Chapter 30 A Capable Son
Half a year ago, Yunjin's stepfather's younger brother Chen Gang took the initiative to invite Yunjin to dinner, saying that he had some work-related matters to consult Yunjin.
Yun Jin did not think much about the invitation from her elders. She went alone without even telling her mother.
When they arrived at the agreed restaurant, Yun Jin saw that in addition to Chen Gang and his wife, there was another family.
According to Chen Gang's introduction, Yun Jin found out that the family was the leader of Chen Gang's unit.
Not understanding what Chen Gang meant by this arrangement, Yun Jin could only sit down and listen quietly to the conversation.
The more Yun Jin listened, the more she felt something was wrong. It turned out that today's party was a blind date arranged for her by Chen Gang.
At that time, Yun Jin had already established a relationship with Zhao Yun, and she had absolutely no interest in the man who was introduced to her.
Yun Jin wanted to refuse immediately, but was interrupted several times by Chen Gang's wife Wang Fengying.
In the end, Wang Fengying even pulled Yunjin out with her on the pretext of going to the toilet.
Yunjin also wanted to hear what Wang Fengying had to say, so she didn't refuse to accompany her to the bathroom.
After leaving the private room, Wang Fengying told Yunjin the whole story.
It turned out that the son of Chen Gang's unit leader fell in love with Yun Jin at first sight at a party. He asked his parents to help Yun Jin become a boyfriend and girlfriend.
Upon learning that Yun Jin was the stepdaughter of Chen Gang's eldest brother, the leader asked Chen Gang to arrange the party on the condition that he would promote Chen Gang to section chief.
After hearing what Wang Fengying said, Yun Jin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She made it clear that she already had a boyfriend and she also looked down on the leader's son.
Seeing Yunjin was about to leave, Wang Fengying almost knelt down and repeatedly stated that even if Yunjin did not agree to this marriage, she would go back to finish the meal with the people inside.
Otherwise, Chen Gang would not be able to deliver his mission in front of his leader.
Taking into account the relationship between her stepfather and Chen Gang, and also not wanting to embarrass her mother, Yun Jin agreed to Wang Fengying's request against her will.
Who knew that her kindness at this moment almost brought disaster to herself.
After returning to the private room, Yun Jin drank a glass of wine after being persuaded by several people.
As soon as he finished drinking, Yun Jin felt something was wrong. While he was still conscious, Yun Jin sent a text message to Yang Qianqian for help and activated location sharing.
Fortunately, Yang Qianqian was having dinner with her colleagues nearby that night. When she received Yunjin's message, she hurried over with two male colleagues and intercepted Yunjin at the last second before he was transferred.
Afterwards, in order not to worry her mother, Yunjin did not tell anyone about this.
But Yun Jin's concession did not win gratitude from Chen Gang and his wife. After this incident, their attitude towards Yun Jin became even worse. Every time the family had a meal together, they would make innuendos about Yun Jin.
Yunjin's mother and stepfather were not aware of what had happened between the three of them. They thought that Chen Gang was fired from his unit and was resentful, so he took his anger out on others.
For this reason, Mom also advised Yunjin not to take Chen Gang and the others to heart.
Thinking that she had few opportunities to meet Chen Gang's family, Yun Jin did not refute her mother's suggestion.
Even so, this matter is still a thorn in Yunjin's heart. Thinking about meeting Chen Gang and his wife again tonight, Yunjin feels uncomfortable all over.
If tonight wasn't Old Lady Chen's birthday party, Yun Jin would never go.
Thinking of Chen Zhi and Chen Gang’s mother, the old lady of the Chen family, Yun Jin felt even more uncomfortable.
Back then, when my mother was taking Yunjin to marry Chen Zhi, Old Lady Chen made things difficult for her. She said that Yunjin was a burden and asked my mother to send Yunjin away before she agreed to let Chen Zhi marry her.
Fortunately, stepfather Chen Zhi was determined and did not listen to his mother. He resolutely married Yunjin's mother.
