My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Conflict Starts to Brew_1

Translator: 549690339

Originally, I intended to pack up and leave immediately, but a minor incident occurred on Jian Jing’s end.

Wenya asked me to go with her to drop Jian Jing off.

Although I was slightly confused, I agreed.

After all, I was the one driving.

Because I was so focused on Yinuo’s matter, I hadn’t paid attention to Jian Jing.

It was only after Jian Jing got into the car,

that Wenya quietly informed me,

“Jian Jing’s husband called her multiple times just now, they had a serious argument!”

“Why?”

I turned my head to look at Jian Jing, whose eyes were red-rimmed from crying.

Wenya sighed,

“I tried asking, but she won’t say. She’s always been proud. Let’s first get her home and see how things go.”

“Okay!”

I drove Jian Jing home.

On the way, I stopped to buy her a cup of milk tea. Her mother-in-law was the one to open the door when we arrived, and she started scolding Jian Jing immediately.

“Where have you been wandering about? With so many guests at home, it’s your duty to serve them. You’re a married woman now, you need to act more responsibly. You have no manners as a wife.”

“Mom, it was my best friend’s birthday today, I went to celebrate with her!”

“What best friend? You’re a wife now, someone else’s spouse, a daughter-in-law. Do you still think you’re single? Hurry inside, there’s a mountain of rubbish in the kitchen waiting for you to clean up.”

I glanced into the living room and indeed, it was filled with relatives gathered around two mahjong tables.

All these able-bodied people were waiting for a pregnant woman to serve them?

I was about to argue with the mother-in-law, but Jian Jing stopped me. She gave a bitter smile and shook her head,

“Ayun, Wenya, thank you for bringing me home! I won’t see you out.”

“Jian Jing, I…”

Before I could finish speaking, Wenya quickly waved goodbye, and led me downstairs.

I was somewhat infuriated. “Didn’t you see Jian Jing getting bullied? Will we just walk away from this and do nothing?”

Wenya sighed again. “You know I have a short temper. If I acted according to my impulse, I would’ve beaten up that old woman already.”

“Then why did you stop me?”

“Let it go, Jian Jing has mentioned that she is expecting, and she still counts on her husband and mother-in-law to look after her confinement after childbirth! If we make a scene now, she’ll be left without any support later on. Let’s tolerate this for the time being!”

The words of Wenya brought me back to my senses.

From my own experience, only the individual involved can save a marriage.

I then sent Wenya home and ended up staying at her place.

The following morning,

As Wenya and I were having breakfast after washing up, the doorbell rang. Wenya’s mom went to open the door and came back looking surprised.

“You naughty girl, you got yourself a boyfriend and didn’t even tell me.”

“Mom? Are you mistaking someone else for me?”

“Did you choose a lawyer because a better option came along! The man’s already here, could I be making this up? Oh right, Wenya’s here, come in boy, don’t just stand at the door.”

Under Wenya’s mom’s bustling hospitality, a man really did walk in from the front door.

It was none other than Yinuo.

Apparently, Wenya’s mom had misunderstood the situation.

Wenya shot Yinuo a look, without offering any explanation, and went straight to the point,

“What are you doing here?”

Yinuo glanced at me,

“I was just passing by, thought I’d join you for breakfast!”

“We don’t have a share for you!”

Wenya bluntly refused.

At this moment, Wenya’s mother enthusiastically brought out a plate of dumplings from the kitchen, whilst scolding Wenya.

“What do you mean there’s no share for him? I’ve made a freezer full of dumplings. Come on, sit down and eat, what’s your name?”

Yinuo, rather polite, took a seat next to me, smiling,

“Thank you, auntie. My name is Ding Yinuo!”

“Ding Yinuo? What a nice name! Is that sports car outside yours?”

“Yes, auntie!”

“What’s your job?”

“I’m a doctor!”

“A doctor, eh? Saving lives, quite a noble profession! Seems really well, seems good! Doctors earn quite a bit, don’t they?”

“No, no, not really.”

“Then how did you buy a sports car?”

“The sports car was…a gift from my brother!”

“Your brother gave it to you…Wow, what does your brother do for a living? He’s so wealthy?”

“He, uh…is the CEO of a publicly-listed company!”

Yinuo was courteous and smooth with his answers. Plus, his handsome appearance quickly won over Wenya’s mother.

Wenya had finished eating and was picking her teeth, while she gave Yinuo a kick under the table,

“Can’t even keep your mouth shut while eating! Say less!”

Yinuo responded to Wenya with a smile, but his eyes slid toward me and he seemed to be in particularly high spirits after noticing that I had removed the jade bangle from my wrist.

“Auntie’s dumplings taste amazing! Since auntie and I get along so well, isn’t it alright if I talk a bit more?”

Wenya’s mom was even more pleased after hearing this,

“By the way, how old are you this year?”

“Auntie, I’m twenty-eight!”

“Good, very good! A man blooms at thirty, mature, stable and successful. Also the same age as my Wenya! No age gap, easier for communication, truly a match made in heaven.”

At this point, Wenya’s mom wished she could make Yinuo her son-in-law right then and there.

Wenya sat there looking as indifferent as ever, her eyes blank, devoid of any expression.

After finishing my dumplings, I quickly excused myself from Wenya’s mother,

“Thank you for the dumplings, auntie. I need to head to work.”

“Alright, drop by whenever you’re free!

After leaving the Wen Family’s home, I asked Wenya,

“Why don’t you explain this to your mom?”

“Explain what?”

“Explain that Yinuo isn’t your boyfriend!”

“No way! If I explained it, she would start pushing me to get together with Su Fagun again. A minor misunderstanding can keep things quiet for a while.”

As soon as we got to my car, Yinuo also hurriedly followed. He was obviously treated differently than us.

In his hand was a big plastic bag filled with apples and snacks. Clearly, Wenya’s mom adored him quite a bit.

Even Wenya seemed jealous.

“That’s not fair, I’ve never been allowed to snack growing up. My mom would cry foul if I ate a slice a cake, calling me fat!”

Yinuo apparently didn’t plan on keeping the snacks either; he simply handed them to Wenya.

“Fine, motherly love is reverted back to you!”

Wenya grabbed the bag and started to walk away.

“I have to go to work, you two can chat on.”

“I’ll drive you!”

“No need, I’ll take the subway, it’s just a few stops away.”

Wenya was already gone, after a quick sprint across the road.

All that remained were Yinuo and I.

We stood there, eyeing each other for a few minutes. Seeing that he wasn’t speaking, I finally got into the car.

“I need to go to work!”

To my surprise, Yinuo followed suit and entered the passenger seat.

“Huh?”

I looked at him, puzzled.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking,

“About what happened last night, I thought it was necessary to clear things up with you!”

“Clear what up? What needs to be cleared up?”
