This year's Spring Festival passed exceptionally quickly.
Qi Shuang only rested for one day on the first day of the Lunar New Year before returning to the set. Although Shi Jing did not go to work, she was still busy.
She has to cooperate with the police investigation, and there are also many things to arrange.
Shi Hai and Yan Wanjun have been contacting Shi Jing more and more frequently in the past six months.
This ex-couple is quite interesting. When Shi Jing exposed the shady dealings between their current partners, she was actually just looking for a spectacle and trying to divert attention.
However, it is clear that, for various reasons, whether emotional or economic, their marital status has not changed.
Unlike in previous years, this ex-couple has started to try to care about Shi Jing's daily life. Although Shi Jing is not happy to pay attention to them, the two still do it tirelessly, calling every now and then to check on her.
After this happened several times, Shi Jing simply stopped calling them as soon as she received their calls and waited for them to finish their procedures before hanging up.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Wanjun actually came to see her directly, ostensibly to show her some concern.
When Shi Jing received Yan Wanjun's call, he had just seen Qi Shuang off and was lying on his own sofa, petting Tuantuan while eating ice cream and reading a book.
The ringing of the phone interrupted her leisurely pace. She frowned impatiently and looked at the phone on the coffee table.
When Shi Jing saw that the caller ID showed Ms. Yan, he was momentarily at a loss.
here we go again.
She skillfully clicked to answer, and was about to toss the phone aside when she faintly heard Yan Wanjun's voice on the other end: "Xiaojing, are you home? Mom is at your apartment complex. Which building are you in?"
Shi Jing paused, her hand about to put down her phone.
"How did you know which neighborhood I live in?" Shi Jing asked seriously.
She never mentioned her address to Shi Hai, Yan Wanjun, or anyone else. In fact, apart from Jin Ye'an and a few assistants, only Qi Shuangrong and these people had ever visited her home.
"Mom saw the pictures you posted on your WeChat Moments," Yan Wanjun said gently. "Xiaojing, Mom hasn't seen you in a long time either. Don't you miss Mom?"
Shi Jing quickly opened her WeChat Moments. She rarely posted on Moments, and even when she did, she would block people like Shi Hai from seeing her posts. The night before last, she posted on Moments very late, and she was a little sleepy, so she forgot this step.
Shi Jing sighed. He had been careless!
What are you doing here?
"Mom misses you. It's the New Year, and you're not coming home, so Mom has to come see you." Yan Wanjun kept calling her "Mom."
"Home?" Shi Jing scoffed. "That's your home, it has nothing to do with me."
"Xiaojing, how could you say that?" Yan Wanjun sighed. "Mom knows she was wrong. Don't be angry with Mom, okay?"
"I thought I'd made it obvious enough. What, are you sure you want me to completely block you all?"
"Xiao Jing!" Yan Wanjun said urgently, her voice trembling slightly, "You are my only daughter, how hurtful it is that you say that..."
Hearing the voice, Shi Jing remained completely unmoved.
She had no expectations of Yan Wanjun.
Rather than saying she wanted to repair the mother-daughter relationship, it's more accurate to say she was after the benefits that would result from such a repair. Otherwise, why would she have ignored her for so many years, only to change her attitude drastically after learning her true wealth?
“For the past six months, you and Shi Hai have been calling me from time to time, which is bothering me.” Shi Jing said coldly. “We all know what you’re after. You can show your parental love, but don’t try to demand a response from me.”
"No..."
"No? Then why don't you tell me why you could cut off my living expenses and not contact me for several years back then? And why are you in such a hurry to repair the relationship now?"
On the other end of the phone, Yan Wanjun was speechless for a moment.
"You wanted to pursue love, and I didn't try to trip you up, did I? You wanted to use the house to please your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and I tactfully avoided that, didn't I?" Shi Jing softened her tone and continued, "When I left, I also reminded you to protect your property, didn't I? What, you're confused yourself, and you expect me to foot the bill?"
"How could you..." Yan Wanjun's tone was extremely surprised.
How would I know your current situation? Do you really think this kind of thing is a secret?
Shi Jing disliked the couple, but out of a sense of responsibility to the original owner, she was still prepared to take care of them in their old age. However, the two of them always tried to test her nerves.
Shi Hai is a selfish man. Although Shi Jing has never given him any substantial benefits, he still managed to gain some advantages in her name.
As for Yan Wanjun, Shi Jing really didn't know how to evaluate her.
She couldn't understand what kind of methods Qin Jianzhong used to have such a tight grip on her. Even though she had warned Yan Wanjun six months ago that their acquaintance wasn't simple and that he had a gambling addiction, Yan Wanjun was blinded by greed and remained devoted to him.
"Six months ago, you already knew what that man was really like. Since you refused to divorce him and were willing to share joys and sorrows with him and never abandon him, why are you coming to me now?"
Over the past six months, Shi Jing has been keeping a close eye on Yan Wanjun and her group's movements, and she is also aware that Qin Jianzhong secretly mortgaged Yan Wanjun's property behind her back.
Shi Jing simply watched and did nothing.
She didn't interfere then, and naturally she won't interfere now.
"Xiao Jing, you know everything, so please help your mother..."
"Love makes even water taste sweet, Ms. Yan."
"Mom has no other choice. Your Uncle Qin owes a lot of money. If he can't pay it back, they'll definitely beat him to death! And the court too. If he can't pay it back, the court will definitely take away Mom's property..."
"If neither of us wants to get involved, why would I care about Qin Jianzhong?" Shi Jing was speechless at her words. "I did say that I would take care of you when you get old, but that doesn't include your current husband! For the sake of your future pension, you'd better not piss me off."
"Xiaojing, please help Mom this once. Just consider it a loan from you, okay? Xiaojing, Mom really has no other choice, Xiaojing, Xiaojing..."
Despite Yan Wanjun calling Shi Jing's name repeatedly on the other end of the phone, Shi Jing stopped listening and hung up the phone directly.
She wasn't worried about Yan Wanjun causing trouble. When she bought the house, she specifically chose a neighborhood with excellent property management. This neighborhood was expensive, but it was truly excellent; unless the owners agreed, even the King of Heaven couldn't get in.
As for making a scene in the media, Shi Jing is increasingly indifferent these days. Let them make a scene if they want!
Just like she said on the phone, the amount of her pension is entirely in her own hands. If she really angers them, she won't care about the kindness they showed to the original owner!
