Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 275 Mother Chi is also conflicted

"I'm honored, Director, you can handle it as you see fit." She touched her nose and said dejectedly. Who would have thought that someone as unknown as her could one day generate buzz through a scandal? This is truly complicated.

“In that case, I’m prepared to let them do it.” Fisher made the decision cheerfully, then changed the subject, “Of course, don’t rush things regarding the recording. Trust me, no one will hurt you.”

Yan Zuozuo nodded: "I'm fine, my husband will protect me."

Seeing his tender expression, Fisher felt as if he were being pricked by needles. Did Chi Moqing really think that only he could protect her? Seeing her happy expression when she mentioned Chi Moqing, he felt a pang of jealousy.

“Indeed, President Chi will definitely handle it well. However, if you need my help, just ask, and I will do my best.” He paused for a moment before saying, “As for Qin Yun, you don’t need to worry, I will handle it.”

Yan Zuozuo paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Director, may I ask you a question?"

"You said."

"Director, are you really not planning to rekindle your relationship with Deputy Director Qin?"

Fisher's eyes flickered: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who can accept a woman cheating on him?"

Yan Zuozuo's breath hitched. That's right. Qin Yun is still entangled with Stephen; given Fisher's personality, there's no way he'd accept her. Come to think of it, Qin Yun brought this on himself; he doesn't deserve any sympathy.

If she had previously spared Qin Yun a shred of face, hoping that she and Fisher could reconcile, it seemed there was no need to spare any face now. Fisher wasn't helping her anymore, and given how Qin Yun had framed her, she had no reason to be merciful. Thinking this, Yan Zuozuo suddenly felt a great sense of relief.

"Zuo Zuo, there's something I need to remind you of. Meng Xinyu's mother is not a good person. Meng Xinyu's mother played a significant role in the Meng family's rise to prominence back then. This woman is a formidable character, so you need to be careful."

Yan Zuozuo smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Director, my husband will protect me well."

Fisher's eyes narrowed slightly, and her heart clenched. Did Chi Moqing only exist in her eyes and heart? He would protect her too, so why couldn't she open her heart to him?

He took a deep breath and pushed a document in front of Yan Zuozuo. "Take a look at this."

When Yan Zuozuo opened the folder and saw the name Yi Fanxi, her heart skipped a beat. Had Fisher really recognized her after all? Of course, the design world is a small circle, and Yi Fanxi is so famous; it was impossible for Fisher to overlook her.

"My teacher was a proud and arrogant man who never admired anyone. But he was very impressed with Yi Fanxi and tried to recruit him to his company more than once, but Yi Fanxi always declined. Far from being angry, he appreciated him even more. You could say that in the entire design world, Yi Fanxi is like Li Bai in ancient Chinese poetry... Well, no, Li Bai wasn't exactly a genius, but Yi Fanxi is... Anyway, this person is a rare design prodigy..."

Yan Zuozuo frowned: "Why does the director think he would be willing to come here as a lowly assistant?"

Fisher shook his head, surprised that Yan Zuozuo didn't seem shocked. However, he also felt there was more to her question than met the eye. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "You seem to have known all along?"

“Director, I think I should be honest with you about something first. Actually, I’ve met him before…” Now that Yi Fanxi’s identity has been exposed, Yan Zuozuo saw no need to hide anything. She briefly explained how she knew Yi Fanxi and then speculated, “I think he’s very likely after Qin Yun.”

Fisher seemed thoughtful, then thought for a moment and said, "That makes some sense, but in my opinion, it's just a facade, and there are probably other reasons. Let's not worry about it for now. It's a blessing for our company to have recruited this talent. Let's wait and see."

Yan Zuozuo nodded: "It's just that being my assistant is too much of a waste of your talents."

Fisher took a sip of coffee and said, "He must have his own considerations. Now that he's your assistant, you don't need to feel too much pressure. Just treat him like an ordinary person."

Yan Zuozuo smiled slightly: "I understand."

After get off work in the afternoon, Chi Moqing called her, saying he needed to go back to the military compound. Yan Zuozuo made some preparations and went with him. On the way, she was still a little nervous, and glancing at Chi Moqing, she said, "Honey, I heard Auntie used to be very powerful."

Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Fischer told you?"

She nodded honestly: "Yes, you said that my aunt is both a relative and very powerful, so wouldn't she be difficult to deal with?"

Chi Moqing chuckled softly, "Wife, you've been watching too much Wuxin: The Monster Killer. Do you think we're demon hunters?"

Yan Zuozuo felt a little embarrassed and muttered to herself, "I'm just worried."

"Don't worry, with your husband here, even the most formidable monster will be caught in my hands." He chuckled and patted her head. The car was already parked in the military compound, and he took her hand and led her inside.

As soon as she entered, she saw Chi Ran there. Because she was getting married to Lu Zhitu, she was coming home quite often. As soon as she saw Yan Zuozuo and the others return, she rushed over to hug them, "Sister-in-law, it's been so long! You've become more and more beautiful."

"You're getting more and more beautiful. You're going to be a bride soon. Tsk tsk, you look so radiant, you're so charming." Yan Zuozuo hugged her and said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law is making fun of me, how annoying!" Chi Ran hugged Yan Zuozuo's arm and walked inside. Suddenly, she lowered her voice and whispered, "You have to be careful later. Auntie came over last night and cried and made a fuss. Mom was a little soft-hearted."

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. Could it be that her mother-in-law was planning to let them bypass Meng Xinyu? She frowned slightly and subconsciously glanced at Chi Moqing, wondering if her husband could withstand this onslaught.

