On the surface, she seemed worried about Ruan Jiaojiao, but in reality, she was gloating.

So what if you just beat me? What awaits you ahead is a monstrous flood that you can't possibly afford to mess with!

It's just bad luck that you got married and had children, and then Fu Zheng, the only son of the old chief, took a liking to you. If Fu Zheng insists on marrying you, you have no choice but to marry him.

You're a second-hand woman. If you remarry, you'll be considered promiscuous and will be drowned in the spittle of the neighbors!

In the 1970s, society was not so open-minded. People generally believed that once a woman got married, she should follow her husband wherever he went, no matter what he was like.

Unless you are widowed, you are not allowed to remarry, otherwise you will be a promiscuous and rotten woman.

Shui Xiaoxiang felt a little guilty and held Ruan Jiaojiao's hand, saying, "Jiaojiao, it's just a meal together, don't overthink it. Just enjoy your meal, Mom will take care of everything."

Well, that makes it seem a bit pointless.

It's because of you, my weak and clueless mother, that I, Ruan Jiaojiao, was forced to separate from my husband and son on my first day back in Kyoto, and instead had to have dinner with another man.

but……

Ruan Jiaojiao was willing to go in to eat, but not for Fu Zheng, but for the old chief's wife—Zheng Liyun!

In fact, her real husband, Fu Ting, is Zheng Liyun's biological son, and Zheng Liyun is Ruan Jiaojiao's rightful mother-in-law.

However, this matter has not been discussed yet, and Ruan Jiaojiao is not one to meddle, so she will not interfere in Fu Ting's family reunion.

Both morally and logically, she should leave a good impression on Zheng Liyun.

Ruan Jiaojiao went in and obediently called out "Aunt Liyun" and "Brother Fu Zheng".

Fu Zheng was the original owner's childhood sweetheart.

At the time, Shui Xiaoxiang and Zheng Liyun were both pregnant, and it was jokingly said that if they had a son and a daughter, they could arrange a marriage between their children.

It was just a joke between adults; nobody took it seriously.

Moreover, even if Zheng Liyun were willing, Shui Xiaoxiang wouldn't dare to aspire to such a high position.

The old chief and her husband were like the difference between a great general serving the emperor and a local battalion commander.

However, by chance, her husband was doing things for the old leader, and she was fortunate enough to be neighbors with Zheng Liyun for a few years. Ruan Jiaojiao and Fu Zheng, the two children, also often played together.

Unexpectedly, after all these years, Fu Zheng still can't forget Ruan Jiaojiao, even though Ruan Jiaojiao already has a family...

Shui Xiaoxiang tried to convince herself that Fu Zheng was just having a passing fancy. Who would like a woman who was already married and had children?

Fortunately, Fu Ting didn't come over, and apart from Zheng Liyun and Fu Zheng, no one present had the chance to see the old commander's face.

Otherwise, they would find that Fu Ting today is practically a carbon copy of the old chief Fu Zhengting when he was young! The two of them are practically identical!

"Little Jiaojiao, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for so long."

Fu Zheng stood up and offered his seat to Ruan Jiaojiao.

A look of surprise and helplessness flashed across Shui Xiaoxiang's face, while Shui Linglong's eyes also held an uncontrollable jealousy.

Ruan Jiaojiao remembered this man; he liked the original owner very much because the original owner had saved him once when she was a child.

Fu Zheng was born into a wealthy family and never suffered any hardship. He always got what he wanted, so he was determined to get the original owner of this body.

Perhaps his life had been too smooth, so he always wanted to try something special, like stealing other men's women.

It's not just him; there are many people in this society who appear respectable but always like to do things that are hard to understand.
