They didn't understand why Jiang Tian had returned to China from abroad, and they were even more confused as to why she and Cheng Yanzheng were in the same city.
Furthermore, why did Cheng Yanzheng cover it up for her, and even pretend that she was seriously ill a year ago to make her disappear from the public eye?
Recalling Gao Yaohong's deliberate discussion at the dinner table, and the precautions Cheng Yanzheng had given them beforehand, the couple knew very well that they had been deceived by Cheng Yanzheng.
His reason for lying to them was very simple: to protect Jiang Tian!
So, is their marriage still valid?
When Luo Nianzhen called Cheng Yanzheng, the two had just reached a truce.
Cheng Yanzheng doesn't reveal his suppressed emotions on the surface, but in a certain place, he will vent them to his heart's content.
Previously, Jiang Tian was the one in charge, but now the tear stains on her eyes haven't even dried, and Cheng Yanzheng even fed her water.
As Jiang Tian lay on his lap, still in a daze, Luo Nianzhen called.
Cheng Yanzheng glanced at Jiang Tian, who was still in a daze, and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
“Cheng Yanzheng, where are you now? Your father and I are at the airport. We know you lied to us. Although your father and I don’t know why you suddenly became like this, we can no longer pretend we don’t know about your marital status! You’re not young anymore. Since the last one didn’t work out, you should start the next blind date as soon as possible. In any case, the Cheng family must have an heir!”
Luo Nianzhen was furious on the other end of the phone.
The eldest son had always been conservative, old-fashioned, and obedient in front of them.
Even though their last argument ended badly, in their eyes, Cheng Yanzheng was still a son they could trust.
But he kept a shocking secret from them, and kept it a secret for a whole year!
If it weren't for the fact that Cheng Yanzheng is currently the head of the group, the Cheng family couple wouldn't have come over. They would have made Cheng Yanzheng go to the Cheng family to apologize!
After saying a lot, Luo Nianzhen hung up the phone without even waiting for Cheng Yanzheng's reply.
In her mind, she was her mother, and Cheng Yanzheng could not disobey her orders.
Jiang Tian finally opened her eyes. She looked up at him, a mischievous smile on her face: "I advised you to come with me to get a divorce as soon as possible, so that this marriage wouldn't bring too many changes to your life, but you didn't listen. Now you're being questioned. How does that feel?"
"What changes? Since I met you, all the changes in my life have stemmed from you."
Cheng Yanzheng spoke in a calm tone.
If it weren't for this woman, he would probably have gotten married and had children as planned after the marriage, and his parents could have maintained a superficial warmth towards him.
But once he met her, he could no longer escape her.
Knowing full well it was a sweet poison, he couldn't resist tasting it and swallowing it.
Whatever consequences he faces next, he deserves them.
Just like the woman who is now resting her head on his lap, if he hadn't gone to great lengths to bring her back, she would probably have already flown away like a bird in the sky.
Compared to the pain she caused him, the pain of his biological parents had to be put aside.
After all, only those who care will inflict pain on the one who suffers.
Jiang Tian's words of advice made him stop caring about Luo Nianzhen and Cheng Yuanshan.
But he couldn't let her go.
It's true that after they met, all the changes in his life stemmed from her.
Jiang Tian laughed as she climbed off his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and gave him a kiss: "Then I'm sorry."
These four simple words revealed her indifference.
There was no other way; their relationship ended after Jiang Tian's announcement, which allowed them to maintain some semblance of decorum.
But Cheng Yanzheng had no intention of ending it.
The more suppressed it is, the more it boils over.
He had lived a law-abiding life for over twenty years, but everything went wrong after he met her.
After the source of the chaos moved away from him, he lost his direction in life even more.
So he went to great lengths to bring her back.
Her attitude towards him also completely shifted to one of dominance.
After all, it was he who insisted.
Cheng Yanzheng didn't comment much on the abnormal relationship between the two; at present, he needed to deal with Luo Nianzhen and Cheng Yuanshan.
"Do you want to come with me?"
Cheng Yanzheng extended an invitation to Jiang Tian.
"No, I'm not going. In my eyes, they are nothing more than the donors of your genes. Your mother watches too many idol dramas and always imagines herself as a Mary Sue heroine. In fact, she is indeed a domineering CEO's little wife who can be praised and envied, but I can't agree with her way of thinking. Your father is even more so. He is stubborn and always thinks that he is the most successful one. In fact, he only succeeded once when he was lucky. If he hadn't chosen to retire at the peak, you know what would have happened to him."
“They are just passersby in my world, why should I let them affect my mood? You know, my time is precious, especially since you have taken up most of my free time. I need to make the most of my time to rest.”
After saying that, Jiang Tian yawned and quickly fell asleep.
Seeing how soundly she was sleeping, Cheng Yanzheng said nothing more, covered her with the blanket, and left.
At the airport, he met his biological parents again after a year.
Cheng Yanzheng didn't go home for the Chinese New Year; he went on a business trip abroad, and his family couldn't say anything was wrong.
When they met again, Luo Nianzhen and Cheng Yuanshan both deeply felt the changes in their eldest son.
Over the course of a year, Cheng Yanzheng clearly underwent another kind of test; he appeared more mature and less aloof.
"Come with me, I'm very busy and don't have time to chat with you much."
Cheng Yanzheng did not arrange accommodation for them.
He's already living with Jiang Tian in this house. Bringing the couple to Jiang Tian is just asking for trouble.
He simply led them to a coffee shop, indicating that he would be going back after talking to them.
"Cheng Yanzheng, are you sure this is how you treat us? We are your parents, not your clients. How can you do this to your father and me?"
Luo Nianzhen almost screamed when her son's cold-heartedness was on her lips.
Cheng Yuanshan had a sullen face. If it weren't for his dignity as the head of the family, he would definitely have hurled insults at him.
"The topic you want to talk to me about is nothing more than Jiang Tian. Let me be frank with you, no matter what, there is no way I can dissolve my marriage with her. If that's your purpose in coming here, then I hope you leave as soon as possible and don't waste each other's time."
"You're with her because you don't understand her! Have you investigated her life story? She's not as innocent as you think!"
