Worrying

When the old lady heard Wang Yunzhong’s words, she immediately wanted to explain, “That’s not what I mean… I…”

“Alright, Mom.” Wang Yunzhong interrupted the old lady’s endless nagging and said impatiently, “I know what you mean, but this is how I interact with Qianqian. I’ve been like this since we were together. Now that Qianqian and I are married, and she’s my wife, it’s not wrong for me to spend the money I earn on her. Don’t keep finding trouble for yourself.”

“If you feel unbalanced, tell me what you want. I’ll also give you a gold necklace and a gold bracelet.”

Wang Yunzhong’s words rendered the old lady speechless. Moreover, she could tell that Wang Yunzhong was a little angry. When she heard this, she quickly nodded. “Alright, Mom is talking too much. You can spend the money you earned on whoever you want.”

!!

Wang Yunzhong snorted softly. He casually picked up his briefcase and left the house without looking back.

The old lady stood there for a long time, feeling jealous. She felt she was doing this for her son’s good, but her son did not appreciate it and even felt that she had crossed the line.

She couldn’t help but feel wronged. She walked to the sofa alone and silently touched her tears.

The old man had been listening and said nothing just now. He felt that the old lady’s talkativeness had to be treated. Unexpectedly, Wang Yunzhong’s words agitated the old lady somehow, making her cry.

“Why are you crying?” The old man sighed and asked the old lady.

The old lady felt wronged and said, “Yunzhong’s temper has been getting worse these days. When we lived in South City in the past, I’ve never seen him dare to talk to me like this.”

“Your words are unpleasant. Yunzhong is just correcting you. What do you have to feel wronged about?” the old man said.

“I’m doing this for his own good? Qianqian only goes out a few times a week. Besides, she’s pregnant now, so she doesn’t take her bag when she goes out. A bag costs tens of thousands of yuan. How much money does everything cost?” The old lady’s heart ached when she mentioned it. To her, spending her son’s money was equivalent to spending her money.

Only a mother would feel this way.

“Alright, don’t interrupt Yunzhong’s matters in the future. He’s already an adult in his forties. Doesn’t he have financial freedom? You saw this now. When you didn’t see it in the past, who knows how much money he spent on Qianqian? If you have to worry about this too, can you handle it?”

“I…”

The old man quickly raised his hand to interrupt. “Let’s not talk about this. Yunfa’s side is almost done. Xiao Xia is pregnant and can’t serve him. Make something delicious for lunch today and send it to him to see him as well. He’s probably thinner now.”

“Are you eating at home alone at noon?” the old lady asked.

The old man: “Just leave a bite for me after you’re done.”

The old lady nodded. “Alright, I’ll be back after looking. Qianqian still has a prenatal education class in the afternoon, so she asked me to accompany her.”

At this point, the old lady couldn’t help but complain again. “I don’t know what’s the use of that class. A group of pregnant women doesn’t stay at home and recuperate. Why would they listen to the teachers’ nonsense? One lesson costs a few hundred yuan. They have so much money that they have nowhere to spend it.”

The old man couldn’t help but glare at her and remind her, “Look at you. You’re starting again, right? Don’t interfere in their matters in the future. You’re worrying too much!”

When the old lady saw she had angered the old man again, she immediately stopped talking and stood up to wash the dishes in the kitchen.

…

Jian Ai didn’t sleep well last night, mainly because she had too many things on her mind.

Other than the High Priest, she was still thinking about herself and Ji Haoyu the most. Fortunately, she slept for two to three hours more in the morning now that the martial arts school was on break. Otherwise, she would have been dizzy again.

When she arrived at school with Si Yue, she bumped into Guan Tao at the bus stop. Compared to Jian Ai’s dispirited state, Guan Tao was in high spirits. Her date with Gao Yang yesterday must have gone smoothly.

“Xiao Ai! Si Yue!” Seeing Jian Ai, Guan Tao couldn’t help but run forward. She naturally held Jian Ai’s arm and smiled. “You’re early today!”

“The martial arts school is on break, so we’re a little earlier than usual,” Jian Ai said and couldn’t help but ask casually, “Look at how happy you are. Did the ice lanterns in Baiyun Square look good last night?”

“It’s beautiful! It’s especially lively with so many people!” Guan Tao said excitedly, “But we didn’t see the fireworks. They said that they wouldn’t be released until midnight. It was too late, so we didn’t wait!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Guan Tao looked at Jian Ai and asked, “What about you? Was the party fun?”

Fun?

Jian Ai couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Someone almost died. Who still remembered that it was a Christmas party last night?

“Something happened yesterday. Grandpa Ji suddenly fell ill, and the party didn’t go smoothly,” Jian Ai said ambiguously. She couldn’t say that Grandpa Ji almost died as it was impolite.

“Ah…” Guan Tao sighed regretfully. “That’s a pity. Is the old man okay?”

“It was a close call,” Jian Ai said.

Guan Tao pursed her lips and nodded. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly saw many people surrounding the school gate. They were all students from Erzhong.

Jian Ai also saw it. She was a little taller than Guan Tao, so she saw the scene inside from the gaps.

Eh? Jian Yiyi?

“Why is she back?” Jian Ai subconsciously asked.

Jian Yiyi and Xia Qinghuan were in the same production team. They only came back once during filming, and that was during the mid-term examination.

“Jian Yiyi?” Guan Tao tiptoed and saw Jian Yiyi.

Jian Yiyi was surrounded by crowds. These high school students paid attention to entertainment news every day. Jian Yiyi benefited from the production team of ‘Interweaving Night’ that occasionally, she would show her face in an entertainment magazine. After a while, everyone in the school knew that she had made a movie.

When she returned from the previous examination, Qinghuan caused a huge commotion. Now that Xia Qinghuan was not stealing the limelight, Jian Yiyi became the only one. Everyone surrounded her and asked for her autograph.

“Do they have to be so exaggerated? She’s not famous yet, right?” Guan Tao scoffed. She also chased after celebrities, so she understood fans’ mentality.

‘Interweaving Night’ had not been broadcasted yet. Why were these people joining in the fun?

Jian Ai smiled indifferently. Perhaps to these high school students, they considered those who had been on an entertainment magazine as celebrities.

Moreover, it was understandable to ask for an autograph before she became famous. If she became famous in the future, they might not get it.

At this moment, Guan Tao pulled Jian Ai and suddenly quickened her pace. She said, “Xiao Ai, let’s go back to class and look. Perhaps Qinghuan is back too!”
