Frustrated, Xiao's mother pounded her head and finally realized she had made a mistake.
"Son, Qingzhi shouldn't misunderstand, right?" Xiao's mother asked cautiously.
I don't know if she was angry, but her sister was.
Xiao Yuan leaned back on the sofa and rubbed his temples in frustration.
Xiao's mother frowned. She knew how much her son liked Qingzhi, and she was also afraid that she had really messed things up this time.
After much thought, Xiao's mother decided that she should do something.
"Son, leave this to your mother. You don't need to worry about it," said Xiao's mother, waving her hand.
Seeing Xiao Yuan looking at her with distrust, Xiao's mother rolled her eyes and continued:
"Don't worry, even if you like Qingzhi, I only approve of her as my daughter-in-law. You don't need to worry about leaving her to me." She then patted her son's shoulder.
The next morning, Zheng Xiaoxin had just gotten up and hadn't even had breakfast when Xiao's mother asked the maid to pack her things.
"Auntie, what's going on?" Zheng Xiaoxin asked, puzzled.
“Xiao Xin! Your mother sent you here for work. The villa is too remote and not suitable for commuting. Your aunt has a small apartment in the city, which is perfect for a girl to live in alone,” Xiao’s mother explained with a smile.
Zheng Xiaoxin looked reluctant before answering:
"Actually, I wanted to go to my cousin's company so he could take me with him to and from get off work every day. Besides, I'm a little scared living alone."
Xiao's mother's expression remained unchanged as she took Zheng Xiaoxin's hand.
“Your aunt had already thought of that. I hired two maids to take care of you. They will handle the cooking and housework, and they will be able to start working this afternoon.”
As soon as Xiao's mother finished speaking, Xiao Yuan looked up at her with surprise.
So fast?
Xiao's mother felt her son's gaze and gave him a knowing look.
Yesterday, after it suddenly dawned on me, I came up with this arrangement. In the middle of the night, I had someone find a housekeeping service and spent a lot of money to find a full-star nanny.
This was to prevent Zheng Xiaoxin from saying anything.
"Besides, what's so great about Xiao Yuan's company? It's exhausting every day, not suitable for a young girl at all. I have a friend who owns a newspaper, and I've already contacted her. You can just sit in the office and play on your phone all day." Xiao's mother had already thought of all the possibilities.
But Zheng Xiaoxin pouted, then tugged at Xiao's mother's hand and said coquettishly:
"Auntie, I just want to go to my cousin's company!"
Xiao's mother sighed and then gave Xiao Yuan a look.
There are some things she shouldn't say.
"My company requires at least a master's degree. Does Ms. Zheng have the necessary qualifications?" Xiao Yuan put down his phone and looked up to ask.
Long before Zheng Xiaoxin came to City A, all her information had already been sent back. Not to mention graduate school, she hadn't even finished university.
Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's words, Zheng Xiaoxin's expression changed instantly. She hadn't gone to university due to some personal matters back then. Although most people didn't know the details, her lack of education was common knowledge.
Xiao Yuan is deliberately humiliating her here!
Tears welled up in her eyes, and Xiao's mother pretended to slap Xiao Yuan twice.
"You're such a grown man, can't you speak properly?! Get out of here, go back to the company!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Zheng Xiaoxin and gently comforted her:
"Xiao Xin, be good, we won't argue with him."
Before Zheng Xiaoxin could react, Xiao's mother swiftly put all her belongings into the car, then took her hand and personally saw her off.
"Auntie will accompany you to see the apartment and see if you like it." Xiao's mother got into the car first, then smiled and waved to Zheng Xiaoxin.
Zheng Xiaoxin had no choice but to sit down, even though she was unwilling. Throughout the whole process, Xiao's mother took the initiative to talk to her and showed her great affection for her.
Zheng Xiaoxin gradually forgot her earlier displeasure and felt a growing sense of satisfaction.
"Auntie, is my cousin dating someone?" Zheng Xiaoxin asked with curious eyes.
"Yes! Qingzhi is a good child." Mother Xiao didn't say much, just nodded in response.
At first, she didn't think about it in any other way, but Zheng Xiaoxin kept mentioning Xiao Yuan during the conversation, which made her think more about it.
It seems I'm really getting senile. My son has a girlfriend, and I'm even bringing her to his side. I'm not much different from the wicked mother-in-law in TV dramas.
With a regretful sigh, Xiao's mother decided to do something.
But Zheng Xiaoxin interpreted her reaction as a sign that she might be dissatisfied with Xiao Yuan's girlfriend.
"Auntie, how about we have a meal together sometime? I'm really curious about what kind of person my cousin's wife is," Zheng Xiaoxin said warmly.
"Let's wait until we have time," Xiao's mother replied with a smile.
This made Zheng Xiaoxin even more certain that Xiao's mother didn't like Xiao Yuan's girlfriend.
Although Zheng Xiaoxin really wanted to say that she didn't like the house prepared by Xiao's mother, she couldn't find any fault with it after seeing it, so she could only stay there with a stiff smile.
The two nannies she had hired were already in place, and their respectful attitude made her even more speechless.
"Xiao Xin, your aunt has made an appointment with a friend to go to the beauty salon this afternoon. Here is the newspaper office address. Go over there tomorrow and see if you like it." Mrs. Xiao placed a business card on the table, then smiled and waved goodbye.
Only after everyone in the house had left did Zheng Xiaoxin sit on the bed in a huff and take out her phone to contact her mother.
After hearing something from the other end, Zheng Xiaoxin calmed down and then told the people outside what they wanted to eat that evening.
Meanwhile, Xiao's mother did go to a beauty salon, but not for a beauty treatment; she went to retrieve the land deed.
This is a beauty salon that ranks among the top in City A, but few people know that the real owner behind it is Xiao's mother.
After hiring a lawyer to handle the transfer of ownership, Xiao's mother arrived at the Bai family's house before dinner.
Bai Qinghuan told her mother when she got home yesterday that she had Xiao Yuan accompany another woman to the hospital, so her mother's reaction was a little different when she came in.
"Oh, you didn't go to the hospital?" Bai's mother said with a smile, but everyone could hear the sarcasm in her tone.
Mrs. Xiao was already prepared, and without any apparent change in expression, she sat down and replied:
"I'm perfectly healthy, why would I need to go to a hospital?"
"Didn't you want Xiao Yuan to accompany your daughter-in-law to the hospital?" Bai's mother didn't care what Xiao's mother thought; she only knew that the other party had made her daughter suffer.
She had to avenge her daughter.
Upon hearing this, Xiao's mother was extremely surprised, and then anxiously spoke:
"What's wrong with Qingzhi? Are you feeling unwell? I'll call Xiao Yuan right now." With that, she decisively picked up her phone and was about to dial the number.
Several black lines appeared on Bai's mother's forehead. She finally realized who Xiao Yuan got his shamelessness from.
"Stop pretending!" Finally, Bai's mother's tone changed a bit, and Xiao's mother breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you don't act sarcastic or weird like before, it's fine.
Xiao's mother leaned forward a little and tried to take Bai's mother's hand, but Bai's mother dodged her.
