Chapter 266: Miss Zhou, You Thought That My Mother In Law Was A Fool

Since the family gathering with the elders of the Lu family, Song Yajing’s attitude had changed a bit. These past few days, both mother and daughter had been calling her continuously to ask for an answer, and Song Yajing beat around the bush and refused to give an answer.

Both mother and daughter were like cats on a hot tin roof, and they just wanted to know; was the date they had set at the start still effective?

Song Yajing curled her lips into a smile and said, “Forget about a vacation. Ning Qing is pregnant now and it is uncomfortable for her move around. Shaoming probably does not have time to go.”

These three sentences made her attitude clear.

She has already recognised Ning Qing as the daughter in law of the Lu family.

The Zhou crew’s facial expression changed drastically.

“Madam Lu, you…”

At this moment, Ning Qing walked out holding a tea cup in her hands and said, “Madam Zhou, Miss Zhou, please have some tea. The tea leaves were brought back by Father when he went to Europe. You can have a taste and see if it suits your palate.”

The mother-daughter duo saw her as an enemy and were jealous of her. Ning Qing acted as if she did not see it. She bent down and personally handed the tea to them.

Kong Lan stretched out her hand to receive the tea cup and she acted kindly and smiled saying, “Mrs. Lu has such a large belly now. Don’t kneel. Quick, get up.”

Ning Qing laughed in her mind. This Madam Zhou was acting so kindly, even though she obviously hated her so much in her heart.

“Thank you, Madam Zhou,” Ning Qing answered while observing Kong Lan’s actions. As expected, when she was about to take the teacup in her hands, Kong Lan’s hand purposely tilted to a side in an attempt to blame the incident on Ning Qing.

If the tea split out of the cup, both mother and daughter would definitely blame her for not completing the task well. Likewise, her mother-in-law would definitely despise her in her heart also.

Ning Qing cruelly gave Kong Lan a stare. She wanted to use this trick to go against her?

She had prior experience dealing with Li Meiling and Ning Yao and had learned some things from that experience.

But it also weird to talk about. This Kong Lan was so foolish, how has she survived life in a wealthy family?

She heard that the world renowned red wine big shot Zhou Heng had started from nothing, and the Zhou family naturally had many friends like the Lu family. They also did not fight and scheme against each other. Zhou Heng only had one son, Zhou Lei. Kong Lan was his daughter in law. It seemed from the outside that Zhou Lei’s family was warm and harmonious as a family.

The environment that a person grew up in also affected his education.

When the tea cup was tilted, Ning Qing shrieked. “Ya!” She unexpectedly threw the entire tea cup towards Kong Lan’s body and her eyes were wide open, and she looked to be in huge shock as she retreated in fear.

“Ah!” The teacup was filled entirely with boiling hot water, Kong Lan was burnt by this flying teacup, and she was in pain as she felt her skin burn.

She immediately stood up and jumped up on the spot like a monkey, “Ah, this is so hot, I just got burnt. My skin was just rejuvenated when I went to the spa to relax…”

The maids in the villa saw Kong Lan’s reaction, and they all covered their mouths to laugh sneakily, Zhou Zhilei immediately took out a paper napkin to help wipe off the water droplets off her own mother. She pointed at Ning Qing and chided her saying, “Ning Qing, you are doing this on purpose right? You want to harm my mother!”

Ning Qing immediately ran briefly to hide behind Song Yajing and she stretched out her hand to tug onto Song Yajing’s sleeve and said softly. “Mum, Miss Zhou is so fierce right now; I am so scared.”

Song Yajing always liked Zhou Zhilei’s reserved and virtuous image, but now she noticed how Zhou Zhilei was staring at her with her eyes almost popping out of their sockets looking so fierce and tough. She raised her eyebrows and could not help but shake her head.

Whenever a person realized a flaw in a person, they would come to notice it more and more.

At the last gathering of the elders of the Lu family, Zhou Zhilei had disappointed her too much.

