Chapter 148: Chapter 145: Indifferently Ignoring (1)
Zhao Xingwei waved his hand while speaking, "Forget it, I’ve seen through this woman, let’s not mention it."
She ran away from you, but she ran to your son!
Fang Jingyi closed her eyes, feeling as if her heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were all in pain!
Zhao Xingwei glanced at her and slightly bowed his head.
After sending Zhao Xingwei away, Fang Jingyi drank two cups of coffee in one go, but her mood still didn’t calm down. Her face, unable to suppress the anger, looked somewhat twisted and ferocious.
Fang Jingting looked at Fang Jingyi sympathetically and sighed, "You’d think a smart man like Mo Chen wouldn’t be led by the nose by such a woman..."
"Are you mocking me now?" Fang Jingyi took a harsh breath and glared at Fang Jingting with bloodshot eyes.
Fang Jingting had never seen Fang Jingyi so furious; her eyes were reddened with anger. She slightly swallowed and said, "I’m just too shocked."
"..." Fang Jingyi closed her eyes, breathing heavily like an asthmatic on the verge of an attack.
Fang Jingting looked awkward. She couldn’t completely empathize with Fang Jingyi’s current mood but could feel a significant part of it.
Which mother wouldn’t be troubled by such a situation involving her son!
After a long silence, Fang Jingting asked the waiter to bring Fang Jingyi a cup of juice, hesitating to ask, "Sister, what do you plan to do?"
At this moment, Fang Jingyi no longer cared about her image. She boldly drank half the cup of juice, slammed it on the table, and stood up abruptly, pushing past Fang Jingting as she headed out of the café.
"Sister, sister, Fang Jingyi..." Fang Jingting called out twice, but Fang Jingyi ignored her.
"She’s out." In the corner of the café, Fu Mulan calmly observed a woman sitting in the passenger seat, rubbing her temples with a weary expression.
The woman’s pale hand paused, then slowly put it down, watching Fang Jingyi somberly get into the car, expressionless. In a soft voice, she said, "Zhao Xingwei is ambitious; the benefits we’ve given him aren’t enough. Keep an eye on him, we must not let him ruin my plans."
"Okay." Fu Mulan’s expression was grave.
The woman turned her head slightly to glance at her, frowning lightly, "What? Regretting it?"
Fu Mulan said nothing.
The woman turned her face away, her expression and tone unchanged, "The plan is already underway, it’s too late for regrets."
Fu Mulan squinted, "I don’t regret it."
The woman said nothing, put on her sunglasses, opened the car door, and got out.
Fu Mulan stared at the woman’s slender back, a dark light quickly flickering in her cold eyes, she frowned, and drove away.
Just the day before, Jin Jiancheng and Rong Zhengfeng had finalized the wedding date for Jin Jumo and Rong Mochen, and the next day, the news reached major media outlets. Even Rong Zhengfeng, who had retired, personally accepted an interview and admitted it, expressing his immense satisfaction with his granddaughter-in-law in his words.
Because of Rong Zhengfeng’s attitude, the media’s curiosity about Jin Jumo reached a peak.
Every day, not only was Jinming Port City secretly surrounded by paparazzi, but even Rong Mochen was besieged by reporters, who frequently gathered the courage to ask when he would officially introduce his mysterious fiancée.
Even Rong Mochen, who was usually cold and indifferent, did not ignore them with his customary aloofness. Instead, he smiled slyly, which was such an unusual reaction that many reporters declared they couldn’t handle it.
Even public opinion turned into:
Even the big boss is showing off happiness, making singletons feel envious as they drift by.
It’s unbearable, unbearable, lalalala, the big boss’s smile is so charming, envy to the boss’s Mrs., woof...
The big boss actually laughed, laughed, laughed...
Am I the only one curious about the legendary boss’s wife?
Forget it, let me just tell you, actually, I’m the legendary boss’s wife...
Above, a big ’shameless’!
Jin Ju stayed in Jinming Port City every day, browsing various forums and websites to read comments. After ensuring no one was scolding her, she felt relieved.
"Ma’am." Yu Huihua knocked and entered, her face full of joy, watching Jin Ju sitting at the large window sill looking at the computer, she said, "The types and styles of wedding candies and invitations have arrived. Would you like to come down and select them yourself?"
Jin Ju was a little taken aback.
Ever since deciding to marry on December 12th, preparations for various wedding details had begun.
Lacking experience and having never paid attention to wedding procedures, Jin Ju felt bewildered and at a loss, not knowing what she should do.
Listening to Yu Huihua, she felt slightly dazed.
Realizing it, she nodded, placed the computer on the window sill, and got down.
Being at home, Jin Ju dressed lightly and loosely, but her high, protruding belly was very noticeable, like a large ball supporting her clothes.
With her fair hand supporting her lower back, Jin Ju walked towards the door.
As she approached, Yu Huihua quickly helped her and softly said, "Is it hard?"
Jin Ju smiled slightly and shook her head, "Not hard, just that my belly feels heavy, like I’m being pulled down."
Yu Huihua also smiled, "You’re carrying two, how can it not be heavy?"
