After learning from Zhou Ling about Zhou Chen giving away the cell phone, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua, a married couple,
Instead of comforting Zhou Ling, he started complaining.
If Zhou Ling hadn't done those things, she would have been the one to receive the phone, and the two of them might even have benefited from it.
Instead of an outsider like Li Kaile benefiting.
"Anyway, what's done is done, and there's no use in regretting it. I suspect that he did this just to put on a show and make us three siblings regret it."
Zhou Ling, as if she saw through Zhou Chen's trick, said.
"Whether it was intentional or not, we won't get anything out of him anyway, so let's not talk about him anymore, lest you upset your baby," Wang Xiuhua said, feigning concern. She and her husband had already given up on the idea of getting anything from Zhou Chen.
After saying this, he exchanged a glance with Zhou Dana.
Zhou Dana understood immediately and started a new topic, "Xiaoling, I see that your son-in-law is often not at home. It's very dangerous for you to be pregnant all alone. Why don't you hire a nanny to take care of you?"
Hire a nanny?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling immediately shook her head. She couldn't bear to waste money like that. "Dad, Mom, I'm fine. I can handle it myself. Besides, there are still several months until I give birth."
"No, absolutely not. Your dad and I are still worried about you being home alone."
Wang Xiuhua insisted.
Zhou Dana chimed in, "It's a pity that renting a house in this neighborhood is too expensive. Otherwise, the three of us could live close by, and your mother and I wouldn't have to worry about you. We could cook your favorite dishes for you every day."
At this point, Zhou Dana shook his head and sighed, as if blaming himself for not being able to take good care of Zhou Ling.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Ling couldn't help but imagine herself living with her parents. She wouldn't have to do anything every day, her parents would cook for her, and they could talk and chat with her. The family would be together every day, which seemed pretty good.
"Mom and Dad, if you don't mind, you can move in and live with us."
"Anyway, our house is big with several bedrooms, so you can save money on hotels."
Zhou Ling suddenly realized that her parents were the best caregivers. As long as they moved in, she could be a pregnant woman with peace of mind.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua exchanged another glance, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes. Their previous remarks were a prelude to moving here.
I didn't expect it to be so easy.
Zhou Ling took the initiative to let them move in.
"Xiaoling, is this...is this okay? Won't it affect your relationship with your son-in-law?"
Although she was overjoyed, Wang Xiuhua still had to put on a show of trepidation.
Zhou Ling patted her chest and assured him, "No, I'll convince Brother Kun. You guys pack up and move in tomorrow."
Seeing this, Zhou Dana made the final decision, saying, "Since the child has said so, mother of the child, let's not refuse."
"Alright then." Wang Xiuhua nodded, feigning nonchalance.
That evening, after Zhao Kun returned home, Zhou Ling, heavily pregnant, prepared water for him to wash his feet and massaged his shoulders with great care, and took the opportunity to mention the incident.
"What? Your parents live with us?"
Zhao Kun suddenly stood up. He had always looked down on Zhou Dana and his wife, thinking they were just country bumpkins. But now, these two were going to live under the same roof as him.
“Brother Kun, my parents are worried that something might happen to me, so they live with us to take better care of me. Besides, think about it, with them around, we don’t have to do any cleaning or housework. It’s like having two extra nannies to take care of our lives.”
Zhou Ling smiled and pointed out the benefits.
These words surprised Zhao Kun, who felt they made some sense.
But he still felt that something was wrong.
By the way,
He married Zhou Ling, not her parents, who came to their home with him.
At that time, the whole family will live together, making him feel like a son-in-law who has moved in with his wife's family.
"Brother Kun, I dropped out of school and followed you. Now I'm pregnant with your child. You don't have time to take care of me every day, so you ask my parents to take care of me. Can't you even grant me this small request?"
"Or is it that I'm not the woman you love most in your heart at all?"
Zhou Ling's eyes reddened. Up until now, she hadn't mentioned the woman who had disrupted the wedding, because she didn't want the relationship to deteriorate. But now, she brought it up subtly, using it as leverage.
This method was taught to me by Zhou Na, in order to make Zhao Kun feel guilty and have no choice but to compromise on certain matters.
Zhao Kun was about to object when he suddenly heard these words, and a sense of shame arose in his heart.
Thinking about how he cheated on Zhou Ling with other women outside, he really felt like a scoundrel.
"It's not that I disagree, it's just that I'm not used to you."
Zhao Kun immediately changed his tune, saying that Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were just hired nannies, since they were free and he wasn't home much during the day, so there was no need to worry about them.
The next day, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua moved into the bright house as they had wished, and lived under the same roof as Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun.
The couple began planning their next step in their room.
They've already moved in, and the next step is to get the demolition compensation from Zhou Ling. However, to their surprise, just an hour after moving in...
Old Mrs. Zhao came to visit.
They were met with ridicule and utter disrespect when the two moved in.
In her opinion, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were shameless for living in their son-in-law's house. If anyone should be living there, it should be her.
The couple were originally thinking about how to gain Zhou Na's complete trust, but when they saw Mrs. Zhao being sarcastic and bullying Zhou Ling, they realized it was a good opportunity and immediately launched a verbal counterattack.
Stand up for Zhou Ling
And so, a verbal battle among adults began.
In the end, Old Mrs. Zhao was no match for the three of them; she couldn't out-argue Zhou Dana, Wang Xiuhua, and Zhou Ling, who would occasionally join the fray.
He had no choice but to leave with a dark expression.
Zhou Ling was very happy. In the past, when faced with Old Mrs. Zhao's bullying, she could only fight back on her own, but now, with her parents' help, she didn't need to get involved herself.
Is this what it feels like to have someone to rely on?
Zhou Ling was immersed in the paternal and maternal love created by Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua, little did she know that it was all an illusion. The concern was fake, the parents were fake, and the protection they showed her was fake.
She was kept in the dark without realizing it.
...
"You'll represent me at the phone launch event."
Zhou Chen declined the invitation from the mobile phone manufacturer and asked Su Jiajia to do it for him.
Four or five mobile phone companies are all holding press conferences. He doesn't have the time for that. Besides, he's not the main character; he's just a game partner. Whether he attends or not doesn't make much difference.
More than attending the press conference, Zhou Chen is looking forward to user feedback on the Happy Match game on their phones.
Now, the moment of truth is approaching.
