"If you dare to do it but not let people talk about it, then General Liu already has sixteen concubines. Let her be the seventeenth one."
"Stop talking, the boss is coming out, shut up now."
Their conversation came to an abrupt end after they saw Jin Shu walk out of the office.
"It's okay, you guys talk. Journalists need your kind of curiosity. Don't worry about me."
As soon as Jin Shu left the office with her bag, the chatter started again behind her.
Jin Shu really wouldn't care about these things. As long as they worked hard, she wouldn't mind even if the person they were talking about behind her back was herself.
As long as the news isn't fabricated, let them talk and say whatever they want.
Nowadays, Jin Shu is gradually becoming less busy, because the Su family embroidery factory has gotten on track, and there are trusted people keeping an eye on the weapons factory. When she has nothing to do, she will come to the newspaper office to sit for a while and listen to them talk about what has happened in BH City recently, which is also a kind of entertainment.
When Jin Shu took the car back that evening, she saw two familiar figures at the door.
As soon as Zhang Jiqing saw Jin Shu get out of the car, he quickly stood up and went to greet her.
Standing behind her, Zhang's mother was clearly still somewhat unwilling, so she stood not far away and watched.
"Sister-in-law! We've been here for three days straight. Where were you the first two days? We waited from morning till night but didn't see you."
Zhang Jiqing tried to take Jin Shu's hand, but before Jin Shu could react, a bodyguard rushed forward and blocked Zhang Jiqing's path.
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? We're family, why are you being so formal?"
When facing Jin Shu, Zhang Jiqing still retained her old habits. After all, she had treated Jin Shu this way for so many years. Even though she tried to be polite now, her subconscious reactions and actions were still arrogant and impatient.
The bodyguard remained motionless, waiting for Jin Shu's next instructions.
"Sister-in-law? You've got the wrong name. There's no sister-in-law here."
"Sister-in-law! Are you still angry with us? I knew it, that's why I brought my mom here to apologize to you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was wrong before. I shouldn't have been deceived by Zhao Hanying and made you sad."
But now I see Zhao Hanying's true colors! She's a selfish and self-serving liar! She's nowhere near as good as you!
So, sister-in-law, please don't be angry anymore, okay?
"Mom has come to apologize to you personally, what's there to be angry about?"
Jin Shu couldn't help but laugh at her inexplicable remarks.
“My parents died early, so where did this mother come from? I don’t know these people, kick them out.”
Jin Shu felt neither hatred nor resentment towards them; she simply couldn't be bothered with them and didn't want to waste even the slightest bit of emotion on them.
She's busy all day long; she doesn't have time to waste here with these two monsters.
As soon as Jin Shu spoke, the bodyguard immediately turned fierce and dragged Zhang Jiqing outside by his clothes.
Zhang Jiqing was dragged out like a little chick, with no room for resistance whatsoever.
"Sister-in-law, Jin Shu! What are you doing! We're all family, why are you acting like this? You've hurt me so much, and I've been trying to persuade my brother to make up with you!"
"Don't you know my brother broke up with Zhao Hanying?! That's all because I'm trying to give you a second chance!"
Zhang Jiqing refused to believe that Jin Shu would still kick her out after she had said all that, unless she didn't want to reconcile with her brother!
To everyone's surprise, Jin Shu didn't turn her head after she finished speaking and walked straight into the villa inside the iron gate.
The bodyguard roughly threw her onto the road.
"If you dare to cause trouble here again, I'll have you arrested and taken to the police station!"
"You dare! My brother is the head of the security department! If you dare treat me like this, I'll have my brother bring some men to beat you up!"
The bodyguard gave the mother and daughter a cold look, then said solemnly.
"It won't work here no matter who you bring up! Get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Zhang Jiqing was so angry that he jumped up and down, while his mother, standing to the side, started rolling her eyes and patting her chest.
I can't get the same quality medicine as before, and now I can't stand even the slightest stimulation.
"Let's go! Let's go!"
"Mom, how could Jin Shu treat us like this? We even came to ask for peace!"
"From this day forward, Jin Shu has nothing to do with us anymore! Even if she regrets it later, don't give her another chance!"
Zhang's mother stormed off in anger.
Ever since Zhang Jisheng and Zhao Hanying had a falling out, Zhang's mother and Zhang Jiqing have openly moved into Zhang Jisheng's new house.
This house was a welfare housing unit provided by the local municipality after he became a government employee. Although it didn't belong to him, at least he had a place to live in the best location in BH City.
Moreover, the people living nearby are all prominent figures in BH City.
When Zhang's mother returned home, she was seething with anger. Just then, Zhao Hanying pushed open the door and walked in.
Zhang's mother's expression changed, her face hardening.
"Why aren't you cooking? It's almost noon. If you don't cook soon, who are you expecting to cook for you? What will Jisheng eat when he gets home?"
Zhao Hanying had a cold face, but she didn't argue back. She threw down her bag and went straight into the kitchen.
She didn't know how to cook before, but in order to keep Zhang Jisheng's heart, Zhao Hanying specially found someone to learn cooking skills.
She now cooks almost all three meals a day at home.
Because she didn't have a job, Zhang's mother believed that people without jobs should take care of the household.
When Zhang Jisheng returned, Zhao Hanying greeted him warmly, carrying his bag and taking off his coat.
"Jisheng, you must be tired. I made your favorite dishes. Come and eat."
Zhang Jisheng accepted her service expressionlessly. After sitting down, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat. By the time Zhao Hanying brought another dish out of the kitchen, Zhang Jisheng had already finished eating and was about to get up and leave.
"There's one more dish!"
"I'm not eating anymore, I'm full."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hanying's eyes filled with resentment as she looked at Zhang Jisheng.
"Let's eat some more. We haven't had a proper chat all day."
"I'm too busy, I don't have time."
Zhao Hanying gritted her teeth, looked at Zhang Jisheng's indifferent face, and then slammed the plate heavily on the table.
"Zhang Jisheng! What do you mean?! I've gone this far and you're still not satisfied? What else do you want me to do?!"
The atmosphere in the room was tense. Zhang Jisheng glanced at her, but didn't say a word. He picked up his coat and turned to leave.
Just as Zhao Hanying was about to pull him away, Zhang's mother grabbed her arm.
"My son works hard outside to earn money to support the family, can't you just shut up for once?!"
