Chapter 135 The Frustrated Mrs. Lian
Yu Yin believed that as long as Ms. Li was alive, it would not be her turn to take care of the old house. She thought this was a good thing. Ms. Li had her own business to take care of outside and such a large family to take care of inside, so Ms. Li should not bother to take care of her.
Ms. Li has a strong desire for control, and Yu Yin feels that she cannot stand this kind of control. She is Zhao Shunian's mother, and this fact can never be changed. Their relationship is difficult to be harmonious, so everyone gets along with each other in a dull manner.
Yu Yin also noticed early on that Zhao Shunian was very controlling, but he knew how to respect other people's feelings and not force them.
In the reception room on the second floor, Yu Yin answered whatever Ms. Li asked him, without any need for any outstanding performance.
After discussing these things, the reception room became quiet. Ms. Li drank tea and wondered what topic to talk about. She and Yu Yin had nothing in common.
Yu Yin also took the opportunity to secretly glance at Ms. Li's expression while drinking tea. Did she want to say something else to her?
Ms. Li was also secretly looking at Yu Yin, her gaze vaguely falling on her belly. She sighed inwardly. There was a topic to talk about, but she couldn't say it. It was up to them.
Ms. Li and Yu Yin stared at each other, having nothing to say. Unable to hold it in any longer, they both said at the same time, "If..." Then they added in unison, "You go first..."
The two were silent for a moment, and then Ms. Li said, "Let's go down and sit down."
Yu Yin nodded hurriedly.
Mrs. Lian and Zhao Yunxin came to the East Building, but did not see Ms. Li and Yu Yin. They only saw Ms. Jian educating Zhao Xiyan, saying that she made excuses to come back early, not for work, but for her own happiness.
Zhao Xiyan said that she was a little tired after the Qingming Festival and needed to take two days off to rest.
Mrs. Lian said, "Xiyan is still young, and it's normal for young girls to like to play. Yvonne is the same."
Ms. Jian originally wanted to refute Mrs. Lian, but then she thought about it and realized that she finally got the chance to fight back against Mrs. Lian. She had ridiculed her so many times, and she would have to pay for her actions.
Ms. Jian pretended to agree and said, "That's right, Miss Lian, you're right. Dad didn't ask you to go to Yangcheng, but asked Aunt Zhou to accompany him. He must have thought that you were young and would be impatient to go there and meet so many relatives, so he let you stay at home in peace and quiet."
Ms. Jian and the others don't call their father's lover "Second Mother" or "Third Mother". They call her Mrs. Zhou or Aunt Zhou because she is old and knows her own worth. She can't cause any trouble. She has ambitions but won't do anything wrong, so everyone gives her some face.
Mrs. Lian was younger than them, and they didn't like her, so they always called her Miss Lian, and this name hasn't changed for more than 20 years.
Mrs. Lian felt that Ms. Jane was ungrateful, so she took the initiative to slow down her attitude and did not want to argue, but Ms. Jane insisted on provoking a dispute.
Now Mrs. Lian's position in Zhao Xinzhi's family is not as high as before. In this family, Zhao Xinzhi doesn't need to look at anyone's face. If he dislikes someone, he will just ignore him.
This time when Zhao Xinzhi went to Yangcheng, he had no intention of letting the third wife go, which completely embarrassed Mrs. Lian. Mrs. Lian was slow to realize that she had annoyed Zhao Xinzhi.
She felt that Zhao Xinzhi was extremely deep-minded and heartless, and could turn against someone without any warning. She could never see through him.
When Mrs. Lian first realized that she had made a wrong move, she had already upset Zhao Xinzhi more than once, but she did not change, nor did she think it was a big problem. She mistakenly thought that Zhao Xinzhi wanted everyone to know that the "everyone" in the trust he changed included her.
At the tennis court, Mrs. Lian introduced her niece and deliberately delayed time to prevent Zhao Shunian from leaving. How could Zhao Xinzhi, who has been in the love field for many years and has never failed, not know what Mrs. Lian was planning?
