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

Although so many years have passed and she has grown up, she still needs an explanation.

Zhao's mother looked at her with eyes full of guilt, opened her mouth, but didn't know where to begin.

The room fell silent, until Zhao Jing forced a smile and changed the subject.

After Zhao's mother left, the smile on Zhao Jing's face returned to its desolate state.

She can fight for what she doesn't have, but she doesn't want the people who gave her birth and raised her to compromise for her sake.

The next day, Zhao Jing rushed to the Xu Group early in the morning to go to work, but unexpectedly Zhang Qian was there as well.

She came for the engagement. The project she won was originally from Chu Lan, so of course she hoped that Chu Lan could attend the engagement ceremony.

Firstly, it lets the outside world know that Hengtong Group and Xu's Group still maintain a close cooperative relationship; secondly, she personally delivers the invitation to show her regard for Chu Lan.

The atmosphere became tense as soon as the two met, but since this was the Xu Group, they both restrained their emotions.

"What a coincidence!" Zhang Qian said with a smile.

Zhao Jing returned a smile, "There's no need for formalities between us."

Zhang Qian continued with a smile, "You're right, but Xu Tian has been with me for so many years, and you know how he's treated me. How can you be completely indifferent?"

Zhao Jing frowned slightly, not understanding what she meant by suddenly saying this.

“There’s no future for you two,” Zhang Qian said confidently.

Instead of getting angry, Zhao Jing smiled and said, "Let's not talk about whether there will be a future for us, but I know that you and Xu Tian are completely out of the running."

Zhang Qian snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Chu Lan's secretary walked over at that moment.

"Is Mr. Chu finished with his work?" Zhang Qian asked with a fawning smile.

The secretary smiled and nodded. "President Chu asked me to come down and tell you that she knows about your engagement, but it might not be convenient on that day, and she's not sure if she can make it, so she asked me to prepare a gift for you in advance."

As he said this, the secretary handed over the things that Chu Lan had asked him to give her.

Zhang Qian was flattered and hurriedly accepted the shopping bag. After exchanging a few polite words, she left.

Zhao Jing was utterly disdainful. Although the shopping bag contained luxury goods, she could tell at a glance that they were gifts given to VIC customers by the brand during holidays. Chu Lan didn't take her seriously at all, and found her smug look ridiculous.

"Please come up with me, Mr. Zhao."

The secretary then led Zhao Jing to the elevator and into Chu Lan's office.

This was Zhao Jing's first time here, so she was very reserved. After all, she was meeting her idol, and she couldn't act like usual.

"any drinks?"

Chu Lan stood up and sat down on the sofa opposite her with a smile.

Zhao Jing waved her hand, "No need, Mr. Chu. What brings you here today?"

Chu Lan explained her birthday in a simple and straightforward manner. After listening, Zhao Jing immediately promised that Zhao Pengfei would reserve the most luxurious banquet hall for her and make sure it was beautifully organized.

"Did you know about Zhang Qian's engagement?" Chu Lan asked.

Zhao Jing nodded. "Yesterday at the construction site, she couldn't wait to inform Xu Tian. I was there too."

Chu Lan's eyes flashed, "Then... what is Xu Tian's attitude?"

"Him! He can..."

Zhao Jing realized she was being a bit rude and quickly corrected herself, saying, "He didn't say anything. After all, they're divorced, and it's none of his business who Zhang Qian gets engaged to."

Hearing Zhao Jing say that, Chu Lan's heart calmed down.

Chu Lan had witnessed how good Xu Tian had been to Zhang Qian over the years. When she learned of Zhang Qian's engagement, Chu Lan panicked, fearing that Xu Tian might try to win Zhang Qian back because of it.

"She's getting engaged, will you go?" Zhao Jing asked tentatively.

Chu Lan laughed, "I'll go, but not to her engagement party."

Zhao Jing looked at her, puzzled.

Chu Lan then explained, "It's said that Zhang Qian's engagement banquet will also be held at Huaxiang."

Zhao Jing snorted coldly, "She can forget about it!"

"Huaxiang is one of the few places in Jiangcheng that specializes in hosting banquets, so it's normal for her to choose it."

Chu Lan said calmly.

Zhao Jing looked at her suspiciously.

"Huaxiang is a place that's open for business, I don't think there's any need to interfere in this matter, what do you think?"

Chu Lan had her own plans. Since Xu's mother had instructed her to handle things well, and Zhang Qian had even taken the initiative to come to her door, this was a very good opportunity.

"Alright then, but Huaxiang's best banquet hall will still be reserved for you," Zhao Jing said reluctantly.

Chu Lan smiled and thanked her, then let Zhao Jing leave.

Throughout the journey, Zhao Jing couldn't understand why Chu Lan had spoken up for Zhang Qian today.

Could it be that Xu Tian persuaded Chu Lan?

He and Chu Lan have such a good relationship, it wouldn't be a problem for Chu Lan to say a few words for Zhang Qian, so why did Xu Tian do this?

Zhao Jing was completely baffled!

When she returned home and intended to tell Zhao Pengfei about the birthday party, she found an uninvited guest at her house.

Her grandmother, Zhao Pengfei's mother, Zhao Yazhi!

Zhao Yazhi divorced when Zhao Pengfei was young and raised him alone, which is why she changed his surname to Zhao.

At this moment, Zhao Pengfei sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, like a doting old man, while Zhao Yazhi was beside him, showing concern and care for her grandson.

Zhao's mother was in a terrible situation. When Zhao Yazhi was young, she divorced her husband because of his infidelity and ran away with Zhao Pengfei.

After Zhao Pengfei divorced, he quickly remarried Zhao's mother. Due to this preconceived notion, Zhao Yazhi always felt that Zhao's mother was a homewrecker who broke up other people's families.

In addition, he had experienced his family being destroyed by a mistress when he was young, so he had a lot of opinions about Zhao's mother and Zhao Jing, to the point of disgust.

Zhao Jing felt heartbroken watching her mother serve the two of them tea and water, but Zhao Yazhi was an elder, so she couldn't get angry.

Fortunately, Zhao Pengfei returned, which gave Zhao's mother a moment to catch her breath.

"Why are you doing all this? Where's the housekeeper?"

Zhao Yazhi looked at Zhao Pengfei with displeasure, her tone tinged with displeasure.

"What's the point of marrying a wife? Isn't it to have children and take care of the family? Look at her, she's not even as good as a nanny, she almost scalded me to death with the tea she brewed!"

Zhao's mother was pale and her eyes were red, but she still held back her tears and dared not refute.

Seeing this, Zhao Jing was furious. She stood in front of her mother and said loudly, "Grandma, your thinking is so outdated. Besides, my mother isn't a nanny; she's my father's lawfully wedded wife! Insulting her like this is insulting my father!"

Zhao Yazhi never expected that the little brat who used to not even dare to raise her head when she saw her would dare to talk back. She was so angry that she trembled all over and raised her hand to hit Zhao Jing.

Fortunately, Zhao Pengfei stopped him.

"Mom, don't be angry. Jing'er is all grown up now. We can't treat her like she did when she was little."

While comforting Zhao Yazhi, Zhao Pengfei gave Zhao Jing a meaningful look, signaling her to take Zhao's mother away first.

Zhao Jing understood and led her mother into the room.
