The mysterious CEO's endless pampering
Chapter 689 Jiang Meiling's Explanation
As Li Zhanting's good brother, Song Yue naturally had to protect his brother's wife, but it was his mother who wanted to hurt her.
This is probably what's known as the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Considering the feelings of both families, she tried to speak calmly, saying, "Aunt Li, no matter what your reason is, you can't be so crazy as to snatch the child. This is too irrational. Can't you sit down and talk things out? Look how scared you've made the child."
With the frantic fighting over the situation gone, the twins gradually stopped crying under Shen Yanran's comforting words, but their little noses were still twitching with discomfort.
Seeing them like this, Shen Yanran felt incredibly sorry for them. "Babies, be good, it's okay, Mommy's here, don't cry, don't cry."
The twins had always trusted Shen Yanran. After that frightening incident, although they stopped crying, their little hands still clung tightly to her clothes.
Especially An'an, who had just returned to Shen Yanran's embrace not long ago.
Shen Yanran's hands were trembling, but she dared not relax her guard at all, for fear that they would be taken away again.
Wen Qian, who is also about to become a mother, understands Shen Yanran's feelings at this moment. "Yanran, don't worry, I'm here with you. No one can hurt you."
After saying that, he comforted Shen Yanran by hugging her trembling body.
Wen Qian's arrival did indeed provide Shen Yanran with a lot of emotional support.
If it weren't for her timely appearance, she might not have been able to protect even one child.
Seeing Shen Yanran's helpers appear, Jiang Meiling realized she was outnumbered and powerless to do anything, so she could only grit her teeth and give up. "Fine, you have more people, so I won't fight you. But this isn't over. When I get back, I'll have a good talk with Zhan Ting's father about what happened today."
"You don't need to rush back to tell Zhong Nan. Tell me what exactly happened first!" A sharp voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Li Shengtian and Sun Mingyan rushed over and found the door wide open, knowing that something was wrong.
As they quickly walked a few more steps inside, they heard Jiang Meiling's threat.
Li Shengtian's face was very ugly. All along the way, he was really worried that his daughter-in-law, who was always confused, would do something too outrageous that he couldn't take back.
Surprisingly, the young man from the Song family was also there.
When Song Yue saw Li Zhanting's grandparents arrive, the gloomy expression on his face finally relaxed. "Grandpa Li, Grandma Li, you've arrived."
It's obvious without even guessing that they came here because Li Zhanting notified them.
That's fine, since it's their family, he shouldn't get too involved.
Sun Mingyan first looked at Shen Yanran, and seeing that nothing was wrong, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she nodded and said, "Yes, Yue, thank you for your hard work. And your wife, with such a big belly, you can leave things here to us. You should take her home to rest and not let it affect your health."
Song Yue turned around and saw Wen Qian and Shen Yanran hugging tightly. Thinking that they couldn't be separated for a while, he gently shook his head and said, "It's okay, Grandma Li. Our Qianqian and sister-in-law are best friends. We can't rest easy without her. I'll accompany them to another room to rest. You can try to persuade Aunt Li not to be so impulsive. I'll call Zhan Ting again and tell him not to worry."
Sun Mingyan seemed to understand Song Yue's meaning, "Alright, then I'll trouble you."
He then turned to Jiang Meiling with a serious expression and said, "Come with me, your father and I have something to say to you."
Jiang Meiling had planned everything perfectly, but with one after another coming to cause trouble, she was really losing face. "Mom, Dad... what do you want to say?"
Sun Mingyan glared at Jiang Meiling with great dissatisfaction, "Do we need to tell you what just happened?"
Jiang Meiling would never admit to stealing the child's attention. She had already prepared her answer in her mind and replied, "Nothing happened just now. I just wanted to take my grandchildren back to the old house for a couple of days. Shen Yanran wasn't too willing, and we had a little argument."
Li Shengtian's face darkened with displeasure, and he hissed, "So Yanran disagreed, so you just grabbed the child?"
Relying on their lack of evidence, Jiang Meiling lied without any guilt, saying, "I didn't rob them! I'm their grandmother, not a human trafficker. Why would I rob them? Mom and Dad, you must have misunderstood."
Li Shengtian and Sun Mingyan exchanged bewildered glances. How could this be different from what Li Zhanting had said on the phone?
Could it be that they really misunderstood?
Sun Mingyan sighed and said, "Okay, even if what you said is true, and you didn't snatch the child, then it's fine if Yanran doesn't agree to you taking the child away. Why did you have to argue with her? I saw that An'an and Ningning's eyes were red from crying. You must have scared them."
