“Don’t take pleasure in other people’s misery. What goes around, comes around.
Granny Zhu hummed, got up, and returned to her room.
“Madam Zhou, see the guests out.”
Madam Zhou said with a beaming smile: ‘Madam needs her rest, perhaps you could visit another day.”
Zhu Wenjie was furious, pointing at Granny Zhu’s retreating figure, he yelled: “You’ll regret this someday, you old hag.”
Madam Zhou’s gaze turned cold, intensifying the tone: ‘Madam Zhu.”
Zhu Wenjie pointed at her nose and cursed: “You’ll see.”
He stormed out, cursing and bickering with Zhou Bao.
Madam Zhou couldn’t make heads or tails of this woman’s antics, stirring up trouble every now and then, afraid that the Zhu family was too peaceful. What kind of grudge did she have against the Zhu family?
When Lin Qing came home in the afternoon, she was genuinely pleased to hear of Ming Jing’s top rank achievement.
Previously, Zhu Xiangxiang had been among the top ten, which already brought her considerable prestige in the circle of ladies, but Ming Jing brought her even more honor.
When you dislike someone, you see only their flaws.
When you like someone, you see only their merits.
As situations change according to mindset, Lin Qing wasn’t sure when her attitude towards Ming Jing had changed, but now, wherever she looked, she found Ming Jing pleasing to the eye and excellent overall.
When Ming Jing mentioned wanting to register for the Mathematical Olympiad training class, Lin Qing immediately agreed without considering the cost.
Ming Jing and Zhu Xiangxiang both proved that the elite education in wealthy families is a joke and it’s all about genetic inheritance.
Because Ming Jing is her daughter, with her blood in her veins, is why she could be so outstanding.
Just like that.
From beginning to end, she didn’t ask Zhu Xiangxiang a single word about how she did on her exams. In light of such outstanding achievement, how Zhu Xiangxiang did becomes utterly meaningless.
Nevertheless, her neglect pierced Zhu Xiangxiang’s heart, although she was relieved that Lin Qing hadn’t asked, otherwise the one who would be embarrassed would be her.
“Madam, Granny Zhu asks if you could join her in her room,” Madam Zhou said, respectfully.
Lin Qing nodded, instructed both to rest, and went to Granny Zhu’s room.
“Mother, are you feeling better these days?”
Granny Zhu’s room has a large French window that fills half the room with sunshine on a sunny day.
Elderly people like to bask in the sun, and this room was designed especially for Granny Zhu.
At this moment, Granny Zhu was sitting in a rocking chair on the balcony, with a blanket on her lap and a cup of tea in her hand.
“With Ming Jing around, I feel better every day. She taught me the Five Animal Play in the morning, and I feel much stronger than before.”
Lin Qing nodded: “That’s good, you did right to bring Ming Jing back.”
After finding out about Ming Jing’s and Zhu Xiangxiang’s real identities, feeling affection for Zhu Xiangxiang, whom she raised for so many years, but fearing that Zhu Xiangxiang might be treated unjustly, she thought it was better to carry the mistake forward, not bring Ming Jing back, secretly fund her education, arrange her life well. Apart from nominal kinship, all else would be compensated.
This suggestion was strongly opposed by Granny Zhu, who insisted on bringing Ming Jing back. Looking back, that decision was absolutely right.
Granny Zhu gave her a sidelong glance, her cloudy eyes filled with wisdom: “You, as a mother, are muddled. After going through so much, I suppose you can see clearly now. It’s about returning heart for heart.”
Lin Qing lowered her head: “Mother, you are indeed more enlightened than me.”
“Just look at how old I am. If I were still as confused as you, my life would be a joke.”
Lin Qing chose to remain silent.
“How are things between you and Wenda now?” Granny Zhu suddenly changed the topic.
Lin Qing was taken aback, her lips pressed tightly together.
Granny Zhu sighed: “Don’t worry. I can tell right from wrong. He grew tired of you, looking for new possibilities. I will not support him. Even if you divorce and take it to court, I will testify for you. I’ll make that man leave with nothing. ”
Lin Qing looked up in surprise.
There are so many examples of this: No matter how good the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, during a divorce, the mother-in-law sides with her own son, finding fault even in the seemingly perfect.
Her relationship with Granny Zhu was not the best, they often quarreled, she never expected Granny Zhu would support her at this time.
She dared not believe it completely. After all, her spouse of twenty years had been deceiving her all this time.
Granny Zhu took a file bag from the drawer of her bedside table and handed it to her.
Curious, Lin Qing asked, “What is this?”
“Open it and see for yourself.”
Subconsciously, Lin Qing took it and opened it. Her eyes widened in surprise. Inside, there were several property deeds, including one for the Nanhu Villa, which is the most expensive villa area in Jiangzhou, worth at least 50 million at the lowest. There was also the deed for their current villa and several other school district houses, including an office building and a shop in the busiest downtown area..
