Chapter 33 Indifference
"It seems that Han Junfu is only a ten-minute drive from Yuhubancheng?"
Du Yingzhe replied, "Yes, both communities are developed by the same developer."
That’s right, it’s Chen Feng’s family property.
He Chi said seriously, "Yining isn't close to my father-in-law. I can tell she's very happy today, genuinely happy. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen her smiling all the time since I met her."
"If you buy a house in Han Jun Mansion, you will be able to visit each other more often since you are close to each other. With relatives who care about you around you, Yining will feel more secure."
He Chi knew very well that because the two of them got married without any emotional foundation, Jiang Yining felt insecure and kept a distance from him everywhere.
Jiang Yining still didn't really consider him as her husband.
Du Yingzhe and He Chi had been waiting outside the cemetery for half an hour, but they still hadn't come out.
In the cemetery, Jiang Yining watched her uncle sitting silently in front of her mother's tombstone for a long time without saying a word.
She knew what her uncle was thinking. He was worried that he might not be able to see his sister again next time.
Jiang Yining's eyes gradually became moist, and the phone in her bag was vibrating. She took out the phone and took a look. It was her aunt.
She was chatting with Zhang Qiao last night, and she mentioned that a colleague of hers was planning to get married and buy a house.
When Jiang Yining saw the words "buy a house", she thought of the fact that the transfer of ownership of her house had not been completed yet.
Zhao Hong and the others were not anxious these past two days. They probably thought that since her aunt had stepped in, she would not dare to do anything serious, so she was not that scared.
Last night, Jiang Yining asked Zhang Qiao for a favor and wanted to invite her colleague to her house pretending to look at a house.
Colleague Zhang Qiao was also enthusiastic, thinking that she might be able to help her husband take on a real estate dispute case.
It was estimated that the agent had already taken Zhang Qiao's colleague there, so my aunt called her in a hurry.
Jiang Yining took two steps to the side before answering the phone. Her tone was a little cold, and she asked knowingly, "Aunt, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Jiang Yufang paused, too stunned to ask any questions. After a long pause, she finally said, "Ningning, why did you really sell the house?"
"Do you really want them to live on the streets?"
Jiang Yining's voice was cold, "Aunt, the choice is in their hands now. My request is simple, and I have to make preparations for both situations, right?"
Jiang Yufang had no way to refute her, so she could only ask, "When are you free? Let's find a place to meet this afternoon?"
Jiang Yining glanced at his uncle who was still standing in front of his mother's grave and said, "I'm not free this afternoon."
Jiang Yufang lost her patience and thought Jiang Yining was doing it on purpose, so she raised her voice and said in a blaming tone, "Ningning, how could you become like this? You were not like this before!"
Jiang Yining's eyes dimmed for a moment. She snorted and laughed, but there was no smile in her eyes, only sarcasm.
She said, "Aunt, I'm visiting my mother with my uncle and others. We are still at her grave. If you have anything you want to say to her, I can help you put her on speakerphone."
Jiang Yufang was speechless for a moment. She didn't know that Jiang Yining had gone to see Du Ruo. She thought that Jiang Yining was taking He Chi to see his mother-in-law.
"Well...I, since you are not free, then Auntie will call you later, you go ahead and get busy."
Jiang Yufang hung up the phone immediately.
The call was hung up so quickly.
When did she become like this?
They all wanted her to be as obedient, docile and easy to control as before, a good child, and filial to her elders. But whenever she went beyond their expectations, they would change their attitude.
Normally, her aunt treated her well, but between her younger brother and her niece, the former was obviously more important. If Jiang Yiyang was also included, she would have to give way.
Jiang Yining thought that it was not her aunt’s fault, because she also had her own “yardstick for measuring closeness and distance” in her heart.
After Jiang Yufang hung up the phone, she soon received a call from Jiang Wentao.
Jiang Wentao asked, "How is it? What did Ningning say?"