Zhao Shunian also knew that with so many beautiful women flying around him over the years, he was already accustomed to all kinds of tactics, and even his wife and Lian Ke'er could not escape his sharp eyes.
Zhao Xinzhi didn't tell the truth because he wanted Yu Yin to discover it himself and deal with it himself.
They have been grandfather and grandson for so many years, and they have a tacit understanding with each other. Zhao Shunian guessed what Zhao Xinzhi was planning. Zhao Xinzhi wanted to test Yu Yin's quality, so of course he would not stop him. He wanted to let Zhao Xinzhi know that his choice was right.
Yu Yin didn't know what they were doing behind the scenes, but when she saw that Mrs. Lian was plotting against her, how could she swallow her anger and watch them succeed?
If she said it herself and drove Lian Ke'er away, all kinds of accusations would fall on her head, and she didn't want that. There were so many elders in the Zhao family weighing on her head, and her words didn't carry enough weight.
The charity dinner was such a good opportunity, and Lian Ke'er came to her door again. Lian Ke'er heard the voices of Mrs. Lian and others, but Yu Yin's hearing was not that much worse than hers, and she did not hear anything they said.
Yu Yin used a lot of skill to muddy the waters, and in the end it was Zhao Yunbin who became her butcher and put an end to the matter.
Just because Zhao Xinzhi didn't make any obvious statement doesn't mean he doesn't care about this matter.
In Zhao Xinzhi's worldview, he has no objection to Zhao Shunian wanting to have an extramarital affair, because that's how he came from, but his lover cannot covet his heir and send his niece to Zhao Shunian.
He felt that Mrs. Lian's intelligence and vision could not support her ambition, and that her cleverness had backfired, which made her look foolish. He harshly called Mrs. Lian a "mama-san" for her behavior, and she was the kind of person who had no sense and poor performance.
Mrs. Lian was very cunning and bribed Secretary Liu to find out about Zhao Xinzhi. Secretary Liu seemed to be in a very close position to him, but he could not find out anything.
Zhao Xinzhi has been playing with people's hearts all his life. Secretary Liu was just a smokescreen. He didn't expect that it would be Mrs. Lian who bumped into him and wasted his smokescreen.
Secretary Liu became a useless pawn and was soon fired. Mrs. Lian was completely at a loss with Zhao Xinzhi, making one wrong move after another. Zhao Xinzhi became increasingly annoyed with her.
Until now, Zhao Xinzhi has not given Mrs. Lian any face at all.
Today, Mrs. Lian came to the East Building just to find out why Mrs. Zhou and Zhao Xinzhi had not returned yet and how long they would stay in Yangcheng.
Otherwise, Mrs. Lian would not have softened her attitude towards Ms. Jane, but Ms. Jane would not let bygones be bygones just because of her good mood. Ms. Jane would take advantage of the situation.
Ms. Li and Yu Yin took the elevator downstairs and met Zhao Yunbin, who had gone out for something.
The elevator door opened, and they had only taken a few steps when they saw the two men arguing with each other.
Zhao Jinian's presence has hindered Ms. Jian a lot and affected her performance. Even the wife couldn't compete with her, so she used Zhao Jinian to attack her.
Zhao Yunbin didn't like them coming to the East Building. Every time they came, it was as lively as a street market, but he didn't interfere in women's affairs. What's more, one was his brother's wife and the other was his father's lover. Unless it touched his sore spot, he would ignore it.
Zhao Yunbin left without saying a word.
Zhao Yunxin saw Zhao Yunbin leaving, and she hinted to Mrs. Lian, who also saw it when she turned around.
Ms. Li said aloud, "Well, you've only been back for a short time, and you're already making a big scene."
Yu Yin and Zhao Xiyan sat together, looking at each other, communicating with each other through eye contact.
