flowers in her hand. Her flowers were bigger and more beautiful. She only wanted to give the flowers to her mother.

"Aunt, I have it here." Ning Yuhao could see that Xiao Wenjun was reluctant to leave.

"My brother has some." Xiao Wenjun breathed a sigh of relief. Her brother still had some, so she didn't have to give the flowers to her aunt.

"But auntie needs what Xiao Wenjun has. What should we do?" Ning Jiaxuan teased Xiao Wenjun.

Xiao Wenjun suddenly had an idea. She took the flowers from Ning Yuhao's hand and gave them to Ning Jiaxuan, "Give the baby's flowers to auntie."

"Little clever." Ning Jiaxuan smiled.

"The flowers in the yard are for her to play with." Su Xueqing said.

At first, Su Xueqing wanted the flowers in the yard to bloom longer, but her daughter liked to destroy flowers at a young age. Children don't think that flowers blooming on branches are beautiful, she thinks that flowers picked and in the hand are beautiful.

"If you go to the yard now, you can still see quite a lot of flowers, but after a while, you will see fewer." Su Xueqing said.

"If there are no more flowers, just change them." Ning Jiaxuan said, "It's not a big deal. Our little Wenjun just likes a few flowers. It's not a big deal."

"Huahua, Auntie." Xiao Wenjun said, "It looks good."

"Who's prettier, Huahua or my aunt?" Ning Jiaxuan asked.

"Mom is beautiful." Xiao Wenjun said.

"..." Ning Jiaxuan looked at Xiao Wenjun. Her little niece didn't even know how to comfort her. Ning Jiaxuan looked at her brother again, "Brother, your daughter doesn't look like me at all. She looks like you."

"Go and play." Ning Yanjing picked up Xiao Wenjun and let his wife talk to his sister for a while.

Ning Yuhao followed Ning Yanjing happily, he wanted to play with his sister.

"How is the little brother...how is he taking care of the child?" Ning Jiaxuan asked Su Xueqing, "Is the child scared and crying?"

"Fortunately, the child is not easily frightened and cries because of the long contact time." Su Xueqing said, "Junjun wet the bed a few days ago. She even took the kettle and wanted to pour the water on the bed. It was the kettle that fell, not her urine."

"So smart." Ning Jiaxuan said.

"Sometimes, she doesn't sleep late at night and calls for her mom." Su Xueqing said, "There's really nothing we can do with her. During the day, she sleeps soundly, but can't fall asleep at night. She even says she wants to go out to play late at night, so I can only turn on the lights in the yard and take her for a walk around the yard. There are two chickens and two ducks in the corner of the yard. When she saw that my mom had chickens and ducks, she wanted to raise some too, so she did."

In the first few days, Xiao Wenjun always wanted to see the ducklings and chicks, but after a few days, Xiao Wenjun didn't think about the ducklings and chicks anymore. When Xiao Wenjun remembered them, she would go over to take a look. If she saw something she didn't like to eat, she would say that the ducklings and chicks were edible and that she would feed them and not let them go hungry.

Ning Jiaxuan listened to Amelia Su talking about Xiao Wenjun's interesting stories and said, "Unfortunately, I didn't see it."

"If she were younger, you wouldn't think of looking after her more. At this time, she should be more obedient and less noisy." Su Xueqing said, "Everyone says she is easy to take care of, but when she becomes difficult, she is extremely difficult to take care of. Not easy at all."

"It will naturally become difficult to carry if you carry it with you every day," said Ning Jiaxuan.

"When you have children in the future, you will know that raising children is not an easy thing." Su Xueqing said.

"It's okay, we'll find someone to take care of the child when the time comes." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I think Yuhao knows how to play with his sister."

"Yuhao really likes my sister and always comes to play with her." Su Xueqing said, "We have reserved a room for him, and he can still live here."

Aunt Ning Er learned that Ning Jiaxuan was back, so she went to Ning's house. But Ning Jiaxuan was not at home, but at Su Xueqing's place.

