Chapter 1018 Inquiry
Next, Su Xiao turned the camera to Zheng Zheng. The little guy had just woken up. His mental state was not as good as before, but his big round eyes made people feel at ease.
Yun Che kept yelling and teasing him, and Su Xiao also said to the little guy, "Zheng Zheng, have you seen Daddy? Daddy misses you so much. He worked so late but couldn't help but call me on video just to see you. You have to be good and get better soon. Daddy will be back on Friday. Let's go home and wait for him, okay?"
"Haha, he can't speak yet. He can't understand even if you talk to him so much."
"He doesn't understand, but I believe he will do it. This is the unique emotion and nature between us mother and son." Su Xiao said subconsciously.
“I agree with that.” Yun Che also said with a smile. Seeing that her mood had improved and she was no longer so sad and anxious, he felt very relieved.
Then they chatted for a while longer, and only ended the video call after Yun Che received another call.
As her son's condition gradually improved, Su Xiao finally let go of her worries and turned her attention back to Lin Ran's affairs.
That day, Lan Qiuling noticed that she was always out of shape and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Are you okay? Are you too tired? Zhengzheng is much better now. You don't have to be too nervous or overworked. Just leave some things to Aunt Huang and Xiao Cui."
Su Xiao looked at her mother gratefully and smiled, "It's okay."
But Lan Qiuling asked again, "How were your days in S City? Did you meet anyone? Did Yun Che need you to attend any banquets?"
"The secretary invited me to dinner, saying it was a welcome party for me, and he also invited several deputy mayors and their wives." Su Xiao pondered for a moment before asking, "Mom, have you heard of Zheng Yingze? The one in the secretary's office?"
Lan Qiuling was also slightly stunned for a moment, then replied, "Your father has a pretty good relationship with him. I also heard your father say that he really appreciates A-Che and has helped A-Che a lot. Why are you suddenly mentioning him? Did A-Che tell you anything?"
"No, it's just that when I went to the secretary's house for dinner the other day, I heard them talking about it. You know his wife, right? What kind of person do you think she is?"
"Lin Peifang? I know her, but we don't interact much. Her personality... Anyway, she and I aren't close friends, unlike me and your Aunt Guirong and the others. But it's okay. With her husband in such a position, she must be very proud and full of energy. She naturally puts on airs, but she doesn't bully anyone. Well, it's okay."
fine.
My mother has always had high standards and would never go out of her way to flatter anyone, except for my wife and Aunt Guirong, because these women are indeed outstanding and my mother appreciates and admires them very much.
But from what my mother said, although Lin Peirong was the wife of a high-ranking official, she did not do anything excessive, was not arrogant, and did not bully others.
So, everything is because of Lin Ran.
Lin Ran is the apple of Lin Peirong's eye, and she is willing to do anything for her.
"What's wrong? What did those people say about Zheng Yingze?"
Su Xiao calmed down and said, "Actually, they didn't say much. They just mentioned... that they have a daughter. She's very outstanding, both in appearance and ability. She seems to be only 24 years old this year."
"I remember her daughter. I met her a few years ago. She's really good-looking and has a good personality. She went abroad to study when she was young and has achieved a lot. Zheng Yingze's son has loved art since he was young and has no intention of inheriting his father's career, so they had to pin their hopes on their daughter. But she's also very capable. I've met so many girls in this circle, and she's one of the best. She's quite good in every aspect."
In Su Xiao's impression, the only woman her mother could admire and approve of so much was Zhao Jiaying, besides her sister-in-law. Putting aside personal emotional grievances, Qu Si and Zhao Jiaying were indeed rare and outstanding people, which was enough to show that Lin Ran was outstanding!
"By the way, why are you interested in his daughter?" Lan Qiuling suddenly asked.
Su Xiao didn't want to tell her mother about that yet, so she said, "What do you think? If she marries my brother..." "Marry your brother?" Lan Qiuling was surprised. "Based solely on her personal qualities, she's indeed quite good. Although she hasn't developed to be as perfect as Qu Si, she's still worth 19 points. However, she's a little young, a whole generation younger than your brother! And Lin Peifang has such high standards, and your brother is getting married for the second time, so he might not agree."
Yeah?
But Lin Peifang doesn't treat Yun Che like that!
Yun Che is also married, still married, and has five children...
Of course, Su Xiao just said this temporarily to divert her mother's attention. She didn't really want Lin Ran to marry her brother. Lin Ran was not worthy of it, even though she was excellent in all aspects!
Su Xiao smiled and said, "I'm just saying it. My brother might not like it either. Yun Che said that we are all outsiders. Let my brother decide his feelings for himself. I always believe that my brother will meet his true love!"
"I can only hope so. By the way, Zheng Zheng is fine now, are you still planning to go over?"
Su Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Well, I promised Yun Che to stay with him for a few more days. He will be back this weekend. I'm wondering if I should go with him. Let's see how Zheng Zheng is doing first. Or he can go first and I can wait a few days before going."
"You are husband and wife, so naturally you should be together. This is what I have always thought."
"Wherever my dad was transferred, you followed him, right? Besides wanting to take care of him and help him with his work, was there another reason you followed him? Was it because you were worried about him?" Su Xiao asked hesitantly, then turned away, not daring to look her in the eye, for fear that she would be unhappy.
Lan Qiuling was indeed stunned for a moment, then she said, "We are mother and daughter, the closest and most intimate people. Although I usually have extremely high expectations of you and often have many dissatisfactions with you, you are still my daughter after all. Besides your brother, you are the one I care about and value the most. There are some things I am not afraid to let you know, and this is just a good opportunity to give you a shot in the arm. You are right. Besides those, I will also drive away some women who want to get close to your father. Back then, your father had an extraordinary appearance, a good family background, and a promising future. How many women wanted to get a share of his glory!"
Men, after all, have some bad habits. Although your father is a man of integrity and remembers his status and responsibilities, he can be confused sometimes. Moreover, he can't resist the seduction of some people with ulterior motives. If I stay by his side, even if I can't keep an eye on him all the time, at least I can keep those women who are ready to make a move from being so arrogant."
Su Xiao fell silent. She understood everything her mother said.
Lan Qiuling glared at her and asked, "Is there something wrong with Yun Che over there? Logically speaking, he shouldn't be."
