Chapter 385 Introduction

Zhong Meilan was very angry. She didn't care about the Zhong family's affairs, but she was generous to a divorced ex-wife!

Fortunately, they were separated. Otherwise, Gu Jingyan would be even more obsessed with the little goblin. Where would there be a place for her in the future?

Early in the morning, Zhong Meilan came to the old house.

The old lady was particularly dissatisfied with her about the birthday banquet. She had been very low-key this month. In addition to condolences to the injured guests on the day of the birthday banquet, she also went to the old house to admit her mistakes and apologize.

But the old lady didn't want to see her. Every time she came, she would either stay behind closed doors or not talk much when she saw her.

Zhong Meilan's ability to marry into the Gu family was not only related to her pregnancy before marriage, but also to her perseverance.

After she got pregnant, the old lady didn't relent at first, but Zhong Meilan had perseverance and patience. She came to the old house every day, either bringing tea and water, asking for help, weeding, fertilizing, and feeding horses and fish.

Mr. Gu was soft-hearted. As time went by, he also felt that it was not easy for a woman to have a child, not to mention that it would damage her reputation. Moreover, such a stalemate was not good for the Gu family's reputation. After several persuasion, the old lady relaxed. Agree on this marriage.

Now thirty years later, Zhong Meilan has resumed her old tricks. When she arrived at her old house, she took the initiative to help fertilize and weed the vegetable garden.

However, back then she was eager to marry into the Gu family and rise to the top at one step, so no matter how dirty or tiring the work was, she did not despise it; but now, after having lived in the Gu family for twenty or thirty years, she naturally despises these dirty and tiring jobs.

She didn't even understand the old lady's habit of planting fruits and vegetables in such a large manor and fertilizing and weeding herself every week instead of enjoying her peaceful life.

Zhong Meilan said she wanted to help fertilize, but when she got to the vegetable garden, she asked the workers at home to put on two layers of masks and three layers of gloves for her.

In summer, there are many mosquitoes in the vegetable garden. Zhong Meilan frowned and dodged around, holding a watering can for fertilizing, but she didn't spray a few plants for a long time.

The old lady saw this scene from afar. She ignored Zhong Meilan and took the scissors to the other side to pinch the tips of the tomatoes.

When Zhong Meilan saw the old lady, she immediately followed her with a watering can, "Mom, let the people below do this kind of rough work."

The old lady avoided her hand and said calmly, "I naturally have to do it myself in my own vegetable garden, so that if a tree is crooked or broken, it can be straightened and uprooted in time."

These words seemed to be talking about plants, but Zhong Meilan always felt that there was some metaphorical meaning.

With a stern expression on her face, she held the watering can and whispered, "Mom, I went to visit the guests who were injured at the birthday banquet yesterday, and they have almost recovered."

The old lady said nothing.

Zhong Meilan continued, "Mom, recently my friends have introduced me to many daughters with good conditions. I was thinking that Jingyan has been divorced for a while, so should he consider having a girlfriend? Our family is thin, so he should get married as soon as possible. You can feel at ease now that the branches are blooming.”

"Okay," the old lady said calmly without raising her head, "As long as Jingyan agrees, I have no problem."

Chung Mei-lan…

She just couldn't do Gu Jingyan's job, so she came to the old lady and wanted her to put pressure on Gu Jingyan.

As a result, the old lady threw the ball back again.

Zhong Meilan hopes that Gu Jingyan will find a wealthy daughter who can be controlled by her and has status. Firstly, he can help Gu Jingyan in his career. Secondly, he can help her in the future and protect the Zhong family's business.

Qiao Ruoxing finally got out of the trap, so naturally she couldn't wait to put her own people in place.

"Mom, you also know that Jingyan has a stubborn temper, but he listens to you. As long as you say it, he will definitely agree."

The old lady lowered her eyes and asked, "How long has Jingyan been divorced?"

Zhong Meilan was startled, "Almost, two months."

"It's been two months. It's been almost two months since my mother-in-law passed away, and she hasn't even passed the filial piety period."

Zhong Meilan frowned and whispered, "Jingyan has divorced Qiao Ruoxing, so he shouldn't keep this period of filial piety."

The old lady gave her a cold look, "It's his business whether he should keep it or not. Do you have a clear conscience?"

Zhong Meilan's face changed slightly, "Mom, what do you mean?"

The old lady did not answer, but asked, "How many years has Qingjiang been gone?"

Zhong Meimei pursed her lips and said, "Sixteen years."

"Sixteen years, seven months and nine days." The old lady said calmly, "I left on New Year's Eve."

Zhong Meilan looked a little sad and whispered, "Yes, it's been so many years."

The old lady said, "You haven't remarried in sixteen years, but you want Jingyan to find a new love just two months after the divorce. As a mother, have you considered his feelings?"

Zhong Meilan's expression changed, "Mom, how can this be the same? How many years have I been in a relationship with Qing Jiang? He and Qiao Ruoxing divorced, and he agreed to it himself."

The old lady glanced at her and said, "You and Qing Jiang have such a deep relationship. Where were you when the lab caught fire?"

Zhong Meilan's heart tightened and she was about to cry, "Mom, are you still blaming me?"

The old lady put down the scissors and said calmly, "Qingjiang asked me to treat you well, and I will do as he wishes. You don't want to remarry and want to stay in the Gu family, and I agree, but you'd better not stretch your hands too long. .

Jingyan, you have neither raised nor educated him, so why are you dictating his marriage now? Who he likes and who he wants to marry is his business. You should not use his marriage to satisfy your own desires. "

"mom--"

The old lady interrupted her coldly, "I'm tired, you should go back and don't spoil my vegetables."

Zhong Meilan looked ugly, but finally put down the watering can and left with a cold face.

Aunt Qin consoled her, "Madam, we are a family after all..."

Uncle Qin interrupted her and said to the old lady, "Madam, the tea is ready."

The old lady nodded, took off her gloves, and left the vegetable garden.

Uncle Qin said to Aunt Qin, "Don't speak for others, the old lady is as clear as a mirror."

Aunt Qin sighed, "I just feel sorry for Jingyan and I'm afraid he will be embarrassed."

Uncle Qin patted her shoulder.

As soon as Zhong Meilan left the manor, she received a call from Gu Jingyang.

"Mom, did you make an appointment with my brother? Aunt Song and Sister Jiayu are coming soon."

Zhong Meilan's expression eased a little, "I'll call him now. When they come later, you can entertain them first and tell them that I will be there soon."

"Got it."

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Meilan called Gu Jingyan.

Gu Jingyan didn't sleep much last night. He only slept for a while in the rest room in the morning. When he saw Zhong Meilan's call, he threw the phone to Lin Shu and asked him to help answer it.

Lin Shu took the phone and answered it.

"Hello."

"Why is it you? Where is Jingyan?"

Lin Shu said skillfully, "Mr. Gu is in a meeting. Is there anything for Madam?"

Zhong Meilan may not understand Gu Jingyan's preferences, but she definitely understands Gu Jingyan's temper.

If Gu Jingyan is in a meeting, he will let her keep calling and let Lin Shu answer the phone, probably because he doesn't want to hear her voice.

So she said directly, "Let Jingyan answer the phone."

Lin Shu said, "It's the same if Madam tells me something. I'll help you convey it."
