Chapter 345: Wen Li’s Wish
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wen Li actually did not care about her daughter-in-law’s background. As long as her family background was clean and she was upright, it was fine. If the Zou family wanted to last long, they had to have a matriarch who knew the big picture.
If she only had a family background and didn’t know anything, then at least she had to be kind and wouldn’t cause trouble.
Chen Xiang definitely could not do it. Back then, Wen Li could tell that she was restless. She had not done anything yet, but she had already started to ask for things. And they were not just gold, silver, or jewelry.
Getting recommendations for roles and a good word in to a famous director didn’t seem to be worth much, but in Wen Li’s opinion, she might as well have asked for money.
These were things that could be obtained with the help of the Zou family’s status. Moreover, even the children of the Zou family were not allowed to do this. They had to abide by the rules and fight for it themselves.
Although the Zou family had special privileges, they didn’t use them like this. Could it be that they had to use the Zou family’s name to do things in the future?
Chen Xiang still wanted Zou Bai to accompany her. No matter what he was doing, he had to put down everything to accompany her. In the long run, he might as well give away the family business.
Therefore, Wen Li did not give her the chance to do so. She directly sent her overseas. In any case, it did not matter where she went as long as she wanted to be a celebrity. Moreover, she had given her a lot of help so that she could live well overseas. She only hoped that she would never come back for the rest of her life.
However, after that, Zou Bai seemed to have cut off all ties with her. There was no one of the opposite sex by his side. She thought that her son was going to die alone.
The only variable was Jiang An. Perhaps it was because they had known each other since they were young that he treated Jiang An a little differently.
This gave Wen Li hope. It did not matter even if Jiang An was divorced and had children. In this era, it was not a big deal.
At the thought of this, Lin Wenli asked, “Have you been in contact with An’an recently?”
She asked with a glimmer of hope. Unexpectedly, Zou Bai nodded and said,
“I’ve been in contact with her recently.”
Wen Li smiled brightly. “How do you feel then?”
Zou Bai had long heard about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from Lin Hui and Meng Yu. They said that this was a problem that needed to be dealt with in advance so that their future days would be smooth.
Therefore, he didn’t say that he and Jiang An were already together. Only by making his mother feel that Jiang An was her savior would he treat her especially well in the future.
Zou Bai said expressionlessly, “It’s alright. After all, we’ve known each other since we were young. It was quite pleasant when we chatted.”
This sentence sounded like nothing, but it was a huge gift to Wen Li. Finally, a woman could walk to her son’s side.
Wen Li had a good impression of Jiang An. She knew that she was a good girl who was independent and strong. She could definitely make the Jiang family stable.
Although Zou Bai didn’t say anything, Wen Li was already fantasizing about the days when Jiang An would marry into the family.
As long as she was willing to be with Zou Bai, Wen Li was willing to give her all her jewelry savings. In any case, these would be left for her daughter-in-law anyways.
Looking at Wen Li’s expression, Zou Bai knew that the first step had succeeded. He stood up and said, “Then I’ll go back to my room first.”
“Don’t be in a hurry to leave. Let’s talk about what the two of you were talking about,” Wen Li said.
Zou Bai was unmoved. “There’s nothing to say.”
Wen Li could not help but roll her eyes at this attitude. This was clearly her own son, but she felt that she had invited an old man to her house. He had never acted coquettishly since he was young. Now, his words were stiff and could not be compared at all to what he was like with Little Feather.
After returning to his room, Zou Bai quickly called Jiang An and said gently, “Did you miss me?”
Jiang An smiled and said, “We’ve only been apart for a few hours. Isn’t it too early for you to ask this?”
“I asked this because I’ve already started to miss you,” Zou Bai said very sincerely.
Jiang An really didn’t expect him to be able to say such sweet words. He was clearly like a big iceberg when they first met.
“I miss you too,” Jiang An said shyly.
Perhaps it was because they were on the phone, but Jiang An dared to say something from the bottom of her heart. If they were face to face, she would not say this no matter what.
The two of them called sweetly to tell each other that they missed each other. Zhao Lan had just returned to the Zhao family in Jingdu City.
Zhao Yan smiled when he saw her. “This is a rare guest. Why are you still free to come back when you usually stay in the Mo family?”
Zhao Lan looked at him. “This is my house too. Is there a problem with me coming back?”
Zhao Yan only made a few jokes. Facing Zhao Lan’s answer, he smiled and did not say anything.
“By the way, I saw Zou Bai,” Zhao Lan said. “He’s dating the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. The two of them look so sweet..”
