Chapter 525: I Am the Sun, You Must All Revolve Around Me

Jian Yining and Jin Wan'er are going to hold a wedding, back in the country, and a big one at that!

The two of them still couldn't be more stubborn than Lady Jian.

After Lady Jian learned she had Menopause Syndrome, she felt dejected for two days, but after two days she was just like before, and even more self-righteously so!

If her son and daughter-in-law were dissatisfied or had opinions, she would directly bring up the fact that she was currently going through menopause as a shield to make them yield.

Jin Wan'er was tortured by her mother-in-law's daily antics to the point of almost divorcing Jian Yining.

But she still loved him very much, so she couldn't divorce.

And so, she yielded.

Isn't it just going back to the country to hold a wedding?

If we must go back, then we go back.

Provisions must go before the troops and horses move.

After Jian Yining and Jin Wan'er agreed, Lady Jian was the first to return to the country to arrange the wedding's various matters; she returned in high spirits!

When she left initially, she was crestfallen and practically fled, fearing retaliation from Sheng Hanyu.

Now that several months had passed, seeing that aside from her sister's family going bankrupt, Sheng Hanyu's fury had not burned her, she took the initiative to request to return.

……

Jiangzhou Airport.

Lady Jian walked out of the arrival gate, stood outside looking around, and after watching for quite a while, she didn't see anyone coming to pick her up.

She took out her phone and dialed Jian Yixin's number: "Sorry, the user you have dialed is powered off..."

"What the hell is going on? If the phone isn't off, she doesn't answer, always saying she's busy, and I don't even know what she's busy with." She muttered in dissatisfaction and switched to dialing her husband's number.

This time it went through, and it was answered in a second: "You've landed? Wait for us at the airport for a while, there's a traffic jam on the road."

She asked: "Yixin's phone is off, is she with you?"

Before returning to the country, she had notified her daughter, son-in-law, and husband separately, telling them all to come pick her up.

To show she was valued.

Lady Jian felt she had been treated unfairly in the United States and was looked down upon by her son and daughter-in-law.

Especially her son, who used to be completely obedient to her, but now followed his wife's every word.

Little sparrow, long tail, marries a wife and forgets his mother.

She had suffered "grievances" in the United States and now wanted to regain her psychological balance upon returning to the country, so she had called her daughter, son-in-law, and husband separately, demanding they come to the airport to pick her up!

"Mm."

Her husband gave a vague promise and then hung up the phone.

When they arrived, Lady Jian discovered that her daughter had not come.

Only her husband and son-in-law had come to pick her up.

"Where is Yixin? Didn't you say she was with you?"

Sheng Zerong went to take the luggage from his mother-in-law's hands and explained with a smile: "It's like this, Mom. Originally Yixin was coming out with us, but then there was an emergency at the company that she absolutely had to resolve, so she had no choice but to go to the company."

"Hmph!"

Lady Jian was very dissatisfied with her son-in-law's explanation.

"Is the company more important or am I more important?"

She dragged her suitcase forward in a huff, walking quite fast.

As she walked, she said: "Now they have all grown up, their wings are hardened and they've flown off on their own, all busy with their own affairs; who still has me in their heart?"

"I haven't died yet; if the plane had crashed just now and I had died, you wouldn't even have been able to see me for the last time..."

Sheng Zerong and his father-in-law looked at each other, both thinking to themselves—is this something a person should say?

If the plane crashed, would you be able to see her just by being at the airport?

It would be the same regardless.

But the two of them could only grumble internally and couldn't say it out loud.

She was already aggrieved enough without them saying anything; if they said that, wouldn't she be angered to death?

The father-in-law and son-in-law chased after her.

Along the way, Lady Jian turned on her repeater mode.

She kept nagging that her daughter didn't have her in her heart, that her son only had his wife in his heart and eyes... in any case, everyone was bad, and everyone had wronged her.

Sheng Zerong also regretted it; he regretted that he shouldn't have come!

