Chapter 157 Ruan Liuzheng: Please treat my child as fairly as possible
Zeng Shuwan was extremely satisfied with Fu Yanci and the others.
As for why Fu Jingcheng called them "brothers and sisters" instead of "uncle and aunt", it was entirely for her disappointing son Xie Qingcen.
Although according to reason, Fu Yanci should call him uncle due to his age, but Fu Jingcheng is now Xie Qingcen's stepson, so... Fu Yanci can only put up with it for the time being.
This generation relationship must not be messed up.
The Xie family is a large family that pays the most attention to family rules. Even in recent years, due to the management of Mr. Xie Zhenting and Xie Qingcen, the family rules have relaxed the constraints on the Xie family.
But after all, it was there, and Zeng Shuwan could still prioritize some things.
Fu Zhiqing is young, and according to the thoughts of those young girls today, she should be happy to be called "sister".
Zeng Shuwan didn't take this matter to heart any longer.
Yes, as early as a few days ago when Xie Qingcen announced Ruan Liuzheng's identity in a high-profile manner at Hanfei's banquet, Zeng Shuwan had already sent people to investigate Ruan Liuzheng's background.
Although she was just a wealthy lady who never left her house throughout her life, she was the former wife of the head of the Xie family and still had some power in her hands.
It is easy to investigate a little woman, and since Xie Qingcen has introduced Ruan Liuzheng in front of all the people in the circle and the media, he will not stop her from conducting a secret investigation.
So it was easy for Zeng Shuwan to know Ruan Liuzheng's past.
However, Zeng Shuwan, whose entire attention was focused on Fu Jingcheng, did not notice how ugly the faces of the brother and sister in front of her looked the moment she finished speaking.
How gloomy their eyes were when they looked at Fu Jingcheng.
Even though they concealed it very well, Fu Jingcheng still easily discovered the traces.
He curled his lips slightly, his big eyes like black grapes flickered slightly, and a plan to deal with the situation immediately came up with his mind.
But before he could say anything, Xie Qingcen and Ruan Liuzheng walked slowly to the sofa.
Xie Qingcen bowed slightly, his attitude was unprecedentedly respectful and submissive. He opened his mouth and said, "Mom, I brought your daughter-in-law to see you."
He held Ruan Liuzheng's wrist tightly, and would never allow Ruan Liuzheng to have the thought of quitting the dormitory halfway.
A hint of plum pink quickly appeared on Ruan Liuzheng's cheeks. She struggled hard with her palms, but Xie Qingcen seemed to have anticipated it and did not give her any chance to pull her hands back.
Her brows were slightly furrowed, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across her cold eyes.
But when she thought that this was her first visit, it would be a bad idea to go against Xie Qingcen too much. Ruan Liuzheng pursed her lips, lowered her eyebrows, and just let Xie Qingcen go.
Seeing that she was no longer struggling, Xie Qingcen raised the corners of his thin lips in a slight arc. He gently lifted his eyelids, and his dark phoenix eyes stared at Zeng Shuwan on the sofa quietly, but his posture did not change at all.
It was as if he wouldn't stand up unless Zeng Shuwan spoke.
Zeng Shuwan curled her lips slightly, and a hint of disgust flashed across her cloudy yet clear eyes.
Having been with her son for so many years, she could guess almost everything about Xie Qingcen from just one of his movements and eyes.
It's just that... seeing with her own eyes her unfeeling, noble and elegant son defending a woman in such a way, and in an attitude she had never seen before. For some reason, Zeng Shuwan felt a faint sense of indescribable jealousy in her heart.
After a long stalemate, she sighed softly, "Well, sit down. You make me look like a bad mother-in-law who is difficult to get along with."
Zeng Shuwan pretended to complain in displeasure, but her eyes kept sweeping towards Ruan Liuzheng intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing the calmness and indifference in Ruan Liuzheng's eyes and eyebrows, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips and nodded imperceptibly.
Although it's a second marriage, but... I have to say that this boy in her family has good taste.
Although she came from a humble background, she had such demeanor, and was in no way inferior to those self-proclaimed noble ladies from wealthy families.
and…
Zeng Shuwan raised her eyes and looked quietly into Ruan Liuzheng's eyes. The curve of her lips gradually deepened, and she felt more and more satisfied in her heart.
She smiled and said, "You are Liu Zheng, right? It's all the fault of that brat. He took you to get the marriage certificate without notifying you in advance. There were many steps that were overlooked. But don't worry, our Xie family values etiquette the most and will never look down on you."
“What other brides in Yuncheng have, our Xie family will make up for it little by little, and it will be better than those brides.”
Faced with Zeng Shuwan's sudden assurance, Ruan Liuzheng's eyes were slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
She sat upright next to Xie Qingcen, pursed her light pink lips unnaturally, her eyes clear without any change.
The greed that Zeng Shuwan had imagined did not appear either.
Seeing this, Zeng Shuwan's satisfaction increased again. She nodded to Xie Qingcen imperceptibly with an elegant smile at the corner of her lips.
Waiting quietly for Ruan Liuzheng's answer.
Ruan Liuzheng didn't let Zeng Shuwan wait too long. She raised her eyebrows and shook her head gently, "It's okay, Auntie. I'm marrying up to the Xie family. And I don't care about those empty formalities. As long as Xie Qingcen and I live a smooth life and love each other enough, that's enough."
After she finished speaking, she paused slightly, and her cold almond-shaped eyes fell on Fu Jingcheng in Zeng Shuwan's arms, but only for a moment.
She continued, "Also... I hope the Xie family can treat my child well. Even if I have the blood of the Xie family in the future, I hope you can treat my child as fairly as possible."
Perhaps for other mothers, in such situations, they would try their best to avoid discussing this topic with their children to avoid making their children feel uncomfortable.
However, Ruan Liuzheng would not do that. She wanted to make her position clear in front of Fu Jingcheng and give her son a sense of security.
Moreover, explaining it earlier can also avoid some misunderstandings that may occur in the future as much as possible, or if Fu Jingcheng is bullied in some corners that she cannot see, these are Fu Jingcheng's best weapons to resist unfair treatment.
This is what Ruan Liuzheng can do her best to fight for Fu Jingcheng.
After all, in a second marriage family, favoritism is inevitable.
But when Ruan Liuzheng heard what Zeng Shuwan said, those thoughts that she had deliberately suppressed in her heart began to resurface.
Even though Xie Qingcen had assured her again and again that he did have the ability to protect her and her son.
But what Ruan Liuzheng needs is a complete family, a complete family to make up for the love that Fu Jingcheng once lacked.
If possible, she hoped that the Xie family could love Fu Jingcheng as much as possible.
Let Fu Jingcheng walk out of the shadow of the Fu family.
Originally, when she learned about Xie Qingcen's identity, Ruan Liuzheng had given up the idea of negotiating terms with the Xie family, but Zeng Shuwan's attitude gave her hope again.
She felt that the Xie family was not the Fu family, and that what the Fu family could not do, the Xie family might be able to do.
She had no other requests, she just hoped that their love for Chengcheng would be simpler and fairer.
