Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 323 He brought shame upon himself (1)

"Nothing happened, I was just worried. Don't worry, once you get there, someone will take care of you if anything happens," Ou Luhan said.

Yan Zuozuo breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that nothing had happened.

She was going to Germany, and before leaving, she decided to apologize to Chi's mother. After thinking it over, she realized that she had indeed done many things wrong, which led to the situation she was in today.

In the Chi family's living room, Chi's mother was holding her children and teaching them to speak. When she saw Yan Zuozuo arrive, she asked the nanny to take the children out to play. The two of them sat in the living room, seemingly without anything to say to each other for a moment.

"Is the injury healed?" After a long while, Chi's mother finally asked.

Yan Zuozuo nodded: "It wasn't anything serious to begin with, I'll be fine after a few days of rest." She put the things she brought on the table, "Mom, I'm going to Germany on business in a couple of days, I might stay for a few more days, so please take good care of yourselves, Dad. I'm sorry to trouble you two children."

Chi's mother was taken aback: "What's so hard about taking care of a child? But you're going to Germany on business, won't you see Mo Qing?"

Mother Chi was unaware of Chi Moqing's situation, and Yan Zuozuo didn't intend to tell her, lest the old woman worry. So she smiled and said, "If I go there, I will definitely see him."

“That’s good. Although he doesn’t live at home often and goes out frequently, I, as his mother, am always worried about him whenever he goes out. It’s good that you’re going there; with someone to take care of him, I can feel at ease.”

Yan Zuozuo echoed, "Yes, I will take good care of him, Mom, don't worry."

Chi's mother nodded. Just then, Tong Shili came out of the kitchen. As soon as she saw Yan Zuozuo, she smiled and said, "Zuozuo, you're here? I just prepared a seafood feast for lunch. Stay and eat with us."

Yan Zuozuo paused, her gaze towards Tong Shili somewhat complicated. In this house, it seemed that she was the mistress of the house, while Yan Zuozuo was merely a guest.

“Shili’s cooking skills are quite good, especially her seafood. You should stay here,” said Chi’s mother. Yan Zuozuo lowered her eyes and smiled, “Then I’ll go help Shili.”

"No need, no need. You chat with your godmother in the living room for a while. I'm going to cook. Don't come into the kitchen and disturb me!" With that, Tong Shili went back into the kitchen.

Yan Zuozuo sat there awkwardly, feeling uncomfortable.

Chi's mother glanced at her, poured her a glass of water, and said, "Shili is such a thoughtful child. Even when you're all away, she still knows to come and see me. Whoever marries her in the future will be very lucky."

Yan Zuozuo was startled. Was her mother-in-law trying to intimidate her?

"I visited your aunt and Xinyu a few days ago. I could tell they weren't doing well inside, and it made me feel bad too. By the way, your father is also locked up inside. Have you visited him?"

Yan Zuozuo looked at Chi's mother, not understanding why she would suddenly mention He Cangyuan. She licked her lips, "Although it's very unfilial to say this, I still want to say that I have no father, and his affairs have nothing to do with me."

Hearing this, Chi's mother's face showed a complicated expression. "Everyone makes mistakes in life. The important thing is to know how to repent. You young people should also learn to forgive and let go, you know?"

Yan Zuozuo nodded, inwardly surprised. This was clearly just the beginning for Chi's mother; she probably had more to say than that. Sure enough…

Mrs. Chi took out a photo album from the coffee table, looked through it for a long time, and then sighed and said, "You didn't see what your aunt and Xinyu looked like. They were tortured beyond recognition. It breaks my heart to see them like this. When I was little, your aunt always protected me whenever something happened. Now it's my turn to protect her, but I'm helpless. It hurts me to think about it."

Yan Zuozuo's heart tightened!

Was Chi's mother planning to have her persuade Chi Moqing to give her aunt and the others special treatment? She pursed her lips, listening silently as Chi's mother continued.

“I had a dream last night about your grandmother. She was crying and crying, as if she was heartbroken about your aunt’s situation.” At this point, Chi’s mother held Yan Zuozuo’s hand. “Zuozuo, I know your aunt and Xinyu made a lot of mistakes in the past, but we are still family. Let’s not be so calculative about some things. It’s better for a family to be happy together.”

Yan Zuozuo nodded obediently and looked at Chi's mother, "They have already paid the price for their mistakes, so I no longer blame them."

"That's good, that's good." After a moment of contemplation, Mrs. Chi sighed and said, "I knew you were an obedient and sensible child. When you see Mo Qing this time, tell him all this. Your aunt and Xin Yu know they were wrong, and see if they can be released sooner?"

Yan Zuozuo's eyes flashed: "But they've already been sentenced, can they get out sooner?"

“As long as Mo Qing agrees, he has plenty of ways to handle things. I’m entrusting this matter to you, so you can’t lie to your mother.”

Yan Zuozuo was stunned, momentarily speechless. The aroma of seafood wafted from the kitchen, and her previously whetted appetite vanished. She could forgive the Meng mother and daughter, but asking them to come out…

She glanced at her mother's eager eyes and nodded hesitantly. Just then, Tong Shili came out with a seafood feast, "The food will be ready soon, go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

During the meal, Chi's mother seemed to have returned to the way she was before Meng's mother's incident, treating her exceptionally well, but Yan Zuozuo felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Chi's mother placed a shrimp ball in her bowl, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Zuo Zuo, what's Yi Fanxi like as a person in your company?"

