Ch 31: Is This Really a Mother?
Jiang Zao was already used to Zheng Xiao’s behavior. Hearing the voices of many people on her end, she knew Zheng Xiao must be busy.
So she simply went straight to the point.
“Sister Xiao, I remember you have a piece of land in the South of the City, right?”
Zheng Xiao: “Yes, do you need it? I’ll have the Lawyer contact you tomorrow to handle the transfer procedures.”
This unhesitating pampering startled Lu Li, who was standing not far behind her.
Although he had only worked for Zheng Xiao for a few days, he could tell that as long as Zheng Xiao considered someone to be one of her own, she would treat them with all her heart.
It’s just that there aren’t many people who currently enjoy this kind of treatment.
Jiang Zao naturally couldn’t take Zheng Xiao’s land for nothing: “How about we cooperate? The land can be your share. Haven’t you always wanted to develop a side hustle?”
Zheng Xiao did have such an idea, but that was the her before that incident happened.
Now she just wants to get by. Apart from music and Jiang Zao, there doesn’t seem to be anything that she can take seriously.
“Okay, you decide.”
She knew it would be like this.
Jiang Zao remembered in her previous life, Zheng Xiao also lived her whole life so indifferently, truly dying alone.
“Then when do you have time, let’s meet and talk.”
Zheng Xiao said “OK.”
Then someone on the other end called out to her: “Sister Xiao, it’s your turn.”
“Okay, go and be busy.”
Jiang Zao hung up the phone and looked up to see Fu Yanci standing at the door with coffee and a fruit plate.
His hands were tense, and it could be seen that he was really trying hard to maintain his balance so that the coffee and fruit plate would not fall to the ground.
Jiang Zao got up and took it over.
“Why did you bring it? Where’s Little Chen?”
Fu Yanci insisted on holding it himself: “You have to be good to your Wife, pamper your Wife, A-Ci will bring Wife’s coffee.”
He slowly walked in and put the coffee and fruit plate on the table.
“Wife, I want to be here with you. I promise to be good and not disturb you.” He covered his mouth with his hand.
Indicating that he would be absolutely quiet.
It was still early, and it wasn’t realistic to let Fu Yanci go to sleep, and Jiang Zao didn’t feel relieved letting him go back to the room by himself.
“Okay, then find a book to read yourself.” Jiang Zao closed the door and pinched his face twice.
Everything was arranged properly, but Jiang Zao forgot that the current Fu Yanci was not the kind of person who could sit still and concentrate on reading a book.
Soon, a soft snoring sound came.
He fell asleep on the bay window.
Jiang Zao couldn’t help but laugh.
A child is a child, he just said he would accompany her.
“A-Ci?” Jiang Zao walked over and poked Fu Yanci’s face.
Fu Yanci was lying on his side with his legs curled up, one hand under his cheek, and the fingers of the other hand on his lips, his mouth slightly open, as if he was about to eat his fingers like a Lollipop at any moment.
“A-Ci, wake up, you can’t sleep here.”
“Hmm?”
Fu Yanci barely squinted his eyes.
The soul that had just floated out was sucked back in again.
“Wife… hug.”
Fu Yanci stretched out his hands in a daze and asked for a hug.
Jiang Zao hugged him once.
Just once.
“Okay, get up and go back to the room to take a shower and then sleep.”
It was more than an hour later when Jiang Zao finished bathing Fu Yanci and coaxing him to sleep.
She went back to the study and continued to work on the Project Proposal for the Theme Resort.
Fu Yanci was floating behind her.
The coffee was already cold, but the refreshing effect was still good.
Jiang Zao was so busy in the study until the second half of the night, and she didn’t know when she fell asleep on the table.
◈◈◈
When she woke up the next day, she was actually in the bedroom bed.
“Huh?”
Jiang Zao sat up, casually smoothed her hair, and was a little confused for the first time.
“Wife!”
Fu Yanci, who had already dressed himself, jumped out of the bathroom.
“Good morning, Wife.”
He showed his little white teeth, “I’ve already brushed my teeth, washed my face, and put on perfume, Wife, am I very good?”
“Yes, good.” Jiang Zao asked him: “A-Ci, how did I get back to the room to sleep?”
Fu Yanci looked dazed and shook his head: “I don’t know, Wife, didn’t you come back by yourself?”
She came back by herself?
Then why doesn’t she have any impression at all?
Jiang Zao got out of bed in doubt, went to the study first, turned on the computer, and found that the Project Proposal for the Resort had already been completed.
Detailed and straight to the point.
Many of her ideas have been improved.
Did she do all this?
Jiang Zao raised her hand and patted her forehead.
Could this be a sequelae of rebirth?
Amnesia?
After going downstairs, Jiang Zao casually stopped a Servant: “Did anyone enter my study last night?”
The Servant quickly said no: “Third Madam, we don’t dare to enter the study casually.”
The Fu Family has many rules, and the study is even more important. Even cleaning can only be done by trusted Servants who have been there for many years. Other people can’t even think about getting close.
Jiang Zao didn’t want to scare her: “It’s okay, go and be busy.”
After eating, Jiang Zao still took Fu Yanci to the company together.
The Fu Corporation employees have long been accustomed to the President and his Wife being inseparable.
“Hello, President.”
“Hello, Vice General Jiang.”
“Jiang Zao!”
The voice that called her name directly seemed particularly abrupt.
Jiang Zao turned her head and saw that Lan Yi was about to come in, but was stopped by the Security Guard at the door.
“Madam, who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?” The Security Guard was still very polite.
Lan Yi pays great attention to her image when she is outside. Her wavy long hair is slightly pulled up, and a well-fitting dress is neither too revealing nor just right to show off her still charming figure. She is carrying LV’s latest square bag, her back is straight, and her speech is gentle and confident.
“I am Jiang Zao’s mother.”
So it’s the President’s mother-in-law?
How dare this Security Guard stop her?
Lan Yi walked in on her high heels.
“Jiang Zao, I’ve been looking for you for two days. What’s wrong with you? You’ve blacklisted my phone and WeChat. We are mother and daughter, can’t we have overnight grudges?”
With her earnest words, she portrayed Jiang Zao as an unfilial daughter who disregarded her birth mother.
No one expected such a big scene on the first day of work on Monday.
Should they eat this melon or not?
The Fu Corporation employees were conflicted, and their pace towards the elevator slowed down a lot.
Jiang Zao was calm: “It’s nothing, I just didn’t want to argue with you about Xia Chuwei framing me. You’re looking for me just to ask me to clarify for her, but clearly I’m the one who was wronged, and she’s the one who did something wrong, Mom, how many years has it been? You can’t always favor one over the other. Even if you want to gain a foothold in the Xia Family, you can’t always make me take the blame, can you?”
The video of Xia Chuwei framing Jiang Zao went viral on the Internet this weekend, and almost all of Fu Corporation’s employees knew about it.
At this moment, they also understood and looked at Lan Yi with strange eyes.
What’s going on?
She doesn’t care that her own daughter was framed, but she still forces her to clarify for her stepdaughter who started it?
Is this really a mother?