Because of this incident, Old Lady Chen always disliked Yun Jin and her daughter until Zhang Guilan gave birth to her son Chen Xiaotong, then Old Lady Chen's attitude towards her changed.
But even so, the other party's attitude towards Yun Jin was as bad as ever. In the final analysis, she felt that Chen Zhi had given Yun Jin too much money and suffered a loss.
How could Yunjin possibly want to go to a birthday party for a family like this? If her mother hadn't begged her over the phone, Yunjin would never go.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, thinking that the party place was a bit far from the company, Yun Jin asked Mu Lingfeng to leave early.
Although she didn't like Mrs. Chen, today was her birthday and she had to observe all the necessary etiquette. Yun Jin planned to go to a nearby shopping mall to buy her a gift.
The reason for leaving early was that she was worried that there would be traffic jams on the road after buying the gifts. Yunjin didn't want her mother to be scolded by her mother-in-law because of her lateness.
"Did something happen at home?" Mu Lingfeng couldn't help but ask when he heard Yun Jin was going to leave work early.
Early this morning, Mu Lingfeng felt that Yun Jin was a little absent-minded. Now he even asked to leave work early, so he had to ask.
"An elder in my family is having a birthday, and I want to go to the mall to prepare a gift for her." Yun Jin told the truth.
Recalling Yun Jin's answer on the phone before, Mu Lingfeng really wanted to ask her, if she didn't want to go, why did she force herself.
But Mu Lingfeng would never say such irrational words.
Staring at Yun Jin, Mu Lingfeng nodded slightly and said frankly: "This won't happen again."
Understanding what Mu Lingfeng meant, Yun Jin assured him, "Today's situation is special, and there will never be a next time."
After saying that, Yun Jin left Mu Lingfeng's office.
In the mall, Yun Jin took a look around and planned to buy a pair of gold bracelets for Old Mrs. Chen.
Old Mrs. Chen has always been vain, and wearing gold and silver just fits her personality perfectly.
After selecting the payment, Yunjin took a taxi to the location her mother had sent.
Holding the jewelry box that cost her thousands of dollars, Yun Jin felt unwilling. She had never bought such an expensive thing for her mother, so why should she buy it for that old witch?
Arriving outside the private room, Yun Jin calmed himself down before pushing the door open and walking in.
Seeing Yunjin coming in, Zhang Guilan immediately greeted her warmly, "Xiaojin, you're here."
As she spoke, Zhang Guilan winked at Yunjin.
Understanding what her mother meant, Yun Jin walked over to Old Lady Chen and said with a smile, "Grandma, happy birthday to you. This is a gift I prepared for you. I hope you like it."
Old Mrs. Chen was chatting with her youngest son, Chen Gang, and his wife. When she heard Yun Jin's words, she turned around and looked at Yun Jin, saying, "Come if you want, kid, why are you spending so much money?"
Having said that, Old Mrs. Chen reached out and took the box from Yun Jin's hand.
After opening the jewelry box, a smile immediately appeared on Mrs. Chen's face, and she hurriedly put on the gold bracelet inside.
Seeing Mrs. Chen's reaction, Wang Fengying snorted coldly: "Yun Jin has worked for so many years, and she only bought a broken bracelet like this. It's not even as good as what Zihao gave her."
Knowing that Wang Fengying was deliberately causing trouble, Yun Jin just smiled and said nothing more.
Seeing that Yunjin ignored her, Wang Fengying continued to talk to herself: "Yunjin, aren't you curious about what our Zihao gave you?"
"Zihao is definitely more capable than me. I can't afford the things he can give me." Yun Jin lowered his posture and said, not wanting to continue to entangle with Wang Fengying.
"Of course. Our Zihao joined Yongsheng Real Estate right after graduation. It is one of the best real estate companies in Binhai. He has only been there for two months, and his salary plus commission can earn 30,000. You can't compare with him."
Yunjin's words satisfied Wang Fengying's vanity, and she continued.
Hearing the name Yongsheng Real Estate, Yun Jin thought of Sun Min and asked, "Does Zihao work at Yongsheng?"
