Chapter 224 - Typhoon Grandson

After spending the day trying to burn her brain cells as to what was going on in Ryuu's wicked mind, Zhenyi finally decided to leave this matter. It was not as if she was getting anywhere with her case. So, she video called her husband in the night. Talking to him for the next thirty minutes, she decided to hang up the call. 

On the one hand, Zhenyi slept all night peacefully and on the other hand, Ming family felt sleep was the last thought on their mind right now. 

Xins had a peculiar talent. They often slept peacefully after disturbing the sleep of others. 

The following morning, Xin Yichen met Ming Ze and had a long conversation with him, shocking the latter. 

Although these two indeed had a very shocking conversation, it still was not clear as to what they had talked about. 

Something even more shocking happened that day. 

Zhenyi, who was busy appreciating the beauty of the new present she had received from Long Jie that morning, got a call from her mother-in-law. 

It was a point to be noted that Song Lily called Zhenyi. 

Zhenyi frowned when she saw Song Lily calling her number. She wondered as to who gave her mother-in-law her mobile number. 

It was no secret between the two women that they were not a fan of each other. They could be categorized as enemies. 

However, Zhenyi still picked up the call. 

"It's Song Lily. We are having a gathering at Long Mansion and Long Jie's grandmother insisted on inviting you," Song Lily's chilly voice came through the line. 

No pleasantries...Nothing! 

Not like she was expecting from her nasty mother-in-law but still...it was Song Lily they were talking about...the epitome of the real aristocratic woman of modern time. 

Zhenyi had no mood for bearing her mother-in-law's nonsense. Song Lily could go to hell for all she cared, but she did care for Grandma Mian. 

"When did it start?" Zhenyi directly asked. Tell her when the function started, she would be there. This was what Zhenyi actually meant. 

"You're coming?" Song Lily's surprised voice reached Zhenyi's ears. 

Zhenyi smirked. Couldn't she pretend anymore? What a lousy actor! 

"Of course, Mother-in-law," Zhenyi said in a very sweet and gentle manner. "What kind of a daughter-in-law will I be if I refuse your constant insistence? Since you really want me to attend it, I will certainly be there." 

Song Lily had an urge to vomit hearing Zhenyi's gentle tone. Did she not know this daughter-in-law of hers? 

She was anything but gentle and sweet! 

And when did she insist? She was merely informing. 

To be honest, Song Lily didn't want Zhenyi to come and merely informed her as a formality. Who would have thought that the damn girl would end up accepting her invitation! 

Huh…

Suddenly, an idea came into Song Lily's mind. 

"As you wish!" Song Lily smirked. "And the function starts at 11 a.m. I hope my elder daughter-in-law won't disappoint me. " 

With this Song, Lily cut the call. 

Zhenyi cursed her loudly. How could a woman so despicable give birth to a man so great as her husband? 

It seemed Zhenyi forgot that her husband became great after marrying her. Before the marriage, he was arrogant, selfish, bigoted etcetera according to her. 

She checked the time it was 10.30 am. Only thirty minutes were left. 

She knew Song Lily deliberately made things difficult for her but she wouldn't be Xin Zhenyi if she didn't show her sweet mother-in-law law who was the queen of the game which Song Lily was trying to play. 

She picked her phone again and dialed a number. 

"Get the chopper ready we are leaving in ten minutes!" 

With this she tossed the phone on the bed, and loudly called someone out. 

"ADA!" 

In the blink of an eye, Ada appeared before Zhenyi.

Ada was still not dressed in maid's uniform as her position was yet not permanent in Xin residence. 

She was wearing faded jeans and a black T-shirt, resembling no less than an abandoned teenager. 

"What happened?" Ada asked wide-eyed. She appeared as soon as she could once she got the decree that the queen of capitalists had called her. 

"Why are you so shocked?" Zhenyi asked her instead. 

"Shocked? Huh...You cruel capitalists won't understand the pain of us working class," Ada replied with a pout. 

Zhenyi ignored this silly girl. She actually found Ada adorable so she didn't treat her coldly. 

