The person Zhuo Ling is most worried about is actually her sister-in-law. She is only in her early forties. She usually takes good care of herself and looks like she is in her early thirties. But during this time, she suddenly became quite haggard.
Ning Ning is still young and not very sensible. After the initial pain has passed, she can still greet every day with laughter and laughter; while Fang Ting is equivalent to losing her husband in middle age. People say that losing her husband in middle age is the most important thing in life. One of the misfortunes is that while she was suffering the pain of losing her husband, she also had to bear the pain of her parents-in-law and her natal family. She had no one to talk to, and she had to control all the affairs of the family. There were seniors, juniors, and seniors. She had A husband means there is no husband.
She has lost count of how many times she has cried secretly under the covers in lonely dark nights. She hopes that her husband will wake up and continue to live a life of mutual affection with her. But this is impossible. Her husband is a vegetative state. I can only lie quietly on the hospital bed and rely on instruments and drugs to maintain my abnormal life.
Her days were like years, and she burst into tears when she thought of her husband. But she had to continue living.
"Sister-in-law, you have to take care of yourself." Zhuo Ling said with concern.
Fang Ting smiled gently. "Okay. I will."
Cai Nianlan coughed lightly. "Ahem, Fang Ting. Give me a bowl of soup. My throat is a little uncomfortable."
Fang Ting quickly stood up. "Okay."
The meal was extremely embarrassing. Nanxi didn't eat anything at all. Every member of the Zhuo family was smellier than the other. The youngest daughter always made nasty remarks to her. She couldn't eat anything.
As soon as he finished eating, Zhuo Ling couldn't wait to leave. "Dad, aunt, sister-in-law, then we... will leave first."
When Zhuo Wannian heard that they were leaving, he felt nervous. But he remained calm and said unhurriedly: "Zhuo Ling, wait. I have something else to tell you. Come with me to the study." While speaking, he secretly winked at Cai Nianlan beside him.
Cai Nianlan nodded silently and became friendly for the first time. "Come on. Nan Xi, come here. Zhuo Ling and his father are going to the study. Just come and sit with me for a while."
Of course Zhuo Ling is worried. Who knows what bad tricks Cai Nianlan will use.
Cai Nianlan sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "Zhuo Ling, I know you are worried. But here are your sister-in-law, Ning Ning, and the servants. What will I do to Nan Xi? Don't worry. What? He said that I have raised you for several years. You are Wannian's biological son, that is, my son. I will not do anything bad to your people."
Zhuo Ling was still worried. He knew very well what Cai Nianlan was doing. Zhuo Wannian had already gone upstairs and was waiting for him. The servants were all watching. He was really in trouble.
Fang Ting saw Zhuo Ling's dilemma. She stood up and said, "Uncle, dad is waiting for you. Come up quickly. Let's chat with Nan Xi."
Zhuo Ling took a deep look at Nan Xi. "Then you just sit down there for a while. I'll be down soon."
The living room was very quiet. Ning Ning was leisurely watching TV. She was at home, very comfortable and casual. The person who felt uncomfortable was Nan Xi.
Fang Ting brought out the fruit. "Nan Xi, eat some sweet orange. It's delicious."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." In this family, this sister-in-law is the only one who is friendlier.
Cai Nianlan had a purpose. Zhuo Wannian was just looking for an excuse to send Zhuo Ling away. The real purpose was what she wanted to say to Nan Xi. "Miss He." She called Nan Xi Miss He again. A simple The title clearly reveals the relationship between the two.
Nan Xi straightened her body and became inexplicably nervous.
"Hehehe. When did you and Zhuo Ling start? Why did you come home now?"
Nanxi moved uncomfortably into the sofa. "It's autumn, maybe. There isn't much time. He's always very busy at work."
Cai Nianlan pretended to be confused and asked: "Autumn. Oh, that means the things reported in the gossip magazines are not scandals. They are true."
Nanxi was extremely uneasy and embarrassed. "Well..."
Cai Nianlan had no intention of beating around the bush. She said directly: "Miss He, what we Ning Ning said at the door before was unpleasant, but it was not a lie. You should know that you are not worthy of Zhuo Ling."
Zhuo Ning, who had been watching TV, couldn't help but turn to this side. She raised her chin arrogantly. Now her grandma helped her. Her eyes became even more arrogant.
Fang Ting was a little worried. However, she didn't interrupt after all.
Cai Nianlan continued: "Miss He, maybe our Zhuoling has something to hide from you. In fact... he was engaged three years ago. But his fiancée has been studying in Singapore."
There was a bang. Nanxi's eyes widened. She froze as if struck by lightning. The air around her froze. She even found it difficult to breathe. "What...what did you say."
Nan Xi was not the only one who was surprised. Even Zhuo Ning was also surprised. "Grandma, you mean sister An Qi. She is not..."
Before she finished speaking, her mouth was covered by Fang Ting. Fang Ting pulled her daughter to stand up and said, "Children, don't interrupt when adults are talking. Let's go to the kitchen and help mother."
"Hey, mom, don't pull me. I won't go."
Fang Ting forced her daughter to go to the kitchen. She heard about this from her mother-in-law. In order to consolidate Zhuoling's position in the world, her father-in-law wanted Zhuoling to remarry with the eldest lady of the jewelry family An's Enterprise. Moreover, I heard that Miss An agreed this time.
Only Cai Nianlan and Nan Xi were left in the living room. Nan Xi felt deeply stressed. "Aunt, stop joking. Zhuo Ling won't lie to me..." She smiled bitterly. "What do I have to lie to? Like Ning Ning said it. I have no money, and my family background is not good. There is nothing in me that Zhuo Ling can use. Even if it is my body, he does not lack me. Are you right?"
Cai Nianlan "tsk-tsk" shook her head. She looked down upon the girl in front of her. In her eyes, Nan Xi was just as despicable as Ling Qiufeng. Children born to despicable women would like despicable women. It was destined by God. If it weren't for Zhuo Wannian's wisdom Yun's position was negotiated with her, but she didn't bother to care.
"Miss He. After all, you are still young and don't know enough about men. So let me tell you now. No man is not lustful. Men cannot resist temptation. Look at your beautiful little face. It's our Zhuo Ling. The type he likes. What a glorious past Zhuo Ling had. You can just browse the earlier webpage. He has never been short of women. When he gets tired of playing with models and singers, he just plays with you. New taste. "
"Stop talking." Nan Xi interrupted. "Don't slander Zhuo Ling like this. He is not the kind of person you see."
Cai Nianlan looked confident of winning. "Then what kind of person do you think he is... Haha. Miss He, don't be naive. He will not marry you. His fiancée has a family background that is not inferior to that of the Zhuo family. All fools know how to choose. Zhuo Ling is not a fool. A man's success is based on his career. His fiancée can help her make her career bigger and stronger. What can you do for him... Of course. Since Zhuo Ling Bringing you home means that he really likes you. As his aunt, I don't mind you being his woman. Anyway, having a mistress is something that has happened in the Zhuo family."
