Life With You

Fang Hui did have doubts before coming, and was not sure how Ren Lina would answer, but she never thought that Ren Lina would refuse so thoroughly, which left no chance.

She lost face for a moment. Fang Hui adjusted her expression without leaving a trace, from the low-down attitude of asking for help to returning to the same arrogance as before. She said in a neutral tone: So, the Qiao family just thinks that Song Xibei is younger. I am more suitable to be a daughter-in-law.

Ren Lina's expression remained unchanged and she replied with a faint smile: It's because Zhi Sheng is not lucky enough to be the son-in-law of the Sheng family.

Fang Hui couldn't hear Ren Lina's teasing between the lines, her lips curled up slightly, and she continued: Luck is sometimes a choice. Marriage is a major matter, related to one's wealth and future, and the right person can be the icing on the cake. , or it can be a help in times of need. If you choose the wrong person...

The smile was meaningful, and Fang Hui did not continue.

Ren Lina smiled and said in the same relaxed tone as when chatting: Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. We are ordinary people, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing. When we get married, it depends on our children to be happy, and we don't think about going to the next level.

Seeing that Ren Lina was firmly in favor of George Sheng and Song Xi being together, Fang Hui no longer wasted any time trying to persuade her, but said softly: Ordinary people? What you said is too low-key. Many dignitaries in Night City want to be with Qiao Sheng. When walking around the house, you have to tell Zhi Sheng to keep his eyes peeled. Don't fall in line easily, let alone stand in the wrong line. After all, the Qiao family is a giant businessman, and many pairs of eyes are watching. If you take a wrong step, it is very likely that It’s beyond redemption.”

From inducement to coercion, in the blink of an eye, they turned against each other so quickly. Maybe this is the so-called official relationship. Ren Lina sneered in her heart. Being an in-law with such a person would have one face when needed and another face when not needed. Even Qiao Dingxiang would not bear to look at her face in this life, so she went to see the Sheng family. Face?

Ren Lina didn't smile too heartily. She imitated Fang Hui's tone and responded in kind, We do whatever we want. We are always down-to-earth. Businessmen will do their duty as businessmen. For other things, we will do our best. I don’t want to participate at all.”

At this point, both of them had understood each other's attitude. It was useless to talk more and there was no need to be polite. Fang Hui found an opportunity to say that she had to leave first because she had something to do. Ren Lina felt that Fang Hui was slandering her face, so she replied calmly. He said: Then I won't keep you. It's quite difficult to reserve a seat here. I'll ask my daughter-in-law to come over for tea.

Seeing the mute Fang Hui eating coptis, Ren Lina felt relieved. It didn't matter if the other party was from Fang's family, she was still George Sheng's mother.

When she was the only one left in the room, Ren Lina took out her mobile phone and called Tong Hao. When George Sheng went on a business trip, Yuan Bao always followed him around. However, Yuan Bao was injured. Although he could live a normal life now, George Sheng still tried his best not to let him go on a long trip by plane. Tong Hao was always with him.

The call was quickly connected, and Tong Hao's respectful voice came from the phone: Godmother.

Ren Lina said: Tong Hao, are Zhi Sheng busy?

Tong Hao replied: Brother Sheng is free, I will give him my phone.

Not long after, George Sheng was replaced on the phone, Mom.

Zhi Sheng, when did you get shot? Was it when you said you were on a business trip a while ago?

George Sheng remained calm and asked instead: Who told you?

Ren Lina frowned lightly, Is it true? What happened? You didn't tell me about such a big thing. Everyone knew about it, so you just hid it from me...

All mothers in the world are the same. No matter how majestic their sons may be outside, they still have to be scolded like sons by their mothers.

George Sheng listened quietly. After Ren Lina finished complaining, he still said the same thing: Where did you listen?

Ren Lina said: I just met Fang Hui. She wanted me to agree with you and Sheng Qianyu being together. I didn't agree. It was the Sheng family who forced you to break up. You can leave when you want and come back when you want. What do you think you are? ? What do we think our Qiao family is?

Why did you refuse? George Sheng asked.

Ren Lina replied: I said that I am very satisfied with my current daughter-in-law. Song Xi is very good. You two are true love. I wish Sheng Qianyu will find her husband as soon as possible. Then our whole family will go to have a wedding banquet.

George Sheng smiled, and the corners of his lips couldn't help rising. Tong Hao, who was watching on the side, was very puzzled. When had George Sheng shown such an expression on the phone with Ren Lina in so many years? He was seriously curious about what Ren Lina said.

Although Ren Lina didn't see George Sheng smile, she could feel that he was very happy. She almost blurted out and revealed the birthday gift Song Xi was going to give him in advance, but then she thought about it, this was too unauthentic, and it did not affect her performance in the future. As an elder in Song Xi's mind, she couldn't do this kind of thing like selling her daughter-in-law to get her son's attention.

Taking the next best option, Ren Lina said, When are you going back to Night City? Come with Song Xi. The oysters are very fresh recently. I asked her and she likes them too. I'll ask the following to prepare more.

George Sheng agreed readily, and Ren Lina seemed to have suddenly found a long topic to talk to George Sheng about, Song Xi. She said that Song Xi was learning to cook from her, and the two of them avoided eating minced meat all afternoon. George Sheng said: She ran for a massage right after she came out of your place. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get on the operating table because the scalpel would tremble.

Ren Lina said: This child...stop when he is tired. I am not an evil mother-in-law.

mom.

Um?

We'll go back tomorrow night.

Okay, I'll go to the seafood market in a minute. In addition to oysters, you should eat more other seafood. It's good for your health.

In fact, George Sheng wanted to say thank you, but he really couldn't say it, so he had to temporarily change it to go home for dinner. Anyway, as long as he went back, Ren Lina would be very happy.

During the phone call, Ren Lina also reminded George Sheng, Your father has said before that neither the Sheng family nor the Fang family are generous people. Now I have completely offended you. In the future, you must be careful in any business that has anything to do with officialdom. Don't do it. Drop the handle.”

George Sheng responded: I know.

Ren Lina said: Then you go about your business, I won't disturb you anymore.

She was about to hang up the phone, but she had already chatted for five minutes and fourteen seconds. She broke the record for who knows how many years, and she was very happy.

Mom. George Sheng called out, and then said: No matter how busy I am, I will still have time to answer your call. Just call me directly from now on.

Ren Lina suddenly felt very heartbroken. Outsiders said that she had a good life. She was married to Qiao Dingxiang and had no worries about food and clothing all her life. She was supported by her husband when she was young and by her son when she was middle-aged. She was used to seeing them as the mainstay and was used to talking on the phone. The call was made directly to the mobile phone of George Sheng's personal person, so as not to disturb him.

In the past, the two of them talked by the second. They talked about things and settled them quickly. Now he said, Just call me directly. It made her throat tighten inexplicably. She hurriedly said hello and hung up in a hurry, fearing that He couldn't control his emotions for a moment, which distracted him.