The two went downstairs with intermittent conversation.
Aunt Yu helped Jin Jumo sit on the sofa, placed all the wedding candies and invitation samples on the sofa next to her, and said, "They’re all here. Ma’am, take your time to look and choose. I’ll wash some fruit for you."
Jin Jumo looked at the wedding candies and invitation samples placed next to her and smiled with arched eyebrows, "Aunt Yu is getting more and more considerate."
Aunt Yu gave her an affectionate glare and turned to walk to the kitchen.
Jin Jumo leaned back, sitting upright for comfort, and casually unwrapped a piece of candy to pop into her mouth. It was blueberry-flavored toffee, more expensive than regular kinds, but tasted quite good.
Picking up the few invitation samples that were brought, Jin Jumo browsed through each one, finally pausing at an invitation with a dodder flower cover. Her eyes sparkled as she pulled out that invitation and set it aside.
Aunt Yu returned with the washed fruit, sat next to Jin Jumo, peeled grapes for her, and watched along, "Ma’am, have you found one you like?"
Jin Jumo furrowed her brows, her small face looking very focused, "Aunt Yu, what do you think of this one?"
Jin Jumo showed Aunt Yu an invitation with a simple diamond engagement ring design on the cover, seeking her opinion.
Aunt Yu glanced at it and chuckled heartily, "If you ask me, this one is the best."
Aunt Yu pointed to the invitation in Jin Jumo’s hand, which was bright red with "Invitation" embossed in gold in the center, also gold-edged.
The reason Aunt Yu chose that one was mainly because it looked festive.
Jin Jumo stared at that invitation repeatedly and still couldn’t decide after looking at others.
"Ma’am, if the gentleman knew you cared so much about your wedding with him, he’d definitely be delighted." Aunt Yu popped a grape into Jin Jumo’s mouth and suddenly said, smiling.
"..." Jin Jumo was stunned and slowly looked at Aunt Yu, "Do I care that much?"
"As I said, you and the gentleman are well-matched, so of course, you care about the perfect wedding belonging to both of you, which is why you’re so attentive and serious about choosing even small matters like the invitations." Aunt Yu said.
Jin Jumo suddenly stopped talking.
"Ma’am, if you can’t decide alone, you could consult with your best friend." Aunt Yu suggested.
Jin Jumo blinked, stared at the invitations for a while on her phone, and then nodded gently, "Okay."
Master bedroom, balcony.
Jin Jumo, with her laptop, nestled in a beanbag chair video chatting with Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong was at a film base with Huo Shaojun for a shoot. Since Guan Yu was busy attending to Huo Shaojun on set, Jian Liangtong was lazing around in the car.
For some reason, maybe a problem with the image, Jin Jumo thought Jian Liangtong looked a bit haggard and showed concern, "Haven’t been resting well lately?"
Jian Liangtong sighed, her eyes drooping feebly, "I don’t know what it is lately; my appetite’s become very picky, and I throw up if I eat anything unsuitable. And I’m always drowsy."
Jin Jumo paused, a thought flashed in her mind, and after hesitating a moment, she asked, "Could it be acclimatization issues?"
"No clue." Jian Liangtong shook her head, struggling to keep her eyes open, laughed, "Hey, Ju Zi, don’t you think my big boss has been getting cooler lately?"
Jin Jumo stared at her for a moment, didn’t answer her boring question, and held up the invitations for her to see, "Which one do you think is better?"
Seeing the invitations, Jian Liangtong let out a loud "Wow" and brought her sparkling dark eyes close to the screen, scaring Jin Jumo into twitching her lips.
Jian Liangtong poked at the computer screen with her delicate finger, "This one, this one, this one’s all nice, but this one’s better, more grand and imposing."
"...Which one?" Jin Jumo asked in confusion, pulling back to look herself.
"The red one." Jian Liangtong said.
Jin Jumo pursed her lips, realizing that the one Jian Liangtong liked was the same as the one Aunt Yu had liked.
Staring carefully again at that invitation, Jin Jumo finally nodded, "Alright then, let’s go with this one."
"Ha..."
As soon as Jin Jumo finished speaking, she heard Jian Liangtong let out a sleepy yawn.
Jin Jumo’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she watched Jian Liangtong’s tired face. Hesitating for a moment, she quietly said, "Liang Tong, can I ask you something?"
"Mm, go ahead," Jian Liangtong said, yawning as she spoke.
"...Has your aunt come this month?" Jin Jumo asked.
"She hasn’t." Jian Liangtong answered truthfully, not realizing the implication.
"What about last month?" Jin Jumo pushed on.
"Last month?" Jian Liangtong bit her lower lip, thought for a bit, then shook her head, "I don’t think she came then either..."
"..."
"..."
Now, both Jin Jumo and Jian Liangtong were stunned, staring wide-eyed at each other across the computer screen.
After a while of silence, Jin Jumo exhaled slightly and said, "Before, I told you to be cautious and take precautions, did you?"
"Uh-huh." Jian Liangtong nervously bit her finger and nodded weakly.
