Mrs. Sheng felt relieved to see that her son was on her side.
"I really don't like her. Although we've never argued, just seeing her gives me a heart attack."
It's that feeling of helplessness where you know the other person is a bad person, but you can't get rid of them and they keep clinging to you.
It made her feel suffocated.
Sheng Jingheng was quite surprised that Mrs. Sheng had become so resistant to Huang Nianyan.
Because he had never seen the two of them argue.
Instead, it was always Mrs. Sheng who lost her temper first, while Huang Nianyan stood by, feeling wronged and enduring it.
The meeting ended unhappily because of his presence.
They had never argued, but Mrs. Sheng was always quite angry.
There's still unspeakable suffering.
After all, her family didn't believe that Huang Nianyan had bullied her.
Mrs. Sheng felt annoyed whenever she thought of her adopted daughter and forbade Sheng Jingheng from telling Huang Nianyan their home address.
He even made a bet with Sheng Jingheng, "Do you believe that even if you don't tell her the address, she can still find you?"
Sheng Jingheng was not very convinced.
"She's just a clerk; she doesn't have that much authority."
This transfer was made possible through connections made by Old Master Sheng.
Moreover, in his impression, Huang Nianyan had always been a wronged figure, not someone with overwhelming power.
Mrs. Sheng sneered.
"Her? And she's complaining?"
That's a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Don't think she didn't know; Huang Nianyan was specifically cultivating relationships with powerful people in Kyoto.
Anyone who would give her access to such a channel is a close friend of hers.
She wouldn't even glance at someone without power or influence.
Don't underestimate her just because she's a lowly clerk; she has a lot of power to wield.
I don't know anything about Shengjing Heng because I haven't paid attention to him.
But she wouldn't speak up for Huang Nianyan to upset her mother.
"Mr. Sheng will be delivering wedding cakes tomorrow. If you're bored, you can chat with her, or have Xin Xin come over to play."
"Is Boss Sheng coming?"
Speaking of Sheng Yueqing, Mrs. Sheng quite likes her.
That day, I saw her remain calm despite being falsely accused; she handled the situation methodically and skillfully, demonstrating both boldness and meticulousness.
Moreover, he is an upright person, generous to his friends, and a good kid.
"Then let her come, and I'll prepare a gift for her too."
Sheng Jingheng was surprised, not expecting that Mrs. Sheng had such a good impression of Sheng Yueqing.
You know, there are so many rich girls in Kyoto, it's rare to see a mother praising a girl like this.
That woman is truly captivating; not only does Qi Xinxin like her, but even her mother does.
Even him.
He shook his head.
Clear your mind of those thoughts and don't let yourself get caught up in them.
"I'm going to get busy now. If you get bored, get a dog. Call me if you need anything, and I'll come back."
Mrs. Sheng knew he was busy and didn't dare to delay him. "Go ahead. The Qi family isn't far from here. Xin Xin and her mother will definitely come to see me every day."
Sheng Jingheng hummed in agreement and left.
the next day.
As soon as Sheng Yueqing got up, she started packing candied fruit and wedding cakes for Mrs. Sheng.
It also contained pickled chicken feet that had been marinated overnight.
I also made some dumplings, steamed them, and brought them back with me.
Riverside villas are easy to find, especially the one that Shengjing Heng bought, which has a unique decoration and can be spotted at a glance.
Sheng Jingheng had given instructions to the gatekeeper, and Sheng Yueqing entered smoothly.
She rang the doorbell, and Mrs. Sheng was quite happy to hear that she had arrived.
He came out to greet them personally.
"Boss Sheng is here?"
Sheng Yueqing, carrying bags and packages, smiled and said, "Yes, have you eaten?"
Mrs. Sheng shook her head, "I got up late today and haven't eaten yet."
It was almost midnight when she finally came downstairs.
Sheng Yueqing held up the still-steaming dumplings. "I brought you some steamed dumplings. Would you like to try some?"
Mrs. Sheng smiled and said, "I can't wait! Everything you make is delicious."
Sheng Yueqing smiled and helped her arrange the plates, then took out the prepared sauce.
"Please eat it while it's hot."
Those steamed dumplings were plump and white, with thin skins and generous fillings; they looked delicious.
The dipping sauce, in particular, smells delicious.
Mrs. Sheng picked one up with her chopsticks and ate the plain one first.
The pork and scallion filling smelled wonderful.
"tasty."
I ate another one with eggs and chives. "Delicious!"
Although there weren't many flavors, they were all delicious.
The whole steamer basket of dumplings was gone in no time.
Mrs. Sheng wiped her mouth sheepishly, "I should have saved a few for you."
Sheng Yueqing couldn't help but chuckle, "I've already eaten, would you like a few more chestnut cakes?"
The wedding cookies she brought this time included both large and small pieces, making them very convenient to eat in one bite.
Mrs. Sheng ate a few more as expected.
Paired with Sheng Yueqing's coffee, it was very satisfying.
"Mmm~ I'm full."
She hadn't eaten so satisfyingly in a long time.
I used to only eat until I was about 60% full, but today I had a great appetite and ate until I was stuffed.
Sheng Yueqing chatted with her for a while and made her a cup of hawthorn water to help her digest.
Mrs. Sheng liked her more and more the more she looked at her.
He held her hand affectionately, saying, "I don't know why, but I feel a sense of familiarity when I see you. I feel like you and Xin Xin are both like my own children."
There was sincerity in her eyes, and Sheng Yueqing sensed it, which made her smile even more genuine.
"You and Xin Xin are both very approachable, and I like you both very much."
Mrs. Sheng grew increasingly fond of her, scrutinizing her eyebrows and eyes.
The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems.
But I can't remember who it looks like.
She started chatting with Sheng Yueqing, "I heard from Xin Xin that you and your husband traveled a long way to come here. Is it because you can't stay at home anymore?"
She had also spent a few years in the countryside and knew that the preference for sons over daughters was quite serious there.
