Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 413 Chi Moqing is her happiness

Chi Xuecan returned shortly after. Hearing that Yan Zuozuo hadn't eaten, she brought in dinner. Seeing Yan Zuozuo's swollen eyes, Chi Xuecan felt a pang of pity.

“Silly child, you need to stay calm, especially at crucial moments. Your mother-in-law has many tricks up her sleeve. If you lose your composure now, you'll only end up letting her have her way.” She sat down next to Yan Zuozuo and said gently.

Yan Zuozuo bit her lip and shrank back involuntarily. "I regret it so much now. If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred not to go to work and to take care of the children myself. Now the children are with my mother-in-law, and I don't know what to do. They are so young and innocent, yet they have to suffer this humiliation because of me, their mother... Can Can, I'm so angry and so sad..."

“I know, who wouldn’t be angry if they got into this mess? If it were me, I’d expose Chi’s mother right now and see if she still has the nerve to continue doing evil. But you can’t, and you won’t, am I right?”

Yan Zuozuo lowered her eyes and gave a bitter laugh. Yes, no matter what, Chi's mother was Chi Moqing's mother and the child's grandmother. If she really revealed what happened back then, she was afraid they would never reconcile. Moreover, Chi's mother had been very good to her before, and she couldn't repay kindness with enmity.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. Eat dinner first." Chi Xuecan placed the dinner in front of her and said with a smile, "If you want to stand up to your mother-in-law, you need to have enough ability and power." After a pause, she winked mischievously and said, "Zuozuo, do you know why Xiaoqingzi dares to stand up to his mother, even without showing any mercy?"

Yan Zuozuo was stunned for a moment: "Because that's her mother. No matter what, they are still mother and child in the end."

Chi Xuecan shook her head: "That's not how it is. Your mother-in-law had a very tight grip on Xiao Qingzi back then, and wanted to arrange everything for him. But Xiao Qingzi was very decisive. In order to get rid of your mother-in-law's control, he constantly trained himself while serving in the army, going wherever there was danger. You could say he was on the verge of death. That's how he achieved his later glory and finally got rid of your mother-in-law's control."

Yan Zuozuo's eyes widened in disbelief. She had always thought that her mother-in-law, Chi Moqing, was very indulgent; otherwise, they wouldn't have gotten married without informing her first, and only told Chi's mother later.

"Your mother-in-law introduced many women to Xiaoqingzi who were both beautiful and from good families, but Xiaoqingzi rejected them all. In the end, he moved out of the house and even threatened to apply for a transfer to Africa if your mother-in-law continued to do this endlessly. After being rejected countless times, your mother-in-law finally gave up on him."

Yan Zuozuo was surprised by this turn of events. She had always thought that Chi's mother was a reasonable and understanding mother-in-law. It turned out that she had no choice but to accept Chi Moqing because she couldn't control her.

Thinking about it this way, she felt a mix of emotions.

"So, if you want to fight against someone like your mother-in-law, you must first strengthen your own power. You need to be strong and have enough ability to protect yourself and your family. Although you are not as powerful as your mother-in-law right now, you have many friends who are willing to help you, and you have good character. Are you afraid that you can't deal with her?"

Yan Zuozuo felt a warmth in her heart, and her mindset became much more peaceful.

"Your mother-in-law's move is indeed vicious, but you don't need to worry. She brought this upon herself and has almost ruined the reputation of the entire Chi family. That's where her stupidity lies. Let her do whatever she wants. As the saying goes, things will turn around when they reach their extreme. She'll have her day."

Yan Zuozuo didn't quite understand, and Chi Xuecan didn't seem to mean to explain further. She simply told her to relax and take good care of herself. After this conversation with Chi Xuecan, Yan Zuozuo felt much calmer and less upset.

As Chi Xuecan stepped out of the room, she received a call from Meng Yuanfei, who said that before he could contact the Information Bureau, Chi's mother had already used her connections to buy the broadcasting rights for the program. Considering her special status and the explosive nature of the news, it had already been broadcast before any official notification was issued, leaving him powerless to do anything about it.

"I understand, then let's leave it at that for now." Chi Xuecan frowned, feeling that things weren't so simple.

Following Chi Xuecan's advice, Yan Zuozuo cut off all contact with the outside world and spent her days in the villa watching TV and reading newspapers, drawing pictures. Apart from worrying about her two sons, she lived a leisurely life.

That day, Chi Ran and Shang Xiaoguo came to see her. As soon as Shang Xiaoguo saw Yan Zuozuo, she was as excited as if she had seen a long-lost relative. She rushed into Yan Zuozuo's arms and said with a wronged tone, "Young Master Ou is really too much. He actually imprisoned me and forbade me to watch TV, read newspapers, and even let me come to see you. Sister Yan, I miss you so much."

Yan Zuozuo looked at her amusedly: "You're pregnant, of course you should live a green life. Third Young Master is doing this for your own good, you ungrateful little thing."

"What? I think he's just being a chauvinist." Shang Xiaoguo pouted like a child, stroking her slightly protruding belly with one hand and excitedly pulling Yan Zuozuo with the other, saying, "Sister Yan, why don't we arrange a marriage between our children? You have two sons, just give one to my daughter, please."

