Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 346 The Grand Meeting of the Century (1)

Perhaps out of respect for Lu Zhitu, Chi's mother and Tong Shili stayed. Chi Ran and Yan Zuozuo sat in front of the grill, handing the cooked food to Lu Zhitu so he could take it to Chi's mother.

Chi's mother had initially refused to eat out of spite, but after a few words from Tong Shili, she suddenly started eating with a beaming smile. Chi Ran, seeing this, was furious and gritted her teeth, saying, "She's like a persistent ghost; my mother's getting senile!"

Yan Zuozuo handed her a bottle of Wanglaoji herbal tea: "Okay, calm down. Actually, it's all my fault. If I hadn't suggested it, you and Mom wouldn't have argued today."

"What do you mean it's your fault? You're just bullied because you're too obedient to Mom." Chi Ran said angrily. "I think Mom and Tong Shili are in cahoots now. Who knows what dirty tricks Tong Shili might use one day, and my mom will force you and my brother to divorce."

Yan Zuozuo's expression changed, and she almost dropped the chicken wing she was holding.

Seeing her like this, Chi Ran realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to make amends, "But don't worry, as long as my brother is devoted to you, you don't need to worry about my mother. Leave everything to my brother. What kind of man is he if he can't even handle this kind of thing?"

Yan Zuozuo silently ate her chicken wings, and after a while, she said, "These are all things that haven't happened yet, and I don't think Mom would do that. I'm just worried about Tong Shili; you know her background..."

Chi Ran was also worried. If she hadn't been concerned about her mother, she wouldn't have been so angry as to argue with her. Now, everyone was silent, and no one could persuade Chi's mother to stay away from Tong Shili.

Headache!

After returning home, Tong Shili left early, leaving only Chi's mother, Chi Ran, and Yan Zuozuo in the living room. Chi's mother had a gloomy face and roared at Yan Zuozuo, "You really are something, getting Chi Ran to protect you like this!"

Yan Zuozuo was exhausted after being outside all day. But looking at Chi's mother's energetic voice, she was certain that Chi's mother was in better physical condition than her.

"Mom, what do you mean by that? I'm only on the side of my own people, not my own!" Chi Ran said unhappily.

"Shut up! This is none of your business, go back."

Chi Ran wanted to say something, but Yan Zuozuo stopped her, saying, "Mom, you've had a long day. Let me get you a glass of water."

"No need for crocodile tears! Chi Ran, go get me some water." Chi's mother sat on the sofa and threw her coat down forcefully. "Yan Zuozuo, tell me the truth, do you feel that Shili stole something from you, and you're doing everything you can to prevent me from being with her?"

Yan Zuozuo frowned: "Mom, that's not what I meant. I really don't want you to get close to Tong Shili, not because he stole something from me, but because I'm worried about you..."

"So the fox's tail has finally been revealed!" Chi's mother took the water glass from Chi Ran's hand and slammed it heavily on the table. "You just can't stand me being nice to Shi Li, or are you feeling guilty and afraid that Shi Li will tell me what you've done wrong?"

Yan Zuozuo didn't know why Chi's mother had such a big problem with her: "Mom, I've done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide. Tong Shili's identity is not simple. I'm worried about you. Even if Mo Qing were here today, I believe he would make the same decision as me."

"Don't try to fool me with Mo Qing! I think you're up to no good. Or are you afraid that Mo Qing and Shi Li are getting too close and threatening you? Yan Zuozuo, if you don't even have this much magnanimity, our Chi family won't tolerate you!"

"!" Yan Zuozuo stared wide-eyed in astonishment, looking at Chi's mother in disbelief. Did her words mean they should get a divorce? She felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, and her face turned deathly pale.

Chi Ran couldn't accept it: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? My brother and sister-in-law will never get a divorce!"

"Who said that? Don't think you can act with impunity just because you gave birth to two children for the Chi family. Let me tell you, I am the true mistress of this house. Listen to me carefully: you can have many wives in this world, but you can only have one mother!"

Yan Zuozuo swayed slightly. Yes, one can have many wives, but only one mother. If Chi's mother continued like this, she would eventually break them up. She smiled bitterly, looking directly at Chi's mother, and said slowly, "Mom, you're right, you can only have one mother, but I am Chi Moqing's wife. Even if you don't like me anymore, you can say so. But if we're getting a divorce, let Chi Moqing tell me himself. You are my elder, and it's only right that I respect and be filial to you, but I'm also a person. Shouldn't you also give me respect?"

She took a deep breath: "I'm sorry, I'm very tired today. I'll take the child and leave now." She winked at the nanny, then turned and left. Behind her, she heard the sound of shattering glass, but she didn't turn back and continued walking.

Honey, please come back soon. If you're any later, I might not be able to hold on any longer.

The next day, Yan Zuozuo woke up at seven o'clock in the morning. She went to see the two children first. The little ones were already awake, babbling and playing in bed.