"Jiaxuan is not here?" asked Aunt Ning Er.

"She's out." Ning's mother said, "Do you have something to do with her?"

"I heard she's back, so I came to see her." Aunt Ning Er said, "Has Jiaxuan found a date abroad?"

"..." As soon as Mother Ning saw Aunt Ning Er, she knew what Aunt Ning Er was going to ask, "You have to ask her."

"You, as a mother, don't even know how to ask." Aunt Ning Er said, "Jiaxuan is not young anymore, we need to quickly decide on her lifelong event."

"She just came back, don't be in a hurry, let her rest for a while." Ning's mother said.

"Does she need to rest for a while?" Aunt Ning Er said, "Before she came back, someone asked me about Jiaxuan and asked if she had a boyfriend."

"Someone asked me too." Sister Ning came over and said, "The man is a university teacher, and his family background is not bad. He is from our South City, and he is the second son of the Lou family."

"He..." Aunt Ning Er knew this person, "He is older than Jiaxuan."

"He's only two years older, not much." Sister Ning said, "An older man is more caring, Second Aunt, don't you think so? Didn't you say that before?"

Sister-in-law Ning didn't plan to let Aunt Ning introduce a date to Ning Jiaxuan. She didn't just pick someone randomly, but someone actually mentioned it to her. The Lou family was a good family, a family of scholars. Maybe the Lou family didn't have a lot of money, but the Lou family had some background and the Lou family members were well educated.

Aunt Ning Er looked at Mother Ning, "Sister-in-law, what are your plans?"

"In this era, people value free love," Ning's mother said, "arranged weddings are not popular. Where are your relatives from your mother's side? How about introducing them to your relatives from your mother's side?"

Aunt Ning Er thought that if someone liked her relatives from her mother's side, she would introduce them to someone, but the person chose Ning Jiaxuan.

When Aunt Ning Er went back, Ning Jiaxuan hadn't come back yet. Aunt Ning Er deliberately delayed until almost nine o'clock in the evening, wanting to see when Ning Jiaxuan would come back so that she could talk to her, but Ning Jiaxuan didn't come back yet.

It was almost 9:30 in the evening when Ning Jiaxuan came back with Ning Yuhao. Su Xueqing asked Ning Jiaxuan and the others to stay there for one night, so Ning Jiaxuan came back anyway.

"Your second aunt came tonight and asked you if you had a partner." said Ning's mother.

"She wants to introduce those ugly girls to me again?" Ning Jiaxuan said, "I really don't know where she got the courage from. She is so shameless. I told her before that I don't need her to introduce me to someone, but now she wants to introduce me to someone again."

"Your sister-in-law said someone asked her to introduce you to someone," said Ning's mother.

"Which family?" Ning Jiaxuan was more willing to trust the judgment of Ning's eldest sister-in-law, as Ning's second aunt's judgment was really not good.

Su Xueqing had no way to introduce a date to Ning Jiaxuan. She only knew a few people and didn't know anyone who was particularly powerful. Ning Jiaxuan had a good family background, so she naturally had to find a good date. Su Xueqing didn't introduce a date to Ning Jiaxuan casually under the pretext of doing good for her friends or sister-in-law.

"The Lou family." Ning's mother said, "The second child in their family is a teacher at the university."

"They are a family of scholars, very noble and elegant," said Ning Jiaxuan.

"Our family is not bad." Ning's mother said, "You are a master's degree holder and you studied abroad, so you are not bad. If you are willing, go and take a look."

"Let's take a look." Ning Jiaxuan said.

After Xu Ruyun learned that Ning Jiaxuan had returned, she was not worried that Ning Jiaxuan and Yan Yichen would rekindle their old love. There was no love between the two of them. Xu Ruyun stood in front of the mirror and saw the fine lines at the corners of her eyes. Giving birth to two children so closely in succession did have a great impact on her body, and the spots on her face were also a little darker.

