Chapter 40 is about Chen Jia.
Chen's mother staggered back home. When Chen Ji saw her distraught appearance, he knew that Chen Jia was the one who had done it.
Sitting next to his mother, Chen Ji looked at her worriedly: "Mom..."
“Son, it was Chen Jia who did it, and she’s not remorseful at all. She thinks that since I’m fine, this matter is over.” Chen’s mother said with a bitter smile.
Chen Ji stood up, his face ashen, and was about to leave.
He hadn't taken two steps when his mother grabbed his wrist, preventing him from leaving.
Seeing Chen's mother like this, Chen Ji asked somewhat angrily, "Mom, even at this point, are you still going to protect Chen Jia?"
"I'm not protecting Chen Jia. From now on, we have nothing to do with Chen Jia, and you don't need to go looking for her," Chen's mother said sadly.
Chen Ji and his wife were somewhat angry that Chen's mother did not pursue Chen Jia's responsibility, and their expressions were rather unpleasant.
Even after Chen Jia did such a thing, her mother still let her off the hook.
"I'm going back to rest for a while. Don't go looking for Chen Jia. From now on, Chen Jia's affairs have nothing to do with us," Chen's mother said in a hoarse voice.
Seeing Chen's mother like this, Chen Ji and his wife exchanged a helpless glance.
It seems that Chen's mother is truly heartbroken this time.
After Chen's mother went back to rest, Chen Ji and his wife took the children and their belongings to Gu Yunting's house.
Seeing them carrying things over, Gu Yunting asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"
"Captain Gu, thank you for this. These are my thanks." Chen Ji placed the items aside.
Gu Yunting pushed the things back: "What are you doing? I didn't save people for your things."
"Of course I know you didn't save my mother for our thanks, but we'd feel bad if we didn't give you something in return. After all, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have a mother," Chen Ji said with a self-deprecating laugh.
Seeing Chen Ji like this, Gu Yunting and Zheng Jiayu exchanged a glance.
Zheng Jiayu glanced at Gu Yunting hesitantly, then asked cautiously, "Have you found out?"
Chen Ji remained silent for a moment, then nodded.
“After I got home, I sent my mom to the treatment room. As expected, Chen Jia was guilty and shocked. She thought that since my mom was alright, the matter was over. I originally wanted to cause trouble for Chen Jia, but my mom wouldn’t let me,” Chen Ji said painfully, covering his face.
He wanted to teach Chen Jia a lesson for his mother's sake, but his mother refused no matter what.
Zheng Jiayu understood what Chen's mother meant.
"No matter what Chen Jia did, she was still a child raised by her aunt. This incident made her aunt sad, but she probably thought that this incident would be enough to sever all ties with Chen Jia and cut off all feelings."
Chen Ji frowned slightly. Is that really the case?
Sister-in-law Chen nodded in agreement: "I think Jiayu is right. Mom probably wants to use this incident to completely sever ties with Chen Jia, so you won't have to pay attention to Chen Jia's affairs anymore."
Chen Ji still couldn't understand it.
"What's so great about Shen Xizhen? Why has Chen Jia become like this because of her?"
"She even lived with Shen Xizhen without any official status. Does she know what people outside are saying about her now?" At first, Chen Ji didn't know what was going on.
One day, he went home for lunch and saw people pointing and whispering about him.
I later found out that Chen Jia had actually moved into Shen Xizhen's house.
He was so angry when he heard the news that he almost died of anger.
Mrs. Chen rubbed her temples: "This is Chen Jia's own choice."
They all knew that Shen Xi was not a good person, but Chen Jia didn't think so; she even thought that Shen Xi was a good person.
He would do anything for Shen Xizhen.
In reality, it was Zheng Jiayu, and then Chen's mother.
Will more people become victims of Chen Jia's actions in the future?
Just thinking about it made Chen Jia seem really terrifying.
Looking down at her two children, Sister Chen said with concern, "You two, stay away from Chen Jia from now on, okay?"
The two children nodded obediently: "I understand."
They didn't like Chen Jia to begin with, and now that their mother forbids them from getting too close to her, they're naturally willing to comply.
With a happy smile on her face, Sister Chen was a little surprised: "You don't like your aunt?"
Chen's daughter kept shaking her head: "I don't like it. My aunt always takes our things and calls me a money-loser. She says that Grandma will sell me sooner or later."
“But Grandma never looked down on me because I’m a girl, and she never called me a burden like other people do. I don’t believe what she said.” Chen Ji’s daughter told them everything Chen Jia had said.
Hearing these words, Chen Ji's face turned ashen with anger: "Chen Jia is really something, she really can say anything, how can she be so shameless."
Zheng Jiayu never expected that Chen Jia would not even spare one child, and even sow discord between the two children and Chen's mother.
Fortunately, Chen's mother was really good to the two siblings.
"Grandma is a good grandma. She gives us good food and makes us new clothes."
Chen Ji rubbed the heads of the two children.
Even a child knows this principle, yet Chen Jia seems completely ignorant of it, and even thinks that this whole thing is her mother's fault.
They really underestimated Chen Jia.
"What are your plans for this matter? Have you discussed the child's situation with your aunt?" Gu Yunting asked.
Chen Ji nodded without hesitation: "I definitely will."
Chen's mother still has some feelings for Chen Jia. Only when Chen's mother is completely disappointed in Chen Jia will she stop having any thoughts about Chen Jia.
"This is a good thing."
"Then we'll be going now."
As Zheng Jiayu watched the family of four leave, she suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Chen's mother.
She did so much, yet in the end, she was treated this way by her own daughter, who even tried to sow discord between her and her child.
That's really tragic.
"Chen Jia is really outrageous. Auntie is such a good person, and this guy is just not enjoying his good fortune."
"Forget it, this isn't really our family's business. We'll see how they handle it." Zheng Jiayu glanced at the things beside her.
There are quite a lot of these things.
Seeing Zheng Jiayu looking at the fruits and snacks, Gu Yunting said with a smile, "Don't look so worried. If anything happens to their family in the future, we can just go back. There's no need to make such a fuss."
They keep track of everything these people give them, and they'll return it sooner or later.
"Okay, whatever you say."
Zheng Jiayu took the things to the kitchen.
Chen Ji and his wife took their child back home and went to their room to find Chen's mother.
Seeing them all come over, Chen's mother propped herself up and sat up in bed: "What's wrong?"
"Mom, Chen Jia did some other things as well."
Chen's mother was stunned. Looking at their embarrassed expressions, she asked in a trembling voice, "What else has Chen Jia done? I want to see what else this child can do."
