Chapter 389: Chapter 389 She’s Showing Off

Because this business meeting was critically important to me, I not only prepared all the documentation I needed, but also took Jian Jing with me.

After working with me for a while, Jian Jing had become proficient and capable in the corporate world; she really was a sharp one.

Otherwise, if she hadn’t been blinded into getting together with Yu Jiahang, her prospects could have been even better.

On the journey to the meeting in the business car, Jian Jing finished organizing the documents and then discussed her thoughts with me.

“Ayun, I’ve been thinking, and I don’t know if you’ll agree with my idea?”

Leaning back in my seat, I rubbed my temples and asked,

“What’s your idea?”

“I’m thinking of moving in with you!”

I immediately opened my eyes wide and stared at her,

“Are you speaking incorrectly? Beilu Hill is not a place fit for living. I get it, you want to come over to keep me company, right? Did Wenya ask you to do this? You guys really don’t need to go through this trouble, there’s no need, seriously!”

“No, Ayun, hear me out! Recently, I’ve left my child with my mother, and if I go back now, my mother-in-law won’t be pleased to see me, which can easily lead to arguments. I was thinking of staying at your place for a while to have some peace and to create some distance to avoid fighting with her.”

“Uh, what about your child?”

“It doesn’t affect him. My mom is taking care of him.”

“But I’m worried you won’t be used to living over there.”

“No worries, I’ll just take your car from work in the evening, and return in your car in the morning. There’s nothing inconvenient about it. Besides, living at your place could help me save some money.”

When Jian Jing said all this to me, I didn’t really think too deeply about it.

Since she had this request, I didn’t refuse.

After all, that house is big, and Jian Jing isn’t someone who looks for trouble. I had no objections to living with her, so I agreed,

“Alright! Just don’t get too scared.”

“Pfft, I’m not Wenya. I don’t believe in ghosts and spirits. They can’t frighten me!”

“Okay, no problem! In fact, I have everything you need over there, you don’t need to bring anything.”

“Got it!”

“Oh, and just a reminder, little kids can’t go there.”

“Yeah, no worries, my kid is with my mom…”

“So your child is with your mom. Does Yu Jiahang contribute any living expenses?”

It was a long trip, so I just casually asked a few questions.

Jian Jing sighed,

“Contribute living expenses? He used to give some, but now that he’s heard I’m working, he stopped. Occasionally, he’d buy some milk powder for the child, and even then, he nitpicks about how much milk powder the kid consumes, saying it’d be better off with breast milk. Damn it… I’m working and supposed to provide breast milk too? His brain is full of shit.”

“What does your mother-in-law say?”

“What can she say? She doesn’t like my daughter one bit, always running around praying and seeking charms for having a boy. She keeps telling me to quickly have another child, going mad over wanting a grandson. She doesn’t even consider her own circumstances before telling me to have another baby.”

Jian Jing’s complaints came out emotionally charged; I understood that sort of explosive temperament.

Many mothers, after having a child, because of inaction from other family members, end up suffering from kinds of depression…

Suddenly, Jian Jing turned her head to look at me,

“When you had your daughter and then later had another child, was it very tough?”

Her question brought back a lot of memories buried deep in my heart, ones I dared not touch.

“Having another child was tough for me. I developed high blood pressure during pregnancy and couldn’t have anesthesia, so the doctor just went straight in with the scalpel.”

“That must have been painful, right?”

“It was painful… but strangely, when I remember it now, the pain doesn’t seem as intense. Instead, when I see the kids, all the hardship seems to be healed. What mattered the most, though, was that Gu Yuanzhou was there with me the whole time, accompanying me throughout. After giving birth, he didn’t even need a nurse, staying by my side night and day, even holding me as we slept.”
