“…I didn’t want to trouble you,” Jiang Tingzhou explained.
"What am I worried about? If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have known that Xiao Yinlan and An Yunya could go this far. I always thought they were nice people."
Lingya said that, but her expression didn't show that much anger.
In her opinion, Xiao Yinlan, her friend, wasn't that important to her.
"I never expected them to go to such lengths for a marriage alliance."
Jiang Tingzhou was also surprised.
I never expected An Yunya to cut her own face with a knife.
“When I went to that auction, several people spoke ill of Wanwan. I taught one of them a lesson, and now no one dares to say anything bad about her,” Ling Ya added. “If anyone dares to say anything again, I’ll catch them and beat them up!”
Jiang Tingzhou smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom."
While the two were discussing this matter, the nanny, Wang Yu, had already brought the food to the table.
Lingya called Sensen and Xu Wan to have dinner.
Sen Sen pulled Xu Wan out, insisting that Xu Wan sit next to her, "I want to sit next to Teacher Xu!"
Looking at Jiang Tingzhou's sullen face, Xu Wan patted Xiao Sensen's head and said with a smile, "I can sit next to you, but you have to call me sister-in-law from now on."
"..."
Sen Sen looked at Jiang Tingzhou with a disgruntled expression.
Xu Wan then asked, "Is that okay?"
Sen Sen's face clearly showed her displeasure, but she still nodded reluctantly.
After the four of them sat down, Ling Ya first put the fattest piece of fish into Xu Wan's bowl, saying, "Come on, eat fish."
"Thank you," Xu Wan said.
Little Sen Sen followed suit, using her own chopsticks to pick up a piece of pork rib and put it in Xu Wan's bowl. "My chopsticks haven't been used yet, they're new!"
"Thank you, Sen Sen."
Xu Wan thanked them sincerely.
The group didn't talk much during the meal. When they were almost finished, Ling Ya asked Xu Wan, "Wanwan, when is your father-in-law getting out of prison?"
Ling Ya used a very clever word. Xu Wan took a few seconds to realize that she was asking about her mother.
"She... will be released from prison next month."
Xu Wan was still a little nervous when she answered.
She had never formally discussed her mother's situation with Lingya. After all, her mother was in prison, and she was afraid that even if Lingya appeared indifferent, she would still harbor some resentment.
But the next second, Lingya's face lit up with joy. "You'll be released from prison next month? That's wonderful! Remember to let me know when you get out, and I'll bring some gifts to visit you and talk to you about the wedding."
"..."
Xu Wan was taken aback by Ling Ya's attitude.
Lingya didn't think anything of it. "Why are you looking at me like that? Even though you and my son are married, the proper formalities still need to be observed. When you hold your wedding, I will do it to the highest standard. Don't worry, I won't let you have any regrets."
"Mom...you and Tingzhou have both been very good to me, I don't feel wronged."
Xu Wan's eyes were already a little red when she spoke.
She once again marveled at her own virtues, wondering what she had done to deserve marrying Jiang Tingzhou and having such a wonderful husband and mother-in-law.
Just then, a wronged voice came from the side, "What about me? Haven't I been good to you?"
One sentence turned Xu Wan's tears into laughter.
She stroked Xiao Sensen's round head: "You're very good to me too."
Just as the family was enjoying a happy time together, Jiang Tingzhou's cell phone, which was on the dining table, rang.
The man glanced at the number on the screen and quickly hung up.
Xu Wan didn't think anything of it, but Ling Ya was the first to get upset and questioned, "Whose phone call can't be answered in person and has to be hung up?"
Jiang Tingzhou didn't hide it, "It's An Yunya's."
Lingya's temper flared up immediately. "Why haven't you blocked her yet? Give me your phone, I'll block her for you, on WeChat and by phone. Don't contact her again!"
"Mom, the Jiang family and the An family are also cooperating..."
Jiang Tingzhou expressed his concerns.
This collaboration was mainly handled by Jiang Detian and An Zheng, with Jiang Tingzhou not being involved much.
"Once we've established a partnership, have him call your work number!"
Ling Ya picked up Jiang Tingzhou's phone, intending to let him unlock it so she could block him herself...
Another call came in.
It's still An Yunya.
Lingya answered the phone without hesitation.
Soon, An Yunya's voice came from the other end of the phone, "This is An Yunya. I'm glad you answered my call. I have something to say to you."