When going out during the day, Xu Ruyun puts on makeup and takes it off when she gets home. Xu Ruyun doesn't go to bed without removing her makeup. She doesn't need to maintain a perfect state in front of Yan Yichen. She is not as pretty as Su Xueqing or Ning Jiaxuan. She looks very ordinary.

Xu Ruyun knew that no matter how she dressed up, she was still inferior to others. So she didn't need to bother, but should relax appropriately and let Yan Yichen know that she was open in front of him.

"Is the child asleep?" Yan Yichen dragged his tired body back. He was socializing with others outside and drank some wine.

"He fell asleep." Xu Ruyun said, "Go wash up first. I'll make you some hangover soup. Drink some later."

In her previous life, Xu Ruyun was a housewife. She knew how to do these things and did not leave them all to the servants. Sometimes, a woman can soften a man's heart by doing something appropriate, and make him feel that the woman has done a lot for them.

If the factory business is going well, it will be difficult to expand its scale.

After Yan Yichen finished washing up, Xu Ruyun massaged the area around his temples.

"Have you come to the conclusion?" Xu Ruyun asked.

"Yes, we have come to an agreement." Yan Yichen said, "In recent years, the development zone has also had tax incentives. I wonder when this policy will change."

"If there are changes, a document will be issued." Xu Ruyun said, "Some people don't know and just say it out loud, but those are all rumors."

There are rumors that the development zone has been under construction for many years and many companies have moved in, so the tax incentives may no longer apply. The relevant departments have not said that there are no incentives, and those people are just speculating.

"I went to ask a few days ago, and the policy has not changed." Xu Ruyun said, "Next year's policy has not been determined yet, but the tax incentives are definitely still there, the staff said. Not all the office buildings in the development zone have companies, and some office buildings are empty, and they are still recruiting investors."

"Indeed." Yan Yichen said.

"Don't panic." Xu Ruyun said. Based on her experience in her previous life, the development zone will continue to develop well in the next few years. The development zone has good policies, which is why it attracts so many people to invest. If the policies are not good, people will invest elsewhere instead of in the development zone in South City.

Yan Yichen rubbed his brows. He had drunk a lot of wine and had to socialize. Some deals were negotiated at the wine table. Others didn't just buy directly from their factory because they saw that the products were good. They would still be picky and choose other factories.

"There are factories that produce products based on what we produce," Yan Yichen said. "The quality is not worse than ours."

Yan Yichen saw the fakes, and there was a little difference, but the difference was not particularly big. If Yan Yichen wanted to stop those people from producing, it would be difficult. Some things are too easy to be imitated. Even if the factory is stopped from producing, there will be other counterfeit goods.

"Then we can get new ones." Xu Ruyun said, "Those things are not suitable to be sold every year. If we sell the same things every year, there will be no freshness. Not to mention children, even adults don't want to use the same things every day."

Xu Ruyun understood what Yan Yichen meant. Fighting against counterfeiting is not that easy. It takes time. After fighting against counterfeiting, the factory's business may not be good. Their factory still needs to have fresh things, innovate, and constantly have new styles, so that others will like to place orders in their factory.

Xu Ruyun is not the only person in the factory design department. As the main person in charge of the design department, she manages those designers, some of whom are college students.

Xu Ruyun was not afraid in front of those college students. She had her own logic. She could talk about how to design and what kind of concept, and she was not inferior to those college students at all. Those college students had more professional knowledge, but they did not understand children, and even did not understand women.

Xu Ruyun often tells them to be empathetic and think from the perspective of the customer instead of always thinking from their own perspective. Female designers are fine, because they design things for women, so they will be more careful. However, some male designers design things in a fancy way, saying that the things are beautiful. Xu Ruyun tells them to try them on and see if they are comfortable.

Don't think that those jewels are simply worn on the head and are not edible, so you can fool around with them. Don't treat women as fools, and don't treat children as brainless.

