Few people of Mrs. Xie’s age go online, but even though she can’t, she can still read the news in the newspaper.
The old lady became more and more puzzled and asked Zou Weijun:
"Isn't Xu Mei a good actress? Why are all the newspapers criticizing her? Some people are even saying they want to pull the show 'Lane Family' off the air. Have you asked Xie Qian about this?"
Except on weekends, Mrs. Xie rarely calls Xie Qian.
No matter how much you miss them, young people have their own study and life, and you can’t always disturb them.
Zou Weijun patiently explained to her mother-in-law, "Some reporters said Xu Mei was the third party who interfered in other people's marriages, that she cheated on her boyfriend and found a wealthy sponsor during her relationship, and that her character was seriously flawed. When viewers heard that Xu Mei was such a bad person, they called for a boycott of the TV series she starred in."
Nanny Xiaotian was anxious, "Really? I really like Xu Mei. She acted so well in "Lane Family"!"
Xiaotian works as a nanny and can't grasp the high-level sentiments of family and country. "Lane Family" is a family drama that suits Xiaotian's tastes perfectly. Xu Mei's role isn't particularly good, but it's a very realistic one. Society is so vast, and there are all kinds of people. Xiaotian interacts most with ordinary people, who rarely conceal their true natures. He's encountered all sorts of pushy, petty, and calculating individuals!
It is normal for a beautiful young actress like Xu Mei to play the role of a glamorous urban beauty in idol dramas, but it is so rare for her to be willing to play the role of an ordinary citizen in a serious drama about family life!
Zou Weijun smiled slightly: "I think it's fake. If Xu Mei is really like what the news said, Xie Qian's company will not sign her."
There's nothing wrong with being ambitious.
It is also normal to know how to manage your network of contacts.
In the entertainment industry, if Xu Mei had no ambition and no scheming, she would have been swallowed up long ago.
Let alone Xu Mei dating a young rich man, what's wrong with her finding a boyfriend who is over 60 years old? As long as the man is not married and the woman is not married, this kind of relationship is at most mutually beneficial and does not hurt anyone else!
Zou Weijun's words made Mrs. Xie and Xiaotian both breathe a sigh of relief.
Old Mrs. Xie complained that the reporter's writing was nonsense and slandered Xu Mei, which also affected "Lane People".
"These reporters are so weird. Are they deliberately trying to cause trouble for 'Longtang People'? Are they dissatisfied with its high ratings?"
Xiaotian's unintentional words made Mrs. Xie's eyebrows jump.
Who would deliberately cause trouble for "Lane People"?
To cause trouble for "Lane People" is to cause trouble for Xie Qian.
Could it be that bastard, the Third Brother—
The old lady looked up at the expression of her daughter-in-law Zou Weijun. Zou Weijun's brows were relaxed, and she didn't seem to associate it with this at all.
Old Mrs. Xie was both annoyed and bitter.
How could anyone not like Xie Qian?
As a son, Xie Qian is the "other people's child". He is excellent in everything he does. No matter in ancient times or modern times, this child can stand on his own in the family!
How could anyone not like Wei Jun!
As a wife, Wei Jun is so perfect that there is no fault to be found. She can take good care of her family at home and stand on her own outside. She is a rare and virtuous wife.
The third brother, that beast, left his wife and children behind and devoted all his heart to his mistress and illegitimate children abroad.
Ever since Xie Jinghu's cheating scandal was exposed, the old lady has been emphasizing that "the family cannot be broken up" while condemning Xie Jinghu.
Zou Weijun and Xie Qian did nothing wrong from the beginning to the end. Zou Weijun even quit his job in Chengdu and returned to Beijing. Such a compromise could not bring about Xie Jinghu's return to his right path... Whether the family is broken up or not, it never depends on what Zou Weijun and Xie Qian did, but on what Xie Jinghu did.
A heavy stone weighed on the old lady's heart. She suddenly asked Zou Weijun, "You're getting better and better at work. You mentioned stock trading a while ago. How's it going?"
"The stock market is doing well this year, and I've made some money. Do you need any money? I can give it to you—"
The old lady interrupted Zou Weijun and said, "I'm already this old, why do I need money? I didn't lend you that money. It's yours now. Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter whether you make a profit or a loss. As the old saying goes, if you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. Although our family is not short of money, it's really good for you to have the ability to make money on your own."
Most mothers-in-law do not want their daughters-in-law to be too outstanding and overshadow their sons, but Mrs. Xie does the opposite. Since Zou Weijun returned to Beijing, she has been urging and motivating Zou Weijun to make progress.
Nanny Xiaotian seemed to understand, but not quite, and Zou Weijun had a rough guess about the old lady's behavior.
In fact, the Xie family all knew that she would definitely divorce Xie Jinghu. Zou Weijun and Xie Yuping had already confirmed this matter, so there was no need to say more.
Now even Mrs. Xie, who was the most stubborn before, has gradually seen the situation clearly and knows that Xie Jinghu cannot be saved.
Although the old lady didn't mention the words "divorce allowed" all the time, she was already making her attitude clear by urging and motivating Zou Weijun to make progress.
When the day comes that Xie Jinghu and Zou Weijun's marriage really falls apart, if Zou Weijun is willing, the old lady can treat her daughter-in-law as her own daughter. Zou Weijun can stay in the Xie family with Xie Qian, and Xie Jinghu can go wherever he wants!
As perceptive as Zou Weijun was, he sensed her mother-in-law's intentions and said softly, "Even if you don't want me to pay you back, you can't stop me from honoring you, right? The city is developing so fast these days, and the air quality is getting worse every year. My mother is used to the nursing home on Qiong Island. If you're willing, you can stay there for two months a year."
Mrs. Xie patted Zou Weijun's hand and said, "You've really moved me. Don't worry, that day will come."
The old lady did not elaborate on when "that day" was.
Not now after all.
Now Mrs. Xie is too embarrassed to see her in-laws.
Old Mrs. Xie was worried, so she didn't directly question Xie Jinghu like she did before. Instead, she called her eldest son Xie Yuping late at night.
Even the nanny Oda didn't know what the old lady said on the phone.
The old lady was on the phone in the inner room. Xiao Tian stepped out and walked over to Zou Weijun and whispered, "Sister Zou, are you finally going to have a happy ending after all the hardship?"
Zou Weijun couldn't help but look at Xiaotian twice.
Being able to work as a nanny for the old lady for a few years means that even if you were an honest person before, you have become smart now.
"Xiaotian, do you think I'm suffering?"
Zou Weijun asked back, Xiaotian nodded first and then shook his head vigorously, "I'm sorry, Sister Zou, that's not what I meant, I, I can't explain it clearly..."
How can a little nanny have the right to sympathize with a rich lady?
Zou Weijun's suffering wasn't material. Xiaotian knew that money was essential to life, but happiness wasn't absolutely tied to it. Materially, Zou Weijun wasn't suffering, but in reality, these days were excruciating.
Oda lacks the ability to express himself clearly and is unable to explain his ideas.
Seeing Xiaotian's face flushed with anxiety, Zou Weijun chuckled: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. You're right, I also feel that the hardship is about to end and the good times are coming."
