Shen Man shook her head slightly, hinting her not to throw a tantrum at Lu Zhi.
It was not worth it if it was for her.
However, Jiang Yining didn’t even look at her. She grabbed her wrist forcefully and walked towards the main entrance of the villa.
After personally sending Shen Man to the door, Jiang Yining smiled brightly and said, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll definitely eat these tonics properly, your kindness is appreciated.”
The tears that Shen Man had been holding back for a long time streamed down.
“Yining, you’re a good child. Unfortunately, I’m not a good mother. You’d better try not to interact with me in the future.”
She was thinking for Jiang Yining.
After all, Lu Zhi had a strong resentment against her, and it was deeply rooted.
If Jiang Yining continued to hang out with her, it would only ruin their relationship.
Jiang Yining’s heart skipped a beat. It was not easy for Shen Man to loosen her attitude towards her, and now she had to go back to square one.
Then wouldn’t everything she had done be in vain?
Jiang Yining quickly said, “Mom, it’s my business to hang out with you. It has nothing to do with him. If he wants to leave me because of this, then I don’t want such a husband.”
“You…”
Shen Man’s eyes were red and her lips were trembling.
She didn’t expect Jiang Yining to treat her so well.
Jiang Yining held her hand and said, “Alright, Mom, don’t think too much. Hurry up and go back.”
Shen Man had a lot of things to say.
But in the end…
She did not say anything.
She turned around and got into the car.
Jiang Yining stood still and waved at her.
Tears flowed down Shen Man’s eyes, but she forced a smile.
Jiang Yining watched her leave before returning to the villa.
As soon as Jiang Yining stepped into the living room, she saw Lu Zhi sitting on the sofa with a cold expression and a tight jaw.
He would only show such an expression when he was enraged.
Jiang Yining pretended not to see him.
She walked towards the stairs, planning to put all these tonics in her room so that he wouldn’t throw them away secretly.
However, after taking a few steps, Lu Zhi’s deep voice rang out from the living room. “Jiang Yining, you know the grudge between us. Why are you still so nice to her?”
Lu Zhi did not understand. She was so smart and flexible in other matters, but she was so stubborn when it came to his mother.
Jiang Yining walked up to him and said, “She’s not only your mother, but also my mother-in-law. As long as the Lu family doesn’t chase her out, we have to live under the same roof as her. Lu Zhi, I know that she has done something to hurt you. I won’t persuade you to forgive her. I won’t interfere with how you treat her. However, there is no grudge between me and her. She has never done anything to let me down, and she even took good care of me.”
“As your wife and the Young Mistress of the Lu family, I need to maintain our relationship on the surface. I can not make our relationship go out of control.”
“If I speak ill and target her in every way like you, have you thought about how others will view me when I need to attend events with her in the future?”
Jiang Yining sat beside him gently.
She lowered her head slightly and said, “Lu Zhi, I’m different from you. You have the support of the entire Lu family, and no one can control you no matter what you do. But for me, a bottomless abyss is right behind. Please think about me too.”
Jiang Yining’s tone was downcast when she was finishing her sentence.
Lu Zhi’s anger had already reached its peak. Seeing her aggrieved look, he began to reflect on himself.
Had he gone too far?
He didn’t consider things from her perspective.
The two of them were silent for a moment…
He reached out and patted her head. “I’m not asking you to be mean to her. I just want you to keep your distance from her.”
“Yes, I know.” Jiang Yining leaned her little head on his shoulder. “It’s just that we’re both in the Lu family and we see each other often. Many things are unavoidable.”
Lu Zhi remained silent.
Jiang Yining said softly, “I’ll try to keep a distance from her in the future. Lu Zhi, promise me that you won’t care about how I interact with your mother, okay?”
Her long and thick eyelashes fluttered as she blinked.
She looked at him expectantly.
Lu Zhi paused for a moment and gave up his insistence. He said calmly, “Alright.”
Jiang Yining made a V sign of victory in her heart!
However, she pretended to be reserved and smiled slightly. She flattered, “You’re such a good person, Lu Zhi. The wife you marry in the future will definitely be the happiest person in the world!”
The corners of Lu Zhi’s lips curled up.
Oh yeah!
The crisis was completely resolved!
Jiang Yining immediately changed the topic. “By the way, Elder Tao called me over today.”
She told him everything that had happened at the Tao family’s house.
When Lu Zhi found out Elder Tao was willing to use the Tao Group’s shares and a profitable subsidiary as a condition for the peace talks, he said indifferently, “He’s really invested a lot.”
However, he didn’t think much of it.
If the Tao family refused to take the initiative to reconcile, he would devour the entire Tao family!
At that time, everything would be his.
Why would he care about this?
“Are you going to accept it?” Jiang Yining asked.
“Yes, accept it. We’ll be busy preparing for the wedding. I don’t have the time to tangle with them.” Lu Zhi wanted to spend more time on the wedding, so it was a coincidence for the Tao family to apologize.
“Alright.”
Jiang Yining nodded.
Lu Zhi added, “If you have other conditions, add them together. If he doesn’t agree, we’ll wait until we get married before we continue fighting with him.”
Jiang Yining was speechless.
This man was really bad, taking advantage of his misfortune!
But she liked his way of doing things!
“I know what to do even without you telling me,” Jiang Yining replied with a smile.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
They were a shrewd couple.
After dinner, Qi Feng brought over the investigation report on Zhang Qiaoqiao.
Lu Zhi gave Jiang Yining a set.
According to the information, Zhang Qiaoqiao had changed her name for nearly fifteen years after moving out of the city.
As for Zhang Qiaoqiao’s daughter, her neighbor said that the child has been very sensitive since she was young because she did not have a father.
When she was in school, she got together with a male student in the same class.
She even got pregnant.
The male student did not want to take responsibility and transferred to another school.
Zhang Qiaoqiao almost beat her daughter to death.
But in the end, she still relented and kept her granddaughter.
At that time, children born out of wedlock were despised.
In addition, Zhang Qiaoqiao was the same.
The locals were very unfriendly to their family of three. They often scolded them for being indecent and promiscuous. Some bad guys even bullied them. They even tried to enter their place in the middle of the night to take advantage of them. Fortunately, they did not succeed.
After enduring the pressure for two years, Zhang Qiaoqiao was forced to move back to A-City with her daughter and granddaughter.
After that, they could no longer find any information about her..