"Well, it's because I haven't seen them in so long, and I miss them so much. I wish I could be with them all the time. But Zhan Ting is away on a business trip, and Shen Yanran has to go to work every day. There's only one nanny at home taking care of them. She has to take care of three children all at once. How can she manage? I wanted to take the children with me to lighten Shen Yanran's burden!" Jiang Meiling explained herself, putting on an understanding expression.
Sun Mingyan thought it made sense, but Shen Yanran gave birth to twins, so where did the third child come from?
I was so angry and anxious just now that I didn't notice there was a child in the room.
Li Shengtian also looked puzzled. "Meiling, what do you mean by the three children you mentioned?"
Jiang Meiling feigned surprise and asked, "Huh? Mom and Dad, didn't you know? Shen Yanran brought a little boy, about eight years old, home to live with us a couple of days ago. She said he's quite pitiful and she wanted to take care of him for a while. I was traveling abroad and didn't know, so how come you weren't even told..."
Bringing an eight-year-old boy home?
Li Shengtian and Sun Mingyan had indeed not heard any news about them.
Jiang Meiling continued to express her concerns, "If this child is a friend's child staying here temporarily for a couple of days, it wouldn't matter. But from what Shen Yanran said, she's going to let that child stay for quite a while. What will happen to our children? They're so young. What if they get bullied?"
Sun Mingyan knew that Shen Yanran regularly sponsored a welfare home and was a kind and loving woman.
Since she brought that child home to take care of him, she must have had her reasons. Zhan Ting didn't tell them, perhaps because he didn't want them to worry too much.
However, the claim that the child would bully their great-grandson was merely Jiang Meiling's speculation, and definitely not an excuse for her to secretly take the twins back to the old house.
Sun Mingyan felt that her thoughts were a bit extreme. "Meiling, aren't you overthinking this? How could an eight-year-old boy bully people so easily?"
“How could that not be, Mom? You have no idea what that child has been through. He’s definitely not as simple as an eight-year-old. Before you came, he bit me hard, and I even bled. What normal child would bite someone like that?” Jiang Meiling said, showing the wound on her arm to the elderly couple.
Sure enough, there was a row of bleeding teeth marks on it.
Li Shengtian frowned slightly. "This child, at such a young age, is making such a fatal statement. It is indeed a bit inappropriate."
However, Sun Mingyan didn't think so. She felt that there were things they didn't know and that they shouldn't just listen to Jiang Meiling's words. "If you are truly worried about An'an and Ningning's safety, then you should discuss it properly with Yanran. How can you just take action like that!"
Jiang Meiling sincerely assured Sun Mingyan, "Mom, I was just too anxious and acted impulsively. I promise it won't happen again."
"You were such a steady person when you were young, how come you're so easily agitated and impulsive now that you're a grandmother?" Sun Mingyan didn't know what to say to Jiang Meiling.
"I'm sorry, Mom. I know I was wrong, and I didn't mean it. You have to help me explain to Zhan Ting properly, otherwise he'll be unhappy with me again."
"You know Zhan Ting wouldn't agree, yet you still acted so impulsively. Alright, I'll explain things to him for you today, but you're not allowed to do such foolish things again, understand?"
Jiang Meiling immediately nodded, "Yes, I understand, I won't be so impulsive again."
She finally managed to get through it.
Sun Mingyan didn't want her to just be perfunctory. "You'd better keep your word, otherwise if you really anger Zhan Ting, I won't be able to protect you."
The relationship between this mother and son is truly worrying.
I've never seen such an awkward relationship.
Jiang Meiling didn't respond, but changed the subject, saying, "Mom, look, my arm is still injured. I'll go to the hospital to get it checked out."
Sun Mingyan waved her hand, "Go, go. Staying here will only make Yanran more unhappy."
Jiang Meiling received permission and immediately turned to leave.
On the other side, Shen Yanran finally managed to coax the two children to sleep, and only then could she completely relax.
Wenqian stayed quietly by her side the whole time, not daring to disturb her.
Song Yue stood by the window, calling Li Zhanting to let him know they were safe. "Old Li, don't worry, we arrived in time. Your wife and kids are fine, and your grandparents are here too. Your mother shouldn't cause any more trouble."
Li Zhanting didn't care about Jiang Meiling's condition; all he wanted to hear now was Shen Yanran's voice. "Where's my wife? Let me say a few words to her."
Song Yue explained in a low voice, "Your son and daughter seem to have been frightened. Your sister-in-law is trying to put them to sleep. I'll have her call you back in a bit."
Li Zhanting responded in a low voice, "Mm."
Thinking about what had just happened, Song Yue analyzed, "By the way, do you know why your mom was so crazy today? It's because of the extra baby in your family. She seems to really dislike it, and your current nanny isn't acting normally either. You should fire her as soon as possible. I'll arrange a new one for you tomorrow."
