"Mom..." Tao Zi called softly out of politeness. That moment of hesitation revealed the current gap between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Taotao, are you free tomorrow? Mom invites you to dinner. Are you coming to eat at home? Or do you want to go out to eat?" Yan Zhuang's tone was as affectionate as before.

While answering the phone, Tao Zi clicked the mouse aimlessly and entered her novel page. She found that there were a lot of reminders in the message board. She was afraid that she would give up because she hadn't updated in a long time...

She thought for a moment and said, "Let's just stay at home." After all, Ning's house was empty now. She thought that Yan Zhuang wouldn't be so stupid and would talk to her when Ning Zhenqian was at home. And, most importantly, Yan Zhuang wouldn't be so stupid.

What's more, she has to sort out her things and take out her notebook. All her manuscripts are in it. Even if the marriage cannot continue, she still has to write down her manuscripts.

"Okay, mom will be waiting for you at home tomorrow. Go to bed early and don't think too much. Mom is a woman too. The most important thing for a woman is to treat herself well, you know?"

"Yeah." She responded softly. If it hadn't been for the quiet night, she might not have heard it at all...

Yan Zhuang knew that she had a knot in her heart, so he didn't want to say more, and he stopped being verbose. He decided to wait for her at home at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

When Tao Zi returned to Ning's house the next day, Yan Zhuang was indeed alone, not even the nanny was there.

Everything about the Ning family is so familiar to her.

Retro decoration, furniture exuding a simple atmosphere, grand, simple, warm yellow lighting, plus some small furnishings thoughtfully arranged by Yan Zhuang, you will feel the warmth of home as soon as you walk in.

She used to be so obsessed with this warmth, especially later, when Yan Zhuang put a photo of the four members of his family in Yunnan into a photo frame. Every time she came home and saw that photo, she would be so happy for a long time. That meant,

They are a real family. Although, in order to take this photo, she used all kinds of tricks to deceive and threaten the piece of wood. Although, in the photo, he and Ning Jinping are obviously competing to see whose face is darker, but,

That was their only family photo...

Thinking of those days, I was so happy...

Yan Zhuang said that when she has a baby, she will take a real family photo... 13acv.

However, what about now? There are only four words: things are different and people are different...

The Ning family finally has a baby, but the heroine in the family portrait has to be replaced...

Yan Zhuang had already cooked and prepared the dinner himself, and was setting the table with a smile on his face.

Out of habit, Tao Zi also stepped forward to help. In the past, she happily followed Yan Zhuang to help her, and took care of the two men of the Ning family with her...

I still remember the first time I had dinner with the Ning family and was choked by two black-faced men at the table until I lost all my appetite...

Oh, those days are really yesterday from now on...

She silently placed the dishes and chopsticks and sat down on the seat that belonged to her. No, this seat would soon belong to another person...

"Come, Taotao, let's have a bowl of soup to warm your stomach first." Yan Zhuang served her a bowl of fragrant fish soup. This was specially made for her. The Ning family rarely eats fish.

She quickly caught it with both hands, "Mom, how can I ask you to serve me soup? I can't afford it."

Yan Zhuang stared at her deeply, "Are you separated from your mother? It wasn't your mother who gave you food in the past?"

Tao Zi was speechless. This is a fact...

"Let's eat first, just us mother and daughter, and then we'll talk after we finish eating!" Yan Zhuang sighed softly.

The three words "mother and daughter" still touched the most sensitive chord in Tao Zi's heart, and the tip of her heart felt hot.

"Okay, Mom, you eat." Tao Zi chose a piece of meat with the fewest fish bones for Yan Zhuang.

Yan Zhuang smiled and accepted.

The two of them were about to start eating when the doorbell rang.

"I'll go take a look." Yan Zhuang was confused, who could it be? She had agreed with her husband and son not to come back today, so she was talking to Tao Zi alone.

However, at first glance, the visitor turned out to be Feng Peihong...

"Yan Zhuang, I know you are at home, open the door." Feng Peihong's voice came from the intercom.

When they were young, although Mo Gang and Ning Jinping were related as driver and chief, they were close to each other, so Feng Peihong and Yan Zhuang were also close. Among family members, Yan Zhuang did not pretend to be the chief's wife.

I'm used to the name.

Yan Zhuang glanced at Tao Zi in the restaurant, feeling a little helpless, but due to Feng Peihong's health, it was impossible not to open the door, so he had to open the door, but he didn't forget to call Ning Jinping. He didn't know what Feng Peihong was doing, and what was Mo Gang doing?

She didn't come because she was afraid something might happen and she had to ask her husband for help.

"Taotao, please go into the room first." Yan Zhuang turned around and shouted to Tao Zi. No matter what the purpose of Feng Peihong's visit was, it would be best not to meet Tao Zi. She had to sigh, Yan Zhuang could not win anything in her life.

A major event, now, we have really encountered a big problem, and we have fallen into a state of confusion...

Tao Zi didn't know who was coming, but during this sensitive period, it was probably someone she couldn't see conveniently. At this point, she believed Yan Zhuang and entered Ning Zhenqian's room with her bag.

As soon as the door was closed, Feng Peihong came in.

"Pei Hong, why are you free today? Please come in." Yan Zhuang greeted warmly. In the past few years, the Mo family almost never came to the Ning family, and it was mostly the Ning family who came to visit her.

Feng Peihong smiled, stretched her neck and looked behind Yan Zhuang, "I'm here to see the children."

