Chapter 354 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
"He didn't say, but he'll definitely be back before ten o'clock." Mrs. Lu turned off the radio and turned back to ask Lin Manli, "What do you want to see him about?"
"It's nothing..." Lin Manli forced a smile, "You know, he's not that close to Jiahe and me. He prefers to stay with you and my dad."
When I was young, I felt free and unrestrained without the burden of children.
But now it seems that she was wrong, extremely wrong. She shouldn't have left the child to be raised by her parents-in-law, which resulted in her son becoming estranged from her.
"Don't blame me for bringing Jingyou up. Back then, you and Jiahe were always arguing, and Jingyou was frightened by you." Mrs. Lu's wrinkles deepened at the corners of her eyes. She fanned herself and said slowly, "Jiahe didn't grow up by my side. I raised him to be lawless. I didn't have the conditions before, and I had no choice. So I can't watch my grandson being ruined by you."
"We were young back then, but we don't argue anymore now," Lin Manli said, her voice growing softer. "We don't argue anymore, and the children have grown up..."
She even forgot what her son looked like when he was a child.
If she could go back to the past, she would definitely raise her child herself and would never let him leave her side.
"Now that you know he's grown up, you shouldn't bother with him anymore. He's not a child anymore. The more you control him, the less he'll want to talk to you." Mrs. Lu turned her head and glanced at Lin Manli. "When Jingyou was born, our family was just starting a business. You didn't have time to take care of him, so it's normal for you to leave him to us. He's my grandson, and I love him as much as you do. You don't have to always regret not taking care of him. Even if you didn't, you're still his biological mother."
"But we're almost strangers now. He doesn't even come back to my place." Lin Manli couldn't help but complain to her mother-in-law, "The last time he came home, he argued with me because of Yan Xuewei..."
"The matter of Yan Xuewei has been made clear long ago. Why are you still entangled in it?" Mrs. Lu shook her head and said, "I know you like Yan Xuewei, but what's the point if Jing You doesn't like her?"
"Xuewei is a good girl." Lin Manli sighed, "It would be great if Jingyou could marry her..."
"When Jingyou was five or six, he loved a poodle and couldn't let it go. When you saw it, you said poodles were unhygienic and had bacteria, and insisted that Jingyou give it away. Jingyou refused and cried anxiously. So you took the poodle away while he was sleeping." Mrs. Lu frowned as she looked at Lin Manli again. "When Jingyou woke up, he couldn't find the poodle and cried for a long time. I asked you to bring it back, but you said you gave it away."
"As a mother-in-law, I can't scold you for such a small thing. I told Jingyou that the little lion dog had gone home to look for its mother. Although he was small at that time, he was very smart. He asked me to take him to visit the little lion dog and its mother. I took him with me and searched for several days. Jingyou stopped looking for it. I thought he had forgotten about it, but when he was sleeping that day, he said that he would never see the little lion dog again and that you took it away."
"Mom, that happened so long ago..." Lin Manli vaguely remembered such an incident, but she couldn't remember it clearly.
"What I want to say is that you haven't changed your temper. You always give Jingyou everything you think is good, without considering his feelings at all." Mrs. Lu picked up the fan and put it down again, continuing, "Later, when his grandfather heard about this, he bought him a poodle, but he didn't even look at it. He knew that the puppy he loved would never come back. Even though you are his mother, you don't understand him."
"This child has been stubborn since childhood." Lin Manli suddenly remembered what Lu Jingyou said. He said that if he couldn't marry Su Jiaojiao, he would never get married again in his life. How could he talk like that? If this isn't stubbornness, what is it?
"You think this is stubbornness, but I think this child would rather have nothing than something bad, and he's just a little bit persistent." Mrs. Lu's expression was indifferent, and her inner emotions could not be seen. She turned her head and looked at Lin Manli seriously, "If you always focus on a person's shortcomings, there is no perfect person in the world. Jingyou is your child, you should look more at his strengths."
Lin Manli was speechless and remained silent.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were silent for a while, and then Mrs. Lu said, "You came here not just to look for Jingyou, right?"
"Mom, I came here mainly to see you." Lin Manli twitched the corner of her mouth. "Jiahe is not at home, and I will be alone when I get home from get off work..."
"Are you not busy with work now?" Mrs. Lu asked again.
"It's okay." Lin Manli and Lu Jiahe and the others tacitly agreed not to mention the company's affairs. The money the company earns now is mainly used to repay debts.
"I know, you all kept it a secret from me." Old Mrs. Lu stood up and walked tremblingly into the house. Lin Manli hurried over to support her. "Mom, don't think too much. How could we dare to hide it from you?"
"If you're not deaf or dumb, you don't have to be the patriarch. If you don't say anything and I don't mention it, we can maintain the dignity of the Lu family." Mrs. Lu said as she walked, "Since we have handed the company to Jingyou, we will trust him unconditionally and not doubt him. As parents, you and Jiahe should help him with his work. As for what kind of wife he wants to find, it's up to him!"
Lin Manli was secretly shocked.
Could it be that the old couple knew everything?
After a while, Lu Jiaping and Qin Xiuming came back. The father and son had played golf for the whole afternoon and seemed to be in high spirits. When Mrs. Lu saw the father and son, she was in a good mood and urged them to take a shower and then eat.
When Lin Manli saw them, she lost interest and did not stay for dinner. She took the red bean cake and drove away.
If it weren't for Lu Jiaping, Jiahe Group wouldn't have become like this. She gets angry whenever she sees him. And that Qin Xiuming, he only knows how to act cute and act cute in front of the old couple all day long, just trying to make some money!
It’s disgusting just thinking about it!
While walking on the street, Lin Manli suddenly received a call from her sister Lin Manling: "Sister, I just saw my brother-in-law talking affectionately with a woman at the entrance of The Wizard of Oz..."
"I was wondering why he came back so late these days!" Lin Manli became angry. "I'll go over and take a look."
This bastard not only doesn't go home, but also doesn't care about his son's affairs.
All he does is fool around outside!
"Sister, don't be impulsive." Lin Manling said hurriedly, "I'll go with you."
Ding Linyu's high school classmate Wang Xiaoyu used to work in her hometown. This year, she came to the capital with her fellow villagers. She had previously interned at an insurance company for three months, but quit after the internship and planned to get a driver's license before looking for a job.
It just so happened that Ding Linyu asked her if she wanted to go to Wudaokou to sell clothes, with food and accommodation provided for 800 yuan, and she agreed without thinking.
In order to express her welcome to the new employee, Su Jiaojiao specially asked Ding Linyu to invite Wang Xiaoyu to meet at The Wizard of Oz.