She smiled, then heard the nanny calling her for dinner. She pinched the cheeks of her two little ones, picked them up, and carried them downstairs.

The nanny was feeding the two children. She sat at the table, eating slowly and deliberately, with a newspaper beside her. The headline read: "One Night with Eight Women, Even Live-in Sons-in-Law Go Crazy!" The subtitle read: "The Fox's Tail Has Finally Been Revealed."

The accompanying text consisted of numerous photos with blurred faces, but the facial expressions were still clear, making it easy to recognize Gu Yunxi. The photos were quite explicit, and Gu Yunxi's expression was one of ecstasy. Even actors in Japanese adult films would blush and their hearts would race upon seeing them, let alone normal people.

Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched as she read. Besides the exaggerated descriptions of certain aspects of Gu Yunxi's life, the report also listed how he used his father-in-law's underworld connections to bully ordinary people, and how many female celebrities had been bullied by him. Some top-tier celebrities even came forward to testify, accusing him in every word.

Yan Zuozuo was stunned. She could imagine how much public condemnation Gu Yunxi would face from now on, probably having to cover her face even when walking on the street. More importantly, the report subtly implied that Gu Yunxi was involved in illegal transactions, possibly even dealing in nationally contraband. Gu Yunxi was now completely ruined, but…

Yan Zuozuo quickly pictured Mi Xuer's gentle face in her mind, wondering how she would react after reading the report.

She frowned slightly. Below was another news item: the newspaper that had previously reported on her close relationship with Stephen had closed down for restructuring. She was taken aback. This Stephen was truly ruthless!

After breakfast, she wiped her hands and called Stephen, "I saw the news, thank you."

"Oh, my poor little heart, Zuo Zuo, what is our relationship? Why are you being so polite?" Stephen's silly words left Yan Zuo Zuo speechless. "President Stephen, I want to say it again, we are just friends, and I only love my husband. I don't like this kind of ambiguity."

Stephen paused, holding his phone, then burst into laughter. "Of course we're friends, I understand."

Yan Zuozuo nodded: "I just wanted to express my gratitude. That's all. I'll hang up now..."

"Wait, wait, wait!" Stephen quickly interjected, "Is that all? No, even if you're not offering yourself in return, you should at least treat me to a meal. That's so unfair of you."

Yan Zuozuo wished she could chop off her own hands; she shouldn't have made that call.

“Okay, when?” she asked.

Stephen was flattered by Yan Zuozuo's straightforwardness. "Oh, I need to check the schedule first. But remember, you owe me a meal, no backing out!"

Yan Zuozuo was speechless: "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up, Stephen's smile vanished instantly. He glanced at the newspaper on the table, a cold glint in his eyes.

It was obvious that someone else was secretly handling the matter besides him. However, that person was very well hidden; despite the crackdown on newspapers, he hadn't received a single word from them.

Their speed and skill surpass his!

Stephen tapped the table, a meaningful smile slowly curving his lips.

Chi Moqing is finally back.

He lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, picked up the phone beside him and quickly dialed, "Chi Moqing should be back, our game has officially begun... I know, I will keep a close eye on the young master, please rest assured."

Yan Zuozuo was at home taking care of her child when the doorbell rang. Cai Keren and Mi Xuer came to visit, and Tong Shili was also there. As soon as Cai Keren saw Yan Zuozuo, she burst into laughter, shouting, "Zuozuo, as expected, evil deeds get their just desserts! Hahaha, this bad man finally got his comeuppance, serves him right!"

Yan Zuozuo smiled, glancing at Mi Xuer without making her eyes notice. Mi Xuer appeared calm, as if the whole affair had nothing to do with her. Was she truly indifferent, or was she simply hiding it too well?

Yan Zuozuo looked away and said with a smile, "Why are you more excited than me?"

"Of course I'm excited! They bullied you, which is bullying me. Zuo Zuo, tell me, where did this fairy sister come from, so righteous in helping us eliminate the bad guys? I want to give her a medal." Cai Keren chuckled, and seeing Yan Zuo Zuo drinking tea, she immediately said excitedly, "Zuo Zuo, let me tell you, Xu'er's running skills are absolutely top-notch. Why don't we enjoy it today?"

"Okay, then I'll make you some tea." Mi Xuer smiled and asked the nanny to take her to get the tea set and tea leaves.

Yan Zuozuo felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Tong Shili, but she didn't show it. She greeted her, "Shili, come and sit down too."

Tong Shili shook her head: "I have something to do later, I just came with them to join in the fun. Also, I'm sorry about the last outing."

"What are you saying? It's not your fault. Since you have something to do, I won't keep you any longer. I'll invite you for tea another time." Yan Zuozuo said, standing up to see her off.

The moment Tong Shili disappeared from her sight, her phone rang. Yan Zuozuo's eyes lit up—it was Can Can!
