Wen Ying was truly very happy.
After she finished handling matters with Pang Jinglong, Xie Qian called Wen Ying to report he was safe.
Wen Ying said she had introduced a lawyer to He Zhen’s childhood friend. “It was quite a coincidence. I originally wanted to ask about He Zhen’s project and discovered he was in trouble… I introduced Lawyer Zheng’s teacher to him.”
Such a coincidence?
A trace of doubt flashed in Xie Qian’s mind.
On second thought, this was indeed something Wen Ying would do.
If she could conveniently help someone, Wen Ying would not spare time or effort.
Moreover, contacting He Zhen’s childhood friend was better than close contact with He Zhen himself.
Xie Qian felt an indescribable little joy in his heart. He proactively asked if Wen Ying needed help. “Since you have gotten involved, you must see it through properly. Abandoning it midway is worse than not helping at all.”
Not helping would mean the mother and son harboured no hope.
Giving hope and then shattering it was worse than never giving it.
“Oh, I know!”
This matter was far from just a divorce lawsuit. It was about Pang Jinglong committing murder and going to prison.
Wen Ying could not explain in detail to Xie Qian, so she quickly changed the topic. “Was your trip abroad smooth? Any progress on the project?”
Xie Qian’s project was treatment.
He had only just arrived at the hospital.
Who would perform the surgery and what plan to use, Xie Qian had not decided yet.
But he did not want Wen Ying to worry, so he said everything was fine.
“There is some progress. We will take it step by step.”
Xie Qian felt Wen Ying would sooner or later hear those rumours. To reassure her, he must maintain contact with her.
Having survived calamity, the two always had endless things to say on the phone. In the end, it was Wen Ying worrying about Xie Qian’s health who took the initiative to hang up.
Xie Qian’s concerns were not wrong. The first to shove the rumours in Wen Ying’s face was that fool Peng Guoqing.
Peng Guoqing was not probing Wen Ying. He treated it as a joke.
“You see how malicious those people are! I think it is that Zhuo woman causing trouble. Seeing Xie Qian’s parents divorced, she cannot wait to take the position!”
Wen Ying was so angry she laughed. “It is indeed a rumour. I just contacted Xie Qian today!”
“Right, right? I said it was a rumour…”
Peng Guoqing was beaming.
Truth is often held only by a few!
Before going abroad, Xie Qian had indeed called Peng Guoqing.
Why had he not called Tai Wu and the others?
It showed that through his unremitting efforts, he had established a truly close friendship with Xie Qian, leaving Tai Wu and the others far behind… Though Xie Qian had also called that idiot Wang Shuang. This rival must be guarded against!
Wen Ying saw Peng Guoqing’s brows sometimes relaxed, sometimes furrowed. She truly could not understand the green-haired one’s brain circuits. She asked directly, “I heard Auntie Zhu is also in Modu?”
“Yes, do you need my mum for something? At this time, she should be shopping.”
Based on his mother’s shopping intensity, Peng Guoqing suspected his dad had angered her again.
He had not asked what exactly happened.
Peng Guoqing did not need to know. Anyway, his mother was never wrong. The wrong one must be his dad!
Wen Ying was delighted. “Really? That is great. I have something I want to ask Auntie Zhu for help with!”
Peng Guoqing perked up.
Oh heavens, he had not misheard?
Wen Ying needed his mother’s help!
Peng Guoqing’s ultimate goal was to be Xie Qian’s most important friend. For this goal, he had consulted his mother on what to do.
Mrs Peng said everyone has needs. Peng Guoqing must identify Xie Qian’s needs.
Xie Qian lacked no money.
Xie Qian had excellent grades.
Even the cheating scumbag dad issue troubling Xie Qian had resolved with Xie Jinghu and Zou Weijun’s divorce.
Now Xie Qian was abroad. Before leaving, he instructed Peng Guoqing to take care of Wen Ying… So helping Wen Ying was Xie Qian’s most urgent need!
Peng Guoqing wanted to throw his head back and laugh. He felt he had found a shortcut to surpass Wang Shuang.
“No problem! My mum is very nice. She likes you a lot. Whatever you need, just say it! Not just my mum. Even if it requires my dad, I will tie him up and bring him!”
Peng Guoqing thumped his chest in guarantee. Wen Ying did not know whether to laugh or cry. “It is not that serious. No need to tie Uncle Peng.”
