The phone rang for the umpteenth time. Eventually, Shen Jun still picked it up helplessly. “Mom, what’s the matter?”
“Can’t I call my own son for no reason? You brat!” Zhao Jiao’s voice came through with a hint of irritation. “I heard your little girlfriend got tangled up in another mess?”
At that moment, Zhao Jiao was in the middle of a WeChat group conversation with members of Wen Nian’s fan club, brainstorming ways to salvage her popularity and boost her image. Simultaneously, she was trying to figure out a way to remind her son to pay attention to the Jiang family. She felt a couple more wrinkles forming on her forehead.
Thinking that she was calling to gloat, Shen Jun responded with a touch of annoyance, “The situation has been resolved. No need to worry.”
Zhao Jiao cursed the brat countless times in her heart. If she hadn’t turned the tide, Wen Nian might have been slandered to death. She, this unfilial son, still didn’t know how to repay kindness.
However, maintaining the facade of an evil mother-in-law, Zhao Jiao nonchalantly remarked, “As long as it’s settled, I’m not concerned. I just hope this won’t affect the Shen family.”
Before Shen Jun could respond, Zhao Jiao continued, “Don’t you own a piece of land in the western suburbs? 1 heard that Wen Nian’s ex-fiance, the Wei family, has secured the plot of land right next to yours. You two seem to have similar tastes!”
Shen Jun was caught completely off guard by the sudden change of topic. He couldn’t fathom why Zhao Jiao was abruptly bringing up this matter.
He replied incredulously, “There has been no news about the Wei family wanting to acquire that land. And besides, they wouldn’t be able to navigate the approval procedures.”
His bewilderment only deepened. He had obtained the land in the western suburbs through the Shen family’s connections. The Wei family was relatively unfamiliar with the capital city and lacked the necessary foundations. How could they secure a prime piece of real estate that was highly coveted by many? “Why should you be concerned about how they manage their affairs? According to your father’s information, they’ve already secured it. They’ll be finalizing the procedures next month,” Zhao Jiao responded.
“Why do you care how they manage it? Anyway, I heard from your father that they’ve secured it. They’re planning to finalize the procedures next month.”
Hearing the silence on the other end, Zhao Jiao sensed that Shen Jun was likely uncovering something. She was about to hang up when she suddenly heard a sweet female voice from Shen Jun’s end of the line.
“Shen Jun, I’m done showering. Why don’t you go take a shower?” Wen Nian had just finished showering when she saw Shen Jun holding the phone. She quickly stopped talking.
A hint of guilt swept over Shen Jun. “Mom, I’m still busy with something. I’ll hang up.”
Listening to the beeping sound indicating the call had ended, Zhao Jiao couldn’t contain her elation.
After taking a shower, Shen Mo saw Zhao Jiao’s excited eyes.
She rushed over and gave Shen Mo a tight hug. “I-I think I might become a grandmother soon!”
Then, she kissed Shen Mo’s face a few times. “I’m going to be a grandmother soon. I’m going to be a grandmother!”
The couple on the other end blushed. Wen Nian didn’t expect Shen Jun’s mother to call at this time. She felt that the other party must have heard what she said just now.
Seeing her awkward expression, Shen Jun quickly explained, “It’s okay. It’s far away. My mother can’t hear you.”
Wen Nian didn’t want to continue dwelling on this problem with him, so she whispered, “Go take a shower first.”
Shen Jun also blushed and went into the bathroom with his head lowered.
Sensing that his aura in the room had faded a little, Wen Nian took a deep breath. However, before she could completely relax, Shen Jun’s phone suddenly rang, scaring her.
Jiang Chun: “Shen Jun, things went wrong because of me. I’m really sorry, especially to you and Wen Nian. 1 want to apologize to her, even though she might not forgive me. Could you help me tell her I’m sorry? I tried telling Wei Lai many times to stay out of your and Wen Nian’s business, but she wouldn’t listen. She thought Wen Nian, from a small family, wasn’t good enough for the Shen family. I’m sorry I couldn’t stop her and that it caused problems for Wen Nian.”
Jiang Chun: Wen Nian won’t be mad at you, right? The police talked to me, but 1 didn’t say she pushed me. If I did, they might have arrested Wen Nian and not let her go. If she’s upset with you because of me, I can talk to her and explain.
Jiang Chun: “I heard that Wen Nian wants to sue Wei Lai, but Wei Lai is only in his teens and the Wei and Wei families have always been on good terms. If Wei Lai is really arrested, her life will be ruined. Wen Nian is so kind. She definitely won’t do that, right?”
Watching Jiang Chun’s WeChat messages come in one by one, Wen Nian couldn’t help but sneer in her heart.. It seems that Jiang Chun really can’t remain patient, huh?
