Zhao Xuanran's car drove to the Zhao family villa.
The butler, who had been waiting for a long time, came to open the door for them: "Young master, young lady, you must be tired from your journey."
Yu Jianing smiled and nodded, her aura as a wealthy heiress returning! Having money in your pocket really makes a difference!
Perhaps it was because of her black hair that she wasn't so mean, otherwise she would have gotten slapped all over!
The three of them entered the villa.
The first wife was talking to Zhao Mingmeng when she saw the former and immediately came over:
"My baby's back! Mommy missed you so much!"
As she spoke, she hugged Xiao Ning tightly.
“Mom…” Jia Ning patted the woman’s back, while Zhao Mingmeng watched her from a short distance away.
He kept his left hand gripping the bracelet on his wrist, looking as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Xiao Ning glanced at her and politely waved: "Happy birthday!"
"Thank you!" Mingmeng pursed her lips. She hadn't brought a gift, and she glanced at her hand; this must be the one she had given her...
The first wife let go of Jia Ning, pulled her to sit on the sofa, and chatted about participating in the program.
During this time, Xiao Ning noticed that Ming Meng would often look at her strangely.
It seems like attachment? Or perhaps something is hidden?
Speaking of which, what is Yu Jianing's opinion of Zhao Mingmeng?
She seems both clever and not so clever? Seeing that she always has injuries, she probably isn't doing well in the Zhao family.
As for whether I feel sorry for them or feel sorry for them? I can only say that there must be something hateful about those who are pitiful.
She and Su Youbai were both bullies, but their fates were worlds apart.
In short, with money, Zhao Mingmeng goes unpunished, while without money, Su Youbai is stuck in jail!
...
The mother and daughter chatted for a few more minutes before the old man, Zhao Yuwen, the second wife, and Zhao Qianshen arrived.
"Our family's big star is back." Qian Shen walked up and said, suppressing the crazy lust in her eyes.
Xiao Ning glanced at him; the one walking with the old men must be the second wife's son.
But that look in his eyes...
"Second brother?" Jia Ning asked, her eyes filled with innocent confusion.
How could Qian Shen bear to face her idol like this?
His fists were clenched tightly, and his breathing quickened.
The old man coughed, unable to bear it any longer, and the first wife pulled Xiao Ning back, protecting her behind her.
"Does Zhao Qianshen have feelings for Ruoyao?"
Seeing the situation was getting out of hand, the second wife quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Xiao Shen, why are you just like your sister? You got so excited when you saw Yao Yao that you couldn't even speak."
Qian Shen realized that she had just lost her composure and quickly echoed:
"I was a little surprised to hear that Ruoyao is the big star Yu Jianing. When I saw her in person, I was a little taken aback. I apologize for my outburst earlier."
"I see..."
Everyone laughed it off, and the matter was dropped.
But nobody's a fool. Just now, his eyes looked like he wanted to strip Yu Jianing naked. Who would believe he didn't react?
They just didn't expose it because they were too proud to admit it!
...
The family sat down to eat in a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
The first wife had Xiao Ning sit between herself and the old man; as for who originally sat in that position…
It was honest man Zhao Yuwen! He was kicked out by his wife!
Yu Jianing naturally obeyed the arrangement. She seemed to glance unintentionally at the seat next to her original spot, where Zhao Qianshen was sitting...
"I thought he was some tough guy, but he's just a round-headed bum. I only glanced at him, and I couldn't help myself~"
System: "Xiao Ning, do you have some misunderstanding about how you acted so provocatively just now? Try it on your friends next time and see how they react when you look at her like that."
Xiao Ning: "There's absolutely no need for that!!!"
·
Outside the Zhao family villa.
A black sedan had been parked there for who knows how long.
Yan Wentao gazed at the brightly lit interior and silently smoked a cigarette.
Happy birthday, Xiaomeng!
He said it softly, his voice a little hoarse.
At this moment, he seemed to understand his adoptive father's feelings back then, a feeling that was like love but not quite love, yet impossible to get close to!
Let's wait a little longer...
Once I get everything back from my adoptive father, I'll come find you...
.
Yu Jianing ate her dinner in a strange manner, but no one paid much attention.
After all, when the family is having a meal together, being too restrained will only ruin the atmosphere.
"We're so happy today, let's raise a glass and wish Mingmeng a happy birthday!"
Zhao Qianshen raised his wine glass and spoke.
The others glanced at him and, out of courtesy, raised their glasses as well.
Since Xiao Ning had mentioned beforehand that she couldn't drink alcohol, the First Madam gave her a soft drink instead.
Although Qian Shen's expression changed slightly, she didn't say anything.
About half an hour later, the meal was finally finished.
Seeing that the night was quite nice, the First Madam took Xiao Ning to sit in the garden.
She seemed to have endless topics to talk about, and Jia Ning was always amused and kept laughing.
“Your dad was a real coward back then. He was so hesitant to even hold my hand. If I hadn’t taken the initiative, you might not be here now.”
"Really? You're such a coward? You have to take the initiative for things like this, Mom. Unbelievable."
Xiao Ning quickly stopped herself, almost blurting out some vulgar or offensive words.
But this first wife is really something, how could she talk to me about such things? She's only 19! So innocent!
System: "Xiao Ning... Is it possible that the First Madam was talking to you about their relationship, and you just had a bad idea and ended up in bed with her?"
The first wife didn't understand Xiao Ning's implied meaning and thought she was just complaining, so she took her hand and asked:
"Honey, do you have someone you like right now?"
"ah?"
"Look at the question I asked. There weren't any young boys your age on that show..."
The first wife suddenly clapped her hands, remembering the gossip about Yu Jianing and Su Youbai that she had read before. She hesitated for a moment before continuing:
"It's not that the young girl's mother can't accept it..."
"ah?"
Yu Jianing was filled with questions.
What was a serious topic just now has veered off to the Pacific Ocean?
And what's with your overly open-minded attitude? I'm really only 19!
"Alright, alright, Mom won't ask anymore. You can decide what to do."
The first wife spoke calmly.
Just when Xiao Ning thought the matter was over, the other party immediately launched a counterattack!
"Is it that little girl surnamed Bai? Or the young lady from the Song family?"
"Or maybe you flirted with the one who can't dance?"
"Mom! Don't ask anymore, I love them all! I want to give each of them a home!"
"How can that be!" The first wife was shocked by her daughter's words. It wasn't that she was conservative about 1v1, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to the appearance of the second wife.
She was worried about her daughter's health... She was so thin, like a telephone pole. What if something bad happened to her if she was neglected?
"???"
Yu Jianing opened her mouth slightly as she watched the First Madam scrutinize her from head to toe, frowning and pursing her lips. She felt numb.
Help needed: What should I do about my mother's overly bright lifestyle?
