Reuniting with My Ex-Husband, Should We Have a Second Child?

It was five years later when she met Jiang Jingcheng again. The Zhou Zi of today was no longer the willful and flamboyant Zhou Zi of five years ago, nor was she the proud eldest young lady of the Z...

Chapter 886 Very close

Zhangzhu was still the same, always lazy and ladylike. She smiled and said to Qiao Shiyu, "Come to see Chen Yuan?"

"Yes, I came to see you and my second brother. I heard Chaoyun was getting engaged, so I came to see her. We are relatives, so we have to visit each other more often." Qiao Shiyu added, "I also came to see Ayan's baby."

Zhangzhu saw Jiang Xizhi and Tian Yuxiang.

Although she didn't show it on her face, Zhangzhu always looked at Tian Yuxiang with a different look.

Tian Yuxiang also knew where this look came from.

The third marriage, the murder, and the lack of a grand wedding. Without a grand wedding, it felt a bit sneaky.

Jiang Xizhi is the only son of the Jiang family and the apple of Peng Yan's eye.

Their combination is somewhat mismatched, and Tian Yuxiang hates such looks.

This was the first time she and Jiang Yizhi visited relatives together after their marriage.

There are always many firsts that make people feel particularly uncomfortable.

"Chao Yun's lover hasn't been finalized yet, and the date hasn't been set. I'm just saying this." Zhang Zhu continued, "Speaking of Chen Yuan, it seems she lives in the same neighborhood as Chao Yun. I wonder if Chao Yun knows her. Aren't you guys planning to film with her? A celebrity of her level might not necessarily accept."

Zhang Zhu originally wanted to say that if it was Alan who came, it would be different. Alan's boss was probably Chen Yuan who was instigating it. However, she didn't say it in the end, for fear of undermining Qiao Shiyu's confidence.

Besides, Qiao Shiyu's film and television company is somewhat of a hobby, and she is not a professional in this field, unlike Alan who specializes in a certain field.

"How about we go out for dinner together tonight. This time, let's just stay at home instead of moving out. It's more convenient to stay at home and there won't be many people around. Dongzhu and Nie Yiheng don't live at home anymore." Zhangzhu said that now it's just her and Jiang Yandong, and they feel very bored.

"Okay." Qiao Shiyu agreed happily.

In the evening, Zhangzhu called Ayan, Chaoyun, Wangyun and Dongzhu. The whole family came, including Lin Jingya. Zhangzhu specially asked Lin Jingya to come. Qiao Shiyu had never seen Lin Jingya before, and she wanted Qiao Shiyu to judge whether she was a good candidate for a daughter-in-law.

Qiao Shiyu thought Lin Jingya was pretty good, and the glances she exchanged with Zhangzhu also showed that she was quite satisfied.

Talking about the purpose of coming to the United States, Lin Jingya asked, "Why did Third Aunt think of letting Shen Yuan play this role?"

"This is what our screenwriter meant," Qiao Shiyu glanced at Tian Yuxiang. "Also, after Yu Nian from our company came here this time, he kept mentioning Chen Yuan. Although Yu Nian is very jealous of Chen Yuan, I can see that it's just professional envy. Also, our director really loves his wife and wants the most famous person to play the role of his wife."

After saying that, Qiao Shiyu glanced at Tian Yuxiang and Jiang Yizhi again and said, "Yizhi, who doesn't even like movies, invested in it for his wife."

Qiao Shiyu spared no effort in praising Jiang Xizhi and Tian Yuxiang.

Tian Yuxiang pulled Qiao Shiyu's arm from below and said, "Stop talking, Third Uncle."

It turns out that Xiangxiang can be shy too.

"We're having dinner with Chen Yuan the night after tomorrow," Qiao Shiyu added. "The Chinese version of the script has been printed out. Does Chen Yuan know Chinese? If not, it needs to be translated into English. Translating a script is a tedious task."

"I don't know. Ask Chaoyun." Zhangzhu said again.

"I don't know." Chao Yun said lightly.

"Aren't you living in the same community as her?" Zhangzhu said again.

