Chapter 1304: 319: Two birds with one stone_3

Zhao’s mother nodded.

The servant brought up tea and snacks.

Zhao’s mother said, “Aunt Lian, you may go now.”

“Yes, madam.”

After Aunt Lian left, Zhao’s mother continued, “Jingrong, you and Baichuan already have Zhiyuan. Just settle down and live well with Baichuan. Stop thinking about those other things.”

“Mom, don’t interfere in my affairs. I know what I’m doing,” Zhao Jingrong replied.

Zhao’s mother sighed.

She was truly afraid that Zhao Jingrong would continue making mistakes.

Zhao Jingrong didn’t want to discuss this topic, so Zhao’s mother had to change the subject. “The bracelet that Zhiyuan is wearing—I haven’t seen it before. Who bought it?”

“Ni Yang,” Zhao Jingrong said. Mentioning Ni Yang brought a layer of coldness to her gaze.

Zhao’s mother remarked, “Ni Yang really seems to like Zhiyuan. That bracelet looks pretty expensive, doesn’t it?”

Zhao Jingrong said nothing.

She couldn’t comprehend why Ni Yang was so good to Mo Zhiyuan and liked to hold him so often.

Mo Zhiyuan was her child!

She thought Ni Yang was accustomed to taking things that belonged to others and now wanted to take Mo Zhiyuan away!

Zhao’s mother continued, “By the way, has Ni Yang gotten pregnant yet after being married to Mo Qishen for so long?”

“No,” Zhao Jingrong shook her head. “Ni Yang said she wants to wait a few years before having kids.”

“Wait a few years?” Zhao’s mother frowned. “Ni Yang is quite peculiar. Anyone else would quickly have a child to secure their position with Mo Qishen. After all, Mo Qishen’s status is remarkable! Isn’t she afraid that Mo Qishen might abandon her in the future? Without a child to solidify things, it’s too insecure.”

Love has an expiration date.

If someday Mo Qishen grows tired of Ni Yang and decides to throw her out, what then?

Without a child, divorcing her would be far too simple.

After saying this, Zhao’s mother added, “Could it be that Ni Yang can’t have children and is using this as an excuse?”

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intrigued.

Zhao Jingrong narrowed her eyes. She felt this possibility might be true.

Because Ni Yang couldn’t have children, she was intensely jealous of her, and that’s why she deliberately got close to Mo Zhiyuan.

After all, Mo Zhiyuan was a boy and the Mo Family’s eldest great-grandchild.

She wanted to harm Mo Zhiyuan!

In the Mo Family, if Ni Yang made a move against Mo Zhiyuan, no one would suspect her.

Since that’s the case, why shouldn’t she help Ni Yang accomplish it?

Firstly, she could expose Ni Yang’s true face to the Mo Family and have her expelled.

Secondly, she could rid herself of a burden.

Mo Zhiyuan, in Zhao Jingrong’s eyes, was nothing more than a burden now.

Zhao’s mother noticed something was off in Zhao Jingrong’s expression and nudged her. “What are you thinking about?”

Zhao Jingrong snapped back to reality. “It’s nothing.”

Zhao’s mother continued, “Jingrong, the past is behind us. One must live in the present. Now that you’re a wife and a mother, you need to take responsibility as both. Stop living in your illusions all the time.”

Zhao Jingrong nodded.

Illusions?

Once she successfully bore Mo Qishen’s firstborn son, her mother would realize this was no illusion.

If she had never possessed it, it wouldn’t matter.

But she had once possessed it, and she couldn’t easily give it up.

Because all of this rightfully belonged to her.

Zhao’s mother exclaimed, “Jingrong, have you really thought it through?”

Zhao Jingrong smiled, as though accepting her fate. “What else can I do? Just like you said, our child with Baichuan is already so grown. What more can I mess around with?”

Zhao’s mother was deeply gratified. She had a barely visible glimmer of tears in her eyes, “Jingrong, it’s good to hear you’ve come to terms.”

Though it was Dragon Boat Festival today, Ni Cuihua was not at home.

She was away on a business trip.

At this moment, she was sitting in a cafe across from a young woman.

That person was none other than Ni Qingzhu.

Ni Qingzhu pulled out a stack of cash from her bag and handed it to Ni Cuihua. “Director Ni, thank you for trusting me. This is the profit from this period.”

Ni Cuihua took the money, feeling somewhat surprised.

She hadn’t expected that Ni Qingzhu could actually bring her profits. When she signed the contract, she had only intended to give it a shot and, on the other hand, offer a young person an opportunity.

It turned out this young girl was far more capable than she had imagined!

She was impressive!

Ni Cuihua said, “Honestly, Qingzhu, your abilities have really astonished me. By the way, the factory is currently lacking a regional manager. Would you be willing to take the position?”

Ni Qingzhu smiled and replied, “Thank you for your kindness, Director Ni, but I might not be qualified for the position of regional manager.”

This was a polite refusal.

Ni Qingzhu was a very confident young woman.

She believed that through her skills, one day, she’d make her own mark!

Ni Cuihua said, “If you ever feel ready to take on this position, you’re welcome to contact me.”

“Alright,” Ni Qingzhu nodded. “Thank you, Director Ni.”

Ni Cuihua added, “By the way, Qingzhu, are you a local?”

Ni Qingzhu shook her head. “No, how about you?”

Ni Cuihua said, “I’m from Beijing. By the way, Qingzhu, are you still in school? If there’s anything you need help with, feel free to let me know.”

Although they’d only met a few times, Ni Cuihua really liked Ni Qingzhu.

This fondness arose naturally.

Ni Qingzhu replied, “I’m currently self-studying. My elder sister once told me that girls should never give up learning, no matter the circumstance. I plan to settle down and then go to college. If I have the chance, I’ll pursue a master’s and a Ph.D…”

It could be heard that Ni Qingzhu’s sister had her own strong philosophy as well.

Ni Cuihua nodded. “Your sister is absolutely right. Qingzhu, how many siblings do you have?”

Ni Qingzhu took a sip of coffee. “Just one sister.”

“You’re so capable; your sister must be even more outstanding,” Ni Cuihua commented.

“She is,” Ni Qingzhu nodded, her eyes lighting up as well. “My sister is the most remarkable sister in the world.”

After chatting with Ni Qingzhu for a long time, the sky turned to dusk as they stepped out of the cafe. Ni Cuihua bid her farewell. “Qingzhu, you must visit Beijing when you have the time.”

“I will,” Ni Qingzhu nodded.

Beijing was a place she would surely go.

But not now.

She was still too weak.

She wasn’t strong enough yet.

Give her three years!

In three years, she would return in triumph!
