Chapter 78 Threat
Seeing Jiang Wentao coming back with a gloomy face, Zhao Hong teased, "What? Why don't you stay at your good daughter's house for dinner before coming back?"
Seeing that Jiang Wentao was in a bad mood, Zhao Jiajia signaled Zhao Hong to stop talking.
She said to Jiang Wentao, "Dad, we haven't eaten yet. Mom said we should wait for you to come back before eating together."
After saying that, Zhao Jiajia pulled Zhao Hong up and went to the kitchen with her to serve the food.
In the kitchen, Zhao Jiajia whispered dissatisfiedly, "Mom, don't be so aggressive when talking to Dad in the future."
Zhao Hong glared at her and said, "You little bitch, I'm your real mother."
"I'm trying to persuade you because you're my biological mother. Now the house is under Dad's name, I've lost my job, and Yangyang is still so young. Do you still want a divorce?"
Zhao Hong had nothing to say. To be honest, she had been really scared since Jiang Wentao mentioned divorce last time.
Her ex-husband's family is not a good group of people. They used to abuse her.
It was difficult to get a divorce.
Jiang Wentao is an honest and hardworking man. She bought breakfast at his breakfast shop a long time ago when Du Ruo was still alive. Seeing how harmonious the couple was, Zhao Hong was really envious.
Who would have thought that Du Ruo was an unlucky and short-lived person. She was diagnosed with terminal cancer when she was only in her forties. It was also God who gave her the chance.
She put a lot of thought into following Jiang Wentao.
Knowing that Jiang Wentao felt sorry that Du Ruo only gave birth to a daughter, she risked giving birth at an advanced age and gave birth to Jiang Yiyang, thus holding Jiang Wentao firmly in her hands.
Zhao Hong also knew that she couldn't keep getting into trouble with Jiang Wentao, and she had to show weakness when it was time to do so.
She sighed, "Mom knows, just relax and find a new job, don't worry about the family."
"Yangyang is still young, and your father treats Yangyang like his sweetheart. He definitely doesn't want Yangyang to live in a single-parent family. Divorce is just a scare to scare me."
During the meal, seeing that Jiang Wentao's face was always livid, he knew that he had been offended by Jiang Yining.
Zhao Hong also knew what Jiang Wentao was thinking.
Now the house is under his name, and Jiang Yining is his biological daughter after all. He wants to have someone to rely on in the future, and also hopes that the family can live in harmony.
But isn’t this wishful thinking?
She understands Jiang Yining better than Jiang Wentao.
This little guy looks docile, but he is actually a stubborn person. His face has been torn apart, and it is impossible for Jiang Yining to care about this little bit of family affection anymore.
Last time, Jiang Yining brought a lawyer and called Du Ruo's family. Didn't he make his attitude clear?
Zhao Hong also figured it out. She had previously wanted to ask Jiang Wentao to persuade Jiang Yining to take better care of his younger brother in the future.
But now Jiang Yining doesn't even care about his own biological father, let alone Jiang Yiyang.
She just treated Jiang Yining as if he were dead, just like her short-lived mother, so out of sight, out of mind.
Zhao Hong advised Jiang Wentao in a gentle voice, "Wentao, let's live a good life from now on. Don't think that Jiang Yining will miss you as his father anymore."
Jiang Wentao thought Zhao Hong would take this opportunity to ridicule him.
Seeing that Zhao Hong was comforting him, Jiang Wentao's expression eased a little.
He looked at Jiang Yiyang and the sensible Zhao Jiajia and sighed, "Ningning may really not forgive us."
Zhao Hong snorted, "Why do I need her forgiveness? We haven't done anything to let her down."
"This house was originally yours, if not..."
In front of her children, Zhao Hong stopped talking in time. "She should transfer the property to you. She hasn't given a penny to the family in all these years. She's been collecting her salary non-stop. I haven't even seen her express any gratitude during the holidays."
"What else does she want?"
Jiang Wentao thought about what Zhao Hong said and felt that she was right.
He thought for a moment and said, "Ever since she got married, her attitude has become even tougher than before. I guess it's because He Chi is backing her up, and she's become more powerful."
Jiang Wentao shook his head and said, "Forget it. Just consider it as I raised this daughter for nothing."
He Chi?
Zhao Jiajia thought she had misheard. She asked in disbelief, "Dad, what did you say Jiang Yining's husband's name is? He Chi?"
Jiang Wentao was not happy when Zhao Jiajia called him "Jiang Yining's husband." He corrected her, "That's your brother-in-law."
Zhao Jiajia didn't care about all these things now. She took the phone from Jiang Yiyang and looked through the album for a long time before she found the photos that her colleague had taken secretly.
She showed the phone to Jiang Wentao, "Dad, is that him?"
Jiang Wentao leaned in closer to take a look. "Yes," he asked Zhao Jiajia, "How do you know him?"
Zhao Jiajia suddenly realized and said angrily, "He Chi is the general manager of our company. The entire company belongs to him."
She looked at Jiang Wentao and said, "Dad, Jiang Yining must have ruined my job. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been fired for making such a small mistake."
......
Jiang Yining received a strange call while lying on the bed chatting with Zhang Qiao. She saw that the caller ID showed Lincheng's number, so she answered it.
But she didn't say anything.
As soon as the call was connected, the person on the other end loudly questioned, "Jiang Yining, did you mess up Jiajia's job?"
Zhao Jiajia was fired?
He Chi acted quite quickly. Why didn't he tell her in advance?
Jiang Yining had just seen that she had been promoted to the next level. She was in a good mood and even hearing Zhao Hong's voice did not affect her mood at all.
She said leisurely, "Hey, Zhao Jiajia is unemployed? That's perfect, she can go work at my dad's breakfast shop."
"I just don't know if anyone is still willing to buy those leftover buns from you."
Zhao Hong now finally understood why Jiang Wentao returned home with a gloomy face.
She said angrily, "Don't be so complacent. You've made my daughter lose her job. I'm going to your school to complain on Monday. Even if I can't get any results, I'll stand at the school gate and tell the parents what a cruel person their child's teacher is."
Jiang Yining didn't take Zhao Hong's threat to heart, nor was she afraid. She said calmly, "Then go ahead."
"Anyway, I'm not short of money right now. Do you think I'd be afraid of losing my job?"
Zhao Hong knew that Zhao Jiajia’s job loss was related to her. Presumably, Zhao Hong and her daughter knew He Chi’s identity.
"If I lose my job, no matter which company Zhao Jiajia goes to, I will go to her company and let everyone know how disgusting she and her mother are."
She will get a new phone card tomorrow to avoid being bothered by these random people calling her.
He Chi had just come out of the shower and was halfway through listening. After Jiang Yining finished speaking, he took the phone and said, "I just want to say one thing: in the future, few companies in Lincheng will dare to hire her."
"You might as well try."
His voice was cold and oppressive, and he could feel it through the phone.
Zhao Hong knew that her daughter's previous company was very large and had heard a little about the strength of the He family in Lincheng.
She was really afraid that her daughter would never be able to find a good job in Lincheng in the future. When she saw the phone was hung up, she couldn't help but curse at home.
He Chi handed the phone to Jiang Yining.
Seeing He Chi's naked upper body, with faint and ambiguous scratches on his wheat-colored skin, the scene of that night emerged uncontrollably in his mind.
Jiang Yining blushed and looked away.
Seeing this, He Chi raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly.
He reached out and pinched her face, saying something as jerk as he could, "You've taken advantage of me, why do you still blush so easily?"
