Chapter 3 - Innocence

"Mom." Zhong's mother had always been a little afraid of this old woman, but she was too concerned about her son's happiness. In the end, Zhong's mother didn't want to just give in and just let her go.

"What are you doing here? Hurry up and go take a look at your lunch. If you don't see anything, you'll be hungry." Zhong's grandma looked at his wife who was completely humiliated, and felt even more infuriated. He was truly petty, after all these years in Zhong Family, he still had not learned a single bit of Zhong Family's bearing, and did not know what this old man had taken a fancy to back then.

It could only be said that as soon as one didn't like someone, that person's shortcomings would increase infinitely. Sometimes, because of prejudice, no matter what the other party did, they would feel that the other party was not doing well, moreover, it was all wrong. This kind of emotion wouldn't change just because of the other party's retreat.

Looking at his grandmother's attitude towards his mother, Zhong Haoyan couldn't help but frown. It was just that his mother couldn't bear looking at him like that, so he didn't want to use his help to cause her to be unhappy. When he went out in the future, it wasn't like his mother would feel sad about it anymore.

"Grandmother, I still have some matters to attend to." Zhong Haoyan left a sentence for her to say in her own study on the third floor. Since she wanted to marry him, she had to look into his life and if there was anything wrong with it, she had to correct it before marriage.

His grandma couldn't help but be suspicious, thinking that his grandson was usually very busy, so she stopped thinking about other things and just thought that her niece and granddaughter would return home in a short time. No matter what, she had to get her grandson and grandson to cultivate their relationship, so she went on to do other things.

No matter what her mother-in-law had been busy with, she had escaped a calamity this time. However, thinking about her future daughter-in-law's matter, she could not help but start to worry a little, she knew that her mother-in-law did not like the Jian Family, but she felt that the Jian Family was not bad, not a problem with the money. Families like hers did not lack the money, and the main reason was because the other party was not born from a first-rate family, so she was not inferior to her daughter-in-law.

In addition, she was also afraid that if her mother-in-law were to say that her son would not be good to his daughter-in-law and that he would be as close to her as her husband, that was what she didn't want to see the most. She hoped that her son would be happier than she was, and would have a better love and family.

"Mom, have you really left already?" Jian Ning never thought that her mother would be like this. She had already known long ago that her fiance wouldn't become her husband, and she was secretly happy for a long time at that time, compared to bitterly forcing her sister-in-law to live, she liked living a life filled with money and money. It was obvious that a poor soldier would never be able to give her this kind of life, so when she first knew her mother's plans, she had no intentions of opposing it.

Although the marriage had been annulled, she was more suspicious than ever, because she had never seen the Zhong Family or Zhong Haoyan, if she had only not seen Zhong Haoyan, then it would be fine, but as a poor soldier, she did not have much freedom, but she had not even seen the Zhong Family, which was very strange.

Seeing his absent-minded mother, Jian Ning's little daughter's bashfulness disappeared without a trace. She could not help but become very unhappy, and her tone became a little more serious.

"Ah!" Mrs. Jian disappeared after her daughter yelled at her. She couldn't help but to look back at her daughter in a daze. She was still in a daze, but a voice in her heart couldn't help but remind her that she had missed something.

"Mom, how can you be like this?" Don't think that Jian Ning was twenty-five years old, she was actually not mature at all. Sometimes, she would even get angry at her little cousin who was only nine years old.

"Good girl, don't do it, mom is not thinking about how to get the Jian's so that you and Hong Xuan can take it." When Mrs. Jian saw that his daughter was angry, and was even thinking about being cut in half, she started to get angry. When she saw her daughter bow down, her heart softened and she started to comfort her.

"Mother, how does Yang Xi know this?" Compared to her often angry cousin Jane Chen, Jian Ning naturally hated her father even more. Even if she didn't even get a simple surname, it wouldn't stop her from hating him.