Yan Zuozuo chuckled at her serious expression. "Now that marriage is a matter of personal freedom, be careful your daughter might dislike you in the future. However, if fate allows, it wouldn't be bad if we could be betrothed as children."

"Yes, yes, it's settled then, hehe." Shang Xiaoguo said happily, but soon she started frowning again, "What if I'm having a boy too?"

Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Shang Xiaoguo exclaim, "I've got it! I can have a second child. Anyway, it will definitely be a girl. Hahaha, I'm so smart!"

Yan Zuozuo smiled when she saw her like this.

"Ugh, I'm hungry, Sister Yan, is there anything to eat?" Shang Xiaoguo looked around but couldn't find anything she wanted to eat.

Yan Zuozuo pointed to the refrigerator and the kitchen: "Take a look and see what you want to eat, and have the chef make it for you."

Upon hearing this, Shang Xiaoguo happily ran towards the refrigerator.

Only Yan Zuozuo and Chi Ran remained in the living room. Chi Ran looked at her with deep apology, "Zuozuo, I'm so sorry. I never expected my mom to do something like this. It's just too much!"

Yan Zuozuo's eyes darkened, and she shook her head, saying, "Don't say that, it has nothing to do with you. In the end, it's my own fault for not being careful enough, which is why Mom hates me so much. But the child is innocent after all..." As she spoke, she became extremely sad.

Chi Ran also looked sad. Only Yan Zuozuo could tolerate Chi's mother's temper. If it were her, she would have already made a huge scene. She sighed and said, "Don't worry, I will go back and persuade Mom. My brother should be back soon, and then I will ask him to stand up for you. Zuozuo, don't worry, we all know what kind of person you are. No matter what, we are on your side."

Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiao Ran."

"Why are you being so polite? We're family. We've wronged you during this time; it's our fault."

Yan Zuozuo didn't say anything, but handed her an orange.

Recalling the cacophony of comments online about the matter, Chi Ran said, "Don't pay too much attention to the news, and don't retaliate now. Once the momentum wanes and my brother returns, he'll naturally clear your name. The more you try to clarify things now, the more difficult it will become." She put down the orange, took Yan Zuozuo's hand, and said, "Zuozuo, you have many friends around you, and we all believe in you and stand by your side. This is something my mother could never do. I believe you will win!"

Yan Zuozuo chuckled softly, "Thank you. I used to think that if I had married an ordinary man, would I have had so many troubles? But recently I've come to realize that some things are bound to happen, no matter who I marry. Besides, if I hadn't met your brother, I might not be this happy now, and I wouldn't have met people like you who care about me so much. I should be the one saying thank you, thank you for being so tolerant of me, for taking care of me, and for always believing in me."

Chi Ran smiled, sharing the same feeling as Yan Zuozuo. When Lu Zhitu didn't like her, she also wondered if she would have been less miserable if she had fallen in love with Lu Yaoyuan instead of him.

But if it weren't for Lu Zhitu, how could she have the happiness she has now? True happiness in marriage and family comes only when you're with the person you deeply love.

She thought that she and Yan Zuozuo shared the same idea: no matter how many chances they had to start over, they would still make the same choice.

Chi Ran and Shang Xiaoguo left after dinner. Yan Zuozuo returned to her quiet solitude. She sat on the balcony, hugging her knees, thinking about the bustling past. She was certain of her thoughts: no matter how hard she tried, she could not give up her happiness, and she could not leave Chi Moqing and the children.

In the Chi family's living room, Chi's father watched the news report on television, his face grim and his eyes icy. Chi's mother wasn't home, but Chi Ran and Lu Zhitu were.

With a loud bang, Mr. Chi slammed his teacup down on the table, his face turning even more grim.

Chi Ran and Lu Zhitu were startled. They had expected Chi's father to be unhappy, but they hadn't anticipated him to be this unhappy. Although Chi's father had always been stern and rarely smiled, he was also rarely angry. This time, with Chi's father so furious, it seemed that Chi's mother would have to pray for the best.

A flicker of anger flashed in Chi's father's eyes. It seemed that he had indeed been too lenient with Chi's mother all along, which was why she had acted so recklessly and unreasonably.

Yan Zuozuo is a good girl. He knew that from the first day she entered the house. Moreover, she is his son's happiness. No matter what, he would never let Chi's mother ruin everything because of her selfishness!

Outside Chi Xuecan's villa, Qin Yun stood at a distance, watching the villa entrance surrounded by reporters, a sinister smile slowly creeping onto his lips.

Yan Zuozuo, are you tasting the bitter fruit of your actions now? Getting married and still having affairs, this is what you deserve!

To be honest, she never expected that Chi's mother could be so fierce, disregarding the reputation of the entire Chi family to kick Yan Zuozuo out. She was truly a heroine.

She's just waiting to see what happens; she wants to see how Yan Zuozuo handles this. Even with Chi Xuecan's backing, so what? Chi's mother is the matriarch of the entire Chi family!

However, this is just an appetizer; the real show is yet to come. She is certain that Yan Zuozuo will die a horrible death this time!

Thinking of this, Qin Yun's smile deepened.
