After Miss Zhan became Mrs. Zhan
Chapter 2 Mother-in-law and sister-in-law come to visit
After Gu Xin left, Zhan Ruoyin got out of bed and began to look around the room.
This bedroom is spacious and bright, with its own luxurious dressing room and bathroom. The emerald orchid chandelier above is classical and exquisite, and the lighting is quiet and soft.
Outside the 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows is the bustling lights, nightlife and traffic of the city center. The Pearl Building opposite has witnessed decades of development of this city and is known as the Oriental Miracle.
This also means that the place where Zhan Ruoyin lives is the economic and cultural center of Kyoto, where every inch of land is valuable, and is a top wealthy area.
Zhan Ruoyin walked barefoot to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror, which dazzled her.
This face is well maintained, with picturesque features and charming looks, retaining the charm unique to a mature woman to the fullest.
A tight and perfect figure, a slender waist and a charming temperament.
Zhan Ruoyin sighed silently, saying that money can make the world go round.
If she walked out with this face, no one would be able to tell that she was almost fifty years old.
When Zhan Ruoyin was admiring this ageless face, the voice of the nanny Chen Sao came from the door:
"Madam, the old lady and Miss Jingzhi are here and are waiting to see you in the living room."
Zhan Ruoyin was stunned. In her memory, the old lady of the Li family, her original body's mother-in-law, had always lived in seclusion in the countryside and rarely showed up. She even did not attend her illegitimate son's wedding last year.
Why did he come at this time? Moreover, he came with his sister-in-law Li Jingzhi, who devoted herself to art and often disappeared.
"Oh I see. I'll be right there."
Zhan Ruoyin walked out of the bathroom barefoot and saw Mrs. Chen still standing at the door, looking at her with a frightened look.
Zhan Ruoyin's heart instantly sank.
Aren't they here to call for punishment?
Zhan Ruoyin stuttered, "Chen, Mrs. Chen, why do you look like that? Is there anything wrong?"
Mrs. Chen shook her head. "It's okay. The kitchen has cooked some silver bird's nest for you. I'll go check if it's ready. Madam, please clean up quickly."
She just found it unbelievable. The lady had always been dignified and respectable, always dressed appropriately. Now she was walking barefoot on the ground, which was really unbelievable.
Zhan Ruoyin felt relieved when she heard her say that.
Aristocratic families attach great importance to rules and etiquette, so Zhan Ruoyin didn't dare to meet her mother-in-law in pajamas. She changed into a pink cheongsam, found a pair of flat shoes, put on some simple makeup, and hurried to the living room.
The old lady's eyes were sharp and her body was light and steady, which was enough to show that she had a mind that transcended the world and a healthy body.
The old lady was sitting on the sofa, but at this moment, her body was shaking because of suppressed sadness.
Fortunately, Li Jingzhi, who was standing by, kept patting her back to help her breathe easier. When she saw Zhan Ruoyin coming over, her eyes instantly turned red.
It has been so long since she has seen her grandchildren. Her good family has become so shattered. What should she do to get her daughter-in-law to let the children go?
The old woman was hunched over with an anxious and helpless look in her eyes. The words of accusation were on the tip of her tongue but she couldn't say them.
After all, it was the Li family who let her down.
For a moment, she could only hide her sadness and asked in a low voice:
"How can you not force my grandson? It is common for men and women to marry each other, but my grandson doesn't want to get married. He has a girl he likes in his heart. How can you not force him?"
After saying this, the old lady burst into tears. She was only questioning her daughter-in-law because she was forced into a corner.
Even if she offends her daughter-in-law, she will still support her grandson!
Li Jingzhi choked up when he saw his mother so sad, and there was a hint of resentment in his eyes when he looked at Zhan Ruoyin.
My sister-in-law has been becoming more and more outrageous recently. She even threatened to commit suicide to force her own son to get married. If this gets out, I don't know how the celebrity circle will ridicule her.
Zhan Ruoyin looked at the mother and daughter crying on the sofa, and her heart finally died.
Well, she had to take the blame for her original body's mistake.
Zhan Ruoyin walked over and took out some paper to wipe the old lady's tears, "Mom, don't cry, I promise you, I won't force him anymore, and I won't do it again in the future."
The old lady was stunned. She heard something that her daughter-in-law actually compromised.
The old lady sniffed and looked at her doubtfully: "What did you say? Are you really not going to force my grandson?"
Zhan Ruoyin nodded and said seriously:
"Mom, don't worry. After this serious illness, I figured out a lot of things. I used to be strong-willed and didn't tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes, so I did a lot of wrong things, which made the family a mess. The family relationship was broken, and my son and daughter were like strangers.
