Chapter 265 - Conquer Mother In Law
“Don’t blame the darkness of the world for the simplicity of your life. Life has always been like sailing against the tide. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. Whose life is perfect? Go online and search my name, Ning Qing. I debuted at the age of 18 and have fought countless battles, small and large. I had fought against my stepmother, tore my sibling apart, kicked away a f*ckboy, and tortured a b*tch. Just how many calamities have you brought upon me since you returned home? It’s not that I haven’t been sad, but life is like this. If I had even slacked off a little, I wouldn’t have been able to get to where I am today.”
Song Yingjie listened and murmured, “You must not like my auntie very much.”
Ning Qing sneered, “Of course not. Do you think I’m masochistic. It’s not my hobby to stick my hot face to a cold buttock, alright?”
Old butler: “…”
Song Yingjie rose from her shoulder. If she had said she liked his auntie, he would think she was hypocritical, but she told the truth.
Ning Qing grabbed some tissues and gave them to him to wipe his tears. “But Yingjie, I’m your sister-in-law. Your auntie is my mother-in-law; we are a family. We can’t get everyone’s favor in this world, but if we try, and If we work hard, it’s alright as long as we have a clear conscience.”
Song Yingjie turned to look out of the window. He understood what she meant. She was talking about his father.
“Mom, I’m here.” Ning Qing spoke to Song Yajing who was standing in the living room.
“Alright.” Song Yajing gave a rare reply.
Ning Qing had greeted her because Song Yajing would just ignore her, but today Song Yajing had responded to her.
Ning Qing’s eyes brightened. It was a very good start.
Ning Qing went beside Song Yajing and asked, “Mom, are there any distinguished guests coming today?”
Song Yajing looked at the information in her hand without looking up, but she patiently answered, “Yes, Mrs. Zhou and Zhilei are coming to visit today,” and Song Yajing looked at Ning Qing as she said, “Although you are Shaoming’s wife now, the friendship between the Lu family and the Zhou family has existed there for generations and cannot be broken, especially since Grandpa Zhou had helped the Lu family during difficult times. Zhilei and Shaoming are also childhood friends.”
Ning Qing’s eyes squinted as she smiled. It was rare and strange to hear this sentence, “You are Shaming’s wife now,” from her mother-in-law.
Had she conquered this stubborn mother-in-law?
It has been difficult for her!
“Yes, Mom, you can rest assured that the Lu and Zhou families are family friends. This friendship will always go on. I will get along well with Miss Zhou.”
Song Yajing nodded reassuringly.
Ning Qing laughed in her heart. How could they get along?
That Zhilei would probably have some tricks up her sleeve today.
With this time bomb, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law’s relations would explode at any minute. Their relationship had just improved; they couldn’t withstand Zhou Zhilei’s provocation.
But the Lu and Zhou families had a deep friendship. If she handles it improperly, she will burn herself.
Ning Qing was deep in thought when she heard the servant call “Young Master Yingjie,” as Song Yingjie came down the stairs.
Ning Qing looked up and saw that today, Song Yingjie had changed out of his normal fashionable clothes. He was wearing a clean white shirt and jeans and had no earphones in his ears. He put his hand in his pocket and went down the stairs. His fringe on his forehead, which covered his eyes, fluttered gently. He looked gentle, but there was no expression on his face. Ning Qing felt that he was more silent than before.
“Good morning, Yingjie.” Ning Qing greeted him generously.
Song Yingjie looked at her but did not speak, and instead went to the dining hall.
Ning Qing: “…” Stupid boy!
…
At about ten o’clock in the morning, the doorbell of the villa door rang. The servant went to open the door. Kong Lan came in with Zhou Zhilei.
“Mrs. Zhou, Zhilei, you are here! Please sit down.” Song Yajing welcomed them.
Ning Qing came out, and her eyes met Zhou Zhilei’s. When the mother and daughter saw her, it was as if silver needles were about to shoot out from their eyes, Ning Qing smiled calmly and said, “Mrs. Zhou, Miss Zhou, welcome. I’ll make tea for you.”
She turned and went into the kitchen.
The Zhou family mother and daughter sat on the sofa with Song Yajing. Zhou Zhilei gave Kong Lan a look. Kong Lan burst into laughter and said, “Mrs. Lu, two days ago, I was talking with Zhilei about going to Sanya for vacation. Is Mrs. Lu interested in coming along? We haven’t gone out together for a long time, right? Is Young Master Lu on a business trip? Let’s ask him to go with us together then.”
