Chapter 305 Tong Shili's Schemes
Chapter 305 Tong Shili's Schemes
Chi's mother was hurt by Chi Moqing's words. Without waiting for the driver to pick her up, she walked outside alone. It was drizzling, and a cool breeze blew by, making her shiver.
"Aunt Chi?" Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice rang out. Mother Chi looked up and saw a somewhat familiar figure approaching. It was as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place him.
Tong Shili, dressed in a standard business suit, smiled gently, looking beautiful as if she were untouched by worldly affairs. She walked to Chi's mother's side and said with a smile, "Aunt Chi, do you still remember me? I'm Zuo Zuo's colleague. I've even been to your house before."
"Ah, I remember now, you're Miss Tong," Mrs. Chi said with a smile.
"Auntie has such a good memory. Oh, it's raining now, why aren't you using an umbrella?" As she spoke, she leaned the umbrella against Chi's mother, leaving herself almost completely exposed.
Mrs. Chi said apologetically, "I was just about to go back. You can keep the umbrella, don't worry about me." Recalling the unpleasant scene of their last meeting, she smiled apologetically, "I had something to do at home last time, and Miss Tong had to watch me make a fool of myself."
Tong Shili insisted on holding an umbrella for Chi's mother: "Auntie, you're joking. I'm actually quite envious of Zuo Zuo. Having President Chi protecting her like this is no joke at all; it's clearly a display of affection. I'm so jealous!"
When they met last time, Chi's mother thought Tong Shili was generous and proper. This time, she thought she was a good girl even more. She couldn't help but ask, "Miss Tong is so understanding, don't you have a boyfriend yet?" After saying that, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm getting old and I like to ask these kinds of questions when I see younger people. Don't bother with this old woman."
Tong Shili chuckled: "Auntie, you're not old at all. In my opinion, you're only forty."
"You little rascal, you have such a sweet tongue." Mother Chi chuckled, then thought of her troublesome son and sighed softly.
Seeing this, Tong Shili deliberately asked, "Auntie seems unhappy today. Did something happen?"
Chi's mother glanced at her, waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just some trivial matter, let's not talk about this."
Tong Shili smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. But I really don't have a boyfriend. If you know anyone suitable, you can introduce me to him."
Chi's mother paused slightly, then suddenly remembered Lu Yaoyuan. Yan Zuozuo had previously said that Lu Yaoyuan and Song Yutong were getting along, but so much time had passed and nothing had happened between them. Tong Shili was a good girl; perhaps she should introduce her to him?
"I have a good candidate here, Miss Tong is someone I know, but I don't know if you'd be interested." Chi's mother and Tong Shili found an open-air snack shop to sit down, with a large umbrella over their heads and the sound of pattering rain all around them.
Tong Shili asked curiously, "Do I know him?"
Mrs. Chi smiled and looked at her. "It's just that your company is far away. I watched this kid grow up. Don't let his carefree attitude fool you, he's actually a pretty good young man. How about it, do you want to consider it?"
Meeting Chi Mu's mocking gaze, Tong Shili felt a pang in her heart. The road was too far? She might as well just kill her.
However, she still smiled and said, "Auntie, please stop joking with me. Director Lu is Director Song's boyfriend. I don't want to be a third party. Auntie, please forgive me."
Mrs. Chi was taken aback, then immediately overjoyed, "So, there's progress on the two of them?"
"They're a pair of bickering lovers, and no one can break them up," Tong Shili said with a smile.
"Ah, since that's the case, let's pretend Auntie didn't say anything. Look at how senile I am." Although she said this, she was very happy inside. Her daughter had delayed that boy for so long, and now that he had finally found a girlfriend, she could finally rest easy.
She reached out and took Tong Shili's hand, saying, "It's okay if it's far away. Your aunt will introduce you to others. I like you, and I'll take care of your marriage."
"Thank you so much, Auntie," Tong Shili said with a smile. Just then, the driver arrived, and she helped Chi's mother into the car.
Chi's mother took her hand and said, "Where are you going? I'll have the driver take you."
"No need, Auntie. I just came out to grab a bite to eat; I have to go back to work soon."
"Oh, that's good. Come out and sit with me when you have time, have some tea and chat."
"That's for sure. I'll have to rely on you, Auntie, for my marriage. Alright, I won't say any more. Take care on the road." Tong Shili considerately closed the car door, waved to Chi's mother, and left.
Watching her retreating figure, Chi's mother couldn't help but sigh, "What a considerate girl, what a pity."
The driver froze. Could it be that the madam was getting tired of the old and wanted to find a second wife for the young master? Shock!
Inside the villa, Yan Zuozuo cooked a feast for Chi Moqing, with fish, meat, and vegetables—it tasted delicious. Chi Moqing ate with great delight and was now contentedly watching TV with his wife in his arms.
Yan Zuozuo had just put the child to sleep and was nestled in Chi Moqing's arms reading the newspaper. Chi Moqing patted her shoulder intermittently, just like he was soothing a baby.
Suddenly, Yan Zuozuo exclaimed, "Wow, Meng Xinyu's case has been sentenced to ten years! That's so long, won't she be almost forty by the time she gets out?"
