After Zheng Wen heard this, she also felt that it made sense. During this period of time, she had also seen the fickleness of human nature. The people who had previously tried to please her turned around to please others when they saw the Si family in turmoil. Some even went to befriend Qin Zhen.
She felt disgusted at the thought of this. It was obvious that it was better to marry a wife who was loyal to her son.
Thinking about it this way, Jiang An was indeed the best candidate. Just her background alone was incomparable to those people from before, not to mention that she had two children.
However, when she thought of how rude her family was to her, Zheng Wen still felt that she could not get over this hurdle in her heart.
Si Cheng knew what to say to make his mother listen. “Mother, Qin Zhen is currently looking for Si Qin’s wife. If she finds a daughter from a wealthy family, there’s nothing you can do. But if Jiang An and I remarry, no one can compare to her except the daughters of the four great families in Jingdu City. When the time comes, Qin Zhen will definitely be inferior to you.”
Now, Zheng Wen’s greatest enemy was not her daughter-in-law, but Qin Zhen and her children. Hearing Si Cheng say that changed her mind.
“As long as you’ve thought it through, I’ll definitely help you.” Zheng Wen nodded.
Si Cheng smiled and said, “We mother and son are united to get those two illegitimate children out of the corporation.”
The mother and son began to discuss how to change Jiang An’s mind. They didn’t even think about whether Jiang An had a new relationship now. In their opinion, as long as she hadn’t remarried, it wasn’t a big deal.
Jiang An accompanied Mo Shen for two days before setting off back to the Jiang family. Mo Shen also needed to return to the Mo family to recuperate. Zhao Lan quickly left with her men.
Zou Bai was reluctant to part with her. Zou Yi and Zou Er couldn’t stand seeing their master like this. This was the first time they had seen their master so reluctant to part with someone.
“Alright, even if 1 go back, you can come and see me.” Jiang An comforted him. “My mother won’t chase you out.”
Zou Bai knew that no matter how reluctant he was, he could only let Jiang An go. After all, in the eyes of the elders, the two of them had nothing to do with each other.
Jiang Huai and Jiang Zhen waited in the car for a while before Jiang An finally got into the car. Zou Bai stood at the entrance of the hotel and watched the car leave.
“Master, Old Madam is urging you to go back,” Zou Yi walked over and said.
Zou Bai nodded and said, “Let’s go back now. Keep your mouths shut and don’t let her know.”
Zou Yi and Zou Er naturally understood that Zou Bai had come out in the name of handling matters. They could not let the old madam know that their master was with Miss Jiang.
When Jiang An returned home, Li Mei welcomed her at the door. She hugged her daughter and said, “You make me miss you so much. You’ve lost weight after being outside for so long.”
“I look better after losing weight,” Jiang An said with a smile.
Li Mei disagreed. “That’s nonsense. If you’re too thin it doesn’t look good at all. Hurry up and eat more to make up for it.”
Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi ran over and threw themselves into Li Mei’s arms. She smiled and called the children to eat. Jiang Zhen said, “Since An’an is already home, I’ll leave first.”
Li Mei said, “Why is this child still so polite? Even if you have something to do, you should eat first. Just treat it as accompanying An’an.”
These words were a hint to Jiang Zhen, but he already knew Jiang An’s intentions and still left firmly.
Li Mei felt that something was wrong. She pulled Jiang Huai and asked, “What happened during this period of time? Why did Jiang Zhen distance himself from An’an? Could it be that he doesn’t like An’an?”
Jiang Huai could not explain this matter, so he could only say vaguely, “You can’t force a relationship. Maybe they just can’t get along.”
Li Mei felt that what he said made sense. Love could not be forced. If the two children really did not have that intention, it would be useless even if she was worried.
However, An’an didn’t have to get married now. It was good for her to stay at home.
Seeing that Li Mei was no longer asking about this, Jiang Huai secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally managed to fool her.
Meanwhile, Zou Bai had also returned to the Zou residence. When Wen Li saw her son enter, she asked, “Have you settled everything?”
“It’s all over,” Zou Bai said.
Wen Li had long stopped asking about the family’s matters. She lowered her head and said, “Recently, I went to a wedding banquet. That scene is really enviable.”
She was warning her son that it was time for him to get married. For so many years, this was the only thing she had been thinking about day and night. She was afraid that Zou Bai would not get married even after she died.
It wasn’t that she was a controlling parent who insisted on forcing Zou Bai to get married. It was just that with the shadow of Chen Xiang around, she couldn’t feel at ease day and night.
She was afraid that one day, her son would come back holding Chen Xiang’s hand and say that he would not marry anyone but her..
