When they came to pick up Zhang Meixiang, she was already impatient, and got in the car as soon as Zirui got off. Chen Feng was fine, but Jiang Jing felt a little guilty about her mother-in-law, and Zhang Meixiang gave her a shot of cardiotonic as soon as she got in the car.
"Drive over quickly, Jingjing, don't worry, mom is here." Zhang Meixiang knew in her heart that this daughter-in-law was indeed a rare good daughter-in-law, otherwise Liu Lu would not have introduced her. She was basically very filial when she came into the family, and she had a good relationship with Chen Feng. She had a decent job and her family was rich. The shortcomings of parents should not be blamed on their children. She thought she could
Chen Yun winked at Liu Qiao, and Liu Qiao understood that Chen Yun wanted him to express his stance. After all, he was very powerful and people would be more restrained when they saw him.
Liu Qiao knew what she meant, so he said to Zhang Meixiang, "Mom, just call me if you have anything."
"Well, don't worry." In Zhang Meixiang's eyes, she felt that this kind of thing didn't require her son-in-law's help at all.
Jiang Jing lives in a riverside villa in Jiangcheng, which is very elegant. Jiang Jing parked the car and started to take out the keys. Chen Yun and the others followed behind. As soon as they went upstairs, they heard a woman shouting "Help."
"Mom," Jiang Jing rushed over quickly.
Jiang Jing's mother had her hair disheveled and her body looked unsightly, so men like Liu Qiao and Chen Feng quickly avoided her.
Zhang Meixiang yelled in shock: "What are you doing?"
Father Jiang stopped when he saw that it was Zhang Meixiang. Zhang Meixiang covered herself with the quilt on the bed and sighed, "My dear relatives, I'm begging you. Please don't do this for Jingjing."
Mother Jiang just shed tears but said nothing. Father Jiang resumed his usual intellectual demeanor. He said to Chen Yun and Zhang Meixiang, "My family affairs are really a joke to you."
Zhang Meixiang didn't buy it. She yelled, "What kind of family affairs are these? Why do you have to hit people? You are really not a decent person. I was wondering why your Jingjing is such a pretty and well-educated girl, but she still has such low self-esteem. Now it seems that it's all your fault."
Jiang Jing was also tired, and sat dazedly beside her mother, with half of her mother's face showing.
"Mother-in-law, please come home with me first." Zhang Meixiang said.
Mother Jiang whispered, "No need, I'll just stay at home. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you today."
"Excuse me, you are cheating your daughter, not me. She has to answer your call while at work and come back home, and the same goes for relatives. How can Jingjing work like this? Fortunately, she is not pregnant yet. What if she gets pregnant?" Zhang Meixiang said loudly.
Her voice was as loud as a bell, and the people outside could hear it clearly. Liu Qiao stopped Chen Feng who was about to go in and whispered, "In troubled times, severe punishments are needed."
Seeing her mother like this, Jiang Jing also said to her mother-in-law: "Let me help my mother put on her clothes."
Zhang Meixiang pulled Jiang's father out forcefully. Jiang's father was usually very gentle, but once he calmed down, he was completely different from the man who had just beaten someone up.
He kept silent, but Zhang Meixiang didn't let him go: "Father-in-law, when did you start to have this problem?"
"We are just having a quarrel and a fight between husband and wife. You don't need to interfere." Father Jiang said calmly.
He thought that Zhang Meixiang had no idea how awful Jiang's mother was. She was afraid of important tasks and often acted bossy and even had an ambiguous relationship with her cousin. How could he tell his in-laws about this?
Zhang Meixiang said, "No matter what, hitting someone is wrong. You are all so old, if you can live together, then live together, if you can't, then don't bother. I don't mind my daughter-in-law having divorced parents, but if you keep doing this, something bad will happen to you sooner or later."
At first they were beaten. They are all in their 50s and 60s. How can they bear the torture? What if they are beaten to death?
She herself was horrified when she saw the injuries on Jiang's mother's body.
Father Jiang was very polite to the people outside, especially since there were two strong men, Chen Feng and Liu Qiao, guarding outside, so he didn't dare to do anything. Jiang Jing went to their house and drove the other car, while the men drove the car they just drove back. Chen Yun and Zhang Meixiang were on each side, and Mother Jiang sat in the middle.
She was still very reluctant, but now that she was in the car, she knew that one had to bow down under someone's roof, so she smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Her lips hurt when she smiled, so Zhang Meixiang quickly said, "What's so funny about that? Hey, you are all well-known figures in society, so why are you still so feudal? Can't a woman live without a man?"
Jiang's mother said embarrassedly: "At our age, why are we still talking about divorce..."
"Even if you don't get divorced, you can't always be beaten by Jingjing's father, right? Jingjing is your only girl, and now she's married, so there's nothing to worry about. If I were you, I would just travel every day." Zhang Meixiang really thought so. The Jiang family's publishing house is their own business, and Jiang's mother is very rich, so why should she be beaten at home every day?
Mother Jiang smiled but said nothing, but Zhang Meixiang knew that since she had followed her here, she would definitely be able to change her mindset.
