The next day, Zhu Qianying was driven to her rented apartment in the suburbs.
She hadn't mentioned to Chen Jing that she was coming back beforehand, so when she opened the door with her key but couldn't find anyone, she was slightly startled.
I took out the phone and dialed. The phone rang in the living room. It was my mom's phone, which was carelessly tossed on the sofa.
For a fleeting moment, she even thought that her mother had been tricked away by her scumbag father!
Zhu Qianying felt increasingly uneasy and quickly dialed Brother Wang's number.
"Sister Jing is taking a walk in the small garden."
Zhu Qianying breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Brother Wang said on the other end of the phone.
Zhu Qianying found Chen Jing in the small garden, took her hand, and strolled slowly along the garden path. "Mom, I'll stay here with you tonight."
"Aren't you going to keep Young Master Yan company?"
The mother and daughter still haven't changed their way of addressing each other, and Young Master Yan seems to have gotten used to it too, never expressing any objection. It was Old Madam Yan who brought it up a few times, but all the parties involved got used to it, and later, even Old Madam Yan stopped mentioning it, probably because she had gotten used to it.
“He’s out on business. Besides, even if he were home, it wouldn’t be a problem for me to come back and spend a night or two with you. I’m just marrying him, not selling myself to him as a slave.”
As Zhu Qianying spoke, a faint blush of shyness rose on her face.
Chen Jing looked at her, smiling without saying a word.
"Mom, we have some money now, why don't we buy an apartment?"
Zhu Qianying thought about it all night. Since she didn't plan to have her mother live in another province for the time being, she thought she might as well look for a suitable three-bedroom apartment near the Yan family's place. That way, it would be more convenient for her and her mother to visit each other in the future.
Chen Jing thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. We can't let Xiaoyu get married in a rented hotel in the future."
Chen Jing herself doesn't really care where she lives, as long as she can see her two daughters.
However, living in a rented house long-term is indeed not very convenient.
"I'll go online and check it out later."
After taking a walk in the small garden, Zhu Qianying accompanied Chen Jing to the supermarket and bought a lot of food and supplies.
In the evening, the mother and daughter sat on the sofa, one watching TV and the other browsing house listings on her laptop.
Zhu Qianying looked at the photos very carefully and wrote down the property management contact number and main information of the apartment in her notebook. As a result, she was completely unaware that her mother had been absent-minded ever since she came out of the shower.
"Ying'er..." Chen Jing used the remote to mute the TV.
Zhu Qianying was writing down information about an apartment when she heard her mother call her. Without looking up, she replied, "Hmm?"
"Your dad..." she stammered out two words, and Zhu Qianying immediately looked up at her as if she had seen a ghost.
Before her daughter could explode, Chen Jing finished speaking, "He just called me..."
Zhu Qianying looked unfriendly and wary, and asked fiercely, "Why did he call you? To persuade you to go back?"
Chen Jing quickly reached out and patted the back of her hand to comfort her, "No, no, don't worry, even if he tells me something now, I won't believe him! I've been blind for twenty-two years, and I've finally seen reality clearly, why would I believe his nonsense!"
After receiving reassurance and reassurance from Chen Jing, Zhu Qianying slowly retracted the thorns she had raised.
"What did he say to you?" Zhu Qianying asked irritably.
"He asked me to ask you if you could lend him your 100 million first..."
"I won't lend it!" Zhu Qianying said angrily before Chen Jing could finish speaking.
"He's dreaming. He tricked you into marrying him without spending a penny, and even made you his and his wives' free cook for 21 years. He got me and Xiaoyu out of the house, never fulfilled any of his responsibilities as a father, yet he got a hundred million in dowry for nothing. He's not satisfied with that, and now he wants to swindle me out of my hundred million too. Does he think we're idiots?"
Chen Jing felt sorry for her daughter, whose hands were trembling with anger. She reached out and patted her back, saying...
"Yes, I've already rejected him! I even told him, 'Anyway, you have so many daughters, you can easily make another 200 million by marrying any of them, why are you still clinging to my family's shadow!'"
Zhu Qianying was initially quite angry, but upon hearing her mother's next sentence, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She turned her head and looked Chen Jing up and down seriously. "Well done, Mom! When did you become so sharp-tongued? Wow, you've got some nerve!"
Chen Jing smiled sheepishly, "Ying'er, right now, you and Xiaoyu are the most important people to me. If anyone dares to lay a finger on you, I'll fight them to the death! Sigh... If I had seen things more clearly earlier, I probably wouldn't have lived such a miserable life all these years, and you two would have suffered less..."
Now, Chen Jing's image as a kind and loving mother is becoming increasingly prominent.
"Sure enough, a child with a mother is a treasure!" Zhu Qianying buried her head in Chen Jing's shoulder and started to act coquettishly.
...
The next day, Zhu Qianying returned to the Yan family in the evening.
As soon as I entered, I saw Yan Shao sitting in the living room, holding a laptop and looking at something intently.
"Young Master Yan, when did you get back?" Zhu Qianying greeted him from afar.
"Just now!" Young Master Yan was still engrossed in his computer, presumably dealing with work-related matters.
“My mom specially made your favorite dishes. I already told Uncle Hai that he doesn’t need to prepare dinner for us.”
Zhu Qianying changed into slippers and carried two large bags of food into the living room.
Uncle Hai, who had been busy elsewhere, quickly came over and took the bag from her hands.
Yan Shao said "Oh" again. Seeing that he was really busy, Zhu Qianying didn't bother him anymore. She went upstairs, took a shower, and changed into clean home clothes before coming down.
At this moment, the servants had already served the dishes that Zhu Qianying had brought back on plates and put them on the table, while Yan Shao was already sitting at the table drinking soup.
Zhu Qianying pulled out a chair, sat down, picked up the bowl, finished the soup, and licked her lips.
"Young Master Yan, my mother is planning to buy a three-bedroom apartment nearby. Do you have any good recommendations?"
Zhu Qianying looked at a lot of building information on the website, but always felt that the prices were too high. Later, she saw that many of the listings listed "Yanhuang Group" as the developer, and then she suddenly remembered that her husband was the president of Yanhuang Group.
Maybe if I go home and talk to my husband, I can get a 50% discount?
The thought that she could save a lot of money because her husband was the CEO of Yanhuang made Zhu Qianying feel for the first time that having a rich and powerful husband like Young Master Yan seemed pretty good!
Yan Shao raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "Nearby?"
"Yes, my mom brings us food and drinks every day. We live nearby, so it's convenient for her, and it's also convenient for me to go back and visit her occasionally!"
Zhu Qianying is very clever. She knows that Young Master Yan is currently obsessed with his mother's cooking. She brings up this reason, and she's not worried that Young Master Yan won't help her.
Sure enough, Yan Shao immediately replied, "After dinner, I'll talk to Qin Xiu about the details of this property development; he knows the most about it."
Zhu Qianying silently gave herself a thumbs up and picked up her bowl to shovel rice into her mouth.
