Everyone returned to the sofa. When Grandma Chen saw her husband and Xiao Zheng sitting so close together, she felt a surge of anger again, but she forced herself to suppress it. No matter how angry she was, she didn't dare to vent her anger on the old man. That old bastard was the type to strike without warning.
Chen Ziyue also noticed this situation, but she didn't say anything. As long as the family is harmonious, many things can be turned a blind eye, so that everyone can live a good life.
Seeing that Li Zhenzhen seemed preoccupied, Chen Ziyue said to her, "Why doesn't Xiao Ke's face look any better? It's been more than half a month, hasn't it?"
Li Zhenzhen then seemed to come to her senses and said, "That's right, this girl might have a strong taste, but I've already given her money to see a doctor, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ziyue said meaningfully, "A girl's most important feature is her face. Xiao Ke is the most beautiful girl in our family. Zhenzhen, you should pay more attention to her appearance. It would be such a pity if she were left with a scar."
Before Li Zhenzhen could speak, Grandma Chen began to complain, saying, "She's not a member of our Chen family. We're already being lenient by giving her a bite to eat. She's an ungrateful brat. Why do you care so much about her? Right now, we should be most concerned about Zhizhi."
Chen Ziyue smiled shyly at Li Zhenzhen, then said to Grandma Chen, "Mom, our family isn't short of food right now. Don't talk about Xiao Ke anymore; she's already quite sensible."
Grandma Chen looked at her daughter and said, "You're so kind-hearted. Let's not talk about her anymore; it just makes us angrier. Let's talk about that Prince Jin Hui. Is his family really that rich? If our Zhizhi marries him, will she really get billions or even tens of billions in assets?"
Hearing her mother say this, Chen Ziyue smiled wryly and said, "Mom, his name is Zuo Hui, not Jin Hui. You can't say that outside. If others hear it, it will affect Zhizhi and Zuo Hui's friendship. Also, who told you this?"
Grandma Chen glanced at her son, and Chen Niansheng gave an awkward smile: "When Mom asked me, I just said it offhand."
Chen Ziyue felt somewhat helpless. Her family was nouveau riche, and they lacked basic knowledge. Moreover, her parents and younger brother couldn't change their ways, so as their daughter, she could only tolerate it.
Thinking that her husband no longer accompanies her back to her parents' home, Chen Ziyue feels a lot of helplessness and sadness. But no matter what, her parents devoted themselves to raising her when they were not well-off, and her younger brother also wholeheartedly supported her studies. Because of this, Chen Ziyue can't bring herself to distance herself from her family.
But she still emphasized, "No matter what, the Zuo family's wealth is unimaginable to us. Such large families have many rules, including requirements regarding the background of their daughters-in-law. If Zhizhi and Zuo Hui really do get married, even if the Zuo family doesn't give us a single penny in return, we can still earn enough to live comfortably for generations just based on that connection. However, Mom, Dad, and Brother, we need to be more self-disciplined. Before things are settled, we absolutely mustn't be greedy. We're already quite well-off, so even if things don't work out, we won't lose anything. Let's keep a balanced mindset and not make a fuss. Don't let the Zuo family think we're trying to climb the social ladder or are after their money, lest they look down on us and it jeopardizes Zhizhi's good marriage, right?"
Chen Ziyue's words always carried weight in the Chen family. As soon as she opened her mouth, the Chen family members listened attentively, showing her great respect.
As soon as she finished speaking, Grandpa Chen agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "Ziyue is right. Our family is doing quite well now. We don't care about their money. As long as Zhizhi marries well and the children are happy, that's all that matters."
Grandpa Chen is now living the most comfortable life in the Chen family. His children are all filial, he and his wife have long since separated their rooms, and the nanny, Xiao Zheng, takes care of him day and night.
If you get tired of staying at home, go out for a walk, meet up with some old friends to play a game of chess, play with the birds, or get a foot bath. Occasionally, you can go back to your hometown to show off your wealth. Life couldn't be better.
Chen Ziyue chimed in, "That's right, that's what Dad said. Our family should just have this mindset when interacting with the Zuo family's children. We don't need to be too eager or put on airs. Just be natural."
Grandma Chen chimed in, "I understand. Let's just say Zhizhi found a good young man. We parents should treat him like a close relative and take good care of him."
The relationship between Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen has never been good since their children grew up. They were always arguing and competing with each other. When they were young, Grandma Chen was often beaten by Grandpa Chen because she loved to talk too much.
She would tell everyone, good or bad news, and if they tried to stop her, she would argue. Grandpa Chen had disciplined her a lot for this, but he hadn't been able to fix her even after half a lifetime of trying.
Now that they're both older and have more money, Grandpa Chen has a son named Xiao Zheng and doesn't pay much attention to Grandma Chen anymore. Grandma Chen likes to go to the park or order a bunch of useless packages on her phone when she has nothing to do, and their lives have become unusually harmonious.
Chen Ziyue sat and talked for a while longer before getting up to leave. Originally, she had no plans to come back today.
When Chen Ziyue heard her mother call and say that Zhizhi had found a son-in-law, she knew immediately that he was the young master of the Zuo Lun Group. When she heard that her parents were almost at the hospital and wanted to see the young master, Chen Ziyue could no longer sit still.
She could only tell the two elderly people not to worry, that she would buy some gifts and go over right away. At the same time, she sent a message to her younger brother, asking him to take their parents out to eat something first, and then they would visit them together when she arrived. Then she called Chen Zhizhi to find out what was going on.
