Rebirth of the Superpower Queen

Zhang Wenhui, Yuan Yongkai's mother, smiled slightly. She was already used to the girl's directness.

"He'll be back soon. He just went out with his dad. I don't know what they were doing."

"Oh, then let me help you. Is this how to pick the vegetables?" Yang Lan was a little flustered, a little flustered and embarrassed. Seeing that Zhang Wenhui was so elegant even when cooking, and then looking at herself, perhaps she would never be able to achieve such temperament in her entire life.

"You'd better go over and sit down and have some fruit. Everything on the table has been washed. Leave this to me. I have cooked for your uncle and his family for most of my life. It's tiring to do just this little thing." Zhang Wenhui smiled lovingly, looked at Yang Lan's unfamiliar look, shook her head helplessly, and could only push her away.

Girls nowadays are the apple of their parents’ eyes at home. Parents who pamper them a little are afraid that their daughters will be tired from serving dishes. How could they possibly do these things?

Yang Lan also smiled awkwardly. She had lived for nearly twenty years and had always only been able to eat but not do anything. She could go out and fight or do other things, but she really couldn't do these trivial housework.

"It's okay. Girls nowadays wouldn't do these things. We women are independent now and can have our own careers, which means it's a good thing. Don't be like me, who spent all my life taking care of my husband and children, and my own dreams are far away." Zhang Wenhui looked at Yang Lan with understanding, knowing that she might be embarrassed or even ashamed. Her gentle tone was so heartwarming.

"In fact, being a housewife has a harder job than any other profession. I always feel that my mother works harder than my father. Although many people think that going out to work and earning money is a job, in fact, taking care of the husband and children is the greatest job in the world. The family and the society cannot do without this profession, not to mention the tedious things that happen every day. If it were me, I would definitely be overwhelmed." Yang Lan especially admires Zhang Wenhui. In her previous impression, housewives were equated with shrews.

But after seeing Zhang Wenhui, she realized that being a housewife is such a noble and great profession.

It turns out that every profession has its own wonderful aspects. It all depends on how you manage your life.

"Haha, look at you, your little mouth is really good at talking. If you marry into another family, your aunt will really be reluctant to let you go." Zhang Wenhui laughed out loud at what Yang Lan said. Although they have different auras, they have the same ideas and values. Although they are two generations apart in age, they always have a great time talking to each other.

This is why Zhang Wenhui thinks Yang Lan is good. In short, she likes her very much. She just doesn’t know whether her silly son is so lucky.

Although she knew that Yuan Yongkai was in love with the girl surnamed Meng and had once publicly announced that she was his fiancée, wasn't there a rumor recently that the girl surnamed Meng was close to Qiao Surong? If that was the case, although she also wanted her son to be happy, but taking a step back, if he learned to let go, it would be better for everyone.

I just don't know if her wooden son can learn to let go.

Yang Lan heard Zhang Wenhui's straightforward praise of her, which was equivalent to a disguised admission that she liked her to be her daughter-in-law. Her old face rarely turned red. "Auntie, you are always making fun of me. I won't accompany you anymore."

After saying that, she shyly ran to the living room and started to relieve herself.

During this period, she came to this house perhaps more often than Yuan Yongkai went home, and she had obviously become accustomed to the casual lifestyle.

"Why are you here again?" Yang Lan just walked into the living room and heard a man's voice with obvious impatience in it.

Yang Lan used to be excited and nervous every time she heard this voice, but his impatience would only pour cold water on her. In the end, she could only smile slightly, "Uncle, you're back, Mr. Yuan, hello!"

He extended his hand generously, as if it was the first time he met her, proactive and graceful.

Yuan Yongkai stared at her silently for a few seconds, and instead of extending his hand to welcome her, he walked away coldly without any reaction.

Instead, Yuan Runjue extended his hand, shook hands with Yang Lan, and said lovingly, just like Zhang Wenhui: "Ignore him, he's just a psychopath. Eat the fruit as you like. I caught two big fish today. Let's eat them later and don't give them to that bastard."

Yuan Runjue is not as serious as he appears on TV screen at home. Sometimes he is even childish, especially when talking to his son or interacting with Zhang Wenhui.

Yang Lan was very envious when she saw it.

When Yang Lan met Yuan Runjue for the first time, she was shocked. She didn't know Yuan Yongkai's identity at first. She only knew that he worked in a secret department of the country. But after meeting Yuan Runjue, she realized that he was hiding it quite well.

Yuan Runjue was chosen a year ago. When No. 1 retires next year, he will be No. 1. It is impossible to imagine what such a person is like at home. All we know about him is the way he appears on the screen and speaks at various conferences. His seriousness and inviolable innate nobility are intimidating.

