Seriously injured in a car accident, his wife confessed her love for his "white moonlight"

Seeing that Zhao Lei's complexion was getting worse and worse, Zhao's mother had no choice but to continue to mediate between the father and son.

"Leilei, are you hungry? How about Auntie gets you a bowl of porridge?"

Zhao Lei was unmoved. "I won't drink. What are you so smug about? If it weren't for Zhao Jing's good luck and her ability to curry favor, she wouldn't have gotten this project!"

"Yes... that Xu Tian is indeed Jing'er's benefactor..." Zhao's mother forced a smile.

Zhao Lei became even more disdainful, "Dad, what are you thinking? When has our Zhao family ever had the custom of waiting for the younger generation to eat? If word gets out, we'll be laughed at!"

Mother Zhao chimed in, "Yes, why don't we start eating first, without waiting for Jing'er?"

"I'm talking to my dad, not you!"

Zhao Lei rolled his eyes at her and said, "I think Zhao Jing's flattery skills came from someone else..."

Zhao's mother's face visibly darkened. Ever since she married into the Zhao family, she had already endured her mother-in-law's mistreatment, but this young lady didn't seem to take her seriously at all.

But in order for Jing'er to gain a foothold in the Zhao family in the future, she had no choice but to swallow her pride and do her best to secure more for Jing'er.

"Who taught you to talk to your elders like that?" Zhao Pengfei said authoritatively without being angry.

Zhao Lei was speechless and stood up abruptly.

"Fine, I won't eat then. I don't know what kind of airs she's putting on. The whole family waits for her to finish the meal. I think she's just spoiled!"

Just as Zhao Pengfei was about to lose his temper, he saw Zhao Jing hurriedly return from outside. His expression immediately brightened, and he quickly called her over.

"Jing'er is back. Sit down and eat. It's all your favorite food."

Zhao Jing looked at her mother suspiciously. "Did the sun rise in the west today?"

However, she washed her hands and sat down at the dining table as quickly as possible.

Zhao Lei said sarcastically, "The busy man is finally back. If he hadn't come back, none of us would have had anything to eat."

Zhao Jing rolled her eyes at him. She hadn't offended him in the past few days, and she had only met him no more than three times. Why was he targeting her?

However, she was already used to Zhao Lei's behavior; after all, he was a man and the eldest son of the Zhao family.

"Jing'er, don't listen to him. Quickly try what we've prepared today and see if it suits your taste."

Zhao Jing smiled sweetly at Zhao Pengfei and ate several bites of food to show her respect.

Zhao Pengfei then inquired about the progress of the project, and upon learning that everything was going smoothly, his smile only grew wider.

"Our Jing'er has grown up, all thanks to my excellent teaching!"

Zhao's mother chuckled coquettishly from the side, "Is it all your credit and nothing mine?"

Zhao Pengfei was taken aback for a moment, then patted her hand, "Of course you have, you deserve a lot of credit for raising such an outstanding daughter!"

Zhao Lei snorted and continued eating his meal.

Zhao's mother said with great insight, "Leilei has also made great progress."

"No, you're having a wonderful time as a family, don't drag me into it!" Zhao Lei said, unmoved.

Zhao Pengfei glared at him, "It would be better to use your talent for arguing in a good way. Learn from your sister; it will do you good!"

Zhao Lei was already unhappy. They took over his company and restricted his personal freedom. Now they were comparing him to Zhao Jing. He was furious.

"Yes, in your eyes, who isn't better than me? In that case, I'll leave and make room for your family!"

Zhao Pengfei's expression changed. "You bastard, you have no right to complain about this family!"

"Is there still a place for me here?" Zhao Lei asked rhetorically.

Zhao Pengfei looked at him with a gloomy expression, "You've gone too far! How dare you talk to me like that again?"

Zhao Lei was determined to cause a scene this time, so he completely ignored Zhao Pengfei's warnings and argued back with every word he said, eventually provoking Zhao Pengfei to anger.

"It's the mother's fault if the child isn't taught properly. I don't know what kind of ideas your mother has instilled in you, but this time I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

"Also, you're not allowed to go out and see your mother anymore!"

"You don't need to lift a finger, I'll move out of the house right now, so I won't be in your way!"

After saying that, Zhao Lei turned around and went upstairs to pack his things.

Seeing this, Zhao's mother hurriedly comforted him, "It's also my responsibility. I haven't been paying enough attention to Leilei. Don't be angry, I'll go up and talk to him."

"You stay seated and don't move! Let him go! Let's see where he can go after leaving the Zhao family!"

Zhao Pengfei raised his voice, deliberately making sure he could hear.

Zhao Jing ate and watched the show as if nothing was wrong. Although she didn't know why Zhao Pengfei was suddenly being so nice to her, she felt good as long as Zhao Lei was humiliated.

Zhao Lei packed his things and went downstairs. Seeing that no one wanted Lan, and seeing Zhao Jing's smug smile, he left in a huff.

"Dad, don't be angry. Don't hold a grudge against your unfilial son."

Zhao Jing picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Zhao Pengfei's bowl.

Zhao Pengfei composed himself and said, "Go to the Xu Group tomorrow morning. Chu Lan specifically asked to see you."

Zhao Jing was taken aback. "See me?"

Zhao Pengfei nodded. "It seems she values ​​you a lot. It's up to you to build a good relationship with the Xu Group. Don't let Dad down."

After going around in circles, Zhao Jing finally understood why Zhao Pengfei had been so good to her. So that was the reason. But Chu Lan could have easily found her through Xu Tian, ​​so why did she have to go through such a long and complicated process?

Following that, Zhao Pengfei gave her a few more instructions, essentially wanting Zhao Jing to take this opportunity to discuss the cooperation between the Zhao Group and the Xu Group with Chu Lan.

In order to please Zhao Pengfei, Zhao Jing listened very attentively.

After dinner, Zhao's mother went to Zhao Jing's room alone and put down a glass of milk.

"Mom, it's already past ten o'clock. You should go to sleep early. I can take care of whatever I need, so don't worry about it," Zhao Jing said with concern.

Zhao's mother sat on the bed, her shoulders shaking, as if she were crying.

Zhao Jing hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Mom? Did that bastard Zhao Lei bully you?"

Zhao's mother wiped away her tears. "My dear, you've had it so tough. Seeing how your father treated Zhao Lei today, I'm really afraid he'll treat you the same way in the future."

Zhao Jing comforted her, "That day will never come."

Zhao's mother sighed. Although Zhao Jing was also Zhao Pengfei's biological daughter, she could sense that Zhao Lei held a much more important place in Zhao Pengfei's heart than Zhao Jing.

If Zhao Jing had spoken like that today, she couldn't imagine what Zhao Pengfei would have done.

And then there's her mother-in-law, who has never been able to accept her and Jing'er. They've been married for so many years, yet she still won't let them go back to their hometown. In the end, it's because she's incompetent, and it's also causing Jing'er to suffer.

"Mom, don't be so subservient to Zhao Lei in the future. You're an elder after all. Just let him be."

It was rare for Zhao Jing to sit down and have a proper heart-to-heart talk with her mother like today.

Zhao's mother smiled and shook her head, "You don't understand, I did all this for you."

Zhao Jing lowered her eyelids. "When we were little, Zhao Lei bullied me. I told you about it, but I was the one who got beaten up. Was that also for my sake?"
