The Fake Heiress's Husband Reborn

For Xie Jing, it seemed she was always a supporting character. Though the eldest daughter, her parents favored her twin younger siblings, Xie Wuyi and Xie Wuyou more. In terms of family affection, ...

Chapter 142: Morning Exercises between Father-in-law and Son-in-law

When Xie Jing came out of the shared bathroom, Zhou Jiyun also came out of the bathroom. He took the towel from Xie Jing's hand and wiped her hair, then blew it dry. He patted Xie Jing's shoulder and said, "Go to sleep if you're tired."

Xie Jing turned around and looked up at Zhou Jiyun: "I couldn't sleep. I just felt it was quite sudden. I thought I would have to wait for a long time, but I didn't expect them to appear in front of me so suddenly without giving me any time to prepare."

Zhou Jiyun squatted down in front of her, almost looking up at Xie Jing: "I thought you were very calm, and you were very calm from beginning to end."

Xie Jing pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm just a little confused. In fact, I'm still a little confused until now."

Xie Jing wasn't the only one who was stunned. Yun Lan and Cheng Shuying in the guest bedroom were still a little bit in disbelief. They had only just learned the news in the morning, and they would be sharing a room with their daughter and son-in-law that evening.

Cheng Shuying pinched Yunlan: "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts." Yun Lan held her hand with his backhand: "I am already very satisfied now."

Cheng Shuying smiled until tears came down: "She was only that big when she was born. I didn't expect that after so many years, she has grown up so big, and she has grown up so well."

"When I see her, I think of my own irresponsibility..."

Yun Lan squeezed her hand tightly. "You're not to blame for this. Jingjing was a victim, but we were victims too. Fortunately, after all these years, our nightmare is finally over."

Cheng Shuying sighed: "I just feel sorry that she got married so early. If she hadn't gotten married, I could have kept her for a few more years."

Yun Lan: "Xiao Zhou won't agree. I think he's very thoughtful and treats Jingjing very well."

Cheng Shuying sighed, "I saw it. Seeing Jingjing and Xiao Zhou doing well, I felt both happy and sad. Xiao Zhou's family is complicated, and I'm worried Jingjing might get into danger."

Yun Lan comforted her, "Don't we have us now? Even if things don't work out, we still have Big Brother. If you want Jingjing to rest easy in the future, Xiao Zhou's family affairs must be resolved. Speaking of which...it's not easy for him either."

Cheng Shuying chuckled: "I thought you would dislike him."

"I really don't like him," Yun Lan said calmly, "Jingjing is my daughter. No matter who she marries, I won't like them."

"But I have to admit that we, a pair of latecomers, are definitely not as good as Xiao Zhou in Jingjing's heart. Since I see this clearly, I certainly won't express my dislike. Wouldn't that just push Jingjing away?"

Cheng Shuying smiled: "I think you and Xiao Zhou have some similarities. You are both deep-minded and wear masks."

Yun Lan: "Maybe it's just that same-sex relationships. I don't care what he thinks of me. As long as he treats Jingjing well, that's enough. But in this respect, you and Jingjing are quite similar. You both chose a partner like us."

He said, hugging Cheng Shuying: "It's getting late, let's go to bed early. We have to meet Xiao Zhou's grandfather tomorrow. As in-laws, we can't lose face for Jingjing."

"The Liu and Xie families have humiliated Jingjing so much, we have to hold her back. Oh, and the gift we prepared for Jingjing should be delivered tomorrow, right?"

Cheng Shuying said softly, "I called home after the test results came out. They should have sent it to S City overnight. Unfortunately, Jingjing will be living in S City from now on and won't spend much time in the capital."

Yun Lan: "Then let's live in S City. Xiao Zhou is usually alone and has no relatives to help him. We finally found our daughter. Are you willing to go back just like that?"

Cheng Shuying: "Of course I can't bear to leave, but I'm worried about my parents who are in the capital and they're old. I'm the youngest daughter, and my parents have been worried about Jingjing over the years."

"Now that I've left them behind and come to S City, I still feel bad."

Yun Lan was open-minded: "We'll see what Jingjing and the others think. What if Xiao Zhou doesn't want to stay in S City anymore? That's hard to say. But Jingjing is still studying, so she's definitely going to stay here."

Cheng Shuying thought about it and said: "Let's talk about it later. Anyway, the elderly on both sides are in good health now."

Before six in the morning, Zhou Jiyun got up and left the room. But when he pushed the door open, Yun Lan also came out of the room. When the two met, they were both stunned for a moment, but Zhou Jiyun was the quickest to respond: "Dad, good morning."

Yun Lan looked at him in his sportswear and said, "Going out for morning exercise? Would you mind giving me some sportswear? I want to go out for a run too."

Zhou Jiyun silently pushed open the door of the cloakroom: "You can choose it yourself. I'm taking Diandian out for a walk and some morning exercise."

Diandian sat at Zhou Jiyun's feet holding the leash in its mouth. When Yunlan looked over, it tilted its head and swung its half-broken tail, obviously very friendly.

Yun Lan went in very quickly and chose a set of Zhou Jiyun's sportswear. Then the father-in-law and son-in-law took Diandian out for morning exercise. Meanwhile, Xie Jing and Cheng Shuying were both sleeping soundly in the bedroom.

Zhou Jiyun knew how to keep the atmosphere lively. While waiting for the elevator, he smiled and said, "Diandian and Dali were both adopted by Jingjing from the pet rescue center. Jingjing thought they were a good match, so she brought them back from the rescue center on the day we returned home."

He touched Diandian's head and said, "Look closely, Diandian is still very handsome."

Yun Lan lowered his eyes and took a look: "Yes, that's right. What does Jingjing like to do usually?"

Zhou Jiyun wasn't shy either: "After finishing her lessons, she spends more time in the piano room..."

After running around the community with Yunlan, Zhou Jiyun didn't blush or get out of breath. Although Yunlan was thin, that was because of his heart disease. In fact, he was in good health.

After practicing with Zhou Jiyun in the morning, Yun Lan had to admit that, apart from his family shortcomings, Zhou Jiyun was indeed a rare young talent.

"Are you investigating your parents' accident?" Yun Lan had something to say. He might be more tactful with Xie Jing, but he was very direct with others.

Zhou Jiyun wasn't surprised. "Yes, although my parents' accident was closed as an accident, I still feel there are doubts. And I also found the driver who caused the accident..."

He then told the story of Liu Jun and the boy born to the old couple. Yun Lan listened quietly: "Money can move people's hearts. If you don't mind, I'll ask my eldest brother to help find out later."

Zhou Jiyun certainly wouldn't mind: "Thank you, Dad. There's one more thing..."

He glanced at Yun Lan's expression and carefully told him about the dark web commission. Yun Lan's eyes widened: "Too arrogant! How about letting Jingjing come back with us? Wait until you've finished dealing with your business?"

"She'll definitely be safer if she stays in the compound than she is now."