"Today, someone told me that Ning Jiaxuan is back." Xu Ruyun said directly.

Xu Ruyun did not hide anything. She and Yan Yichen were not together because of love. Hiding things would only make their relationship worse.

"I'm back now." Yan Yichen said. He was worried that his mother would say something wrong. "Have you been to my place to see the kids?"

"I only go once or twice a month. Your mother won't let me see the child." Xu Ruyun said, "Even if she won't let me, I have to go and see him. After all, he is my biological son who I carried for ten months. If I don't go and see him, I will feel uneasy. Mom is much better when she takes care of her grandson. She doesn't say those messy things outside like before."

Xu Ruyun went there less often, and she couldn't control Yan's mother. Yan Yichen shouldn't expect Xu Ruyun to control Yan's mother. She couldn't do that. Only Old Lady Yan could manage her a little. Even if Yan Yichen went there himself, Yan's mother wouldn't give him face.

"In the past two years, the factory's business has been stable and gradually improving." Yan Yichen said, "Especially in the past year or so, it has been much better."

"..."Xu Ruyun understood what Yan Yichen meant. Yan's mother spent her energy at home and on her grandson, so she had no time to offend others.

The Ning family was a hurdle that Yan's mother couldn't get over. Yan's mother always liked to say bad things about the Ning family and Ning Jiaxuan. After Ning Jiaxuan went abroad to study, Yan's mother also told Ning Jiaxuan not to marry a foreigner, saying that Ning Jiaxuan was unpatriotic, blah blah. Yan's mother didn't think about the truth of the matter at all, nor did she think about what Ning Jiaxuan was like. She just talked nonsense.

When Yan's mother was playing with others, she dared to speak, but others didn't like to hear her talk about the Ning family. If she spoke too much, it would be all repetitive, and others would either change the subject or leave, so Yan's mother would stop talking.

"Go to bed early." Yan Yichen said.

Yan Yichen wanted Xu Ruyun to do more, but Xu Ruyun had no way to deal with Yan's mother. Yan Yichen himself didn't dare to say anything to Yan's mother, so how could Xu Ruyun say anything to her? Unless Yan's mother made other big mistakes, but Yan's mother didn't.

Under such circumstances, it was particularly difficult, and they could not deal with Yan's mother. It was common for children to get sick, and as long as the child was fine in the end, it would not have much impact.

Xu Ruyun's eldest son followed Yan's mother, and he was generally good-looking, white and plump. When Xu Ruyun saw her eldest son, he didn't recognize her, and didn't even know how to call her mother. He was closer to the servants.

Lying on the bed, Xu Ruyun was thinking about how to treat Yan's mother and how to make her talk less. This was really a big problem. Xu Ruyun really didn't want to see Yan's mother more.

Others said that Old Lady Yan was very smart, saying that as long as Old Lady Yan was around, the Yan family would not be in chaos. But Old Lady Yan didn't care about too many things. Xu Ruyun tried to say something in front of Old Lady Yan, but Old Lady Yan pretended that she didn't hear it.

At night, the Su family was sleeping, and someone knocked on the door. When they opened the door, they found it was Wei Shanshan.

"What happened so late at night?" Su's mother walked into the living room and saw Wei Shanshan.

The one who opened the door was Brother Su San. When he opened the door, he didn't expect it was Wei Shanshan. He thought his sister or younger sister had quarreled with his brother-in-law. He didn't expect it was Wei Shanshan who came.

Amelia Su's money was gone, and she couldn't find it, so she asked Wei Shanshan if she had taken it. Wei Shanshan didn't take it, so of course she said no, Amelia Su didn't believe it and beat Wei Shanshan with a broom. Wei Shanshan ran to the Su family, and Amelia Su followed closely behind.

“Wei Shanshan, you’re still running, you’re still running!” Amelia Su was furious, “Why are you running?”