Hit-and-run resulting in death carries a sentence of seven years or more in prison. Meng Xinyu's case is particularly egregious, hence the heavier punishment: ten years, a full ten years. I wonder if she can make it through.
"I still think it's too short," Chi Moqing snorted.
He shouldn't have let Meng Xinyu cause so much trouble. If he had dealt with her earlier, it wouldn't have led to so much trouble and caused his wife to suffer so much.
"You reap what you sow. She should have thought of the consequences when she had ill intentions towards you."
Yan Zuozuo blinked: "Honey, this is your cousin, don't you feel sorry for her?"
"I don't feel bad!" Chi Moqing said crisply.
Yan Zuozuo glanced at him and asked again, "What about Auntie?"
“My aunt is no longer under my control,” he said simply.
Upon hearing this, Yan Zuozuo frowned, then suddenly remembered the doctor Yi Fanxi had brought over. Her eyes widened abruptly, "Honey, you didn't really hand Auntie over to that doctor, did you?"
Chi Moqing shrugged: "I just handed her over to the law; the rest is not my problem."
Of course it was his fault. How dare she hurt his wife! He wanted to tear her to pieces! However, considering she was his aunt, he showed her mercy and handed her over to the doctor. As for the consequences... good luck to her.
"Alright, honey, Xiao Ran is getting married soon, then it's our wedding, and there are still a lot of things to do. Let's not think about these things anymore." Chi Moqing lowered his head and placed a kiss on her lips.
Yan Zuozuo thought about it and agreed. Xiao Ran was getting married in a few days, and Chi Moqing's injuries had improved a lot. They would soon be going abroad to attend Xiao Ran's wedding, so they could put these things aside for now.
"Honey, I suddenly don't want to go to Xiao Ran's wedding anymore," Chi Moqing said, hugging her affectionately.
Yan Zuozuo was stunned: "Why? Xiao Ran is your sister."
Chi Moqing pouted and said dejectedly, "Once we get there, Xiao Ran will definitely keep bothering you with all sorts of questions, and you won't have time to be with me. Why don't we just stay home? I'm injured anyway..."
"Chi Moqing!" Yan Zuozuo growled helplessly, "You only have this one sister, and you're only getting married once in your life. How dare you try to cheat me? That's outrageous! You can choose not to go, but I'm definitely going!"
Seeing Yan Zuozuo's angry expression, even though his suggestion had been rejected, Chi Moqing was secretly pleased. His wife was so considerate and understanding. How could he allow anyone to defile his wife who loved him so deeply?
A shadow crossed his eyes as he recalled what Chi's mother had said today.
"What are you thinking about, honey?" Yan Zuozuo looked at him curiously, unsure if she had seen wrong. Was President Chi just angry?
Chi Moqing smiled, gently stroking her long hair, and said affectionately, "I was thinking about our wedding. My wife will definitely be the most beautiful woman in the world. It's all my fault as a husband. It's been so long since we got married before I finally gave you a proper wedding. Wife, I'm sorry."
These words made Yan Zuozuo feel a bittersweet feeling. She gently stroked Chi Moqing's face and murmured, "I'm the one who should apologize. You've done so much for me, but I only thought of myself. Husband, I promise I'll be a considerate and understanding wife from now on, so you won't have to worry about me anymore."
"How can that be? A good husband must do his best to shed blood and sweat for his wife and take meticulous care of her. If I don't worry about you, who will?" Chi Moqing held her hand tightly and pressed it against his face, saying, "Wife, don't deprive me of the benefits of being your husband. Loving you has long been the most important thing in my life."
Yan Zuozuo was deeply moved. Like Chi Moqing, her love for him had long been ingrained in her bones and melted into her soul. No one could ever separate them again in this lifetime.
Actually, the wedding had long lost its meaning for them; it was just a formality. However, she knew her husband cared deeply and wanted to give her a grand wedding, wanting everyone to know about their relationship. Even with his injury, he insisted on discussing the details with the wedding planning company. This moved her deeply, and she hugged him tightly, feeling like she must have been a woman who saved the universe in her past life.
The atmosphere was warm and the scene was harmonious, but...
The phone rang. It was someone Chi Moqing had sent to monitor Tong Shili, saying that Tong Shili had met Chi's mother on the street and chatted for a long time, mostly about casual conversation.
Tong Shili?
Chi Moqing narrowed his eyes. Was this finally a move?
"Continue to observe and report back as needed." After hanging up, Chi Moqing looked grave.
Yan Zuozuo asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Mom just ran into Tong Shili, and they apparently hit it off really well."
Yan Zuozuo was puzzled. If that was all, was it necessary to make a special phone call to report it?
Ah, right!
Remembering Tong Shili's identity, she quickly asked, "She didn't hurt Mom, did she?"
"No, don't worry." Chi Moqing reached out and hugged her, gently resting his chin on the top of her head. His wife was so considerate and thoughtful of her family, so how could his mother doubt her?
We absolutely cannot let Meng Xinyu and her mother see her again, otherwise the world will truly descend into chaos!
