Yan Zhen originally wanted to go swimming, counting the days, but found that the menstrual period was approaching, so she had to give up, she was idle, and was called to the room by Mrs. Ling to catch up with her about the latest TV series.

Mrs. Ling has a lot of friends, but everyone has their own family, plus she is not young, and she has basically seen the scene of the experience, Mrs. Ling is tired of the entertainment between the wives of wealthy families, and she has begun to become more and more Buddhist, and she rarely goes out to socialize unless necessary.

In Yan Zhen's eyes, Mrs. Ling is actually a little different from the wealthy wife in her impression.

Originally, a wealthy lady of Mrs. Ling's level would have a wonderful and exquisite life every day, just participating in banquets and gatherings was already very fulfilling, not to mention all kinds of vassal and elegant activities, as long as Mrs. Ling was willing, she had money and leisure, and she could live a very chic life.

And Mrs. Ling is more like a mother in an ordinary family, she doesn't have much of her own entertainment life, and she doesn't have grandchildren to bring, and the children have grown up and have their own lives. Mrs. Ling is reluctant to go out for a detached social interaction, and spends most of her time at home every day, although her life is not too boring, but it is definitely not very rich.

Yan Zhen has a good relationship with Mrs. Ling, but after all, she is young and has her own friends, plus she used to have a heart on Ling Yanyu, so even if she didn't go to work before, she didn't spend much time at home.

Now Yan Zhen has become a 9-to-6 office worker, when she comes home after a day of work, she doesn't want to go anywhere, she just wants to lie down comfortably, as for Ling Yanyu, she will be happier if she can't see it.

Yan Zhen and Mrs. Ling seem to be roommates living under the same roof, both of them are idle, and both of them are at home, so they make do with each other.

The ratings of the TV series they are chasing now are particularly high, and Mrs. Ling was originally not interested in this kind of short plot of parents, but she didn't expect it to be so fragrant when she watched it, and the more bloody she was, the more she couldn't stop.

"You said that this mother-in-law is true, why can't you get along with your daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Ling discussed and complained with Yan Zhen while watching the drama, "It is said that women should be embarrassed by women, I think women like to embarrass women the most, can't mother-in-law and daughter-in-law live in harmony?" ”

The reason why Mrs. Ling likes to chat with Yan Zhen is because Yan Zhen respects her, but she will not deliberately obey her. Just like now, Yan Zhen ate cherries with satisfaction, and said honestly, "For thousands of years, saints have not been able to solve the problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, at least eighty or ninety percent of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are so unable to be harmonious." ”

"That's right." Mrs. Ling seemed to remember something, and nodded empathetically, "It's because I'm too idealistic about real life." ”

Yan Zhen leaned over and quipped, "Auntie, have you ever had a conflict with your grandmother before?" ”

Mrs. Ling's look of unbearable past events made Yan Zhen laugh out loud.

"That is, to talk to you, I haven't even said Yanchen to them." Mrs. Ling quietly shared her little secret, "My mother-in-law told Yanchen when Yanchen was very young that I am not a family with them, and I don't have the surname Ling. I was so angry that I wanted to flip the table on the spot, but although I couldn't hold back, I couldn't pretend to be good. ”

Yan Zhen asked curiously, "What is the reaction of the eldest brother?" ”

Mrs. Ling smiled happily, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of relief, "Yan Chen was only three or four years old at the time, and he asked my mother-in-law, then grandma, your surname is not Ling." ”

"Big brother is too good at talking!" Yan Zhen sighed, worthy of being a business tycoon, he is logical and meticulous at such a young age.

Mrs. Ling nodded, "Yan Chen was clever when he was a child, he talked a lot, his little mouth kept talking, and he always had endless questions. I was still annoyed with him at that time, but I didn't know that within a few years, he would become a treasure of words, I asked him a question, and he replied, and he refused to say more than half a word. She said very frustratedly: "With his stuffy temperament, I'm really worried that he won't be happy in his married life in the future." ”

Yan Zhen has a different point of view, Ling Yanchen's kind of workaholic is probably someone who doesn't need love, just like her! She actually defended herself for Ling Yanchen: "Not everyone thinks that marriage is the most important thing in life, everyone's understanding of happiness is different, I think the eldest brother is an understanding person, and he should know very well what is most important to him." ”

"Why isn't it important to get married?" Mrs. Ling was puzzled.

Yan Zhen pondered for a moment and tried to explain diligently: "Everyone has their own fate, and it's not good to force it. If the eldest brother really longs for love and marriage, then he will definitely meet the right person for him, but it is only a matter of time. ”

Ling Yanchen, who was standing at the door, was a little stunned when he heard these words. He was about to say a word to Mrs. Ling before leaving, but as soon as he walked to the door, he found that the door was open, and his mother and Yan Zhen were chatting, and he hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to go in and disturb them.

Ling Yanchen stood in place, hearing Yan Zhen and his mother's happy laughter, his eyes couldn't help but be stained with smiles.

Ling Yanchen walked downstairs with a light movement, and happened to meet her aunt who had just stewed sweet soup in the kitchen. Aunt Zhang has been with his mother for many years, and he has always respected her, "Aunt Zhang, it's so late, you have to rest early." ”

Aunt Zhang responded with a smile, but she finally ran into Ling Yanchen, so she naturally wanted to talk to him about family affairs, but fortunately, Ling Yanchen was very patient with the people at home.