Finally, they arrived home.

Sheng Zerong didn't even enter the house; after the servant unloaded the luggage, he hurriedly drove away.

"Hmph!"

Lady Jian put her hands on her hips and glared with hostility at the direction the car drove off in: "Outsiders are just not as close as one's own children; if it's not one's own flesh and blood, they don't feel it. I only said two things and he hurriedly ran off. If it were A Ning and Yixin, they definitely wouldn't be like this..."

When there was no one else to compare with, she would curse her own children.

But with an outsider to compare with, her own children were still better.

Jian Fu really couldn't listen anymore, so he retorted: "Be content. Zerong is already very good. Find someone else and see if they would accommodate you like this?"

"Are you siding with outsiders? I've been gone for so many days and you didn't even take the initiative to call me once. Do you have ulterior motives? Did you take a mistress outside?" Lady Jian had no target for her struggle, so she immediately shifted her fire and got angry at her husband.

Jian Fu glared at her, didn't say a word, and turned to go back inside.

He wouldn't lower himself to her level, but she thought her husband was in the wrong and speechless, so she immediately followed him, unrelenting...

And she forgot about the matter of her daughter not going to the airport to pick her up.

……

Jian Yixin's home.

"Oh, oh!"

Jian Yixin leaned over the side of the crib, playing with Baobao inside the small bed.

So much fun!

The more she looked, the more she loved, straight into the depths of her heart.

The little one was smiling at her, a little thing that especially loved to smile.

Looking at this smile, Jian Yixin felt her heart was filled with sweetness, her maternal love overflowing, impossible to suppress.

This was her Baobao, her life!

There was a sound at the doorway, and the voice of the servant greeting Sheng Zerong came over: "Sir is back, Madam is in the nursery."

"Mm."

Even if the servant hadn't told him, he would have known where his wife was.

Ever since adopting Shi Moli, she had stopped caring about everything else.

She didn't go to the company, didn't care about her husband, and didn't even go to pick up her mother who returned from the United States today, wanting only to stay with Baobao.

He changed out of his outdoor clothes, put on loungewear, washed his face and hands clean, and only then went to the nursery.

"Shh!"

Jian Yixin placed her index finger to her lips, gesturing for silence.

She signaled that Baobao had just fallen asleep, telling him to go out and not disturb the child.

He tiptoed to the side of the crib to take a look at Baobao; the little one was sleeping very soundly, blowing bubbles with his mouth.

The couple went out and returned to their room.

Jian Yixin asked: "Did you pick up Mom? Did she ask about me?"

Sheng Zerong: "She didn't ask."

Jian Yixin:...

She was a bit surprised, feeling this was not normal.

When her mother was in the United States, she could call her dozens of times a day on average; today she hadn't picked her up at the airport and had even turned off her phone, yet she hadn't asked?

"Impossible, she must have asked."

Sheng Zerong tickled her: "If you knew, why ask? If you knew, why still ask?"

"You cunning thing, you didn't go to pick up Mom yourself and made me go instead. Goodness, I almost jumped out of the car to run back on the way..."

Jian Yixin giggled, comforting her husband: "Husband, you've worked hard. I know it wasn't easy for you, it was all for me and Baobao. You know, if Mom finds out I'm staying in confinement at home, we won't have any peace."

She had brought Shi Moli back, not just intending to raise her as her own.

She also wanted to experience the feeling of staying in confinement!

That way, when the child grew up, she could talk to the child just like other mothers—Mom had such a hard time giving birth to you; for the first month after you were born, I couldn't go anywhere and could only stay at home to accompany you.

Therefore, ever since Shi Moli was brought back, Jian Yixin had been "staying in confinement" at home.

"Staying in confinement" naturally meant she couldn't go out to pick people up at the airport.

However, this could not go on as a long-term plan; if she didn't answer the phone for another half a day, her mother would definitely "slaughter" her way to the house.
