Chapter 69 Never Let Go
The caller was Zhao Jiaying's mother, Lv Mingxia.
"Yingying, are you really not coming back for dinner tonight?" Lu Mingxia's tone was filled with the doting and tenderness of a mother's love.
"Well, Mom, I'm with Ache, and he makes seafood meals for me." The sad and depressed thoughts on Zhao Jiaying's face completely disappeared.
Lu Mingxia was startled and surprised, "A Che made a seafood meal for you?"
"Yes, Mom, do you want to talk to him? I'll give him my phone." Zhao Jiaying stood up and came to Yun Che in the blink of an eye. "My mom."
Yun Che was stunned for a moment. Her mother was looking for him? What was going on?
Looking at Zhao Jiaying with suspicion, Yun Che slowly took the phone, "Aunt Lu, hello!
"Hello, Che!" Unlike the doting tone she used when speaking to her daughter, Lv Mingxia's words were polite and flattering. "Long time no see. Is everything okay? Yingying... Auntie is really sorry for her willfulness."
“Aunt Lu, you’re too polite. Please don’t say that.” Yun Che also quickly said politely.
"Thank you for your tolerance. Yingying is so lucky to have a boyfriend like you. Your Uncle Zhao and I have always regretted this matter. Now that I see you two are back together, I am really happy. I will talk to your Uncle Zhao later. He will definitely be very happy too. Let's arrange a time for dinner. By the way, you and Yingying are not young anymore. If possible, why not settle the marriage? Yingying's love for you is unquestionable, but she has been spoiled by us since she was a child. After getting married and having children, her character has stabilized."
Lu Mingxia kept talking, and Yun Che felt his scalp tingling, but she was his elder, and he couldn't just hang up on her.
Later, I finally ended the phone call with Lu Mingxia.
Zhao Jiaying put away her phone, looked at Yun Che and smiled, "Don't take my mother's words to heart. She saw that other friends all had grandmas, so she wanted me to have one too. By the way, do you like children? You once said you had to have a son? Because you wanted a son to inherit your estate."
Yun Che said nothing, looking at her thoughtfully.
Zhao Jiaying glanced at the dining table. "Are the dishes ready? They look delicious. Oh, is there any red wine here? Do you want someone to send a bottle over?"
"Aren't you going home soon? I'll drive. I'm not drinking anymore." Yun Che said.
Zhao Jiaying looked straight into his eyes, and suddenly wanted to say that she had changed her mind and would not go back and would stay here overnight.
But if I stay here overnight, should I sleep in the same room with him or in separate rooms?
Then what?
Finally, she twitched her lips and smiled, "Okay, then I won't drink."
The delicious seafood was brought to the table one by one, but the two people sitting opposite each other were no longer in the same mood as before, and the food seemed to have become tasteless.
After dinner, Yun Che drove Zhao Jiaying back home. They didn't speak to each other along the way. The car slowly drove into the municipal party committee staff compound and stopped in front of a three-story building.
"Are you sure you don't want to come in and sit for a while?" Zhao Jiaying unbuckled her seat belt and glanced sideways at the figure in the driver's seat.
“Next time, didn’t your mom say we can have a meal together when your dad is free?” Yun Che’s tone was calm, and no hint of meaning could be heard.
Zhao Jiaying hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll go in first. Drive carefully!"
"Um."
When Zhao Jiaying returned home, her mother, Lv Mingxia, came to greet her. "Where's Ah Che? Why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
"He has something else to do." Zhao Jiaying threw the things on the sofa.
Lv Mingxia took her arm and sat her down, saying meaningfully, "Since you're already having dinner at his place, why don't you stay the night there? Although you'll always be a child in my eyes, I understand that you've grown up. You two love each other, so just do what you want."
Zhao Jiaying's pretty face froze.
She was an adult and so smart that she naturally understood what her mother meant.
She couldn't help but wonder where Yun Che was going now. Was he going to find that woman named Su Xiao? And then with that woman...
Thinking of him doing that kind of thing with another woman, Zhao Jiaying felt her stomach churning and she almost vomited.
Seeing that her daughter looked a little off, Lv Mingxia couldn't help but call out with concern, "Yingying, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Jiaying paused in her chaotic thoughts. Looking at her mother's confused and worried eyes, she forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."
Lu Mingxia paused for a moment and continued, "Yingying, I'm not trying to blame you. No matter how capable you are, you should always remember that you are just a woman. You should always put the person you love first. No man doesn't like a woman who depends on him and always puts him at the center of everything."
"So you would rather stay alone in this empty house every day, waiting for your father to come back at some unknown time?" Zhao Jiaying snorted coldly, looking at her mother with eyes that showed no concealment of sympathy and pity.
Her father was an official with a high position. Her mother was originally a small leader in a state-owned enterprise, but in order to relieve her father from worries, she resigned and went home. Then she took care of these three acres of land every day. Occasionally, her mother would go to a banquet where her father needed her to attend, and she would spend the rest of the time in a daze.
In fact, my uncle is a higher-ranking official and has a busier job, but that doesn’t mean my aunt is so miserable. She has her own career and her own circle.
Of course, how can my mother compare with my aunt? My aunt is a natural socialite and a great beauty. Otherwise, it would be impossible for my uncle to be so devoted to her for so many years, and no amount of temptation from the outside could seduce her away.
Therefore, she wanted to be a woman like her aunt, the most dazzling star in the circle, not only to be envied and admired by everyone, but also to make Yun Che devoted to her and love her for the rest of his life!
"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm a little tired today and some of my words were harsh. I know you're doing this for my own good. In fact, I proposed to him today." Zhao Jiaying came to her senses and looked at her mother with a sad expression and apologized.
Lv Mingxia also calmed down and asked in surprise, "Really? Then what did he say?"
What did he say?
Thinking of Yun Che's silence at that time, Zhao Jiaying's face suddenly darkened again, but she quickly acted calmly and said confidently, "Although he didn't say anything verbally, it shouldn't be a problem. After all, this is our agreement. Who else can I marry besides him?"
Apart from him, no other man could catch her eye.
So, she won't let go no matter what.
Su Xiao was just a tool for him to vent his loneliness and needs. Men all have such bad nature. They are greedy for fresh flesh outside, but they know clearly what kind of life partner they want.
Now that she is back, and has returned in such glory, he naturally can't let her go. Doesn't his abnormal behavior throughout the day show that he is full of guilt and betrayal towards her!