"Zhenzhen has been very sensible recently, she used to love to run out, and she often didn't see anyone, but now she will watch TV and walk with her wife every day, and her wife has been in a much better mood recently." Aunt Zhang sighed deeply, "It's Yanyu, I don't know what's going on, some time ago, I was arguing every day to cancel the marriage contract with Zhenzhen, which made my wife anxious." Zhenzhen was not happy in her heart, she tossed herself to a fever, she burned to almost forty degrees, and she had a high fever that did not go away, and when she woke up, she talked nonsense again, and she was also hurt by Yanyu. ”

Aunt Zhang is a distant relative of Mrs. Ling, and she has been in the Ling family for many years, so she watched Ling Yanchen grow up, otherwise she would not have talked to him about these housework for no reason.

Ling Yanchen nodded, indicating that he knew.

"I think Yanyu may have been calculated, that Miss Su has an unusual skill." Aunt Zhang has her own opinions, "She is not a daughter, and she didn't know Yanyu before, why is the relationship between the two so good that Yanyu wants to cancel the marriage contract for her in such a short time?" ”

Aunt Zhang analyzed it and finally got to the point, "Yan Chen, if you have time, persuade Yan Yu more, he will listen to you." Zhenzhen is a childhood sweetheart with him, and it will be sad to treat Zhenzhen like this for a woman who has only known him for a few months. This is the way things happen between men and women, sometimes if you take a wrong step, there is a good chance that there is no way to undo it. Fortunately, Zhenzhen still likes him, but if he goes too far and makes Zhenzhen completely cold, then he can't chase him back no matter how much he wants to. ”

Ling Yanchen responded, Aunt Zhang was relieved, and began to nag him again, "Yanchen, you too, hurry up and find a girlfriend, I see that you have been alone for so many years, and I am also anxious." ”

Ling Yanchen has indeed been very busy at work in recent years, and everyone in his family knows it, so even if Mrs. Ling is very anxious, she will not urge him too often, but occasionally say a word or two when talking on the phone.

Aunt Zhang has always been worried, and every time she sees Ling Yanchen, she always can't help but nag. Fortunately, no matter what Ling Yanchen thinks in his heart, he will obediently respond to it on his face, and it will not embarrass people.

After Ling Yanchen said goodbye to Aunt Zhang, he drove away from Ling's house.

Ling Yanchen has never liked to do useless work, if the other party refuses to accept it, he will not bother to say it a second time. On Yanyu's side, he was not ready to waste his tongue again, everyone in the Ling family could clearly see that Su Yiqiu had ulterior motives for him, but he was blinded by his own lard, even if other people shouted ten thousand times with a loudspeaker in his ear, he couldn't listen to a word.

The situation on the Pei family's side, you can know with a little inquiry that Pei Yunyi wants to fight for the family property and status, and Mr. Pei is also old, and he has been under the suppression of his wife for many years, and he is holding a breath in his heart. Mrs. Pei's children didn't take Pei Yunyi to heart at first, and this kind of indifference allowed Pei Yunyi to slowly have her own power. However, Pei Yunyi is weak after all, and he still has no strength to compete with him for the time being.

Su Yiqiu naturally stood on Pei Yunyi's side. Pei Yunyi must have attracted the support of other families behind him, and he didn't want his half-siblings to know, so he came to make a move. Su Yiqiu deliberately approached Yanyu just to misunderstand the Pei family and make them think that it was the Ling family who helped Pei Yunyi.

Ling Yanchen didn't pay attention to this matter at all, there were countless open and secret battles between wealthy families, as long as it didn't really threaten the interests of the Ling family, he didn't bother to care about those clowns.

It's just that when he remembered what Aunt Zhang said, he suddenly thought of Yan Zhen's sadness and pain...... Ling Yanchen dialed the phone number of his friend and subordinate, and the other end was quickly connected.

Ling Yanchen drove the car smoothly, his tone was as calm as ever, as if he was gossiping, "Do we have cooperation with Pei's family?" ”

"Well, there is cooperation, we are their customers." The friend on the other end of the phone responded.

Ling Yanchen pondered for a moment and continued, "I think the contract should be about to expire, right?" ”

The other end of the phone clicked, "Your memory is really impressive, you remember this little thing clearly." Yes, it's about to expire, and the general manager of Pei's side has been talking to me about renewing the contract recently. ”

"Pei is not the only option for us, we don't have to renew the contract when it expires." Ling Yanchen said slowly: "Yixin has done no worse than Pei's in this regard, you can release the news and let Yixin take the initiative to contact us about cooperation." ”

The friend on the other end of the phone was stunned, "Don't cooperate with Pei's anymore?" Although I don't really like Pei's cooperation model, if the contract is not renewed, there will definitely be suspicions, and there will even be reports that Pei's and Ling's are not compatible. And Pei's side is full of confidence, and now they suddenly don't renew the contract, and I don't know what they will guess. ”

Ling Yanchen's gaze was grim, "I don't need to consider the situation and mood of the Pei family. ”

Well, that's right, after all, the Pei family is not a level that can be compared with the Ling family in all aspects of the underlying power. When does the big guy need to look at other people's eyes and consider other people's feelings?

"I just felt a little sudden." The voice on the other end of the phone paused, and asked cautiously and gossipyly, "Is there anyone in the Pei family who has offended you?" ”

Ling Yanchen replied calmly: "No." ”