It was only then that Zhou Zhilei realized that she had exposed her ugly side. She immediately cleared her throat and looked innocently at Song Yajing. “Aunt, we clearly saw just now; Ning Qing purposely threw the tea cup towards my mother’s direction.”

Ning Qing immediately opened her mouth to speak. She did not even spare a glance at Zhou Zhilei, but she said softly to Song Yajing, “Mum, you have to decide for me. If Madam Zhou hadn’t spilled the tea on purpose, would I have reacted so violently because of her actions because I was afraid? I am not just one person now; if anything goes wrong with the baby in my stomach, who is going to take responsibility? Shaoming is coming back in 2 days.”

Song Yajing frowned even more deeply. She was used women in wealthy families fighting for favour, when this Kong Lan tilted the tea cup purposely, how could she not have seen that?

She turned back to stare at Ning Qing. She knew how to act innocent after throwing a boiling cup of tea towards another’s face; this girl was too naughty.

“Hehe.” Ning Qing embarrassingly stuck out her tongue towards Song Yajing and said sweetly and like she was acting coy towards her, “Mum..”

Song Yajing felt uncomfortable upon hearing her sweet voice calling her and she said, “Okay, don’t make a fuss. Someone come, prepare a set of clean clothes and medication for Madam Zhou.”

Zhou Zhilei was furious. This Song Yajing was obviously being biased to Ning Qing, and she wanted to patch up a quarrel.

Ning Qing lifted her eyebrows and was delighted as she gave a glance towards Zhou Zhilei. Her meaning was — See how I am able to make you furious!

Zhou Zhilei: “…”

Kong Lan was the most uncomfortable person. If an expression from the eyes could kill a person, her expression at the moment could already puncture multiple holes on Ning Qing’s body. While she was staring at her, through her peripheral vision, she could see a youthful and lanky figure appear. Song Yingjie was leaning on the railing of the staircase looking at her.

Kong Lan could not tell what the expression in his eyes meant. The youth’s expression was deep and dark, and it contained many emotions.

Kong Lan was taken aback. Song Yingjie was not her daughter’s helper. She had only met him once or twice, and he looked innocent and unable to betray her.

Looking at things now, he seemed to have changed completely.

When Kong Lan spared another glance towards him, the eyes of the youth had become clear, and the darkness that was just there had already disappeared completely.

Kong Lan blinked her eyes and suspected that she was going blind.

…

Song Yajing brought Kong Lan and Zhou Zhilei to change their clothes. Ning Qing walked into the dining hall, and at this moment, Song Yingjie walked over and stood in her path.

He had walked over suddenly and Ning Qing almost banged into him, as she could barely stop in time. She lifted her gaze and asked, “What is it? Why are you blocking my way?”

Song Yingjie took out an item from his pocket and passed it to her. “It’s for you.”

Ning Qing had a closer look; it was a small bottle of medication.

Ning Qing broke out in a snort and said, “Little rascal; did you get things mixed up? I did not get hurt, you should send this medication upstairs…. Oi!”

Song Yingjie held onto her slim wrist on her left hand.

It was only then that Ning Qing noticed that her left hand was burnt and had a blister on it. It was probably because she did not have time to duck, and a little water must have spilled on her.

The blister was very small. She did not feel a thing, so she did not notice it.

“Doesn’t it hurt here?” Song Yingjie used his index finger to press on it.

The youth’s hand was starkly different from Lu Shaoming’s hand. He had always lived a life of luxury. His fingers were long and fair, and he had a fair chance of competing with a girl’s hand.

“Oi, why are you being like this? It actually did not hurt, and now you are making it hurt by pressing on it.” Ning Qing’s delicate, white face was squeezed into a ball, and her lips were half pouting as she wanted to retract her small hand.

Song Yingjie looked at the way she looked. He relaxed the strength in his hands, took out a needle, and said softly, “I will help you poke the blister, then apply some medication; it will heal well this way.”

“Oh, then I would need to trouble you then.”