"The parking space is right next to mine. I've run into Miss Chen a few times when I was driving the Chaoyun car." Lin Jingya added, "Her figure and demeanor are truly extraordinary."

A Yan glanced at Jiang Chaoyun. Jiang Chaoyun seemed to be indifferent to the situation and didn't say much.

"Then are we coming tomorrow night? Or you can pick one to follow you." Zhang Zhu continued, "In order to avoid being too unfamiliar, since Jingya has met Chen Yuan, let her come with you. You may not know this, but Jingya is an excellent lawyer. Even though we may seem gentle now, you can't underestimate us in the workplace. I wonder how we compare to your Jiang Qiao?"

Zhangzhu is a good mother-in-law. She knows how to speak so that her daughter-in-law is willing to listen. She keeps saying "we Jingya" and "we Jingya". Lin Jingya feels so comfortable hearing that.

Zhangzhu also wanted to use this incident to get Lin Jingya to join the Jiang family's work as soon as possible, so that she wouldn't feel like an outsider. Zhangzhu was a very successful mother-in-law, and even Nie Yiheng liked her very much.

"Is there another lawyer in Third Aunt's family?" Lin Jingya asked again.

"Yes. My daughter." Qiao Shiyu asked again.

"Then I guess we'll have to meet some other day. I wonder if we'll feel a sense of mutual appreciation and regret for not meeting each other earlier." Lin Jingya added, "Who knows, maybe one day you and Shen Yuan will meet each other too late and sign a contract on the spot. Then I'll have made the right decision."

"How can it be that fast?" Qiao Shiyu said, "She has to read the script first."

"Oh, by the way, your daughter, I really want to meet her. Should I call her sister?" Lin Jingya said again.

"Yes, Chaoyun's sister is naturally yours. She is a few years older than you and about the same age as Chaoyun. If she has the chance in the future, she will come to the United States often." Qiao Shiyu smiled again.

During this meal, Zhangzhu and Qiao Shiyu mainly talked. Jiang Yandong didn't say much. He arranged for Lin Jingya to come to Zhangzhu's house the next day, and then go to see Chen Yuan together.

In the evening of the next day, Lin Jingya asked Jiang Chaoyun to take her to Zhangzhu's house, or preferably to the hotel where they were going to have dinner.

"Okay." Jiang Chaoyun was drinking water at home and just answered with this one word.

Before going to eat, Chen Yuan did some homework at home.

"There are three people here in total. Qiao Shiyu is the wife of Jiang Yanyuan, the third son of the Jiang family. I heard that Jiang Jingcheng said that this daughter-in-law should be the head of the family. Over the years, she has done a good job. The eldest daughter of the Jiang family is called Jiang Wanning. She married to City A and was once the richest person in City A. Later, she was squeezed out by Lu Kaiyun, Jiang Qiao's husband. When Jiang Qiao was eighteen years old, she took most of Jiang Jingcheng's property and became the richest person at a young age. There are two other people who came, Jiang Yizhi and Tian Yuxiang, the only son and daughter-in-law of the fourth son of the Jiang family. They now have three children, Jiang Shan, Dong Shui, and Jiang Tian. The one with the surname Jiang is a boy, and the one with the surname Dong is a girl. You can buy some gifts for the three children when the time comes." Lu Yichen told Chen Yuan about the situation of the Jiang family in detail.

Many things could not be found on the Internet, so Lu Yichen asked people he knew to look them up. Needless to say, Lu Yichen's efficiency was quick and good, so that when they met, Chen Yuan would not be confused and would not know where to start.

"Wait, wait—" Chen Yuan put on hand cream and raised his hand, "Why do the three children have the surname Jiang for the boy and Dong for the girl? They don't take their mother's surname. Why is that?"

"Tian Yuxiang used to be in a relationship with Jiang Yizhi. After she became pregnant, she married a man named Dong. Later, Dong died, and she followed Jiang Yizhi again." Lu Yichen spoke like a robot, his voice dull and without any tone.

"Interesting." Tian Yuxiang wiped the hand cream, "Jiang Yuzhi is——"

Chen Yuan's mind was somewhat disturbed.