Yang Lan gave a wry smile, "Looks like I'm in for a treat today."

Being liked and recognized by Yuan Runjue and Zhang Wenhui is her greatest comfort. As for Yuan Yongkai, she believes that sincerity can move mountains and break rocks. She has plenty of time, energy and methods, and she doesn't believe that there will be a day when this stone will not be moved.

When Meng Zhiling returned home, she discussed the New Year's arrangements with Qiao Surong hesitantly. After all, it seemed a bit cruel to leave him alone to go to Li Yao's hometown, after all, he also needed someone to accompany him.

"What did you say?" Qiao Surong thought there was something wrong with his ears. He looked at Meng Zhiling with a cold face, looking unhappy.

"Yang Lan and I are going to Li Yao's hometown during the Chinese New Year, so do you have any plans?" Meng Zhiling's voice was even lower than the first time she told the truth.

"Haha, what arrangements can I make? You have already informed me, so what else can I make? My only arrangement is to spend a simple New Year with the housekeeper, just like the past twenty years. No, there is one more thing this year, which is to wait for you to come back." Qiao Surong said lightly, and the air was filled with sourness.

Meng Zhiling felt a pang of sadness when she heard this. She could understand this feeling of desolation, especially when he said it. She could understand it even more, especially after he casually described how he had spent the previous twenty years. She just felt a pang of heartache.

Wasn't it the same every time I celebrated Christmas before? I would hide in a place where Absalom couldn't see me and say a few words from my heart to my parents, whose lives I didn't know whether they were alive or dead, even though it was possible that they had abandoned me.

She leaned forward and while Qiao Surong wasn't paying attention, she put her arm around his neck and said, "Okay, stingy guy, I won't go." Meng Zhiling looked at his pouting lips because of his anger, and she wanted to take a bite of them.

"Go, of course you should go. Didn't we agree on this a long time ago? At worst, I'll just follow your lead and we can go together. We'll just treat it as a trip. We haven't really traveled since we met. Now that's such a good opportunity, why don't you take advantage of it?" Qiao Surong couldn't bear to see her give up her previous plan for him.

So, I immediately made a decision. Since I had nothing to do during the New Year holidays, why not accompany her for a walk?

Isn’t this the best of both worlds!

"Is this really okay?" Meng Zhiling was a little embarrassed. After all, Li Yao had her parents at home. She and Yang Lan had already caused them a lot of trouble. If she brought a man with her, Li Yao would not say anything, and she was not afraid of Yang Lan complaining about their show of affection. She was just afraid that it would be inconvenient for everyone.

"So what do you say we should do?" Qiao Surong's face darkened again and he became a little upset again.

"I don't know either. I'm just afraid that when we go there, it will cause a lot of trouble for her parents." Meng Zhiling expressed her concerns and looked at Qiao Surong cautiously, hoping that he didn't think too much about it.

Although Qiao Surong was a jealous person, fortunately, he still had some common sense and was not the type to act irrationally. "No, then we can just stay at her house for one night. If that doesn't work, we can have a meal there and then stay in a hotel."

Qiao Surong said as a matter of course, of course, for him who has lived in big cities for a long time, it seems that he has overlooked that in some small towns and villages, there are not even inns, so where do the hotels come from?

"Mr. Qiao, Boss Qiao, I remember Li Yao said that their family lives in a remote mountain village in the northwest, and there may really be no hotel there!" Meng Zhiling looked at Qiao Surong with contempt, pouted, and really couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

"It's okay, I have a secret weapon, a secret weapon that can help me spend countless nights in the desert. Don't worry. Besides, I also have a project launching in the northwest at the beginning of the year, so it's a good opportunity for me to check it out in advance." Qiao Surong said confidently.

Finally, Meng Zhiling had no choice but to nod. It seemed that there was really no better way than this. If she left him alone in Linhai City, she would be worried when she went out to play. She didn't talk about the past, but now, she could obviously spend the first year with him, so why should they separate?

If the Hua family comes to "harass" him again, I'm afraid he will be in an even worse mood.

In this way, she met Yuan Yongkai once during this period, and Meng Zhiling was only concerned about the outcome of the case before she went to London. Yuan Yongkai originally wanted to suggest that Meng Zhiling come home to celebrate the New Year, but before he opened his mouth to propose, Meng Zhiling had already told him her plan.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m afraid that he will speak up, or that I’ll refuse him again and again.

On the evening of the meeting, Yang Lan received a call from Yuan Yongkai for the first time. She was so excited that the phone almost rang before the song was finished and the other party almost hung up.
