Chapter 168
Chen Mengyao regretted it, yes, in all the confrontations with Jiang Ling, the first time she felt that she was wrong. She was just too angry and said that, which was a bit too extreme, but Jiang Ling's approach was also too excessive. The premise of admitting her mistake was to figure out the whole thing out first. She endured the pain and took a deep breath: "Will Mu Tingchen give you money for no reason? He gave you money to Xiaoyan, right? Wouldn't you feel that it was too much if you spent it privately?"
Jiang Ling sneered: "What's this? This little money is a drop in the bucket for Mu Tingchen. Isn't it worth it for you to take care of Tangyuan and Wen Yan? Besides, she lives in our house. You took care of her a lot when you were in school. Putting aside these things, she is a woman's family and has no family members. You have the best relationship with her. We are her family members. She is living under someone's roof with her children. Mu Tingchen has done too much. What's the point of taking some money from him? No one is guilty."
Chen Mengyao almost clenched her teeth: "You are sick, you are sick! No matter how much Mu Tingchen is sorry for Xiaoyan, it is a matter between them. What qualifications do we have to take other people's money?! Don't say it so nicely, what kind of family members? You are just like this to your own daughter, let alone not to mention that you are not your daughter! It doesn't matter if I was kind to her in the past, but it doesn't matter if she is kind to me now. Please give you back the money! Or just give Xiaoyan! The ring is returned!"
Jiang Ling lay on the bed with a "rather die than surrender" attitude: "You either meet all my requirements or don't stretch your hands so long. You have no use to me, a mother, live as frustrated as you. Why? Your father had already opened a factory by himself when he was as old as you. So Lai is also a boss, you are just a waste."
"Yes, I'm a waste, so what were you doing when you were as old as me? I was lucky and found my dad, and I became a rich wife in the first half of my life, and I was incompetent in the second half of my life, so I could only be a parasite!" After Chen Mengyao said that, she slammed the door with a ring. She would withdraw the ring and confess to Wen Yan, otherwise she would be driven crazy.
On the weekend, Chen Mengyao went out early in the morning and brought pancakes and fruits when she came back, and there were tens of thousands of yuan, which was the money returned by the ring.
When Wen Yan woke up, she handed the money to her: "Xiaoyan, I'm sorry, my mother went to find Mu Tingchen and got about 100,000 from Mu Tingchen. I don't know what the specific thing is. My mother bought a ring and I went to refund it today. The ring was 76,000. The remaining money was spent by my mother playing mahjong... I will slowly replenish you. This is your money, you can take it."
Wen Yan was a little confused just now when she woke up, but she didn't react for a while. Looking at the red money, she thought of Mu Tingchen's face, and there was a grey silence in her eyes.
"Xiaoyan, don't be angry, okay? My mother is just like that... I know she hates it, and I'm helpless... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Chen Mengyao was so scared that she was a little incoherent when she saw Wen Yan's appearance for the first time.
Wen Yan shook his head: "I just didn't react, I'm not angry. It's okay, your mother spends it, just spend it. I'll accept the money and make up for it for 100,000 yuan to return it to Mu Tingchen."
Chen Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief and took out the car keys: "This car... was not given to me by Jing Shaoqing, but also by Mu Tingchen instructed Jing Shaoqing. You should return it together."
Wen Yan nodded, got up and washed up and drove Mu Tingchen's car to Mu's house with Chen Mengyao. After entering the door, Liu's mother was busy making tea for them. Chen Mengyao reminded: "Ma Liu, pour a cup of boiled water, Xiaoyan can't drink tea."
Liu's mother didn't understand her words: "Mrs. I used to like drinking black tea like the young master, why can't I drink it?"
Chen Mengyao sighed and felt a little depressed: "Ask your young master."
Only then did Liu Ma think that they were going to see Mu Tingchen: "Young Master came back from the company last night in the early morning and didn't sleep well. He got up late today, so I'll call him."
Seeing Liu Ma go upstairs, Wen Yanxin sank slightly. She never thought that her pregnancy would be so soon. What would he be like to meet Mu Tingchen later?
Without much time for her to think, Liu Ma quickly got down from the upstairs: "Yanyan, the young master asked you to go up, he has just gotten up now."
Wen Yan threw a reassuring look at Chen Mengyao, then got up and walked into their bedroom again, and felt like a different life. The room was filled with the unique aura of Mu Tingchen. I don’t know when it started, but it no longer made her feel heavy.
He was not in bed, and there was a drizzling sound in the bathroom, which was not like taking a bath, but probably washing.
She stood patiently in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and waited. Ten minutes later, he came out of the bathroom, wearing pajamas, his hair was not meticulously taken care of as usual, and his refreshing and casualness was filled with a hint of messy laziness.
He glanced at her expressionlessly, then walked to the bed and picked up the black tea sent by Liu Ma and took a sip: "If you have something to do, say it."
Wen Yan took out the cash and car keys from his bag and placed them on the small table beside him: "I'm here to return things, thank you for your kindness, I don't need it for the time being."
His hand holding the cup froze slightly, and he snorted slightly with some mocking words: "You can't help but want it. I, Mu Tingchen, have never liked to be criticized for doing things. We haven't divorced yet, don't make it as if I've been harsh on you. I can't control wherever you want to live, what kind of life you want, and it has nothing to do with me, but as long as you are Mrs. Mu for a day, I won't allow you to smear me."
Her hands and feet were a little cold, and she lowered her head slightly and said, "I understand... Since it is for others to see, I will cooperate, but I can't use what you gave me. When the right time, I will return it as much as possible."
This way of getting along makes people feel helpless. The atmosphere once dropped to freezing point. Mu Tingchen couldn't feel the temperature of the tea in the cup in his hand, nor did he think of making a big fuss. The kind of powerlessness that he had never even felt at work, but he felt it vividly. He didn't expect that in the end, she was the one who made him helpless.
"It's up to you." In the end, he only said two words, then ignored her and went straight to the study.
Wen Yan went downstairs with the car keys and money, Chen Mengyao was a little surprised: "What's wrong with Xiaoyan? You didn't return it to him..."
She shook her head: "I will keep these things for him for the sake of being a good example for others to see, at least to make others think that his 'husband' is doing well."
Chen Mengyao felt quite strange: "Have you talked about the child? You plan to stay with this child? What does he mean? Have you two reached this point? You don't care about each other, and he doesn't even care about you getting pregnant. The only gift is just for others to see?"
