My Ex-Husband Got Engaged, I Reincarnated, and the Crown Prince of the Capital City Went Mad for Me

Jian He never thought being a doormat was a terrible thing.

After all, she believed she loved Yin Muqiao very much.

But when she witnessed Yin Muqiao making love with another woman on h...

Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Burden

Jian He was talking to Rui Bao when Ding Wenzhu sat down next to her, and she realized that she seemed to have seen Ding Wenzhu somewhere before.

Ding Wenzhu was a very talkative woman. She smiled slightly at Jian He and said, "Miss Jian, you don't remember me, do you?"

Jian He wasn't very familiar with Ding Wenzhu, although she had met Ding Wenzhu once before.

"And you are?"

Jian He maintained her politeness and courtesy.

Unexpectedly, Ding Wenzhu turned her attention to Ruibao, who was sitting next to Jian He.

After looking Rui Bao up and down, she raised an eyebrow and covered her mouth with a look of utter disgust.

"Oh, is this little boy your son?"

Jian He didn't understand what Ding Wenzhu meant. She nodded and said, "Yes, he is my son..."

"Your son is good-looking, a real heartthrob, but... you, a woman with a child in tow, are destined never to enter the Cheng family."

"Not to mention my good friend Luo Ye, even the head of the Cheng family would never agree."

As soon as Ding Wenzhu said this, Jian He instantly remembered her identity. Wasn't this the woman who wanted her daughter to go on a blind date with Cheng Yan?

Is she here to cause trouble?

Jian He's lips trembled with anger. She stood up and retorted, "If I can't enter the Cheng family's gate, does that mean your daughter can?"

Ding Wenzhu smiled and said, "Of course, my daughter is a college graduate from a reputable university, a top student, well-educated and reasonable. Most importantly, she is well-behaved and has never been divorced, so naturally..."

As Ding Wenzhu spoke, she made sure to use her divorce history to criticize Jian He.

It's as if Jian He, being divorced, is inferior to others.

Seeing her arrogant attitude, Jian He no longer needed to indulge her.

She let her temper flare and went straight to Ding Wenzhu's weakness, saying, "Yes, your daughter is fine, but with you as her unmarried mother, she probably won't have a good chance of entering the Cheng family."

"Also, Ms. Ding, if I may ask, has that married man who dumped you paid any child support for your daughter?"

Jian He's blunt and unforgiving rebuke infuriated Ding Wenzhu to the point of rage.

She never expected that Jian He would bring up this embarrassing past from her youth.

And what about herself? Isn't she just as bad?

"you?"

Ding Wenzhu pointed at Jian He, her anger palpable, as if she wanted to tear Jian He apart at any moment.

Jian He was not afraid of her. She said, "Ms. Ding, I have no intention of being your enemy, but if you insist on making trouble for me, don't blame me for being impolite."

“I am divorced, but I was married legally and openly, unlike you, who hides your shameful past and mocks other people’s lives.”

"Also, I must warn you, my son is not a burden to me, he is my pride, and I will not allow anyone to point fingers at us in our world."

Jian He raised her small face and met Ding Wenzhu's gaze with a powerful aura.

Ding Wenzhu reached out and grabbed the teacup in front of her, preparing to attack Jian He.

Just then, Rui Bao, who had been sitting next to Jian He, suddenly stood up. He was one step ahead of Ding Wenzhu, grabbed the teacup in front of him, and splashed it on Ding Wenzhu's face.

Ding Wenzhu never expected that Ruibao, at such a young age, would dare to lay a hand on her.

She angrily berated Ruibao: "You little brat, how dare you splash water on me?"

Despite his young age, Rui Bao was not afraid of Ding Wenzhu at all. He straightened his neck and said to Ding Wenzhu, "If you bully my mother, I will splash water on you."

"If you dare to bully my mother again, I'll still throw it on you..."

Ding Wenzhu was enraged by Rui Bao's words. Disregarding her status, she wanted to rush over and attack Jian He and her son.

Just then, the restaurant door was pushed open, and Cheng Yan slipped in. When he saw Ding Wenzhu standing angrily in front of Jian He and her son, Cheng Yan's face suddenly darkened.

Ding Wenzhu, on the other hand, seemed to know Cheng Yan's temperament very well. She quickly changed her expression and greeted Cheng Yan with a smile.

"Ayan, you're here!"

Cheng Yan looked displeased. He went to Rui Bao's side, gently stroked Rui Bao's head, and then spoke to Ding Wenzhu with great displeasure.

What's Aunt Ding doing here?

Cheng Yan called Ding Wenzhu "Auntie" because he did so out of respect for his aunt Luo Ye.

"Oh dear, I came here to eat with Xiao Qing, and I didn't expect to run into Miss Jian and her son, so I came over to say hello." Ding Wenzhu described her earlier bullying of Jian He and her son as a greeting.

However, Cheng Yan didn't believe it, because he could tell from Jian He and Rui Bao's expressions that Ding Wenzhu was definitely not just coming over to say hello.

Rui Bao wanted to tell Cheng Yan what had just happened, but after Jian He gave him a look, Rui Bao wisely shut up. He and his mother didn't want to cause trouble for Cheng Yan.

"Have you finished greeting everyone?" Cheng Yan asked Ding Wenzhu expressionlessly.

Ding Wenzhu said, "Hmm... Ayan, it's quite a coincidence that we bumped into each other here today. How about we have dinner together tonight?"

Ding Wenzhu didn't want to miss any opportunity to be with Cheng Yan. Only in this way could her daughter, Ding Qing, spark a romance with Cheng Yan.

She simply couldn't believe that her daughter, Ding Qing, with her beauty and abilities, could be inferior to a divorced woman like Jian He.

Upon hearing Ding Wenzhu's request to have dinner with them, Jian He frowned slightly.

She disliked Ding Wenzhu and was even less willing to eat with her.

Cheng Yan accurately captured the subtle expressions on her face, and soon his eyes fell on Ding Wenzhu's clothes that had been splashed by Rui Bao.

He did not answer Ding Wenzhu's question, but instead invited Jian He and Rui Bao to sit down.

Ding Wenzhu assumed that Cheng Yan had tacitly agreed to her suggestion, so she waved to Ding Qing, who was standing not far away, wanting Ding Qing to come over.

While greeting everyone, Ding Wenzhu spoke to Cheng Yan as if they were very familiar with each other.

“Ayan, it’s quite a coincidence that we’ve run into each other today. I was just about to tell you that I’m planning to move part of our company’s core business to Nanluo City.”

"Today is a good opportunity for us to have a good talk and see if there is any possibility of cooperation."

As Ding Wenzhu spoke, she plopped down on her chair.

Seeing this scene, Jian He and Rui Bao were unhappy. They simply couldn't bear to sit at the same table with the people who had bullied them earlier.