Song Yingjie poked the blister carefully for her, and while he did so he blew on it, and asked gently, “Does it hurt?”

“It doesn’t.”

When the old butler came through the door and chanced upon this sight, he noticed that the boy was tall and was taller than the girl by the height of a head. The two of them were against the afternoon sun, and below them was a layer of light.

The old butler’s expression changed, and he went forward and said politely, “Young Master Yingjie, I will help with Madam’s injury. You don’t have the experience.”

Song Yingjie lifted his eyes. His long, curly lashes fluttered once, then he slowly let go of Ning Qing’s small hand.

Ning Qing did not notice anything. She thanked Song Yingjie and said, “Little rascal, you have done well today. You need to continue being like this, okay? Also when you see me in the future, you are not allowed to be rude towards me. You need to address me as sister-in-law.”

Song Yingjie had one hand inside his pockets and the tips of his lips curled up into a mocking smile as he said, “You are merely days older than me.” He turned to leave.

Ning Qing shouted towards his shadow and said, “Why do you care about how much older I am? I am your older brother’s wife, so you have to address me as sister in law; this is basic courtesy.”

But the boy was already out of sight.

…

After eating a meal peacefully, Ning Qing was organizing her own documents. At this moment, Zhou Zhilei walked over and said, “Ning Qing, are you delighted now?”

Ning Qing lifted her hand to tuck the hair by her cheek behind her ear and smiled plainly before she said, “If I say that I am not delighted, wouldn’t that make me a liar? Miss Zhou has always bullied me in front of my mother-in-law. You want to benefit as a third party. I have always said that my mother-in-law and I are family. I had said that there would be a day when you would return to being an outsider, and now this day has arrived.”

Zhou Zhilei laughed mysteriously and said, “Are you so sure that you have won? As long the friendship between the Lu and Zhou families continues, I will still have the chance to come between you and your mother-in-law, and I can make your relationship with her bad. All it takes is for me to move my lips.”

“Ok.” Ning Qing held onto a document and came to Zhou Zhilei’s side, then she lowered her voice and said, “Miss Zhou, don’t overestimate yourself. Do you think of my mother-in-law as a fool?”

Zhou Zhilei laughed and said, “Whether she is a fool or not, we will see after we try. Your mother-in-law watched me grow up. The friendship between the Lu and Zhou families cannot be ruined so easily.”

Ning Qing still wanted to speak but she suddenly heard someone speak. “Ning Qing, Zhilei, what are you guys chatting about here?” Song Yajing had come over.

Zhou Zhilei immediately had tears in her eyes. She donned an expression as if she had been wronged, then said, “Aunt, I know that Mrs. Lu doesn’t like me, and she doesn’t want to see me. Since that is the case, I will bid farewell along with my mother. In order for Mrs. Lu not to misunderstand us in the future, the Lu and Zhou families should keep their distance.”

After she spoke, Zhou Zhilei ran out of the room.

“Zhilei!” Song Yajing immediately grabbed onto Zhou Zhilei’s sleeve, and she turned her head back to glare at Ning Qing and said fiercely, “Ning Qing, what did you say to Zhilei?”

Ning Qing: “I…”

“Forget it. Aunt, you leave some dignity for me. I like Brother Shaoming, and have waited for him for 26 years, I know that I am stooping too low! Mrs Lu has expressed it correctly.”

Ning Qing: “…” She was the one who had used the word “Stooping too low,” although Ning Qing did think of her like this in her heart.

“Ning Qing!” Song Yajing gave a long stare at Ning Qing and then turned around to comfort Zhou Zhilei. “Zhilei, don’t listen to Ning Qing spout nonsense; Aunt understands you. Let’s go, we’ll go take a seat on the sofa.”

Song Yajing brought Zhou Zhilei into the living room.

Zhou Zhilei felt much better in her heart. She guaranteed that as long as she was still alive, she would not stop making Ning Qing’s life difficult, and she would never let her live in peace.