Now I won't do that anymore. My children have their own interests, and I should be happy for them. With the help of our Li family's resources, I believe they can make their own way. They are all my children, the apple of my eye, and I will never force them to do anything again. "
After Zhan Ruoyin finished speaking, the old lady was stunned. Is this something a daughter-in-law who has been strong for more than 20 years can say?
The sun is really coming out in the west!
Li Jingzhi was dumbfounded. She looked at Zhan Ruoyin:
"Sister-in-law, you are not possessed by something, are you? You have always been arbitrary and no one can say a word about you!"
Zhan Ruoyin sighed silently. He could even guess this. He was indeed an artist. He dared to think of anything.
"I'm almost fifty years old, and I should be sensible. Mom, I was too absurd before. I made you worry so much and even made you cry. I am an unfilial daughter-in-law. Please forgive me."
Zhan Ruoyin felt that her attitude was still not sincere enough, so after she finished speaking, she knelt down in front of the old lady and looked at her with tears in her eyes:
"Mom, I promise you that I will not force the children anymore. Give me a year, and I will definitely make our Li family a new one."
How could the old lady dare to let her daughter-in-law kneel to her? She immediately stood up and looked at Zhan Ruoyin in panic:
"What are you doing? Get up quickly. As long as you know where you are wrong and as long as you care about the children, I will never blame you, and how can I ask you to forgive or not forgive me?"
Li Jingzhi went to help Zhan Ruoyin sensibly.
Zhan Ruoyin also stood up. She could feel that the old lady and her sister-in-law had no ill will towards her. They just came to question her because they were forced into a corner and felt sorry for their grandson.
Otherwise, she wouldn't kneel down just like that.
They were relatives who had lived together for decades. Zhan Ruoyin didn't want to be polite with them. It would seem insincere if she insisted on kneeling.
"Mom, don't worry, I won't let you down. I will apologize to the children and will definitely take them home. Thank you for loving them so much. I will teach them to take time to spend more time with you and dad. I believe the children will be very happy."
These words really touched the old lady's heart.
When people get old, they just want someone to spend more time with them, chat with them, and take a walk with them. These can make them happy for several days.
The old lady was so soft-hearted that she suddenly remembered the birthday gift she had brought for Zhan Ruoyin:
"By the way, you happened to be in a coma on your birthday, so I didn't send out the gift. I just happened to make up for it today. You are always the hostess respected by everyone in the Li family, and this will never change."
After receiving instructions from the old lady, Li Jingzhi handed the golden gift bag on the sofa to Zhan Ruoyin.
There were two sandalwood boxes and a red envelope inside.
The red envelope looks very thin, and there should be a card inside.
"Sister-in-law, this is the birthday gift that mom, I, and Li Jingyan prepared for you. It's a little late, but the thought is there. I hope you don't dislike it."
Li Jingyan is Zhan Ruoyin's brother-in-law. The old lady of the Li family has four children in total.
The eldest son, Li Jingting, is in politics; the second son, Li Jingchen, is in business and is Zhan Ruoyin's husband; the third daughter, Li Jingzhi, is a world-class outstanding artist; the fourth son, Li Jingyan, is disabled in both legs due to a car accident, but at the age of 32, he is the youngest president of Kyoto University.
After saying that, he leaned close to Zhan Ruoyin's ear and whispered:
"Sister-in-law, Mom gave you a big red envelope. Buy whatever you want. Don't be reluctant to spend it."
Zhan Ruoyin smiled, her eyes curved into crescent shapes, and joked:
"Okay, I'll buy a mountaintop tomorrow and live in seclusion in the mountains like my parents."
The old lady was horrified when she heard this, and she quickly raised her voice to stop him:
"You are at the age to enjoy life. Why do you want to follow our example of seclusion? Don't let your imagination run wild!"
Zhan Ruoyin pursed her lips and smiled, "Just kidding, I will at least wait until the children are willing to come back before I retire."
Li Jingzhi also smiled. The old lady felt sweeter than eating candy that she could talk and laugh with her sister-in-law again.
The old lady and Li Jingzhi were determined to leave, and it was useless for Zhan Ruoyin to try to keep them.
In fact, she understood that the old lady didn't want to disturb her, so she didn't force her to stay.
Zhan Ruoyin sat on the sofa and opened two sandalwood boxes. One contained a pigeon egg imperial jadeite ring and the other contained a violet jadeite diamond necklace.
Zhan Ruoyin sighed, this number must be at least eight digits, right?
Zhan Ruoyin felt that she was being pretentious. This rebirth really hit her heart.