Mrs. Jian could not help but crease her brows a bit, thinking that she should get rid of the person who disgusted her for the better half of her life. Thinking about how there had been an old and ugly upstart recently, she decided that it should be him, and wondered what her husband would feel when he knew that she would have a son-in-law who was older than him, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little better.

"How can you react? Aren't you scared stiff?" Mrs. Jian couldn't help but think back to the time, and realized that she didn't notice Yang Xi's reaction at all. That damned girl's sense of existence was too low, low to the point that she, someone who would immediately feel disgusted whenever she thought of him, actually didn't notice him in that situation.

"Hmph, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have broken off this engagement. Grandfather would have hoped that our two families could marry each other. At that time, it would have been a good thing for that damned girl to go and support us." Jian Ning did not like having her things occupied by others, so even if she did not like the things she did not want, she did not like the people she disliked taking over. Although she said that, she did not think that way.

Mrs. Jian frowned, she did not know why she rejected such an outcome from the bottom of her heart. She felt that if such a thing really happened, she would feel regret in her heart, and could not help but feel goosebumps.

"Mom, mom, what happened to you?" Jian Ning proudly said this, but she was still worried for a moment. She couldn't help but think that all of the people who got married for him in those novels were having a good time, and that those little thoughts were gone in the end. She couldn't help but feel displeased, wanting Mrs. Jian to marry that damned girl Yang Xi quickly so that she wouldn't feel very annoyed.

The Mrs. Jian herself thought that it was nothing, but then she thought that although she looked like she was in her thirties, she was actually in her fifties. It was common sense for her to pay attention to her body, so she did not object to her daughter calling the family doctor.

"Look how nervous you are, what can I do for you?" Although Mrs. Jian said this, he felt that since his daughter had grown up, she, as her mother, had not cared about when the family doctor would come. As for him, he just thought that he was tired due to having too many matters to take care of.

"Mom is the backbone of me and my brother, so everything must be done with caution." Jian Ning said while grinning, seeing that his mother's complexion had improved, he felt that it was fine and relaxed, but the doctors had already called her, so he naturally had to see her.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Big Brother Jian Family was not as angry as she thought, because he felt that what his mother did was the right thing to do.

"What's going on?" He had originally thought that if his mother did not allow him to do the research, he would wait for this period of time and then investigate everything properly. He just did not expect that after he stopped to do the research, his mother would annul the marriage between Zhong Family and his sister, which made him feel that something was wrong.

His mother was born in a merchant family, and had also obtained such a large business, but in the end, she did not come out from the inner chamber. He did not know if the Zhong Family was as ordinary as it looked on the surface.

The assistant also felt that it was tough, how did he know that the mistress would do such a thing? The young mistress' family had just received news that the Zhong Family might be related to the upper echelons of the military, and the mistress had immediately annulled the engagement between the young master and the young miss.

"Madam seems to have been preparing for a long time." The assistant felt that it was useless to be bitter. It would be best to speak the truth, otherwise his boss would not give him any face. Thinking about the final matter of the company, he felt deeply sorry for it.

"Alright, you may leave." Jian Hongxuan powerlessly rubbed his forehead, thinking of whether he could save the situation in the future, and couldn't help but directly go to the ancestral residence. Others may still be unable to do anything, but since it was set down by Grandfather, Grandfather should have a way.

"Hubby." Zhuo Qin called out to her husband who was about to leave. She naturally knew what he wanted to do, it was just that this matter was set by her mother-in-law, if they were to interfere, it would make her embarrassed, and Zhong Family was probably not a family that would let them say whatever they wanted to say.

"Why are you here?" As he said this, his movements weren't slow at all. He helped his wife into the office, thinking that now that something had happened, he wouldn't be able to change anything no matter how anxious he was.

"Don't worry about what happened today." Seeing her husband close the door and support her to sit down, Zhuo Qin said.

"That's my sister." Jian Hongxuan couldn't help but frown. He naturally knew that his wife and sister didn't have a good relationship, but that person was his own sister after all.
