Zhan Jingting said calmly, "Come in."
Unexpectedly, it was Cheng Zaozao who came in.
"Brother-in-law."
"What's up?"
"Aunt Zheng asked me to bring you some fruit."
"Put it down."
Cheng Zaozao placed the fruit plate she was holding on Zhan Jingting's desk.
Zhan Jingting flipped through the documents in his hand, not looking up at her. "Is there anything else?"
Cheng Zaozao cautiously asked, "Brother-in-law, if there's anything I've done wrong, can you just tell me?"
Zhan Jingting looked up at her and asked, "Why are you suddenly saying that?"
Cheng Zaozao twisted the hem of her clothes with both hands, "I always felt that you didn't really like me..."
Zhan Jingting said calmly, "Of course I don't like you. In this world, I can only like your sister."
Cheng Zaozao: "......"
"That's not what I meant. What I meant was, you seem to be very resistant to my kindness towards my sister..."
"Is that so?" Zhan Jingting smiled faintly and said, "Your sister always says you are sensitive and fragile, and it seems to be true. I don't think I have shown any resistance to you. But since you took the initiative to come to me, I might as well talk to you more. Your sister is pregnant now, and I hope she can calm down and take good care of her body without being disturbed by anyone or anything."
Cheng Zaozao nodded, "I know. Fortunately, everything has settled down now, and my sister can finally get some rest."
Zhan Jingting put down the documents in his hand, looked up at her, and said, "With your personality, it's really tiring to get along with you. Your sister has told me more than once that she has to think carefully before she speaks to you now, for fear that she might say something that will upset you again."
“Go rent an apartment in the city. If you like it, you can buy it. I’ll pay for it. While your sister is pregnant, you can move out first.”
Cheng Zaozao was taken aback. "Brother-in-law, are you trying to kick me out?"
"If you insist on thinking that way, then so be it. You need to know that right now, everything is for your sister's sake, so I hope you will cooperate with my decision," Zhan Jingting said calmly. "But you don't need to worry too much, because it's not just you, Zhan Yin is also moving out. He's too noisy and will disturb Wanwan. Once Wanwan gives birth, you can move back anytime you want."
Cheng Zaozao bit her lower lip tightly. "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry. My presence has affected you and my sister. I promise you, I will move out."
"Okay," Zhan Jingting said. "I'll talk to Wanwan tonight before you move, so it won't be too sudden and she won't overthink it."
"Okay." Cheng Zaozao lowered her head. "Then, brother-in-law, if there's nothing else, I'll head out now."
"Go."
......
After checking Eleven and Nine's homework, Qiao Wanwan told them to go play and went downstairs to go for a walk.
“Madam.” Zheng Ma came over.
"Are you done with your work? Shall we go for a walk together?" Qiao Wanwan invited.
"Madam, I just saw Miss Zaozao crying as she went back to her room," Zheng Ma reported.
Qiao Wanwan frowned. "What's wrong with her now?"
"I don't know, it seems like she came down from upstairs."
"She hasn't contacted me," Qiao Wanwan said, puzzled. "Never mind, I'll go check on her."
"I'll go with you."
Qiao Wanwan arrived outside Cheng Zaozao's room and knocked on the door. "Zaozao, are you there?"
There was no response from the room.
Qiao Wanwan turned to look at Zheng Ma, "Are you sure she went back to her room?"
"Yes, madam."
Without further hesitation, Qiao Wanwan turned the doorknob and went inside.
Cheng Zaozao was not in the room, but there was some noise coming from the direction of the dressing room.
Qiao Wanwan went inside and saw Cheng Zaozao packing her clothes into her suitcase.
"Zaozao, why are you packing your bags? Are you going to another city for a gig?"
"Sister, what brings you here?" Cheng Zaozao's eyes were red, and there were still tear stains on her face. "...Yes, I have a work commitment, so I'm packing my things."
"Why did you bring such a big suitcase to your event?" Qiao Wanwan frowned. "Aunt Zheng just said you cried. What happened?"
“I didn’t cry, Aunt Zheng must have been mistaken,” Cheng Zaozao denied. “I really have to rush to a gig, and this trip will be quite long, so I need to bring extra clothes.”
“You didn’t bring this many clothes when you went abroad for ten days or half a month last time,” Qiao Wanwan said. “Or I could call your agent and ask to find out where you’re going for a gig and how much stuff you need to bring.”
"Sister..." Cheng Zaozao's tears welled up, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I've disturbed your life..."
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
"Tell me exactly what happened, don't make me guess."
“My brother-in-law said it’s not appropriate for me to live in Wutong Bay and told me to move out.” Cheng Zaozao said, then immediately added, “But please don’t blame him. He did this so that you can rest and take care of your pregnancy.”
Qiao Wanwan pondered for a moment and said, "Jing Ting must have his reasons for doing this. How about this, I own an apartment in a very good location and environment. You can go and live there first, and I will arrange for two maids to go and take care of your daily life."
Cheng Zaozao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "Thank you, sis, but it's okay. I'm not a child anymore, I can take care of myself."
“You’ve really grown up. You have your own career and life now. I can’t keep you tied to my side forever.” Qiao Wanwan stepped forward and patted his shoulder. “Take good care of yourself. Call me anytime if anything happens.”
"Um......"
"You don't need to pack so many clothes. Just take a few sets to change into. If you need more, I can have someone send you some."
