My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 265

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.

“Song Yingjie, I hope this is the last time you cry. Men shed blood and sweat but not tears. Grow up. If you continue to rebel so simply and foolishly, it will be your relatives who will suffer and your enemies who will benefit. Everything in the Zhu family is yours, and your mother left it for you. Even if you fight for love, you must only win and not lose.

“Your uncles and aunties will grow old. When you were young, they were the ones protecting you. When you get older, you should protect them. I still say that it is your responsibility to make your relatives happy.

“The world is too dark and cruel. Don’t treat this darkness and cruelty mercifully. For us to survive, we can only survive by being the strongest, eliminating the weak ones, and subduing violence using violence. A strong life never needs to be explained. Real and long-term happiness needs planning. Don’t dream of getting anything for free in this world, because it will only be a trap. If you are not tough in your present position, you will die miserably in the future.”

Song Yingjie looked at the girl’s bright autumn pupils. The car was passing the downtown square, and the bright lights shined brightly on the girl.

“I understand.” He nodded.

…

The limousine stopped in front of the Lu family Villa and the old housekeeper and Song Yingjie entered.

Song Yajing was still awake. She sat in the living room and looked at the documents. When they came back, she looked up and went to Song Yingjie. “Yingjie, you’re back. I heard that you had dinner with the Ning family. Did you have enough? What would you like to eat? Auntie will ask the servant to make it for you?”

“No need.” Song Yingjie looked up at Song Yajing. “Auntie, I’m going upstairs.”

He went upstairs.

Song Yajing saw the wound on Song Yingjie’s face. Her face changed. She said, “Yingjie, what’s wrong with your face? Who bullied you? Tell Auntie, I will send someone…”

“Auntie, I’m all right. I’m going to bed.” Song Yingjie went back to his room and closed the door.

Song Yajing immediately turned her head and looked at Uncle Fook. Her face was stern and she asked in a low voice, “Uncle Fook, what happened today? You have been with the Lu family for 40 years. This was the first time that you had gone against my wishes when I asked you to fetch Yingjie back. What benefits did Ning Qing give you?”

Uncle Fook bowed respectfully. “Madam, Young Madam has not given me anything, but I think Young Master Yingjie will be happier with Young Madam.”

“What?”

“Madam, today the young master got in a fight at school and was sent to the police station. Young Madam picked him up and came back. The others had called Young Master Yingjie a little jinx…”

“Who?” This term was a taboo to Song Yajing, so she clenched her fists tightly as cold shards of light flashed from her eyes. “I want that person to disappear.”

“Madam, Young Madam has already dealt with them. They were at the police station at that time. Young Madam had said…”

Uncle Fook retold Ning Qing’s words to Song Yajing quietly.

Song Yajing’s pupils shrank, and her face was obscured. She put one hand on the sofa and sat down slowly. “She…really said that?”

“Yes.” Uncle Fook nodded. “After dinner at the Ning family home, she went back to the car and said something to Young Master Yingjie. Here’s what she said at the time…”

Faber repeated it all.

This time Song Yajing went silent after listening. Not a sound could be heard in the quiet villa hall. After a long time, Song Yajing quietly laughed. She turned to Uncle Fook, “Uncle Fook, have you really regarded Ning Qing as the young madam from the bottom of your heart? Look, this is Ning Qing’s strong point. She said these words to Yingjie because she wanted you to hear them; she wanted to use Yingjie to win favor and win people’s hearts.”

Uncle Fook was not humble or arrogant as he said, “Madam, how can I not see these thoughts of Young Madam? But that’s why I think she’s a good Young Madam. Even you couldn’t handle Young Master Yingjie all these years, but Young Madam could. She has not only handled and taught him, but she has also won your favor. Madam also thinks that Young Madam is brave and resourceful, not lacking wise and ingenious means Only someone like her can hold the high position of the master mother of the Lu family.

“Madam, I have been with the Lu family for 40 years. Nobody wishes the best for the Lu family more than I do. Madam also wants the Lu family to be well. Since we all think so, why is Madam so stubborn?”

…

Song Yajing opened the door and entered Song Yingjie’s room.

There was no light in the room. Song Yingjie was lying on the side of the bed, sleeping with his eyes closed.

Song Yajing sat quietly beside the bed. She began to cover Song Yingjie with the blanket. Then she sighed and said, “Yingjie, you have not fallen asleep yet, right? Auntie wants to talk to you.”

In the darkness, Song Yingjie opened his eyes. He did not move, nor did he speak.

“The simplest and happiest time of Auntie’s life was in the Song family, where I grew up with my brothers and sisters. At that time, our father told us that because we were born in a noble family, our marriage and life could not be chosen by ourselves in the future, but we as brothers and sisters in the Song family should always be united because the family relationship will never change.

“Later, I married into the Lu family, there were countless open struggles and veiled fights in the Lu family. Men were men; how could they not have any flirtatious past? I was already numb. Later, I had Shaoming. This son is my pride and hope. Maybe because his surname is Lu, we were never intimate with each other.

“But you are different. You are my sister’s son. My sister had left so early. I wish I could make up for all your missing motherly love. Yingjie, Auntie sincerely hope you will be well and successful.”

Song Yingjie did not speak for a long time.

Song Yajing took back her sad expression and touched Song Yingjie’s forehead. “Sleep now.”

She got up.

But her hand was pulled and her movements stiffened. Song Yingjie had slowly turned around, and he put his head on her leg.

Song Yajing touched his face and realized that it was full of tears.

Song Yajing raised her eyes for a moment. Her eyes were wet. If there was a soft spot in her heart, it was reserved for the Song family.

…

The next day

Ning Qing came to the Lu family Villa. Today, Song Yingjie did not go to school. The servants were preparing fruit pastries and greeted the guests.

“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.”
