Qiao Yanzhi knew her son very well; she could spot the ring at a glance. It was a ring Cheng'er had made for himself, and having worn it for a long time, he had grown attached to it and decided to give it as his future wife's first gift.
How did it end up in Tang Yaoyao's hands?
Qiao Yanzhi felt a jolt in her heart, a sudden dizziness, and a dull ache in her chest.
Chen'er's girlfriend, who was wearing Cheng'er's ring, should be Cheng'er's fiancée. The problem is, she was also Yi'er's girlfriend whom he had officially announced to the Huo family.
Three of her many sons were lured away by Tang Yaoyao, a single woman...
I felt tightness in my chest and shortness of breath. I reached out and pinched my aching temples, but I couldn't calm down for a while.
If it weren't for her consistently good manners, she would have been driven crazy by her sons.
"Mom, you don't look too well." Fu Xiuchen knew his mother didn't like girls, but he didn't expect her to be so disliked, and he frowned.
If that's the case, it's crucial to ensure that Yao'er and her mother develop a deep bond before they recognize each other; otherwise, even if they do recognize each other, they might not be particularly close.
Thinking of this, he said, "There are still some things that Yao'er and I haven't done about the No. 7 water. Yao'er and I will stay at the old house for the next few days."
My child?
Even their way of addressing each other is so intimate now.
She couldn't believe that Chen'er didn't know the ring on her ring finger belonged to Cheng'er, and that he could be so tolerant of her; it was truly a stark contrast to his usual behavior.
Just then, Sister-in-law Li arrived and handed her the bathrobe.
Qiao Yanzhi put on her bathrobe, not wanting to see the two of them for even a second longer: "Go out, I'm tired."
"Mom, you get some rest. I'll come see you again later."
"Hmm," Qiao Yanzhi replied calmly.
"Ms. Qiao, I bought some small things, so I left them there. If you like them, keep them; if not, just throw them away." Tang Yaoyao vaguely sensed that her mother had seen her ring, which was why she suddenly didn't want to see guests.
Everything was prepared, but she hadn't expected to forget the ring her second brother had given her, which symbolized his fiancée. What a blunder!
The mother preferred to keep quiet rather than bring it up, believing it was a matter of a man's pride. She feared that speaking out now might cause discord between the two brothers.
puff……
This misunderstanding, this farce...
It must have been really tough on my mom.
The shadow in my mother's heart has probably been completely covered by the shadow at this moment, leaving only a little bit.
Qiao Yanzhi hadn't expected Tang Yaoyao to speak so frankly, without feigning concern. Even so, she still couldn't accept it.
Once the two had walked away, Qiao Yanzhi slammed her hand on the coffee table, her brows furrowed, all the charm in her eyes gone, replaced by coldness.
Li Bie's sister-in-law had been by her side for decades and knew all her emotions well. She stepped forward and asked, "Madam, if you don't like Miss Tang, I'll just kick her out."
Qiao Yanzhi shook her head: "Let's stay for now."
Sister-in-law nodded and said no more.
She worried that if she kicked Tang Yaoyao out, her three sons might not agree.
She had dealt with countless difficult issues over the years, but this was the first time she had encountered such a thorny problem.
A woman who is also the girlfriend of her three sons. She can't bear to hurt any of her three sons, whether they are her biological sons or not, they are all her precious children.
Tang Yaoyao is such a scumbag, even worse than she was back then!
She knew that Chen'er was trying to steal Cheng'er's girlfriend, so she instructed, "Sister-in-law Li, call Cheng'er and tell him that I'm going to the Buddhist temple for meditation and that he shouldn't come back to see me."
“Yes, madam, I’ll take care of it right away,” said Sister-in-law Li.
Qiao Yanzhi didn't know how to resolve this deadlock.
Just then, Sister-in-law Li's happy voice rang out: "Fourth Young Master is back."
"Farewell to my sister-in-law".
The parting sister-in-law smiled kindly and whispered, "Madam isn't in a good mood, please comfort her."
"Um."
After her sister-in-law left, Qiao Yanzhi looked over, as if a ray of sunshine had appeared after a long period of darkness: "Han'er, come here, Mom has something to ask you."
In front of his mother, Xiao Jinhan's expression was slightly less cold, and he said softly, "Mm."
"Sit next to me."
Seeing that her face was very pale, as if she had suffered some kind of blow, Xiao Jinhan couldn't help but think of Tang Yaoyao's pretentious nature, and his sharp eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He pursed his lips: "You don't look well. Did you not sleep well last night? Let me massage your shoulders."
He stood up again and massaged her shoulders gently.
The pressure is gentle and warm, making it very comfortable.
This child was a man of few words from a young age, answering only one question at a time, and was also quite indifferent, but his filial piety towards her was the most evident.
It used to be a child's hands, but as I kept pressing, those hands gained strength and became more skilled than before, bearing the marks of time.
My anxious mood gradually improved, and a sense of happiness arose in my heart: "Among so many children, you are the one who is most willing to spend time with me. You used to massage my shoulders when I was just a little kid, and now I'm a grown man."
Are you feeling better?
As people grow older and taller, their personalities remain unchanged.
He always avoids anything too sentimental.
"Alright, stop pressing, sit down." Qiao Yanzhi felt a bit better, and her voice became much more languid.
"Um."
Only then did she ask, "Have you seen your older brothers recently?"
"I've met you."
Qiao Yanzhi considered for a moment, thinking that Han'er might know something about this, and then asked, "Do you know that your older brother is in a relationship?"
"Know."
As expected, they knew.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yanzhi frowned again: "Did you know that your second brother and sixth brother are also dating?"
Xiao Jinhan: "As far as I know, they are currently single."
How could that be?
......
The servants arranged for Tang Yaoyao to stay in a guest room. After she became familiar with the surroundings, she had someone take her to her elder brother's room.
Although Fu Xiuchen didn't come back often, his room was cleaned every day, and it smelled fresh and was spotless.
Tang Yaoyao entered the room, admired it for a while, and then said with a smile, "Brother, your room is quite nice."
"Please sit down."
Tang Yaoyao nodded and sat down. Thinking about what had just happened, she smiled and said, "Brother, Mom didn't like me to begin with, and now she probably likes me even less."
“She has never been so cold to anyone in public before.” Fu Xiuchen frowned, his usually clear voice now sounding somewhat heavy.
"Of course I'd be indifferent. I'm already lucky I didn't completely break off relations with you." As she spoke, she raised her hand, waved it in front of her eyes, and said with an innocent smile, "Heh, the culprit."
Fu Xiuchen: "..." Jin Cheng's ring was on her ring finger, no wonder...
"I'll go explain to Mom."
Tang Yaoyao said, "I'll go too."
