The two of them went to register their marriage in the afternoon. Because they didn’t dare to show their faces and were afraid of gossip, the two of them wore hats and masks from the beginning to the end, giving off a mysterious feeling.
The Zhou family’s parents pretended not to know, but they were actually secretly overjoyed. As long as Zhou Tingyang could tie Xiao Qinke down, then the Zhou Group would no longer have to worry about funds.
“Admit it. Our son is outstanding. That’s why he was able to find a satisfactory daughter-in-law so quickly.”
Zhou Tingyang’s father had never acknowledged Zhou Tingyang’s ability. When he was in the company, he could pick out mistakes even with his breath. However, on this matter, Zhou Tingyang’s father had nothing to say. Because he had seen Xiao Qinke’s heroic appearance when she was willing to spend thousands of gold for Zhou Tingyang.
“Old Zhou, since they’re already married, find some time to discuss with Qinke to meet the two in-laws. After some time, the wedding should be planned. It would anger the Ye family’s mother and daughter to death. Oh right, that mother and daughter are already crippled. Luckily, Tingyang and that little b*tch broke up, or else our Zhou family would be in trouble.”
Lin Wanli had sent the news of Ye Zhenzhen being humiliated in the hotel to the Lin Group. She wanted to see what the old lady’s attitude was now. However, the conclusion she got was that it was forbidden to mention the names of the Ye family’s mother and daughter in the Chairman’s office.
As expected of Old Madam Lin. After all, she had been pampered for so many years. She knew how to pity a dog, but she could also immediately abandon it.
It was no wonder that no matter how she knelt in front of the old lady’s door, she could not get any sympathy from this person. It turned out that the old lady had never treated the women in the family as humans.
Halfway home in the evening, Lin Wanli drove to the Qiushan Hot Spring Zen Temple. When she arrived, the Ye family’s mother and daughter were having dinner in the hall.
She was completely different from the peacock who always wanted to show off.
“President Lin.” The manager went up to greet her and said, “If you have any instructions, you can call us. You don’t have to come here personally.”
Lin Wanli smiled and said, “I just dropped by to take a look. Ye Zhenzhen just had a miscarriage and needs to be nourished. Tell the kitchen to pay more attention to her meals. Also, try your best to satisfy any needs of the mother and daughter.”
“Alright, do you want to meet them?”
Lin Wanli shook her head and turned to leave.
She had only come to give the Ye family’s mother and daughter some confidence, but there was no need for them to meet. She gave them enough care and help through their difficult period. Lin Wanli did not have any special feelings for the mother and daughter. She could not sympathize with them because she would never forget what Ye Zhenzhen had done to Youran in her previous life.
However, since she had already settled the score during the anniversary celebration and Ye Zhenzhen had lost her child, she would not take revenge on her. As for other things, she could help, but she would also benefit from it. This was a win-win cooperation.
Ye Zhenzhen seemed to have caught a glimpse of Lin Wanli when she raised her head. However, it was only a glance. When the manager personally served her food, Ye Zhenzhen asked, “Did Lin Wanli come here just now?”
“President Lin came over and instructed the kitchen to make meals that nourish your body. Then, she asked us to do our best to satisfy your needs. She left because she had something to do,” the manager replied softly.
At this moment, Ye Zhenzhen felt upset.
Looking at the food and drinks prepared by the kitchen for her alone, she increasingly felt that she was not human in the past. Lin Wanli might be ruthless now, but to be fair, two years ago, Lin Wanli had never done anything to let her down. On the contrary, to fight for those unnecessary things, Ye Zhenzhen often used force in the open and the dark.
However, at this moment, Ye Weiyin understood Lin Wanli’s purpose for coming here.
She didn’t get close because she didn’t want to be associated with them.
However, it was beneficial for her to help. But even so, Ye Weiyin still felt that Lin Wanli was soft-hearted because she didn’t need to go through anyone to do anything. However, Lin Wanli still put them on her chessboard and brought them along for them to benefit.
A person was like Lin Wanli, a master of reason and control of people’s hearts. People couldn’t find any fault with her and they even willingly submit to her.
“I heard that Zhou Tingyang came by during the day. You weren’t as impulsive as before. You handled it well.” Ye Weiyin praised, “I used to think that if I wanted to be invincible, I have to keep climbing up to the highest position. Now I understand that true invincibility comes from the determination of the heart.”
“Mom, I just want to focus on my matters now. When I become successful, the things I want will come. Nothing else is important.” Ye Zhenzhen subconsciously touched her face which was beaten during the day.
All the humiliation and mockery were now merely motivation to push her forward.
Lin Wanli had chosen an ‘indifferent’ path for her, and what she wanted to do was to be more indifferent and more ruthless.
After the Zhou couple registered their marriage, they went home happily with the marriage certificate. Mother Zhou prepared a large table of food to celebrate their marriage. Although Father Zhou was still serious, he was still very satisfied with Zhou Tingyang’s situation, so the family of four was happy.
“Qinke, now that you’re married to Tingyang, Mom will love you like my own daughter. Don’t worry, if Tingyang bullies you, you must tell me immediately and Mom will stand up for you.”
Xiao Qinke was a very obedient person. She was also better at sweet- talking than Ye Zhenzhen. She held onto Mother Zhou’s hand and said coquettishly, “Mom, you said it yourself. When the time comes, don’t just love your son.”
“I promise. But Ke’er, since you and Tingyang have registered your marriage, shouldn’t you let us get to know your parents? Besides, it’s time to prepare for your wedding. I have to discuss it with the two in-laws.”
“My parents are very busy, but I’ll find a time to tell them. My parents don’t even know that I snuck out to look for Tingyang,” said Xiao Qinke.
Mother Zhou frowned when she heard that.
She had always thought that Xiao Qinke listened to Zhou Tingyang and even invested a large sum of money because she had the support and understanding of her parents. She did not expect that Qiao Xinke would not tell her family anything.
“Ke’er, what if your parents don’t like Tingyang?” Mother Zhou continued to probe.
“So what if they don’t like him? It’s fine as long as I like him. It’s not like my parents are living with Tingyang.” Xiao Qinke replied as she ate.
Hearing this, Mother Zhou’s alarm bells rang.
If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have urged the two of them to register. She should have investigated Xiao Qinke’s family first. It was indeed a little hasty of them.
However, Zhou Tingyang didn’t think so.
He only felt that Xiao Qinke was a girl who did not care about anything and ran away secretly for him. Now, she even married him without caring about anything. She loved him dearly….