Yan Zuozuo paused for a moment, then said, "He's a very nice person. He lost his mother at a young age and was raised by his adoptive father. He's quite talented."

"So what do you think of him and Shili?"

“Godmother…” Upon hearing this, Tong Shili blushed and gave a shy, coquettish reply. She quickly looked at Yan Zuozuo and said, “Don’t listen to your godmother’s nonsense. There’s absolutely no way we could be together.”

Mrs. Chi laughed: "I think that boy is not bad either. Although he is a bit cold, he seems quite mature. He is of marriageable age, so what's there to be ashamed of?"

“干妈……”

Seeing how well Chi's mother and Tong Shili got along, Yan Zuozuo felt a little worried. Tong Shili's identity was not simple, and she was probably approaching the Chi family for other purposes. Now that Chi's mother treated her like a daughter, Yan Zuozuo was truly uneasy.

"Zuo Zuo?" Seeing that she didn't respond, Chi's mother called her again.

Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "Speaking of which, he and Shili are really a good match. They are a handsome couple with similar interests, and they can help each other in their careers. If they could get together, it would be a match made in heaven."

"Zuo Zuo!" Tong Shili warned playfully, while Yan Zuo Zuo chuckled and looked at her teasingly.

Mrs. Chi laughed out loud: "That's perfect! I introduced Shili to several boyfriends, but she didn't like any of them. I was wondering if this girl had someone she liked. Look, we found out right away."

"Godmother, Zuo Zuo, you're so mean! I'm not going to talk to you anymore!" With that, she went to the kitchen to get the lobster porridge.

"This girl is shy," Chi's mother said, putting food on Yan Zuozuo's plate. "You're all from the same company, and Shili is now my goddaughter. You should help them out and try to bring them together."

Yan Zuozuo paused for a moment and said, "I know, Mom, don't worry."

After dinner, Yan Zuozuo played with the children for a while before heading home. Just as she reached her doorstep, she saw Chi Moqing's special assistant standing there, carrying a large bag of things.

She walked over and said, "Assistant Jane, what are you doing here?"

When Jian Ning saw Yan Zuozuo, she quickly and respectfully went over to greet her, "I bought some things for Madam and brought them over, and also to see if there's anything the family needs."

Yan Zuozuo was somewhat surprised. Chi Moqing's special assistant came to deliver something to her? Suddenly, she seemed to realize something. This must have been specially instructed by Chi Moqing.

Thinking of this, her heart trembled, a warm current flowed through her body, and she couldn't help but tear up. She was worried about him here, and he was worried about her over there.

She should have known long ago that he cared about her more than anyone else...

Suddenly, Yan Zuozuo seemed to realize something. Just because Chi Moqing couldn't contact her didn't mean she couldn't contact others. Yes, that's it!

Chi Moqing has already done enough for her, and this time, no matter what, she has to do something for him.

She looked at Jian Ning, and her eyes lit up!

Chi Moqing's identity is rather sensitive, and there is no concrete evidence. He has only been temporarily restricted in some of his freedom of movement, but otherwise there are no other inconveniences.

Inside the villa, he held his phone and looked at the photos Jian Ning had sent him with a doting expression. In the photos, Yan Zuozuo was all smiles, happily eating a bunch of snacks.

Jian Ning contacted Chi Moqing via video call and was utterly bewildered by his cheerful demeanor. The CEO's freedom of movement was restricted, yet his wife seemed to be doing even better. Instead of being angry, the CEO was overjoyed, practically grinning like a fool. What was going on? What did this mean? She really didn't understand!

"Besides these photos, did Madam say anything else?" Chi Moqing asked.

"Madam asked me to tell the president that she went to accompany the old lady today and had a seafood feast. Tomorrow she will probably go to a five-star hotel for steak and will ask for the red wine that the president left there last time."

“Very good. Pass on a message to Madam for me, telling her to eat and spend as she pleases while I’m away, and that she’s allowed to be extravagant while I’m away. Once I return, she won’t have that chance anymore.”

Jian Ning's lips twitched. What did all this mean? He was completely baffled and couldn't understand it at all.

Just then, the villa's doorbell rang. The butler went to open the door, and soon several men in suits walked in, followed by police officers. It was the usual routine interrogation, nothing new. With a lawyer present, Chi Moqing barely spoke. The men looked helpless and left shortly after.

However, as soon as they left, a familiar face appeared, though somewhat different. Like those celebrities, the face that had undergone surgery needed regular maintenance, and each time it looked a little different.

Upon seeing He Xinrui, Chi Moqing's smile vanished. He exchanged a few words with the lawyer, who then left.

He Xinrui sat in the living room, her gaze fixed on Chi Moqing's exceptionally handsome face. "As expected of President Chi, he can remain so calm even in this situation. He's truly magnanimous!"

Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow: "I don't think I invited Miss He. Let's just get straight to the point."

"Aren't you going to buy me a drink? We've been old friends for a while now."

Chi Moqing's face remained calm and expressionless: "I don't have the habit of sharing drinks with strangers. If Miss He wants a drink, she's probably mistaken."

He Xinrui chuckled, stood up and walked to Chi Moqing's side, sitting gracefully on his lap, gently exhaling a warm breath, "What if I want more than just a drink?"
