Chapter 120 You only remember him taking you on an electric scooter?
"A blessed person does not enter a house without blessings."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Fangqi's eyes widened in shock. Had Zhou Yanyu been possessed?
What are you saying?
Zhou Yanyu smiled and said, "What I meant was that a woman without good fortune cannot enter a blessed family."
Zhou Yanyu had given up on arguing. She couldn't get a divorce because the interests involved between them were too great to justify. However, she could afford to give up for a while.
Perhaps because of the medication, she hasn't been getting angry much these past few days.
Wen Yi'an stepped forward and asked with concern, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Zhou Yanyu has been acting strangely lately.
Zhong Fangqi said to Wen Yi'an, "Your mother hasn't been feeling well lately, help her to rest."
The old lady frowned and asked her daughter-in-law, "Have you seen a doctor?"
"I checked, and it's nothing serious."
Wen Yi'an helped Zhou Yanyu to the sunroom, and the maid brought Zhou Yanyu a glass of warm water.
Wen Yi'an pursed her lips: "Are you sad for Tan Yuan?"
Zhou Yanyu frowned, looked up at Wen Yi'an, whose eyes showed unease. She sighed, "No, I'm happy for her."
You don't have to be bothered by these things all day long.
At Hujiang, you can wear as many bracelets as you want, and as many carat diamonds as you want.
"You and A-Jing went to Jincheng. You can focus on your work and recuperate. Don't put too much pressure on yourself or get stuck on things."
Wen Yi'an's face turned pale, "If it's not properly treated..."
Zhou Yanyu frowned: "How can something not be properly cared for? You're just thinking nonsense."
——
Zhong Jing caught up with Zhong Yan and grabbed his arm: "Are you planning to transfer some of Zhong Heng Group's assets recently?"
Zhong Yan turned around and looked at her brother: "It's just risk avoidance, don't overthink it."
Zhong Jing's face was cold. "You're already thinking about severing ties with the Zhong family? You think you can? Zhong Yan, cutting off relations is impossible in reality."
Zhong Yan smiled and said, "How could that be? The Zhong family is such a powerful family. I must have accumulated good karma for several lifetimes to be born into such a family and become the second young master. How could I possibly not want it?"
Zhong Jing's expression softened a bit. "Father has already made a lot of concessions. There are many things you don't know. The Shen family has only recently made some progress, and they also have their own difficulties."
"As for Tan Yuan's father, it was also out of necessity."
Zhong Yan nodded, "We both have our own concerns, I understand."
Ji Tanyuan understood this statement, just as she had said:
I understand, but I still can't help but blame them.
None of us are saints; in fact, we are all caught up in the pursuit of fame and fortune, and when faced with these things, we are often more selfish and greedy than ordinary people.
"Where are you going so late?"
Zhong Yan: "There's a meeting, and also an overseas video conference."
After washing up, Ji Tanyuan lay in her mother's arms. It was already past midnight.
Sheng Wan asked with her eyes closed, "Zhong Yan is gone?"
Ji Tanyuan hummed in agreement, "Let's go."
Sheng Wan half-opened her eyes and glanced at Ji Tanyuan. Ji Tanyuan's hair was soft and loose, and her figure looked a bit slender, but looking down from her pajamas, she had curves in all the right places.
She was wearing a jade pendant around her neck; it was a clear, bright green and had better clarity than the one she wore before.
She looked like a brightly blooming white peony.
She has a gentle appearance, but possesses an air of wealth and luxury.
She smoothed Ji Tanyuan's hair. "The 'Nothing' badge was changed. Did Zhong Yan buy it for you?"
Ji Tanyuan looked down at the thing around her neck and hummed in response.
She wore it often at the time, especially when the two were in bed, it would dangle between her collarbones, and he said it looked very nice. So at one auction, he saw an even better one and eventually bought it for her for 101 million.
They said this one is better, much better than hers that cost tens of millions.
It is indeed very good. Ji Tanyuan has loved wearing jade since she was a child. She liked it very much after seeing it and has been wearing it ever since.
She touched it and said, "I guess we can't take this with us in a divorce."
Sheng Wan smiled and said, "What, you're reluctant to part with it?"
He paused in touching the jade, then said, "Yes, a little."
Sheng Wan: "I used to like your father a lot too. We were together from our freshman year of college until we got married. Everything was great."
After we got married, your father and I weren't exactly wealthy; we had a small company, which was pretty good. But as your father's business grew, some things gradually changed.
"After all, power is alluring. Your father and I don't come from wealthy families, and we weren't prepared to share this wealth. Our marriage has been impacted."
Ji Tanyuan: "And then?"
"That's it, Huanghuang, that's all. My memories of the past are all blurry. I know he loved me, so he didn't cheat on me, but people aren't judged by just one standard. People change, or rather, people can pretend. As money and power accumulate, their true colors are revealed more and more."
"You have to remember, are there good men in this world? Yes, but the standard for judging a good man is definitely not whether he doesn't cheat or commit domestic violence. That's just the bottom line for normal people. So when judging a person, you have to look at many aspects."
Ji Tanyuan clutched her mother's pajamas, her voice low, "Then, Mom, what do you think of Zhong Yan?"
Sheng Wan raised an eyebrow. "What do you think?"
“I don’t think he’s a normal person. Of course, it’s not about cheating or domestic violence, it’s just a very abstract kind of thing.”
“He was different from other wealthy and powerful people. He even took me on an electric scooter, which I had never ridden in before. The seat was extremely uncomfortable.”
"But there was no traffic jam that time."
Sheng Wan: "..."
She was speechless for a moment, then asked her daughter, "You only remember him taking you on a ride on an electric scooter?"
