The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Li Zhanting briefly recounted what had just happened downstairs to Shen Yanran.

Shen Yanran suddenly realized that being a rich family's daughter wasn't easy, as she was being forced into blind dates by her parents.

But she quickly realized the crux of the problem, "But I remember you told me that Xintong has a boyfriend abroad, didn't she tell Mom?"

Li Zhanting sneered, "Do you think someone with my mother's personality would agree to Xintong marrying a man from an ordinary family?"

Shen Yanran thought for a moment and said, "People who can study abroad must come from very ordinary families, right?"

She recalled that when she wanted to study abroad, she inquired about tuition fees. For a slightly better school, including room and board, it would cost at least one million a year.

At that time, Shen Changtian always ignored her, giving her very little money for living expenses, let alone the expensive tuition.

So even though she had received an offer, she had no choice but to give it up and work part-time to save up enough money for her college tuition.

Li Zhanting explained calmly, "To our Li family, we are just an ordinary family, at least in my mother's eyes."

When Shen Yanran thought about Jiang Meiling's usual attitude towards her, she knew how much Jiang Meiling looked down on her.

Fortunately, Li Zhanting dotes on her and loves her, which prevents her from losing her sense of security and allows her to live happily in this family.

But Li Xintong is just a girl after all. She is not as powerful as Li Zhanting, so she can't resist Jiang Meiling for long. Sooner or later, it will be discovered that she already has a boyfriend.

Shen Yanran grew increasingly worried. "What can we do? Xintong can't keep her relationship with her boyfriend a secret forever..."

Li Zhanting knew that his kind and soft-hearted wife was definitely not just asking questions. "You really are a worrywart. Have you forgotten how she treated you back then?"

Shen Yanran didn't take the past to heart at all. "You said it yourself, back then, it was because of a misunderstanding with me that her attitude was so tough. Look, after she figured it out herself, her attitude towards me is quite good, isn't it? So if she and that boy really plan to be together for life, you, as her brother, must help her."

"When it comes to matters of the heart, only she can fight for it herself. Even if I help, it's just a temporary fix." Li Zhanting didn't really want to interfere in Li Xintong's love life.

"I don't care. If Mom objects again, you have to stand up for her." Shen Yanran didn't want to see Li Xintong suffer for love in the future.

Li Zhanting smiled helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Downstairs, Jiang Meiling was so angry with Li Xintong that she didn't eat much for breakfast, and by almost noon, her stomach was still aching.

Just as she was wondering whether she should take some medicine, a maid with a somewhat unfamiliar face brought a cup of hot tea to her. "Madam, is your stomach upset? I've made you some black tea, which will warm your stomach."

Seeing how perceptive she was, Jiang Meiling didn't refuse. "Hmm, it tastes good. Are you new here?"

Shen Yufei nodded silently and introduced herself: "Yes, Madam, my name is Wang Xiaoyu, and I just started working yesterday."

Jiang Meiling looked up and carefully examined the maid in front of her. She was short, thin, with dark skin, thick bangs, and black-rimmed glasses. She looked rather rustic, but she was surprised to find that her skills were quite good.

"Can you make anything else?" After drinking the black tea, Jiang Meiling felt a warmth in her stomach and realized she was actually a little hungry.

Shen Yufei nodded repeatedly, "Yes, madam. I can also make some noodles from my hometown. Would you like to try some?"

"Where is your hometown?" Jiang Meiling asked, showing some interest.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Shen Yufei replied, "My hometown... is Shaanxi."

"Shaanxi seems to have a lot of special noodle dishes, so please make me a bowl to try." Jiang Meiling was used to eating delicacies and really wanted to try something different.

If this were the old Shen Yufei, she probably wouldn't even know how to distinguish between sugar and salt, let alone cook. But after Li Zhanting sent her to that terrifying place, she might have starved to death long ago if she hadn't learned to cook!

The reason I made a good impression on Jiang Meiling today was to prepare for getting closer to Shen Yanran's child in the future.

She thought about it all night.

Given how much the Li family values ​​those two children, it would be impossible for her to get close to them easily on her own. The best way to torment Shen Yanran would be to find a way to steal the children away!

Jiang Meiling is definitely a great "helper"!

Shen Yufei quickly prepared a bowl of noodles with minced meat sauce and brought it to Jiang Meiling.

Jiang Meiling thought it smelled good and praised Shen Yufei a couple of times before starting to eat.

He also expressed satisfaction with her attentive attitude.

A short while later, Shen Yanran and Li Zhanting came downstairs, each carrying a child, seemingly about to leave the old house.

