Chen Zhaodi frowned and shouted as if making a vow: "This kind of thing must never happen!"
She still has a daughter who hasn't gotten married. If Old Man Chang makes a scene, her daughter Huaying will definitely be dragged down.
Zhou Hongyu smiled slightly. Stop her? There was no way to stop her, especially since it was Chen Zhaodi who had this idea, and Chen Zhaodi's brain wasn't very sharp to begin with.
Chen Zhaodi suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhou Hongyu's arm, her eyes filled with expectation: "Zhou Hongyu, you can't just sit idly by, can you?"
Zhou Hongyu laughed and pulled her hand away: "Of course!"
Chen Zhaodi: !!
No way! Sisters-in-law, let's work together and nip Old Man Chang's crooked thoughts in the bud!
Chen Zhaodi chased after Zhou Hongyu, asking for advice, because she couldn't solve the problem by herself.
Qiao Sirui sighed silently while holding her child. Sensitive as she was, she immediately noticed that the atmosphere at home had suddenly become strange. It seemed she needed to hurry home.
Qiao Sirui left the child outside and made a phone call to her mother, who was far away in her hometown.
Mrs. Qiao was very proud: "Oh, I thought one trip would make you a Beijing resident, why are you coming back again? Why not stay a little longer?"
Whenever Qiao Sirui showed the slightest sign of compromise, her mother would immediately suppress her relentlessly, making Qiao Sirui dare not even entertain the slightest thought of rebuttal.
This is how Qiao Sirui developed her tendency to compromise when faced with problems.
"Mom, I...I'll buy a ticket and go back tomorrow!" Qiao Sirui was extremely embarrassed. Luckily, she had the foresight to hide and make the call, otherwise she would have been too ashamed to face her in-laws.
Qiao's mother knew everything about Qiao Sirui's every move; her daughter, whom she had raised for so many years, could not possibly escape her grasp.
Mrs. Qiao let out a hearty laugh: "No, don't rush back. Stay and enjoy yourself for a while. Or should I come find you? We can come back together then?"
Qiao Sirui felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and she could hardly believe her ears.
Doesn't her mother know why they argued this time?
Her mother didn't think she had done anything wrong at all!
They quietly replaced the Chang family's grandson with the Qiao family's grandson, and they actually thought they hadn't done anything wrong. How terrifying!
Qiao Sirui felt like she was about to go crazy. She gasped for breath and reflexively lowered her head to admit her mistake: "Mom, I was wrong!"
"Hahaha--"
This time, Qiao's mother smiled from the bottom of her heart. She proved once again that Qiao Sirui could only ever submit to her and could never escape her grasp.
Qiao's mother's tone suddenly turned as cold as a piercing wind: "Tell me! What happened to you while you were in the capital!"
Even though Qiao Sirui has escaped her control these past few days, once contact is restored, Qiao's mother still needs to know everything Qiao Sirui has done these past few days.
Qiao Sirui stammered as she told her mother that this time, due to the different circumstances, many parts of Chang Xingwang's family had appeared. Qiao's mother, still dazed from the shock, lowered her head and her face fell.
After Qiao Sirui finished speaking, her mother started scolding her: "How could I have given birth to such a useless daughter? Didn't I tell you to stick to Uncle Yaozu's family whenever you had the chance? You've had so many opportunities, but you've just pretended not to see them!"
Qiao Sirui dared not refute: "Yes, it's my fault for being useless..."
She was so useless that she only married into such a good family thanks to her mother; otherwise, she might not have caught her mother-in-law's eye.
Everything she has now is thanks to her mother.
If she dares to resist, these things will leave her, because they never belonged to her in the first place.
Qiao's mother calmly issued an order: "Don't rush back. It seems you've gotten lucky this time. You've caught Yaozu's second aunt with free time, so you should put in more effort to smooth things over. This will benefit Enen for life!"
Qiao Sirui was having some difficulty breathing. Was the Qiao family's grandson entitled to ask the Chang family for favors?
What her mother did was extremely disgraceful and could not be brought to light; the mere thought of it drove her crazy.
How dare her mother still try to take advantage of the Chang family?
Now, she longs to return to her hometown and face the Chang family in Beijing after all these years.
Mrs. Qiao roared, "Are you even listening? It seems I really have to go over there and make sure you get this done!"
Qiao Sirui broke out in a cold sweat: "Mom, no need, I can..."
Mrs. Qiao said firmly, "Alright, you don't need to say anything more. I've made up my mind. I'll buy a ticket to Beijing tomorrow!"
After saying that, he slammed down the phone, giving Qiao Sirui no time to refute him.
...
After a moment of silence, Qiao Sirui began to breathe rapidly, her body trembling uncontrollably.
She was scared, very scared. She always felt that her mother couldn't hide her true feelings from her second aunt!
Qiao Sirui told her mother-in-law that she would stay a little longer and that her mother was coming from her hometown. Chen Zhaodi, who was originally worried about Old Man Chang's love life, was taken aback.
Chen Zhaodi barely managed to hold back from cursing: "Your mother is really coming?"
How dare she show her face!
Chen Zhaodi felt disgusted and utterly loathed her daughter-in-law's cunning and scheming mother!
Qiao Sirui lowered her head: "Yes, my mom is coming. She bought the ticket and it will arrive tomorrow!"
Chen Zhaodi clicked her tongue. One problem hadn't been solved, and another one had already arisen. How was she supposed to live like this?
Chen Zhaodi, full of resentment, ran to Zhou Hongyu to vent her anger, but before she could say a few words, Zhou Hongyu reached out and stopped her.
Zhou Hongyu frowned: "Stop! That's enough! This is nothing. If you're bothered by it, it's your own fault for overthinking. I advise you to focus on your work and not waste your energy on these trivial matters!"
Neither Old Man Chang's love affair nor Qiao Sirui's biological mother's trip to Beijing could be changed by Chen Zhaodi's will alone.
The best way for Chen Zhaodi to unbutton her clothes is to ignore everything else!
The next day, Qiao's mother arrived in Beijing, and Chang Huaying drove with Qiao Sirui to pick her up.
Chang Huaying's new car was bought not long ago. Qiao's mother found out for the first time today. After getting into the car, her face was all smiles. She kept praising Chang Huaying for her good job, good character, and even better new car!
Chang Huaying smiled. She knew Qiao's mother's character all too well. She could just listen to these words and not take them seriously; only a fool would do that.
When they arrived at Shuangdong Hutong, Chang Huaying went to find a parking space, while Qiao Sirui carefully helped her mother walk home.
After glancing around to make sure no one was watching, Qiao's mother coldly shook off Qiao Sirui's hand and angrily scolded in a low voice, "You, you're so useless! Why didn't you tell me that Yaozu's sister bought a new car!"
Qiao Sirui was at a loss: "This...this isn't a big deal, is it?"
Yaozu's sister bought a new car with her own high salary; her family didn't contribute a single penny. What good would it do if she told her mother?
Mrs. Qiao was furious: "Yaozu's sister bought a new car. Does that mean Yaozu doesn't deserve a car? I won't even say anything to you!"
Qiao Sirui was dumbfounded and stammered for a while: "We...can't afford a car either!"
Qiao's mother clapped her hands excitedly: "Who said you have to pay? Your in-laws can pay! Listen to me, try to get a car from your in-laws these days, and then you go learn to drive right away. Anyway, Yaozu travels all over the country for work, so the car will be yours in the future!"
Qiao Sirui was speechless for a moment. Her parents-in-law spent a lot of money to buy a car for the young couple, and then put it at her parents' house.
No matter how you look at it, it's unreliable!
