Cheng Zaozao was taken aback, then lowered her head. "Sister, although I may be insignificant, I still have self-respect. Brother-in-law has already said that; if I don't leave, I won't even respect myself..."
Qiao Wanwan said, "Jingting is just trying to save me some trouble, don't overthink it."
"I know." Cheng Zaozao looked up at her. "Sister, is brother-in-law angry with me?"
Why would he be angry with you for no reason? He was talking to you calmly about moving out, wasn't he?
"......Um."
“If he’s angry, he won’t let you choose the house. He’s paying for it for you. Even Zhan Yin doesn’t get this kind of treatment.”
"But sister, I don't want to leave you..." Cheng Zaozao choked out, "We've never been apart since we were little, I really can't live without you... I don't care about my pride anymore, please go and plead with my brother-in-law for me, please let me stay, okay? I promise, I'll talk less in the future and won't make you angry anymore..."
“Zaozao, Jingting’s decision will not change.” Qiao Wanwan said carefully. “I’ve also mentioned this to my mother and brother. They both think that it’s not a bad thing for you to move out. You’re grown up and need to be independent. Didn’t you just say that you can’t live under my protection forever?”
Cheng Zaozao: "......"
"But sister, I really can't bear to part with you..."
“We’re not that far apart. I’ll come to see you when I have time. Besides, Jingting said that you can move back anytime after I give birth.”
Cheng Zaozao bit her lower lip. "Okay, I'll move it."
"Rest for two more days. Once you're feeling better, I'll have Aunt Zheng take you there."
"good."
Two days later, Cheng moved to an apartment in the city.
She had barely left when Zhan Yin returned.
"Wanwan, Xiangyang has something to do at the company and won't be coming to our house. These are gifts that the two of us brought for everyone."
"good."
Su Jing said, "Wanwan, Zhan Yin just got back. Let him adjust to the time difference and rest for a couple of days before moving out."
"Move away?" Zhan Yin looked bewildered. "Move to where?"
"Jingting said you and Zaozao should move out of Wutong Bay for a while, and come back after I give birth."
"Why?" Zhan Yin said, dissatisfied. "Why do I have to move out of the blue? My uncle is being so unreasonable. I haven't done anything wrong lately..."
Qiao Wanwan didn't know how to explain, because she didn't know why Zhan Jingting wanted Zhan Yin to move out.
Zhan Yin has a cheerful personality and is a source of joy; having him around makes the house much more lively.
"Never mind all that for now, just focus on adjusting to the time difference."
"No, I can't sleep anymore! I have to go find my uncle and get to the bottom of this right now!"
Zhan Yin stormed upstairs, banged on Zhan Jingting's study door twice, then opened it and went in. "Uncle, why did you make me move out!"
Zhan Jingting was handling official business when he looked up. The icy aura between his brows and eyes made Zhan Yin shiver.
"You're getting more and more unruly. Did I let you in?"
Zhan Yin shrank back in fright, but quickly regained his composure and said, "Wanwan said you want me to move out, why?"
Zhan Jingting looked away and continued flipping through the documents in his hand. "Because this is my home."
Zhan Yin: "..." He was speechless!
"This is your home, that's true, but I'm your family member! How can you just kick me out like that!"
"I have my reasons for doing things. You don't need to dig into the details. Just do as I say."
Zhan Yin: "......"
"You're such a tyrannical and domineering ruler! I won't listen to you! I won't move! Humph!"
After Zhan Yin finished speaking, he stormed downstairs.
Zhan Jingting raised his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose, and shook his head helplessly.
What surprised Qiao Wanwan was that Zhan Jingting did not force Zhan Yin to move out.
The two didn't speak for several days, but Zhan Yin was sensible enough to go to work at the Dijing Group every day and didn't dare to slack off.
Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but chuckle, teasing the man beside her before going to sleep, "Are you giving Zhan Yin the cold shoulder?"
"who?"
"Zhan Yin, haven't you noticed that you two haven't spoken for several days?"
"I didn't notice."
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
"So Zhan Yin is actually angry and giving you the cold shoulder?" Qiao Wanwan laughed. "If he knew, wouldn't he be furious?"
"What's there to be angry about?"
"There's nothing to be angry about, you didn't insist on him moving out."
"As long as he doesn't bother you, it's fine."
"Zhan Yin is the cutest, everyone likes her very much."
"You decide."
......
With nothing to do and the weather being nice, Qiao Wanwan decided to visit Cheng Zaozao.
On the way, she called Jiang Dong, "Has Xu Lai shown up?"
Although she didn't send anyone to search for her, she had Jiang Dong keep an eye on her so that he could receive messages immediately whenever she turned on her phone or used her ID card.
"Madam, she hasn't appeared yet," Jiang Dong reported. "Her phone has been off. She may have bought a different SIM card that doesn't require registration. Besides, she hasn't used any electronic payment methods, let alone an ID card."
"That's strange. Could it be that she used cash? Or someone else's account?"
“I also checked He Songling’s account, and no one is using it.”
"Didn't her colleague report it to the police? The police haven't heard anything about it either?"
"The police have no news either, but if she smuggled herself out of the country, it will probably be hard to find her."
