"And I really think I'm living a good life. After all, my financial treatment in the Xie family is really good."
"You fought for it yourself," Cheng Shuying disagreed. "I'm glad you're not a pushover, but if someone truly loves you, they'll naturally give you good things. Why would you fight for them?"
Xie Jing: "So after I returned home, you and Dad gave me a lot of things, and I finally felt truly loved."
"It's completely different from the love Jiyun gives me."
Cheng Shuying: "You and Jiyun, although you appear calm and peaceful, are actually very passionate inside. Sometimes when I look at you, I feel like you are like a flood under the glacier, and I don't know when you will set off a huge wave."
"How can it be as exaggerated as you say?" Xie Jing said embarrassedly: "I think our life is quite ordinary. It's not as grand and dramatic as others think, nor is it so dramatic. It's just a very ordinary life."
"It's so ordinary, you got a peach branch?" Cheng Shuying nodded Xie Jing's head: "Hurry up and wash up, A Li and A Zhao are engaged, and when you and Ji Yun return to the capital, the house will really be lively."
Xie Jing's voice came from the bathroom: "When Brother Xu brings Junjun home, the house will be more lively."
"Speaking of Junjun," Cheng Shuying walked to the bathroom door, looked at Xie Jing with a face full of bubbles, and couldn't help but smile: "When your aunt found out about Jin Jun yesterday, she was extremely happy."
"She was worried that Yunxu had too high emotional demands and would end up alone. Now that Yunxu has met someone who has impressed him, your aunt is finally relieved."
"I knew Junjun was going to perform on the afternoon of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and she invited us to go to the theater to watch Junjun's performance."
Xie Jing took the towel and wiped her face: "Junjun is very likable, she is really super beautiful."
Cheng Shuying: "In my eyes, my daughter is the most beautiful."
Xie Jing held Cheng Shuying's hand lovingly: "I know, Mom thinks I'm good in every way. I thought you didn't like those kinds of crowded places."
Cheng Shuying was also frank: "Actually, your father and I want to spend more time with you. Don't feel any psychological burden. Everyone has preferences, I understand."
"Jiyun seems to have it all, but in reality, we have a shallow relationship. Your father and I can understand why you favor him. Isn't that what husband and wife are supposed to do? Always choose each other firmly, and don't let your significant other feel abandoned."
"He's already moved his assets to the capital for you. You'll be living there permanently, with us by your side day and night. Your father and I understand why you're so partial to him."
"Besides, transportation is well developed nowadays. If your father and I miss you, we can leave in the morning and arrive in S City by noon. It's very easy and convenient."
Xie Jing said in a clear voice, "I don't think Dad can understand. He's always jealous."
Cheng Shuying laughed: "Your dad just can't bear to leave you. No matter who you are with, your dad doesn't like that person. It just happens that that person is Jiyun. Don't you see that your dad is quite peaceful towards Jiyun now?"
The father-in-law and son-in-law who came outside the door to call their respective wives looked at each other, and then looked away together.
Zhou Jiyun touched his nose and knocked on the door: "Jingjing, are you ready? It's time to leave."
Xie Jing raised her voice: "Almost there, wait for me five minutes."
Cheng Shuying patted Xie Jing's shoulder and said, "I'll go down first. Don't worry, take your time. There's no need to rush right now."
Cheng Shuying opened the door and saw Zhou Jiyun and Yun Lan standing in the corridor. She paused, walked over and took Yun Lan's hand: "Let's go downstairs first, Jingjing should change her clothes."
Yun Lan snorted, thinking of his daughter Chuqi who would go back with Zhou Jiyun. Now the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Jiyun was not as gentle as before.
But Cheng Shuying pulled him, and Yunlan had no choice but to follow Cheng Shuying down.
Zhou Jiyun smiled, not taking Yun Lan's temper to heart. Yun Lan was already easy to get along with. At least he never spoke harshly to him, nor did he treat him badly in his actions, just occasionally snorting.
To Zhou Jiyun, it was just a drizzle.
Around 11 o'clock, everyone in the Yun family arrived at the hotel. When Xie Jing went to Zhu Li's room, Zhu Li had already changed into her engagement dress and was talking to Qi Yao and Jin Jun.
Seeing Xie Jing coming over, Zhu Li waved at her hurriedly: "Jingjing, you're here, come and sit down! I was pulled up early to put on makeup, and it's hard to get a break."
"Get whatever you want to eat. There are fruits and snacks."
Xie Jing forked a piece of fruit and said, "I'm not polite. I got up late today. I only slept in yesterday during the New Year holidays. The rest of the time I was running around and had no free time at all."
Zhu Li nodded in understanding: "I know, your situation is special. We know each other well enough, there's no need to be so particular. I'm glad you can come. To be honest, when I attended Zhou Jiwen's engagement party last time, I didn't expect that I would be engaged so soon."
“Looking back now, it feels like a lifetime ago.”
Xie Jing couldn't help but recall the day Zhou Jiwen and Shen Yaozhi got engaged: "Indeed, it's only been two or three months, but it feels like it happened a long time ago."
Qi Yao was curious: "Zhou Jiwen's fiancée? Is she the eldest daughter of the Shen family?"
"That's her," Zhu Li curled her lips. "To be honest, I don't like her. Although she is the victim in this engagement, there are some people who, even if they are victims, you can't be soft-hearted with them."
Xie Jing said slowly: "Then don't be soft-hearted. In fact, before Zhou Jiwen and Shen Yaozhi got engaged, I already knew about Zhou Jiwen and Jiang Cha. At that time, I felt that it was not good for a girl like Shen Yaozhi to be deceived by Zhou Jiwen like this."
"Even though she came to the old house a few times before and treated me badly because of her family background, I still felt that I should remind her."
Zhu Li was curious: "But you didn't tell her later? What did she do?"
"She didn't say anything," Xie Jing thought of the Shen family members she met at the engagement party that day and suddenly smiled, "but her attitude and tone of voice fully showed it."
"At the engagement banquet that afternoon, the old man of the Shen family called me out in front of everyone. The general idea was to let me see my own status clearly and not think that just because I was the eldest grandson's wife, I could really surpass Shen Yaozhi."
Zhu Li opened her mouth wide: "What about Chen Yaozhi? Is she just watching like that?"
"Of course," Xie Jing sneered at the thought. "The Shen family is betting on Zhou Zhida, so Jiyun and I are naturally their enemies. Of course they want to suppress Jiyun. If they embarrass me, they will naturally embarrass Jiyun."
"I did think I should talk to Shen Yaozhi about this, but after lunch that day, I changed my mind."
Jin Jun pounded the mattress angrily: "I shouldn't have told her. Isn't she just taking advantage of her power to bully others?"
