You Can’t Have The Best of Both Worlds

The old lady carried the cooked glutinous rice balls upstairs. Xu Qianqian sat on the yoga mat in the bedroom and practiced pregnant women’s yoga. This was an emerging way for pregnant women to exercise. It was said that if they persisted in training every day during their pregnancy, not only would it be good for the child in their stomach, but it would also maintain their figures so that their figures would not go out of shape after giving birth.

A woman like Xu Qianqian, who cared about appearances, naturally wanted to try it. However, although this yoga action was not difficult, it was still very tiring to move with her heavy stomach.

The old lady knocked on the door. When she heard music coming from inside, she knew that Xu Qianqian was practicing yoga. She immediately pushed the door open.

“Qianqian, Mom cooked glutinous rice balls with peanut filling for you.” The old lady entered the room with a smile.

!!

Because Wang Yunzhong lent Wang Yunfa money for reconciliation, Xu Qianqian was angry for a few days. The old lady also knew that Xu Qianqian was unhappy because of her youngest son, so she had been taking care of her more meticulously recently.

When Xu Qianqian heard the voice, she stopped what she was doing. Then, she casually turned off the music and picked up a towel to wipe the thin sweat on her face.

Seeing this, the old lady quickly put the glutinous rice balls aside and went forward to help Xu Qianqian stand up. However, she didn’t forget to remind her, “Qianqian, you’re pregnant. Don’t always move around. It’s safer to lie down.”

“Mom, it’s good for a pregnant woman to move more. The doctor said so too,” Xu Qianqian said.

As the old lady handed the glutinous rice balls to her, she said, “Then go out for a walk in the morning and at night. Mom’s afraid that with the kind of yoga you’re doing, where you’re clasping hands and stretching legs, it’ll hurt you! It’s good to take a walk and even breathe fresh air. This is a high-class villa area, and the environment is good.”

When Xu Qianqian heard this, she nodded. “I understand, Mom. By the way, Yunzhong doesn’t have time today. Mom, accompany me to the prenatal education class in the afternoon?”

“Alright, Mom will accompany you!” The old lady agreed. The old lady rarely objected to Xu Qianqian’s request.

When she came out of Xu Qianqian’s room, Xu Qianqian’s cloakroom was opposite her. Coincidentally, the door was open. The old lady couldn’t help but sigh.

Ever since she got pregnant, Xu Qianqian rarely had the chance to go out, let alone dress up. However, the cloakroom in front of her still had to be tidied up every few days. Otherwise, it would be a mess.

The old lady was already used to it. In the past, the nanny would tidy up. Thinking that the nanny was not around, she went in and helped tidy up.

The cloakroom belonged to Xu Qianqian alone. It had all her clothes. Of course, Wang Yunzhong gave most of them to her when they were dating before. They were all branded. Some of them even had tags and had never been worn.

She threw the dirty clothes Xu Qianqian had changed out of into the dirty clothes basket and hung up the clothes she did not wear.

Before leaving, the old lady saw an exquisite bag at the entrance of the cloakroom and couldn’t help but go forward to look.

There was a leather bag in the bag. The old lady did not recognize the brand, but it was obvious that she had bought it recently because the shopping receipt from the mall was still there.

The old lady took it out and looked at it for a long time before seeing the date on it. She bought it last night.

Looking at the price, the old lady immediately widened her eyes. Twenty-six thousand yuan!

Such a bag cost twenty-six thousand yuan? Moreover, Xu Qianqian already had many bags. There was a special place for bags in this cloakroom. There were at least ten bags!

If every one of them was so expensive, Xu Qianqian’s bags alone would cost a few hundred thousand yuan?

The old lady was angry, but she could not flare up. She immediately put the bag back and went downstairs angrily.

Wang Yunzhong had just finished his meal and was about to go to work when the old lady stopped him. Wang Yunzhong looked at his mother in surprise and subconsciously asked, “What’s wrong, Mom? Did Qianqian throw a tantrum again?”

Since Xu Qianqian was upstairs, the old lady didn’t hold it in. She said, “I was tidying up Qianqian’s cloakroom just now and saw a bag she bought yesterday. Twenty-six thousand yuan! You spent twenty-six thousand yuan to buy her a bag?”

Wang Yunzhong couldn’t help but smile indifferently when he heard that. Then, he explained, “Mom! It was Christmas yesterday. I gave her a gift! Qianqian likes to buy bags. I’m just trying to make her happy.”

“What festival is that?” The old lady was confused. She had never heard of this festival.

Wang Yunzhong shook his head helplessly. “It’s Christmas, the Spring Festival in the West. Young people like to join in the fun.”

“Oh, you mean you understand the festivities in China so well that you’re even joining in the fun of the festivals in the west?!” The old lady said impatiently, “Besides, even if it’s a festive occasion, you don’t have to buy such an expensive bag! Isn’t that just to pack something when going out? A bag costs tens of thousands of yuan. Even if you have money, this isn’t the way to spend it!”

“This is considered cheap! Mom, girls use bags to match their clothes when they go out. It’s not like what you’re talking about. Qianqian cares about it. It’s fine as long as she’s happy!” Wang Yunzhong said. He also wanted to make Xu Qianqian happy, so he brought her out on a date alone for Christmas yesterday and even gave her a bag as a gift.

Moreover, he had achieved his goal. Xu Qianqian was indeed very happy yesterday.

However, while Xu Qianqian was happy, the old lady was unhappy. When she heard this, she glared at him. “What? This is considered cheap?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady punched Wang Yunzhong’s arm angrily. She gritted her teeth and said, “You’re really willing to spend money! She didn’t even eat the bird’s nest that cost over ten thousand yuan and let me give it to Xiao Xia by mistake! She slowly filled the cloakroom with clothes, but some tags haven’t been removed! Over ten bags aren’t enough for her to carry, but you still bought them for her! How much money can you earn to raise her?”

In her anger, the old lady blurted out, “Before the divorce, Chunfen never wasted money like this. She knew it was not easy for you to earn money!”

Hearing the old lady mention Jiang Chunfen, Wang Yunzhong’s expression changed slightly.

Yes, Jiang Chunfen would never ask him for these superficial things. Even if she liked them, she would buy them herself and never let him fork out money. The two of them started their business together from the beginning, so she naturally knew that today’s success was not easy. Every cent was earned painstakingly.

However… It was too late, right?

The old lady finally realized that she had said something wrong and was momentarily speechless. Looking at Wang Yunzhong’s slightly changed expression, she panicked again, afraid that Wang Yunzhong would be angry.

However, Wang Yunzhong said nothing. He only said, “But your daughter-in-law is Qianqian now. You can’t expect everyone to be as virtuous as Chunfen!”

Back then, he thought he had made the right choice between Jiang Chunfen’s virtuousness and Xu Qianqian’s youth and beauty because he thought he could not have both.

However, looking at Jiang Chunfen now, Wang Yunzhong knew he was wrong. The virtuous Jiang Chunfen could become beautiful. She was so beautiful that she was dazzling.
