The fake daughter's husband is reborn

Chapter 99: Less education does not mean less scheming

Aunt: "Jingjing, what you said is true. Didn't your aunt make a fuss? But I heard that she is watching Zhou Zhida very closely now."

Xie Jing: "He made a scene once on the first day, but never again. Maybe he felt sorry for Zhida."

She now holds Fang Qin in a high esteem. If Fang Qin treats Lin Zhida harshly in the future, she will be drowned by the spit from the outside world.

Second aunt: "I heard that Zhou Jiwen is dating the only daughter of the Shen family. When this happened, were they not affected?"

"I don't think so, right?" Xie Jing frowned. "After all, I'm still in school, so I don't know their situation. But Zhou Jiwen is an adult, not a child. Even if he suddenly has a younger brother, it shouldn't affect him, right?"

Cousin Liu said softly, "That's not necessarily true. If she really loves her daughter and knows that her in-laws have an illegitimate child, will she question her children's character? If her children follow suit, wouldn't that be harming her daughter?"

Xie Jing: "This is what normal parents should think about, Mom, don't you agree?"

Liu Limin froze for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "That's right. When examining a son-in-law's character, one naturally has to look at the family tradition. For an elder like this who has an illegitimate child, most families wouldn't consider him."

Xie Jing responded with a half-believing sound, and then started chatting with her aunt and second aunt about family matters. She often just responded with "hmm", and heard many secrets of the wealthy families from these women.

But most of the stories revolved around the Zhou family, and Xie Jing didn't care at all. The Zhou family was the Zhou family, and the second branch was the second branch. What did it have to do with their first branch?

Xie Jing naturally wanted to make things difficult for Zhou Zhida and his wife. No matter what others thought, she and Zhou Jiyun were now comrades in the same trench, so Zhou Jiyun's enemies were her enemies.

Rather than having the couple die a miserable death as Zhou Jiyun said, it would be better for them to suppress these people in advance.

The Liu family's villa is naturally incomparable to the Zhou family's old house. After a family dinner at noon, many guests went back and waited to gather at the hotel again in the evening.

Now, only Liu's own people are left, such as Xie Xuerong and Xie Wuyang, the children of the eldest and second uncles, and Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing.

Zhou Jiyun naturally found an excuse: "Since Jingjing and I got married, we have never been to the Liu family as guests. Grandma won't find us annoying, right?"

Grandma Liu said with a smile: "How could that be? I wish you could stay longer. I'll ask Auntie to serve us some snacks and fruits."

"I remember Jingjing likes to eat those sticky snacks the most, and it just so happens that Auntie is good at this."

Xie Jing smiled and said, "Thank you, grandma, for remembering my preferences. I haven't been to grandma's house for a long time. Can I walk around?"

Grandma Liu: "Of course you can, kid. This is your grandma's home, not someone else's. Why do you need to be so polite? I'm just afraid that after you've seen your grandfather's Chinese garden, you'll look down on your grandparents' small family."

Zhou Jiyun thought that although this old lady was not well-educated, she really understood the double meaning of words. On the surface, she was saying that the Liu family was small, but in fact, she was flattering Xie Jing, implying that she had never come back after getting married and was dazzled by the Zhou family's large mansion.

Can he let the blame fall on Xie Jing? Zhou Jiyun immediately laughed: "Etiquette cannot be abolished. It's also my fault that I'm too busy. Jingjing has schoolwork. I usually have to make an appointment in advance to see her. How can I have time to visit relatives and friends?"

When he defended Xie Jing in person, everyone naturally had different reactions. For example, Liu Limin, Xie Xuerong, and Xie Wuyang had seen Zhou Jiyun defend Xie Jing, so the three of them were very calm.

But everyone in the Liu family, from Grandma Liu to Cousin Liu, was very surprised. Especially Liu Quan, she now couldn't help but feel jealous of Xie Jing.

At first, Grandma Liu wanted to snatch this marriage, but Xie Xuerong absolutely refused. The Liu family had their own plans, and Liu Quan was not so eager at that time. After all, she didn't want to marry a man with a white moonlight in his heart.

But now that she knows that everything is just a rumor, and seeing how gentle and considerate Zhou Jiyun is to Xie Jing, Liu Quan can't help but imagine, if it was herself who married Zhou Jiyun, would she be the one being protected by him now?

After all, Grandma Liu was worldly-wise. She immediately laughed and said, "When people get old, they tend to get confused and say the wrong things. I only remembered that Jingjing was married, but forgot that she was still a student. She must be very busy with her studies, right?"

Xie Jing nodded: "It's true that I'm quite busy. I have classes every day, and sometimes the professor will assign homework."

Zhou Jiyun also helped explain: "Jingjing's major is the school's top major. It is very difficult to learn and requires a lot of effort."

Liu Quan couldn't hide her words: "My brother-in-law is young and promising, Jingjing shouldn't work too hard."

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Jiyun said seriously, "Jingjing's ideals are also ideals, and she also has her hobbies. I can't be so selfish as to ask Jingjing to sacrifice for me. Love is not like that. It requires both of us to become better, not just one side to give in."

Liu Quan was choked, and Aunt Liu II quickly said, "Jiyun, don't take it to heart. It's mainly because you are busy, and Jingjing is busy too. It's not good for family harmony for these two busy people to get together, right?"

Zhou Jiyun raised his eyebrows: "How could that be? No matter how busy we are, we all have to go home, so where is the discord?"

The better Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing's relationship, the more Liu Limin felt it was irritating. Her daughter Wuyou was now abroad and she didn't know what was happening to her, but they were the culprit, yet they were living such a comfortable life. Was this fair?

But Liu Limin didn't dare to quarrel with Zhou Jiyun, and even when they were alone, she didn't dare to quarrel with Xie Jing. After all, Xie Jing was a very evil girl, and she didn't recognize her relatives when she was crazy.

After all, Grandma Liu was old, so after talking for a while, she went back to her bedroom to take a nap. Everyone naturally dispersed, and Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun were also assigned a guest room, but neither of them had the heart to take a nap.

Zhou Jiyun opened the window and said, "Li Ercui is indeed an extraordinary person. Although she hasn't read many books, she is really extraordinary in mind."

Xie Jing said calmly: "Cixi didn't read many books, but this didn't stop her from becoming the biggest winner in the end. Some people don't become bad because of how many books they read. She was born a bad person."

"I checked today. There are four aunts in the Liu family. They are not old, only about 40 years old. They probably don't know about the old stories of the Liu family. We have to find the maids who used to work in the Liu family."

"Brother Fan has been looking for her, but it has been too long and it is hard to find her for the time being." Zhou Jiyun hugged Xie Jing's waist from behind: "Your cousin's words are very annoying."