"However, don't worry. Meng Xinyu went too far this time. As long as my brother persists, Dad might even support you. Sister-in-law, I support you in capturing the demon. Good luck!"

Subduing demons? They really are siblings; even their choice of words is perfectly in sync. She couldn't help but chuckle softly.

As they spoke, they had already reached the living room, where they saw Chi's parents sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Not seeing Aunt and Meng Xinyu, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zuo Zuo, Mo Qing, you're back. Please have a seat." Mother Chi said with a smile, and told the nanny to quickly bring out the snacks and fruit platter.

Yan Zuozuo and Chi Moqing sat down next to each other. Chi's mother invited Yan Zuozuo to have some snacks, saying, "These are some local specialties that some of my friends brought back from their trip. Try them, and if you like them, take some with you when you leave."

"Thank you, Mom." Yan Zuozuo took two pieces, gave one to Chi Moqing, ate a few bites, and felt that the taste was a bit strange and she didn't really like it, but she still smiled and said, "It's pretty good."

Mrs. Chi said happily, "Eat more if you like it. It tastes better with tea."

Yan Zuozuo felt a pang of embarrassment, but forced herself to eat another piece.

Chi's mother first chatted with them about some trivial topics, mostly revolving around the twins. Before long, she finally got to the point, "Mom called you back because I still want to talk about Xinyu."

Yan Zuozuo had already been informed by Chi Ran, so she was mentally prepared and nodded, saying, "Mom, go ahead."

Chi's mother was actually a little embarrassed. After all, Meng Xinyu had gone too far in this matter. Asking Zuo Zuo to forgive her would make her, as the mother-in-law, seem too biased. Moreover, Zuo Zuo had no relatives now and could only rely on her husband's family. It would be too unreasonable for them not to support her.

She originally didn't intend to get involved, after all, it was her daughter-in-law who had been wronged. But unfortunately, Meng's mother had been crying and making a scene last night, and Meng was her only sister. After so many years without children, she had finally adopted Meng Xinyu, whom she cherished like her own life. It wouldn't be right for her not to help, so she was in a real dilemma.

Chi's mother glanced at Chi's father, clearly indicating that he disagreed with her helping Meng Xinyu. But she couldn't refuse, so she had to bite the bullet and say, "Zuozuo, I already know about Xinyu's situation. She was wrong, and I'm on your side."

Yan Zuozuo smiled and waited for Chi's mother to get to the point.

Chi's mother hesitated for a moment, her eyes flickered, but she finally spoke up, "I apologize on her behalf. It's all thanks to your aunt's teaching. We've spoiled her and made you suffer."

Yan Zuozuo didn't know how to respond for a moment. Should she say, "It's okay, I won't hold it against you"? She couldn't do that. So, she remained silent, only smiling.

"But after all, your aunt only has this one daughter, and she had her late in life. Do you think you and Mo Qing could..."

"Mom, even you said Xinyu went too far this time. Aren't you obviously favoring her and making Zuozuo suffer?" Before Chi's mother could finish speaking, Chi Moqing spoke up unhappily.

Chi's mother glared at him: "So what are you planning to do? Now that Xinyu's reputation is ruined, it's probably impossible for her to climb up to Young Master Ou. She's learned her lesson. What else do you want to do?"

“She deserves what she got, but she wronged my wife and your daughter-in-law. Shouldn’t we, as family members, demand an explanation?” Chi Moqing frowned.

Chi's mother's eyes narrowed slightly: "Then what do you mean by that?"

"A public apology, whether on television or online, whatever you did, repent in front of the whole nation and apologize to my wife!" Chi Moqing glanced at his mother. "My wife cannot be wronged and exonerated for no reason."

Chi's mother pursed her lips. This request was not excessive, but Meng Xinyu was still an unmarried young woman. Would any man still want her?

“If she doesn’t agree, that’s fine too. I don’t mind suing her directly. Please tell her, Mom, that she should just wait for the lawyer’s letter!” Chi Moqing said firmly. If he compromised at this point, he wouldn’t deserve to be Yan Zuozuo’s husband!

Chi's mother pursed her lips, unable to answer for a moment.

"Zuo Zuo, do you think you could..."

"Mom, aren't you putting Zuo Zuo in a difficult position? You're her mother, and Meng Xinyu has framed her like this. Are you planning to make her forgive her as a hypocrite?" He paused, his displeased expression darkening. "If it were Mom who was hurt today, what would Dad do?"

"Let her never have a chance to recover." Chi's father, who had been silent until now, took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, but his words were tantamount to siding with Chi Moqing, leaving Chi's mother speechless.

Indeed, for so many years, Chi's father had always protected her. Anyone who dared to bully her was dealt with even more ruthlessly than her son. Back then, she felt a warm glow in her heart, and that happiness has lasted to this day. But now that her son is protecting his wife, if she, as his mother, tries to stop him in every way, wouldn't she be just like the wicked woman who bullied her back then?

Chi's mother was conflicted, torn between her daughter-in-law and her own sister. She looked at Chi's father and then at Chi Moqing with distress, "Then tell me, what should I do now? Don't tell me to just reject your aunt. She's my only sister, and I don't plan to cut ties with her forever."

Chi Moqing lowered his eyes, paused, and said, "Mom told Aunt that we agreed and decided to forgive our cousin, but this is a one-time thing, and it will not happen again."

Chi's mother was taken aback: "Son, what do you mean by that?"