Jiang Yufang sighed, "Nothing much. They went to see Du Ruo today. Wentao, please persuade Zhao Hong to give the betrothal gift to Ningning as a dowry."
"I think Ningning is serious. She's not really trying to scare you. I don't know when this girl became so cold and indifferent."
Jiang Yufang didn't even want to care about her mother's family's affairs anymore, for fear of pleasing both sides.
Zhao Hong is a stingy person. Now that her niece is married well, she might have to ask her niece for help in the future when she has problems.
Jiang Wentao originally thought that if Jiang Yufang came forward, Jiang Yining would listen to her aunt, but it seems to be of no use.
Zhao Hong saw that he had finished the call and walked over. "What did your sister say?"
Her tone was really not good. Jiang Wentao was already annoyed. Hearing this, he roared, "What else can I say? You want both the house and the money. What a mess you have made of our good family..."
Jiang Wentao stood up and planned to go outside to calm down.
Zhao Hong grabbed him and said, "Jiang Wentao, what do you mean by that? Huh?"
"In the end, it's all my fault. Oh, your Jiang family is really interesting. The daughters want to kick me out, and the husband only dares to bully me at home!"
Jiang Wentao felt humiliated by her scolding and started arguing with her too.
"Zhao Hong, don't try to clear yourself so cleanly. Everyone knows how a stepmother like you bullies your stepdaughter. You just keep quarreling all day long!"
Jiang Wentao pointed at Zhao Hong and cursed, "Don't think I don't know how you treat Ningning and Jiajia differently. I love Jiajia like my own daughter, but you treat my daughter like an enemy."
"Ningning hated me because of the blind date you arranged for her. This family is in this state today, and it's all because of you, the troublemaker."
Zhao Hong screamed, "Jiang Wentao, you coward, divorce me if you can!"
Jiang Wentao refused to give in. "Divorce me if you want. Return the money He Chi gave me, or we'll go to court."
Zhao Hong was stunned when these words came out. She hadn't expected Jiang Wentao to really want to divorce her. She punched him again and again, "You heartless man! I risked my life to give birth to a son with you at an advanced age. You said you would treat me well, but it's only been a few years?"
"Jiang Wentao, you bastard!"
Zhao Hong cried out heart-wrenchingly.
The crying was so loud that it attracted all the neighbors.
Aunt Sun came out with a handful of melon seeds in her hand and watched the fun with the neighbors. "I just heard Lao Jiang talking about divorce. Did you hear that?"
"I think I did."
The middle-aged man next to him said, "It's good to get a divorce. This old man is being bullied by his wife all day long. His own daughter doesn't even have a place to stand at home. He should have divorced long ago."
Aunt Sun chimed in, "It was originally fine for Jiajia and Yining to share a room, but Zhao Hong is so mean-spirited that she insisted Yining move out. Now she's even trying to snatch Yining's betrothal gift. No wonder Yining is angry."
"It's such a sin, but what will happen to Yiyang if we get divorced? He's still so young."
Aunt Sun disagreed, "They quarrel all day long. It would be better for Yi Yang to grow up in such an environment than for Lao Jiang to raise Yi Yang alone. After all, Lao Jiang owns a breakfast shop."
"And I heard someone say that Yining and her husband were seen outside the residential complex a few days ago. The car her husband was driving seemed to be called something like "Lu..."
Aunt Sun’s husband said, “That’s called a Range Rover. If you don’t know anything about cars, don’t talk nonsense.”
Aunt Sun glared at him and said, "You're the only one who understands."
"Anyway, I heard him say that this car is not cheap. If Lao Jiang gets divorced, and Yining is such a kind child, how could she possibly watch her father suffer?"
The neighbor next door said, "Not necessarily. I don't think Yining and Yiyang are close."
Zhao Jiajia went upstairs and first heard a group of uncles and aunts chattering, and then she heard her mother crying.
She opened the door and rolled her eyes at them before closing it.
Aunt Sun stopped eating melon seeds and said to everyone, "Oh, Jia Jia is angry, let's all go home."