She spoke as she again saw the time. "Choose a showstopper dress for me and get me ready in ten minutes and then...we can discuss your employment contract as to how a poor worker like you will work for a cruel capitalist like me."

Ada had no time to celebrate her new job as she engaged herself in getting Zhenyi ready for whatever show she was going to stop. 

Zhenyi nodded in appreciation as she saw herself in the mirror. Ada was really good at assisting her in time-consuming and irritating tasks like giving her a makeover. She didn't regret appointing Ada for such tasks. 

After all, she was a very wealthy capitalist! 

Today, she was going to make a show of it. 

A knock was heard on the door. 

Ada turned to find another maid coming inside with a dress. She glanced at Zhenyi to know what she needed another dress for. 

"Get ready, you are coming with me," said Zhenyi while leaving the room. "And you have two minutes for it." 

Sob! Sob! Cruel capitalists! 

---

Ada was shocked to see a chopper waiting for Zhenyi at the personal helipad of Xin residence. She stared at Zhenyi in astonishment and asked," Where are we going, Miss Xin?" 

A/N: Hihihi. Ada is gonna get the extent of cruelty of capitalists such as Zhenyi.

On the other side, Song Lily was happily chatting with Liu Shishi, and other ladies she had invited for the function. 

It was a very intimate gathering. Only the immediate family members were invited. The function was held for Wei and his wife as they were welcoming their first child after a few months. 

Initially, Song Lily and other ladies of the house had no plan to invite Zhenyi but when grandma Mian got to know that they had deliberately left Zhenyi behind, she was furious. 

She demanded a clarification from Song Lily. 

Song Lily who was afraid of her mother in law used Zhenyi's health as an excuse for not inviting her but Grandma Mian insisted on having Zhenyi there at any cost. 

Therefore, Song Lily was left with no other choice but to invite Zhenyi. She just called her for formality. Who didn't know inside the Long family how much Zhenyi despised the Long residence? 

However, it seemed Song Lily was thinking too much. It was not Zhenyi who didn't want to reside with them inside the Long mansion but Song Lily's own flesh and blood: Long Jie. 

But Zhenyi surprised her by actually accepting the invitation. She was furious but an aristocratic woman like her didn't show their erratic emotions on her face. 

They were always gentle and serene like her. Not wild and brazen like that lowly birth Tang Reine. 

Song Lily's habit of comparing herself with Tang Reine was incorrigible. 

Since her daughter-in-law was coming, she would show her that she, Song Lily, was not the one to trifle with. 

Song Lily was lost in her thoughts when the sound of a chopper was heard. A very foreign helicopter was landing on the helipad. 

She froze when she saw a smiling Zhenyi walking towards the entrance of the house, a petite woman following her. 

"Mother-in-law." Zhenyi greeted Song Lily with a respectful bow. 

Song Lily cringed when she heard Zhenyi calling her in a gentle voice. However, she maintained the smile on her face and greeted back. 

Before Song Lily could keep her distance from her so-called daughter-in-law, Zhenyi shocked her by hugging her. 

Song Lily played the role of loving mother-in-law in front of her friends and other ladies belonging to their social circle by returning the embrace with a loving smile, but inward she was seething. 

As she was about to pull away, she heard Zhenyi whispering in her ear." Two can play the game, Song Lily." 

There she was. The real Xin Zhenyi. 

"Welcome home, Zhenyi," Song Lily said sweetly. 

Grandma Mian who was sitting on the sofa nearby was actually enjoying the show with fruit juice in her hand. She sipped on the juice and exclaimed," Woah! What an entry!" 

Zhao Meilin who was occupying the seat beside Grandma Mian sighed. This was what she was afraid of! She didn't want her special day to be a battleground for Song Lily and Zhenyi. 

"Grandmother, why don't you stop both of them?" Zhao Meilin asked, surrendered. 

"Stop who?" Grandma Mian feigned ignorance. "Sweet Meilin, we don't say no to free entertainment. And that's my precious Zhenyi you're talking about. She married a typhoon grandson of mine. Do you think you could stop her?"
