Chapter 83 - 83 83 It Might Be Love at First Sight

?Chapter 83: Chapter 83: It Might Be Love at First Sight Chapter 83: Chapter 83: It Might Be Love at First Sight For the safety of her mother, Zhu Qianying moved back from the hotel to her home, avoiding unnecessary conflicts with the Zhu family by spending her day writing and drawing at home.

Chen Jing, this time, seemed to have truly given up on Zhu Zhizhou. She couldn’t care less about the messy bedroom and had not stepped foot in the kitchen anymore, spending her entire day watching television in Xiao Yu’s bedroom. From time to time, she would talk to her eldest daughter, Zhu Qianying, and sleep in.

The mother and daughter would eat on schedule and leave as soon as they finished, not living too leisurely.

“Mom, you finally act like a lady of the Zhu family, instead of a cook at everyone’s beck and call!”

Zhu Qianying knew that her mother had finally seen the light and was speaking more straightforwardly.

“Ying’er, if only your mother had realized sooner, you and Xiao Yu would not have had to suffer so much.”

Zhu Qianying smiled, “It’s fine as it is now. As long as you’re able to realize and make changes, it’s better than not realizing at all, even if it’s late.”

Chen Jing thought about it, thinking that what was said made sense, and she also gave a hearty smile, “Ying’er, after your wedding, take me to R City to see Xiao Yu. I want to see where she studies.”

“Sure!” Zhu Qianying was delighted.

Her mom had been so naïve for over twenty years, and was late in seeing things clearly, but it was still better than continuing to be ignorant till death, wasn’t it?

At least for now, after she and Yanhuang got married, the three of them could live a normal life without suffering from unwarranted bullying and cold stares within the Zhu family anymore.

“Mom, has Xiao Yu mentioned anything about a boyfriend to you?”

Zhu Qianying remembered a few days ago when she saw her sister in R City, something seemed off.

Zhu Qianying suspected that she was in love, the little girl was eighteen years old, and being troubled by love was normal.

“Xiao Yu has a boyfriend? She never mentioned it to me!” Chen Jing was confused.

Actually, when Zhu Qianying asked this, it was more out of curiosity and wishful thinking: with the attention Chen Jing used to give the sisters, even if Xiao Yu really had something going on, she would definitely seek help and vent to her sister Zhu Qianying, not to her mother.

“Oh, then there is none, I was just curious. A lot of university students are dating now, and I thought she would follow the trend. Moreover, Xiao Yu is so beautiful and adorable, it’s impossible for her not to have suitors.”

Xiao Yu is now a sophomore, but apart from mentioning to Zhu Qianying about a married man who had bad intentions towards her, she had never mentioned other boys.

Chen Jing was silent for a good while, then staring at Zhu Qianying, she said, “Ying’er, you and Xiao Yu, have you lost faith in love because of me?”

Zhu Qianying was stunned for a moment, to tell the truth, she had!

However, she have not completely lost faith in love, but just has no expectations for it.

Seeing that her daughter was silent, Chen Jing knew that her guess was right.

“Ying’er, I’m sorry, look at how I…”

Zhu Qianying didn’t want to watch her mother fall into self-blame again. She pushed with her foot, and the chair slid her in front of Chen Jing, “Mom, aren’t I doing pretty well with Yanhuang now? Confidence or not, the key is the person.”

Although, strictly speaking, she and Yanhuang were not even friends, let alone lovers.

They were just crickets at both ends of a string, tied together due to their different needs.

Of course, she couldn’t let her mother know these, otherwise, she would surely become remorseful and self-blaming again.

“You and Yanhuang… I thought…”

Chen Jing looked at her daughter uncertainly, hesitating whether to voice her thoughts.

“You thought there’s no love between us?” Zhu Qianying grinned, “Mom, haven’t you heard? They say love at first sight is based on appearance. What do you think the chances of love at first sight are for Yanhuang and me with our looks?”

Zhu Qianying was clearly telling a bare-faced lie, but she spoke so confidently that Chen Jing looked at her suspiciously, ultimately deciding to believe her.

She breathed a long sigh of relief, “As long as you and Yanhuang truly have feelings for each other, it’s fine. I thought you were doing this for me and Xiao Yu…”

Zhu Qianying patted Chen Jing’s hand, “Mom, do I look that noble to you? I am very selfish, don’t worry.”

Chen Jing bowed her head and stared at her own fingers for quite a while before she finally spoke softly, “I’d rather you and Xiao Yu be a little selfish. Just make sure to grasp your own happiness. As for me, I have gone through all these years, I don’t mind continuing this way!”

Zhu Qianying understood her mother’s worries and what she meant by her words, but how could she ignore her closest family member?

“Mom, you’re not even forty yet, you don’t need to worry about me and Xiao Yu, seize the opportunity to bravely find your second spring.”

Zhu Qianying’s impassioned tone and exaggerated expression made Chen Jing laugh nonstop.

Chen Jing who finally stopped laughing, “Ying’er, forget about my second spring, the most important thing is that you and Xiao Yu find a good partner.”

This conversation was the deepest heart-to-heart talk between Chen Jing and Zhu Qianying in their twenty years of mother-daughter relationship.

…

After making a fuss about dinner and breakfast for two days, Yanhuang finally settled down. Zhu Qianying had been keeping her phone in a visible location, ready to answer his call at any time.

But after she made breakfast for him that day and came back home, he seemed to have disappeared, no longer contacting Zhu Qianying.

Zhu Qianying was naturally glad for the peace, but she was still anxious.

After all, was the standoff between Xing Bailun’s company and Yanhuang Group still ongoing? Or has the crisis been averted?

Just as she was considering whether to call Yanhuang again to extend her goodwill, Xing Bailun, who had been out of touch for many days, finally called her.

“Ying Zi, thank you!” As soon as Xing Bailun opened his mouth, it was to express gratitude.

Zhu Qianying quickly reacted. It seems that the sanctions imposed by Yanhuang Group on Xing’s family had been lifted?

“Aaron, it feels like there’s a serious generation gap between us when we haven’t seen each other for a few days. Why are you thanking me out of nowhere?”

Zhu Qianying got up and lazily lay down on the sofa.

“Ying Zi, I know, you’ve pleaded for me with Yanhuang.”

Xing Bailun’s tone seemed to hold no elation from solving his problem, and even carried a hint of melancholy and helplessness.

“Aaron, what are you talking about? You’re confusing me.” Zhu Qianying decided to deny everything to the end.

After all, this was her responsibility, having been the cause of the problem, and then resolving it.

She was the one who got Xing Bailun in trouble, and now when he thanks her, how could she accept it?

“Ying Zi, quit pretending. Qi Xiao told me everything. I scolded him badly. I’m sorry for causing you trouble!”

The more polite Xing Bailun was, the more uncomfortable Zhu Qianying felt.</p