"Oh..." Yan Zhuang thought, so Feng Peihong already knew? Didn't Qianqi keep it secret from the two of them? "Please come in." She smiled along with him.

Feng Peihong also came in with a smile and sighed, "Yan Zhuang, my worries for many years are finally over..."

"Yes! It will be good when the child is back..." Yan Zhuang was not sure how much Feng Peihong knew, and he did not dare to answer easily. He only said, "Have you eaten yet? Let's eat together."

Feng Peihong waved her hands and said with a smile, "After we have eaten, how can we bother the chief's wife? However, we will be a family soon..."

Yan Zhuang smiled and said, "Look what you said, we are a family!"

"Yes! We are a family..." Feng Peihong's eyes lit up, and then he looked around, "Hey, where are the children? Why are they missing?"

"Ah?" Yan Zhuang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "They...have all gone out..." Apparently, Feng Peihong didn't know about Qianqi's illness...

"Really? What a coincidence..." Feng Peihong looked at the Ning family, "Then you eat first, and I'll take a look around!"

Yan Zhuang poured her a glass of water so that she could not look at it casually. He sat down with her and said, "It's okay. I've eaten something and want to talk to you. The two of us haven't spoken for a long time."

"Yeah...it's been quite a few years..." An unspeakable bitter smile appeared on Feng Peihong's face, "I haven't been able to let go of you all these years, and I still can't let go of you. Now I'm fine, everything will be fine..."

"Yes...I'm getting better..." Yan Zhuang smiled with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Feng Peihong's eyes suddenly fell on the photo of the Ning family of four next to the TV. To be precise, it fell on Tao Zi. In the photo, Tao Zi held Ning Zhenqian's arm affectionately, like a little bird.

Smiling very happily...

Feng Peihong's eyebrows frowned, "Yan Zhuang, should you take this photo?"

Yan Zhuang vaguely understood what she meant. He pretended to look at the photo and smiled, "Yes! I said it must be taken off! I didn't make up, and I looked haggard. The photo didn't look good at all, but Jin Ping had to let it go.

superior!"

Ning Jinping's big black face is still very lethal in front of outsiders. No one dares to disobey Ning Jinping's authority, not even Feng Peihong.

Hearing what Yan Zhuang said, Feng Peihong couldn't talk about the photo anymore, but there was a lot of displeasure on her face, "Yan Zhuang, please stop being rude to me. Are you not good-looking? We are the same age. Look at what you look like now.

And what am I like!"

Even though Yan Zhuang was so eloquent, facing Feng Peihong like this, he still felt guilty and pitiful, and could no longer bear to say perfunctory words.

She is the same age as Feng Peihong, but she still has black hair. Although her skin has some light traces of aging, it still has elasticity. Her figure is slightly plump, but has no fat and is only slightly rounded. But Feng Peihong is very different. Because she has been taking medicine all year round,

Her figure has been severely out of shape, and she cannot even take care of herself when she is ill. Her hair is gray and her face is covered with wrinkles. She and she seem to be twenty years apart...

"Yan Zhuang, I'm not blaming you. You know, I'm an outspoken person. Don't take it to heart if I say anything. I just hope that the children will settle down soon and live a peaceful life. Could it be that

Don’t you hope that’s the case?”

"Yes... of course I hope..." Yan Zhuang lowered his eyelids.

"That's enough!" Feng Peihong still stared at the photo and said slowly, "Yan Zhuang, I came today, firstly, to see the children, and secondly, I want to talk to you about this little Zhen and

When are you going to take care of our baby’s affairs?”

"This... let's take a long-term view..." Yan Zhuang forced a smile and delayed.

"A long-term plan? Yan Zhuang... Your Ning family doesn't want to bully others, right? Our baby even gave birth to a son for you! Is it easy for her to be a girl with a child outside for so many years? Yan Zhuang, I am

He is a solid person, unlike you official wives, who have turned ninety-nine and eighty-one bends in their intestines. I just want to say one word, where do you plan to put our baby and the grandson of your Ning family!?" Feng Peihong said with a sullen face.

Aggressive.

Escape is not an option after all.

Yan Zhuang felt that he was forced to a cliff and had no way to retreat...

"Peihong..." She confessed sincerely, "This is the children's own business, we adults can't make the decision...and..." And the most important thing now is to treat the disease, but can you tell Feng Peihong about Qianqi?

sick?

"What do you call the children's own business? The children have been born and you, as an elder, are still going to sit back and ignore them? Yan Zhuang, this is not how you throw away the burden! What do you think of my daughter? You will let my daughter drag you away for the rest of her life.

How can your Ning family's child survive in the eyes of the world? Are you going to force her to death? If so, I will take my daughter and die in front of you together with your Ning family's grandson!" Feng Peihong was extremely excited and slapped her

The coffee table stood up.

Yan Zhuang felt a headache, so he pulled Feng Peihong to comfort him, "That's not what you meant! Peihong... How could our Ning family not care about Qian Qi and their children? Don't worry, we will definitely take care of them to the end!"

"What do you care about? How do you care about it? Do you still plan to let our baby match that little Jianren sister?" Feng Peihong asked sharply.

Yan Zhuang frowned and said, "Peihong, this is not nice to say. What is a Xiaojian person? Taotao is innocent. No matter what the outcome is in the future, Taotao is also a member of our family! She is a Xiaojian person.

,Then what am I? Lao Jianren?"

"Your family? Innocent? You protect her like this? What about our baby? Does she deserve it? Yes! She does deserve it! Her biggest sin is that she takes Xiao Zhen too seriously! Even she has been punished for her whole life.
