Chapter 120: I have something to tell you.
"Sui Sui, what's wrong?"
Hearing her father's words, Jiang Qianhui finally came to her senses.
"Mom's birthday dinner definitely needs to be done well, so I'll leave that to..."
Jiang Qianhui wanted to say, "Leave it to me," but before she could finish, Zhan Yanxun interrupted her.
"give it to me."
At this moment, Jiang Qianhui, Jiang Zhengguo, and Yang Huirong were all taken aback. They seemed not to have expected that Zhan Yanxun would actually offer to host the birthday banquet.
Yang Huirong was flattered and said, "Yanxun, you're so busy, how can I let you organize my birthday banquet?"
Zhan Yanxun's eyes turned icy: "As a son-in-law, it's what I should do."
Yang Huirong and Jiang Zhengguo were both very happy to hear this. After all, they knew that Zhan Yanxun had always been lukewarm towards his daughter, but this time he not only came to dinner with her but also offered to host her birthday banquet. This showed that he cared about his daughter.
Yang Huirong was very excited, her voice trembling slightly. "Yan Xun, are you really willing?"
Zhan Yanxun, who dislikes trouble the most, said gently and humbly, "It's my pleasure."
Jiang Qianhui frowned, looking at Zhan Yanxun with full of vigilance.
What's going on? Why is she suddenly so concerned about her mother?
Whatever his reasons, we don't need his pretentious posturing.
Jiang Qianhui raised an eyebrow and said, "President Zhan, the company has many projects lately. You're already stretched thin, so please don't trouble yourself with my mother's matter."
"The company's projects need to be done, and so do the birthday parties."
Jiang Qianhui scoffed coldly. He really loves playing the role of a dutiful son-in-law. He's really asking for trouble!
"President Zhan, you have many people to take care of. My mother and I are fine with you. But you'll have to take care of other people like grandparents. My mother doesn't need you here."
Zhan Yanxun knew, of course, that Jiang Qianhui was implying something about him, but Yang Huirong and Jiang Zhengguo did not.
"Sui Sui, how can you talk like that? Yan Xun is going to help your mother prepare a birthday dinner. Where can you find such a good son-in-law? Besides, your mother will be happiest with Zhan Yan Xun organizing the birthday dinner."
Jiang Zhengguo knew Yang Huirong well, and Yang Huirong nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's right, my son-in-law helped me host my birthday banquet, I'm so proud."
Yang Huirong was very happy, mainly because Zhan Yanxun was willing to help her organize a birthday banquet, which proved that he cared about his daughter and that there was no problem with their relationship. This put her at ease.
"Mom, you have daughters too. I'll help you plan your birthday dinner; why should outsiders interfere?"
Jiang Qianhui's words were laced with disdain, while Yang Huirong frowned and said, "What outsider? He's my son-in-law. How can you talk like that?"
Yang Huirong scolded Jiang Qianhui, then immediately put on a kind and amiable face and said, "Yanxun, isn't this too much trouble for you?"
"what I should do."
Yang Huirong was overjoyed. She had no son and had suffered much ridicule in high society. Now, her son-in-law was hosting her birthday banquet, and she felt incredibly proud and elated!
Jiang Qianhui knew what her mother was thinking. Although she was angry, she felt more heartache.
She knew her mother was always bothered by not being able to give birth to a son, and had suffered a lot of ridicule and grievances because of it, but that didn't affect her love for her. Her mother gave her the best love.
She also knew why Zhan Yanxun was preparing a birthday dinner for her mother and why her mother was so happy.
How could she possibly allow the man who pushed her entire family into the abyss in her previous life to throw a birthday dinner for her mother?
But seeing her mother's excited and happy expression now, what could she say?
I could only suppress all my emotions.
Mom, I'm so happy.
……
On the way back, in a black Maybach.
Jiang Qianhui looked at Zhan Yanxun with disdain and said, "Why did you throw a birthday party for my mother?"
She didn't even address him this time, which showed she was very angry, but he didn't know why she was angry.
"Because I am your husband, and because your mother is my mother-in-law."
Such an ordinary sentence almost made Jiang Qianhui explode. Just yesterday they were at loggerheads, how could he have such a good attitude now?
In their past lives, they were entangled in a life-or-death struggle, yet now they hear him utter such a sentence.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Jiang Qianhui scoffed, "Are you still doing this for that damned sense of face? Because I'm your nominal wife. President Zhan, you really care about your image."
"What's wrong with being decent?"
"It's good to be respectable, but have you ever thought about living according to your own heart? What is the right answer in this world? Have you never thought about following your own heart?"
"What do you mean?"
"Marrying someone of equal social standing is respectable, but shouldn't people also experience happiness in life besides respectability?"
Jiang Qianhui found herself quite ridiculous. Was she trying to persuade him to be with Qiao Weiwei? Maybe not, she was just trying to get away from him.
Because I feel that the more I get entangled, the more I'll end up hurting myself.
"Are you unhappy being the wife of the president of the Zhan Group?"
Zhan Yanxun stared at Jiang Qianhui with a gloomy look in his eyes. He was the one who was originally in control, but at this moment he seemed to have fallen into a disadvantageous position.
"Where did you settle Qiao Weiwei and her grandmother?"
Jiang Qianhui suddenly changed her tone, leaving Zhan Yanxun somewhat embarrassed. In an instant, she seemed to have regained the initiative.
Zhan Yanxun's eyes darkened as he said, "I bought them a house yesterday. If you don't like it, you can take it back."
He really loves buying her houses.
"President Zhan, you really love buying houses for Qiao Weiwei. You keep buying one after another. You can't just buy them and I'll collect them later, can I?"
“I don’t think it’s necessary, after all, it’s a place for an elderly person who is sick to stay.”
"President Zhan, you said in the first sentence that I could take it away, but in the second sentence you mentioned a place for a sick old man to stay. Is this an attempt to morally blackmail me?"
Zhan Yanxun was silent for a moment before saying, "There's something I want to tell you."
Zhan Yanxun suddenly became very serious, even with a hint of panic in his eyes, but Jiang Qianhui didn't seem surprised.
Because she felt that Zhan Yanxun was acting very strangely. Whether it was going back to her house for dinner with her or taking the initiative to help her mother prepare a birthday dinner, these were not things he would do.
Jiang Qianhui responded coldly, "What is it?"
"Last night, I drank too much, and with Qiao Weiwei..."
Zhan Yanxun didn't continue. He looked very troubled, as if he couldn't bring himself to say what he was about to say.
Although he didn't finish speaking, it was still possible to guess what he wanted to say.
He and Qiao Weiwei... did things they shouldn't have done.
They did that kind of thing. Ha.
