America.
Cui Li sent her son to school. After returning, she habitually picked up her phone to read the news in her home country. However, as soon as she took a look, she was dumbfounded. She thought of what she had done in the past and what her daughter had done. She suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly.
“So she still showed mercy.”
Forget it, she would be an honest person in the future.
“Cui Li?” At this moment, someone called out.
Cui Li turned around abruptly and her eyes widened. “Sister-in-law?”
“It’s really you.” Zhu Ling walked over. “I knew you were overseas, but I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
“I didn’t expect you to be here too. What a coincidence.” Cui Li sized up Zhu Ling and realized that she seemed to be younger than before. She had clearly walked out from the Zhu family’s matter.
Zhu Ling was Zhu Dechang’s wife and Zhu Yibai’s mother.
However, Cui Li did not have a good relationship with her sister-in-law before. Previously, she held her status and looked down on her sister-in -law. This sister-in-law was also a proud person and never took the initiative to befriend her. Usually, when she saw her, she would at most nod and greet her. In fact, she was not much better than a stranger.
Especially after she divorced Zhu Dekun, she no longer paid attention to the Zhu family. She only knew that after Zhu Dechang was executed, it was Zhu Yibai’s nephew who dealt with the family matters.
Later, after she took her son overseas, she knew even less about the situation there.
She did not expect to meet her here.
“Isn’t it a small world? Hehe, I live here.” Zhu Ling smiled and pointed at a courtyard beside her. “In July, Yi Bai applied for a postgraduate position at a university here. Yishan wanted to study abroad as well, so we came over. The siblings are both in Harvard. You…”
She had never paid attention to her sister-in-law’s situation.
“I live here.” Cui Li pointed at the courtyard in front of her. “Yichen is also studying here now. He also said that he wants to get into Harvard next year, so I bought a house here. It’s convenient for him to go to university in the future.”
“What a coincidence.” Zhu Ling smiled. “When I came, I heard that there were also Chinese people next door. I’ve always wanted to visit, but I was delayed by something. I didn’t expect it to be you. This is good too. We can take care of each other.”
“Thank you, Sister-in-law. ” Cui Li had mixed feelings. Zhu Ling clearly wanted to help her. After all, her son and daughter were all grown up and healthy. They didn’t need her at all. However, on her side.. She really didn’t dare to say if she would need anyone else, so she thanked her sincerely.
“Yichen isn’t coming back for lunch either, right?”
Cui Li nodded. “He’s indeed not coming back. He won’t be back until tonight.”
“That’s good. Today, I asked my sister to send some flour from home. I’m going to roll out some noodles for lunch. Let’s do it together. Let’s make dumplings tonight. Yishan and Yibai will be back by then too.”
Cui Li was stunned for a moment before nodding. “Alright, I’ll go back and pack up.”
Zhu Ling nodded and went to her courtyard not far away.
Cui Li took a deep breath. She had never thought that she would get along with Zhu Ling so calmly one day. However, this felt good. She smiled and quickly returned to the house. She first used her unskilled baking skills to bake a box of small biscuits and a strawberry cake. Then, she changed her clothes and carried the snacks next door..
