Fated to My Billionaire Husband - Chapter 278
Chapter 278: Chapter 278 She Wants to Help Them Secretly_1
The restaurant had decided to lease out, so they were busy finding someone to take the lease.
Jian Yufei was assisting, and although it was tiring, she learned a lot.
Soon, it was time for the New Year.
Xiao Lang’s family was abroad, and Jiang Yufei planned to spend the holiday with him, but she had to return home on the second day of the New Year.
Wang Daizhen called her, cheerfully saying, “Yufei, your uncle’s hotel has made a lot of money, all thanks to Tianling. On the second day of the New Year, bring him home for a meal, mom will make dumplings for him.”
“Mom, Ruan Tianling is very busy. He probably won’t have time to go.” Jian Yufei lied without blinking an eye.
Until she and Xiao Lang were engaged, she dared not tell her family about her divorce.
She was afraid that they would object to her marriage with Xiao Lang, or even worse, join forces with Ruan Tianling to prevent her from marrying Xiao Lang.
Ruan Tianling had already said that he would never allow her to marry Xiao Lang. He always kept his word, she had to be on guard against him all the time.
“You always say he’s too busy, is it that embarrassing to invite him home for a meal? Yufei, did you two have a fight again?”
“Mom, I’ll go home on the second day of the New Year. It’s true that Ruan Tianling can’t make it. Just stop worrying about our issues.”
“This child…”
Jian Yufei appeased her mother with a few words and then hung up the phone.
Xiao Lang walked up to her and hugged her from behind, “Do you want me to go with you?”
She shook her head, turned around and apologetically said to him, “It’s not that I don’t want to introduce you to my parents. I’m just afraid they might do something. Xiao Lang, after we get engaged, I will explain everything to them myself. I can persuade them, you don’t have to worry about it.”
“Fool, we are going to get married. We should face everything together.” Xiao Lang lovingly wrapped his arm around her waist.
Jian Yufei rested her head on his chest and smiled, “I will face everything else with you, but will you let me handle this?”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you, but don’t forget to come to me if you’re having trouble.”
“Mm.”
On the night of New Year’s Day, Ruan Tianling and a bunch of friends went to Night Emperor and drank a lot. He was hungover until ten in the morning.
As soon as he woke up, he received a call from Jian Yufei’s mother, Wang Daizhen.
He answered the call in confusion, not knowing why his former mother-in-law was calling him.
“Tianling, are you free today? Mom made some dumplings, and I was thinking we could all have a meal together.” Wang Daizhen called secretly without letting her daughter know.
She knew Jian Yufei and Ruan Tianling had no feelings for each other and that her daughter didn’t want to see this husband.
But she couldn’t ignore their issues. She wanted to secretly help them, to let them communicate more, hoping that it might help improve their relationship.
Jian Yufei was in the living room tutoring her younger brother, Sun Hao, and had no idea her mother was in the bedroom calling Ruan Tianling.
At her former mother-in-law’s words, Ruan Tianling raised an eyebrow. Could it be that Jian Yufei didn’t tell her family about their divorce?
“Tianling, are you still there?”
“Did Jian Yufei also go?” Ruan Tianling asked.
“Yes, Yufei is here. She said you’re too busy and don’t have time for dinner. But it’s the second day of the New Year today, and mom thought even if you’re busy, you should be able to come over for a meal.”
Ruan Tianling sat up and rubbed his temples. He had initially planned to decline, but his words changed when they reached his lips.
“Okay, I’ll be right over.”