Perhaps the heavens did not want to see Peng Guoqing too smug. Before Wen Ying met Mrs Peng, Mrs Wang, who had been dawdling in Rongcheng, also came to Modu.
Wen Ying was about to start school.
If Mrs Wang did not return to take over Wen Ying’s work, Yuan Fenghui would have to hire someone externally to replace Mrs Wang’s position.
Mrs Wang really wanted to be a salted fish.
Anyway, her son Wang Shuang had been admitted to university. Whether he became a dragon or worm depended on himself now. No need for mum to fight desperately for him anymore.
Mrs Wang almost convinced herself.
However, after being a salted fish in Rongcheng for a while, Mrs Wang was happy the first few days but gradually felt empty.
Li Mengjiao’s matters.
Yun Chen’s matters.
Zhang Yangning’s matters.
Big and small company affairs.
Mrs Wang even thought of the company security guard little Ma.
Little Ma had been poached from Hunan province. When Tianjiao moved to Modu, little Ma followed without a word.
Little Ma certainly was not as wealthy as Mrs Wang. Whether as a small guard, security captain, or even promoted to head of security department in future, he could not compare to Mrs Wang.
But little Ma had ideals and drive!
So little Ma felt fulfilled and happy every day.
Mrs Wang was unwilling to admit it. After working long at Tianjiao, she was no longer forcing herself to work just for her son Wang Shuang. This job gave her strong self-identity.
Mrs Wang’s family status was already high. Now she had even more confidence.
See? This old lady becoming a housewife is a great sacrifice. If this old lady went out to strive, she could achieve outstanding work results!
Would some vixen seduce the slimmed-down Wang Jun?
Oh, whatever.
If he seduced, let him.
If this dog man misbehaved, this old lady at least worked in an entertainment company. Afraid she could not find pleasing young fresh meat?
Slimmed down? So what.
Still an old tough meat strip.
Twenty-something male models not only had handsome faces but also stud waists and eight-pack abs!
Mrs Wang finished her mental preparation, grabbed her luggage, and bought a ticket.
Wang Jun did not know his wife had even planned a marriage change escape route. On one hand reluctant for his wife to work in Modu, on the other wanting to be a considerate husband personally sending her.
Wang Jun thought, the precious son had not returned to Rongcheng this summer break. He might as well come see what was up.
Mrs Wang had just arrived in Modu when Wen Ying drafted her into service. Hearing Mrs Wang was returning to her post, Wen Ying smiled and flattered her. “I will hold the fort a few more days. There is something I want to ask you for help with.”
Under Wen Ying’s coaxing, Mrs Wang met Mrs Peng.
Peng Guoqing had not expected Mrs Wang Shuang to interfere again. His face twisted in anger, feeling deeply wronged inside.
Wen Ying briefly explained the Pang family’s situation.
“The situation is like this. The lawyer is engaged. The divorce lawsuit will definitely be fought. However, my friend’s mother has a rather timid and indecisive personality, with traditional views. I fear my friend has already seen through his dad’s true colours. His mother may not withstand external pressure and withdraw the suit.”
Suppressed for years, one could not fully awaken in a short time.
Obstructing Mrs Pang’s divorce might not only be relatives from the husband’s side, not only her in-laws.
Perhaps even relatives from Mrs Pang’s natal family.
Divorce is disgraceful.
Having endured so many years, just about to succeed, cannot yield to the mistress.
If Mrs Pang was successfully morally kidnapped by these people with various reasons and truly withdrew midway, Pang Jinglong would definitely go mad!
Mrs Peng and Mrs Wang exchanged a glance.
Mrs Peng tapped the table lightly with her finger. “So you asked us for help to… teach that Mrs Pang?”
Mrs Wang muttered, “How can it be taught in a short time? I guess little Ying means to watch her closely.”
Wen Ying cupped her hands. “Both meanings. You two aunties are the most capable ‘experts’ I know. This matter is entrusted to you!”
Mrs Peng smiled reservedly. “Oh, saying that is too polite. I may not help with other things, but in this kind of matter, I do have some experience.”
From the moment Mrs Peng appeared, Mrs Wang had thrown her best friend Li’s mum to the back of her mind.
Peng Guoqing felt Wang Shuang was his strongest rival. Coincidentally, Mrs Wang also felt Mrs Peng Guoqing was her competitor.
Mrs Wang naturally would not admit defeat. “I have no particular experience, but since little Ying asked, I will certainly do my utmost to save that confused woman!”