Seeing this, Jiang Meiling quickly stood up and asked, "Zhan Ting, what are you doing in the middle of the day?"

Li Zhanting glanced at her indifferently and said, "The 100-day celebration is over. I'm taking Yanran and the child home."

He inexplicably felt that the old house was no longer safe, so he simply led them away.

Jiang Meiling hurriedly spoke up to stop them, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? Stay a few more days so I can get closer to the children. Otherwise, they see me as if I'm a stranger, and it makes my heart ache."

Li Zhanting calmly refused, saying, "If you miss the children, you can come to my house to see them anytime. Besides, Yanran will be going back to work in a couple of days, so it's inconvenient for her to stay at the old house."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Meiling immediately glared at Shen Yanran with dissatisfaction, "The child is still so young, and you go to work. How much money can you earn? Can't you just stay at home and take care of the child?"

Shen Yanran knew that Jiang Meiling still had questions, so she patiently explained, "Mom, I've been on maternity leave for almost half a year now. I really can't take any more, or I'll become out of touch with the world. Besides, Aunt Wang is here at home, and she'll help me take care of the baby. My company is also close to home, so I can go home promptly if anything happens. Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

Jiang Meiling sneered disdainfully, "What's the point of working at such a small, run-down company? Women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. Your purpose in being here is to take good care of Zhan Ting and the children. Anyway, I don't agree with you going to work."

Li Zhanting stood in front of Shen Yanran with a cold expression and said, "You don't need to agree to this. I'm just telling you casually. You know it."

After saying that, he reached out his other hand, hugged Shen Yanran tightly, and left.

They didn't give Jiang Meiling a chance to speak again.

Jiang Meiling's blood pressure soared with anger. She really didn't understand why her son always sided with that woman, even though she was only thinking of him!

Seeing how protective Li Zhanting was of Shen Yanran, Shen Yufei was so jealous she was almost going crazy. She wished she could rush up and tear Shen Yanran's happy face to shreds.

But she gritted her teeth and endured it, not wanting all her previous efforts to be in vain!

Seeing Jiang Meiling trembling with anger, she immediately came up with a plan.

"Madam, are you alright, Madam!" Shen Yufei ran to Jiang Meiling and helped her to the sofa.

Jiang Meiling slammed her hand on the sofa and roared, "You, Shen Yanran, really think you can gain status just because you had a child? You don't even listen to me. I'll show you what I'm capable of sooner or later!"

While patting Jiang Meiling's back to help her catch her breath, Shen Yufei said in a serious tone, "Madam, forgive me for speaking frankly, but your daughter-in-law is really outrageous. Not only does she disrespect you at all, but she also took your grandson away, not giving you any chance to get close to her. She doesn't want your grandson to recognize you as his grandmother!"

"Even you can see it, my silly son still treats her like a treasure, it really breaks my heart!" Jiang Meiling has wanted to hold her grandson for a long time, and now that she finally got to hold him, she's been taken away again after only a few days of getting close to him. How could she not overthink it?

Even a servant in the old house has figured it out, which shows how vicious Shen Yanran is!

Shen Yufei's dark eyes flashed for a moment before she said, "Madam, if you don't mind, I can give you an idea that will ensure your grandson will only be close to you from now on and ignore his unkind mother."

Jiang Meiling was just wondering how to deal with Shen Yanran when someone offered her a suggestion. She immediately asked with interest, "Tell me about it."

Shen Yufei raised an eyebrow and gently pressed Jiang Meiling's shoulder while giving her advice, "My idea is this: the reason why the mother and child are close is mainly because she breastfeeds the child. It's the same principle as raising a pet. Whoever feeds it, it will be close to that person. You can do the same."

Jiang Meiling rebuked her angrily, "How dare you talk like that, comparing my grandson to those beasts!"

Shen Yufei quickly comforted her, "Madam, please don't be angry. Listen to me. My words may be rough, but they make sense. Think about it, when Shen Yanran goes to work, she certainly can't breastfeed the baby anytime. She will definitely express the milk in advance, put it in the refrigerator, and then have the servants heat it up for the baby. You can take this opportunity to take over the baby's feeding duties yourself and give the baby some nutritious and delicious formula. Over time, the baby will definitely not want to drink Shen Yanran's breast milk anymore, and their relationship will not be as close. Instead, the baby will prefer to be with you!"

Jiang Meiling had no experience in taking care of babies, but after listening to Shen Yufei's words, she seemed to think they made a lot of sense. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Your idea is good. Whenever Shen Yanran goes to work, I will go over and feed the baby with formula. Let's see what right she has to disobey me in the future!"
