Ding Yinuo has been increasingly reckless with his words lately.
Half an hour later, Yu Jiahang called me urgently.
“I’m at the hospital, where are you?”
“Right in front of you!”
I waved my hand, and out of the crowd Yu Jiahang spotted me. As he walked towards me, he greeted me with a bow.
“Big boss, warrior, hero! Please, stop making things difficult for us and let us be. Our company is very busy now, we cannot afford any interruption to our data. We are just ordinary workers and if our work goes wrong, we are unable to pay the price. Please don’t bully me.”
Yu Jiahang put on a piteous face.
I looked at him calmly.
“If I were Jian Jing, I would never choose a man like you who always stands only from his mother’s point of view.”
Yu Jiahang became somewhat defensive.
“My mom raised me, what’s wrong with me standing by her side?”
“But right now, Jian Jing just got married into your family! She’s pregnant and needs your care! Your mother, however, is constantly pressuring her. You mother might be old and unable to discern right from wrong, but you are her husband. She gave you her whole life because she loves you, but you stand with an insensitive and selfish old lady. Isn’t this letting her down?”
Yu Jiahang defended,
“You guys are overthinking. My mom doesn’t have any ill intentions. She just wants to bring my sister’s child here for school and she refuses. Her refusal to transfer the custodianship just shows her lack of trust in me and our family.”
“Look, who taught you those words? If your family really wants her house, why don’t you just pay her for it?”
“If our family could afford it, why would we embarrass ourselves by asking for her help?”
“What you’re doing is not asking, it’s scheming!”
I was also quite angry at Yu Jiahang’s words. No wonder Jian Jing is always being wronged.
I knew that continuing the discussion would be pointless.
“Alright, I won’t argue with you anymore. Take Jian Jing home and treat her well. I’ll fix your company’s network right away.”
“Hey sis, is it really right for you to do this to me?”
“Listen, if harm comes to Jian Jing again, I have more tricks up my sleeve.”
Indeed, there’s no use reasoning with these heartless men.
Sometimes, you can only fight fire with fire, or else they will never realize their mistake.
Under my threat, Yu Jiahang finally compromised. Not only did he visit Jian Jing in the hospital, but also apologized to her and made a promise in front of all her sisters.
He now vowed that he would stand on her side whenever she quarreled with his mom.
Jian Jing was now getting better, and at this moment, she happily went home with Yu Jiahang.
Wenya and I finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Ayun, you’re really resourceful. Without your intervention this time, it would have been hard for Jian Jing to get her footing in the Yu Family; especially if her husband and mother-in-law were teaming up against her. Nobody could put up with that.”
I sighed, “My help is only temporary. I sense that the mother-in-law from the Yu Family won’t surrender that easily.”
“I feel Jian Jing should not have married into this family, her mother-in-law is quite an operator!”
“There’s nothing she could do! She is pregnant. If she could only have seen things more clearly earlier.”
“Ugh, my mom used to say that before you marry, you need to understand the character of the parents-in-law. If they don’t have a good character, you should never marry into such a family.”
Wenya lamented.
Unexpectedly, someone else chimed in.
“Strongly agree! One should marry into a family with a good mother-in-law and a warm family atmosphere …”
I turned back and saw Ding Yinuo, strolling over. The collar of his white coat was open, making him look somewhat unruly.
In the light, a gentle and indescribable affection flowed from his delicate brows and eyes.
Wenya continued the conversation, laughing.
“Exactly, the atmosphere in the Ding Family is excellent. I’ve met your mother, and she is a great lady. She’s kind, cordial, and reasonable. Your parents have an exceptionally harmonious relationship…”
At that moment, as I watched Ding Yinuo coming towards me, that gentle look turned to me suddenly.
I realized something.
Who truly wrote that love letter.
Was it really him?
But, didn’t he clearly dislike me during high school?
In order to unearth the truth, I made a decision.
“Dr. Ding, you see, thankfully you stepped in today. With your help, Jian Jing was able to reconcile with her husband. So how about this: today, I’ll treat you to dinner on behalf of Jian Jing?”
“I’m honored!”
The dinner location was chosen by Wenya, and I thought it would just be the three of us.
However, Ding Yinuo called Su Peisheng over, and he brought a friend along.
We bumped into Jiang Jiaying at the restaurant. Su Peisheng casually invited her and she joined.
In the end, there were about ten of us…
With more people, the atmosphere became lively.
Everyone was eating and drinking, and the men were toasting each other.
A few times Su Peisheng offered a toast to Wenya, but she always held her glass tightly, “No, I can’t drink!”
“You’re lying! The last time I saw you with Miss Song, you were enjoying your drink. I was amazed by your tolerance.”
Wenya glanced at him, rolling up her sleeve.
“You have good eyesight. Yes, I used to be able to drink, but… can’t I quit?”
“Really? When did you quit? How come I didn’t know?”
“It started … seeing you now! Is that alright?”
Su Peisheng laughed lightly, raised his thumb.
“You’re tough! I’m too superficial!”
“Well, it’s good that some people are self-aware. Remember not to provoke me next time!”
“Don’t you feel … we are quite similar … they say people of the same kind flock together, how about … we get together?”
“Who is like you?”
While these two were bickering, Jiang Jiaying, seemingly out of nowhere, began to toast Ding Yinuo.
“Dr. Ding, I toast to you. From now on we will work together and we need to look out for each other!”
Ding Yinuo raised his glass, “No problem! Here’s to our camaraderie at work.”
Ding Yinuo was very tactful, knowing how to handle situations delicately. With the phrase ‘our camaraderie at work’, he managed to rebuff Jiang Jiaying’s advances.
Jiang Jiaying suddenly raised a new topic,
“By the way Ding Yinuo, is it true that you used to have a crush on Song Yun?”
The way Jiang Jiaying looked at me was odd, and I instantly understood her intentions. She wanted to insinuate that Ding Yinuo is a playboy.
Ding Yinuo put his wine glass down, turned his head to look at me, and openly admitted,
“Yes, the rumor is true!”
“But later, you chose to pursue me… I’m very curious, if you had a crush on her, why did you choose to be with me!?”
