Every gossipmonger is known for their eloquence, just like Wang Cancan. Du Mei had even scolded her to her face, so how could she tolerate this? So Wang Cancan glared at her and said, "Xie Jing and I are dealing openly and honestly. Du Mei, do you and your friends dare to be open and honest?"
Du Mei choked, and Huang Yan immediately added insult to injury: "That's right, the atmosphere of our school has been ruined by people like you."
Wang Cancan will not help Huang Yan: "You are not a good person either. It's your turn to criticize her? What the hell? Go away! Make way! A good dog doesn't block the road."
Wang Cancan didn't like Du Mei, but she disliked Huang Yan even more, okay? How could she possibly team up with Huang Yan to deal with Du Mei? Besides, it was just a verbal quarrel, and she could have just gotten back at it.
Xie Jing had no idea what had happened after she left the classroom. When she got home, Li's mother was already busy preparing lunch. Xie Jing didn't go into the piano room either, but instead talked to Li's mother about recent events.
After hearing about Zhou Jiwen's situation, Aunt Li was very happy: "Looking at it this way, my uncle is a pretty good person. Everyone in the second branch of the Zhou family is not a good person, and my uncle has had a hard time these years."
"But if we talk about having a hard time, it's definitely harder for you, Miss. Just think about it. You were originally the daughter of a good family, but now you're being treated so harshly by Xie Xuerong and Liu Liming."
Xie Jing laughed: "How do you know I come from a good family?"
Li Ma thought without hesitation: "Miss, if a family could afford a golden longevity locket more than 20 years ago, they must be no ordinary family. And the craftsmanship is so exquisite. I have also inquired about it."
"This kind of craftsmanship is basically only done by experienced craftsmen."
"Think about it, you already had this golden longevity lock when you were still a baby. It shows that your family loves you very much."
Mother Li grumbled, "If I had grown up with my biological parents, why would I have endured so much criticism over the years?"
Xie Jing curled her fingers. "It's actually not that bad. Even though Liu Liming and Xie Xuerong have favored the Xie siblings over the years, they haven't really treated me unfairly financially."
Aunt Li had a different opinion: "That's because you're able to stand up for yourself, Miss. If you hadn't fought for it, would they have been so generous? Liu Limin isn't someone to be trifled with. Xie Wuyou and she are practically cut from the same cloth."
Xie Jing couldn't help but laugh: "I think you, Aunt Li, have a very deep filter for me. Oh, right, you said last time that you were going to the hospital to visit the old lady who was hospitalized. Any news from her?"
Li Ma sighed, "No, that old lady hasn't been working at the Liu family for long, so I can't get any information from her."
Xie Jing wasn't disappointed either: "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if there's nothing to find. Brother Fan has already sent people to the capital. Maybe he's made some progress there. Who knows."
Xie Jing and Li Ma talked about almost everything about her own life experience, but Xie Jing never mentioned Zhou Jiyun's parents. It was simply that Li Ma didn't have much interest in Zhou Jiyun. She only cared about Xie Jing.
"I went to the hospital to see the old lady today," Li Ma finished cooking the soup and then turned to Xie Jing to continue telling her about her experiences over the past few days: "I saw Zhou Zhida in the hospital."
"Oh?" Xie Jing was surprised: "He went to the hospital today?"
"Isn't it?" Aunt Li disliked Zhou Zhida very much. "I took the child with me. I also asked the doctor about Lin Nan's condition. She woke up and now all she needs is bed rest."
"I heard from the doctor that she'll have to stay in the hospital for a full month, and then she can go home and recuperate the rest of the time. As for her health, I guess she'll be a sickly woman for the rest of her life."
"Why is she doing this? It's not like she really needs to have a child. Even if she can't have children in the future, she can just adopt one. Or, she can save some money and live in a nursing home."
Xie Jing wasn't afraid to speculate on people's hearts with the utmost malice: "I think she did it for the money. If she really wanted to be independent, and her child had already recognized their ancestral home, there would be no need for her to see Zhou Zhida again."
"Miss, you're not wrong," Li Ma nodded. "I don't know what's wrong with values these days. Everyone wants to take shortcuts."
Xie Jing shook her head. "Who wouldn't like a shortcut that could save them from suffering and struggle? This kind of thing is just a matter of mutual consent. We're not the presiding judge, so it's not our turn to judge these things."
"By the way, how are Zhou Zhida and Lin Nan getting along?"
Mother Li gave a disdainful look. "I heard that Zhou Zhida has been promoting Lin Nan as his wife. But who in the hospital doesn't know about his news?"
Xie Jing smiled: "Fang Qin must be so angry, but then again, Zhou Zhida is quite sensible."
Mother Li was surprised: "What does this have to do with being sensible?"
Xie Jing was at her ease: "Zhou Zhida knows that men are under a lot of pressure nowadays, so when he has the energy to spare, he wants to take care of more women. Isn't that sensible?"
Aunt Li burst out laughing: "Miss, you are talking so mischievously now. Did you learn this from your uncle?"
Xie Jing asked back, "Why did I learn from him? Could it be that he was influenced by me?"
"I don't think so," Aunt Li shook her head. "How serious and cold were you before? I've never seen you joking with others. But I don't think your uncle is like that. He really likes to make you laugh."
"But I think my uncle is very serious towards others."
"I used to think that my uncle was unreliable, after all, their Zhou family was so chaotic. But now I see that my uncle is really a good person."
Listening to Li Ma's ramblings, Xie Jing simply lowered her eyes and smiled. Between her and Zhou Jiyun, it was a two-way relationship, neither side was in control, and both were straightforward players.
The difference is that Zhou Jiyun is always the one who takes the initiative, and she never backs down and always speaks her mind.
From the time they got married until now, Zhou Jiyun had been truly honest and consistent. He even told her the secret of his rebirth in detail.
To be honest, Xie Jing was quite emotional. Of course, Xie Jing didn't bother herself enough to question whether Zhou Jiyun loved her in this life or in the previous one. In Xie Jing's opinion, there was no need for that.
She is a real person, she can tell the difference between false and insincere feelings, she will not be wrong when Zhou Jiyun looks at her. You can tell whether a person loves you or not just by looking at their eyes.
"Speaking of which, it's not easy for my son-in-law to be like this." Aunt Li concluded, "It's not easy for both of you. If you had grown up with your biological parents, perhaps you wouldn't be as aloof as you are now."
Xie Jing: "I think my personality is innate. Maybe it's partly influenced by Liu Limin and Xie Xuerong, but to be honest, I've never had any particular likes or dislikes since I was a child."
"I don't take almost anything to heart. I feel like I'm just naturally detached."
