Chapter 117 - 117 117 Are You Really Okay

?Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Are You Really Okay? Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Are You Really Okay? You know, in such prestigious families, the utmost attention is given to propriety. Typically, the younger generations do not easily bring friends of the opposite sex home. When they do bring them home, it essentially signals a confirmation and acknowledgment of the relationships with these friends.

Yet, it was not until she gave birth to Ying’er and Xiao Yu that Zhu Zhizhou brought her to meet his parents. Despite that, she and her two daughters were still subject to disdain and ridicule from the elders.

“Mom, since you came with Dad and the others, where are they? How could they just leave you alone?” Zhu Qianyu finally recalls her initial question.

“Your father…has lost his senses!”

Honestly, over the past twenty-one years, Zhu Zhizhou hasn’t been particularly kind to her. This is the first time she has seen him looking like a wrathful demon, as if he wanted to take out his frustration on her.

Perhaps he is truly being driven into a corner. He thought that the Ji Family would be his last beacon of hope, but little did he know, this beacon was extinguished by the Ji Family before it even had a chance to light up.

Chen Jing used to think she was just a frog in a well, but now she realizes that compared to the Ji Family, Zhu Zhizhou and his son are also frogs in the well.

“What? Lost his senses?”

Temporarily confused by her mother’s words, Zhu Qianyu furrowed her brows to seek clarification.

Chen Jing had originally planned to withhold the truth from her daughter, but after hearing what her daughter said, she felt there was no need to hide it any longer.

In the end, both the older and younger daughters have a much better grasp on the true nature of Zhu Zhizhou and the Zhu Family compared to her.

Chen Jing briefly recounted how Zhu Zhizhou vented his anger at her in the hotel, which angered Zhu Qianyu to the point of trembling hands.

“Mom, don’t go back. I’ll talk to my sister and we can find a place for you to live in R City. I’ll live with you.”

“Qianyu…” Chen Jing felt awkward. Indeed, Ying’er had mentioned before that they would help her find a new place to live once Ying’er got married, but that would only be possible after the wedding.

“Mom, don’t worry about it. I’ll discuss it with my sister.”

As Zhu Qianyu spoke, she had already pulled out her phone to make a call. Chen Jing wanted to stop her, but it was too late.

“Sister, Mom was kidnapped by Dad and Zhu Junzhao this morning to have a negotiation with Uncle Ji and Aunt Tong in R City…”

Zhu Qianyu recited over the phone what Chen Jing had told her, spilling everything out to Zhu Qianying on the other end of the line.

“Sister, what I mean is this: I rent a house in R City and live with mom. After all, your wedding date is fast approaching, and there’s no need for Mom to return to the Zhu Family to face tyranny.”

When Zhu Qianyu finished her proposal, Chen Jing had no choice but to let her two daughters handle the arrangements.

They say, “Raise sons to provide for you in your old age,” but she’s not even old yet and her daughters are already so concerned about her welfare!

“Sister, is my arrangement okay?”

Zhu Qianying in L City only found out at this moment that her mother had been ‘kidnapped’ to R City, not to work as a caregiver.

However, hearing the details from Qianyu, she was very pleased and her impression of the Ji Family improved significantly.

However, the goodness of the Ji Family towards them cannot serve as a reason for them to pass on their burdens.

“Qianyu, your arrangement is good. However, have you forgotten that even your own safety is threatened. Is it really okay for you to keep mom in R City?”

Upon hearing her sister’s words, Zhu Qianyu realized that she had been driven around with bodyguards, ostensibly to protect her. If she brings her mom along, wouldn’t she be overtly complicating things for the Ji Family?

“Let’s do it this way, you should look after mom for tonight, and I’ll come pick her up tomorrow. Now that she’s fallen out with Dad, there’s nothing left to consider, and I’ll arrange her accommodation.”

Zhu Qianying, who was in L City, had already opened the property leasing webpage, preparing to temporarily lease an apartment to live with her mom.

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Qianyu called Le Tong, saying that there is some matter and she wishes to stay in the dormitory for one night.

Le Tong likely heard about Chen Jing’s meeting with Zhu Qianyu from the bodyguards. “Qianyu, did your mom come to visit you? What if you could bring your mom home with you, so we can have a meeting between our parents. Would that be okay?”

Le Tong had long heard about Zhu Qianyu’s mother from other sources. The words she said in the morning were not aiming at the invisible existence that was Chen Jing.

As a woman, Le Tong only felt pity for Chen Jing who was worthy of sympathy, yet also deserving of blame.

As a woman, it is pitiful and infuriating to live solely for a man’s affection, to forget even her basic dignity as a human being.

Of course, Le Tong hasn’t articulated these thoughts to anyone, after all, that is Zhu Qianyu’s mother, their future family.

“Aunt Tong, wouldn’t this be too troublesome for you?” Zhu Qianyu on the other hand was very hesitant.

Although she’s still young, she knew that she’s caused a lot of trouble for the Ji Family recently.

“What’s so troublesome about it? We only have a few people in our family, it’s only about cooking one more serving of food and one more set of tableware. When you finish school, come back with your mom. You mother and daughter can have a good chat for the evening, it’s settled. I have to hang up now!”

After Le Tong finished speaking, she denied Zhu Qianyu any opportunity to refuse and straightforwardly hung up the phone.

Zhu Qianyu hung up the phone, looked up at her mom and said, “Mom, Aunt Tong asked me to bring you home for dinner tonight, to have a meeting between our parents.”

Chen Jing was slightly timid, “Qianyu, is this really appropriate? This morning, I did create a disturbance at the Ji Family with your dad…”

Zhu Qianyu thought about the Ji Family’s attitude towards her, and then their attitude towards her father and older brother. With that, she was pretty sure that the Ji Family were people who clearly distinguished between love and hate.

“Mom, dad raised a ruckus, not you. Aunt Tong knows this very clearly. She had repeatedly insisted that I take you with me, which shows that they genuinely want to meet you. Given the circumstances earlier, even if she wanted to exchange pleasantries with you, it wouldn’t have been possible, right?”

Upon pondering, Chen Jing realized, indeed, if Aunt Tong and her family had treated her kindly this morning, it would have ended up harming Chen Jing.

“And besides, if Ji Huan and I are together you’re bound to meet them sooner or later. Rather than putting it off, it’s better to meet sooner. You can feel more at ease right, Mom?”

Listening to her daughter’s argument, what more reason does Chen Jing have to refuse?

Moreover, it is actually high time she met the parents on the other side in her capacity as a parent. For so many years, she has been shut in her own shell. Now, it’s time to fulfill her duty and responsibility as a mother.

“Alright, I will go with you tonight.” Finally, Chen Jing nodded her agreement.

However, even as she nodded, she felt apprehensive all the way.

Although she has limited knowledge, she had heard about the Ji Family in R City.

After all, back when she was a chef at Mingxuan Hotel, the Ji Family was one of Mingxuan’s main clients.

Was it okay for such a prestigious family to be so kind to her daughter?
