"We're just strangers now. Please, as a married man, don't try to fool me with something as stupid as a marriage proposal. I'm not the same foolish Chen Jing I was a few years ago. To avoid any misunderstandings, could you please get out of here in front of my boyfriend?"
After Chen Jing finished speaking in one breath, she felt the pent-up frustration that had been building up inside her for over twenty years burst out of her chest, and she felt extremely relieved.
After hearing Chen Jing's words, Luo Yifan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Facing the astonished and surprised Zhu Zhizhou, Luo Yifan smiled, raised his hand, and threw the brocade box at Zhu Zhizhou.
"Ah Jing told you to get lost, didn't you hear me?"
Zhu Zhizhou hurriedly took the brocade box, wanting to say something to persuade Chen Jing to stay, but Xiao Tao and another bodyguard, who had already received Zhu Qianying's signal, stepped forward, lifted Zhu Zhizhou up, and quickly took him away from the restaurant.
Seeing that Zhu Zhizhou was being dragged away, Luo Yifan turned his gaze back and looked at Chen Jing with great concern.
“Ah Jing…”
Chen Jing smiled at him, "Brother Luo, don't worry. I've been foolish for twenty years, and in these last few decades, I'll try my best to be smarter. Just like Ying'er always says, cherish yourself and stay away from scumbags!"
Caught off guard, Luo Yifan burst out laughing at her teasing, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
"Ah Jing, Ying'er, you won't blame me for taking matters into my own hands, will you?"
Just now, Luo Yifan instinctively wanted to protect Chen Jing and Zhu Qianying. Now that he thinks about it, he realizes that, with Zhu Qianying's sharp tongue, he probably didn't need to step in.
Chen Jing shook her head, and Zhu Qianying took over the conversation.
"Uncle Luo, I don't blame you at all! You have no idea how safe I felt hiding behind you just now! Do you know how much I used to think, if only my dad could stand in front of me like this when I was being bullied!"
Luo Yifan stared at her for a while, then raised his hand and patted her head. "From now on, you can stand behind me whenever you want."
Zhu Qianying smiled at him, her eyes clearly glistening with tears.
"Uncle Luo, thank you!"
...
After lunch, Chen Jing accompanied Luo Yifan to check out of the hotel and then carried their luggage back to the apartment.
Zhu Qianying then took Zizai and Bai Xiaolu back to the apartment to tidy up.
"Mommy, was that fat and ugly old man just now Zizai's maternal grandfather?"
After getting into the car, Zizai finally asked the question he had been holding back for a long time.
Zhu Qianying knew that this matter could not be kept secret in the end. Now that Zizai had seen Zhu Zhizhou with his own eyes, there was no need for her to hide it any longer.
She picked up her son and let him sit on her lap, then the mother and son faced each other.
“Baby, you’re right. That fat and ugly old man is indeed Zizai’s maternal grandfather.”
Zizai immediately showed a disgusted expression as if he had swallowed a fly, covered his mouth with his hand, and stared at Zhu Qianying with wide eyes.
"However, he is only Zai Zai's maternal grandfather by blood. From a young age, he ignored his mother and aunt and treated his mother very badly. So, before Zai Zai was even born, his mother left him with his mother and aunt."
Zizai immediately looked tense, let go of her hand, and asked eagerly, "Did he hit his mother-in-law?"
Zhu Qianying could only shake her head at Zizai's intuitive understanding, "No, he won't hit him!"
"Did he hit Mommy and Auntie?" Zizai still looked worried.
Zhu Qianying shook her head again, "He didn't hit her! But he wanted to sell Mommy and Auntie to someone else as wives, and then get lots and lots of money!"
Zizai's eyes widened immediately, filled with terror!
After a long while, he finally let out a breath and said, "My God, that old man was terrifying!"
Zhu Qianying nodded, "Yes, he was too scary, that's why Grandma took Mommy and Auntie away from him!"
Zizai sighed again, "That's great! I don't want to call that ugly man grandpa! He's disgusting!"
Zizai is only five years old, yet he can accurately define Zhu Zhizhou's actions as disgusting. And Zhu Zhizhou himself can still shamelessly disgust Chen Jing and Zhu Qianying again and again. It can only be said that his integrity has long since lost all limits.
Zhu Qianying wasn't naive enough to think that Zhu Zhizhou had truly discovered how good his mother was, and therefore turned around and proposed to her.
Most of the time, he just wanted to coax his mother back to his side, and then use his mother to keep her and Xiaoyu in check.
Unfortunately, his wishful thinking was too grand, and he never expected that his mother was no longer the weak and cowardly person he used to be, who could be manipulated at will.
Furthermore, with Luo Yifan standing by her side now, Mom has become even more assertive in front of Zhu Zhizhou.
Zhu Qianying thought that the little guy would stop asking questions once he found out this much, so she secretly analyzed what had happened that day.
Suddenly, she heard Zizai ask her, "Mommy, were you sold to Daddy by that ugly man? Was Auntie also sold to Uncle by him?"
Zhu Qianying was startled, realizing that she had inadvertently dug a hole for herself.
She gathered her thoughts briefly before cautiously speaking to the little one.
“Of course not. Mommy and Auntie left him with Grandma before he sold us.”
For Zhu Qianying, in order to make her son grow up happily, she doesn't mind telling some white lies to deceive him.
Zizai had been looking at her nervously, but upon hearing her answer, he let out a sigh of relief and then grinned with a sweet smile.
"I knew it! Daddy is so good to Mommy, how could he possibly buy it?"
Zhu Qianying touched his face, "Yes, Daddy is really good to Mommy. He even gave 100 million to that ugly man before he was willing to release his mother, Mommy, and Auntie."
Zhu Qianying wasn't sure if the little guy had heard some rumors from elsewhere. To prevent him from overthinking things later, Zhu Qianying slightly improved the lie, making it actually about 60-70% consistent with reality.
"How wicked!"
The little guy drew a conclusion about Zhu Zhizhou, and then stopped talking about him. Instead, he climbed off Zhu Qianying and sat down to discuss Luo Yifan with Bai Xiaolu.
Children often have a clearer and more distinct understanding of good and evil than adults.
At this moment, Zizai considered Luo Yifan as his maternal grandfather, while his legitimate maternal grandfather, Zhu Zhizhou, was nothing more than an old, ugly, and disgusting man.
Zhu Qianying brought the two little ones back to the apartment. The two little ones were very diligent and helped her change the bed. After she finished, Zizai tilted his head and asked her a question.
"Mommy, why doesn't Grandpa Luo sleep with Grandma?"