In the evening, the group came back very tired, and Liu Qiao fell asleep immediately. Chen Yun pushed him and said, "Why don't you get up and take a shower? You smell like alcohol, not your usual fragrance."
Liu Qiao was confused, Chen Yun dragged him into the bathroom, he hugged Chen Yun: "Wife, you help me wash." Before Chen Yun could say anything, he took off his clothes, which really made her unable to bear it. His strong body deliberately pressed against Chen Yun, she couldn't hide, especially when this man came over to cover her mouth...
The room was in chaos, and then the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
When they woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky. Chen Yun heard her mother knocking on the door and asking them to go downstairs for dinner. She answered and dragged her husband up, "Husband, get up..."
Liu Qiao didn't move at all, so Chen Yun had to get up by herself. When she went downstairs to the living room, Zi Rui was already sitting there. She was the last one to arrive, and seeing the ambiguous looks everyone gave her, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Today, Jiang's mother also sat on a chair to eat. The corners of her eyes were covered with gauze. She was quite a person. When she saw Chen Yun, she immediately stood up and said, "Come, sit here."
Chen Yun said, "You are the elder and should sit here. Leave me alone."
She asked again, "Where's your husband?"
Chen Yun said bluntly: "You are still resting, let us eat first, Auntie, you can drink the porridge first."
They were halfway through drinking when they saw Liu Qiao coming down. Chen Yun smiled at him, and Liu Qiao apologized to his parents-in-law: "Mom and Dad, I got up late."
Chen Sipeng didn't care at all. Zhang Meixiang even said, "I'll go with you to get the pancakes. Yunyun said you like that kind of pancakes." She really wanted to see her son-in-law and daughter being so loving!
Liu Qiao sat next to Chen Yun, and Chen Yun naturally picked up food for him. The two of them didn't show off their affection, but it had always been like this. He loved her very much, and would take her out for a walk after breakfast. Zhang Meixiang looked at their backs and said to Jiang's mother, "Look, this is what a couple should be like... To be honest, I envy Yunyun. At that time, she was in her twenties and we adults were very anxious at home. Liu Qiao's conditions were so good. To be honest, I was also worried when she married him!"
Jiang's mother could understand what she said. Liu Qiao's father was once a famous figure in Jiangcheng. Liu Qiao himself was also very outstanding. He was already a military officer outside and once served as an official in Beijing. To be honest, Chen Yun's conditions were still a little worse than their Jingjing's. She had a low education and was not very stunning, so she could understand Zhang Meixiang's feelings.
"It's because you, my mother-in-law, have taught Xiao Feng very well, otherwise I would be worried about his appearance." Mother Jiang brought the topic back to Chen Feng.
Zhang Meixiang saw that she was a person who was good at speaking and had a clear mind, and wondered why she would be willing to be beaten by Jingjing's father. Perhaps Zhang Meixiang's expression was too obvious, and Jiang's mother lowered her head and walked into the house.
She and Jiang's father were in a free love relationship, but Jiang's father was a double-faced person. Without her, this publishing house would never have been able to operate like it is now. Due to their different business philosophies, the two quarreled for a long time. She had very strong social skills and could basically become familiar with anyone she knew after just a few words.
As the saying goes, if you walk along the road often, you will get your shoes wet. Some things may not be physical cheating, but they are definitely mental cheating. She is not in a position to tell outsiders about such things, and Jingjing doesn't know much about it either.
Now that the publishing business has stabilized, they are not so busy anymore, so whenever her husband thinks of this and wants to beat her, her first reaction is that she is afraid that he will tell everyone and ruin her reputation. Now everyone sympathizes with her and she feels bad.
There is no love between husband and wife, only pure family affection. The husband cannot let it go. There are too many things between them before, and divorce is not realistic. Jiang's father is just unwilling to give up, not really not living with her anymore.

People were hurrying outside, most of them going to work. Only the elderly were practicing Tai Chi in the park, and some were pushing their parents in wheelchairs out to bask in the sun.
Liu Qiao and Chen Yun held hands, the wind blew her hair, and Liu Qiao told her about today's plan: "Let's go to my sister's house today. My sister called me this morning."
"No wonder you were able to wake up. Let's go there after we get back. My mom said there is another car in the garage, so let's drive that one." Chen Yun discussed with her.
Liu Qiao suddenly squatted in front of her and said, "Let me carry you back. Didn't you say you couldn't stand it yesterday? You even said your legs were weak this morning."
Chen Yun was so embarrassed that she got angry: "Why do you keep saying everything outside? I don't want you to carry me on your back. Otherwise, people outside will see us and say that we are too old to learn the tricks of young people."
"Why do you care about other people? Come on up. My back is wide enough. I guarantee you will be comfortable on my back." Liu Qiao lured her up.
Chen Yun was a little moved, but was afraid that she was too heavy, so she just said, "I am too heavy."
Liu Qiao simply covered her with his backhand, straightened up, and said nonchalantly: "What's so heavy about that? You're lighter than a cotton candy."
