Chapter 116 - 116 116 Blame Mother sorry for making you

?Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Blame Mother, sorry for making you suffer. Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Blame Mother, sorry for making you suffer. Zhu Zhizhou spat his words and lunged forward, viciously grabbing Chen Jing’s arm.

Fortunately, she was only left with one hand free, and although he wanted to hurt her, he simply didn’t have the strength to do so
With a slight struggle, Chen Jing broke free from his grasp. She nimbly shifted her body and sat on the other end of the sofa.

“I didn’t even know that Xiao Yu had a boyfriend. How could I have spoken to the Ji family about it in advance?”

Chen Jing, for the first time, openly rebuked him, leaving Zhu Zhizhou nonplussed.

Reflecting on her words, Zhu Zhizhou saw her point – considering her usually timid demeanor, there was no way she could mastermind such a scheme.

“If it wasn’t you, it must’ve been that brat Ying’er.”

Speaking of his daughter Zhu Qianying, He gritted his teeth in anger.

Had it not been for her, Yan Shao would never have made such a “true love declaration,” blocking all his retreat paths.

“Ying’er has been busy preparing for her wedding these days, hasn’t she? She hasn’t been home for many days. She has no time or energy to bother with these matters”
In the past, no matter how badly Zhu Zhizhou or any of the aunties slandered her daughters in front of her, she would feel sad but never retort.

Now, having lost all hope in Zhu Zhizhou and the entire Zhu family, her maternal instincts began to simmer to the surface.

Hearing Zhu Zhizhou speak ill of her eldest daughter, she was indignant.

“Oh, now that your two daughters have accomplished something and married well, have you grown wings of your own? Daring to talk back to me?”

Zhu Zhizhou’s gaze was menacing, as he once again stepped at Chen Jing.

Chen Jing was scared, but for once, she wanted to stand up for her daughters and refused to back down easily. But seeing Zhu Zhizhou inch closer, driven by survival instincts and tremendous pressure, she stood up swiftly, her mind a blank slate, impulsively lunged for the door, opened it and ran.

Zhu Zhizhou, injured by Ji Huan, had been hospitalized for a couple of days and had only been discharged the day prior. His health was still fragile. As Chen Jing ran out of the door, he immediately gave chase. But by the time he reached the elevator, panting heavily, the elevator doors had shut.

Once he made it to the lobby, there was no sign of Chen Jing.

Chen Jing, who had rushed downstairs, immediately hailed a taxi.

After getting into the cab, Chen Jing quickly checked her pockets. Thankfully, she had her mobile phone and enough change to cover the taxi fare to R University.

About ten minutes later, when Chen Jing had finally calmed down, she pulled out her phone, found her younger daughter’s number and dialed.

After two rings, an answer came from the other side. Zhu Qianyu spoke in a low voice, “Mom, I’m in class. Please call me later!”

With that, she immediately hung up.

Chen Jing was left in disarray, and after some thought, decided to text her instead.

Barely a few seconds after sending the text, her phone rang again. It was Xiao Yu.

“Mom, why did you suddenly show up? Does my sister know? Is Auntie giving you a hard time again?”

Zhu Qianyu’s rapid-fire questions left Chen Jing unsure which one to answer first.

“Mom, say something!” Zhu Qianyu’s voice sounded anxious.

“Xiao Yu, Mom is fine. I will alight at the South Gate soon. If possible, could you ask for a leave and meet me there?”

The magnitude of what had happened was too great to be explained over a call. Chen Jing admitted inwardly that she was incapable of doing so anyway.

“Alright, call me when you reach the South Gate. My classroom is in that vicinity”
About twenty minutes later, Chen Jing met her younger daughter, Zhu Qianyu, at the guard post of the South Gate.

“Mom, did you come here by yourself? Does my sister know?”

Chen Jing shook her head. “She doesn’t.”

Even Chen Jing herself only knew that Zhu Zhizhou was taking her to R City after boarding the plane.

“So you came by yourself? What happened? Did Auntie bully you again?”

As Zhu Qianyu spoke, she pulled Chen Jing closer, checking her face and neck for any signs of injury. After confirming that her mother bore no signs of harm, she finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Chen Jing was filled with regret. As a mother, she failed to protect her pair of daughters and had instead burdened them, particularly her eldest.

She silently let her daughter fuss over her for a while. After a long time, she managed to pull herself out of her self-blame.

“Xiao Yu, they didn’t do anything to me. I came with your father and your older brother.”

Her words surprised Zhu Qianyu, who immediately shot her a worried look. “You came here with Dad and Zhu Junzhao? What are they trying to do?”

Since Zhu Qianyu had previously been warned by Ji Huan and Zhu Qianying, she immediately made the connection. “They didn’t come to mess with Uncle Ji and Aunt Tong, did they?”

Hearing her daughter addressing the two formidable figures they met in the morning with such intimacy, Chen Jing didn’t know how to feel.

“Xiao Yu, do you know Mr. Ji and Ms. Le?” Chen Jing asked cautiously.

Despite witnessing the morning’s events and seeing Ji and Le’s preference for her daughter, she never imagined her daughter had such a close relationship with the two powerful figures.

“Mom, come with me!”

Zhu Qianyu led Chen Jing out of the guard room and into a nearby coffee shop. She found a table and sat down.

She outlined their encounters with Ji Huan to Chen Jing, from their first meeting to recent events.

The brief narration was already too much for Chen Jing to digest. After a long while, she finally recovered.

“Are you saying that you’re living with the Ji family now?”

Zhu Qianyu nodded. “Yes, Aunt Tong and Uncle Ji are very good to me. I think they’re worried that Zhu Junzhao might try to pull something behind Dad’s back, so they persuaded me to stay with them.”

Chen Jing thought about the events of the past few days. Indeed, that seemed to be a valid possibility.

“Ah…” Chen Jing sighed, “It’s all my fault that you and your sister have suffered these years. Zhu Shaofen would never back down easily. After failing with your sister, she may try to recover her losses from you.”

Chen Jing took hold of Zhu Qianyu’s hand, gently patting the back of her hand.

“This morning, I accompanied your father to the Ji Corporation. Mr. Ji, Ms. Le, and their eldest son all seemed sharp and astute. Are they really good to you?”

Even now, Chen Jing harbored doubts. Perhaps because she had experienced too much deception from Zhu Zhizhou, she found it hard to believe in the promises made by the wealthy.

“Mom, rest assured, they’re all very kind to me. I even met Grandpa Ji with them two days ago. Aunt Tong also asked me to allocate some time to visit her family.”

To reassure her mother, Zhu Qianyu spilled all the love and care she had received in the Ji family.

Hearing Zhu Qianyu’s account, Chen Jing felt a lot more at ease.
