"He's out to do something, something very important. How could he possibly contact me at any time? That would be too ignorant of me."
"That's right. I can tell from the first sight that Jingzhuo is a very sensible child. He's excellent in every aspect."
Oh, when these words came out of her mouth, Shen Jiaojiao didn't believe that they were sincere words.
Shen Jiaojiao drank water while listening to what they wanted to do.
Shen Huayi couldn't stand Shen Jiaojiao at all, especially since she was always arrogant every time she came back. In their Shen family, he always had the final say, but Shen Jiaojiao always went against him on everything.
So he sat there without saying anything, but ate in silence.
Dafang suddenly seemed very concerned about Shen Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, then you two must be in contact."
"No."
She almost couldn't catch her breath, "How come there is no contact? You are still husband and wife, you are too unreasonable."
Shen Jiaojiao said patiently: "I don't even know where he is, how can I contact him?"
"There must be a way, right? Don't his grandfather and father know about it?" Dafang said coldly, "I don't think you have the heart to do it. If you really wanted to contact him, you would have found a way long ago. If you ruined this good marriage, I wonder who would dare to marry you then."
"We both lead normal lives. He has his job and I have mine. He will come back when it's time. This is not a decision he or I can make."
Shen Jiaojiao already seemed a little impatient and simply lowered her head to eat.
Originally, I didn't come here to see them, but just stopped by.
"You're really not taking us seriously anymore. As your parents, are we really going to hurt you?"
"I didn't say that. What I just said is also true."
"What truth?" Shen Huayi retorted, "Do you know what you have done?"
Shen Jiaojiao really didn't know, but she knew very well that everything she did was in line with her conscience.
She doesn't care what others think.
The reason why Shen Huayi hated Shen Jiaojiao so much was because when she got married, she told Chen Jingzhuo in the family area that they had planned to sell her to the Zhao brothers. This incident made them unable to raise their heads in front of these people.
Not only that, Shen Huayi almost lost his job at the factory.
So now he is not happy with Shen Jiaojiao no matter how he looks at her.
Shen Huayi didn't care before because he thought that even if he couldn't work here, having a son-in-law like Chen Jingzhuo would definitely help him a lot in his work.
Who knew that Chen Jingzhuo left right after getting married, and Shen Jiaojiao's attitude towards them was not as usual.
"Your second brother is getting married soon, and Jingzhuo probably won't be able to come back, but we're still a family now, so we should still invite his family," Dafang said helplessly, "When the time comes, you can invite his parents over, and we'll keep their table, especially for the Chen family."
It sounds like she is very generous, but Shen Jiaojiao knows exactly what she is thinking.
Shen Jiaojiao answered calmly, "Although he and I are married, he is not around. His family and I don't visit each other very often. I haven't been to his parents' house yet. The only person I interact with more is the old man. His health is not good, and I don't want to trouble him to come. If something goes wrong at the wedding, you can't afford the responsibility."
Chen Huayi understood what she meant. It was just that she didn't want to come.
He glanced at Shen Jiaojiao, then nudged Dafang under the table.
Dafang also understood what Shen Huayi meant, and said with a smile: "Why can't you come, Jiaojiao, whether Jingzhuo is here or not, you are their daughter-in-law. If you come forward, the Chen family will have to give you face."
"I'm really not sure, but wasn't my second brother and Song Qiulan pretty good friends before? They were always together, so I think you should have him go and see her in person. She's not Jing Zhuo's biological mother, so it might not be appropriate for me to go. But if my second brother goes and invites her himself, who knows, she might actually give him face."
"It's not as suitable for him to go as it is for you, right?"
Shen Jiaojiao looked at her with chopsticks in her hand, "Mom, this is not right. It is definitely more appropriate for my second brother to go. Didn't he go to Song Qiulan for help before? Isn't she so generous? I think she will definitely come to the wedding."
Shen Huayi thought that Shen Jiaojiao did it on purpose and didn’t want them to be associated with the Chen family.
This person is really selfish. She married into a good family, but now she doesn't want to have any contact with her parents' family?
"Jiaojiao, you're not still worried that we'll embarrass you, are you?"
"How could that be? I was creating an opportunity for my second brother. He asked for so much money before, and Song Qiulan lent it to him without blinking an eye. Even I don't have that face."
"What money?" Shen Huayi was still unclear.
Shen Jiaojiao did not hide it. "It's just two thousand yuan. Didn't my second brother tell you, Dad? A few days ago, he went to find Song Qiulan himself and said that I was marrying Jing Zhuo and we would be a family in the future. Song Qiulan was happy and gave him two thousand yuan without saying a word. Such a big thing, my second brother still hid it from you. Don't let Song Qiulan come to Dad to ask for money when the time comes, and you won't be able to give it to me."
Shen Huayi's expression changed. Two thousand yuan was several months' salary for him.
He worked hard in a steel factory all his life, but he couldn't save more than 2,000 yuan.
That brat actually asked to borrow so much. "Did your second brother tell you that, or did Song Qiulan tell you that? Is she kidding you? Your second brother wouldn't do such a thing."
"Even my eldest brother knows about it. I'm surprised you don't know about it, Dad."
Shen Huayi looked at Dafang again, "Is this really true?"
Dafang said awkwardly, "His father, don't be angry. Isn't the second son in a hurry to use the money? If this guy doesn't have any money, which girl would follow him? All the money in our family was given to Chen Jiaojiao before, and now we can't take it out at all. He had no choice but to go to Song Qiulan. However, Song Qiulan also said at the time that the money does not need to be repaid. We are a family, so there is no need to be so estranged."
"Mom, was it Song Qiulan herself who told you that you didn't have to pay it back, or was it my second brother who told you that?"
"Of course it's Song Qiulan, otherwise why would I let the second brother use it?"
Shen Jiaojiao knew she was lying. Song Qiulan would not be so generous. She also knew what kind of people were in the Shen family. She was even more aware that Shen Jiaojiao had a bad relationship with them. How could she not let them pay it back?
