Chapter 63: Insignificant People (13)
"Yes, you said it was in the past. Besides, your son and his mistress are so wicked. Why did they choose to live together, but they chose to live across from his ex-wife's house? Do you really think I'm easy to bully? Reconciliation is impossible in this lifetime."
Lan Jin finished speaking and hung up the phone. Ren Siqiao, who was sitting on the sofa eating snacks, noticed that Lan Jin's tone was not right when she called, and immediately asked, "Mom, who is it?"
"Your grandma is not an important person."
After listening to Lan Jin, Ren Siqiao nodded calmly, and then continued to eat the snacks in his hand without any concern.
But after finishing the snacks in his mouth, Ren Siqiao said, "Mom, grandma is not nice. Qiaoqiao doesn't like it."
Lan Jin was stunned and asked, "Why doesn't Qiao Qiao like grandma? You have never seen grandma."
That's right, Ren Siqiao had never met this grandmother, and she seldom called her because every time she called, Ren's mother's attitude was not only lukewarm, but she also always hung up the phone impatiently. After a long time, anyone could feel that this attitude was not right, so naturally they were unwilling to call again.
As for meeting or visiting, that never happened.
It's not that she doesn't want to, but that other people don't want to see her. After her wedding with Ren Xing, they didn't see each other again until Ren Siqiao was almost three years old. During this period, she wanted to take the initiative to visit, but other people's parents always found excuses to prevent her from visiting. In this situation, how much affection could there be between them?
But Ren's mother is really good to her son. Ren Xing doesn't have a stable job, so his living expenses are always received on time every month. It is 20,000 yuan a month, no matter whether it is enough or not, it is 20,000 yuan anyway.
Moreover, none of the money was used for her and her child. She had always raised her child by herself, so Lan Jin didn't feel that she owed anything to Ren's mother. She was just a stranger, so naturally, she didn't need to be particularly nice to her.
As for what she and her children eat——
Lan Jin herself has a job, and 8,000 yuan a month is considered a medium salary. There is no pressure to support herself and her child. As for savings, the money from the rental of the two properties under her name has been basically saved, so she has never been short of money.
But Ren's mother disliked her, so what did she mean by calling Meng Ying so affectionately in front of her? Was she supporting Meng Ying? If she continued to make this call, she would be crazy.
She would never try to please Ren's mother before, and now that Ren Xing is gone, she will do so even less.
As for Ren Siqiao, after thinking for a moment, he replied, "Yes, I have seen him before, when I was with my father and aunt. Grandma doesn't like me."
Although she didn't hit or scold him, and her attitude wasn't particularly bad, it was the indifference that was the most infuriating. Lan Jin said, "If you don't like her, then don't like her. My Qiao Qiao is the best child in the world. As long as Mom likes her, that's enough. I don't need those insignificant people to like her."
Ren Siqiao felt that he was being comforted and said, "Hee, Mom, where's Dad? When will he throw him away?"
Lan Jin said, "It's only been a few days, and the neighbors are already occupied, so it's even more inconvenient to throw it away. Let's wait until later. Just pretend she doesn't exist, Qiao Qiao."
Ren Siqiao looked a little unhappy, but still listened to Lan Jin, "Okay, Mom."
…
The other side.
After Lan Jin hung up on Ren's mother, she called Meng Ying again.
She said, "I just asked Lan Jin, Ah Xing didn't go to her place."
Meng Ying said in disbelief, "Impossible! He's been out for a week and his phone has been turned off. Why would he turn it off if it wasn't to avoid me?"
Ren's mother paused and said, "No, from the way Lan Jin spoke, it's impossible for her to get back together with Ah Xing. I guess Ah Xing really didn't go to her place."
But if that's the case, it's strange. Where is Ren Xing? How could someone just disappear suddenly? Meng Ying said, "Auntie, do you know Lan Jin's address? I want to go over and see it with my own eyes. If Ah Xing really wants to get back together with her, I won't stop him, but he has to let me give up. But if someone disappears, I can't just leave them like that."
Ren's mother had never really cared about the house under Lan Jin's name, but she knew the addresses of several of her own homes and immediately told them to Meng Ying.
Among these three addresses, one is right across from her house, while the other two properties are quite far away from them. Without the restoration of traffic, they cannot be reached on foot. Therefore, it is impossible for Ren Xing to go to the other two addresses to look for Lan Jin. In other words, if Lan Jin did not lie, then Ren Xing really got lost when he went out.
But when Meng Ying came back to her senses, she recalled a key point in the words just now.
Lan Jin's phone could be reached, and since Ren's mother could reach Lan Jin's phone, it meant that Lan Jin had simply blocked her and had not changed her number, so if she changed her number, she might be able to contact Lan Jin.
Without wasting a moment, Meng Ying borrowed a cell phone from her roommate and called Lan Jin directly.
Lan Jin looked at the unfamiliar number calling her phone and knew it was Meng Ying without a second thought. She didn't even answer the call, but hung up and added the number to her blacklist.
Meng Ying was so angry when she heard the call being hung up that she threw her phone to the ground. However, she forgot that the phone was not hers at all. As the phone was thrown into pieces, the woman who borrowed the phone immediately complained, "Are you sick? Why did you throw my phone in a rage? It's really unrewarding for kindness. I lent you my phone and you smashed it like this. No, you have to compensate me for it."
After the woman finished speaking, she grabbed Meng Ying's arm and wouldn't let go, and her attitude made it seem as if she was saying that this matter would not be over until she paid for it.
As Meng Ying threw the phone away, she regretted it because she had forgotten that it wasn't hers. She said, "When I can afford a phone, I'll buy you one."
"No, who knows when I can buy a phone? I can't pay for it now. I don't care. I want the phone."
"But it's not for sale right now. Where can I buy you a replacement phone?"
"You know that mobile phones are not sold now, so you still threw my phone. I don't care. I want the phone now. I finally got the signal and network restored. I rely on them to make a living. What should I do if you break it?" The woman immediately became relentless, but to be honest, there was nothing wrong with her behavior after all.
Seeing this, several people living together also felt that Meng Ying's behavior was wrong, so they did not go up to persuade her. For a while, the two quarreled fiercely in the living room. Finally, the two of them decided that Meng Ying would compensate the woman with her mobile phone.
Meng Ying's cell phone was a new one she had just bought before the poisonous fog arrived. It was worth more than 10,000 yuan and was exactly the same model as the woman's cell phone. It was reasonable to compensate the woman with this phone.
